2 ooyo iwakapa bumboni kujwi ndyaakaamba Leza akubumboni mbwaakapa Jesu Kristo, inzya, kuzintu zyoonse nzyaakabona.
3 Ulikkomene ooyo waabala cakupozya alimwi abaabo bamvwa majwi aabusinsimi oobu, alimwi ibatobela zintu zilembedwe mumo,+ nkaambo ciindi cibikkidwe cilaafwaafwi.
4 Ndime Johane nendilembela mbungano zili ciloba+ zili mucooko ca Asiya kuti:
Amube aluzyalo lwa Leza alimwi aluumuno kuzwa kuli “Yooyo uuliko, wakaliko alimwi uuboola,”+ alimwi akuzwa kumyuuya iili ciloba+ eeyo iili kumbele lyacuuno cakwe cabwami,
5 alimwi akuzwa kuli Jesu Kristo, “Kamboni Uusyomeka,”+ “mutaanzi kuzyalwa kuzwa kubafwu,”+ alimwi “Muleli wabami bamunyika.”+
Kuli yooyo uutuyanda+ alimwi iwakatwaangununa kuzibi zyesu kwiinda mubulowa bwakwe mwini+—
6 alimwi iwakatupa kuti tube bwami,+ bapaizi+ kuli Leza wakwe alimwi Usyi—inzya, kulinguwe akube bulemu alimwi anguzu lyoonse mane kukabe kutamani. Ameni.

8 “Ndime Alefa a Omega,”*+ mbwaamba Jehova* Leza, “Ooyo uuliko, wakaliko alimwi uuboola, Singuzuzyoonse.”+
9 Mebo nde Johane, ndemunyoko alimwi nenditola lubazu andinywe mumapenzi,+ mubwami+ alimwi amukuliyumya+ mukuyanzana a Jesu,+ ndakali ansumbu iitegwa Patimo akaambo kakwaamba zya Leza akupa bumboni kujatikizya Jesu.
10 Kwiinda mumuuya ndakazikuba mubuzuba bwa Mwami, mpoonya kusyule lyangu ndakamvwa ijwi pati lili mbuli kulila kwamweembo,
11 kalyaamba kuti: “Eeco ncotiibone ucilembe mubbuku lyakuvwunga akulitumina kumbungano izili ciloba: mu Efeso,+ mu Simurna,+ mu Pergamo,+ mu Tiyatira,+ mu Sarde,+ mu Filadelufiya+ alimwi amu Laodikeya.”+
12 Lino ndakacenguluka kuti ndibone yooyo iwakali kwaambaula andime, eelyo nondakacenguluka, ndakabona zibikkilo zyamalambe zyangolida izili ciloba,+
13 alimwi akati kazibikkilo zyamalambe kwakali umwi uuli mbuli mwanaamuntu,+ wakasamide cisani cilamfwu icakali kusika kumaulu, alimwi kucamba wakalyaangide lutambo lwangolida.
14 Kunze lyaboobo, imutwe wakwe alimwi amasusu aakwe zyakali kutuba buu mbuli boya bwambelele butuba, mbuli caanda, alimwi meso aakwe akali mbuli mulilo uuvwilima,+

16 Alimwi mujanza lyakwe lyalulyo wakajisi nyenyeezi zili ciloba,+ alimwi mukanwa lyakwe mwakali kuzwa panga+ lilamfwu libosya, ilikwengedwe koonse-koonse, alimwi busyu bwakwe bwakali mbuli zuba mbolimweka nolibala kapati.+
17 Lino nindakamubona, ndakawida kumaulu aakwe mbuli muntu uufwide.
Mpoonya wakandijata ajanza lyakwe lyalulyo akwaamba kuti: “Utayoowi pe. Ndili Mutaanzi+ alimwi a Musyaalizi,+
18 alimwi ooyo uupona,+ ndakalifwide,+ pele bona, ndilapona lyoonse mane kukabe kutamani,+ alimwi ndijisi makkii aalufwu aa Cuumbwe.*+
19 Aboobo kozilemba zintu nzyowabona, azintu iziliko lino alimwi azyeezyo zitiicitike zyainda eezyi.
20 Lino kujatikizya maseseke aa Leza aanyenyeezi zili ciloba nzyowabona mujanza lyangu lyalulyo, alimwi aazibikkilo zyamalambe zyangolida izili ciloba: Inyenyeezi zili ciloba ziiminina bangelo bambungano zili ciloba, mpoonya zibikkilo zyamalambe zili ciloba ziiminina mbungano zili ciloba.+
