Revelation 1
1 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what will happen soon. He sent his angel to reveal it 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 confirmed everything he saw concerning the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Yowani wutelimina mambu moso momo kamona kimbangi; mambu beni mawu mama: mambu ma Nzambi ayi kimbangi ki Yesu Klisto.
3 Anyone who reads this is blessed, as are those who hear these prophetic words and pay attention to what's written, because the time is near.
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 This letter comes from John and is sent to the seven churches in the province of Asia. May you have grace and peace from the one who was, who is, and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits 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 the trustworthy witness, the firstborn from the dead, the ruler of earthly kings. To Jesus who loves us and freed us from our sins by his 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 who made us into his kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to Jesus be glory and authority for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
7 Look, he is coming surrounded by clouds, and everybody shall see him, even those who killed him. All the peoples of the earth will weep because of him. May it be 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 the Beginning and the End,” says the All-powerful Lord God, who was, who is, and who is to come.
Pfumu Nzambi, nkua ngolo yoso, mutu wowo widi, wuba ayi wunkuiza, kakembi: “Minu ndidi Alafa ayi Omega”.
9 I am John, your brother who shares with you in the suffering and in the kingdom and in the patient waiting that are our experience in Jesus. I was detained on the island of Patmos for sharing the word of God and the truth as revealed by 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 filled by the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard a loud voice behind me that sounded like a trumpet.
Minu ndizamunu mu Pheve mu lumbu ki Pfumu ayi ndiwa mbembo yinneni ku manima mama; yawu yiba banga yi tulumbeta.
11 It told me, “Write down in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and 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 I turned round to see who was speaking to me. When I 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 standing among the candlesticks was someone who looked like a Son of man. He was wearing a robe that reached down to his feet with a golden sash across his chest.
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 His hair looked like white wool, and his eyes like flaming 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 His feet looked like polished brass that had been refined in a furnace. His voice sounded like a thundering waterfall.
ayi malu mandi maba banga sengo kibuakusu ku mfulu yi mbazu ayi mbemboꞌandi yiba banga mbembo yi minlangu minneni.
16 He was holding seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword came out of his mouth. His face shone like the sun at its brightest.
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 When I saw him I fell down at his feet as if I were dead. But he touched me with his right hand and said, “Don't be afraid, 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
19 So write down what you've seen—what's happening in the present and what will happen in the future.
Diawu, sonika mambu moso momo mueni ayi mambu momo madi ayi mambu momo mafueti kuiza; mama bu maviokidi.
20 The meaning of the seven stars that you saw me holding in my right hand and the seven golden candlesticks is this: 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.
