Revelation 1
1 A revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave to Him to show to His servants what things must quickly come to pass; and He signified [it], having sent through His messenger to His servant John,
Mu libuku ili muli bintu Lesa mbyalayubulwila Yesu Klistu kwambeti ambile basebenshi bakendi, bintu byela kwinshika ca lino lino. Neco Klistu walatuma mungelo wakendi kuya kwambila Yohane musebenshi wakendi.
2 who testified [to] the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as he also saw.
Yohane walamba byonse mbyalabona bilambanga sha mulumbe wa Lesa ne cancinencine ncalayubulwila Yesu Klistu.
3 Blessed is he who is reading, and those hearing the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it, for the time is near!
Ukute colwe muntu labelengenga maswi abushinshimi ali mu libuku ili, kayi bakute colwe bantu balakutikinga maswi ne kwasunga. Cindi ca kwambeti bintu bitatike kwinshika cilipepi.
4 John, to the seven assemblies that [are] in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits that are before His throne,
Njame Yohane, ndalembelenga mibungano isanu ne ibili ili mu cimpansha ca Asiya. Luse ne lumuno kufuma kuli Lesa uyo walikubapo, ulipo kayi uyo lesanga, bibe ne njamwe. Luse ne lumuno kufuma kumishimu isanu ne ibili ili ku Cipuna ca Bwami bwa Lesa bibe ne njamwe.
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to Him loving us and having released us from our sins in His blood,
Kayi luse ne lumuno kufuma kuli Yesu Klistu, kamboni washomeka bibe ne njamwe. Yesu emutanshi kupunduka kubafu walakoma lufu, endiye lendeleshenga bami ba pacishi capanshi. Walatusuna netulubula ku bwipishi ne milopa yakendi.
6 [He] has also made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him—the glory and the power through the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Nendi latubiki kuba bami ne beshimilumbo beshikusebensela Lesa, Baishi. Yesu Klistu apewe bulemu ne ngofu lelo ne masuba onse, Ameni! (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all the tribes of the land will wail because of Him. Yes! Amen!
Kamubonani, lesanga mumakumbi, uliyense nakamubone, ne bonse balamuyasa. Bantu bonse pacishi capanshi nibakamulile. Neco kacikabani motepelomo. Kamubonani, Yesu lesanga pamo ne makumbi. Bantu bonse nibakamubone, naboyo balikumuyasa nibakamubone. Bantu bamishobo yonse pacishi capanshi nibakalile cebo ca endiye. Ee, ici nicikenshike! Ameni.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, says the LORD, who is, and who was, and who is coming—the Almighty.”
Mwami Lesa wa ngofu shonse, uyo walikubako, ulipo kayi uyo lakesanga. Lambangeti, “Ame njame citatiko kayi njame mapwililisho.”
9 I, John, who [am] also your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the kingdom and endurance of Jesus Christ, was in the island that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ;
Njame Yohane washoma munenu, tulapengenga cebo ca Yesu Mwami wetu, uyo latupanga ngofu sha kupita mu mapensho. Ndalabikwa pa nsumbu ya Patimo cebo ca kukambauka mulumbe wa Lesa, ne cancinencine ico ncalayubulula Yesu.
10 I was in the Spirit on the LORD’s Day, and I heard a great voice behind me, as of a trumpet, saying,
Pa busuba bwa Mwami, Mushimu Uswepa walamfukata, kayi ndalanyumfwa maswi akompolola kunyuma kwakame, alikunyumfwiketi kulila kwa tolompita.
11 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “Write what you see in a scroll, and send [it] to the seven assemblies that [are] in Asia: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
Kambeti, “Kolemba mulibuku bintu mbyolabononga, kayi watume ku mibungano isanu ne ibili ku Efenso ku Simuna ku Pegamo ku Tiyatila ku Salidisi ku Filadelufiya ne ku Lawodikeya.”
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me, and having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
Mpondalacebuketi mbone walikwamba ne njame, ndalabona pakubika malampi asanu ne abili a golide.
13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands, [One] like a Son of Man, clothed to the foot, and having been girded around at the breasts with a golden girdle,
Pakati pa byakubikapo malampi asa, palikuba naumbi walikuboneketi Mwana Muntu, walikuba wafwala mwinjila utali washika ku myendo kayi walikuba walikobeka cikwisa ca golide pa cali.
14 and His head and hairs [were] white, as if white wool—as snow, and His eyes as a flame of fire;
Mishishi ya kumutwi wakendi yalikuba tuu eti buluba, nambi eti mapepe ankobokobo, menso akendi alikuboneketi makalangasha a mulilo.
15 and His feet like to frankincense-colored brass, as having been fired in a furnace, and His voice as a sound of many waters;
Myendo yakendi yalikubeketi cela cilafukutwanga pa muba, kayi maswi akendi alikunyumfwiketi kuwota kwa menshi angi.
16 and having seven stars in His right hand, and out of His mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and His countenance—as the sun shining in its might.
Mucikasa cakendi cakululyo, walikuba wekata nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili. Kayi mu mulomo wakendi, mwalafuma cibeshi calumata konse konse. Pa cinso cakendi palikubangileti lisuba lyanga pelu pa mutwi.
17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead, and He placed His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last,
Mpondalamulangishisha, ndalawa panshi kumwendo yakendi eti muntu lafu. Neye walabika cikasa cakendi pali njame ne kwambeti, “Kotatina! ame njame citatiko ne mapwililisho.
19 Write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to come after these things;
Kolemba bintu mbyolabono, bilenshikinga pa cino cindi kayi ne byeti bikenshike kuntangu.
20 the secret of the seven stars that you have seen on My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lampstands that you have seen are seven assemblies.”
Lino ndapandululunga bintu mbyowabulanga kwinshiba cena, nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili nshewalabona ku cikasa cakame ca ku lulyo, kayi ne pakubika malampi pasanu ne pabili a golide. Nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili ni batangunishi ba mibungano isanu ne ibili, kayi pakubika malampi pasanu ne pabili a golide ni mibungano isanu ne ibili.”
