The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to shew to his servants things which 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 bare witness to the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, and to 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.
Happy is he that readeth, and those that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein: for the time is near.

John to the seven churches in Asia---Grace and peace be to you, 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, who is the faithful witness, the first-born from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him that loved 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, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.

I John, who am also your brother, and companion in the affliction, 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 Topa ni in Thaa sung ah ka om hi, taciang ka nungsang pan in lemle bang aw nging mama ka za a,
Here I was in the Spirit on the Lord's-day: and 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, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last; and, What thou seest write in a book, and send it to the seven churches in Asia, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, 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 spake to me: and when I 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 seven candlesticks one like the Son of man, clothed with a long robe, and girded about 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 like white wool, as white as snow; and his eyes 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 like fine brass, as if they were glowing in a furnace: and his voice 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 when he 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 upon me, and said to me, "Fear not,
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 what thou hast seen, the things which are, and which are to be hereafter."
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.
As to 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 which thou sawest are the seven churches.
