Revelation 1
1 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, 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 to God’s word and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that 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 keep the things that are 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 assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who 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 he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to him be the glory and the dominion for the ages (aiōn g165) of the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.
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 is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
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 God, “who is and who was and who is to come, 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 partner with you in the oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God’s Word and 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 was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud 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 you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, 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 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
Nipele nagalawiche naalole ŵelewo ŵakuŵecheta none. Mkugalauka mo, naiweni indu saba yakuŵichila imuli yaikolochekwe ni sahabu,
13 And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
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 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
Umbo syakwe syaliji syeswela mbee ni meeso gakwe ganyesimaga mpela mooto waukukolela.
15 His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
Makongolo gakwe gang'alime mpela shaba jajikundikwe uchenene pa mooto ni liloŵe lyao lyaliji mpela kukukuma kwa meesi.
16 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
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 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid. 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 Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.
Nipele, nnembe indu inkwiwona ni indu yaipali sambano jino ni indu yachiityochele paujo.
20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.
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.
