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,
Mu libuku ili muli bintu Lesa mbyalayubulwila Yesu Klistu kwambeti ambile basebenshi bakendi, bintu byela kwinshika ca lino lino. Neco Klistu walatuma mungelo wakendi kuya kwambila Yohane musebenshi wakendi.
2 who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Yohane walamba byonse mbyalabona bilambanga sha mulumbe wa Lesa ne cancinencine ncalayubulwila Yesu Klistu.
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.
Ukute colwe muntu labelengenga maswi abushinshimi ali mu libuku ili, kayi bakute colwe bantu balakutikinga maswi ne kwasunga. Cindi ca kwambeti bintu bitatike kwinshika cilipepi.
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,
Njame Yohane, ndalembelenga mibungano isanu ne ibili ili mu cimpansha ca Asiya. Luse ne lumuno kufuma kuli Lesa uyo walikubapo, ulipo kayi uyo lesanga, bibe ne njamwe. Luse ne lumuno kufuma kumishimu isanu ne ibili ili ku Cipuna ca Bwami bwa Lesa bibe ne njamwe.
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,
Kayi luse ne lumuno kufuma kuli Yesu Klistu, kamboni washomeka bibe ne njamwe. Yesu emutanshi kupunduka kubafu walakoma lufu, endiye lendeleshenga bami ba pacishi capanshi. Walatusuna netulubula ku bwipishi ne milopa yakendi.
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)
Nendi latubiki kuba bami ne beshimilumbo beshikusebensela Lesa, Baishi. Yesu Klistu apewe bulemu ne ngofu lelo ne masuba onse, 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.
Kamubonani, lesanga mumakumbi, uliyense nakamubone, ne bonse balamuyasa. Bantu bonse pacishi capanshi nibakamulile. Neco kacikabani motepelomo. Kamubonani, Yesu lesanga pamo ne makumbi. Bantu bonse nibakamubone, naboyo balikumuyasa nibakamubone. Bantu bamishobo yonse pacishi capanshi nibakalile cebo ca endiye. Ee, ici nicikenshike! Ameni.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty.
Mwami Lesa wa ngofu shonse, uyo walikubako, ulipo kayi uyo lakesanga. Lambangeti, “Ame njame citatiko kayi njame mapwililisho.”
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.
Njame Yohane washoma munenu, tulapengenga cebo ca Yesu Mwami wetu, uyo latupanga ngofu sha kupita mu mapensho. Ndalabikwa pa nsumbu ya Patimo cebo ca kukambauka mulumbe wa Lesa, ne cancinencine ico ncalayubulula Yesu.
10 On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
Pa busuba bwa Mwami, Mushimu Uswepa walamfukata, kayi ndalanyumfwa maswi akompolola kunyuma kwakame, alikunyumfwiketi kulila kwa tolompita.
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.”
Kambeti, “Kolemba mulibuku bintu mbyolabononga, kayi watume ku mibungano isanu ne ibili ku Efenso ku Simuna ku Pegamo ku Tiyatila ku Salidisi ku Filadelufiya ne ku Lawodikeya.”
12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
Mpondalacebuketi mbone walikwamba ne njame, ndalabona pakubika malampi asanu ne abili a golide.
13 and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest.
Pakati pa byakubikapo malampi asa, palikuba naumbi walikuboneketi Mwana Muntu, walikuba wafwala mwinjila utali washika ku myendo kayi walikuba walikobeka cikwisa ca golide pa cali.
14 The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a blazing fire.
Mishishi ya kumutwi wakendi yalikuba tuu eti buluba, nambi eti mapepe ankobokobo, menso akendi alikuboneketi makalangasha a mulilo.
15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters.
Myendo yakendi yalikubeketi cela cilafukutwanga pa muba, kayi maswi akendi alikunyumfwiketi kuwota kwa menshi angi.
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.
Mucikasa cakendi cakululyo, walikuba wekata nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili. Kayi mu mulomo wakendi, mwalafuma cibeshi calumata konse konse. Pa cinso cakendi palikubangileti lisuba lyanga pelu pa mutwi.
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,
Mpondalamulangishisha, ndalawa panshi kumwendo yakendi eti muntu lafu. Neye walabika cikasa cakendi pali njame ne kwambeti, “Kotatina! ame njame citatiko ne mapwililisho.
19 Therefore write down the things you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that will happen after this.
Kolemba bintu mbyolabono, bilenshikinga pa cino cindi kayi ne byeti bikenshike kuntangu.
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.
Lino ndapandululunga bintu mbyowabulanga kwinshiba cena, nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili nshewalabona ku cikasa cakame ca ku lulyo, kayi ne pakubika malampi pasanu ne pabili a golide. Nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili ni batangunishi ba mibungano isanu ne ibili, kayi pakubika malampi pasanu ne pabili a golide ni mibungano isanu ne ibili.”
