Revelation 1
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show unto his servants the thing which it behooves speedily to come to pass; and he signified having sent by his angel to his servant John;
Eechi nchiyunuzyo cha Jesu Kkilisito eecho Leza nchakamupa kuti atondeezye balanda bakwe zintu zizochika chakufwambaana, wakazibisya makani aaya watuma angelo kumulanda wakwe Joni.
2 who witnessed the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as to so many things as he saw.
Joni wakalungulula makani aa Leza abukamboni bwa Jesu Kkilisito, azintu zyoonse nzyakabona.
3 Blessed is the one reading, and those hearing the word of the prophecy, and keeping the things which have been written in it: for the time is at hand.
Uli aacholwe uubala businsimi oobu ajwi pati abaabo balemeka zilembedwe mulimbubo, nkaambo chiindi chaba aafwiifwi.
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from the one who is, and who was, and who is coming; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
Joni, kumbungano zili musanu azibili zili mu Eziya: Luzyalo ngalube kuli ndinywe aluumuno luzwa kuli yooyo uliwo, lwakaliwo ooyo uuza, akuzwa kumyuuya ili musanu ayibili iimikila kuchuuno chakwe,
5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstbegotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To the one loving us with divine love, and having washed us from our sins in His own blood,
akuzwa kuli Jesu Kkilisito, ooyo ulinguwe kamboni wakasimpe, mwana mutaanzi kuzwa kubafu, mpawo kali mweendelezi wabami baansi. Kulinguwe ooyo utuyanda watugwisya kuzwa muzibi zyesu abulowa bwakwe -
6 and He made us a kingdom, priests unto God even his Father; to him be glory and dominion unto the ages of the ages; amen. (aiōn g165)
wakatuchita kuba ba Pulisita babwami, bawisi Leza wakwe a wisikuli nguwe kube bulemu a nguzu mane kukabe kutamani. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he is coming with clouds; and every eye shall behold him, even those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will wail at him; yes, Amen.
Ngamulange, ulaza amayoba; meso woonse azoomubona kubikilizya aamwi abaabo bakamuyasa. Misyobo yamunyika izoolila nkaambo kanguwe. Iiyi, Ameni.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was, and who is coming, the Almighty.
“Ndime Alufa a Omega,” mbaamba Mwami Leza, ngunguwe uliwo, wakaliwo, ngunguwe uuza, Singuzu zyoonse.”
9 I John, your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and in patience in Jesus, was in the island which is called Patmos, on account of the word of God, and on account of the testimony of Jesus.
Ime, nindaba Joni, monyoko unookwaabilana andinywe mukupenzegwa amubwami, amumoyo mulamfu zili muli Jesu - ndakali aa kasuwa kategwa Patimosi nkaambo kajwi lya Leza abukamboni bwa Mwami Jesu.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet
Ndakali mumuuya mubuzuba bwa Mwami. Ndakamvwa jwi pati kusule lyangu lili mbuli mweembo.
11 saying, Write what you are seeing in a book, and send it to the seven churches; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
Lyakat, “Lemba nzwaabona mubbuku, mpawo uziotumizye kumbungano zili musanui azibili - ku Efeso, ku Similina, ku Pegamumu, ku Siyatila, ku Sadisi, ku Filadelufuya aku Lawodesiya.”
12 And I turned to see the voice which was speaking with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Ndakacheba kuti ndibone kuti ngwani unukwambuula aandime, lino nindakacheba ndakabona zibikilo zyamampi zyangolida zilimusanu azibili.
13 and in the midst of the candlesticks one like the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to his feet, and girded about the breast with a golden girdle.
Aakati kazikilo eezi zyamalampi zyamalampi kwali umwi wakali mbuli mwana wamuntu kasamide dembo damfu lyakalikusika kumawulu aakwe amwiingwa nkwa wangolida kuzyungulukide kaango kakwe.
14 And his head and his hairs were as wool, white as snow; and his eyes were like a flame of fire;
Mutwe wakwe amasusu aakwe aakali kutuba mbuli buluba- kuta mbuli sikunku ameso aakwe akali mbuli mulilo.
15 and his feet were like brass, as having been burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters,
Mawulu aakwe aakali mbuli nsimbi yananikwa, mbuli nsimbi yasunkwa mumvuto yamulilo, ajwi lyakwe lyakali mbuli kuvuuma kwameenda mayingi.
16 and having in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth is going forth a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance like the sun shines in his strength.
Wakalijisi nyenyezi zili musanu azibili kuluboko lwakwe lwalulyo. Mumulomo wakwe mwakazwa panga libosya koonse koonse. Busyu bwakwe bwakali kumweka mbuli zuba libalisya loko.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man; and he laid his right hand on me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Nindakamubona ndakawida ndakawida kumawulu aakwe mbuli muntu mufwide. Wakabika luboko lwakwe lwalulyo aalindime mpawo wakati, “Utayoowi. Ndime matalikilo amamanino
19 Therefore write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which are about to take place after these;
Nkikaako lemba ansi nzwaabona, chiliwo lino achizoochitika kuzwa aawa.
20 and the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven golden candlesticks are the seven churches.
Bupanduluzi busisikene bwaamba nyenyezi zili musanu azibili nzwaabona muluboko lwangu lwalulyo, azibikilo zyangolida zili musanu azibili: Nyenyezi zili musanu azibili mbaangelo bambungano zili musanu azibili alazyo zibikilo zyamalampi zili musanu azibil, ni mbungano zili musanu azibili.”
