Okuswelulwa 1
1 Kunu ni kuswelulwa kwa Yesu Kristo kunu Nyamuanga amuyaye koleleki abheleshe abhakosi bhaye amisango jinu jili ja bhusi bhusi jibhonekane bhwangu. Agakolele gamenyekane kwo kumutuma malaika waye ku mukosi Yohana.
Jesus Christ's revelation, which God gave Him to show to His slaves—things that must occur shortly. And He communicated it, sending it by His angel to His slave John,
2 Yohana asosishe obhubhambasi bhwa bhuli chinu chinu alolele okulubhana no omusango gwa Nyamuanga na ku bhubhambasi bhunu bhwasosibhwe ingulu ya Yesu Kristo.
who gave witness to the word of God, even the testimony of Jesus Christ—the things that He saw, both things that are and those that must happen after these.
3 Ana libhando unu kasoma kwo bhulaka na bhaliya bhona bhanu abhagendelela amasango go bhulagi bhunu no kuchikolela chinu chandikilwemo, kulwa insonga omwanya gweliye.
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; because the time is near.
4 Yohana, ku makanisa musanju ganu gali Asia: echigongo chibhe kwemwe no mulembe okusoka ku mwene unu alio, unu aliga alio, na unu alija, no kusoka kwe myoyo musanju bhanu bhali imbele ye chitebhe chaye echo bhutungi,
John, to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him who is and who was and who is coming, and from the sevenfold Spirit who is before His throne,
5 no kusoka ku Yesu Kristo unu ali mubhambasi mwiikanyibhwa, omwibhulwa wo kwamba wa bhanu bhafuye, no mutungi wa bhakama bha ku Chalo chinu. Ku mwene unu kachenda na achisulumuye okusoka mu bhibhibhi bhyeswe kwa insagama yaye,
and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn from among the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins with His own blood
6 achikolele kubha bhukama, bhagabhisi bha Nyamuanga ne esemwene ku mwene libhe ekusho na amanaga kajanende kone. Amina. (aiōn g165)
—indeed, He made us a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Lola, kaja na mele; bhuli liso lilimulola, amwi na bhona bhanu bhamwitile. Na jinganda jona eje chalo ejilila kumwene. Yee, Amina.
Take note, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, including those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will beat their breasts [in dismay] because of Him. Yea, verily!
8 “Nanye Alfa na Omega,” Kaika Latabhugenyi Nyamuanga, “Unu alio, na unu aliga alio, na unu kaja, unu ali na manage.”
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “He who is and who was and who is coming, The Almighty.”
9 Anye, Yohana-owanyu no umwi unu kasangila amwi nemwe mu nyako no bhukama no by mu chimali bhunu bhuli mu Yesu.
I, John, your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Christ Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the Word of God and on account of the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 nalinga nili kwisinga linu elitongwa Patimo kulwa insonga yo musango gwa Nyamuanga no obhubhambasi okulubhana na Yesu. Naliga nili mu Mwoyo ku lusiku lwa Latabhugenyi. Ninungwa inyuma yani obhukama bhwa ingulu kuti litalumbeta,
I was in spirit on the Lord's day and I heard a voice behind me, loud as a trumpet,
11 nibhwaika, “Nuwandike mu chitabho jinu oulola, ujitume ku makanisa musanju, jije Efeso, jije Simurna, jije Pergamo, jije Thiatila, jije Sardi, jije Philadelphia, na jije Laodikia.”
saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
12 Ninikebhukila nilole ni bhukama bhwana bhunu obhwaika nanye, na nejile nekebhukila nindola ingujo ya ijaabhu ili na jitala musanju.
And there I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 Agati-gati ya ingujo ya jitala aliga alimo umwi uti Mwana wo munu, afwaye ikanju ndela inu yaliga ikingile ku bhisesegela bhya amagulu gaye, na omuchipi ogwa ijaabhu okwiinda echifubha chaye.
and in the midst of the seven lampstands one similar to a son of man, clothed down to the feet and girded at the nipples with a golden belt.
14 Omutwe gwaye na jinfwili Jaye jaliga jelele uti magafu gamwela uti mabhui ga ing'ubha, na meso gaye galiga uti ebhesi lya mulilo.
Now His head, that is His hair, was white, like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire;
15 Ne bhigele bhyaye bhyaliga uti chuma chinu chikubhilwe muno, kuti chuma chinu chilabhile mu mulilo, no bhulaka bhwaye bhuli lwe chiulumo cha maji mafu ganu agetuluka kwa managa.
and His feet were like fine brass, as when refined in a furnace; and His voice was like the sound of many waters;
16 Aliga agwatiliye jinjota musanju mu kubhoko kwaye okwebhulyo, no okusoka mumunwa gwaye lyaliga lilimo lipanga linyamogi gabhili. Obhusu bhwaye bhwaliga ni bhulabhya lwa lisubha kutyo elisekana muno.
and He had seven stars on His right hand and a sharp two-edged sword coming out of His mouth; and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.
17 Nejile namulola, Ningwa mumagulu gaye lwo munu unu aliga afuye. Natulilako okubhoko kwaye okwebhulyo ingulu yani no kwaika ati, “wasiga kubhaya! Anye ndi wo kwamba no wokumalisha,
And when I saw Him I fell at His feet as if dead. And He placed His right hand upon me saying: “Do not fear. I am the First and the Last,
19 Kulwejo, nujandike jinu walolele, jinu jilio woli na jinu jilibhonekana kukila jinu.
Therefore write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are going to occur after these.
20 Kulwo kubha jinu jiselekele okulubhana na jinjota musanju jinu wabhwene ku kubhoko kwani okwebhulyo, inomyo eya ijaabhu eya tala musanju: Jinjota musanju mbe ni Malaika bha Makanisa galya musanju, na Inomyo ya tala musanju ni galiya makanisa musanju.”
The mystery of the seven stars which you saw upon my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the messengers of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands that you saw are seven churches.
