Revelation 5

1 I saw the one sitting on the throne holding a scroll in his right hand. The scroll was written on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.

Awo ne ndaba omuzingo gw’ekitabo mu mukono ogwa ddyo ogw’Oyo eyali atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka, nga guwandiikiddwamu munda ne kungulu era nga guteekeddwako obubonero bw’envumbo musanvu.

2 I saw a powerful angel shouting in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”

Ne ndaba malayika ow’amaanyi ng’ayogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ng’abuuza nti, “Ani asaanidde okubembulula obubonero obusibiddwa ku muzingo gw’ekitabo guno alyoke aguzingulule?”

3 Nobody in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth was able to open the scroll and read it.

Ne wataba n’omu mu ggulu newaakubadde ku nsi, wadde wansi w’ensi, eyayinza okugwanjuluza wadde okugutunulamu.

4 I cried many tears because nobody could be found who was worthy to open the book and read it.

Awo ne nkaaba amaziga mangi, kubanga tewaalabikawo n’omu eyasaanira okwanjuluza omuzingo newaakubadde okugutunulamu.

5 One of the elders spoke to me and said, “Don't cry. Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the descendant of David, has won the battle and can open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Awo omu ku bakadde abiri mu abana n’aŋŋamba nti, “Lekeraawo okukaaba, kubanga, laba, empologoma ey’omu kika kya Yuda, ow’omu lulyo lwa Dawudi, yawangula, era y’ayinza okukutula obubonero omusanvu obw’envumbo n’okuzingulula omuzingo gw’ekitabo.”

6 I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been killed standing in the center by the throne and the four living creatures, among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes that are the seven Spirits of God that are sent out to all the earth.

Ne ndaba nga ali ng’Omwana gw’Endiga ng’attiddwa ng’ayimiridde wakati w’entebe ey’obwakabaka n’ebiramu ebina, ne wakati w’abakadde, ng’alina amayembe musanvu n’amaaso musanvu, gy’emyoyo omusanvu egya Katonda, egitumibwa mu buli kitundu eky’ensi.

7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of the one that sat on the throne.

N’asembera n’aggya omuzingo gw’ekitabo mu mukono ogwa ddyo ogw’Oyo eyali atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka.

8 When he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the believers.

Bwe yagukwata, ebiramu ebina n’abakadde amakumi abiri mu abana, ne bagwa mu maaso g’Omwana gw’Endiga ne bavuunama, buli omu ng’alina ennanga era ng’akutte ekibya ekya zaabu, ekyali kijjudde obubaane obwakaloosa nga butegeeza okusaba kw’abantu abatukuvu.

9 They sang a new song, “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, for you were slain and with your blood you redeemed for God people from every tribe, language, people, and nation.

Baali bamuyimbira oluyimba oluggya nti, “Ggw’osaanidde okutoola omuzingo gw’ekitabo, n’okusumulula ebigusibye n’okuguzingulula, kubanga wattibwa, omusaayi gwo ne gununula abantu ba Katonda okubaggya mu buli kika, na buli lulimi, na buli ggwanga, na buli nsi.

10 You made them into a kingdom and priests for our God, and they will reign on the earth.”

N’obafuula obwakabaka ne bakabona ba Katonda okumuweerezanga, era be balifuga ensi.”

11 As I looked I heard the voices of millions of angels around the throne, together with the living creatures and the elders,

Awo ne ndaba era ne mpulira eddoboozi lya bamalayika enkumi n’enkumi, n’enkuyanja nga beetoolodde entebe ey’obwakabaka awamu n’ebiramu biri n’abakadde bali.

12 shouting loudly together: “The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive authority, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing.”

Ne boogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Omwana gw’Endiga eyattibwa, asaanidde okuweebwa obuyinza, n’obugagga, n’amagezi n’amaanyi, n’ekitiibwa, n’ettendo n’okwebazibwa!”

13 Then I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, in the sea—every creature everywhere—replying: “To the one who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be blessing, honor, glory, and authority, for ever and ever.” (aiōn g165)

Ne ndyoka mpulira buli kitonde kyonna mu ggulu ne ku nsi ne wansi w’ensi ne mu nnyanja ne byonna ebigirimu nga bitendereza nti, “Okutenderezebwa, n’ettendo, n’ekitiibwa, n’amaanyi by’Oyo atudde ku ntebe y’obwakabaka awamu n’Omwana gw’Endiga, (aiōn g165)

14 The four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

Ebiramu ebina ne biddamu nti, “Amiina.” N’abakadde ne bavuunama ne bamusinza.
