This is the Revelation of Yeshua the Messiah, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, Yochanan,
2 na Yohani kalongiti goseri gakagawoniti. Na avi ndo visoweru vya Mlungu na ukapitawu wa Yesu Kristu.
who testified to God’s word and of the testimony of Yeshua the Messiah, about everything that he saw.
3 Mbaka yakuwi muntu yakashibetula shintola ashi shashiwera na Visoweru vya umbuyi wa Mlungu na mbaka yawu yawapikanira na kukola yagalembitwi amu, toziya shipindi sha vitwatira avi shapakwegera.
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is near.
4 Neni Yohani nuvilembiriti vipinga saba vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu vya aku Asiya. Nuwapanana manemu na ponga kulawa kwa yomberi yakaweriti, yakawera na yakiza na kulawa kwa rohu saba yawawera palongolu pa shibanta shakuwi sha ukulu,
Yochanan, to the seven assemblies that are 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 kulawa kwa Yesu Kristu kapitawu mwaminika, mwiwuku gwa kwanja gwa woseri hawiwuki kwa ukomu wa syayi kulaa kwawahowiti na yomberi ndo mkolamlima gwa wafalumi wa pasipanu. Yomberi katufira na kwa mwazi gwakuwi katuyopola kulawa ntawaliru ya vidoda vyetu,
and from Yeshua the Messiah, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—
6 na katunyawa tuweri ufalumi na watambika wakumtendera Mlungu Tati gwakuwi. Kwakuwi Yesu Kristu uweri ukwisa na makakala, mashaka goseri! Yina hangu. (aiōn g165)
and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Guloli! Kankwiza mumawundi! Kila lisu halimwoni na ata walii yawamtoboliti. Makabila goseri pasipanu hagagutangi kwajili ya yomberi. Yina! Yina hangu.
Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
8 “Neni ndo gwa kwanja na gwa upeleru wa vitwatira vyoseri.” Kalonga Mtuwa Mlungu yakawera na makakala goseri, yakawera, yakaweriti na yakiza.
“I am the Alef and the Tav,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
9 Neni Yohani, mlongu gwenu mungati mwa Yesu, kwa kulikonaziya pamuhera na Yesu, ntenda pamuhera na mwenga kutabika na ufalumi wakuwi na uhepelera. Neni ntulitwi pakati pashisiwa shawashema Patimu panwera mtatilwa toziya ya kubwera Shisoweru sha Mlungu na upitawulira wa Yesu.
I Yochanan, your brother and partner with you in the oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Messiah Yeshua, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God’s Word and the testimony of Yeshua the Messiah.
10 Su shipindi shimu, lishaka lya Mtuwa, nkolitwi na Rohu, mpikanira kumbeli kwaneni liziwu likulu gambira mbalapi.
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a shofar
11 Nalyeni lilongiti, “Gugalembi mushintola galii gagugawona, gushijegi kwa vipinga avi saba vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu kwa Efesu na kwa Simurina na kwa Perigamu na kwa Tuatira na kwa Saridi na kwa Filadefiya pamuhera na Laudikiya.”
saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12 Su ngalambukiti numuloli ulii yakatakuliti na neni, mona vintambi saba vya vimuliku vya zaabu,
I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
13 na pakati pakuwi pavintambi kuweriti na shintu gambira muntu, yomberi kaweriti kavala lihabiti litali mpaka mumagulu na lushigi lwa zaabu pashifuwa.
And amongst the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
14 Nvili zyakuwi ziweriti mfufu mbuu, masu gakuwi gang'ereng'etiti gambira mbamba zya motu,
His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
15 magulu gakuwi gambira shaba yawamerimeziyiti na kuyigulula mulitanuru lya motu, na liziwu lyakuwi gambira mputu.
His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
16 Muliwoku lyakuwi lya kumliwu paweriti na ntondu saba na mumlomu mwakuwi mlawiriti upanga yawuwera na makola kuwili. Sheni shakuwi shing'ereng'eta gambira mshenji gukalipa nentu.
He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
17 Su panumwoniti hera, nguwiti palongolu pa magulu gakuwi gambira mawuti. Kumbiti yomberi katula liwoku lyakuwi lya kumliwu pampindi paneni, kalonga, “Guleki kutira! Neni ndo gwa kwanja na gwa upeleru.
When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last,
19 Su vinu gulembi vitwatira avi vyaguviwona, vitwatira vyavilawira vinu na vilii havilawili shakapanu.”
Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.
20 Bada zya ntondu saba zilii zyaguziwoniti pakati pa liwoku lyaneni lya kumliwu na vilii vintambi saba vya vimuliku vya zaabu, ndo wantumintumi wa kumpindi wa vipinga saba vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu.
The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.
