Revelation 1
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him to make known to his servants, concerning what must shortly take place, and which he sent and revealed by his angel to his servant John,
Nyaa nga cha umukulilwe Yesu Kirisitu ambao Nnungu apelwe kualangya abandu bake makowew ambago lazima ga pa pilya karibuni. Apangite gatanganikwe kwabkumtuma malaika wake kwa mbanda wake Yohana.
2 who testified to the message of God and to the testimony to Jesus Christ, omitting nothing of what he had seen.
Yohana apiya ushuhuda wa kila kilibe cha kibweni usiana na likowe lya Nnungu ni kwa ushuhuda wa upiite husu Yesu Kirisitu.
3 Blessed is the one who reads, and blessed are they who listen to, the words of this prophecy, and lay to heart what is here written; for the time is near.
Abalikiwe ywembe ywa soma kwa lilobe na balu babayua maneno ga unabii gano na kugatii chakiandikilwe muno, kitumbu muda uti karibia.
4 From John, to the seven churches which are in Roman Asia. Blessing and peace be yours from him who is, and who was, and who will be, and from the seven spirits that are before his throne,
Yohana kwa makanisa saba ga gabile Asia: neema ibe kwinu na amani buka kwa ywabile, ywapabaa, na ywapaicha na buka kwa Roho saba bababile nnongi ya kitigo chake cha enzi.
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the Ruler of all the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his own blood –
Na buka kwa Yesu Kirisitu ambeye nga shahidi mwaminifu mmelkekwa wa kwanza ba bawile, na ntawala wa mfalme dunia yino, kwa ywembe ywatupendile na atubikite huru buka mmalau gitu kwa damu yake.
6 and he made us a kingdom of priests in the service of God, his Father! – to him be ascribed glory and dominion for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Atupangite panga ufalme wa makuhani wa Nnungu na Tate bake kwake panga tukuka na ngupu milelebdaima. Amina. (aiōn g165)
7 He is coming among the clouds! Every eye will see him, even those who pierced him and all the nations of the earth will mourn over him. So will it be. Amen.
Linga andaicha na maunde kila lio lipakumwona pamoja boti babamwomite. Na kabila yoti ya dunia bapakukulika kwake. Ndiyo, Amina.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord, the God who is, and who was, and who will be, the Almighty.
Nenga nga Alfa na Omega abaya Ngwana Nnungu, ywembe ywabile na ywapabaa, na ambaye andaicha mwene ngupu.
9 I, John, who am your brother, and who share with you in the suffering and kingship and endurance of Jesus, found myself on the island called Patmos, for the sake of the message of God and the testimony to Jesus.
Nenga Yohana nuna winu na kati yinu ywa shiriki mateso na ufalme na uvumumilia thabiti wa ubile katika Yesu; nabile pa kisiwa cha kikemelwa Patimo kitumbu cha neno la Nnungu na ushuhuda usu Yesu.
10 I fell into a trance on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like the blast of a trumpet.
Nabile katika Roho lichuba la Ngwana, nayuwine nchugu yangu lilobe la kunani kati ya tarumbeta,
11 It said – “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamus, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
Yaibaya, uandike katika kitabu ga ugabona na ugatume kwa makanisa saba yenda Efeso, yenda Smima, yenda Pergamo, yenda Thiatira, yenda Sardi, yenda Philadelphia na yenda Laodikia.
12 I turned to see what voice it was that spoke to me; and when I turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
Nitigalambuka linga ni lilobe lya nyai ywabile kalongela na nee, na panigalambwike nabweni kinara cha dhahabu cha taa saba.
13 and in the midst of the lamps one like a man, in a robe reaching to his feet, and with a golden sash across his breast.
Pakatikati ya kinara cha taa abile yumo kati mwana wa Adamu, aweti ngamu ndacho yaukite pai ya magulu gake, na mkanda wa dhahabu tindia pa kiuba.
14 The hair of his head was as white as wool, as white as snow; his eyes were like flaming fire;
Mtwe wakwe na nywili yake yai uu kati pamba kati barafu na minyo gake gabi mwali wa mwoto.
15 and his feet were like brass as when molten in a furnace; his voice was like the sound of many streams,
Njayo yake yabi kati shaba yahikutilwe sana, kati shaba yaipitile katika mwoto, na lilobe lyake yabi kati machi maingi gaga yenda kwa haraka.
16 in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun in the fulness of its power.
Abi akamwi ndondwa saba katika luboko lwake wa mmalyo, na buka mukano wake mwabi na lipanga likale wene makale kuno na kuno. Kuminyo yake kwende ng'araa kati mwenga nkalee walichuba.
17 And, when I saw him, I fell at his feet like one dead. He laid his hand on me and said – “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,
Pamweni, natitumbuka pamagulu gake kati mundu nywa wile. Abikite luboko lwake mmalyo panani yangu na baya “Kana uyogope” Ninga na wa kwanza na wa mwisho.
19 Therefore write of what you have seen and of what is happening now and of what is about to take place –
Kwaiyo ugaaandike ga ugabweni nambiambi, na galo gagapita baadaye,
20 the mystic meaning of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamps are the seven churches.
kwa maana yaiyubite husu ndondwa saba yauibweni katika luboko lwangu lwa mmalyo, na chilo kinara kinara cha dhahabu cha taa saba: ndondwa saba nga malaika wa makanisa saba, na kinara cha taa saba nga galo makanisa saba.
