Nng'ibhulo 1
1 Gweguno ni nng'ibhulo gwa a Yeshu Kilishitu gubhapegwilwe na a Nnungu, nkupinga bhaalanguyanje bhatumishi bhabho indu ipinga koposhela shangupe. Bhashinkulangula yene indui kwa kuntuma malaika jwabho kwa a Yowana bhatumishi bhabho,
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, that he might show to his servants the things that must shortly come to pass; and he sent it by his angel, and made it known to his servant John,
2 bhenebho bhakong'ondele ga kila shindu shibhashibhwene, ga lilobhe lya a Nnungu na ukong'ondelo gwa a Yeshu Kilishitu.
who bore testimony to the word of God, and recorded the testimony of Jesus Christ, whatever things he saw.
3 Apegwe mboka jwene akwaashomelanga nnikanisha malobhe ga gweguno ukulondola guno, nneila peila bhapegwanje mboka bhene bhaapilikananga na kugabhika muntima gajandikwe mwemuno gano, pabha malanga gabhandishile.
Blessed is he that reads, and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; for the time is at hand.
4 Nne a Yowana ngunakugajandishila makanisha shabha gali kunkoa gwa Ashia. Ngunakumpinjilanga nema na ulele kukopoka kwa a Nnungu bhapali, bhaapali na bhaapinga kwiya kukoposhela kwa ashi Mbumu shabha bhalinginji mmujo ja shitengu sha upalume,
John to the seven churches that are in Asia, grace be to you and peace from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before his throne;
5 na kwa a Yeshu Kilishitu bhaakong'ondela bhaakulupalika, bhali bha lyelo ku bhawilenje, na bhakulungwa bha bhapalume bha pa shilambolyo. Bhenebho bhanakutupinga na bhashikututakaya yambi yetu kwa minyai jabho,
and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first-born from the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loves us, and that has washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 ni gubhatutendile uwe kubha upalume gwa bhaabhishila nkupinga twaatendele liengo a Nnungu, bhali aina bhabho. Ukonjelo na mashili ibhe na bhenebho piti piti, amina. (aiōn g165)
and has made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be glory and might from age to age. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Nnole bhenebho bhanakwiya na maunde na kila mundu shaabhabhone nkali bhene bhaaomilenje lipanga bhala, na ilambo yowe ya pashilambolyo shiigutanjile kwa ligongo lyabho. Elo nneyo ni shiipinga kubha.
Behold, he comes with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and those also who pierced him: and all the tribes of the land shall lament because of him. Even so. Amen.
8 Bhakulungwa a Nnungu Bhakwete Mashili bhakuti, “Nne ni jwa ntai na jwa mpelo, mbali, naapali na mbinga kwiya.”
I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
9 Nne a Yowana nankukulupalila nnjenunji, nili mmboteko pamo na mmanganyanji muupalme gwa a Nnungu na nkupunda kwiipililila, nashinkubhikwa jikape ku shilambo shitimbililwe na mashi shiishemwa Patimo kwa ligongo lya lunguya lilobhe lya a Nnugnu na kong'ondela ga a Yeshu.
I John, your brother and companion in the affliction, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, on account of the word of God, and on account of the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 Bhai, lyubha limo lya Bhakulungwa, nili ng'umbelwe naka Mbumu, gumbilikene lilobhe likulungwa mbuti lya lipenga kunyuma jangu
I was in spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice like that of a trumpet,
11 lilinkuti, “Nnjandishe nshitabhu gowe gunkugabhonaga, npeleshe ku makanisha shabha, yani ku Epesho, na ku Shimilina, na ku Peligamo, na ku Tiatila, na ku Shalidi, na ku Piladelipia, na ku Laodikia.”
saying: What you see, write in a book, and send to the seven churches; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
12 Penepo nigundendebhwishe nole, ni gani abheleketaga na nne. Ngatendebhusheje niguniibhwene itengu shabha ya kandili ya shaabhu.
And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me: and having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks,
13 Pakati pakati yene itengu ya kandili ila, nigunaabhwene bhandu bhamo malinga Mwana jwa Mundu, awete likoti lya lileu na nshipi gwa shaabhu pa ntima.
and in the midst of the seven candlesticks, one like the Son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to his feet, and girded about the breast with a golden girdle.
14 Ntwe gwakwe na umbo yakwe puyaaliji yanawe malinga mabhetya ga ngondolo, eu malinga ndambwe, na meyo gakwe pugaaliji malinga lilamba lya moto.
His head and his hair were white as white wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 Makotwa gakwe pugaaliji malinga shitale shiukengwe kaje, eu mbuti shijoshilwe pa moto gwa shipala, na lilobhe lyakwe pulyaaliji malinga mabhimbili ga mashi gamagwinji.
and his feet were like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace: and his voice was like the voice of many waters.
16 Munkono gwakwe gwa nnilo ashinkukamulila ndondwa shabha, na nkangw'a jakwe ushinkukopoka upanga gwa tema akuno na kukuno. Lubhombo lwakwe luliimelemeta kwa kaje, mbuti lyubha lya nakalanga.
And he had in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth went a sharp, two-edged sword: arid his face was as the sun when it shines in its strength.
17 Ngaabhoneje ngugwaga pa makongono gabho mbuti mundu awile. Penepo nigubhamishile nkono gwabho gwa nnilo bhalinkuti, “Nnajogope, Nne ni na jwa ntai na jwa mpelo.
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying: Fear not, I am the First and the Last,
19 “Bhai nnaino nnjandishe indu imuibhwene, ipali na yene ipinga koposhela kungai.
Write, therefore, the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and those which shall be hereafter;
20 Ga shinjubhi sha yene ndondwa shabha imuibhwene munkono gwangu gwa nnilo ila, na itengu shabha ya kandili ya shaabhu ni nnei, ndondwa shabha ila ni ashimalaika bha Makanisha shabha, na itengu shabha ila, ni Makanisha shabha.”
the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches; and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.
