< Revelation 1 >

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to make known to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass: and signified, sending by his angel to his servant 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 hath given testimony to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen.
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 readeth and heareth the words of this prophecy; and keepeth those things which are written in it; for the time is at hand.
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 churches which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace from him that is, and that was, and that 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, who is the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own 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 hath made us a kingdom, and priests to God and his Father, to him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
achikolele kubha bhukama, bhagabhisi bha Nyamuanga ne esemwene ku mwene libhe ekusho na amanaga kajanende kone. Amina. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also that pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth shall bewail themselves because of him. Even so. 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 Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord God, 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 your partner in tribulation, and in the kingdom, and patience in Christ Jesus, was in the island, which is 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 was in the spirit on the Lord’s day, and 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 churches which are in Asia, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, 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 to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks:
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 golden candlesticks, one like to the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girt about the paps 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 And his head and his hairs were white, as white wool, and as snow, and his eyes were 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 unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound 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 he had in his right hand seven stars. And from his mouth came out a sharp two edged sword: and his face was as the sun shineth in his 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 had seen 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 alive, and was dead, and behold I am living for ever and ever, and have the keys of death and of hell. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
na unu nilamile. Naliga nafuye, mbe nawe lola, nilamile kajanende! Na nili na jifungulujo ejo lufu na nyombe. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
19 Write therefore the things which thou hast seen, and which are, and which must be done hereafter.
Kulwejo, nujandike jinu walolele, jinu jilio woli na jinu jilibhonekana kukila jinu.
20 The mystery of the seven stars, which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches. And the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.
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.”
