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.
This is the revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John.
2 Anih loh Pathen kah olka neh Jesuh Khrih kah olphong a hmuh boeih te a phong.
John testified about the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all the things that 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 the one who reads aloud this prophecy, and those who listen to the words of this prophecy and who obey what is written in it, because the time is near.
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 in Asia: May grace be to you and peace from the one who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,
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, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the one who loves us and has released 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 )
he has made us a kingdom, priests for his God and Father—to him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
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.
Look, he is coming with the clouds; every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him. Yes, 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 the alpha and the omega,” says the Lord God, “the one who is, and who was, and who is to come, 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 the one who shares with you in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are in Jesus—was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony about Jesus.
10 Boeipa kah khohnin ah mueihla neh ka pha hatah ka hnukah olueng bangla ol ue ka yaak.
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day. I heard behind me a loud voice like 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.
It said, “Write what you see in a book, and send it to the seven churches—to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamum, to Thyatira, to Sardis, 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.
I turned around to see whose voice was speaking to me, and as I turned I saw seven golden lampstands.
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.
In the middle of the lampstands there was one like a son of man, wearing a long robe that reached down to his feet and a golden sash around his chest.
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 hair were as white as wool—as white as snow—and his eyes were like 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.
His feet were like polished bronze, like bronze that had been refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many rushing 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.
He had seven stars in his right hand, and a sword with two sharp edges was coming out of his mouth. His face was shining like the sun at its strongest.
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.
When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. 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 , Hadēs )
and the one who lives. I was dead, but look, I live forever! And I have the keys of death and of Hades. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Te dongah na hmuh te khaw, aka om rhoek neh hekah phoeiah aka thoeng ham te daek lah.
Therefore write down what you have seen, what is now, and what will take place after this.
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.
As for the hidden meaning about the seven stars you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.”
