< 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,
Ũyũ nĩguo ũguũrio wa Jesũ Kristũ, ũrĩa Ngai aamũguũrĩirie nĩguo onie ndungata ciake maũndũ marĩa makiriĩ gwĩkĩka o ica ikuhĩ. Aamenyithanirie ũhoro ũcio na ũndũ wa gũtũma mũraika wake kũrĩ ndungata yake Johana,

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.

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
Nĩ niĩ Johana, Ndĩratũmĩra makanitha marĩa mũgwanja marĩ kũu bũrũri wa Asia ũhoro ũyũ: Atĩrĩrĩ, wega na thayũ irogĩa na inyuĩ kuuma kũrĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ ho, na nowe warĩ ho, na nowe ũgooka, na kuuma kũrĩ maroho mũgwanja marĩa maikaraga mbere ya gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene,
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 —
o na kuuma kũrĩ Jesũ Kristũ, mũira ũrĩa mwĩhokeku, o we irigithathi rĩa arĩa akuũ, na mwathi wa athamaki a thĩ. Kũrĩ ũcio ũtwendete, na agatuohorithia kuuma mehia-inĩ maitũ na ũndũ wa thakame yake,
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)
na agatũtua andũ a ũthamaki na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩguo tũtungatage Ngai na Ithe wake: ũgooci na wathani irogĩa kũrĩ we tene na tene! 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!
Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩ gũũka arooka na matu, na gũtirĩ riitho rĩtakamuona, o na andũ arĩa maamũtheecire nĩmakamuona; nao andũ othe a thĩ nĩmagacakaya nĩ ũndũ wake. Ũguo nĩguo gũgaatuĩka! 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.
Mwathani Ngai ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ Alifa o na Omega, ũrĩa ũrĩ ho, na nowe warĩ ho, na nowe ũgooka, o we Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.”
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)
Niĩ, Johana, mũrũ wa ithe wanyu, na mũgwatanĩri na inyuĩ thĩinĩ wa mĩnyamaro, na ũthamaki, na gũkirĩrĩria tũũmĩrĩirie, o iria irĩ ciitũ thĩinĩ wa Jesũ, ndaarĩ gĩcigĩrĩra-inĩ kĩa iria kĩrĩa gĩĩtagwo Patimo tondũ wa Ũhoro wa Ngai na ũira wa Jesũ.
10 I was in [the] Spirit on the Lord’s day and I heard behind me a voice loud like that of a trumpet
Na rĩrĩ, ndaarĩ thĩinĩ wa Roho Mũthenya wa Mwathani, na niĩ ngĩigua mũgambo mũnene thuutha wakwa warĩ ta wa karumbeta,
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.
ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Andĩka ũrĩa ũkuona ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo, na ũcooke ũũtũmĩre makanitha marĩa mũgwanja: nĩmo kanitha wa Efeso, na wa Simurina, na wa Perigamo, na wa Thuatira, na wa Saride, na wa Filadelifia, na wa Laodikia.”
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
Na niĩ ngĩĩhũgũra nĩguo nyone mũgambo ũcio wanjaragĩria. Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndehũgũrire, ngĩona mĩtĩ mũgwanja ya thahabu ya kũigĩrĩra matawa,
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.
na gatagatĩ ka mĩtĩ ĩyo nĩ haarĩ na mũndũ “wahaanaga ta mũrũ wa mũndũ,” wehumbĩte nguo yamũkinyĩte o nyarĩrĩ, na akeoha mũcibi wa thahabu gĩthũri.
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
Naguo mũtwe wake na njuĩrĩ yake ciarĩ njerũ cua ta guoya wa ngʼondu, cierũhĩte o ta ira, namo maitho make maahaanaga ta nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki.
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
Namo magũrũ make maahaanaga ta gĩcango gĩgũkenga kĩrĩ mwaki-inĩ wa aturi, naguo mũgambo wake watariĩ ta mũrurumo wa maaĩ maingĩ.
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.
Guoko-inĩ gwake kwa ũrĩo aanyiitĩte njata mũgwanja, na kuuma kanua-inĩ gake hakoima rũhiũ rwa njora rũũgĩ mĩena yeerĩ. Naguo ũthiũ wake watariĩ ta riũa rĩrĩa rĩarĩte mũno.
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
Rĩrĩa ndaamuonire ngĩgwa magũrũ-inĩ make ta mũndũ mũkuũ. Nake akĩnjigĩrĩra guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo, akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra. Nĩ niĩ wa Mbere, na ni niĩ wa Kũrigĩrĩria.
18 and the Living [One], and I was dead and behold living I am to the ages of the ages (Amen *K) and I have the keys of Death and of Hades. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
Nĩ niĩ Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Muoyo; nĩndakuĩte, na rĩu ngũtũũra muoyo nginya tene na tene! Na nĩ niĩ ndĩ na cabi cia gĩkuũ na Kwa Ngoma. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
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,
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, andĩka maũndũ marĩa wona, marĩa marĩ kuo rĩu na marĩa magooka thuutha-inĩ.
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.
Nayo hitho ya njata icio mũgwanja wonire guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo, na ya mĩtĩ ĩyo mũgwanja ya thahabu ya kũigĩrĩra matawa nĩ ĩno: Njata icio mũgwanja nĩ araika a makanitha marĩa mũgwanja, nayo mĩtĩ ĩyo mũgwanja ya kũigĩrĩra matawa nĩ makanitha macio mũgwanja.
