Revelation 1
1 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, John,
Emoniseli kowuta na Yesu-Klisto. Nzambe apesaki Ye yango mpo ete alakisa na basali na Ye makambo oyo esengeli koya kala mingi te. Yesu-Klisto atindaki anjelu na Ye koyebisa emoniseli yango epai ya Yoane, mosali na Ye.
2 who testified to God's word, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.
Lokola motatoli, Yoane asakolaki Liloba na Nzambe ndenge Yesu-Klisto ayebisaki ye yango; asakolaki makambo nyonso oyo amonaki.
3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is near.
Esengo na moto oyo atangaka maloba ya lisakoli oyo, mpe esengo na bato oyo bayokaka maloba yango mpe babatelaka makambo oyo ekomama kati na yango, pamba te tango ekomi pene.
4 John, to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;
Yoane; Epai ya Mangomba sambo kati na etuka ya Azia: Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino, kowuta na Ye oyo azali, azalaki mpe azali koya, kowuta na milimo sambo oyo bazalaka liboso ya Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi,
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and freed us from our sins by his blood;
mpe kowuta na Yesu-Klisto, Motatoli oyo akosaka te, Mosekwi ya liboso kati na bakufi, mpe Mokonzi ya bakonzi ya mokili! Epai na Ye oyo alingaka biso mpe akangolaki biso na masumu na biso na nzela ya makila na Ye,
6 and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ye oyo akomisaki biso ekolo ya bakonzi mpe ya Banganga-Nzambe mpo na kosalela Nzambe, Tata na Ye: Tika ete nkembo mpe nguya ezonga epai na Ye mpo na libela na libela! Amen! (aiōn g165)
7 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
« Botala, azali koya kati na mapata! Miso nyonso ekomona Ye, ezala bato oyo batobolaki Ye mopanzi; mpe bikolo nyonso ya mokili ekomilela-lela likolo na Ye. »
8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
« Nazali Alifa mpe Omega, » elobi Nkolo Nzambe, « Ye oyo azali, azalaki, mpe azali koya, Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso. »
9 I John, your brother and fellow-partner with you in persecution, Kingdom, and patient endurance in Jesus, was on the island that is called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
Ngai Yoane, ndeko na bino, oyo azali kokabola elongo na bino pasi, bokonzi mpe molende kati na Yesu, nazalaki kati na esanga ya Patimosi, likolo ya Liloba na Nzambe mpe litatoli na ngai na tina na Yesu.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
Na mokolo ya Nkolo, Molimo ya Nzambe asimbaki ngai, mpe nayokaki sima na ngai mongongo moko ya makasi lokola kelelo
11 saying, "What you see, write on a scroll and send to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
koloba: « Koma na buku makambo oyo ozali komona, mpe tinda yango na Mangomba sambo oyo: Efeso, Simirne, Pergame, Tiyatire, Sarde, Filadelfi mpe Laodise. »
12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands.
Nalukaki kobaluka mpo na koluka koyeba nani oyo azali koloba na ngai. Mpe tango nabalukaki, namonaki bitelemiselo sambo ya minda, basala na wolo.
13 And among the lampstands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
Mpe kati na bitelemiselo yango, ezalaki na moto moko lokola Mwana na Moto. Alataki nzambala ya molayi mpe mokaba moko ya wolo zingazinga ya tolo na Ye.
14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
Moto mpe suki na Ye ezalaki pembe makasi lokola mvula ya pembe. Miso na Ye ezalaki lokola moto oyo ezali kopela makasi.
15 His feet were like burnished bronze, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
Makolo na Ye ezalaki lokola bronze oyo babimisi sika longwa na fulu ya moto makasi, mpe mongongo na Ye ezalaki koyokana lokola makelele ya mayi ya ebale monene.
16 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
Na loboko na Ye ya mobali, asimbaki minzoto sambo; mpe wuta na monoko na Ye, mopanga moko bapelisa na bangambo na yango nyonso mibale ezalaki kobima. Elongi na Ye ezalaki lokola moyi, na tango oyo engalaka makasi.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last,
Tango namonaki Ye, nakweyaki na makolo na Ye lokola moto akufi. Bongo asimbaki ngai na loboko na Ye ya mobali mpe alobaki na ngai: « Kobanga te! Nazali Ya liboso mpe Ya suka.
19 Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter;
Yango wana, koma makambo oyo omoni, oyo ezali sik’oyo, mpe oyo ekoya na sima.
20 the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches. The seven lampstands are seven churches.
Tala mabombami oyo ezali kati na minzoto sambo oyo omonaki na loboko na Ngai ya mobali, mpe bitelemiselo sambo ya minda, oyo basala na wolo: minzoto sambo elakisi ba-anjelu ya Mangomba sambo; mpe bitelemiselo sambo ya minda, oyo basala na wolo elakisi Mangomba sambo. »
