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.
A revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants the things which must shortly be; and sending by his messenger, he signified them to his servant John,
2 Yohanna ahla lantre Rji nda hla u Yseu Kristi u kyi wa atoh wawumbambawu.
who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, whatever 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.
Happy is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; 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 congregation which are in Asia; favor and peace be with you, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which 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, the faithful witness, the first born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who has loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own 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 has made us kings and priests to his God and Father; to him be glory and 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 is coming in the clouds; and every eye shall see him, even they who pierced him: and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn because of him. Yes: so let it be.
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, says the Lord, 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, who am also your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, for the sake of the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
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 heard a great voice behind me, 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 you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven congregations; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to 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 which spoke to me, and being turned, I saw seven golden lamps;
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 seven lamps, one like a Son of Man, clothed in a long robe, and girded about 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.
His head, even his hairs, were white like wool, as 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 fine brass, when glowing 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 there went a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as the sun, when he shines 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 down at his feet, as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, and said, 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 the things which you see, even those which are, and the things which shall be 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.
As to the hidden meaning of the seven stars, which you see in my right hand, and of the seven lamps of gold: the seven stars are messengers of the seven congregations; and the seven lamps which you see, are seven congregations.
