< 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,
Uluo lwe lusetulilo lwa Yesu Kilisite luno u Nguluve akam'pelile ulwakuuti kukuvasona avavombi vaake siino silihumila un'siki n'debe ghuno ghu kwisa. Alyavombile sivoneke pavuvalafu akamwomola u nyamola ghwa mwene u m'bombi ghwa mwene u Yohana.
2 Who hath given testimony to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen.
U Yohana alyahumisie uvwolesi vwa fiinu fyoni fino alya fivwene vwimila vwa lisio lya Nguluve nu vwolesi vuno vukahumisivue vwimila Yesu Kilisite.
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.
Afunyilue umwene juno ikwimba ni lisio vooni vala vano vikughapulika amasio gha vuvili uuvu na kuleva kino kilembilue muno, ulwakuva un'siki ghu seghelile.
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,
U Yohana ku ng'ong'ano lekela lubale sino sili ku Asia: ulusungu luvisaghe kulyumue nulutengano kuhuma kwa mwene juno kwale, juno kwa lyale, najuno ilikwisa, na kuhuma ku mhepo lekela lubale sino silikuvulongolo kya mwene ikya vutua,
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,
kuhuma kwa Yesu Kilisite juno ghwe mwolesi umpesie, umolua ghwa kutengula kuvano valya fwile, nu ntemi ghwa ntua mu iisi iji. Kwamwene juno atughanile kange atubikile vwavuke kuhuma mu nyivi siitu kuhuma mu danda jaake,
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 )
atuvikile kuva vatua, vatekesi va Nguluve nu viise ghwa mwene - kwa mwene kuuva vwimike ni ngufu kisila na kusila. Ameni. (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.
Lolagha, ikwisa na mafunde; kila liso likumwagha, palikimo navooni vano valyamomile. Nifisina fyoni ifya mu iisi vilipelepesia kwa mwene. Ena, Ameni.
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.
“U ne nene Alfa kange Omega,” fye ijova u Mutwa u Nguluve, “Umwene juno kwale, najuno kwalyale, nujuno ikwisa, umunyangufu.”
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.
Une, Yohana - nenyalukolo ghwinu nejuno nihasing'ana numue mu mumuko na muvutua na mulugudo ulupesie luno luli mwa yesu; nilyale mu kiponge kino kitambulua Patimo vwimila vwa lisio lya Nguluve nhu vwolesi vwimila u Yesu.
10 I was in the spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Nilyale mwa Mhepo ikighono kya Mutwa. Nilya m'pulike kun'sana kulyune ilisio ilivaha ndavule ulukelema,
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.
jikatisagha, “Lemba mukitabu sino ghukusivona, ughasung'e mu ng'ong'ano lekela lubale, kuluta ku Efeso, kuluta ku Smirna, kuluta ku Pergamo, kuluta ku Thiatira, kuluta ku Sardi, kuluta ku Philadelphia, nakuluta ku Laodikia.”
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks:
Nikasyetuka kulola lisio lyani juno isile kujova nune, nikati nisyetuke nikakyagha ikisonge ikya sahabu nikya tala lekela lubale.
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.
Pakate na kati pa kisonge ikya tala pe alyale jumo umwana ghwa Adamu, afwalile isopeka inali jinojilya dughile musajo sa mwene, nu nkanda ghwa sahabu kusunguta ikifuva kyamwene.
14 And his head and his hairs were white, as white wool, and as snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,
Umutu ghwamwene ni linyele lya mwene lilyale livalafu hwene hamba imbalafu hwene vutine vwa ng'ala, nagha maso gha mwene ghalyale ghimulika hwene lulapi lwa mwoto.
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound of many waters.
Isajo samwene silyale hwene shaba jino vakuuliile kyongo, hwene shaba jino jikilile mu muoto, nali lisio lyamwene lilya hwene lisio lya malenga minga ghano ghiseleleka ni ngufu.
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.
Alyakolelile inondue lekela lubale muluvoko lwa mwene ulwa ndyo, na kuhuma mumulomo ghwa mwene mwe jilyale ibamba inemi imbale sooni. Uvweni vwa mwene vulyale vumulika ndavule ulumuli luno lumulika kyongoo ulya lijuva.
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,
Nilyatile nimwaghile, nikaghua pamaghulu gha mwene hwene muunhu juno afwile. Akavika uluvoko lwamwene lwa ndyo kulyune nakuuti, “Uloghopagha! une nilighavutengulilo nili ghwa vusililo,
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 )
nejuno kwenile. Nilyafwille, lolagha, nikukala kusila kusila! Kange nilinaso ifungulo isa kuvufue na kuvulugu. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Write therefore the things which thou hast seen, and which are, and which must be done hereafter.
Pa uluo, ulembaghe sino usivwene, sino pwili lino, nasino silikwila pa isi.
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.
Kulyune lufisime vwimila inondue lekela lubale sino usivwene kuluvoko lwango lwa ndyo, nikisonge kila ikya sahabu ikya tala lekela lubale: inondue lekela lubale vevanyamola va ng'ong'ano sila lekela lubale, ni kisonge kya tala lekela lubale se iila ing'ong'ano lekela lubale.”
