Revelation 1
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, in order to make known to his servants the things that must soon occur, and which he signified by sending his Angel to his servant John;
Emoniseli kowuta na Yesu-Klisto. Nzambe apesaki Ye yango mpo ete alakisa na basali na Ye makambo oyo esengeli koya kala mingi te. Yesu-Klisto atindaki anjelu na Ye koyebisa emoniseli yango epai ya Yoane, mosali na Ye.
2 he has offered testimony to the Word of God, and whatever he saw is the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Lokola motatoli, Yoane asakolaki Liloba na Nzambe ndenge Yesu-Klisto ayebisaki ye yango; asakolaki makambo nyonso oyo amonaki.
3 Blessed is he who reads or hears the words of this Prophecy, and who keeps the things that have been written in it. For the time is near.
Esengo na moto oyo atangaka maloba ya lisakoli oyo, mpe esengo na bato oyo bayokaka maloba yango mpe babatelaka makambo oyo ekomama kati na yango, pamba te tango ekomi pene.
4 John, to the seven Churches, which are in Asia. Grace and peace to you, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are in the sight of his throne,
Yoane; Epai ya Mangomba sambo kati na etuka ya Azia: Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino, kowuta na Ye oyo azali, azalaki mpe azali koya, kowuta na milimo sambo oyo bazalaka liboso ya Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi,
5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the leader over the kings of the earth, who has loved us and has washed us from our sins with his blood,
mpe kowuta na Yesu-Klisto, Motatoli oyo akosaka te, Mosekwi ya liboso kati na bakufi, mpe Mokonzi ya bakonzi ya mokili! Epai na Ye oyo alingaka biso mpe akangolaki biso na masumu na biso na nzela ya makila na Ye,
6 and who has made us into a kingdom and into priests for God and for his Father. To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ye oyo akomisaki biso ekolo ya bakonzi mpe ya Banganga-Nzambe mpo na kosalela Nzambe, Tata na Ye: Tika ete nkembo mpe nguya ezonga epai na Ye mpo na libela na libela! Amen! (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he arrives with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, even those who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth shall lament for themselves over him. Even so. Amen.
« Botala, azali koya kati na mapata! Miso nyonso ekomona Ye, ezala bato oyo batobolaki Ye mopanzi; mpe bikolo nyonso ya mokili ekomilela-lela likolo na Ye. »
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
« Nazali Alifa mpe Omega, » elobi Nkolo Nzambe, « Ye oyo azali, azalaki, mpe azali koya, Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso. »
9 I, John, your brother, and a sharer in the tribulation and in the kingdom and in patient endurance for Christ Jesus, was on the island which is called Patmos, because of the Word of God and the testimony to Jesus.
Ngai Yoane, ndeko na bino, oyo azali kokabola elongo na bino pasi, bokonzi mpe molende kati na Yesu, nazalaki kati na esanga ya Patimosi, likolo ya Liloba na Nzambe mpe litatoli na ngai na tina na Yesu.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice, like that of a trumpet,
Na mokolo ya Nkolo, Molimo ya Nzambe asimbaki ngai, mpe nayokaki sima na ngai mongongo moko ya makasi lokola kelelo
11 saying, “What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven Churches, which are in Asia: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
koloba: « Koma na buku makambo oyo ozali komona, mpe tinda yango na Mangomba sambo oyo: Efeso, Simirne, Pergame, Tiyatire, Sarde, Filadelfi mpe Laodise. »
12 And I turned around, so as to see the voice which was speaking with me. And having turned around, I saw seven golden lampstands.
Nalukaki kobaluka mpo na koluka koyeba nani oyo azali koloba na ngai. Mpe tango nabalukaki, namonaki bitelemiselo sambo ya minda, basala na wolo.
13 And in the midst of the seven golden lampstands was one resembling the Son of man, clothed to the feet with a vestment, and wrapped to the breast with a wide belt of gold.
Mpe kati na bitelemiselo yango, ezalaki na moto moko lokola Mwana na Moto. Alataki nzambala ya molayi mpe mokaba moko ya wolo zingazinga ya tolo na Ye.
14 But his head and hair were bright, like white wool, or like snow; and his eyes were like a flame of fire;
Moto mpe suki na Ye ezalaki pembe makasi lokola mvula ya pembe. Miso na Ye ezalaki lokola moto oyo ezali kopela makasi.
15 and his feet resembled shining brass, just as in a burning furnace; and his voice was like the voice of many waters.
Makolo na Ye ezalaki lokola bronze oyo babimisi sika longwa na fulu ya moto makasi, mpe mongongo na Ye ezalaki koyokana lokola makelele ya mayi ya ebale monene.
16 And in his right hand, he held the seven stars; and from his mouth went out a sharp two-edged sword; and his face was like the sun, shining with all its might.
Na loboko na Ye ya mobali, asimbaki minzoto sambo; mpe wuta na monoko na Ye, mopanga moko bapelisa na bangambo na yango nyonso mibale ezalaki kobima. Elongi na Ye ezalaki lokola moyi, na tango oyo engalaka makasi.
17 And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet, like one who is dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.
Tango namonaki Ye, nakweyaki na makolo na Ye lokola moto akufi. Bongo asimbaki ngai na loboko na Ye ya mobali mpe alobaki na ngai: « Kobanga te! Nazali Ya liboso mpe Ya suka.
19 Therefore, write the things which you have seen, and which are, and which must occur afterward:
Yango wana, koma makambo oyo omoni, oyo ezali sik’oyo, mpe oyo ekoya na sima.
20 the mystery of the seven stars, which you have seen in my right hand, and of the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the Angels of the seven Churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven Churches.”
Tala mabombami oyo ezali kati na minzoto sambo oyo omonaki na loboko na Ngai ya mobali, mpe bitelemiselo sambo ya minda, oyo basala na wolo: minzoto sambo elakisi ba-anjelu ya Mangomba sambo; mpe bitelemiselo sambo ya minda, oyo basala na wolo elakisi Mangomba sambo. »
