The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants what must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John;
2 John i Pathian kammal a ceptena, Jesus Christ tettipanna le a mu thu theampo tettipang hi.
who bore witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, —of whatever he saw.
3 Hi mailamthu pualak nate sim a, a ngai te le a ki at theampo a zui te thuphatoai a hihi: banghangziam cile a hun hong nai zo hi.
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written therein; for the time is at hand.

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be to you, and peace, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before his throne;

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him that loveth us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 A Pa Pathian mai ah kumpi le thiampi in hong vawt pa tung ah; minthanna le ukzawkna a tawntung in om tahen. Amen. (aiōn g165)

I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
9 Jesus Christ i kumpingam le thuakna sung ah na suapui le haksatna na thuakpui uh keima John sia Pathian thu le Jesus Christ tettipanna hang in Patmos tuikulh ah ka om hi.
I John, your brother, and companion in the affliction and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, was in the isle that is called Patmos, on account of the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus.
10 Topa ni in Thaa sung ah ka om hi, taciang ka nungsang pan in lemle bang aw nging mama ka za a,
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day; and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Keima sia Alpha le Omega, amasabel le atawpna ka hihi: na mu thu te laibu sung ah at in, taciang Asia ngam a om pawlpi sali; Ephesus, Symrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia le Laodicea te tung ah thak in, hong ci hi.
saying: What thou seest, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardes, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
12 Keima hong paupui sia i aw ka zak sia en tu in ka kihei a, kham khuaimei vakna sali ka mu hi;
And I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks,
13 Taciang tua meivakna sali i laizang ah mihing Tapa taw a kibang khat ka mu hi, Ama sia a peang dong puantualpui sil a, a awm ah kham awmkam taw hen hi.
and in the midst of the candlesticks one like to a son of man, clothed with a garment reaching down to the feet, and girded at the breasts with a golden girdle.
14 A lu le a sam te sia tuumul bang in ngo a, vuk bang in pak hi; taciang a mitte sia meikuang bang a hihi;
His head and his hairs were white as white wool, as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 A peang te sia mei taw a ki thiangsak tau ngo taw kibang a, a aw sia tui tam mama i aw taw kibang hi.
and his feet were like fine brass, as if burning in a furnace; and his voice was as the sound of many waters.
16 A khut ziatsang ah aksi sali nei hi; a kam sung pan in langni hiam namsau pusuak a; a mai sia sun nitang bang in tang hi.
And he had in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17 Ama ka mu ciang in, a peang ah mithi bang in ka puk hi. Taciang a khut ziatsang sia ka tung ah hong nga a, Lau heak in; Keima sia a masabel le a khakbel ka hihi:
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand on me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,
19 Na mu sa thu te ahizong, tu in a omlai thu te ahizong, maisang a om pheang tu thu te theampo at in;
Write therefore the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall be after these;
20 Ka khut ziatsang a om aksi sali le kham meivakna sali na mu te thuku sia hibang a hihi. Aksi sali sia pawlpi sali te i vantung mite hi a: meivakna sali te sia pawlpi sali te a hihi.
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 the seven churches.
