< Revelation 10 >
1 Buna ndimona mbasi yinkaka yi lulendo yiba ku diyilu; yikuluka; yivuata matuti, mbumba-luangu yiba va ntuꞌandi; zizi kiandi kilezama banga thangu ayi malu mandi maba banga makunzi ma mbazu.
And I saw another, a mighty messenger, descending out of heaven, —arrayed with a cloud, and, the rainbow, was upon his head, and, his face, was as the sun, and, his feet, were as pillars of fire,
2 Wusimba buku yi fioti mu koko kuandi; buku beni yiba yizibuka. Wutula kulu kuandi ku lubakala va mbu ayi kulu ku lumoso va ntoto.
and [he was] holding in his hand a little scroll, opened; and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the land,
3 Wuyamikina mu mbembo yingolo banga khosi yinkunga. Bu kayamikina, buna tsambuadi di bidumu biwakikisa zimbembo ziawu.
and cried out with a loud voice, just as a lion, roareth. And, when he cried out, the seven thunders uttered their own voices.
4 Tsambuadi di bidumu bu biduma buna ndiedi kasonika vayi ndiwa mbembo yiba ku diyilu, yituba: “Sueka mambu matubidi tsambudi di bidumu; kadi ku masonika”.
And, when the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of heaven, saying—Seal up the things which the seven thunders have uttered, and do not write, them.
5 Buna mbasi yoyi ndimona yitelama va mbu ayi va ntoto, yivumuna koko kuandi ku lubakala ku yilu
And, the messenger, whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the land, lifted up his right hand unto heaven,
6 ayi yileva ndefi, mu mutu wowo widi moyo mu zikhama-zikhama zi mimvu, mutu wowo wuvanga diyilu ayi bima bioso bidi muawu; wuvanga ntotoayi bima bioso bidi muawu, wuvanga mbu ayi bima bioso bidi muawu, ti: —Kusiedi diaka thangu ko. (aiōn )
and sware, by him that liveth unto the ages of ages, who created heaven, and the things that are therein, and the earth, and the things that are therein, [and the sea, and the things that are therein, ] Delay, no longer, shall there be; (aiōn )
7 Mu lumbu kiela wakana mbembo yi mbasi yi tsambuadi; bu kela kubama mu sika tulumbeta, buna yawu yina thangu yela sundukila mansueki ma Nzambi banga bu kasamunina kuidi mimbikudi, bisadi biandi.
but, in the days of the sounding of the seventh messenger, as soon as he is about to blow his trumpet, then shall have been completed the sacred secret of God as he told the good-news unto his own servants the prophets.
8 Buna mbembo yoyi ndiwa, yoyi yiba ku diyilu, yibuela kukhamba ti: —Yenda bongi buku yoyi yi fioti; yidi yizibuka va koko ku mbasi yoyi yitelimini va mbu ayi va ntoto.
And, the voice which I had heard out of heaven, [I] again [heard] talking with me; and saying—Go take the opened scroll, that is in the hand of the messenger who is standing upon the sea and upon the land.
9 Buna ndiyenda kuna kuba mbasi; ndinkamba kaphana buku beni yi fioti. Buna niandi wukhamba: —Bonga yawu ayi dia yawu. Yawu yela ba ndudi dio sokolo mu vumu kiakuvayi, mu munuꞌaku, yela ba lueki banga niosi.
And I went away unto the messenger, asking him to give me the little scroll; and he saith unto me—Take it, and eat it up; and it shall embitter thy belly, but, in thy mouth, shall be sweet as honey.
10 Buna ndibonga buku yi fioti mu koko ku mbasi ayi ndiyidia. Mu munuꞌama yiba lueki banga niosi vayi bu ndimanisa ku yidia, ndudi dio sokolo yifuluka mu vumu kiama.
And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the messenger, and did eat it up; and it was, in my mouth, as honey, sweet, and, when I had eaten it, embittered was my belly.
11 Buna bakhamba: —Fueti buela bikula diaka kuidi batu, kuidi makanda; kuidizimbembo ayi kuidi mintinu miwombo.
And they say unto me—It behoveth thee again to prophesy against peoples and nations and tongues, and many kings.
