< 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,
Achichi ni chiunukuko chi Che Yesu Kilisito chiŵapegwile ni Akunnungu kuti ŵalosye ŵakutumichila ŵakwe ichiiwoneche pangakaŵa. Kilisito ŵantumile katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwe ŵamanyisye katumetume jwakwe che Yohana yeleyo.
2 Who hath given testimony to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen.
Nombe che Yohana ŵasasile yose iŵaiweni nkati Liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni umboni u Che Yesu Kilisito.
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.
Akwete upile mundu jwakusyoma maloŵe ga utenga waukulondola, akwete upile ŵakupilikana ni kukamulisya gagalembekwe mwelemu, pakuŵa moŵa gakutyochela indu yi gaŵandichile.
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,
Une che Yohana ngujilembela mipingo saba ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito jajili ku chilambo cha Asia. Umbone uŵe kukwenu ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu jwapali ni juŵapali ni juchaiche, ni kutyochela kwa mbumu saba syasili mmbujo mwa chitengu cha umwenye,
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,
ni kutyochela ku Che Yesu Kilisito. Jwaumboni jwakukulupilichika ni jwaandanda kusyusikwa, ni jwakwatawala mamwenye ŵa pachilambo. Ŵelewo akutunonyela, ni kwa miasi jao atulechelele kutyochela mu kutaŵikwa ni sambi syetu.
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 )
Atutesile tuŵe ŵambopesi mu umwenye kuti twatumichile Akunnungu Atati ŵao. Ku Che Yesu Kilisito upagwe Ukulu ni ukombole moŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (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.
Nnole chaiche mmaunde ni mundu jwali jose chiŵawone. Nombe aŵala ŵaŵansomile ni mpamba, ni ŵandu ŵa ngosyo syose sya pachilambo chalile malilo ligongo lyao. Eloo.
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.
Ambuje Akunnungu jwali ni ukombole wose, jwapali ni juŵapali ni juchaiche akuti, “Une ndili jwaandanda ni jwambesi.”
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.
Uneji che Yohana, mpwenu, jungulumbikana ni ŵanyamwe mmasauko ni mu umwenye wa Akunnungu ni mu upililiu kwa ligongo lya kwakulupilila Che Yesu Kilisito. Une ŵambeleche mu kutaŵikwa chilumba cha ku Patimo kwa ligongo lya kwalalichila ŵandu Liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni kuŵalanga umboni nkati Che Yesu.
10 I was in the spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Pa lyuŵa lya Ambuje Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵanongwesye, ni napilikene liloŵe lyekulungwa mu nyuma jangu mpela kusona kwa lipenga,
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.
lichitiji, “Nnembe mu chitabu chinkuchiwona ni kuchijausya kwa mipingo saba ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, jajili mu misi ja Efeso ni Similina ni Peligamo ni Siatila ni Sadi ni Filadefia ni Laodikia.”
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks:
Nipele nagalawiche naalole ŵelewo ŵakuŵecheta none. Mkugalauka mo, naiweni indu saba yakuŵichila imuli yaikolochekwe ni sahabu,
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.
ni pasikati jakwe indu yakuŵichila imuli paliji ni jumo jwali mpela Mwana jwa Mundu jwawasile mwinjilo weleu ni jwantaŵe mkaanda wa sahabu pantima wakwe.
14 And his head and his hairs were white, as white wool, and as snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,
Umbo syakwe syaliji syeswela mbee ni meeso gakwe ganyesimaga mpela mooto waukukolela.
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound of many waters.
Makongolo gakwe gang'alime mpela shaba jajikundikwe uchenene pa mooto ni liloŵe lyao lyaliji mpela kukukuma kwa meesi.
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.
Nombewo ŵakamulile ndondwa saba kunkono wao wa kundyo, ni mu kang'wa mwakwe mwakopweche lipanga lyenole kosekose ni ngope jao jaliji mpela lyuŵa lyalikuti kung'alima kwa machili gakwe gose.
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,
Noneji panammweni nagwilile pamakongolo gao mpela mundu jwawile. Nombejo ŵasajichile nkono wao wa kundyo achitiji, “Ngasinjogopa, une ni jwaandanda ni jwambesi.
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 )
Sooni ndili jwanjumi, naliji wile, nnole ndili jwanjumi moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Ngwete ukombole wa kwatenda ŵandu awe ni ngwete ukombole wa kwiuto kwa ŵandu ŵawile. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Write therefore the things which thou hast seen, and which are, and which must be done hereafter.
Nipele, nnembe indu inkwiwona ni indu yaipali sambano jino ni indu yachiityochele paujo.
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.
Chantemela cha ndondwa saba simwasiweni ku nkono wangu wa kundyo, ni aila indu saba yakuŵichila imuli yekolochekwe ni sahabu imwaiweni ni chelechi: Asila ndondwa saba sili achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵakwima peuto pa mipingo saba ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Ni indu saba yakuŵichila imuli ili mipingo jisyene saba ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
