Revelation 1
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John:
Mu libuku ili muli bintu Lesa mbyalayubulwila Yesu Klistu kwambeti ambile basebenshi bakendi, bintu byela kwinshika ca lino lino. Neco Klistu walatuma mungelo wakendi kuya kwambila Yohane musebenshi wakendi.
2 Who bore witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Yohane walamba byonse mbyalabona bilambanga sha mulumbe wa Lesa ne cancinencine ncalayubulwila Yesu Klistu.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it: for the time is at hand.
Ukute colwe muntu labelengenga maswi abushinshimi ali mu libuku ili, kayi bakute colwe bantu balakutikinga maswi ne kwasunga. Cindi ca kwambeti bintu bitatike kwinshika cilipepi.
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be to you, and peace, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;
Njame Yohane, ndalembelenga mibungano isanu ne ibili ili mu cimpansha ca Asiya. Luse ne lumuno kufuma kuli Lesa uyo walikubapo, ulipo kayi uyo lesanga, bibe ne njamwe. Luse ne lumuno kufuma kumishimu isanu ne ibili ili ku Cipuna ca Bwami bwa Lesa bibe ne njamwe.
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Kayi luse ne lumuno kufuma kuli Yesu Klistu, kamboni washomeka bibe ne njamwe. Yesu emutanshi kupunduka kubafu walakoma lufu, endiye lendeleshenga bami ba pacishi capanshi. Walatusuna netulubula ku bwipishi ne milopa yakendi.
6 And hath made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Nendi latubiki kuba bami ne beshimilumbo beshikusebensela Lesa, Baishi. Yesu Klistu apewe bulemu ne ngofu lelo ne masuba onse, Ameni! (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also who pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Kamubonani, lesanga mumakumbi, uliyense nakamubone, ne bonse balamuyasa. Bantu bonse pacishi capanshi nibakamulile. Neco kacikabani motepelomo. Kamubonani, Yesu lesanga pamo ne makumbi. Bantu bonse nibakamubone, naboyo balikumuyasa nibakamubone. Bantu bamishobo yonse pacishi capanshi nibakalile cebo ca endiye. Ee, ici nicikenshike! Ameni.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
Mwami Lesa wa ngofu shonse, uyo walikubako, ulipo kayi uyo lakesanga. Lambangeti, “Ame njame citatiko kayi njame mapwililisho.”
9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Njame Yohane washoma munenu, tulapengenga cebo ca Yesu Mwami wetu, uyo latupanga ngofu sha kupita mu mapensho. Ndalabikwa pa nsumbu ya Patimo cebo ca kukambauka mulumbe wa Lesa, ne cancinencine ico ncalayubulula Yesu.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Pa busuba bwa Mwami, Mushimu Uswepa walamfukata, kayi ndalanyumfwa maswi akompolola kunyuma kwakame, alikunyumfwiketi kulila kwa tolompita.
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
Kambeti, “Kolemba mulibuku bintu mbyolabononga, kayi watume ku mibungano isanu ne ibili ku Efenso ku Simuna ku Pegamo ku Tiyatila ku Salidisi ku Filadelufiya ne ku Lawodikeya.”
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands;
Mpondalacebuketi mbone walikwamba ne njame, ndalabona pakubika malampi asanu ne abili a golide.
13 And in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the breasts with a golden band.
Pakati pa byakubikapo malampi asa, palikuba naumbi walikuboneketi Mwana Muntu, walikuba wafwala mwinjila utali washika ku myendo kayi walikuba walikobeka cikwisa ca golide pa cali.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Mishishi ya kumutwi wakendi yalikuba tuu eti buluba, nambi eti mapepe ankobokobo, menso akendi alikuboneketi makalangasha a mulilo.
15 And his feet like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Myendo yakendi yalikubeketi cela cilafukutwanga pa muba, kayi maswi akendi alikunyumfwiketi kuwota kwa menshi angi.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
Mucikasa cakendi cakululyo, walikuba wekata nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili. Kayi mu mulomo wakendi, mwalafuma cibeshi calumata konse konse. Pa cinso cakendi palikubangileti lisuba lyanga pelu pa mutwi.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Mpondalamulangishisha, ndalawa panshi kumwendo yakendi eti muntu lafu. Neye walabika cikasa cakendi pali njame ne kwambeti, “Kotatina! ame njame citatiko ne mapwililisho.
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be after this;
Kolemba bintu mbyolabono, bilenshikinga pa cino cindi kayi ne byeti bikenshike kuntangu.
20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lampstands which thou sawest are the seven churches.
Lino ndapandululunga bintu mbyowabulanga kwinshiba cena, nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili nshewalabona ku cikasa cakame ca ku lulyo, kayi ne pakubika malampi pasanu ne pabili a golide. Nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili ni batangunishi ba mibungano isanu ne ibili, kayi pakubika malampi pasanu ne pabili a golide ni mibungano isanu ne ibili.”
