Revelation 1
1 [The] revelation of Jesus Christ which gave to him God to show to the bond-servants of Him what things it behooves to take place with speed And He signified [it] having sent through the angel of Him to the servant of Him John,
Chakazarurwa chaJesu Kristu, Mwari chaakapa kwaari, kuti aratidze kuvaranda vake zvinhu zvinofanira kukurumidza kuitika, zvino azvituma nemutumwa wake wakaratidza muranda wake Johwani,
2 who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ as much as (then *k) he saw.
iye wakapupura shoko raMwari uye uchapupu hwaJesu Kristu, nezvese zvaakaona.
3 blessed [is] the [one] reading and those hearing the words of the prophecy and keeping the [things] in it written; for the time [is] near.
Wakaropafadzwa anoverenga, nevanonzwa mashoko echiporofita ichi vachichengeta zvakanyorwa machiri; nokuti nguva yava pedo.
4 John To the seven churches in Asia: Grace to you and peace from (Him *K+O) who is and who was and who is coming and from the seven Spirits who (is *k) before the throne of Him
Johwani kumakereke manomwe ari muAsia: Nyasha kwamuri nerugare zvinobva kuna iye aripo uye wakange aripo neachazouya; nekuMweya minomwe iri pamberi pechigaro chake cheushe;
5 and from Jesus Christ, the witness faithful, the firstborn (from *k) the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the [One] (loving *N+kO) us and (having released *N+KO) us (from *N+kO) the sins of us through the blood of Him —
nekuna Jesu Kristu, chapupu chakatendeka, dangwe kubva kune vakafa, nemutungamiriri wemadzimambo enyika. Kuna iye wakatida, akatisuka kubva pazvivi zvedu muropa rake;
6 and He has made us (a kingdom, *N+KO) (and *K) priests to the God and Father of Him — to Him [be] the glory and the dominion to the ages of the ages, Amen. (aiōn g165)
akatiitawo madzimambo nevapristi kuna Mwari naBaba vake; kwaari ngakuve kubwinya nesimba kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold He is coming with the clouds, and will behold Him every eye and those who Him pierced; and will wail because of Him all the tribes of the earth, Yes Amen!
Tarira, anouya pamwe nemakore, uye ziso rese richamuona, neavo vakamubaya; nemarudzi ese enyika achachema nekuda kwake. Hongu. Ameni.
8 I myself am the Alpha and the Omega (beginning and end *K) says (the *k) Lord (God, *NO) who is being and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.
Ini ndini Arifa naOmega, Kutanga neKupedzisira, anoreva Ishe, aripo, newakange aripo, neachazouya, Wemasimbaose.
9 I myself John, (also *k) brother of you and (fellow-partaker *NK+o) in the tribulation and (in *k) kingdom and in endurance (in *no) Jesus (Christ *K) was in the island which is being called Patmos on account of the word of God and (through *k) the testimony of Jesus (Christ. *K)
Ini Johwani, ndiri hama yenyuwo, uye mufambidzani pakutambudzika nemuushe nekutsungirira kwaJesu Kristu, ndakange ndiri pachiwi chinonzi Patimosi, nekuda kweshoko raMwari uye nekuda kweuchapupu hwaJesu Kristu.
10 I was in [the] Spirit on the Lord’s day and I heard behind me a voice loud like that of a trumpet
Ndakange ndiri muMweya nezuva raIshe, zvino ndakanzwa shure kwangu inzwi guru, serehwamanda,
11 saying (I myself *KO) (am the Alpha and the Omega the first and the last; and *K) What you see do write in a book and do send to the seven churches (in Asia: *K) to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.
richiti: Ndini Arifa naOmega, Wekutanga neWekupedzisira; uye kuti: Zvaunoona, nyora mubhuku, uye tumira kumakereke manomwe ari muAsia, kuEfeso, nekuSimirina, nekuPerigamo, nekuTiatira, nekuSaridhisi, nekuFiradhefia, nekuRaodhikia.
12 And (there *O) I turned to see the voice that (was speaking *N+kO) with me. And having turned I saw seven lampstands golden
Zvino ndikatendeuka kuona inzwi rakataura neni. Ndatendeukawo ndakaona zvigadziko zvemwenje zvegoridhe zvinomwe,
13 and in [the] midst of the (seven *KO) lampstands [One] like ([the] Son *N+kO) of Man having clothed himself to the feet and having girded himself about at the breasts with a sash golden.
nepakati pezvigadziko zvemwenje zvinomwe, mumwe wakaita seMwanakomana wemunhu, akapfeka nguvo yakasvikira kutsoka, uye akazvisunga kupoteredza chifuva nebhanhire regoridhe.
14 And the head of Him and the hairs [are] white (as if *N+kO) wool white as snow and the eyes of Him [are] like a flame of fire
Nemusoro wake nemavhudzi zvakachena semakushe emakwai machena, semagada echando; uye meso ake semurazvo wemoto;
15 and the feet of Him [are] like as fine bronze as in a furnace (refined *N+kO) and the voice of Him [is] like [the] voice of waters many
uye tsoka dzake dzakafanana nendarira yakakwenenzverwa, sedzinenge dzakapiswa muvira remoto; neinzwi rake seinzwi remvura zhinji.
16 and He is holding in the right hand of Him stars seven and out of the mouth of Him a sword two-edged sharp is going forth and the face of Him [is] like the sun shining in the full strength of it.
Uye wakange ane muruoko rwake rwerudyi nyeredzi nomwe; zvino mumuromo make makabuda munondo unopinza unocheka mativi maviri; uye chiso chake chaiva sezuva rinopenya musimba raro.
17 And when I saw Him, I fell at the feet of Him as though dead, And (He placed *N+kO) the right of Him (hand *K) upon me myself saying (to me: *k) Not do fear. I myself am the First and the Last
Zvino pandakamuona, ndakawira patsoka dzake sewakafa; ndokuisa ruoko rwake rwerudyi pamusoro pangu, achiti kwandiri: Usatya; ndini wekutanga newekupedzisira;
19 do write (therefore *NO) [the things] that you have seen and [the things] that are and [the things] that are about (to be *N+kO) after these,
Nyora zvawaona, nezvinhu zviripo, nezvinhu zvichazovapo shure kweizvi.
20 the mystery of the seven stars (which *N+kO) you saw on the right hand of Me and the seven lampstands golden: The seven stars [the] angels of the seven churches are and the lampstands (that *N+kO) (you saw *K) seven [the] seven churches are.
Chakavanzika chenyeredzi nomwe dzawaona paruoko rwangu rwerudyi, nezvigadziko zvemwenje zvinomwe zvegoridhe. Nyeredzi nomwe ndivo vatumwa vekereke nomwe; nezvigadziko zvemwenje zvinomwe zvawaona ndidzo kereke nomwe.
