“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 (G)N’obafuula obwakabaka ne bakabona ba Katonda okumuweerezanga,
era be balifuga ensi.”
11 (H)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 (I)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 (J)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,
Emirembe n’emirembe.”
14 (K)Ebiramu ebina ne biddamu nti, “Amiina.” N’abakadde ne bavuunama ne bamusinza.
Revelation 5
New King James Version
The Lamb Takes the Scroll
5 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne (A)a scroll written inside and on the back, (B)sealed with seven seals. 2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, (C)“Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.
4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open [a]and read the scroll, or to look at it. 5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, (D)the Lion of the tribe of (E)Judah, (F)the Root of David, has (G)prevailed to open the scroll (H)and [b]to loose its seven seals.”
6 And I looked, [c]and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood (I)a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and (J)seven eyes, which are (K)the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand (L)of Him who sat on the throne.
Worthy Is the Lamb
8 Now when He had taken the scroll, (M)the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the (N)prayers of the saints. 9 And (O)they sang a new song, saying:
(P)“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And (Q)have redeemed us to God (R)by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made [d]us (S)kings[e] and (T)priests to our God;
And [f]we shall reign on the earth.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And (U)every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
(V)“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him (W)who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and [g]ever!”
14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the [h]twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped [i]Him who lives forever and ever.
