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,
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 to God’s word and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that 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 keep the things that are 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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 God, “who is and who was and who is to come, 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 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.
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 was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
Su shipindi shimu, lishaka lya Mtuwa, nkolitwi na Rohu, mpikanira kumbeli kwaneni liziwu likulu gambira mbalapi.
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.”
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 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
Su ngalambukiti numuloli ulii yakatakuliti na neni, mona vintambi saba vya vimuliku vya zaabu,
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.
na pakati pakuwi pavintambi kuweriti na shintu gambira muntu, yomberi kaweriti kavala lihabiti litali mpaka mumagulu na lushigi lwa zaabu pashifuwa.
14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
Nvili zyakuwi ziweriti mfufu mbuu, masu gakuwi gang'ereng'etiti gambira mbamba zya motu,
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.
magulu gakuwi gambira shaba yawamerimeziyiti na kuyigulula mulitanuru lya motu, na liziwu lyakuwi gambira mputu.
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.
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 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,
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 Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.
Su vinu gulembi vitwatira avi vyaguviwona, vitwatira vyavilawira vinu na vilii havilawili shakapanu.”
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.
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.
