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 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;
2 ũrĩa nake wacookire kumbũra ũhoro ũrĩa wothe oonire, naguo nĩ ũhoro wa kiugo kĩa Ngai na ũira wa Jesũ Kristũ.
who bare witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, [even] 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 the prophecy, and keep the things which are written therein: 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 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;
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, 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;
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 g165)
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)
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 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.
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 the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, which is and which was and which 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, 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.
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 I 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, 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.
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 which spake with me. And having turned I saw seven golden candlesticks;
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 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.
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.
And his head and his hair were white as white wool, [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 unto burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the voice 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 proceeded a sharp two-edged 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 one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,
19 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, andĩka maũndũ marĩa wona, marĩa marĩ kuo rĩu na marĩa magooka thuutha-inĩ.
Write therefore the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass hereafter;
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 candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks are seven churches.
