Ufunuo 1
1 Huu ni ufunuo wa Yesu Kristo ambao Mungu alimpa ili kuwaonesha watumishi wake mambo ambayo lazima yatokee karibuni. Aliyafanya yajulikane kwa kumtuma malaika wake kwa mtumishi wake Yohana.
The Reuelation of Iesus Christ, which God gaue vnto him, to shewe vnto his seruants things which must shortly be done: which he sent, and shewed by his Angel vnto his seruant Iohn,
2 Yohana alitoa ushuhuda wa kila kitu alichoona kuhusiana na neno la Mungu na kwa ushuhuda uliotolewa kuhusu Yesu Kristo.
Who bare record of ye word of God, and of the testimonie of Iesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Amebarikiwa yeye asomaye kwa sauti na wale wote wanaoyasikia maneno ya unabii huu na kutii kilichoandikwa humo, kwa sababu muda umekaribia.
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that heare the wordes of this prophecie, and keepe those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 Yohana, kwa makanisa saba yaliyoko Asia: neema iwe kwenu na amani kutoka kwake aliyepo, aliyekuwepo, na atakayekuja, na kutoka kwa roho saba walio mbele ya kiti chake cha enzi,
Iohn, to the seuen Churches which are in Asia, Grace be with you, and peace from him, Which is, and Which was, and Which is to come, and from the seuen Spirits which are before his Throne,
5 na kutoka kwa Yesu Kristo ambaye ni shahidi mwaminifu, mzaliwa wa kwanza wa waliokufa, na mtawala wa wafalme wa dunia hii. Kwake yeye atupendaye na ametuweka huru kutoka katika dhambi zetu kwa damu yake,
And from Iesus Christ, which is that faithful witnes, and that first begotten of the dead, and that Prince of the Kings of the earth, vnto him that loued vs, and washed vs from our sinnes in his blood,
6 ametufanya kuwa ufalme, makuhani wa Mungu na Baba yake - kwake kuwa utukufu na nguvu milele daima. Amina. (aiōn g165)
And made vs Kings and Priests vnto God euen his Father, to him I say be glory, and dominion for euermore, Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Tazama, anakuja na mawingu; kila jicho litamwona, pamoja na wote waliomchoma. Na kabila zote za dunia wataomboleza kwake. Ndiyo, Amina.
Beholde, he commeth with cloudes, and euery eye shall see him: yea, euen they which pearced him thorowe: and all kinreds of the earth shall waile before him, Euen so, Amen.
8 “Mimi ni Alfa na Omega,” asema Bwana Mungu, “Yeye aliyepo, na aliyekuwepo, na ambaye anakuja, Mwenye nguvu.”
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, Which is, and Which was, and Which is to come, euen the Almightie.
9 Mimi, Yohana - ndugu yenu na mmoja anayeshiriki pamoja nanyi katika mateso na ufalme na uvumilivu thabiti ulio katika Yesu; nilikuwa katika kisiwa kiitwacho Patimo kwa sababu ya neno la Mungu na ushuhuda kuhusu Yesu.
I Iohn, euen your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdome and patience of Iesus Christ, was in the yle called Patmos, for the worde of God, and for the witnessing of Iesus Christ.
10 Nilikuwa katika Roho siku ya Bwana. Nilisikia nyuma yangu sauti ya juu kama ya tarumbeta,
And I was rauished in spirit on the Lordes day, and heard behinde me a great voyce, as it had bene of a trumpet,
11 ikisema, “andika katika kitabu unayo yaona, na uyatume kwa makanisa saba, kwenda Efeso, kwenda Smirna, kwenda Pergamo, kwenda Thiatira, kwenda Sardi, kwenda Philadelphia, na kwenda Laodikia.”
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, that first and that last: and that which thou seest, write in a booke, and send it vnto the seuen Churches which are in Asia, vnto Ephesus, and vnto Smyrna, and vnto Pergamus, and vnto Thyatira, and vnto Sardis, and vnto Philadelphia, and vnto Laodicea.
12 Nikageuka kuona ni sauti ya nani aliyekuwa akiongea nami, na nilipogeuka niliona kinara cha dhahabu cha taa saba.
Then I turned backe to see the voyce, that spake with me: and when I was turned, I sawe seuen golden candlestickes,
13 Katikati ya kinara cha taa alikuwemo mmoja kama Mwana wa Adamu, amevaa kanzu ndefu iliyofika chini ya miguu yake, na mkanda wa dhababu kuzunguka kifua chake.
And in the middes of the seuen candlestickes, one like vnto the Sonne of man, clothed with a garment downe to the feete, and girded about the pappes with a golden girdle.
14 Kichwa chake na nywele zake zilikuwa nyeupe kama sufu nyeupe kama theluji, na macho yake yalikuwa kama mwali wa moto.
His head, and heares were white as white wooll, and as snowe, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,
15 Nyayo zake zilikuwa kama shaba iliyosuguliwa sana, kama shaba ambayo imekwisha pitishwa katika moto, na sauti yake ilikuwa kama sauti ya maji mengi yanayotiririka kwa kasi.
And his feete like vnto fine brasse, burning as in a fornace: and his voyce as the sounde of many waters.
16 Alikuwa ameshikilia nyota saba katika mkono wake wa kuume, na kutoka kinywani mwake kulikuwa na upanga mkali wenye makali kuwili. Uso wake ulikuwa uking'aa kama mwanga mkali wa jua.
And he had in his right hand seuen starres: and out of his mouth went a sharpe two edged sword: and his face shone as the sunne shineth in his strength.
17 Nilipomwona, nikaanguka miguuni pake kama mtu aliyekufa. Akaweka mkono wake wa kulia juu yangu na kusema, “Usiogope! Mimi ni wa kwanza na wa Mwisho,
And when I saw him, I fell at his feete as dead: then he laid his right hand vpon me, saying vnto me, Feare not: I am that first and that last,
19 Kwa hiyo, yaandike uliyoyaona, yaliyopo sasa, na yale yatakayotokea baada ya haya.
Write the things which thou hast seene, and the things which are, and the things which shall come hereafter.
20 Kwa maana iliyojificha kuhusu nyota saba ulizoziona katika mkono wangu wa kuume, na kile kinara cha dhahabu cha taa saba: nyota saba ni malaika wa yale makanisa saba, na kinara cha taa saba ni yale makanisa saba.”
The misterie of the seuen starres which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seuen golden candlestickes, is this, The seuen starres are the Angels of the seuen Churches: and the seuen candlestickes which thou sawest, are the seuen Churches.
