Revelation 19
1 After these things I heard [what sounded] like a huge crowd in heaven. They were shouting things like, “(Hallelujah!/Praise our God!)” “He has saved us!” “He is glorious and mighty!”
Panyuma pakendi ndalanyumfwa kuyobeka kwalikunyumfwiketi kwa likoto linene lyabantu kwilu. Kabambeti, “Lupulusho ne bulemeneno kayi ne ngofu ni byakendi Lesa, neco kamumushikaishani!
2 “Praise him because he judges truly and justly!” “He has punished the very evil cities that are like a prostitute, because their people persuaded the other people of earth [MTY] to act immorally and idolatrously like they do.” “Praise him because he has punished them for murdering his servants [MTY]!”
Lombolosho lwakendi nilwancinencine kayi lwalulama. Lamupa cisubulo mufule wasafwanyanga bantu pa cishi ca panshi ne bufule bwakendi. Walashina bantu ba Lesa, neco Lesa lamubweshele.”
3 [The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn g165)
Kayi likoto linene lisa lyalompololeti, “Lesa ashikaishiwe! Bwishi bwa mulilo ulatente munshi unene ulasukumunga kwa muyayaya!” (aiōn g165)
4 The 24 elders and the four living [creatures] (prostrated themselves/knelt down) and worshipped God, who sits on the throne. Then they said, “[It] is true! (Hallelujah!/Praise God!)”
Bamakulene makumi abili ne bana kayi ne bya buyumi bina balasuntama panshi ne kukambilila Lesa walikuba wekala pa Cipuna ca Bwami kabambeti, “Ameni! Lesa ashikaishiwe!”
5 Someone spoke from the throne and said, “All you who are our God’s servants, praise him! All you who reverence him, [whether you are socially] significant or insignificant, praise him! [Everyone]!”
Lino ku Cipuna ca Bwami kwalanyufwika liswi lyalikwambeti, “Kamushikaishani Lesa, mobasebenshi bakendi pamo ne bantu bonse omukute kumutina, bamakulene ne batwanike.”
6 I heard something like the noise of a huge crowd [of people], like the sound of a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide river of rushing water), and like the sound of loud thunder. They were shouting: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) Because the Lord God, the Almighty One, reigns!
Kayi ndalanyumfwa maswi alikunyumfwiketi kuyobeka kwa bantu bangi. Alikunyumfwiketi kuwota kwa menshi angi nambi eti kutatala kwa mfula, kabambeti, “Katushikaishani Lesa! Pakwinga Mwami Lesa wetu wa ngofu shonse latatiki kwendelesha.”
7 We should rejoice, we should be extremely glad, and we should honor him, because it is now time for Jesus, the one who is like a lamb, to be united permanently with his people, which will be like a man [MET] marrying his bride, and because those who belong to him have prepared themselves to be united with him.
Katukondwani, kayi tusamwe, tumupe bulemu, pakwinga cindi ca bwinga bwa Mwana Mbelele cilashiki kayi mutukashi ngwalayandanga kweba neye walibambila.
8 God has permitted them to be completely pure, like a bride who [MET] dresses in fine linen that is bright and clean. Fine [bright and clean] linen represents the righteous acts of God’s people.
Lesa lamupa byakufwala bya swepa, byabeka, kwambeti afwale. Byakufwala bilemanininga micito yaina njobakute bantu ba Lesa.
9 Then the angel said to me, “Write [this: God will abundantly] bless the people who are {whom [he] has} invited to the feast [that celebrates Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, [permanently uniting with his people, like someone] [MET] [marrying a wife].” He also said [to me]: “These words that God [declares] are true!”
Lino mungelo walang'ambileti, “Kolembeti, ‘Bakute colwe bantu balakwiwa ku bwinga bwa Mwana Mbelele.’” Kayi mungelo walambeti, “Awa ni maswi a ancine ncine Lesa.”
10 I [immediately] (prostrated myself/knelt down) at his feet in order to worship him. But he said to me, “Do not [worship me]! I am [just] your [(sg)] fellow servant and the fellow servant of your [(sg)] fellow believers who tell people about Jesus. God is the one whom you should worship, because it is the Spirit of God who gives people the power to tell others about Jesus (OR, [those who tell others about] Jesus are [truly] declaring [the words that the Spirit of God has given them])!”
Popelapo ndalasuntama pantangu pakendi kuyanda kumukambilila, mwakufwambana walambeti, “Sobwe kotenseco! Ame ndemusha mbuli ncobele pamo ne banobe bashoma. Kambilila Lesa!” Pakwinga cancine ncine ncalayubulula Yesu ecilapanga ngofu bantu kwamba mulumbe wa Lesa.
11 [In the vision] I saw heaven opened {open}, and I was surprised to see a white horse. [Jesus], the one who was riding on the horse, is called ‘Trustworthy and Genuine/True’. He judges [all people according to] what is right, and fights righteously [against his enemies].
Kwilu mpokwalacaluka, ndalabona lihaki lituba. Walikuba watantapo walikukwiweti, “Washomeka” Kayi “Wa ncinencine.” Nendi ukute kombolosha, nekulwana nkondo.
12 His eyes [shone like] [MET] a flame of fire. There were many royal crowns on his head. A name had been written [on him]. Only he knows [the meaning of that name].
Menso akendi alyeti lubela lwa mulilo, ku mutwi walikuba wafwala ngowani shingi sha bwami, ne lina ndyalikuba walembwa nkalyeshibikwa nsombi mwinowa eulinshi.
13 The robe he was wearing was drenched with blood. His name is [also] “(The one who expresses what God is like/The Word of God).”
Walikuba wafwala mwinjila wananankana milopa. Lina lyakendi ni “Maswi a Lesa.”
14 The armies of heaven were following him. [They were also] riding on white horses. They were wearing clothes [made of] clean white linen.
Makoto a nkondo a kwilu alamukonkela, kali atanta pamahaki atuba, nawo kali afwala minjila ituba yaswepa mbee!
15 [The words] that Jesus speaks [are like] [MTY] a sharp sword with which he will strike [the rebellious people of] the nations. He himself will rule them [powerfully, as though he had] [MET] an iron rod. He will crush [his enemies just like] [MET] [a person crushes grapes in a] winepress. [He will do this for] God Almighty, who is extremely angry [with them because of their sins].
Mu mulomo mwakendi mwalapula cibeshi calumata ico ncalakomenako mishobo ya bantu. Yesu Klistu nakabendeleshe ne nkoli ya cela, kayi nakalyataule mucisengu mwakutyanina minyansa ya bukalu bwa Lesa wa Ngofu Shonse.
16 On his cloak close to his thigh a name had been written {[he] had written a name}, which is “King who [rules over all other] kings and Lord who [rules over all other] lords.”
Pa mwinjila ne pa libelo lyakendi palikuba palembwa lina, lyakwambeti “Mwami wa Bami ne Mwendeleshi wa bendeleshi.”
17 I saw an angel who was standing in [the light of] [MTY] the sun. He called loudly to all the [flesh-eating] birds flying high in the sky, “Come and gather for the wonderful feast that God [is providing for you]!
Kayi ndalabona mungelo kali wemana pa lisuba. Walompolola kukuwa bikeni byonse bilaulukunga mwilu kambeti, “Kamwisani mubungane pamo ku malyalya anene ngwalamubambili Lesa.
18 [Come] and eat the flesh of all [God’s enemies who are dead—] the flesh of kings, army commanders, [people who fought] powerfully, horses and the [soldiers] who rode them, [and the flesh of all other kinds of people], whether [they were] free or slaves, [socially] insignificant or significant. [All kinds]!”
Mwise mulye mitunta ya bami ne ya bamakulene ba nkondo ne ya bashilikali ne ya batanta pa mahaki, minyemfu ya bantu bonse basha ne babula kuba basha, bamakulene kayi ne batwanike!”
19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of earth with their armies gathered together to fight against the Rider on the horse, and against his army.
Lino ndalabona cinyama ne bami ba pacishi capanshi ne makoto abo ankondo balabungana pamo kwambeti balwane ne walikuba watanta pa lihaki ne likoto lyakendi.
20 The beast and the false prophet were captured {[He] captured the beast and the false prophet}. The false prophet is the one who had performed miracles in the beast’s presence. By doing that he had deceived the people who had accepted the beast’s mark [on their foreheads] and who worshipped its image. The beast and the false prophet were thrown {[He] threw the beast and the one who falsely said that he spoke messages that came directly from God} alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
Balacikata cinyama pamo ne mushinshimi mubepeshi walikwinsa byeshikukankamanisha. Mbyecalikwinsa ebyalikubepa bantu balikukambilila cikoshano ca cinyama kabakute cishibisho caco. Bonse babili cinyama ne mushinshimi mubepeshi, balawalwa mu lwenje lwa mulilo ulabangilinga ne sulufule. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
21 The rider on the horse killed the rest [of their armies] just by [speaking words], [which were like] [MTY] a sword that extended from his mouth. All those birds gorged themselves on the flesh of [the people whom he had killed].
Cibeshi calafuma mu mulomo wa uyo walikuba watanta lihaki encalashinishako makoto abo a nkondo, bikeni byonse byalekuta kulya minyemfu yabo.
