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 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 bhenebho bhakong'ondele ga kila shindu shibhashibhwene, ga lilobhe lya a Nnungu na ukong'ondelo gwa a Yeshu Kilishitu.
who testified to the message of God and to the testimony to Jesus Christ, omitting nothing of what he had seen.
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 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 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,
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 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, 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 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 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 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.
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 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, the God who is, and who was, and who will be, 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, 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 Bhai, lyubha limo lya Bhakulungwa, nili ng'umbelwe naka Mbumu, gumbilikene lilobhe likulungwa mbuti lya lipenga kunyuma jangu
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 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.”
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 Penepo nigundendebhwishe nole, ni gani abheleketaga na nne. Ngatendebhusheje niguniibhwene itengu shabha ya kandili ya shaabhu.
I turned to see what voice it was that spoke to me; and when I turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
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 lamps one like a man, in a robe reaching to his feet, and with a golden sash across his breast.
14 Ntwe gwakwe na umbo yakwe puyaaliji yanawe malinga mabhetya ga ngondolo, eu malinga ndambwe, na meyo gakwe pugaaliji malinga lilamba lya moto.
The hair of his head was as white as wool, as white as snow; his eyes were like flaming 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 brass as when molten in a furnace; his voice was like the sound of many streams,
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.
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 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 like one dead. He laid his hand on me and said – ‘Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,
19 “Bhai nnaino nnjandishe indu imuibhwene, ipali na yene ipinga koposhela kungai.
Therefore write of what you have seen and of what is happening now and of what is about to take place –
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 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.
