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,
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 God's word, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.
Yohane walamba byonse mbyalabona bilambanga sha mulumbe wa Lesa ne cancinencine ncalayubulwila Yesu Klistu.
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.
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 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;
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 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;
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 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)
Nendi latubiki kuba bami ne beshimilumbo beshikusebensela Lesa, Baishi. Yesu Klistu apewe bulemu ne ngofu lelo ne masuba onse, Ameni! (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.
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," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
Mwami Lesa wa ngofu shonse, uyo walikubako, ulipo kayi uyo lakesanga. Lambangeti, “Ame njame citatiko kayi njame mapwililisho.”
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.
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 behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
Pa busuba bwa Mwami, Mushimu Uswepa walamfukata, kayi ndalanyumfwa maswi akompolola kunyuma kwakame, alikunyumfwiketi kulila kwa tolompita.
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."
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 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands.
Mpondalacebuketi mbone walikwamba ne njame, ndalabona pakubika malampi asanu ne abili a golide.
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.
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 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
Mishishi ya kumutwi wakendi yalikuba tuu eti buluba, nambi eti mapepe ankobokobo, menso akendi alikuboneketi makalangasha a mulilo.
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.
Myendo yakendi yalikubeketi cela cilafukutwanga pa muba, kayi maswi akendi alikunyumfwiketi kuwota kwa menshi angi.
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.
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 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,
Mpondalamulangishisha, ndalawa panshi kumwendo yakendi eti muntu lafu. Neye walabika cikasa cakendi pali njame ne kwambeti, “Kotatina! ame njame citatiko ne mapwililisho.
19 Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter;
Kolemba bintu mbyolabono, bilenshikinga pa cino cindi kayi ne byeti bikenshike kuntangu.
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.
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.”
