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,
Chakazarurwa chaJesu Kristu, Mwari chaakapa kwaari, kuti aratidze kuvaranda vake zvinhu zvinofanira kukurumidza kuitika, zvino azvituma nemutumwa wake wakaratidza muranda wake Johwani,
2 Who bare record of ye word of God, and of the testimonie of Iesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
iye wakapupura shoko raMwari uye uchapupu hwaJesu Kristu, nezvese zvaakaona.
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.
Wakaropafadzwa anoverenga, nevanonzwa mashoko echiporofita ichi vachichengeta zvakanyorwa machiri; nokuti nguva yava pedo.
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,
Johwani kumakereke manomwe ari muAsia: Nyasha kwamuri nerugare zvinobva kuna iye aripo uye wakange aripo neachazouya; nekuMweya minomwe iri pamberi pechigaro chake cheushe;
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,
nekuna Jesu Kristu, chapupu chakatendeka, dangwe kubva kune vakafa, nemutungamiriri wemadzimambo enyika. Kuna iye wakatida, akatisuka kubva pazvivi zvedu muropa rake;
6 And made vs Kings and Priests vnto God euen his Father, to him I say be glory, and dominion for euermore, Amen. (aiōn g165)
akatiitawo madzimambo nevapristi kuna Mwari naBaba vake; kwaari ngakuve kubwinya nesimba kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
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.
Tarira, anouya pamwe nemakore, uye ziso rese richamuona, neavo vakamubaya; nemarudzi ese enyika achachema nekuda kwake. Hongu. Ameni.
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.
Ini ndini Arifa naOmega, Kutanga neKupedzisira, anoreva Ishe, aripo, newakange aripo, neachazouya, Wemasimbaose.
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.
Ini Johwani, ndiri hama yenyuwo, uye mufambidzani pakutambudzika nemuushe nekutsungirira kwaJesu Kristu, ndakange ndiri pachiwi chinonzi Patimosi, nekuda kweshoko raMwari uye nekuda kweuchapupu hwaJesu Kristu.
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,
Ndakange ndiri muMweya nezuva raIshe, zvino ndakanzwa shure kwangu inzwi guru, serehwamanda,
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.
richiti: Ndini Arifa naOmega, Wekutanga neWekupedzisira; uye kuti: Zvaunoona, nyora mubhuku, uye tumira kumakereke manomwe ari muAsia, kuEfeso, nekuSimirina, nekuPerigamo, nekuTiatira, nekuSaridhisi, nekuFiradhefia, nekuRaodhikia.
12 Then I turned backe to see the voyce, that spake with me: and when I was turned, I sawe seuen golden candlestickes,
Zvino ndikatendeuka kuona inzwi rakataura neni. Ndatendeukawo ndakaona zvigadziko zvemwenje zvegoridhe zvinomwe,
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.
nepakati pezvigadziko zvemwenje zvinomwe, mumwe wakaita seMwanakomana wemunhu, akapfeka nguvo yakasvikira kutsoka, uye akazvisunga kupoteredza chifuva nebhanhire regoridhe.
14 His head, and heares were white as white wooll, and as snowe, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,
Nemusoro wake nemavhudzi zvakachena semakushe emakwai machena, semagada echando; uye meso ake semurazvo wemoto;
15 And his feete like vnto fine brasse, burning as in a fornace: and his voyce as the sounde of many waters.
uye tsoka dzake dzakafanana nendarira yakakwenenzverwa, sedzinenge dzakapiswa muvira remoto; neinzwi rake seinzwi remvura zhinji.
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.
Uye wakange ane muruoko rwake rwerudyi nyeredzi nomwe; zvino mumuromo make makabuda munondo unopinza unocheka mativi maviri; uye chiso chake chaiva sezuva rinopenya musimba raro.
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,
Zvino pandakamuona, ndakawira patsoka dzake sewakafa; ndokuisa ruoko rwake rwerudyi pamusoro pangu, achiti kwandiri: Usatya; ndini wekutanga newekupedzisira;
19 Write the things which thou hast seene, and the things which are, and the things which shall come hereafter.
Nyora zvawaona, nezvinhu zviripo, nezvinhu zvichazovapo shure kweizvi.
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.
Chakavanzika chenyeredzi nomwe dzawaona paruoko rwangu rwerudyi, nezvigadziko zvemwenje zvinomwe zvegoridhe. Nyeredzi nomwe ndivo vatumwa vekereke nomwe; nezvigadziko zvemwenje zvinomwe zvawaona ndidzo kereke nomwe.
