< 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,
iyi i nsinululo ya Jesu keresite iyo Ireeza aba muhi kubonisa ba hikana bakwe chiswanela ku tendahala nambwangu. aba i zibankanisi caku tuma ingeloi lwakwa kumuhikana wakwe Joani.
2 who testified to God’s word and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.
Joani abahi bupaki ku amana ninzwi lya Ireeza mini cabu paki buba hewa kwa amana ni Jesu Kereste, zintu zonse za baboni.
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.
Ba tohonolofezwe abo ba bala ca kuhuwa, mi nabo ba teeka kwinzwi lyakwe lya cipolofita, ba kuteka ci! noletwe mwateni, mukuti inako ciyina hafuhi.
4 John, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;
Joani, kwi keleke zikwana iyaza ni zobele mwa Asia; Chishemo chibe nanwe ni nkozo izwa kozo winako, imi abenako, imi iye yosikeza, imi yozwa kwihuho zikwana iyaza nitobele benakumasule achihuna chakwe,
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 washed us from our sins by his blood—
imi kuzwa kwa Jesu Kereste, ipaki isepahala, Iye wetanzi kuzwa kuba fwile, iye mubusi uba simwine ba mwikanda. Kwali iye mwine yotusaka aba tulukululi kuzive kamalaha akwe—
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 )
aba tupangi busimwine, buprisita bwabuIreeza imi Shetu- kwali kube nikanya ni maata kuya kusamani. Amen. (aiōn )
7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
Mubone, ukezite mu makope; meso wonse kamubone, kukopanya nabo baba muhwezoli. Imi yonse mishobo ya munkanda kayisilise chebaka lyakwe. Eni, Amen.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Njeme wetanzi ni mamanimani,” kuwamba Simwine Ireeza, “iye wina ko, imi yabena koo, imi yosikeza, wina Inguzu.”
9 I John, your brother and partner with you in the oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God’s Word and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Ime Joani-mukwaluzubo wenu hape uli yabela nanwe mu manyando nimuso nikulo inde kubena kwa Jesu—nibena muchiwoli chisupwa Patmosi chebaka lyezwi lye Ireeza ni bupaki buamana niJesu.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
Ni bena Muluhuho mwizuba lya Simwine. Ni bazuwi kumasule angu muhuwo mukando sina intolombita.
11 saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
Nilyati, “ñole zobwene mumbuka, imi uzitumine kwi kereke zikwana iyanza limwina ni tobele—kwa Maefese, kwa Simina, kwa Pegamumu, kwaTiyatira, kwa Sadisi, Kwa Filadefia, im ni kwa Laodisia.”
12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
Ninachebuka kubona mwine wezwi liwamba kwangu, imi hani chebuka china bona malambi egaunda akwana iyaza nitobele.
13 And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
Hakati kamalambi kubena yoswana sina mwana muntu, nazwete chizabalo chile chisika kumatende, imi ni mbati lizimbulukite chizuva chakwe.
14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
Mutwi ni suki zakwe zibali kutuba sina boza bwembelele sina kabundu, hape meso akwe sina indimi ya mulilo.
15 His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
Matende akwe aba kubenya sina ibronze, sina ibronze iba hiswa mu mulilo, hape izwi lyakwe liba kuzuweka sina mezi mangi atiya.
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.
Abena ikani zikwana iyaza nitovere kwiyaza lyamalyo, ni chilinga chishengetwe kose chiba kuzwa mu mulomo wakwe. Chi fateho chakwe chiba kubenya sina izuva lihisite.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last,
Linu hanimubona, chinawila habusu bwamatende akwe sina muntu ufwile. Chakambika iyaza lyabulyo imi nati, “Sanzi usuhi. Njeme wetazi ni wamamaninizo,
18 and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades. (aiōn , Hadēs )
ime yohala. Nibafwile, kono bone, Nihala kuyakusamani! Hape nina chikulukulu chefu ni Hele. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.
Chobulyo ñole hansi zobaboni, zinako hanu, ni zetenizihinde chibaka kuzwa kwezi.
20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.
Kwezina ziwungwilwe italuso kuamana nikani zikwana iyaza nizobele zobaboni zina mwiyaza lyangu lyabulyo, ni malambi egaunda akwana iyaza ni wobele. Ikani zikwana iyaza ni tovele nji mangiloi akwana iyaza ni zobele ekereke, imi zikwana iyaza ni zobele malambi akwana iyaza ni wobele nji kereke zikwana iyaza ni zobele,”
