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 all this I looked and saw a door in Heaven standing open, and the voice that I had previously heard, which resembled the blast of a trumpet, again spoke to me and said, "Come up here, and I will show you things which are to happen in the future."
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 found myself in the Spirit, and saw a throne in Heaven, and some 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.
The appearance of Him who sat there was like jasper or sard; and encircling the throne was a rainbow, in appearance like an emerald.
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 there were also twenty-four other thrones, on which sat twenty-four Elders clothed in white robes, with victors' wreaths of gold upon 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.
Out from the throne there came flashes of lightning, and voices, and peals of thunder, while in front of the throne seven blazing lamps were burning, 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.
And in front of the throne there seemed to be a sea of glass, resembling crystal. And midway between the throne and the Elders, and surrounding the throne, were four living creatures, full of eyes in front 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 resembled a lion, the second an ox, the third had a face like that of a man, and the fourth resembled an eagle flying.
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 in every direction, and within, are full of eyes; and day after day, and night after night, they never cease saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, the Ruler of all, who wast and art and evermore shalt be."
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 and honor and thanks to Him who is seated on the throne, and lives until the Ages of the Ages, (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 until the Ages of the Ages, and they cast their wreaths down in front of the throne, (aiōn g165)
11 bantubanga: A Pfumu eto ayi Nzambi eto, ngeyo fueni mu tambula nkembo, nzitusu ayi lulendo bila ngeyo wuvanga bima bioso
saying, "It is fitting, O our Lord and God, That we should ascribe unto Thee the glory and the honor and the power; For Thou didst create all things, And because it was Thy will they came into existence, and were created."
