< 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.
A revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants the things which must shortly be; and sending by his messenger, he signified them to his servant John,
2 O Yohana ayanjile wahala hahalolile hahahusina nizu elwa Ngolobhe gayanjili gafumiziwe ahusu oYesu Kilisti.
who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, whatever he saw.
3 Asaiwe oyo yamanyila yauje sana nabhala bhoti bhabahgovwa amazu gakuuha ega nahwogope gagasimbilwe omwo, afwatanaje omuda gupalamie.
Happy is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; for the time is at hand.
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,
John, to the seven congregation which are in Asia; favor and peace be with you, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which 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 first born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who has loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 atibheshele aje umwene ougosi wa Ngolobhe no Baba wakwe - hwamwene zuvyo neguvu wilawila hani lyoli. Amina. (aiōn )
and has made us kings and priests to his God and Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
7 Enya, ehwenza namabhengo; kila liso libhahulole, pandwemo na bhala bhonti bhabhalese. Na makabela gonti ege nsi. Bailila hwa mwene. Lyoli, Amina.
Behold, he is coming in the clouds; and every eye shall see him, even they who pierced him: and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn because of him. Yes: so let it be.
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, who is, and who was, and who is to come, 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 also your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, for the sake of the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 Ehali hu Mpepo isiku elya Gosi. ehonvweze hunyumayane esauti yapamwanya eye itarumbeta,
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard a great voice behind me, as 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.”
saying, What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven congregations; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
12 Nagaluhana ahwenje aje sauti yananu yayangaga nane, nanagaluha nahalola ishinala eshedhahabu eshetaa saba.
And I turned to see the voice which spoke to me, and being 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 seven lamps, one like a Son of Man, clothed in a long robe, and girded about the breasts with a golden girdle.
14 Itwe lyakwe nisisi lyakwe zyalinyini nashi ahantu ahazelu nashi ebalafu, na maso gakwe gali nashi omelegwe mwoto.
His head, even his hairs, were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of 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 like fine brass, when glowing in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;
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.
and he had in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth there went a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as the sun, when he shines in his strength.
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 down at his feet, as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, and said, Fear not; I am the First and the Last;
18 nanewendi ekhala. Ehali efwiye, lelo enya, ekhala wilawila! Endine nfukulo ezye nfwa na wilongo. (aiōn , Hadēs )
I am he who lives and was dead; and behold, I am living for ever and ever; and I have the keys of the unseen world, and of death. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Esho yasimbe gogalolile gagali eshi na galagagabhafumile pega.
Write the things which you see, even those which are, and the things which shall be hereafter.
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.”
As to the hidden meaning of the seven stars, which you see in my right hand, and of the seven lamps of gold: the seven stars are messengers of the seven congregations; and the seven lamps which you see, are seven congregations.
