< Revelation 1 >
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel to his servant John:
Achichi ni chiunukuko chi Che Yesu Kilisito chiŵapegwile ni Akunnungu kuti ŵalosye ŵakutumichila ŵakwe ichiiwoneche pangakaŵa. Kilisito ŵantumile katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwe ŵamanyisye katumetume jwakwe che Yohana yeleyo.
2 Who bore testimony of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Nombe che Yohana ŵasasile yose iŵaiweni nkati Liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni umboni u Che Yesu Kilisito.
3 Blessed [is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time [is] at hand.
Akwete upile mundu jwakusyoma maloŵe ga utenga waukulondola, akwete upile ŵakupilikana ni kukamulisya gagalembekwe mwelemu, pakuŵa moŵa gakutyochela indu yi gaŵandichile.
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace [be] 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;
Une che Yohana ngujilembela mipingo saba ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito jajili ku chilambo cha Asia. Umbone uŵe kukwenu ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu jwapali ni juŵapali ni juchaiche, ni kutyochela kwa mbumu saba syasili mmbujo mwa chitengu cha umwenye,
5 And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first-begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
ni kutyochela ku Che Yesu Kilisito. Jwaumboni jwakukulupilichika ni jwaandanda kusyusikwa, ni jwakwatawala mamwenye ŵa pachilambo. Ŵelewo akutunonyela, ni kwa miasi jao atulechelele kutyochela mu kutaŵikwa ni sambi syetu.
6 And hath made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
Atutesile tuŵe ŵambopesi mu umwenye kuti twatumichile Akunnungu Atati ŵao. Ku Che Yesu Kilisito upagwe Ukulu ni ukombole moŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (aiōn )
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] who pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Nnole chaiche mmaunde ni mundu jwali jose chiŵawone. Nombe aŵala ŵaŵansomile ni mpamba, ni ŵandu ŵa ngosyo syose sya pachilambo chalile malilo ligongo lyao. Eloo.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
Ambuje Akunnungu jwali ni ukombole wose, jwapali ni juŵapali ni juchaiche akuti, “Une ndili jwaandanda ni jwambesi.”
9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Uneji che Yohana, mpwenu, jungulumbikana ni ŵanyamwe mmasauko ni mu umwenye wa Akunnungu ni mu upililiu kwa ligongo lya kwakulupilila Che Yesu Kilisito. Une ŵambeleche mu kutaŵikwa chilumba cha ku Patimo kwa ligongo lya kwalalichila ŵandu Liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni kuŵalanga umboni nkati Che Yesu.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Pa lyuŵa lya Ambuje Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵanongwesye, ni napilikene liloŵe lyekulungwa mu nyuma jangu mpela kusona kwa lipenga,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] to the seven churches which are in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
lichitiji, “Nnembe mu chitabu chinkuchiwona ni kuchijausya kwa mipingo saba ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, jajili mu misi ja Efeso ni Similina ni Peligamo ni Siatila ni Sadi ni Filadefia ni Laodikia.”
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Nipele nagalawiche naalole ŵelewo ŵakuŵecheta none. Mkugalauka mo, naiweni indu saba yakuŵichila imuli yaikolochekwe ni sahabu,
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
ni pasikati jakwe indu yakuŵichila imuli paliji ni jumo jwali mpela Mwana jwa Mundu jwawasile mwinjilo weleu ni jwantaŵe mkaanda wa sahabu pantima wakwe.
14 His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire;
Umbo syakwe syaliji syeswela mbee ni meeso gakwe ganyesimaga mpela mooto waukukolela.
15 And his feet like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Makongolo gakwe gang'alime mpela shaba jajikundikwe uchenene pa mooto ni liloŵe lyao lyaliji mpela kukukuma kwa meesi.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength.
Nombewo ŵakamulile ndondwa saba kunkono wao wa kundyo, ni mu kang'wa mwakwe mwakopweche lipanga lyenole kosekose ni ngope jao jaliji mpela lyuŵa lyalikuti kung'alima kwa machili gakwe gose.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Noneji panammweni nagwilile pamakongolo gao mpela mundu jwawile. Nombejo ŵasajichile nkono wao wa kundyo achitiji, “Ngasinjogopa, une ni jwaandanda ni jwambesi.
18 [I am] he that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (aiōn , Hadēs )
Sooni ndili jwanjumi, naliji wile, nnole ndili jwanjumi moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Ngwete ukombole wa kwatenda ŵandu awe ni ngwete ukombole wa kwiuto kwa ŵandu ŵawile. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
Nipele, nnembe indu inkwiwona ni indu yaipali sambano jino ni indu yachiityochele paujo.
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 which thou sawest are the seven churches.
Chantemela cha ndondwa saba simwasiweni ku nkono wangu wa kundyo, ni aila indu saba yakuŵichila imuli yekolochekwe ni sahabu imwaiweni ni chelechi: Asila ndondwa saba sili achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵakwima peuto pa mipingo saba ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Ni indu saba yakuŵichila imuli ili mipingo jisyene saba ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
