< Revelation 1 >
1 Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to shew to his bondmen what must shortly take place; and he signified [it], sending by his angel, to his bondman John,
Kunu ni kuswelulwa kwa Yesu Kristo kunu Nyamuanga amuyaye koleleki abheleshe abhakosi bhaye amisango jinu jili ja bhusi bhusi jibhonekane bhwangu. Agakolele gamenyekane kwo kumutuma malaika waye ku mukosi Yohana.
2 who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all things that he saw.
Yohana asosishe obhubhambasi bhwa bhuli chinu chinu alolele okulubhana no omusango gwa Nyamuanga na ku bhubhambasi bhunu bhwasosibhwe ingulu ya Yesu Kristo.
3 Blessed [is] he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written in it; for the time [is] near.
Ana libhando unu kasoma kwo bhulaka na bhaliya bhona bhanu abhagendelela amasango go bhulagi bhunu no kuchikolela chinu chandikilwemo, kulwa insonga omwanya gweliye.
4 John to the seven assemblies which [are] in Asia: Grace to you and peace from [him] who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits which [are] before his throne;
Yohana, ku makanisa musanju ganu gali Asia: echigongo chibhe kwemwe no mulembe okusoka ku mwene unu alio, unu aliga alio, na unu alija, no kusoka kwe myoyo musanju bhanu bhali imbele ye chitebhe chaye echo bhutungi,
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in his blood,
no kusoka ku Yesu Kristo unu ali mubhambasi mwiikanyibhwa, omwibhulwa wo kwamba wa bhanu bhafuye, no mutungi wa bhakama bha ku Chalo chinu. Ku mwene unu kachenda na achisulumuye okusoka mu bhibhibhi bhyeswe kwa insagama yaye,
6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father: to him [be] the glory and the might to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn )
achikolele kubha bhukama, bhagabhisi bha Nyamuanga ne esemwene ku mwene libhe ekusho na amanaga kajanende kone. Amina. (aiōn )
7 Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen.
Lola, kaja na mele; bhuli liso lilimulola, amwi na bhona bhanu bhamwitile. Na jinganda jona eje chalo ejilila kumwene. Yee, Amina.
8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith [the] Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
“Nanye Alfa na Omega,” Kaika Latabhugenyi Nyamuanga, “Unu alio, na unu aliga alio, na unu kaja, unu ali na manage.”
9 I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience, in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.
Anye, Yohana-owanyu no umwi unu kasangila amwi nemwe mu nyako no bhukama no by mu chimali bhunu bhuli mu Yesu.
10 I became in [the] Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,
nalinga nili kwisinga linu elitongwa Patimo kulwa insonga yo musango gwa Nyamuanga no obhubhambasi okulubhana na Yesu. Naliga nili mu Mwoyo ku lusiku lwa Latabhugenyi. Ninungwa inyuma yani obhukama bhwa ingulu kuti litalumbeta,
11 saying, What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
nibhwaika, “Nuwandike mu chitabho jinu oulola, ujitume ku makanisa musanju, jije Efeso, jije Simurna, jije Pergamo, jije Thiatila, jije Sardi, jije Philadelphia, na jije Laodikia.”
12 And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
Ninikebhukila nilole ni bhukama bhwana bhunu obhwaika nanye, na nejile nekebhukila nindola ingujo ya ijaabhu ili na jitala musanju.
13 and in the midst of the [seven] lamps [one] like [the] Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle:
Agati-gati ya ingujo ya jitala aliga alimo umwi uti Mwana wo munu, afwaye ikanju ndela inu yaliga ikingile ku bhisesegela bhya amagulu gaye, na omuchipi ogwa ijaabhu okwiinda echifubha chaye.
14 his head and hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;
Omutwe gwaye na jinfwili Jaye jaliga jelele uti magafu gamwela uti mabhui ga ing'ubha, na meso gaye galiga uti ebhesi lya mulilo.
15 and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;
Ne bhigele bhyaye bhyaliga uti chuma chinu chikubhilwe muno, kuti chuma chinu chilabhile mu mulilo, no bhulaka bhwaye bhuli lwe chiulumo cha maji mafu ganu agetuluka kwa managa.
16 and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power.
Aliga agwatiliye jinjota musanju mu kubhoko kwaye okwebhulyo, no okusoka mumunwa gwaye lyaliga lilimo lipanga linyamogi gabhili. Obhusu bhwaye bhwaliga ni bhulabhya lwa lisubha kutyo elisekana muno.
17 And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,
Nejile namulola, Ningwa mumagulu gaye lwo munu unu aliga afuye. Natulilako okubhoko kwaye okwebhulyo ingulu yani no kwaika ati, “wasiga kubhaya! Anye ndi wo kwamba no wokumalisha,
18 and the living one: and I became dead, and behold, I am living to the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades. (aiōn , Hadēs )
na unu nilamile. Naliga nafuye, mbe nawe lola, nilamile kajanende! Na nili na jifungulujo ejo lufu na nyombe. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Write therefore what thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to be after these.
Kulwejo, nujandike jinu walolele, jinu jilio woli na jinu jilibhonekana kukila jinu.
20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou hast seen on my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. — The seven stars are angels of the seven assemblies; and the seven lamps are seven assemblies.
Kulwo kubha jinu jiselekele okulubhana na jinjota musanju jinu wabhwene ku kubhoko kwani okwebhulyo, inomyo eya ijaabhu eya tala musanju: Jinjota musanju mbe ni Malaika bha Makanisa galya musanju, na Inomyo ya tala musanju ni galiya makanisa musanju.”
