Revelation 5
1 Buna ndimona, va koko ku lubakala lu mutu wowo wuvuanda va kundu ki kipfumu, buku yisonama mu khati ayi va mbata; yikangama tsambudi di makolo.
I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals.
2 Ndimona diaka mbasi yimosi yi lulendo, yinyamikisa mu mbembo yingolo: —Nani fueni mu nianguna makolo ayi mu zibula buku e?
I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?”
3 Vayi kadi mutu; buba ku diyilu, va ntoto voti ku tsi ntoto, wulenda zibula buku beni ayi wulenda ku yitala.
No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book or to look in it.
4 Buna ndidila ngolo mu diambu kadi mutu wumosi kasia monika ko wufuana mu zibula buku ayi ku yitala.
Then I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look in it.
5 Buna wumosi mu bakulutu wukhamba: —Bika dila; tala khosi yi dikanda di Yuda, muanzi wu Davidi wununga, widi wufuana mu zibula buku ayi nianguna tsambudi di makolo ma buku beni.
One of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome: he who opens the book and its seven seals.”
6 Buna ndimona, va khatitsika kundu ki kipfumu; muana dimemi wutelama, wuzungulu kuidi bivangu biya bimoyo ayi kuidi bakulutu. Wumonika bangawuvondo; wuba tsambudi di ziphoka ayi tsambudi di meso, mansundulatsambudi di ziphevi zi Nzambi zifidusu va ntoto wumvimba.
I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
7 Buna niandi wuyiza ayi wutambula buku mu koko ku lubakala ku mutu wowo wuvuanda va kundu ki kipfumu.
Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
8 Bu kabonga buku, bivangu biya bi moyo ayi makumuadi bakulutu bayabafukama va ntuala muana dimemi. Kadika mutu wuba ayi tsambi ayi zikopo zi nolo ziwala malasi; zinsundula zitsambulu zi banlongo.
Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 Bayimbila nkunga wumona: Ngeyo kaka widi wufuana mu tambula buku ayi mu zibula makolo bila ngeyo wuvondo ayi mu menga maku wukudila di Nzambi, batu ba zimvila zioso, zimbembo zioso batu boso ayi makanda moso.
They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,
10 Ayi ngeyo wuba kitula dikanda di mintinu; banganga Nzambi zinsala mu diambu di Nzambi eto; ayi ziela yadila ntoto.
and made us kings and priests to our God; and we will reign on the earth.”
11 Buna ndimona diaka ayi ndiwa mbembo yi zimbasi ziwombo zizungidila kundu ki kipfumu; bivangu bi moyo ayi bakulutu. Ziba bivevi na bivevi ayi zimili na zimili.
I looked, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. The number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands,
12 Zituba mu mbembo yingolo: Muana dimemi divondo widi wufuana mu tambula lulendo, kimvuama ayi nduenga, zingolo, sanusunu, nkembo ayi nzitusu.
saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!”
14 Bivangu biya bi moyo bivutula: “Amen”. Buna bakulutu bafukama ayi basambila.
The four living creatures said, "Amen!" Then the elders fell down and worshiped.
