< Kũguũrĩrio 1 >
1 Ũyũ nĩguo ũguũrio wa Jesũ Kristũ, ũrĩa Ngai aamũguũrĩirie nĩguo onie ndungata ciake maũndũ marĩa makiriĩ gwĩkĩka o ica ikuhĩ. Aamenyithanirie ũhoro ũcio na ũndũ wa gũtũma mũraika wake kũrĩ ndungata yake Johana,
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:
2 ũrĩa nake wacookire kumbũra ũhoro ũrĩa wothe oonire, naguo nĩ ũhoro wa kiugo kĩa Ngai na ũira wa Jesũ Kristũ.
Who bore witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũthomaga ciugo cia ũrathi ũyũ, na kũrathimwo nĩ andũ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro ũyũ na makaiga ngoro-inĩ ciao ũhoro ũrĩa wandĩkĩtwo ũrathi-inĩ ũyũ, tondũ ihinda nĩrĩkuhĩrĩirie.
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it: for the time is at hand.
4 Nĩ niĩ Johana, Ndĩratũmĩra makanitha marĩa mũgwanja marĩ kũu bũrũri wa Asia ũhoro ũyũ: Atĩrĩrĩ, wega na thayũ irogĩa na inyuĩ kuuma kũrĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ ho, na nowe warĩ ho, na nowe ũgooka, na kuuma kũrĩ maroho mũgwanja marĩa maikaraga mbere ya gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene,
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;
5 o na kuuma kũrĩ Jesũ Kristũ, mũira ũrĩa mwĩhokeku, o we irigithathi rĩa arĩa akuũ, na mwathi wa athamaki a thĩ. Kũrĩ ũcio ũtwendete, na agatuohorithia kuuma mehia-inĩ maitũ na ũndũ wa thakame yake,
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,
6 na agatũtua andũ a ũthamaki na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩguo tũtungatage Ngai na Ithe wake: ũgooci na wathani irogĩa kũrĩ we tene na tene! Ameni. (aiōn )
And hath made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
7 Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩ gũũka arooka na matu, na gũtirĩ riitho rĩtakamuona, o na andũ arĩa maamũtheecire nĩmakamuona; nao andũ othe a thĩ nĩmagacakaya nĩ ũndũ wake. Ũguo nĩguo gũgaatuĩka! Ameni.
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.
8 Mwathani Ngai ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ Alifa o na Omega, ũrĩa ũrĩ ho, na nowe warĩ ho, na nowe ũgooka, o we Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.”
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.
9 Niĩ, Johana, mũrũ wa ithe wanyu, na mũgwatanĩri na inyuĩ thĩinĩ wa mĩnyamaro, na ũthamaki, na gũkirĩrĩria tũũmĩrĩirie, o iria irĩ ciitũ thĩinĩ wa Jesũ, ndaarĩ gĩcigĩrĩra-inĩ kĩa iria kĩrĩa gĩĩtagwo Patimo tondũ wa Ũhoro wa Ngai na ũira wa Jesũ.
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.
10 Na rĩrĩ, ndaarĩ thĩinĩ wa Roho Mũthenya wa Mwathani, na niĩ ngĩigua mũgambo mũnene thuutha wakwa warĩ ta wa karumbeta,
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Andĩka ũrĩa ũkuona ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo, na ũcooke ũũtũmĩre makanitha marĩa mũgwanja: nĩmo kanitha wa Efeso, na wa Simurina, na wa Perigamo, na wa Thuatira, na wa Saride, na wa Filadelifia, na wa Laodikia.”
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.
12 Na niĩ ngĩĩhũgũra nĩguo nyone mũgambo ũcio wanjaragĩria. Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndehũgũrire, ngĩona mĩtĩ mũgwanja ya thahabu ya kũigĩrĩra matawa,
And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands;
13 na gatagatĩ ka mĩtĩ ĩyo nĩ haarĩ na mũndũ “wahaanaga ta mũrũ wa mũndũ,” wehumbĩte nguo yamũkinyĩte o nyarĩrĩ, na akeoha mũcibi wa thahabu gĩthũri.
And in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the breasts with a golden band.
14 Naguo mũtwe wake na njuĩrĩ yake ciarĩ njerũ cua ta guoya wa ngʼondu, cierũhĩte o ta ira, namo maitho make maahaanaga ta nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki.
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 Namo magũrũ make maahaanaga ta gĩcango gĩgũkenga kĩrĩ mwaki-inĩ wa aturi, naguo mũgambo wake watariĩ ta mũrurumo wa maaĩ maingĩ.
And his feet like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 Guoko-inĩ gwake kwa ũrĩo aanyiitĩte njata mũgwanja, na kuuma kanua-inĩ gake hakoima rũhiũ rwa njora rũũgĩ mĩena yeerĩ. Naguo ũthiũ wake watariĩ ta riũa rĩrĩa rĩarĩte mũno.
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17 Rĩrĩa ndaamuonire ngĩgwa magũrũ-inĩ make ta mũndũ mũkuũ. Nake akĩnjigĩrĩra guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo, akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra. Nĩ niĩ wa Mbere, na ni niĩ wa Kũrigĩrĩria.
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:
18 Nĩ niĩ Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Muoyo; nĩndakuĩte, na rĩu ngũtũũra muoyo nginya tene na tene! Na nĩ niĩ ndĩ na cabi cia gĩkuũ na Kwa Ngoma. (aiōn , Hadēs )
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 )
19 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, andĩka maũndũ marĩa wona, marĩa marĩ kuo rĩu na marĩa magooka thuutha-inĩ.
Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be after this;
20 Nayo hitho ya njata icio mũgwanja wonire guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo, na ya mĩtĩ ĩyo mũgwanja ya thahabu ya kũigĩrĩra matawa nĩ ĩno: Njata icio mũgwanja nĩ araika a makanitha marĩa mũgwanja, nayo mĩtĩ ĩyo mũgwanja ya kũigĩrĩra matawa nĩ makanitha macio mũgwanja.
The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lampstands which thou sawest are the seven churches.
