1 Baada ya mambo hayo nilitazama, nami nikaona mbele yangu mlango uliokuwa wazi mbinguni. Nayo ile sauti niliyokuwa nimeisikia hapo mwanzo ikisema nami kama tarumbeta ikasema, “Njoo, huku, nami nitakuonyesha yale ambayo hayana budi kutokea baada ya haya.”
After this, in my vision, I saw a door opened in heaven! And the first voice that I heard speaking with me was like a trumpet, saying, "Come up hither, and I will show you the things that must come to pass hereafter."
2 Ghafula nilikuwa katika Roho, na hapo mbele yangu kilikuwepo kiti cha enzi mbinguni, kikiwa kimekaliwa na mtu.
Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, there stood a throne in heaven, and upon the throne One sat;
3 Aliyekuwa amekikalia alikuwa anaonekana kama yaspi na akiki. Kukizunguka kile kiti cha enzi palikuwa na upinde wa mvua ulioonekana kama zumaridi.
and he who sat was in appearance like a jasper stone and a sardius; and there was a rainbow round about the throne, like an emerald to look upon.
4 Kukizunguka hicho kiti cha enzi palikuwa na viti vingine vya enzi ishirini na vinne, na juu ya hivyo viti walikuwa wameketi wazee ishirini na wanne. Walivaa mavazi meupe, na walikuwa na taji za dhahabu vichwani mwao.
And round about the throne were four and twenty Elders seated, who were clothed in white raiment, with golden crowns upon their heads.
5 Kwenye kile kiti cha enzi palikuwa panatoka miali ya umeme wa radi, ngurumo na sauti za radi. Mbele ya kiti cha enzi, taa saba zilikuwa zinawaka. Hizi ndizo roho saba za Mungu.
From the throne issued lightning and voices and thunders. Seven blazing lamps were burning before the throne; these are the seven Spirits of God.
6 Pia mbele ya kiti cha enzi palikuwa na kile kilichoonekana kama bahari ya kioo, iliyokuwa angavu kama bilauri. Katikati, kukizunguka kile kiti cha enzi, kulikuwa na viumbe wanne wenye uhai, wakiwa wamejawa na macho mbele na nyuma.
And in front of the throne as it seemed, a glassy sea like crystal; and in the midst of the throne and encircling it are four Living Creatures, full of eyes before and behind.
7 Kiumbe wa kwanza mwenye uhai alikuwa kama simba, wa pili alikuwa kama ngʼombe dume, wa tatu alikuwa na uso kama wa mwanadamu, na wa nne alikuwa kama tai anayeruka.
The first creature was like a lion, and the second like a calf, and the third creature had a face like a man’s, and the fourth creature was like an eagle flying.
8 Kila mmoja wa hawa viumbe wanne wenye uhai alikuwa na mabawa sita, na kujawa na macho pande zote hadi chini ya mabawa. Usiku na mchana hawaachi kusema:
And the four Living Creatures, each one with six wings, are full of eyes round about and within; day and night they are chanting ceaselessly. "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty. Who was, and who is, and who is to come."
9 Kila mara viumbe hao wanne wenye uhai wanapomtukuza, kumheshimu na kumshukuru yeye aketiye kwenye kile kiti cha enzi, tena aishiye milele na milele, (aiōn g165)
And whenever the Living Creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)
10 wale wazee ishirini na wanne huanguka mbele zake aketiye kwenye kiti cha enzi na kumwabudu yeye aliye hai milele na milele. Huziweka taji zao mbele ya kiti cha enzi, wakisema: (aiōn g165)
the four and twenty Elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying. (aiōn g165)
11 “Bwana wetu na Mungu wetu, wewe unastahili kupokea utukufu na heshima na uweza, kwa maana ndiwe uliyeviumba vitu vyote, na kwa mapenzi yako viliumbwa na vimekuwako.”
"Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, To receive the glory and the honor and the power; For thou didst create all things, And because of thy will they came into being And were created."
