Revelation 4

1 After this I loked and beholde a dore was open in heven and the fyrste voyce which I harde was as it were of a trompet talkinge with me which said: come vp hydder and I will shewe the thynges which must be fulfyllyd hereafter

Baada ya hayo nilitazama nikaona mlango umefunguliwa mbinguni. Na ile sauti niliyoisikia pale awali ambayo ilikuwa kama sauti ya tarumbeta, ikasema, “Njoo hapa juu nami nitakuonyesha mambo yatakayotukia baadaye.”

2 And immediatly I was in the sprete: and beholde a seate was put in heven and one sate on the seate.

Mara nikachukuliwa na Roho. Kumbe, huko mbinguni kuna kiti cha enzi na juu yake ameketi mmoja.

3 And he that sat was to loke apo like vnto a iaspar stone and a sardyne stone: And there was a rayne bowe aboute the seate in syght lyke to an Emeralde.

Huyo aliyeketi juu yake alikuwa kama almasi na jiwe zuri jekundu. Upinde wa mvua ulikuwa unang'aa kama zumaridi na ulikizunguka kiti cha enzi pande zote.

4 And aboute the seate were. xxiiii. seates. And upon the seates. xxiiii. elders syttinge clothed in whyte rayment and had on their heddes crounes of gold.

Kulikuwa na duara la viti ishirini na vinne kukizunguka kiti cha enzi, na juu ya viti hivyo wazee ishirini na wanne walikuwa wameketi wamevaa mavazi meupe na taji za dhahabu vichwani.

5 And out of the seate proceded lightnynges and thundrynges and voyces and there wer vii. lampes of fyre burninge before ye seate which are the vii. sprettes of God.

Umeme, sauti na ngurumo, vilikuwa vinatoka kwenye hicho kiti cha enzi. Taa saba za moto zilikuwa zinawaka mbele ya hicho kiti cha enzi. Taa hizo ni roho saba za Mungu.

6 And before the seate there was a see of glasse lyke vnto cristall and in the myddes of the seate and rounde aboute the seate were iiii. bestes full of eyes before and behynde.

Mbele ya kiti cha enzi kulikuwa na kitu kama bahari ya kioo, angavu kama jiwe linga'aalo sana. Katika pande zote za hicho kiti cha enzi na kukizunguka, kilikuwa na viumbe hai vinne. Viumbe hivyo vilikuwa vimejaa macho mbele na nyuma.

7 And the fyrste best was lyke a lion the seconde best lyke a calfe and ye thyrde beste had a face as a man and the fourthe beste was like a flyinge egle.

Kiumbe cha kwanza kulikuwa kama simba, cha pili kama ng'ombe, cha tatu kilikuwa na sura kama mtu, na cha nne kilikuwa kama tai anayeruka.

8 And the iiii. bestes had eche one of them vi. wynges aboute him and they were full of eyes with in. And they had noo reste daye nether nyght sayinge: holy holy holy lorde god almyghty which was and is and is to come.

Viumbe hivyo vinne vilikuwa na mabawa sita kila kimoja, na vilikuwa vimejaa macho, ndani na nje. Usiku na mchana, bila kupumzika huimba: “Mtakatifu, mtakatifu, mtakatifu ni Bwana, Mungu Mwenye Uwezo, aliyekuwako, aliyeko na anayekuja!”

9 And when those beestes gave glory and honour and thankes to him that sat on the seate which lyveth for ever and ever: (aiōn g165)

Kila mara viumbe vinne vilipoimba nyimbo za kumtukuza, kumheshimu na kumshukuru huyo aliyeketi juu ya kiti cha enzi, ambaye anaishi milele na milele, (aiōn g165)

10 the xxiiii. elders fell doune before him that sat on the trone and worshipped him that lyveth for ever and caste their crounes before the trone sayinge: (aiōn g165)

wale wazee ishirini na wanne hujiangusha mbele ya huyo aliyeketi juu ya kiti cha enzi na kumwabudu huyo ambaye anaishi milele na milele; na huziweka taji zao mbele ya kiti cha enzi wakisema: (aiōn g165)

11 thou arte worthy lorde to receave glory and honoure and power for thou haste created all thinges and for thy wylles sake they are and were created.

“Wewe ni Bwana na Mungu wetu, unastahili utukufu na heshima na nguvu; maana wewe uliumba vitu vyote, na kwa matakwa yako kila kitu kimepewa uhai na uzima.”
