Revelation 4
1 Mambu momo bu mavioka, buna ndimona ayi tala muelo wumosi wuzibuka mu diyilu; ayi mbembo yi theti ndiwa yiba banga yi tulumbeta yikhamba: —Kuma vava ayi ndieka kumonisa mambu momo mafueti kuiza; mama bu maviokidi.
After this I looked and saw a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had previously heard speak to me like a trumpet was saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.”
2 Muna yawu thangu, ndizamuka mu pheve. Ayi tala kundu kimosi ki kipfumu kimonika mu diyilu ayi mutu wumosi wuvuanda va kundu beni.
At once I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne standing in heaven, with someone seated on it.
3 Mutu wowo wuvuanda vana, mu kuntala, wudedakana banga ditadi diodi bantedilanga “Yasipe” ayi di “Saliduani”. Mbumba-luangu yizungidila kundu beni ki kipfumu. Mu kuyitala, yawu yidedakana banga ditadi di emelode.
The One seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and a rainbow that gleamed like an emerald encircled the throne.
4 Makumuadi bikundu biya bizungidila kundu ki kipfumu; muawu mu vuanda makumuadi bakulutu baya, bavuata minledi miphembi ayi bavuata ziphu zi nolo mu mintu miawu.
Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on these thrones sat twenty-four elders dressed in white, with golden crowns on their heads.
5 Mu kundu ki kipfumu mu totuka zitsiemo, zimbembo ayi bidumu. Va ntuala kundu ki kipfumu vaba tsambudi di minda miba lema; miawuminsundula tsambudi di ziphevi zi Nzambi.
From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder. Before the throne burned seven torches of fire. These are the seven Spirits of God.
6 Va ntuala kundu ki kipfumu vaba banga mbu widi dio kienzele, wudedikini banga ditadi bantedilanga “Klisitali”. Va khatitsika kundu ayi mu yenda kundu mutelama bivangu biya bimoyo biwala meso ku ntuala ayi ku manima.
And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and back.
7 Vangu kitheti kidedakana banga khosi; kimmuadi kidedakana banga muana ngombi wu mbakala; vangu kintatu zizi kiandi kiba banga ki mutu; bosi vangu ki nya kidedikini banga mbemba yindumuka.
The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.
8 Kadika vangu mu bivang biya bimoyo kiba ayi mavavi masambanu mawala meso ku nganda ayi ku khati. Bivonganga ko, builu ayi muini, mu tuba: Pfumu Nzambi nkua ngolo yoso widi wunlongo, wunlongo, wunlongo. Niandi wuba, widi ayi wunkuiza.
And each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”
9 Kadika thangu bivangu bimoyo bu bimvana nkembo, nzitusu ayi bimvutudilanga matondo, mutu wowo vuendi va kundu ki kipfumu, mutu wowo widi moyo mu zikhama-zikhama zi mimvu (aiōn g165)
And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the One seated on the throne who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)
10 buna makumuadi bakulutu baya bamfukamanga va ntuala mutu wowovuendi va kundu ki kipfumu ayi bansambilanga mutu wowo widi moyo mu zikhama-zikhama zi mimvu. Bantulanga ziphu ziawu va ntuala kundu, (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four elders fall down before the One seated on the throne, and they worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying: (aiōn g165)
11 bantubanga: A Pfumu eto ayi Nzambi eto, ngeyo fueni mu tambula nkembo, nzitusu ayi lulendo bila ngeyo wuvanga bima bioso
“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist and came to be.”
