< Revelation 1 >

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to shew unto his servants, [even] the things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John;
Awu ndo ugubutulu wa Yesu Kristu, Mlungu kamupananiti kawalanguziyi wantumintumi wakuwi vitwatira vilii vifiruwa kulawira pakwegera. Kristu kavitenditi avi vimaniki kwa kumtuma ntumintumi gwakuwi gwa kumpindi kamgambiziyi ntumintumi gwakuwi Yohani vitwatira avi,
2 who bare witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, [even] of all things that he saw.
na Yohani kalongiti goseri gakagawoniti. Na avi ndo visoweru vya Mlungu na ukapitawu wa Yesu Kristu.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Mbaka yakuwi muntu yakashibetula shintola ashi shashiwera na Visoweru vya umbuyi wa Mlungu na mbaka yawu yawapikanira na kukola yagalembitwi amu, toziya shipindi sha vitwatira avi shapakwegera.
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him which is and which was and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
Neni Yohani nuvilembiriti vipinga saba vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu vya aku Asiya. Nuwapanana manemu na ponga kulawa kwa yomberi yakaweriti, yakawera na yakiza na kulawa kwa rohu saba yawawera palongolu pa shibanta shakuwi sha ukulu,
5 and from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us from our sins by his blood;
na kulawa kwa Yesu Kristu kapitawu mwaminika, mwiwuku gwa kwanja gwa woseri hawiwuki kwa ukomu wa syayi kulaa kwawahowiti na yomberi ndo mkolamlima gwa wafalumi wa pasipanu. Yomberi katufira na kwa mwazi gwakuwi katuyopola kulawa ntawaliru ya vidoda vyetu,
6 and he made us [to be] a kingdom, [to be] priests unto his God and Father; to him [be] the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
na katunyawa tuweri ufalumi na watambika wakumtendera Mlungu Tati gwakuwi. Kwakuwi Yesu Kristu uweri ukwisa na makakala, mashaka goseri! Yina hangu. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they which pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
Guloli! Kankwiza mumawundi! Kila lisu halimwoni na ata walii yawamtoboliti. Makabila goseri pasipanu hagagutangi kwajili ya yomberi. Yina! Yina hangu.
8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, which is and which was and which is to come, the Almighty.
“Neni ndo gwa kwanja na gwa upeleru wa vitwatira vyoseri.” Kalonga Mtuwa Mlungu yakawera na makakala goseri, yakawera, yakaweriti na yakiza.
9 I John, your brother and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and patience [which are] in Jesus, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
Neni Yohani, mlongu gwenu mungati mwa Yesu, kwa kulikonaziya pamuhera na Yesu, ntenda pamuhera na mwenga kutabika na ufalumi wakuwi na uhepelera. Neni ntulitwi pakati pashisiwa shawashema Patimu panwera mtatilwa toziya ya kubwera Shisoweru sha Mlungu na upitawulira wa Yesu.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet
Su shipindi shimu, lishaka lya Mtuwa, nkolitwi na Rohu, mpikanira kumbeli kwaneni liziwu likulu gambira mbalapi.
11 saying, What thou seest, write 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.
Nalyeni lilongiti, “Gugalembi mushintola galii gagugawona, gushijegi kwa vipinga avi saba vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu kwa Efesu na kwa Simurina na kwa Perigamu na kwa Tuatira na kwa Saridi na kwa Filadefiya pamuhera na Laudikiya.”
12 And I turned to see the voice which spake with me. And having turned I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Su ngalambukiti numuloli ulii yakatakuliti na neni, mona vintambi saba vya vimuliku vya zaabu,
13 and in the midst of the candlesticks one like unto a son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle.
na pakati pakuwi pavintambi kuweriti na shintu gambira muntu, yomberi kaweriti kavala lihabiti litali mpaka mumagulu na lushigi lwa zaabu pashifuwa.
14 And his head and his hair were white as white wool, [white] as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Nvili zyakuwi ziweriti mfufu mbuu, masu gakuwi gang'ereng'etiti gambira mbamba zya motu,
15 and his feet like unto burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters.
magulu gakuwi gambira shaba yawamerimeziyiti na kuyigulula mulitanuru lya motu, na liziwu lyakuwi gambira mputu.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
Muliwoku lyakuwi lya kumliwu paweriti na ntondu saba na mumlomu mwakuwi mlawiriti upanga yawuwera na makola kuwili. Sheni shakuwi shing'ereng'eta gambira mshenji gukalipa nentu.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,
Su panumwoniti hera, nguwiti palongolu pa magulu gakuwi gambira mawuti. Kumbiti yomberi katula liwoku lyakuwi lya kumliwu pampindi paneni, kalonga, “Guleki kutira! Neni ndo gwa kwanja na gwa upeleru.
18 and the Living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
Neni ndo yomberi yakawera mkomu! Newiti howa, kumbiti guloli, vinu na mkomu mashaka goseri. Nanazi funguwu zya mawuti na zya mulirindi lyalihera upeleru. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
19 Write therefore the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass hereafter;
Su vinu gulembi vitwatira avi vyaguviwona, vitwatira vyavilawira vinu na vilii havilawili shakapanu.”
20 the mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks are seven churches.
Bada zya ntondu saba zilii zyaguziwoniti pakati pa liwoku lyaneni lya kumliwu na vilii vintambi saba vya vimuliku vya zaabu, ndo wantumintumi wa kumpindi wa vipinga saba vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu.
