Ufunuo 5
1 Kisha nikaona katika mkono wake wa kuume wa yule aliyeketi kwenye kile kiti cha enzi, kitabu kilichoandikwa ndani na upande wa nje, kikiwa kimefungwa kwa lakiri saba.
Καὶ εἶδον ἐπὶ τὴν δεξιὰν τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου βιβλίον γεγραμμένον ἔσωθεν καὶ ὄπισθεν, κατεσφραγισμένον σφραγῖσιν ἑπτά.
2 Nami nikamwona malaika mwenye nguvu akitangaza kwa sauti kuu, akisema, “Ni nani anayestahili kuzivunja hizo lakiri na kukifungua kitabu?”
καὶ εἶδον ἄγγελον ἰσχυρὸν κηρύσσοντα ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, Τίς ἄξιος ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον, καὶ λῦσαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ;
3 Lakini hapakuwa na yeyote mbinguni wala duniani au chini ya dunia aliyeweza kukifungua hicho kitabu wala hata kutazama ndani yake.
καὶ οὐδεὶς ἠδύνατο ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, οὐδὲ ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς, ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό.
4 Nikalia sana sana kwa sababu hakuonekana yeyote anayestahili kukifungua hicho kitabu wala kutazama ndani yake.
καὶ [ἐγὼ] ἔκλαιον πολύ, ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἄξιος εὑρέθη ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό.
5 Kisha, mmoja wa wale wazee akaniambia, “Usilie! Tazama, Simba wa kabila la Yuda, wa Uzao wa Daudi, ameshinda. Yeye ndiye anayeweza kukifungua hicho kitabu na kuvunja hizo lakiri zake saba.”
καὶ εἷς ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων λέγει μοι, Μὴ κλαῖε· ἰδοὺ ἐνίκησεν ὁ λέων ὁ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα, ἡ ῥίζα Δαυείδ, ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον, καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ.
6 Ndipo nikaona katikati ya kile kiti cha enzi na wale viumbe wenye uhai wanne na miongoni mwa wale wazee, Mwana-Kondoo amesimama, akiwa kama amechinjwa. Alikuwa na pembe saba na macho saba, ambazo ndizo zile Roho saba za Mungu zilizotumwa duniani pote.
καὶ εἶδον, ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων, καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, ἀρνίον ἑστηκὼς ὡς ἐσφαγμένον, ἔχων κέρατα ἑπτὰ καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἑπτά, οἵ εἰσιν τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ ἀπεσταλμένοι εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
7 Huyo Mwana-Kondoo akaja na kukitwaa kile kitabu kutoka kwenye mkono wa kuume wa yule aliyeketi kwenye kile kiti cha enzi.
καὶ ἦλθεν, καὶ εἴληφεν ἐκ τῆς δεξιᾶς τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου.
8 Alipokwisha kukitwaa kile kitabu, wale viumbe wenye uhai wanne pamoja na wale wazee ishirini na wanne wakaanguka mbele ya yule Mwana-Kondoo. Kila mmoja wao alikuwa na kinubi, nao walikuwa wameshika mabakuli ya dhahabu yaliyojaa uvumba, ambayo ni maombi ya watakatifu.
καὶ ὅτε ἔλαβεν τὸ βιβλίον, τὰ τέσσερα ζῷα καὶ οἱ εἰκοσιτέσσαρες πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἀρνίου, ἔχοντες ἕκαστος κιθάραν, καὶ φιάλας χρυσέας γεμούσας θυμιαμάτων, αἵ εἰσιν αἱ προσευχαὶ τῶν ἁγίων·
9 Nao wakaimba wimbo mpya, wakisema: “Wewe unastahili kukitwaa kitabu na kuzivunja lakiri zake, kwa sababu ulichinjwa na kwa damu yako ukamnunulia Mungu watu kutoka kila kabila, kila lugha, kila jamaa na kila taifa.
καὶ ᾄδουσιν ᾠδὴν καινὴν λέγοντες, Ἄξιος εἶ λαβεῖν τὸ βιβλίον, καὶ ἀνοῖξαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ· ὅτι ἐσφάγης καὶ ἠγόρασας τῷ θεῷ ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου, ἐκ πάσης φυλῆς καὶ γλώσσης καὶ λαοῦ καὶ ἔθνους,
10 Wewe umewafanya hawa wawe ufalme na makuhani wa kumtumikia Mungu wetu, nao watatawala duniani.”
καὶ ἐποίησας αὐτοὺς τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν βασιλείαν καὶ ἱερεῖς· καὶ βασιλεύουσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
11 Kisha nikatazama, nikasikia sauti za malaika wengi wakiwa wamekizunguka kile kiti cha enzi, pamoja na wale viumbe wenye uhai wanne na wale wazee ishirini na wanne. Idadi yao ilikuwa kumi elfu mara kumi elfu na maelfu ya maelfu.
καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἤκουσα φωνὴν ἀγγέλων πολλῶν κύκλῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν ζῴων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων· καὶ ἦν ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν μυριάδες μυριάδων καὶ χιλιάδες χιλιάδων,
12 Nao waliimba kwa sauti kuu, wakisema: “Anastahili Mwana-Kondoo, yeye aliyechinjwa, kupokea uweza na utajiri na hekima na nguvu na heshima na utukufu na sifa!”
λέγοντες φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, Ἄξιόν ἐστιν τὸ ἀρνίον τὸ ἐσφαγμένον λαβεῖν τὴν δύναμιν καὶ πλοῦτον καὶ σοφίαν καὶ ἰσχὺν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν καὶ εὐλογίαν.
13 Kisha nikasikia kila kiumbe mbinguni na duniani, chini ya nchi na baharini na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake vikiimba: “Sifa na heshima na utukufu na uweza ni vyake yeye aketiye juu ya hicho kiti cha enzi na kwa Mwana-Kondoo, milele na milele!” (aiōn g165)
καὶ πᾶν κτίσμα ὃ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς πάντα, ἤκουσα λέγοντας, Τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῷ ἀρνίῳ ἡ εὐλογία καὶ ἡ τιμὴ καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. (aiōn g165)
14 Wale viumbe wenye uhai wanne wakasema, “Amen!” Nao wale wazee ishirini na wanne wakaanguka kifudifudi wakaabudu.
καὶ τὰ τέσσερα ζῷα ἔλεγον, Ἀμήν· καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν, καὶ προσεκύνησαν.
