Revelation 1
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.
This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what will happen soon. He sent his angel to reveal it to his servant John
2 Yohanna ahla lantre Rji nda hla u Yseu Kristi u kyi wa atoh wawumbambawu.
who confirmed everything he saw concerning the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
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.
Anyone who reads this is blessed, as are those who hear these prophetic words and pay attention to what's written, because the time is near.
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.
This letter comes from John and is sent to the seven churches in the province of Asia. May you have grace and peace from the one who was, who is, and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits 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 the trustworthy witness, the firstborn from the dead, the ruler of earthly kings. To Jesus who loves us and freed 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)
who made us into his kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to Jesus be glory and authority 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).
Look, he is coming surrounded by clouds, and everybody shall see him, even those who killed him. All the peoples of the earth will weep because of him. May it be so! Amen.
8 Ameyin mumudin ni klekle Irji treme wawu zizan; wa ahe tu nitsemu, wawu niyen, wawu ni kpekple wawu.
“I am the Beginning and the End,” says the All-powerful Lord God, who was, who is, and who is to come.
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 am John, your brother who shares with you in the suffering and in the kingdom and in the patient waiting that are our experience in Jesus. I was detained on the island of Patmos for sharing the word of God and the truth as revealed by Jesus.
10 Mi he nimi Ruhu nifi u Rji, ndi wo lanri ni kwugon nu na ijun.
I was filled by the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard a loud voice behind me that sounded like 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.
It told me, “Write down in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12 Mi ya ndi atsi tre nimen, wa mi ya miton ilu fitila tagban ni ngbugbu klomba.
I turned round to see who was speaking to me. When I 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 standing among the candlesticks was someone who looked like a Son of man. He was wearing a robe that reached down to his feet with a golden sash across his chest.
14 Ituma ni fukpa kye na fu fu rjurju na men atsi gji ni kpama; shishi ahe na wau.
His hair looked like white wool, and his eyes like flaming fire.
15 Izama mba kpa, mbahe na klalu wa mba la niwu, atsi glo na man ni nei.
His feet looked like polished brass that had been refined in a furnace. His voice sounded like a thundering waterfall.
16 Nuwo kota ma agji tsitse tangba ni nyuma agji gjin e. nyu ha shishi ma tsi kpa na rji.
He was holding seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword came out of his mouth. His face shone like the sun at its brightest.
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.
When I saw him I fell down at his feet as if I were dead. But he touched me with his right hand and said, “Don't be afraid, I am the first and the last,
19 A he nawa, ha kpe wawu to igpi waahe zizan, waani he ni kwogon waujin.
So write down what you've seen—what's happening in the present and what will happen in the future.
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 meaning of the seven stars that you saw me holding in my right hand and the seven golden candlesticks is this: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.”
