< Revelation 1 >
1 The Reuelation of Iesus Christ, which God gaue vnto him, to shewe vnto his seruants things which must shortly be done: which he sent, and shewed by his Angel vnto his seruant Iohn,
iyi i nsinululo ya Jesu keresite iyo Ireeza aba muhi kubonisa ba hikana bakwe chiswanela ku tendahala nambwangu. aba i zibankanisi caku tuma ingeloi lwakwa kumuhikana wakwe Joani.
2 Who bare record of ye word of God, and of the testimonie of Iesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Joani abahi bupaki ku amana ninzwi lya Ireeza mini cabu paki buba hewa kwa amana ni Jesu Kereste, zintu zonse za baboni.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that heare the wordes of this prophecie, and keepe those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Ba tohonolofezwe abo ba bala ca kuhuwa, mi nabo ba teeka kwinzwi lyakwe lya cipolofita, ba kuteka ci! noletwe mwateni, mukuti inako ciyina hafuhi.
4 Iohn, to the seuen Churches which are in Asia, Grace be with you, and peace from him, Which is, and Which was, and Which is to come, and from the seuen Spirits which are before his Throne,
Joani, kwi keleke zikwana iyaza ni zobele mwa Asia; Chishemo chibe nanwe ni nkozo izwa kozo winako, imi abenako, imi iye yosikeza, imi yozwa kwihuho zikwana iyaza nitobele benakumasule achihuna chakwe,
5 And from Iesus Christ, which is that faithful witnes, and that first begotten of the dead, and that Prince of the Kings of the earth, vnto him that loued vs, and washed vs from our sinnes in his blood,
imi kuzwa kwa Jesu Kereste, ipaki isepahala, Iye wetanzi kuzwa kuba fwile, iye mubusi uba simwine ba mwikanda. Kwali iye mwine yotusaka aba tulukululi kuzive kamalaha akwe—
6 And made vs Kings and Priests vnto God euen his Father, to him I say be glory, and dominion for euermore, Amen. (aiōn )
aba tupangi busimwine, buprisita bwabuIreeza imi Shetu- kwali kube nikanya ni maata kuya kusamani. Amen. (aiōn )
7 Beholde, he commeth with cloudes, and euery eye shall see him: yea, euen they which pearced him thorowe: and all kinreds of the earth shall waile before him, Euen so, Amen.
Mubone, ukezite mu makope; meso wonse kamubone, kukopanya nabo baba muhwezoli. Imi yonse mishobo ya munkanda kayisilise chebaka lyakwe. Eni, Amen.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, Which is, and Which was, and Which is to come, euen the Almightie.
Njeme wetanzi ni mamanimani,” kuwamba Simwine Ireeza, “iye wina ko, imi yabena koo, imi yosikeza, wina Inguzu.”
9 I Iohn, euen your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdome and patience of Iesus Christ, was in the yle called Patmos, for the worde of God, and for the witnessing of Iesus Christ.
Ime Joani-mukwaluzubo wenu hape uli yabela nanwe mu manyando nimuso nikulo inde kubena kwa Jesu—nibena muchiwoli chisupwa Patmosi chebaka lyezwi lye Ireeza ni bupaki buamana niJesu.
10 And I was rauished in spirit on the Lordes day, and heard behinde me a great voyce, as it had bene of a trumpet,
Ni bena Muluhuho mwizuba lya Simwine. Ni bazuwi kumasule angu muhuwo mukando sina intolombita.
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, that first and that last: and that which thou seest, write in a booke, and send it vnto the seuen Churches which are in Asia, vnto Ephesus, and vnto Smyrna, and vnto Pergamus, and vnto Thyatira, and vnto Sardis, and vnto Philadelphia, and vnto Laodicea.
Nilyati, “ñole zobwene mumbuka, imi uzitumine kwi kereke zikwana iyanza limwina ni tobele—kwa Maefese, kwa Simina, kwa Pegamumu, kwaTiyatira, kwa Sadisi, Kwa Filadefia, im ni kwa Laodisia.”
12 Then I turned backe to see the voyce, that spake with me: and when I was turned, I sawe seuen golden candlestickes,
Ninachebuka kubona mwine wezwi liwamba kwangu, imi hani chebuka china bona malambi egaunda akwana iyaza nitobele.
13 And in the middes of the seuen candlestickes, one like vnto the Sonne of man, clothed with a garment downe to the feete, and girded about the pappes with a golden girdle.
Hakati kamalambi kubena yoswana sina mwana muntu, nazwete chizabalo chile chisika kumatende, imi ni mbati lizimbulukite chizuva chakwe.
14 His head, and heares were white as white wooll, and as snowe, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,
Mutwi ni suki zakwe zibali kutuba sina boza bwembelele sina kabundu, hape meso akwe sina indimi ya mulilo.
15 And his feete like vnto fine brasse, burning as in a fornace: and his voyce as the sounde of many waters.
Matende akwe aba kubenya sina ibronze, sina ibronze iba hiswa mu mulilo, hape izwi lyakwe liba kuzuweka sina mezi mangi atiya.
16 And he had in his right hand seuen starres: and out of his mouth went a sharpe two edged sword: and his face shone as the sunne shineth in his strength.
Abena ikani zikwana iyaza nitovere kwiyaza lyamalyo, ni chilinga chishengetwe kose chiba kuzwa mu mulomo wakwe. Chi fateho chakwe chiba kubenya sina izuva lihisite.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feete as dead: then he laid his right hand vpon me, saying vnto me, Feare not: I am that first and that last,
Linu hanimubona, chinawila habusu bwamatende akwe sina muntu ufwile. Chakambika iyaza lyabulyo imi nati, “Sanzi usuhi. Njeme wetazi ni wamamaninizo,
18 And am aliue, but I was dead: and beholde, I am aliue for euermore, Amen: and I haue the keyes of hell and of death. (aiōn , Hadēs )
ime yohala. Nibafwile, kono bone, Nihala kuyakusamani! Hape nina chikulukulu chefu ni Hele. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Write the things which thou hast seene, and the things which are, and the things which shall come hereafter.
Chobulyo ñole hansi zobaboni, zinako hanu, ni zetenizihinde chibaka kuzwa kwezi.
20 The misterie of the seuen starres which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seuen golden candlestickes, is this, The seuen starres are the Angels of the seuen Churches: and the seuen candlestickes which thou sawest, are the seuen Churches.
Kwezina ziwungwilwe italuso kuamana nikani zikwana iyaza nizobele zobaboni zina mwiyaza lyangu lyabulyo, ni malambi egaunda akwana iyaza ni wobele. Ikani zikwana iyaza ni tovele nji mangiloi akwana iyaza ni zobele ekereke, imi zikwana iyaza ni zobele malambi akwana iyaza ni wobele nji kereke zikwana iyaza ni zobele,”
