Kuyubulula 5
1 Panyuma pakendi ndalabona libuku mu cikasa ca kululyo ca uyo walikuba wekala pacipuna ca bwami lyalembwa mukati ne kunsa, lyalikuba kayi lyadindwa ne bidindo bisanu ne bibili.
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 Kayi ndalabona mungelo ukute ngofu sha bwendeleshi kepusha mwakompolola, “Inga niyani welela kumatula cidindo ne kucalula libuku ili ne kubona bili mukati?”
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 Nomba paliya walacanika kwilu nambi pa cishi ca panshi nambi kwinshi ca cishi, walikukute ngofu sha kucalula libuku ne kubona bili mukati.
And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 Ndalalila kwine pakuboneti paliya walikuba welela kucalula libuku ne kubona bili mukati.
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 Neco umo wa bamakulene basa walang'ambileti, “Kotalila. Kobona! Inkalamu ya mu mukowa wa Yuda, mushikululwa wa Dafeti, elakomo nkondo, neco ewelela kumatula bidindo ne kucalula libuku.”
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 Popelapo ndalabona Mwana Mbelele kali wemana pakati pacipuna ca bwami, kali washingulukwa ne bya buyumi bina ne bamakulene makumi abili ne bana. Mwana Mbelele walikuboneketi pali lamushini, walikukute meca asanu ne abili kayi ne menso asanu ne abili. Uku ekwambeti mishimu isanu ne ibili ya Lesa yatumwa mu cishi conse ca panshi.
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 Mwana mbelele walamanta libuku lisa lyalikuba mu cikasa ca kululyo ca usa walikuba wekala pa cipuna cabwami cisa.
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 Mpwalamanta libuku, bya buyumi bina ne bamakulene makumi abili ne bana balawa pantangu pa Mwana Mbelele. Umo ne umo walikukute kalumbu ne ndilo shadongomana shagolidi shesula twanunkila, uku ekwambeti, mipailo ya bantu ba Lesa.
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9 Balikwimbila lwimbo lwalino lino, lulambangeti, “Njamwe mwelela kumanta libuku ne kumatula cidindo ne kulicalula. Pakwinga mwalashinwa, ne milopa yenu mwalaulila Lesa bantu ba mishobo, ne bishi ne milaka kayi ne bantu bankanda shapusanapusana,
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 mulababiki pamo kuba mushobo wa bami ne beshimilumbo beshi kusebensela Lesa wetu, beti bakasebenselenga pano pa cishi ca panshi.”
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
11 Kayi ndalanyumfwa ne kubona bangelo bangi myanda myanda itabelengeke ne bya buyumi bina kayi ne bamakulene makumi abili ne bana kabali bashinguluka cipuna.
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12 Kabembila mwakompolola lwimbo lulambangeti, “Mwana Mbelele walashinwa, ewelela kupewa bwendeleshi ne buboni ne mano ne ngofu ne kulemekeshewa ne bulemeneno kayi ne kushikaishiwe!”
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13 Popelapo ndalanyumfwa byonse byalabumbilwa kwilu ne pa cishi ca panshi ne bya panshi pene pene, bya mu lwenje, byonse bikute buyumi kabimbileti, “Kuli uyo wekala pa cipuna ne Mwana Mbelele bashikaishiwe, balemekeshewe, bapewe bulemeneno ne ngofu kwamuyayaya.” (aiōn g165)
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
14 Bya buyumi bina byalakumbuleti “Ameni!” Basa bamakulene balasuntama ne kukambilila.
And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
