Okubikkulirwa 1
1 Okubikkulirwa kwa Yesu Kristo, Katonda kwe yamuwa okulaga abaddu be ebyo ebiteekwa okubaawo amangu. Kristo yakimanyisa ng’atuma malayika we eri omuweereza we Yokaana
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 eyategeeza ekigambo kya Katonda n’obujulirwa bwa Yesu Kristo ku byonna bye yalaba.
who testified to the message of God and to the testimony to Jesus Christ, omitting nothing of what he had seen.
3 Alina omukisa oyo asoma n’abo abawulira ebigambo by’obunnabbi buno, ne beekuuma ebiwandiikiddwa, kubanga ekiseera kiri kiweddeyo.
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 Nze Yokaana mpandiikira Ekkanisa omusanvu eziri mu Asiya. Mbagaliza ekisa n’emirembe ebiva eri Katonda oyo aliwo, era eyaliwo era alibaawo; n’ebiva eri emyoyo omusanvu egiri mu maaso g’entebe ye ey’obwakabaka,
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 era n’okuva eri Yesu Kristo omujulirwa omwesigwa. Oyo ye yasooka okuzuukira mu bafu, era y’afuga bakabaka ab’omu nsi; oyo yatwagala, era ye yatuggya mu bibi byaffe n’omusaayi gwe,
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 n’atufuula obwakabaka bw’obwakabona bwa Katonda, Kitaawe. Ekitiibwa n’obuyinza bibeerenga eri oyo emirembe n’emirembe. Amiina. (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 “Laba, ajja n’ebire, na buli liiso lirimulaba, n’abaamufumita balimulaba, era n’amawanga gonna ku nsi galimukungubagira.”
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 “Nze Alufa ne Omega,”bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “oyo aliwo, eyabaawo era alikomawo, Ayinzabyonna.”
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord, the God who is, and who was, and who will be, the Almighty.
9 Nze muganda wammwe Yokaana, abonaabonera awamu nammwe mu bwakabaka ne mu kugumiikiriza ebiri mu Yesu, nnali ku kizinga ekiyitibwa Patumo, olw’ekigambo kya Katonda era n’okujulira ebya Yesu.
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 Nnali mu mwoyo ku lunaku lwa Mukama waffe, ne mpulira eddoboozi ery’omwanguka emabega wange, eryavuga ng’ery’akagombe,
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 nga ligamba nti, “By’olaba, biwandiike mu kitabo, okiweereze eri Ekkanisa omusanvu: Ekkanisa ey’omu Efeso, n’ey’omu Sumuna, n’ey’omu Perugamo, n’ey’omu Suwatira, n’ey’omu Saadi, n’ey’omu Firaderufiya n’ey’omu Lawodikiya.”
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 Ne nkyuka okulaba eyali ayogera nange, ne ndaba ebikondo by’ettaala ebya zaabu musanvu.
I turned to see what voice it was that spoke to me; and when I turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
13 Era wakati mu byo ne ndabamu omuntu “eyali ng’Omwana w’Omuntu” eyali ayambadde ekyambalo ekiwanvu ekikoma ku bigere, nga yeesibye mu kifuba olukoba olwa zaabu.
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 Omutwe gwe n’enviiri ze byali byeru ng’ebyoya by’endiga ebyeru, era nga bifaanana ng’omuzira, n’amaaso ge nga gali ng’ennimi z’omuliro.
The hair of his head was as white as wool, as white as snow; his eyes were like flaming fire;
15 Ebigere bye byali ng’ekikomo ekizigule ekyakaayakana mu muliro n’eddoboozi lye nga liyira ng’amazzi amangi.
and his feet were like brass as when molten in a furnace; his voice was like the sound of many streams,
16 Yali akutte emmunyeenye musanvu mu mukono gwe ogwa ddyo era ng’alina ekitala ekyogi eky’obwogi obubiri mu kamwa ke; n’ekyenyi kye nga kiri ng’enjuba eyakaayakana mu maanyi gaayo.
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 Bwe namulaba, ne ngwa wansi ku bigere bye ne mba ng’afudde, kyokka ye n’anteekako omukono gwe ogwa ddyo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Totya. Nze Owoolubereberye era Owenkomerero,
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 “Kale wandiika ebyo by’olabye ebiriwo n’ebyo ebinaatera okubaawo oluvannyuma lw’ebyo ebiriwo.
Therefore write of what you have seen and of what is happening now and of what is about to take place –
20 Ka nkubuulire amakulu g’emmunyeenye omusanvu z’olabye mu mukono gwange ogwa ddyo, era n’ebikondo eby’ettaala ebya zaabu omusanvu. Emmunyeenye omusanvu be bamalayika b’Ekkanisa omusanvu, ate ebikondo by’ettaala eza zaabu omusanvu ze Kkanisa omusanvu.”
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.
