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
Awu ndo ugubutulu wa Yesu Kristu, Mlungu kamupananiti kawalanguziyi wantumintumi wakuwi vitwatira vilii vifiruwa kulawira pakwegera. Kristu kavitenditi avi vimaniki kwa kumtuma ntumintumi gwakuwi gwa kumpindi kamgambiziyi ntumintumi gwakuwi Yohani vitwatira avi,
2 who testified the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as he saw.
na Yohani kalongiti goseri gakagawoniti. Na avi ndo visoweru vya Mlungu na ukapitawu wa Yesu Kristu.
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.
Mbaka yakuwi muntu yakashibetula shintola ashi shashiwera na Visoweru vya umbuyi wa Mlungu na mbaka yawu yawapikanira na kukola yagalembitwi amu, toziya shipindi sha vitwatira avi shapakwegera.
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,
Neni Yohani nuvilembiriti vipinga saba vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu vya aku Asiya. Nuwapanana manemu na ponga kulawa kwa yomberi yakaweriti, yakawera na yakiza na kulawa kwa rohu saba yawawera palongolu pa shibanta shakuwi sha ukulu,
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
na kulawa kwa Yesu Kristu kapitawu mwaminika, mwiwuku gwa kwanja gwa woseri hawiwuki kwa ukomu wa syayi kulaa kwawahowiti na yomberi ndo mkolamlima gwa wafalumi wa pasipanu. Yomberi katufira na kwa mwazi gwakuwi katuyopola kulawa ntawaliru ya vidoda vyetu,
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)
na katunyawa tuweri ufalumi na watambika wakumtendera Mlungu Tati gwakuwi. Kwakuwi Yesu Kristu uweri ukwisa na makakala, mashaka goseri! Yina hangu. (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.
Guloli! Kankwiza mumawundi! Kila lisu halimwoni na ata walii yawamtoboliti. Makabila goseri pasipanu hagagutangi kwajili ya yomberi. Yina! Yina hangu.
8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord, the God who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.
“Neni ndo gwa kwanja na gwa upeleru wa vitwatira vyoseri.” Kalonga Mtuwa Mlungu yakawera na makakala goseri, yakawera, yakaweriti na yakiza.
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.
Neni Yohani, mlongu gwenu mungati mwa Yesu, kwa kulikonaziya pamuhera na Yesu, ntenda pamuhera na mwenga kutabika na ufalumi wakuwi na uhepelera. Neni ntulitwi pakati pashisiwa shawashema Patimu panwera mtatilwa toziya ya kubwera Shisoweru sha Mlungu na upitawulira wa Yesu.
10 I became in spirit on the Lord's day and I heard behind me a great voice like a trumpet
Su shipindi shimu, lishaka lya Mtuwa, nkolitwi na Rohu, mpikanira kumbeli kwaneni liziwu likulu gambira mbalapi.
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.
Nalyeni lilongiti, “Gugalembi mushintola galii gagugawona, gushijegi kwa vipinga avi saba vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu kwa Efesu na kwa Simurina na kwa Perigamu na kwa Tuatira na kwa Saridi na kwa Filadefiya pamuhera na Laudikiya.”
12 And I turned there to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands.
Su ngalambukiti numuloli ulii yakatakuliti na neni, mona vintambi saba vya vimuliku vya zaabu,
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.
na pakati pakuwi pavintambi kuweriti na shintu gambira muntu, yomberi kaweriti kavala lihabiti litali mpaka mumagulu na lushigi lwa zaabu pashifuwa.
14 And his head and hair were white as wool, white as snow, and his eyes as a flame of fire,
Nvili zyakuwi ziweriti mfufu mbuu, masu gakuwi gang'ereng'etiti gambira mbamba zya motu,
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,
magulu gakuwi gambira shaba yawamerimeziyiti na kuyigulula mulitanuru lya motu, na liziwu lyakuwi gambira mputu.
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.
Muliwoku lyakuwi lya kumliwu paweriti na ntondu saba na mumlomu mwakuwi mlawiriti upanga yawuwera na makola kuwili. Sheni shakuwi shing'ereng'eta gambira mshenji gukalipa nentu.
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,
Su panumwoniti hera, nguwiti palongolu pa magulu gakuwi gambira mawuti. Kumbiti yomberi katula liwoku lyakuwi lya kumliwu pampindi paneni, kalonga, “Guleki kutira! Neni ndo gwa kwanja na gwa upeleru.
19 Therefore write the things that thou saw, and things that are, and things that are going to happen after these things.
Su vinu gulembi vitwatira avi vyaguviwona, vitwatira vyavilawira vinu na vilii havilawili shakapanu.”
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.
Bada zya ntondu saba zilii zyaguziwoniti pakati pa liwoku lyaneni lya kumliwu na vilii vintambi saba vya vimuliku vya zaabu, ndo wantumintumi wa kumpindi wa vipinga saba vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu.
