Ugubukulo 1
1 Wenuwu ndi ugubukulo wa Yesu Kilisitu weapewili na Chapanga muni avalangisa vatumisi vaki, mambu gegihumila papipi. Kilisitu amtumili mtumu waki wa kunani kwa Chapanga ammanyisa muhengaji waki Yohani mambu ago.
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
2 Mwene Yohani alolili kuvala ujumbi wa Chapanga na ndava ya Lilovi la Chapanga, na uchakaka wewajoviwi na Yesu Kilisitu.
who testified to the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.
3 Amotisiwi yula mweisoma malovi ga ulota wa Chapanga na kuyuwana na kugalanda gala gegayandikwi muchitabu ichi, muni lukumbi lwa kuhumila mambu ago luvi papipi.
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep what is written in it, for the time is near.
4 Nene Yohani nikuvayandikila misambi saba ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va mulima wa Asia. Nikuvaganila ubwina na uteke kuhuma kwa Chapanga mweavili na mweavi na mweibwela, na kuhuma kwa mipungu saba palongolo ya chigoda chaki cha magono goha gangali mwishu,
John to the seven churches in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne,
5 na kuhuma kwa Yesu Kilisitu. Mwene ndi mwetijova ndava yaki msadikika na ndi wa kutumbula mweayukiswi kuhuma kwa vevafwili, mewawa mwene ndi Nkosi wa vankosi va pamulima. Mwene akutigana na kwa ngasi yaki atilekekisi hulu mabudilu gitu.
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and washed us from our sins with his blood
6 Atihengili tete tavankosi na vamteta va Chapanga muni tihengela Chapanga, muni vavalongosa vandu va milima yoha, Dadi waki. Kwaki Yesu Kilisitu uvya ukulu na makakala, magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (aiōn g165)
and made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Lola! Mwene ibwela mumahundi! Kila mundu yati akumlola, hati vala vevambowili kwa mgoha. Na ndava yaki vandu voha pamulima yati vivembeneka ndava yaki! Ena.
Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. So shall it be! Amen.
8 Ijova Bambu Chapanga, mweavi na uhotola woha, mweavili na mweavi na mweibwela, “Nene ndi Mtumbula na wamwishu wa vindu vyoha.”
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
9 Nene Yohani mlongo winu nihanganila na nyenye mumaing'aiso na muunkosi wa Chapanga na mukusindimala ndava ya kumsadika Yesu Kilisitu. Nene napelikwi kuchifungu pachisiwa cha Patimo ndava navakokosili vandu Lilovi la Chapanga na kudandaula mambu ga Yesu.
I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation, kingdom, and endurance that are in Christ Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 Muligono la Bambu mukulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi, nayuwini lwami luvaha mumbele yangu, lwami ngati lipenenga.
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like that of a trumpet,
11 Yajovili, “Yandikayi muchitabu gala geukugalola, kangi uchipeleka kwa misambi saba ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu pamiji ya ku Efeso na Simulina na Peliganoni na Tuatila na Salide na Fidalefia pamonga na Laodikea.”
saying, “Write what yoʋ see in a book and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12 Hinu, nanga'anamwiki muni nilola mweijova na nene. Ndi penang'anamwiki, nawene vibokoselu saba vya kuvikila hahi za zahabu,
Then I turned in that direction to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 na pagati yaki namuwene mmonga mweavi ngati mundu, awalili ligwanda litali na mkungi wa zahabu panganga yaki.
and in the midst of the seven lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash wrapped around his chest.
14 Mayunju gaki gavi gamsopi pehe, mihu gaki gang'asimi ngati motu wewiyaka,
His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire,
15 magendelu gaki ngati shaba yeying'asima na yeyinyambiswi bwina mumotu, na lwami lwaki lwavi ngati mbulumo lwa manji gegihelela.
his feet were like burnished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.
16 Muchiwoko chaki cha kulyela avi na ndondo saba, na mumlomo waki mwahumili upanga weutema pandi zoha. Pamihu paki gang'asimi ngati lilanga leliyaka neju.
In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in its strength.
17 Lukumbi, panakamuwene ndu, nagwili palongolo ya magendelu gaki ngati mundu mweafwili. Nambu mwene akapamisa chiwoko chaki cha kulyela panani yangu, akajova, ukotoka kuyogopa! Nene ndi wa kutumbula na mwishu wa vindu vyoha.
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. But he placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last,
19 Hinu yandika mambu aga geukugawona, mambu gegihumila hinu na gala gegihumila mwanakandahi.
Therefore write what yoʋ have seen, what is now and what will take place after this.
20 Wenuwu ndi mfiyu wa ndondo zila saba zeuziwene muchiwoko changu cha kulyela na vila vindu saba vya zahabu: Zila ndondo saba ndi vamitumu pa misambi saba ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu, na vibokoselu vila saba, ndi misambi yene saba ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
This is the mystery of the seven stars that yoʋ saw in my right hand and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
