1 Uluo lwe lusetulilo lwa Yesu Kilisite luno u Nguluve akam'pelile ulwakuuti kukuvasona avavombi vaake siino silihumila un'siki n'debe ghuno ghu kwisa. Alyavombile sivoneke pavuvalafu akamwomola u nyamola ghwa mwene u m'bombi ghwa mwene u Yohana.
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 U Yohana alyahumisie uvwolesi vwa fiinu fyoni fino alya fivwene vwimila vwa lisio lya Nguluve nu vwolesi vuno vukahumisivue vwimila Yesu Kilisite.
who testified to the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.
3 Afunyilue umwene juno ikwimba ni lisio vooni vala vano vikughapulika amasio gha vuvili uuvu na kuleva kino kilembilue muno, ulwakuva un'siki ghu seghelile.
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 U Yohana ku ng'ong'ano lekela lubale sino sili ku Asia: ulusungu luvisaghe kulyumue nulutengano kuhuma kwa mwene juno kwale, juno kwa lyale, najuno ilikwisa, na kuhuma ku mhepo lekela lubale sino silikuvulongolo kya mwene ikya vutua,
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 kuhuma kwa Yesu Kilisite juno ghwe mwolesi umpesie, umolua ghwa kutengula kuvano valya fwile, nu ntemi ghwa ntua mu iisi iji. Kwamwene juno atughanile kange atubikile vwavuke kuhuma mu nyivi siitu kuhuma mu danda jaake,
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 atuvikile kuva vatua, vatekesi va Nguluve nu viise ghwa mwene - kwa mwene kuuva vwimike ni ngufu kisila na kusila. Ameni. (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 Lolagha, ikwisa na mafunde; kila liso likumwagha, palikimo navooni vano valyamomile. Nifisina fyoni ifya mu iisi vilipelepesia kwa mwene. Ena, Ameni.
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 “U ne nene Alfa kange Omega,” fye ijova u Mutwa u Nguluve, “Umwene juno kwale, najuno kwalyale, nujuno ikwisa, umunyangufu.”
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
9 Une, Yohana - nenyalukolo ghwinu nejuno nihasing'ana numue mu mumuko na muvutua na mulugudo ulupesie luno luli mwa yesu; nilyale mu kiponge kino kitambulua Patimo vwimila vwa lisio lya Nguluve nhu vwolesi vwimila u 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 Nilyale mwa Mhepo ikighono kya Mutwa. Nilya m'pulike kun'sana kulyune ilisio ilivaha ndavule ulukelema,
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like that of a trumpet,
11 jikatisagha, “Lemba mukitabu sino ghukusivona, ughasung'e mu ng'ong'ano lekela lubale, kuluta ku Efeso, kuluta ku Smirna, kuluta ku Pergamo, kuluta ku Thiatira, kuluta ku Sardi, kuluta ku Philadelphia, nakuluta ku Laodikia.”
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 Nikasyetuka kulola lisio lyani juno isile kujova nune, nikati nisyetuke nikakyagha ikisonge ikya sahabu nikya tala lekela lubale.
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 Pakate na kati pa kisonge ikya tala pe alyale jumo umwana ghwa Adamu, afwalile isopeka inali jinojilya dughile musajo sa mwene, nu nkanda ghwa sahabu kusunguta ikifuva kyamwene.
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 Umutu ghwamwene ni linyele lya mwene lilyale livalafu hwene hamba imbalafu hwene vutine vwa ng'ala, nagha maso gha mwene ghalyale ghimulika hwene lulapi lwa mwoto.
His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire,
15 Isajo samwene silyale hwene shaba jino vakuuliile kyongo, hwene shaba jino jikilile mu muoto, nali lisio lyamwene lilya hwene lisio lya malenga minga ghano ghiseleleka ni ngufu.
his feet were like burnished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.
16 Alyakolelile inondue lekela lubale muluvoko lwa mwene ulwa ndyo, na kuhuma mumulomo ghwa mwene mwe jilyale ibamba inemi imbale sooni. Uvweni vwa mwene vulyale vumulika ndavule ulumuli luno lumulika kyongoo ulya lijuva.
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 Nilyatile nimwaghile, nikaghua pamaghulu gha mwene hwene muunhu juno afwile. Akavika uluvoko lwamwene lwa ndyo kulyune nakuuti, “Uloghopagha! une nilighavutengulilo nili ghwa vusililo,
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 Pa uluo, ulembaghe sino usivwene, sino pwili lino, nasino silikwila pa isi.
Therefore write what yoʋ have seen, what is now and what will take place after this.
20 Kulyune lufisime vwimila inondue lekela lubale sino usivwene kuluvoko lwango lwa ndyo, nikisonge kila ikya sahabu ikya tala lekela lubale: inondue lekela lubale vevanyamola va ng'ong'ano sila lekela lubale, ni kisonge kya tala lekela lubale se iila ing'ong'ano lekela lubale.”
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.
