Revelation 1
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave him to show his bondmen what must happen quickly. And he signified it, having sent by his agent to his bondman John
Achichi ni chiunukuko chi Che Yesu Kilisito chiŵapegwile ni Akunnungu kuti ŵalosye ŵakutumichila ŵakwe ichiiwoneche pangakaŵa. Kilisito ŵantumile katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwe ŵamanyisye katumetume jwakwe che Yohana yeleyo.
2 who testified the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as he saw.
Nombe che Yohana ŵasasile yose iŵaiweni nkati Liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni umboni u Che Yesu Kilisito.
3 Blessed is he who reads, and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and who keep the things written in it, for the time is near.
Akwete upile mundu jwakusyoma maloŵe ga utenga waukulondola, akwete upile ŵakupilikana ni kukamulisya gagalembekwe mwelemu, pakuŵa moŵa gakutyochela indu yi gaŵandichile.
4 John, to the seven congregations in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is coming, and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne,
Une che Yohana ngujilembela mipingo saba ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito jajili ku chilambo cha Asia. Umbone uŵe kukwenu ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu jwapali ni juŵapali ni juchaiche, ni kutyochela kwa mbumu saba syasili mmbujo mwa chitengu cha umwenye,
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and washed us from our sins by his blood
ni kutyochela ku Che Yesu Kilisito. Jwaumboni jwakukulupilichika ni jwaandanda kusyusikwa, ni jwakwatawala mamwenye ŵa pachilambo. Ŵelewo akutunonyela, ni kwa miasi jao atulechelele kutyochela mu kutaŵikwa ni sambi syetu.
6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him is the glory and the dominion into the ages of the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)
Atutesile tuŵe ŵambopesi mu umwenye kuti twatumichile Akunnungu Atati ŵao. Ku Che Yesu Kilisito upagwe Ukulu ni ukombole moŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he comes with the clouds and every eye will see him, even the men who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth will wail against him. Yea, Truly.
Nnole chaiche mmaunde ni mundu jwali jose chiŵawone. Nombe aŵala ŵaŵansomile ni mpamba, ni ŵandu ŵa ngosyo syose sya pachilambo chalile malilo ligongo lyao. Eloo.
8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord, the God who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.
Ambuje Akunnungu jwali ni ukombole wose, jwapali ni juŵapali ni juchaiche akuti, “Une ndili jwaandanda ni jwambesi.”
9 I John, your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance in Christ Jesus, happened to be on the isle that is called Patmos because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Uneji che Yohana, mpwenu, jungulumbikana ni ŵanyamwe mmasauko ni mu umwenye wa Akunnungu ni mu upililiu kwa ligongo lya kwakulupilila Che Yesu Kilisito. Une ŵambeleche mu kutaŵikwa chilumba cha ku Patimo kwa ligongo lya kwalalichila ŵandu Liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni kuŵalanga umboni nkati Che Yesu.
10 I became in spirit on the Lord's day and I heard behind me a great voice like a trumpet
Pa lyuŵa lya Ambuje Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵanongwesye, ni napilikene liloŵe lyekulungwa mu nyuma jangu mpela kusona kwa lipenga,
11 saying, What thou see, write in a book and send to the seven congregations: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
lichitiji, “Nnembe mu chitabu chinkuchiwona ni kuchijausya kwa mipingo saba ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, jajili mu misi ja Efeso ni Similina ni Peligamo ni Siatila ni Sadi ni Filadefia ni Laodikia.”
12 And I turned there to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands.
Nipele nagalawiche naalole ŵelewo ŵakuŵecheta none. Mkugalauka mo, naiweni indu saba yakuŵichila imuli yaikolochekwe ni sahabu,
13 And in the midst of the seven lampstands, resembling a son of man, he who was clothed down to the foot, and girded about with a golden belt at the breasts.
ni pasikati jakwe indu yakuŵichila imuli paliji ni jumo jwali mpela Mwana jwa Mundu jwawasile mwinjilo weleu ni jwantaŵe mkaanda wa sahabu pantima wakwe.
14 And his head and hair were white as wool, white as snow, and his eyes as a flame of fire,
Umbo syakwe syaliji syeswela mbee ni meeso gakwe ganyesimaga mpela mooto waukukolela.
15 and his feet resembling highly refined metal, as in a furnace having been fiery hot, and his voice as the sound of many waters,
Makongolo gakwe gang'alime mpela shaba jajikundikwe uchenene pa mooto ni liloŵe lyao lyaliji mpela kukukuma kwa meesi.
16 and having in his right hand seven stars, and a sharp two-edged sword coming out of his mouth. And the sight of him was as the sun shines in its strength.
Nombewo ŵakamulile ndondwa saba kunkono wao wa kundyo, ni mu kang'wa mwakwe mwakopweche lipanga lyenole kosekose ni ngope jao jaliji mpela lyuŵa lyalikuti kung'alima kwa machili gakwe gose.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not, I am the first and the last,
Noneji panammweni nagwilile pamakongolo gao mpela mundu jwawile. Nombejo ŵasajichile nkono wao wa kundyo achitiji, “Ngasinjogopa, une ni jwaandanda ni jwambesi.
19 Therefore write the things that thou saw, and things that are, and things that are going to happen after these things.
Nipele, nnembe indu inkwiwona ni indu yaipali sambano jino ni indu yachiityochele paujo.
20 The mystery of the seven stars that thou saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are agents of the seven congregations, and the seven lampstands that thou saw are the seven congregations.
Chantemela cha ndondwa saba simwasiweni ku nkono wangu wa kundyo, ni aila indu saba yakuŵichila imuli yekolochekwe ni sahabu imwaiweni ni chelechi: Asila ndondwa saba sili achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵakwima peuto pa mipingo saba ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Ni indu saba yakuŵichila imuli ili mipingo jisyene saba ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
