Revelation 1
1 Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to shew to his bondmen what must shortly take place; and he signified [it], sending by his angel, to his bondman 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 the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all things that he saw.
Joni wakalungulula makani aa Leza abukamboni bwa Jesu Kkilisito, azintu zyoonse nzyakabona.
3 Blessed [is] he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things 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 which [are] in Asia: Grace to you and peace from [him] who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits which [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 from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in 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 made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father: to him [be] the glory and the might to the ages of ages. 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 comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. 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, saith [the] Lord God, he 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 fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience, in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.
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 became in [the] Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,
Ndakali mumuuya mubuzuba bwa Mwami. Ndakamvwa jwi pati kusule lyangu lili mbuli mweembo.
11 saying, What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to 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 And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
Ndakacheba kuti ndibone kuti ngwani unukwambuula aandime, lino nindakacheba ndakabona zibikilo zyamampi zyangolida zilimusanu azibili.
13 and in the midst of the [seven] lamps [one] like [the] Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle:
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 hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;
Mutwe wakwe amasusu aakwe aakali kutuba mbuli buluba- kuta mbuli sikunku ameso aakwe akali mbuli mulilo.
15 and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;
Mawulu aakwe aakali mbuli nsimbi yananikwa, mbuli nsimbi yasunkwa mumvuto yamulilo, ajwi lyakwe lyakali mbuli kuvuuma kwameenda mayingi.
16 and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power.
Wakalijisi nyenyezi zili musanu azibili kuluboko lwakwe lwalulyo. Mumulomo wakwe mwakazwa panga libosya koonse koonse. Busyu bwakwe bwakali kumweka mbuli zuba libalisya loko.
17 And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; 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 what thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to be after these.
Nkikaako lemba ansi nzwaabona, chiliwo lino achizoochitika kuzwa aawa.
20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou hast seen on my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. — The seven stars are angels of the seven assemblies; and the seven lamps 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.”
