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 who sat on the throne, a scroll written within and without, 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 mighty messenger proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to loose its seals?
3 Nomba paliya walacanika kwilu nambi pa cishi ca panshi nambi kwinshi ca cishi, walikukute ngofu sha kucalula libuku ne kubona bili mukati.
And one one in heaven, nor upon the earth, nor under the earth, was able to open the scroll, or to look into it.
4 Ndalalila kwine pakuboneti paliya walikuba welela kucalula libuku ne kubona bili mukati.
And I wept abundantly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll, nor to look into it.
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 said to me, Weep not; behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and its seven seals.
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, in the middle space, between the throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, there stood a Lamb, which seemed to have been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes; these 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 scroll out of the right hand of him who 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 received the scroll, the four living creatures, and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one harps, and golden vials full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the 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, Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it; for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and language, 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, to our God, kings and priests: and we shall reign on 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 heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and of the living creatures, and of the elders: and the number of them was myriads of myriads, 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 might, and honor, 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, even all things that are in them, I heard saying, To him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and strength, for ever and ever! (aiōn g165)
14 Bya buyumi bina byalakumbuleti “Ameni!” Basa bamakulene balasuntama ne kukambilila.
And the four living creatures said, Amen: and the elders fell down and worshiped him.
