< 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,
Tsongolo yi Yesu Klisto yimvana Nzambi mu monisa mambu mafueti kuiza nsualu kuidi bisadi biandi. Niandi wuzabikisa mawu bu kafidisa mbasi andi kuidi kisadi kiandi Yowani.
2 Who hath given testimony to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen.
Yowani wutelimina mambu moso momo kamona kimbangi; mambu beni mawu mama: mambu ma Nzambi ayi kimbangi ki Yesu Klisto.
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.
Khini yiwombo yidi kuidi woso wuntanganga ayi kuidi bobo beti wa mambu ma mbikudulu yoyi ayi bankebanga mambu momo masonama muawu bila thangu yifikimini.
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,
Yowani, fidisidi mboti kuidi tsambudi di mabundu madi mu Azi: bika nlemvo ayi ndembama, bibanga yeno, bibedi kuidi mutu wowo widi, wuba ayi wunkuiza ayi bibedi kuidi tsambudi di ziphevi zidi va ntuala kundu kiandi ki kipfumu.
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,
Bibedi diaka kuidi Yesu Klisto, mbangi yi kuikama, wutheti mu fuluka mu bafua ayi nyadi yi mintinu mi ntoto. Kuidi mutu wowo wukutuzolanga ayi wutukula mu masumu meto mu menga mandi,
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 )
wutukitula batu ba kipfumu, banganga Nzambi mu diambu di Nzambi andi ayi Dise diandi, kuba nkembo ayi zingolo mu zikhama zi khama zi mimvu! Amen. (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.
Tala wulembo yizi mu matuti ayi batu boso bela kummona ayi bobo kutu bantobula dionga ayi makanda moso madi va ntoto bela nionga mu diambu diandi. Nyinga, Amen!
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.
Pfumu Nzambi, nkua ngolo yoso, mutu wowo widi, wuba ayi wunkuiza, kakembi: “Minu ndidi Alafa ayi Omega”.
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.
Minu, Yowani, khombꞌeno ayi wumfubakana yeno va kimosi mu ziphasi, mu kipfumu, mu mvibudulu mu Yesu; minu ndiba va sanga kioki beti tedila Patimosi mu diambu di mambu ma Nzambi ayi mu diambu di kimbangi ki Yesu Klisto.
10 I was in the spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Minu ndizamunu mu Pheve mu lumbu ki Pfumu ayi ndiwa mbembo yinneni ku manima mama; yawu yiba banga yi tulumbeta.
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.
Yawu yituba: —Mambu wulembo moni, sonika mawu mu buku yimosi ayi fidisa yawu kuidi tsambudi di mabundu mama: ku Efeso, ku Similini, ku Pelingami, ku Tiatile, ku Salide, ku Filadelifi ayi ku Lawodise.
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks:
Ayi ndibaluka mu diambu di tala mutu wowo wuba ku ndiolukila. Bu ndibaluka, buna ndimona tsambudi di bima biobi beti tetika minda, biba bi nolo.
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.
Va khatitsika di tsambudi di bima biobi beti tetika minda vaba mutu wumosi wudedakana banga Muana Mutu. Mutu beni wuvuata dizuela dimula ditula nate mu malu ayi wuvuata sentila yi nolo va thulu.
14 And his head and his hairs were white, as white wool, and as snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,
Ntu andi ayi zitsuki ziandi biba biphembi banga mika miphembi mi dimemi biba banga mvula yi phembi; meso mandi maba banga minlaki mi mbazu
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound of many waters.
ayi malu mandi maba banga sengo kibuakusu ku mfulu yi mbazu ayi mbemboꞌandi yiba banga mbembo yi minlangu minneni.
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.
Wusimba mu koko kuandi ku lubakala tsambudi di zimbuetete. Mu munuꞌandi mutotukila sabala kisekoso bumboti, kiba meno mu zindambu zizole ayi zizi kiandi kiba banga thangu yinlezama mu zingolo ziandi zioso.
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,
Bu ndimmona, ndibua va malu mandi, ndiba banga wufua, buna niandi wutula koko kuandi ku lubakala va minu ayi wukhamba: —Bika mona tsisi. Minu wutheti ayi wutsuka
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 )
ayi widi moyo. Minu ndiba wufua ayi tala ndinzinga mu zikhama zikhama zi mimvu. Minu tsimbidi zitsabi zi lufua ayi zi tsi yi bafua. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Write therefore the things which thou hast seen, and which are, and which must be done hereafter.
Diawu, sonika mambu moso momo mueni ayi mambu momo madi ayi mambu momo mafueti kuiza; mama bu maviokidi.
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.
Tsundu yi mansueki ma tsambudi di zimbuetete ziozi mueni mu koko kuama ku lubakala ayi tsambudi di bima biobi beti tetika minda, biobi biba bi nolo yawu yayi: tsambudi di zimbuetete yinsundula zimbasi zi tsambudi di mabundu bosi tsambudi di bima biobi beti tetika minda yinsundula tsambudi di mabundu.
