Revelation 1
1 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, John,
Eechi nchiyunuzyo cha Jesu Kkilisito eecho Leza nchakamupa kuti atondeezye balanda bakwe zintu zizochika chakufwambaana, wakazibisya makani aaya watuma angelo kumulanda wakwe Joni.
2 who testified to God’s word and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.
Joni wakalungulula makani aa Leza abukamboni bwa Jesu Kkilisito, azintu zyoonse nzyakabona.
3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is near.
Uli aacholwe uubala businsimi oobu ajwi pati abaabo balemeka zilembedwe mulimbubo, nkaambo chiindi chaba aafwiifwi.
4 John, to the seven assemblies that are 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;
Joni, kumbungano zili musanu azibili zili mu Eziya: Luzyalo ngalube kuli ndinywe aluumuno luzwa kuli yooyo uliwo, lwakaliwo ooyo uuza, akuzwa kumyuuya ili musanu ayibili iimikila kuchuuno chakwe,
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—
akuzwa kuli Jesu Kkilisito, ooyo ulinguwe kamboni wakasimpe, mwana mutaanzi kuzwa kubafu, mpawo kali mweendelezi wabami baansi. Kulinguwe ooyo utuyanda watugwisya kuzwa muzibi zyesu abulowa bwakwe -
6 and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
wakatuchita kuba ba Pulisita babwami, bawisi Leza wakwe a wisikuli nguwe kube bulemu a nguzu mane kukabe kutamani. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
Ngamulange, ulaza amayoba; meso woonse azoomubona kubikilizya aamwi abaabo bakamuyasa. Misyobo yamunyika izoolila nkaambo kanguwe. Iiyi, Ameni.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
“Ndime Alufa a Omega,” mbaamba Mwami Leza, ngunguwe uliwo, wakaliwo, ngunguwe uuza, Singuzu zyoonse.”
9 I John, your brother and partner with you in the oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God’s Word and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Ime, nindaba Joni, monyoko unookwaabilana andinywe mukupenzegwa amubwami, amumoyo mulamfu zili muli Jesu - ndakali aa kasuwa kategwa Patimosi nkaambo kajwi lya Leza abukamboni bwa Mwami Jesu.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
Ndakali mumuuya mubuzuba bwa Mwami. Ndakamvwa jwi pati kusule lyangu lili mbuli mweembo.
11 saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
Lyakat, “Lemba nzwaabona mubbuku, mpawo uziotumizye kumbungano zili musanui azibili - ku Efeso, ku Similina, ku Pegamumu, ku Siyatila, ku Sadisi, ku Filadelufuya aku Lawodesiya.”
12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
Ndakacheba kuti ndibone kuti ngwani unukwambuula aandime, lino nindakacheba ndakabona zibikilo zyamampi zyangolida zilimusanu azibili.
13 And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
Aakati kazikilo eezi zyamalampi zyamalampi kwali umwi wakali mbuli mwana wamuntu kasamide dembo damfu lyakalikusika kumawulu aakwe amwiingwa nkwa wangolida kuzyungulukide kaango kakwe.
14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
Mutwe wakwe amasusu aakwe aakali kutuba mbuli buluba- kuta mbuli sikunku ameso aakwe akali mbuli mulilo.
15 His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
Mawulu aakwe aakali mbuli nsimbi yananikwa, mbuli nsimbi yasunkwa mumvuto yamulilo, ajwi lyakwe lyakali mbuli kuvuuma kwameenda mayingi.
16 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
Wakalijisi nyenyezi zili musanu azibili kuluboko lwakwe lwalulyo. Mumulomo wakwe mwakazwa panga libosya koonse koonse. Busyu bwakwe bwakali kumweka mbuli zuba libalisya loko.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last,
Nindakamubona ndakawida ndakawida kumawulu aakwe mbuli muntu mufwide. Wakabika luboko lwakwe lwalulyo aalindime mpawo wakati, “Utayoowi. Ndime matalikilo amamanino
19 Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.
Nkikaako lemba ansi nzwaabona, chiliwo lino achizoochitika kuzwa aawa.
20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.
Bupanduluzi busisikene bwaamba nyenyezi zili musanu azibili nzwaabona muluboko lwangu lwalulyo, azibikilo zyangolida zili musanu azibili: Nyenyezi zili musanu azibili mbaangelo bambungano zili musanu azibili alazyo zibikilo zyamalampi zili musanu azibil, ni mbungano zili musanu azibili.”
