< 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,
Wenuwu ndi ugubukulo wa Yesu Kilisitu weapewili na Chapanga muni avalangisa vatumisi vaki, mambu gegihumila papipi. Kilisitu amtumili mtumu waki wa kunani kwa Chapanga ammanyisa muhengaji waki Yohani mambu ago.
2 Who hath given testimony to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen.
Mwene Yohani alolili kuvala ujumbi wa Chapanga na ndava ya Lilovi la Chapanga, na uchakaka wewajoviwi na Yesu Kilisitu.
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.
Amotisiwi yula mweisoma malovi ga ulota wa Chapanga na kuyuwana na kugalanda gala gegayandikwi muchitabu ichi, muni lukumbi lwa kuhumila mambu ago luvi papipi.
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,
Nene Yohani nikuvayandikila misambi saba ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va mulima wa Asia. Nikuvaganila ubwina na uteke kuhuma kwa Chapanga mweavili na mweavi na mweibwela, na kuhuma kwa mipungu saba palongolo ya chigoda chaki cha magono goha gangali mwishu,
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,
na kuhuma kwa Yesu Kilisitu. Mwene ndi mwetijova ndava yaki msadikika na ndi wa kutumbula mweayukiswi kuhuma kwa vevafwili, mewawa mwene ndi Nkosi wa vankosi va pamulima. Mwene akutigana na kwa ngasi yaki atilekekisi hulu mabudilu gitu.
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 )
Atihengili tete tavankosi na vamteta va Chapanga muni tihengela Chapanga, muni vavalongosa vandu va milima yoha, Dadi waki. Kwaki Yesu Kilisitu uvya ukulu na makakala, magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (aiōn )
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! Mwene ibwela mumahundi! Kila mundu yati akumlola, hati vala vevambowili kwa mgoha. Na ndava yaki vandu voha pamulima yati vivembeneka ndava yaki! Ena.
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.
Ijova Bambu Chapanga, mweavi na uhotola woha, mweavili na mweavi na mweibwela, “Nene ndi Mtumbula na wamwishu wa vindu vyoha.”
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.
Nene Yohani mlongo winu nihanganila na nyenye mumaing'aiso na muunkosi wa Chapanga na mukusindimala ndava ya kumsadika Yesu Kilisitu. Nene napelikwi kuchifungu pachisiwa cha Patimo ndava navakokosili vandu Lilovi la Chapanga na kudandaula mambu ga Yesu.
10 I was in the spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Muligono la Bambu mukulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi, nayuwini lwami luvaha mumbele yangu, lwami ngati lipenenga.
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.
Yajovili, “Yandikayi muchitabu gala geukugalola, kangi uchipeleka kwa misambi saba ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu pamiji ya ku Efeso na Simulina na Peliganoni na Tuatila na Salide na Fidalefia pamonga na Laodikea.”
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks:
Hinu, nanga'anamwiki muni nilola mweijova na nene. Ndi penang'anamwiki, nawene vibokoselu saba vya kuvikila hahi za zahabu,
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.
na pagati yaki namuwene mmonga mweavi ngati mundu, awalili ligwanda litali na mkungi wa zahabu panganga yaki.
14 And his head and his hairs were white, as white wool, and as snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,
Mayunju gaki gavi gamsopi pehe, mihu gaki gang'asimi ngati motu wewiyaka,
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound of many waters.
magendelu gaki ngati shaba yeying'asima na yeyinyambiswi bwina mumotu, na lwami lwaki lwavi ngati mbulumo lwa manji gegihelela.
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.
Muchiwoko chaki cha kulyela avi na ndondo saba, na mumlomo waki mwahumili upanga weutema pandi zoha. Pamihu paki gang'asimi ngati lilanga leliyaka neju.
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,
Lukumbi, panakamuwene ndu, nagwili palongolo ya magendelu gaki ngati mundu mweafwili. Nambu mwene akapamisa chiwoko chaki cha kulyela panani yangu, akajova, ukotoka kuyogopa! Nene ndi wa kutumbula na mwishu wa vindu vyoha.
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 , Hadēs )
Nene ndi mwenivi mumi! Nafwili, nambu, lola hinu ndi namumi magono goha gangali mwishu. Nivii na uhotola wa lifwa na mulima wa vandu vevafwili. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Write therefore the things which thou hast seen, and which are, and which must be done hereafter.
Hinu yandika mambu aga geukugawona, mambu gegihumila hinu na gala gegihumila mwanakandahi.
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.
Wenuwu ndi mfiyu wa ndondo zila saba zeuziwene muchiwoko changu cha kulyela na vila vindu saba vya zahabu: Zila ndondo saba ndi vamitumu pa misambi saba ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu, na vibokoselu vila saba, ndi misambi yene saba ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
