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 to him, to point out unto his servants the things which must needs come to pass with speed, —and he shewed them by signs, sending through his messenger, 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 witness as to the word of God, and the witness of Jesus Christ, —whatsoever things 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.
Happy! he that readeth, and they who hear, the words of the prophecy, and keep the things, therein, written; for, the season, is, near.
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, unto the Seven Assemblies which are in Asia, Favour to you, and peace, from—Him who Is, and who Was, and who is Coming, 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, —The Faithful Witness, The Firstborn of the Dead, and The Ruler of the Kings of the Earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us out of our sins with his 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 he hath made us [to be] a kingdom—priests unto his God and Father, Unto him, be the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages. 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!
Lo! he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, such also as pierced him; and all the tribes of the land shall smite themselves for him. Yea! Amen.
8 Pfumu Nzambi, nkua ngolo yoso, mutu wowo widi, wuba ayi wunkuiza, kakembi: “Minu ndidi Alafa ayi Omega”.
I, am, the A, and, the Z, saith the Lord, —the, God who Is, and who Was, and who is Coming, 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, your brother, and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, came to be in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and the witness of Jesus.
10 Minu ndizamunu mu Pheve mu lumbu ki Pfumu ayi ndiwa mbembo yinneni ku manima mama; yawu yiba banga yi tulumbeta.
I came to be, in Spirit, in the Lord’s Day, and heard, behind me, a loud 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—What thou seest, write in a scroll, and send unto the Seven Assemblies, —unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, —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 round, to see the Voice which was speaking with me, and, having turned, I saw Seven Lamps of gold;
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 lamps, One like unto a Son of Man: —clothed with a robe, reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a girdle of gold,
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
And his head and hair, white, like white wool—like snow, and, his eyes, like 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 glowing copper, as if in a furnace refined, and, his voice, like a 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, having in his right hand, seven stars, and, out of his mouth, a sharp, two-edged sword, going forth; and, his whole appearance, as when, the sun, shineth in its 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—Do not fear! 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, therefore—what things thou hast seen and what they are; and what things are about to come to pass, after these things:
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 sacred secret of the seven stars, which thou sawest upon my right hand, and the seven lamps of gold: —The seven stars, are, messengers of the seven assemblies, and, the seven lamps, are, seven assemblies
