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 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 Muna yawu thangu, ndizamuka mu pheve. Ayi tala kundu kimosi ki kipfumu kimonika mu diyilu ayi mutu wumosi wuvuanda va kundu beni.
Immediately I was in the Spirit; and look, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne.
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.
And the one who sat there looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.
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.
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 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.
And from the throne came flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven torches of fire burning before the throne, which 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.
Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the midst of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
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, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.
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.
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 Almighty, who was and who is and who 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 when 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 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 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 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 the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created."
