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,
Gweguno ni nng'ibhulo gwa a Yeshu Kilishitu gubhapegwilwe na a Nnungu, nkupinga bhaalanguyanje bhatumishi bhabho indu ipinga koposhela shangupe. Bhashinkulangula yene indui kwa kuntuma malaika jwabho kwa a Yowana bhatumishi bhabho,
2 who testified to God’s word and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.
bhenebho bhakong'ondele ga kila shindu shibhashibhwene, ga lilobhe lya a Nnungu na ukong'ondelo gwa a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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.
Apegwe mboka jwene akwaashomelanga nnikanisha malobhe ga gweguno ukulondola guno, nneila peila bhapegwanje mboka bhene bhaapilikananga na kugabhika muntima gajandikwe mwemuno gano, pabha malanga gabhandishile.
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;
Nne a Yowana ngunakugajandishila makanisha shabha gali kunkoa gwa Ashia. Ngunakumpinjilanga nema na ulele kukopoka kwa a Nnungu bhapali, bhaapali na bhaapinga kwiya kukoposhela kwa ashi Mbumu shabha bhalinginji mmujo ja shitengu sha upalume,
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 kwa a Yeshu Kilishitu bhaakong'ondela bhaakulupalika, bhali bha lyelo ku bhawilenje, na bhakulungwa bha bhapalume bha pa shilambolyo. Bhenebho bhanakutupinga na bhashikututakaya yambi yetu kwa minyai jabho,
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)
ni gubhatutendile uwe kubha upalume gwa bhaabhishila nkupinga twaatendele liengo a Nnungu, bhali aina bhabho. Ukonjelo na mashili ibhe na bhenebho piti piti, amina. (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.
Nnole bhenebho bhanakwiya na maunde na kila mundu shaabhabhone nkali bhene bhaaomilenje lipanga bhala, na ilambo yowe ya pashilambolyo shiigutanjile kwa ligongo lyabho. Elo nneyo ni shiipinga kubha.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Bhakulungwa a Nnungu Bhakwete Mashili bhakuti, “Nne ni jwa ntai na jwa mpelo, mbali, naapali na mbinga kwiya.”
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.
Nne a Yowana nankukulupalila nnjenunji, nili mmboteko pamo na mmanganyanji muupalme gwa a Nnungu na nkupunda kwiipililila, nashinkubhikwa jikape ku shilambo shitimbililwe na mashi shiishemwa Patimo kwa ligongo lya lunguya lilobhe lya a Nnugnu na kong'ondela ga a Yeshu.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
Bhai, lyubha limo lya Bhakulungwa, nili ng'umbelwe naka Mbumu, gumbilikene lilobhe likulungwa mbuti lya lipenga kunyuma jangu
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.”
lilinkuti, “Nnjandishe nshitabhu gowe gunkugabhonaga, npeleshe ku makanisha shabha, yani ku Epesho, na ku Shimilina, na ku Peligamo, na ku Tiatila, na ku Shalidi, na ku Piladelipia, na ku Laodikia.”
12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
Penepo nigundendebhwishe nole, ni gani abheleketaga na nne. Ngatendebhusheje niguniibhwene itengu shabha ya kandili ya shaabhu.
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.
Pakati pakati yene itengu ya kandili ila, nigunaabhwene bhandu bhamo malinga Mwana jwa Mundu, awete likoti lya lileu na nshipi gwa shaabhu pa ntima.
14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
Ntwe gwakwe na umbo yakwe puyaaliji yanawe malinga mabhetya ga ngondolo, eu malinga ndambwe, na meyo gakwe pugaaliji malinga lilamba lya moto.
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.
Makotwa gakwe pugaaliji malinga shitale shiukengwe kaje, eu mbuti shijoshilwe pa moto gwa shipala, na lilobhe lyakwe pulyaaliji malinga mabhimbili ga mashi gamagwinji.
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.
Munkono gwakwe gwa nnilo ashinkukamulila ndondwa shabha, na nkangw'a jakwe ushinkukopoka upanga gwa tema akuno na kukuno. Lubhombo lwakwe luliimelemeta kwa kaje, mbuti lyubha lya nakalanga.
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,
Ngaabhoneje ngugwaga pa makongono gabho mbuti mundu awile. Penepo nigubhamishile nkono gwabho gwa nnilo bhalinkuti, “Nnajogope, Nne ni na jwa ntai na jwa mpelo.
19 Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.
“Bhai nnaino nnjandishe indu imuibhwene, ipali na yene ipinga koposhela kungai.
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.
Ga shinjubhi sha yene ndondwa shabha imuibhwene munkono gwangu gwa nnilo ila, na itengu shabha ya kandili ya shaabhu ni nnei, ndondwa shabha ila ni ashimalaika bha Makanisha shabha, na itengu shabha ila, ni Makanisha shabha.”
