1 Jesuh Khrih kah pumphoenah te Pathen loh anih taengah a paek. Te te a sal rhoek taengah tueng ham thamaa la a thoeng a kuek. Te dongah a puencawn lamloh a tueih tih a sal Johan taengla a phoe sak.
THE revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to shew to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass; and sending by his angel, he shewed them to his servant John:
2 Anih loh Pathen kah olka neh Jesuh Khrih kah olphong a hmuh boeih te a phong.
who was a witness for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ, and for the things which he saw.
3 A tae vaengah tonghma ol dongkah ol te a yaak tih a khuikah a daek te aka tuem tah a yoethen. A tue tah yoei coeng.
Blessed is he that readeth, and they who hear the words of this prophecy, and observe the things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 Johan loh Asia kah hlangboel parhih taengah a yaak sak. Om tih a om phoeiah aka lo li taengkah neh a ngolkhoel hmaiah aka om Mueihla parhih lamkah khaw,
John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be with you, and peace from him, who is, and who was, and who is coming; and from the seven spirits which are before the throne of God,
5 Uepom laipai, aka duek rhoek khuikah camingomthang neh diklai manghai rhoek kah boei, mamih aka lungnah tih a thii neh mamih kah tholhnah lamkah mamih aka hlam Jesuh Khrih lamkah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah nangmih taengah om saeh.
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, and first-born from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth: to him who loved us, and washed us from our sins by his blood,
6 Mamih khaw ram la n' saii tih a napa Pathen taengah khosoih la aka nawn amah te thangpomnah neh thaomnah kumhal kah kumhal duela soep saeh. Amen. (aiōn g165)
and made us kings and priests to his God and Father; to him be glory and might for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Khomai neh ha pawk coeng ke. Te dongah amah te mik cungkuem neh amah aka thun rhoek loh a hmuh uh ni. Te vaengah diklai kah koca boeih loh anih a rhaengsae thil uh ni. Thuem Amen.
Behold! he is coming with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall lament bitterly, smiting their bosoms, because of him: even so! Amen.
8 Kai tah Alpha neh Omega la ka om. A om tangtae neh aka om li tih aka lo tloengkhoelh Boeipa Pathen loh a thui.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is coming―the Almighty.
9 Kai Johan, nangmih kah manuca neh phacip phabaem neh a ram ah aka bawn tih Jesuh ah uehnah loh Patmo la a khue tuisanglak ah Pathen kah olka neh Jesuh kah laipai ham ka pha.
I John, your brother and companion also with you in the tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island which is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 Boeipa kah khohnin ah mueihla neh ka pha hatah ka hnukah olueng bangla ol ue ka yaak.
I was rapt in spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,
11 Te vaengah, “Na hmuh te cayol ah daek lamtah Ephisa, Smyna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, neh Laodicea kahhlangboel parhih te pat,” a ti.
saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last; and what thou seest write in a book, and send to the churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
12 Te dongah kai taengah ol aka thui te sawt ham ka mael. Te phoeiah ka mael hatah sui hmaitung parhih ka hmuh.
And I turned to see what voice spake to me. And when I turned round I saw seven lamps of gold;
13 Hmaitung kah a laklo ah hlang capa phek te om. A dung la a hni a bai tih a rhang ah sui lamko a vah.
and in the midst of the seven lamps one like unto a son of man, clothed to the very feet, and girded about the breasts with a golden zone;
14 Anih kah a lu khaw, a sam khaw tumul aka bok vuelsong bangla bok tih a mik khaw hmai bangla tak.
his head and flowing locks white as a white fleece of wool, even as the snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;
15 A kho tah hmai alh ah a rhoh tangtae rhohum ngo phek la om tih a ol tah tuipuei ol bangla len.
and his feet resembled molten brass, as though they glowed in the furnace; and his voice was as the roar of many waters.
16 A kut bantang kut ah aisi parhih om tih a ka lamkah voeivang ah aka haat thunglang ha thoeng. A maelhmai tah a thaomnah neh khomik bangla sae.
And he held in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as when the sun shineth in his meridian lustre.
17 Anih ka hmuh vaengah aka duek bangla a kho kung ah ka bung. Te vaengah a bantang kut kai soah a tloeng tih, “Rhih boeh, Kai tah lamhma neh hnukkhueng la ka om.
And when I beheld him, I fell at his feet as dead: and he laid his right hand upon me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last,
18 Ka hing bal tih ka duek bal coeng dae kumhal kah kumhal duela aka hing la ka om coeng he. Dueknah neh saelkhui kah cabi khaw ka khueh. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
and I am the living one, though I was dead and lo! I am alive for evermore, Amen; and I hold the keys of hell and of death. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
19 Te dongah na hmuh te khaw, aka om rhoek neh hekah phoeiah aka thoeng ham te daek lah.
Write the things which thou seest, and the things which are, and the things which shall be in future after these,
20 Aisi parhih kah olhuep tah kai kah bantang ah sui hmaitung parhih lah na hmuh coeng te. Aisi parhih tah hlangboel parhih kah puencawn la om uh tih hmaitung parhih tah hlangboel parhih ni,” a ti.
the mystery of the seven stars which thou seest in my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamps which thou seest are the seven churches.
