Revelation 1
1 Tsongolo yi Yesu Klisto yimvana Nzambi mu monisa mambu mafueti kuiza nsualu kuidi bisadi biandi. Niandi wuzabikisa mawu bu kafidisa mbasi andi kuidi kisadi kiandi Yowani.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
2 Yowani wutelimina mambu moso momo kamona kimbangi; mambu beni mawu mama: mambu ma Nzambi ayi kimbangi ki Yesu Klisto.
Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Khini yiwombo yidi kuidi woso wuntanganga ayi kuidi bobo beti wa mambu ma mbikudulu yoyi ayi bankebanga mambu momo masonama muawu bila thangu yifikimini.
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 Yowani, fidisidi mboti kuidi tsambudi di mabundu madi mu Azi: bika nlemvo ayi ndembama, bibanga yeno, bibedi kuidi mutu wowo widi, wuba ayi wunkuiza ayi bibedi kuidi tsambudi di ziphevi zidi va ntuala kundu kiandi ki kipfumu.
John to the seven Assemblies which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5 Bibedi diaka kuidi Yesu Klisto, mbangi yi kuikama, wutheti mu fuluka mu bafua ayi nyadi yi mintinu mi ntoto. Kuidi mutu wowo wukutuzolanga ayi wutukula mu masumu meto mu menga mandi,
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 wutukitula batu ba kipfumu, banganga Nzambi mu diambu di Nzambi andi ayi Dise diandi, kuba nkembo ayi zingolo mu zikhama zi khama zi mimvu! Amen. (aiōn g165)
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Tala wulembo yizi mu matuti ayi batu boso bela kummona ayi bobo kutu bantobula dionga ayi makanda moso madi va ntoto bela nionga mu diambu diandi. Nyinga, Amen!
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 Pfumu Nzambi, nkua ngolo yoso, mutu wowo widi, wuba ayi wunkuiza, kakembi: “Minu ndidi Alafa ayi Omega”.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9 Minu, Yowani, khombꞌeno ayi wumfubakana yeno va kimosi mu ziphasi, mu kipfumu, mu mvibudulu mu Yesu; minu ndiba va sanga kioki beti tedila Patimosi mu diambu di mambu ma Nzambi ayi mu diambu di kimbangi ki Yesu Klisto.
I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 Minu ndizamunu mu Pheve mu lumbu ki Pfumu ayi ndiwa mbembo yinneni ku manima mama; yawu yiba banga yi tulumbeta.
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Yawu yituba: —Mambu wulembo moni, sonika mawu mu buku yimosi ayi fidisa yawu kuidi tsambudi di mabundu mama: ku Efeso, ku Similini, ku Pelingami, ku Tiatile, ku Salide, ku Filadelifi ayi ku Lawodise.
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven Assemblies which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12 Ayi ndibaluka mu diambu di tala mutu wowo wuba ku ndiolukila. Bu ndibaluka, buna ndimona tsambudi di bima biobi beti tetika minda, biba bi nolo.
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden lampstands;
13 Va khatitsika di tsambudi di bima biobi beti tetika minda vaba mutu wumosi wudedakana banga Muana Mutu. Mutu beni wuvuata dizuela dimula ditula nate mu malu ayi wuvuata sentila yi nolo va thulu.
And in the midst of the seven lampstands one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 Ntu andi ayi zitsuki ziandi biba biphembi banga mika miphembi mi dimemi biba banga mvula yi phembi; meso mandi maba banga minlaki mi mbazu
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 ayi malu mandi maba banga sengo kibuakusu ku mfulu yi mbazu ayi mbemboꞌandi yiba banga mbembo yi minlangu minneni.
And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 Wusimba mu koko kuandi ku lubakala tsambudi di zimbuetete. Mu munuꞌandi mutotukila sabala kisekoso bumboti, kiba meno mu zindambu zizole ayi zizi kiandi kiba banga thangu yinlezama mu zingolo ziandi zioso.
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17 Bu ndimmona, ndibua va malu mandi, ndiba banga wufua, buna niandi wutula koko kuandi ku lubakala va minu ayi wukhamba: —Bika mona tsisi. Minu wutheti ayi wutsuka
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
19 Diawu, sonika mambu moso momo mueni ayi mambu momo madi ayi mambu momo mafueti kuiza; mama bu maviokidi.
Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
20 Tsundu yi mansueki ma tsambudi di zimbuetete ziozi mueni mu koko kuama ku lubakala ayi tsambudi di bima biobi beti tetika minda, biobi biba bi nolo yawu yayi: tsambudi di zimbuetete yinsundula zimbasi zi tsambudi di mabundu bosi tsambudi di bima biobi beti tetika minda yinsundula tsambudi di mabundu.
The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven Assemblies: and the seven lampstands which thou sawest are the seven Assemblies.
