< 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,
Tsongolo yi Yesu Klisto yimvana Nzambi mu monisa mambu mafueti kuiza nsualu kuidi bisadi biandi. Niandi wuzabikisa mawu bu kafidisa mbasi andi kuidi kisadi kiandi Yowani.
2 who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Yowani wutelimina mambu moso momo kamona kimbangi; mambu beni mawu mama: mambu ma Nzambi ayi kimbangi ki Yesu Klisto.
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.
Khini yiwombo yidi kuidi woso wuntanganga ayi kuidi bobo beti wa mambu ma mbikudulu yoyi ayi bankebanga mambu momo masonama muawu bila thangu yifikimini.
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,
Yowani, fidisidi mboti kuidi tsambudi di mabundu madi mu Azi: bika nlemvo ayi ndembama, bibanga yeno, bibedi kuidi mutu wowo widi, wuba ayi wunkuiza ayi bibedi kuidi tsambudi di ziphevi zidi va ntuala kundu kiandi ki kipfumu.
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,
Bibedi diaka kuidi Yesu Klisto, mbangi yi kuikama, wutheti mu fuluka mu bafua ayi nyadi yi mintinu mi ntoto. Kuidi mutu wowo wukutuzolanga ayi wutukula mu masumu meto mu menga mandi,
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)
wutukitula batu ba kipfumu, banganga Nzambi mu diambu di Nzambi andi ayi Dise diandi, kuba nkembo ayi zingolo mu zikhama zi khama zi mimvu! Amen. (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.
Tala wulembo yizi mu matuti ayi batu boso bela kummona ayi bobo kutu bantobula dionga ayi makanda moso madi va ntoto bela nionga mu diambu diandi. Nyinga, Amen!
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty.
Pfumu Nzambi, nkua ngolo yoso, mutu wowo widi, wuba ayi wunkuiza, kakembi: “Minu ndidi Alafa ayi Omega”.
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.
Minu, Yowani, khombꞌeno ayi wumfubakana yeno va kimosi mu ziphasi, mu kipfumu, mu mvibudulu mu Yesu; minu ndiba va sanga kioki beti tedila Patimosi mu diambu di mambu ma Nzambi ayi mu diambu di kimbangi ki Yesu Klisto.
10 On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
Minu ndizamunu mu Pheve mu lumbu ki Pfumu ayi ndiwa mbembo yinneni ku manima mama; yawu yiba banga yi tulumbeta.
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.”
Yawu yituba: —Mambu wulembo moni, sonika mawu mu buku yimosi ayi fidisa yawu kuidi tsambudi di mabundu mama: ku Efeso, ku Similini, ku Pelingami, ku Tiatile, ku Salide, ku Filadelifi ayi ku Lawodise.
12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
Ayi ndibaluka mu diambu di tala mutu wowo wuba ku ndiolukila. Bu ndibaluka, buna ndimona tsambudi di bima biobi beti tetika minda, biba bi nolo.
13 and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest.
Va khatitsika di tsambudi di bima biobi beti tetika minda vaba mutu wumosi wudedakana banga Muana Mutu. Mutu beni wuvuata dizuela dimula ditula nate mu malu ayi wuvuata sentila yi nolo va thulu.
14 The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a blazing fire.
Ntu andi ayi zitsuki ziandi biba biphembi banga mika miphembi mi dimemi biba banga mvula yi phembi; meso mandi maba banga minlaki mi mbazu
15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters.
ayi malu mandi maba banga sengo kibuakusu ku mfulu yi mbazu ayi mbemboꞌandi yiba banga mbembo yi minlangu minneni.
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.
Wusimba mu koko kuandi ku lubakala tsambudi di zimbuetete. Mu munuꞌandi mutotukila sabala kisekoso bumboti, kiba meno mu zindambu zizole ayi zizi kiandi kiba banga thangu yinlezama mu zingolo ziandi zioso.
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,
Bu ndimmona, ndibua va malu mandi, ndiba banga wufua, buna niandi wutula koko kuandi ku lubakala va minu ayi wukhamba: —Bika mona tsisi. Minu wutheti ayi wutsuka
18 the Living One. I was dead, and behold, now I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of Death and of Hades. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
ayi widi moyo. Minu ndiba wufua ayi tala ndinzinga mu zikhama zikhama zi mimvu. Minu tsimbidi zitsabi zi lufua ayi zi tsi yi bafua. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
19 Therefore write down the things you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that will happen after this.
Diawu, sonika mambu moso momo mueni ayi mambu momo madi ayi mambu momo mafueti kuiza; mama bu maviokidi.
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.
Tsundu yi mansueki ma tsambudi di zimbuetete ziozi mueni mu koko kuama ku lubakala ayi tsambudi di bima biobi beti tetika minda, biobi biba bi nolo yawu yayi: tsambudi di zimbuetete yinsundula zimbasi zi tsambudi di mabundu bosi tsambudi di bima biobi beti tetika minda yinsundula tsambudi di mabundu.
