Ufunuo 4
1 Baada ya mambo haya nilitazama, nikaona kuwa mlango ulikuwa umefunguliwa mbinguni. Ile sauti ya kwanza, ikizungumza nami kama tarumbeta, ikisema, “Njoo hapa, nitakuonesha yatakayotokea baada ya mambo haya.”
After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven; and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, “Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this.”
2 Mara moja nilikuwa katika Roho, niliona kulikuwa na kiti cha enzi kimewekwa mbinguni, na mtu amekikalia.
Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne
3 Mmoja aliyekuwa amekikalia alionekana kama jiwe la yaspi na akiki. Kulikuwa na upinde wa mvua umekizunguka kiti cha enzi. Upinde wa mvua ulionekana kama zumaridi.
that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.
4 Kukizunguka kiti cha enzi kulikuwa na viti vya enzi vingine ishirini na vinne, na waliokaa kwenye viti vya enzi walikuwa wazee ishirini na wanne, wamevikwa mavazi meupe na taji za dhahabu vichwani mwao.
Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.
5 Kutoka katika kiti cha enzi kulitoka miale ya radi, muungurumo na radi. Taa saba zilikuwa zikiwaka mbele ya kiti cha enzi, taa ambazo ni roho saba za Mungu.
Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 Tena mbele ya kiti cha enzi kulikuwa na bahari, iliyowazi kama kioo. Wote kuzunguka kiti cha enzi kulikuwa na wenye uhai wanne, waliojaa macho mbele na nyuma.
Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the middle of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
7 Kiumbe wa kwanza mwenye uhai alikuwa kama simba, kiumbe wa pili mwenye uhai alikuwa kama ndama, kiumbe wa tatu mwenye uhai alikuwa na uso kama wa mwanadamu, na yule mwenye uhai wa nne alikuwa kama tai apaaye.
The first creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle.
8 Viumbe wenye uhai wanne kila mmoja alikuwa na mabawa sita, wamejaa macho juu na chini yake. Usiku na mchana hawakomi kusema, “Mtakatifu, mtakatifu, mtakatifu ni Bwana Mungu, mtawala juu ya wote, aliyekuwepo, na aliyepo na atakayekuja.”
The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!”
9 Kila wakati viumbe wenye uhai walipotoa utukufu, heshima, na kushukuru mbele za aliyekuwa ameketi kwenye hicho kiti cha enzi, yeye aishiye milele na daima, (aiōn g165)
When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)
10 wazee ishirini na wanne walisujudu wenyewe mbele yake aliyekikalia kiti cha enzi. Waliinama chini kwake aishiye milele na daima na kutupa chini taji zao mbele ya kiti cha enzi wakisema, (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)
11 “Wastahili wewe, Bwana wetu na Mungu wetu, kupokea utukufu na heshima na nguvu. Kwa kuwa uliviumba vitu vyote, na kwa mapenzi yako, vilikuwepo na viliumbwa.”
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honour, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed and were created!”
