< 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,
Wenuwu ndi ugubukulo wa Yesu Kilisitu weapewili na Chapanga muni avalangisa vatumisi vaki, mambu gegihumila papipi. Kilisitu amtumili mtumu waki wa kunani kwa Chapanga ammanyisa muhengaji waki Yohani mambu ago.
2 who testified to God’s word and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.
Mwene Yohani alolili kuvala ujumbi wa Chapanga na ndava ya Lilovi la Chapanga, na uchakaka wewajoviwi na Yesu Kilisitu.
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.
Amotisiwi yula mweisoma malovi ga ulota wa Chapanga na kuyuwana na kugalanda gala gegayandikwi muchitabu ichi, muni lukumbi lwa kuhumila mambu ago luvi papipi.
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;
Nene Yohani nikuvayandikila misambi saba ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va mulima wa Asia. Nikuvaganila ubwina na uteke kuhuma kwa Chapanga mweavili na mweavi na mweibwela, na kuhuma kwa mipungu saba palongolo ya chigoda chaki cha magono goha gangali mwishu,
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—
na kuhuma kwa Yesu Kilisitu. Mwene ndi mwetijova ndava yaki msadikika na ndi wa kutumbula mweayukiswi kuhuma kwa vevafwili, mewawa mwene ndi Nkosi wa vankosi va pamulima. Mwene akutigana na kwa ngasi yaki atilekekisi hulu mabudilu gitu.
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)
Atihengili tete tavankosi na vamteta va Chapanga muni tihengela Chapanga, muni vavalongosa vandu va milima yoha, Dadi waki. Kwaki Yesu Kilisitu uvya ukulu na makakala, magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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.
Lola! Mwene ibwela mumahundi! Kila mundu yati akumlola, hati vala vevambowili kwa mgoha. Na ndava yaki vandu voha pamulima yati vivembeneka ndava yaki! Ena.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Ijova Bambu Chapanga, mweavi na uhotola woha, mweavili na mweavi na mweibwela, “Nene ndi Mtumbula na wamwishu wa vindu vyoha.”
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.
Nene Yohani mlongo winu nihanganila na nyenye mumaing'aiso na muunkosi wa Chapanga na mukusindimala ndava ya kumsadika Yesu Kilisitu. Nene napelikwi kuchifungu pachisiwa cha Patimo ndava navakokosili vandu Lilovi la Chapanga na kudandaula mambu ga Yesu.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
Muligono la Bambu mukulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi, nayuwini lwami luvaha mumbele yangu, lwami ngati lipenenga.
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.”
Yajovili, “Yandikayi muchitabu gala geukugalola, kangi uchipeleka kwa misambi saba ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu pamiji ya ku Efeso na Simulina na Peliganoni na Tuatila na Salide na Fidalefia pamonga na Laodikea.”
12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
Hinu, nanga'anamwiki muni nilola mweijova na nene. Ndi penang'anamwiki, nawene vibokoselu saba vya kuvikila hahi za zahabu,
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.
na pagati yaki namuwene mmonga mweavi ngati mundu, awalili ligwanda litali na mkungi wa zahabu panganga yaki.
14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
Mayunju gaki gavi gamsopi pehe, mihu gaki gang'asimi ngati motu wewiyaka,
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.
magendelu gaki ngati shaba yeying'asima na yeyinyambiswi bwina mumotu, na lwami lwaki lwavi ngati mbulumo lwa manji gegihelela.
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.
Muchiwoko chaki cha kulyela avi na ndondo saba, na mumlomo waki mwahumili upanga weutema pandi zoha. Pamihu paki gang'asimi ngati lilanga leliyaka neju.
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,
Lukumbi, panakamuwene ndu, nagwili palongolo ya magendelu gaki ngati mundu mweafwili. Nambu mwene akapamisa chiwoko chaki cha kulyela panani yangu, akajova, ukotoka kuyogopa! Nene ndi wa kutumbula na mwishu wa vindu vyoha.
18 and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
Nene ndi mwenivi mumi! Nafwili, nambu, lola hinu ndi namumi magono goha gangali mwishu. Nivii na uhotola wa lifwa na mulima wa vandu vevafwili. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
19 Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.
Hinu yandika mambu aga geukugawona, mambu gegihumila hinu na gala gegihumila mwanakandahi.
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.
Wenuwu ndi mfiyu wa ndondo zila saba zeuziwene muchiwoko changu cha kulyela na vila vindu saba vya zahabu: Zila ndondo saba ndi vamitumu pa misambi saba ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu, na vibokoselu vila saba, ndi misambi yene saba ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
