Emoniseli 1
1 Emoniseli kowuta na Yesu-Klisto. Nzambe apesaki Ye yango mpo ete alakisa na basali na Ye makambo oyo esengeli koya kala mingi te. Yesu-Klisto atindaki anjelu na Ye koyebisa emoniseli yango epai ya Yoane, mosali na Ye.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
2 Lokola motatoli, Yoane asakolaki Liloba na Nzambe ndenge Yesu-Klisto ayebisaki ye yango; asakolaki makambo nyonso oyo amonaki.
Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Esengo na moto oyo atangaka maloba ya lisakoli oyo, mpe esengo na bato oyo bayokaka maloba yango mpe babatelaka makambo oyo ekomama kati na yango, pamba te tango ekomi pene.
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 Yoane; Epai ya Mangomba sambo kati na etuka ya Azia: Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino, kowuta na Ye oyo azali, azalaki mpe azali koya, kowuta na milimo sambo oyo bazalaka liboso ya Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi,
John to the seven Assemblies which are in Asia: Grace be unto 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 mpe kowuta na Yesu-Klisto, Motatoli oyo akosaka te, Mosekwi ya liboso kati na bakufi, mpe Mokonzi ya bakonzi ya mokili! Epai na Ye oyo alingaka biso mpe akangolaki biso na masumu na biso na nzela ya makila na Ye,
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 Ye oyo akomisaki biso ekolo ya bakonzi mpe ya Banganga-Nzambe mpo na kosalela Nzambe, Tata na Ye: Tika ete nkembo mpe nguya ezonga epai na Ye mpo na libela na libela! Amen! (aiōn g165)
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 « Botala, azali koya kati na mapata! Miso nyonso ekomona Ye, ezala bato oyo batobolaki Ye mopanzi; mpe bikolo nyonso ya mokili ekomilela-lela likolo na Ye. »
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 « Nazali Alifa mpe Omega, » elobi Nkolo Nzambe, « Ye oyo azali, azalaki, mpe azali koya, Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso. »
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9 Ngai Yoane, ndeko na bino, oyo azali kokabola elongo na bino pasi, bokonzi mpe molende kati na Yesu, nazalaki kati na esanga ya Patimosi, likolo ya Liloba na Nzambe mpe litatoli na ngai na tina na Yesu.
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 mokolo ya Nkolo, Molimo ya Nzambe asimbaki ngai, mpe nayokaki sima na ngai mongongo moko ya makasi lokola kelelo
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 koloba: « Koma na buku makambo oyo ozali komona, mpe tinda yango na Mangomba sambo oyo: Efeso, Simirne, Pergame, Tiyatire, Sarde, Filadelfi mpe Laodise. »
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven Assemblies which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12 Nalukaki kobaluka mpo na koluka koyeba nani oyo azali koloba na ngai. Mpe tango nabalukaki, namonaki bitelemiselo sambo ya minda, basala na wolo.
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden lampstands;
13 Mpe kati na bitelemiselo yango, ezalaki na moto moko lokola Mwana na Moto. Alataki nzambala ya molayi mpe mokaba moko ya wolo zingazinga ya tolo na Ye.
And in the midst of the seven lampstands one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 Moto mpe suki na Ye ezalaki pembe makasi lokola mvula ya pembe. Miso na Ye ezalaki lokola moto oyo ezali kopela makasi.
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 Makolo na Ye ezalaki lokola bronze oyo babimisi sika longwa na fulu ya moto makasi, mpe mongongo na Ye ezalaki koyokana lokola makelele ya mayi ya ebale monene.
And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 Na loboko na Ye ya mobali, asimbaki minzoto sambo; mpe wuta na monoko na Ye, mopanga moko bapelisa na bangambo na yango nyonso mibale ezalaki kobima. Elongi na Ye ezalaki lokola moyi, na tango oyo engalaka makasi.
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 Tango namonaki Ye, nakweyaki na makolo na Ye lokola moto akufi. Bongo asimbaki ngai na loboko na Ye ya mobali mpe alobaki na ngai: « Kobanga te! Nazali Ya liboso mpe Ya suka.
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
19 Yango wana, koma makambo oyo omoni, oyo ezali sik’oyo, mpe oyo ekoya na sima.
Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
20 Tala mabombami oyo ezali kati na minzoto sambo oyo omonaki na loboko na Ngai ya mobali, mpe bitelemiselo sambo ya minda, oyo basala na wolo: minzoto sambo elakisi ba-anjelu ya Mangomba sambo; mpe bitelemiselo sambo ya minda, oyo basala na wolo elakisi Mangomba sambo. »
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 Assemblies: and the seven lampstands which thou sawest are the seven Assemblies.
