Revelation 1
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave him so that his servants might have knowledge of the things which will quickly take place: and he sent and made it clear by his angel to his servant John;
iyi i nsinululo ya Jesu keresite iyo Ireeza aba muhi kubonisa ba hikana bakwe chiswanela ku tendahala nambwangu. aba i zibankanisi caku tuma ingeloi lwakwa kumuhikana wakwe Joani.
2 Who gave witness of the word of God, and of the witness of Jesus Christ, even of all the things which he saw.
Joani abahi bupaki ku amana ninzwi lya Ireeza mini cabu paki buba hewa kwa amana ni Jesu Kereste, zintu zonse za baboni.
3 A blessing be on the reader, and on those who give ear to the prophet's words, and keep the things which he has put in the book: for the time is near.
Ba tohonolofezwe abo ba bala ca kuhuwa, mi nabo ba teeka kwinzwi lyakwe lya cipolofita, ba kuteka ci! noletwe mwateni, mukuti inako ciyina hafuhi.
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and was and is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his high seat;
Joani, kwi keleke zikwana iyaza ni zobele mwa Asia; Chishemo chibe nanwe ni nkozo izwa kozo winako, imi abenako, imi iye yosikeza, imi yozwa kwihuho zikwana iyaza nitobele benakumasule achihuna chakwe,
5 And from Jesus Christ, the true witness, the first to come back from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who had love for us and has made us clean from our sins by his blood;
imi kuzwa kwa Jesu Kereste, ipaki isepahala, Iye wetanzi kuzwa kuba fwile, iye mubusi uba simwine ba mwikanda. Kwali iye mwine yotusaka aba tulukululi kuzive kamalaha akwe—
6 And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to his God and Father; to him let glory and power be given for ever and ever. So be it. (aiōn g165)
aba tupangi busimwine, buprisita bwabuIreeza imi Shetu- kwali kube nikanya ni maata kuya kusamani. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 See, he comes with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and those by whom he was wounded; and all the tribes of the earth will be sorrowing because of him. Yes, so be it.
Mubone, ukezite mu makope; meso wonse kamubone, kukopanya nabo baba muhwezoli. Imi yonse mishobo ya munkanda kayisilise chebaka lyakwe. Eni, Amen.
8 I am the First and the Last, says the Lord God who is and was and is to come, the Ruler of all.
Njeme wetanzi ni mamanimani,” kuwamba Simwine Ireeza, “iye wina ko, imi yabena koo, imi yosikeza, wina Inguzu.”
9 I, John, your brother, who have a part with you in the trouble and the kingdom and the quiet strength of Jesus, was in the island which is named Patmos, for the word of God and the witness of Jesus.
Ime Joani-mukwaluzubo wenu hape uli yabela nanwe mu manyando nimuso nikulo inde kubena kwa Jesu—nibena muchiwoli chisupwa Patmosi chebaka lyezwi lye Ireeza ni bupaki buamana niJesu.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and a great voice at my back, as of a horn, came to my ears,
Ni bena Muluhuho mwizuba lya Simwine. Ni bazuwi kumasule angu muhuwo mukando sina intolombita.
11 Saying, What you see, put in a book, and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamos and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.
Nilyati, “ñole zobwene mumbuka, imi uzitumine kwi kereke zikwana iyanza limwina ni tobele—kwa Maefese, kwa Simina, kwa Pegamumu, kwaTiyatira, kwa Sadisi, Kwa Filadefia, im ni kwa Laodisia.”
12 And turning to see the voice which said these words to me, I saw seven gold vessels with lights burning in them;
Ninachebuka kubona mwine wezwi liwamba kwangu, imi hani chebuka china bona malambi egaunda akwana iyaza nitobele.
13 And in the middle of them one like a son of man, clothed with a robe down to his feet, and with a band of gold round his breasts.
Hakati kamalambi kubena yoswana sina mwana muntu, nazwete chizabalo chile chisika kumatende, imi ni mbati lizimbulukite chizuva chakwe.
14 And his head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Mutwi ni suki zakwe zibali kutuba sina boza bwembelele sina kabundu, hape meso akwe sina indimi ya mulilo.
15 And his feet like polished brass, as if it had been burned in a fire; and his voice was as the sound of great waters.
Matende akwe aba kubenya sina ibronze, sina ibronze iba hiswa mu mulilo, hape izwi lyakwe liba kuzuweka sina mezi mangi atiya.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword: and his face was like the sun shining in its strength.
Abena ikani zikwana iyaza nitovere kwiyaza lyamalyo, ni chilinga chishengetwe kose chiba kuzwa mu mulomo wakwe. Chi fateho chakwe chiba kubenya sina izuva lihisite.
17 And when I saw him, I went down on my face at his feet as one dead. And he put his right hand on me, saying, Have no fear; I am the first and the last and the Living one;
Linu hanimubona, chinawila habusu bwamatende akwe sina muntu ufwile. Chakambika iyaza lyabulyo imi nati, “Sanzi usuhi. Njeme wetazi ni wamamaninizo,
19 Put in writing, then, the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will be after these;
Chobulyo ñole hansi zobaboni, zinako hanu, ni zetenizihinde chibaka kuzwa kwezi.
20 The secret of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold vessels with burning lights. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lights are the seven churches.
Kwezina ziwungwilwe italuso kuamana nikani zikwana iyaza nizobele zobaboni zina mwiyaza lyangu lyabulyo, ni malambi egaunda akwana iyaza ni wobele. Ikani zikwana iyaza ni tovele nji mangiloi akwana iyaza ni zobele ekereke, imi zikwana iyaza ni zobele malambi akwana iyaza ni wobele nji kereke zikwana iyaza ni zobele,”
