Tshenolo 7
1 Mme ka bona baengele ba le bane ba eme mo dikhutlong tse nne tsa lefatshe, ba tshwere diphefo tse nne gore di seka tsa foka, gore lekakaba lepe le se ka la nna le mokgwasa mo ditlhareng, mme lewatle la nna borethe jaaka galase.
And after these things, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind might not blow upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree.
2 Mme ka bona moengele yo mongwe a tswa kwa botlhaba, a tshotse sekano se segolo sa Modimo o o tshelang. Mme a goa baengele ba bane ba ba neng ba neetswe nonofo go tlhokofatsa lefatshe le lewatle, “Iketleng!
And I saw another angel which ascended from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Namang lo ise lo dire sepe, se tlhokofatseng lefatse kgotsa lewatle kgotsa ditlhare, go fitlhelela re se na go baya sekano sa Modimo mo diphatleng tsa batlhanka ba one.”
saying, Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.
4 Ke ba le kae ba ba neetsweng lotshwao lo? Ke ne ka utlwa gotwe palo ya bone ke dikete di le lekgolo le masome a masome a mane le bone, mo ditsong tsotlhe tsa Iseraele tse di lesome le bobedi, jaaka di rulagantswe fa: Juda 12,000 Rubene 12,000, Gade 12,000, Ashe 12,000, Nafetali 12,000, Manasa 12,000, Simeone 12,000, Lefi 12,000, Isekare 12,000, Sebulane 12,000, Josefa 12,000, Benjamine 12,000.
And I heard the number of those that were sealed; and there were an hundred forty and four thousand sealed out of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand:
of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand:
of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand:
of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand: of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 Morago ga mo ka bona bontsintsi jo bogolo jwa batho, bo le bogolo thata mo bo neng bo se ka ke jwa balwa, go tswa mo merafeng yotlhe le mo mafatshing le dipuo (diteme), bo eme fa pele ga setilo sa bogosi le fa pele ga Kwana, bo apere bosweu bo tshotse dikala tsa mokolane ka diatla.
After this I beheld, and lo, a great multitude, which no one could number, out of all nations, and tribes, and people, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and with palms in their hands;
10 Mme ba ne ba goa mo go boitshegang ba re, “Poloko e tswa mo Modimong wa rona o o ntseng mo setilong sa bogosi, le mo go Kwana.”
and crying with a loud voice, saying, Salvation be ascribed to our God, who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb.
11 Mme jaanong baengele botlhe ba bo ba dikaganyeditse setilo sa bogosi le bagolwane le ditshedi tse nne, ba digile difatlhogo fa pele ga setilo sa bogosi ba obamela Modimo.
And all the angels stood round the throne, and round the elders, and the four animate beings; and fell on their faces before the throne, and worshipped God, saying, Amen:
12 Ba re, “Amen! Pako, le kgalalelo, le botlhale, le malebogo, le tlotlo, le nonofo, le thata di nne go Modimo wa rona ka bosakhutleng. Amen!” (aiōn g165)
Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and strength be ascribed to our God for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
13 Hong mongwe wa bagolwane ba ba masome a mabedi le bone a mpotsa a re, “A o itse gore ba ke bo mang ba ba apereng bosweu le gore ba tswa kae?”
And one of the elders said unto me, Who are these that are clothed in white robes, and from whence did they come?
14 Ka re, “Nnyaa, Morena, tswee-tswee mpolelela.” A re, “Ba ke ba ba tswang mo pitlaganong e kgolo, ba tlhatswitse dikobo tsa bone, ba di sweufaditse ka madi a Kwana.
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who come out of great affliction, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Ke gone ka moo ba leng fano fa pele ga setilo sa bogosi sa Modimo, ba mo direla bosigo le motshegare mo tempeleng ya gagwe. Yo o ntseng mo setilong sa bogosi o tlaa ba sireletsa;
Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in his temple: and He that sitteth upon the throne shall dwell among them.
16 ga ba kitla ba tlhola ba tshwarwa ke tlala gape, kgotsa lenyora, mme ba tlaa sirelediwa ka botlalo mo mogoteng o o fisang wa letsatsi.
They shall hunger no more, nor thirst any more, nor shall the sun nor any violent heat fall upon them.
17 Gonne Kwana yo o emeng fa pele ga setilo sa bogosi o tlaa nna modisa wa bone a bo a ba etelela pele a ba isa kwa metsweding ya metse a Botshelo. Mme Modimo o tlaa phimola dikeledi tsa bone.”
For the Lamb, that is in the midst of the throne, shall feed them, and shall lead them to fountains of living waters: and God will wipe off every tear from their eyes.
