Revelation 1
1 This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John,
Eechi nchiyunuzyo cha Jesu Kkilisito eecho Leza nchakamupa kuti atondeezye balanda bakwe zintu zizochika chakufwambaana, wakazibisya makani aaya watuma angelo kumulanda wakwe Joni.
2 who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Joni wakalungulula makani aa Leza abukamboni bwa Jesu Kkilisito, azintu zyoonse nzyakabona.
3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and obey what is written in it, because the time is near.
Uli aacholwe uubala businsimi oobu ajwi pati abaabo balemeka zilembedwe mulimbubo, nkaambo chiindi chaba aafwiifwi.
4 John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him who is and was and is to come, and from the seven Spirits before His throne,
Joni, kumbungano zili musanu azibili zili mu Eziya: Luzyalo ngalube kuli ndinywe aluumuno luzwa kuli yooyo uliwo, lwakaliwo ooyo uuza, akuzwa kumyuuya ili musanu ayibili iimikila kuchuuno chakwe,
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood,
akuzwa kuli Jesu Kkilisito, ooyo ulinguwe kamboni wakasimpe, mwana mutaanzi kuzwa kubafu, mpawo kali mweendelezi wabami baansi. Kulinguwe ooyo utuyanda watugwisya kuzwa muzibi zyesu abulowa bwakwe -
6 who has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen. (aiōn g165)
wakatuchita kuba ba Pulisita babwami, bawisi Leza wakwe a wisikuli nguwe kube bulemu a nguzu mane kukabe kutamani. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him—even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.
Ngamulange, ulaza amayoba; meso woonse azoomubona kubikilizya aamwi abaabo bakamuyasa. Misyobo yamunyika izoolila nkaambo kanguwe. Iiyi, Ameni.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty.
“Ndime Alufa a Omega,” mbaamba Mwami Leza, ngunguwe uliwo, wakaliwo, ngunguwe uuza, Singuzu zyoonse.”
9 I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance that are in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and my testimony about Jesus.
Ime, nindaba Joni, monyoko unookwaabilana andinywe mukupenzegwa amubwami, amumoyo mulamfu zili muli Jesu - ndakali aa kasuwa kategwa Patimosi nkaambo kajwi lya Leza abukamboni bwa Mwami Jesu.
10 On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
Ndakali mumuuya mubuzuba bwa Mwami. Ndakamvwa jwi pati kusule lyangu lili mbuli mweembo.
11 saying, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
Lyakat, “Lemba nzwaabona mubbuku, mpawo uziotumizye kumbungano zili musanui azibili - ku Efeso, ku Similina, ku Pegamumu, ku Siyatila, ku Sadisi, ku Filadelufuya aku Lawodesiya.”
12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
Ndakacheba kuti ndibone kuti ngwani unukwambuula aandime, lino nindakacheba ndakabona zibikilo zyamampi zyangolida zilimusanu azibili.
13 and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest.
Aakati kazikilo eezi zyamalampi zyamalampi kwali umwi wakali mbuli mwana wamuntu kasamide dembo damfu lyakalikusika kumawulu aakwe amwiingwa nkwa wangolida kuzyungulukide kaango kakwe.
14 The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a blazing fire.
Mutwe wakwe amasusu aakwe aakali kutuba mbuli buluba- kuta mbuli sikunku ameso aakwe akali mbuli mulilo.
15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters.
Mawulu aakwe aakali mbuli nsimbi yananikwa, mbuli nsimbi yasunkwa mumvuto yamulilo, ajwi lyakwe lyakali mbuli kuvuuma kwameenda mayingi.
16 He held in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
Wakalijisi nyenyezi zili musanu azibili kuluboko lwakwe lwalulyo. Mumulomo wakwe mwakazwa panga libosya koonse koonse. Busyu bwakwe bwakali kumweka mbuli zuba libalisya loko.
17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He placed His right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,
Nindakamubona ndakawida ndakawida kumawulu aakwe mbuli muntu mufwide. Wakabika luboko lwakwe lwalulyo aalindime mpawo wakati, “Utayoowi. Ndime matalikilo amamanino
19 Therefore write down the things you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that will happen after this.
Nkikaako lemba ansi nzwaabona, chiliwo lino achizoochitika kuzwa aawa.
20 This is the mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
Bupanduluzi busisikene bwaamba nyenyezi zili musanu azibili nzwaabona muluboko lwangu lwalulyo, azibikilo zyangolida zili musanu azibili: Nyenyezi zili musanu azibili mbaangelo bambungano zili musanu azibili alazyo zibikilo zyamalampi zili musanu azibil, ni mbungano zili musanu azibili.”
