1 Wa yi hinhran u Yesu Kristi wa Irji nnowu ndu tsro ba granma ikpye waa a tie weiwiere a. A tru meleka ma ye ni Yohanna ye nhra wa.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show unto his servants, [even] the things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John;
2 Yohanna ahla lantre Rji nda hla u Yseu Kristi u kyi wa atoh wawumbambawu.
who bare witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, [even] of all things that he saw.
3 Indi uluw ahi wa akra totsuma ma ngbangban me'a ma kii biwa mba tsi wo tre waatre nda kpa nyemen ni kpe wa mba ha nimi into a he whewhir.
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 Ime, Yohanna, hi ni Ikilisiyoyi tagban wa mba he nigbu mba asiya; tsitsi hi niyi ni sikpa ni wa ahe tsizan, wa he ni tsenmu, wawu ni ye ni shi-shi ruhohin tagban wa mba he ni kgbu kursiyin ma.
John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne;
5 Arji ni Yesu Kristi wa mba kpanyemen ni wu, iver mumla wa alude nimi mben; wa atu chu bi gbugbu ni wa ni sonta. nda situ ihuwo ni la bi latre gbu ni iyinman.
and from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us from our sins by his blood;
6 Aleta te bi chu firistoci bi Rji ma ni teman. ndidin, ukpele wi he ai wu tun nitse ahemen (amin) (aiōn g165)
and he made us [to be] a kingdom, [to be] priests unto his God and Father; to him [be] the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Nya atsiye nimi kpan, shishi nde mbato ni nde biwa tugbu ni njigba ndi bi gbugbu pepemen mbayin niwu, ahemen (amin).
Behold, he cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
8 Ameyin mumudin ni klekle Irji treme wawu zizan; wa ahe tu nitsemu, wawu niyen, wawu ni kpekple wawu.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
9 Eme, Yohanna, rayinbin, wa ahe niyin ni mi iyabin, ni son ndidi ni fusroun waube ni Yesu. Igbulu mba wambayo Badmusa, ni tre Rji wa ala ni tu Yesu.
I John, your brother and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and patience [which are] in Jesus, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
10 Mi he nimi Ruhu nifi u Rji, ndi wo lanri ni kwugon nu na ijun.
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet
11 Ala ha ikpe wawu to rinu vuvu; nde tru hi ni Ikilisiyoyin tagban mba; wa ahe Afisus; ni Simirna, waahe ni Tayatira, wa ahe ni Sardisu, waahe ni Filadalfiya, ni waahe ni Laudikiya.
saying, What thou seest, write in a book and send [it] to the seven churches: unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12 Mi ya ndi atsi tre nimen, wa mi ya miton ilu fitila tagban ni ngbugbu klomba.
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And having turned I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 Nimi ilu nde ri hena ker nde a kri ni gla gagloma hi ni zanma, alakpa ni zinariya nitsan ma.
and in the midst of the candlesticks one like unto a son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle.
14 Ituma ni fukpa kye na fu fu rjurju na men atsi gji ni kpama; shishi ahe na wau.
And his head and his hair were white as white wool, [white] as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 Izama mba kpa, mbahe na klalu wa mba la niwu, atsi glo na man ni nei.
and his feet like unto burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters.
16 Nuwo kota ma agji tsitse tangba ni nyuma agji gjin e. nyu ha shishi ma tsi kpa na rji.
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17 Wa mi tori mi jeku nza ma na kgbu nde. akawo ma ikita san ni tu mu nda la, na ti tsitsirena, imee mi mumle ni nklekle.
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,
19 A he nawa, ha kpe wawu to igpi waahe zizan, waani he ni kwogon waujin.
Write therefore the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass hereafter;
20 Mi tu ma'ana, ni tsitse tagban wa mba to niwo kotama, ni whirji wa mbalo. Fitila tagban u Zinariya. tsitse tagban mba malaiku (pastoci) bi Ikilisiya tagban, whi rji mba lo fitilu tagban mba Ikilisiyoyi tagban mba.
the mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks are seven churches.
