The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him to make known to his servants, concerning what must shortly take place, and which he sent and revealed by his angel to his servant John,
2 Joani abahi bupaki ku amana ninzwi lya Ireeza mini cabu paki buba hewa kwa amana ni Jesu Kereste, zintu zonse za baboni.
who testified to the message of God and to the testimony to Jesus Christ, omitting nothing of what he had seen.
3 Ba tohonolofezwe abo ba bala ca kuhuwa, mi nabo ba teeka kwinzwi lyakwe lya cipolofita, ba kuteka ci! noletwe mwateni, mukuti inako ciyina hafuhi.
Blessed is the one who reads, and blessed are they who listen to, the words of this prophecy, and lay to heart what is here written; for the time is near.
4 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,
From John, to the seven churches which are in Roman Asia. Blessing and peace be yours from him who is, and who was, and who will be, and from the seven spirits that are before his throne,
5 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—
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the Ruler of all the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his own blood –
6 aba tupangi busimwine, buprisita bwabuIreeza imi Shetu- kwali kube nikanya ni maata kuya kusamani. Amen. (aiōn g165)
and he made us a kingdom of priests in the service of God, his Father! – to him be ascribed glory and dominion for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Mubone, ukezite mu makope; meso wonse kamubone, kukopanya nabo baba muhwezoli. Imi yonse mishobo ya munkanda kayisilise chebaka lyakwe. Eni, Amen.
He is coming among the clouds! Every eye will see him, even those who pierced him and all the nations of the earth will mourn over him. So will it be. Amen.
8 Njeme wetanzi ni mamanimani,” kuwamba Simwine Ireeza, “iye wina ko, imi yabena koo, imi yosikeza, wina Inguzu.”
‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord, the God who is, and who was, and who will be, the Almighty.
9 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.
I, John, who am your brother, and who share with you in the suffering and kingship and endurance of Jesus, found myself on the island called Patmos, for the sake of the message of God and the testimony to Jesus.
10 Ni bena Muluhuho mwizuba lya Simwine. Ni bazuwi kumasule angu muhuwo mukando sina intolombita.
I fell into a trance on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like the blast of a trumpet.
11 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.”
It said – ‘Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamus, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.’
12 Ninachebuka kubona mwine wezwi liwamba kwangu, imi hani chebuka china bona malambi egaunda akwana iyaza nitobele.
I turned to see what voice it was that spoke to me; and when I turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
13 Hakati kamalambi kubena yoswana sina mwana muntu, nazwete chizabalo chile chisika kumatende, imi ni mbati lizimbulukite chizuva chakwe.
and in the midst of the lamps one like a man, in a robe reaching to his feet, and with a golden sash across his breast.
14 Mutwi ni suki zakwe zibali kutuba sina boza bwembelele sina kabundu, hape meso akwe sina indimi ya mulilo.
The hair of his head was as white as wool, as white as snow; his eyes were like flaming fire;
15 Matende akwe aba kubenya sina ibronze, sina ibronze iba hiswa mu mulilo, hape izwi lyakwe liba kuzuweka sina mezi mangi atiya.
and his feet were like brass as when molten in a furnace; his voice was like the sound of many streams,
16 Abena ikani zikwana iyaza nitovere kwiyaza lyamalyo, ni chilinga chishengetwe kose chiba kuzwa mu mulomo wakwe. Chi fateho chakwe chiba kubenya sina izuva lihisite.
in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun in the fulness of its power.
17 Linu hanimubona, chinawila habusu bwamatende akwe sina muntu ufwile. Chakambika iyaza lyabulyo imi nati, “Sanzi usuhi. Njeme wetazi ni wamamaninizo,
And, when I saw him, I fell at his feet like one dead. He laid his hand on me and said – ‘Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,
19 Chobulyo ñole hansi zobaboni, zinako hanu, ni zetenizihinde chibaka kuzwa kwezi.
Therefore write of what you have seen and of what is happening now and of what is about to take place –
20 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,”
the mystic meaning of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamps are the seven churches.
