Oufunuo 1
1 Owuu wigule wa Yesu Kilisiti lwashele Ongolobhe apiye abhalanje abhembombo bhakwe ezyaje lazima zifumile nanalieshi. Agabhombile aje gabhoneshe owasontezyo ontumwa wakwe wasontezyo wakwe oYohana.
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 O Yohana ayanjile wahala hahalolile hahahusina nizu elwa Ngolobhe gayanjili gafumiziwe ahusu oYesu Kilisti.
who testified to the message of God and to the testimony to Jesus Christ, omitting nothing of what he had seen.
3 Asaiwe oyo yamanyila yauje sana nabhala bhoti bhabahgovwa amazu gakuuha ega nahwogope gagasimbilwe omwo, afwatanaje omuda gupalamie.
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 O Yohana, huu makanisa saba gagali hu Asia: owene gubhe hulimwi ne lweteshelo afume hulimwe, yahweli, yahali, nowayenza, nafume humpepo saba bhabholi witagalila witengo lyakwe elya pamwanya,
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 nafume hwa Yesu Kilisti yashele keti owelyoli, opapwa owahwande wabhala bhabha fwiye, nayakhete amwene ebhensi ene. Hwamwene oyo yatigene atibheshele shinza afume mmbibhi zyetu widanda lyakwe,
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 atibheshele aje umwene ougosi wa Ngolobhe no Baba wakwe - hwamwene zuvyo neguvu wilawila hani lyoli. 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 Enya, ehwenza namabhengo; kila liso libhahulole, pandwemo na bhala bhonti bhabhalese. Na makabela gonti ege nsi. Bailila hwa mwene. Lyoli, Amina.
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 “Omwene yohwawande no wamalezye, ayanga Ogosi Ongolobhe, “Umwene yahweli, na yahali, nayabhe ahwenza owenguvu.”
‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord, the God who is, and who was, and who will be, the Almighty.
9 Ane, ne Yohana - neholo wenyu nembapandemo namwe humateso na humwene navumilile hasa wauli hwa Yesu; ehali hukisiwa shashiliwetwa patimo husabu hwizu elya Ngolobhe noshuhuda owa 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 Ehali hu Mpepo isiku elya Gosi. ehonvweze hunyumayane esauti yapamwanya eye itarumbeta,
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 eyiga, “simba huikalata gogalola ogatume humakanisa saba, abhale wa Efeso, abhale Smirna, abhale Pergamo, abhale Thiatira, abhale Sardi, abhale Philadelphia, na abhale 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 Nagaluhana ahwenje aje sauti yananu yayangaga nane, nanagaluha nahalola ishinala eshedhahabu eshetaa saba.
I turned to see what voice it was that spoke to me; and when I turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
13 Pahati pashinala eshetaa aliomo nashi Omwana wa Adamu, akwete inkanzu itali lyalifishile pansi pamanama gakwe, nilampa lyedhahabu azyongole hushifubha shakwe.
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 Itwe lyakwe nisisi lyakwe zyalinyini nashi ahantu ahazelu nashi ebalafu, na maso gakwe gali nashi omelegwe mwoto.
The hair of his head was as white as wool, as white as snow; his eyes were like flaming fire;
15 Entondwe zyakwe nashi eshaba yesuguliwe tee, nashi eshaba yeshizenywe hu mwoto, ne sauti yakwe ehali nanshi esauti eyamenze aminji gagafuma nanali.
and his feet were like brass as when molten in a furnace; his voice was like the sound of many streams,
16 Ali khatizizye entondi saba mkhono gwakwe ogwelelo, nafume mwilomu mwakwe hwali ni panga ilyoji lyalili lyoji hwoti hubhele. Humaso gakwe hwali hulwaha nasho mwanga okhali owisanya.
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 Nenalola, nagwa mmanama gakwe nashi umntu yafwiye. Wabheha okhono gwakwe ogwelelo pamwanya pane na yanje, “Osahogope! Ane newa Hwande na wa Malishile,
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 Esho yasimbe gogalolile gagali eshi na galagagabhafumile pega.
Therefore write of what you have seen and of what is happening now and of what is about to take place –
20 Kwana gagawifisile ahusu entondwe saba zyehazilolile hukhono wane olelo, shila eshinala eshe dhahabu eshetala saba: ntondwe saba bhantumi bhagala amakanisa saba, neshinara shetala saba gagala amakanisa saba.”
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.
