Revelation 1
1 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, John,
Lokwalo lo lo senola ditiro dingwe tse di tlaa akofang di diragala ka lobaka lo lo tlang mo botshelong jwa ga Jesu Keresete. Modimo o mo letlile go senolela motlhanka wa gagwe Johane dilo tse mo ponatshegelong; mme moengele a romelwa a tswa legodimong go tlhalosa gore ponatshegelo e raya eng.
2 who testified to God’s word and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.
Johane a kwala gotlhe mo, ebong Mafoko a Modimo le a ga Jesu Keresete le sengwe se a se utlwileng le se a se bonyeng.
3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is near.
Fa o balela phuthego polelo pele e, o tlaa amogela lesego le le faphegileng le le tswang mo Moreneng. Ba ba e reetsang fa e balwa ba bo ba dira se e se bolelang, le bone ba tlaa segofala. Gonne lobaka lo atametse lo dilo tse di tlaa diragalang ka lone.
4 John, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;
Lo ke lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go: Johane A kwalela: Diphuthego tse supa mo Asia. Ditsala tse di rategang: A tshegofatso le kagiso tse di tswang mo Modimong di nne le lona. Yo o leng teng, le yo o neng a le teng le yoo tlang! Le mo meweng e e supang e e fa pele ga setilo sa gagwe sa Bogosi;
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—
le mo go Jesu Keresete yo ka go ikanyega a re senolelang boammaaruri jotlhe. Ke ene wa ntlha go tsoga mo baswing, le go sa tlholeng a a swa. O mogolo go feta kgosi nngwe le nngwe mo lefatsheng lotlhe. A a bakwe yo o re ratang ka metlha yotlhe le yo o re gololang mo dibeng tsa rona ka go re tshololela madi a gagwe a botshelo.
6 and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to him be the glory and the dominion for the ages (aiōn g165) of the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.
O re phuthetse mo Bogosing jwa gagwe a bo a re dira baperesiti ba Modimo Rraagwe. Mo neeng kgalalelo ka go sa feleng! o busa ka bosakhutleng! Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
Bonang! O e tla, a dikaganyeditswe ke maru; mme matlho otlhe a tlaa mmona, ee, le ba ba mo tlhabileng. Le dichaba di tlaa lela ka khutsafalo le ka poifo fa a tla, Ee! Amen!
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
“Ke nna Alefa le Omeka, Tshimologo le Bokhutlo jwa dilo tsotlhe,” go bua jalo Modimo, yo e leng Morena, yo e leng Mothatayotlhe yo o leng teng, le yo o neng a le teng le yo o tlang gape!
9 I John, your brother and partner with you in the oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God’s Word and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Ke nna, mokaulengwe wa lona Johane, yo ke tlhakanetseng pitlagano le lona, yo ke lo kwalelang lokwalo lo. Le nna ke abalana le lona bopelotelele jo Jesu o re bo nayang, ebile re tlaa tlhakanela Bogosi jwa gagwe! Ke ne ke le mo setlhaketlhakeng sa Patemosa, ke kobetswe teng ka ntlha ya go rera Lefoko la Modimo, le go bolela se ke se itseng kaga Jesu Keresete.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
E ne e le ka letsatsi la Morena mme ebile ke ne ke obama, fa ka tshoganetso ke utlwa lentswe le le tsholetsegileng fa morago ga me, lentswe le le neng le utlwala jaaka tumo ya torompeta.
11 saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
Le re, “Ke nna Alefa le Omega, Tshimologo le Bokhutlo!” Mme ka mo utlwa a re, “Kwala sengwe le sengwe se o se bonang, mme o romele lokwalo lwa gago mo diphuthegong di supa tse di mo Asia: mo phuthegong e e mo Efeso, e e mo Semerena, tse di mo Peregamose, Thiatira, Seredisa, Filadelefia mo Laodisia.”
12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
Erile fa ke retologa bona yo o neng a bua le nna, teng fa morago ga me ga bo go le dipone di supa tsa gauta.
13 And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
Mme mo gare ga tsone ga bo go eme mongwe yo o neng a tshwana le Jesu yo o neng a ipitsa Morwa Motho, a apere kobo e telele a itlamile ka moitlamo wa gauta go kgabaganya sehuba sa gagwe.
14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
Moriri wa gagwe o ne o le mosweu jaaka bobowa kgotsa kapoko, le matlho a gagwe a ntse jaaka kgabo ya molelo.
15 His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
Dinao tsa gagwe di ne di phatsima jaaka kgotlho e e ntlafaditsweng mo leubelong le lentswe la gagwe la gagwe le Suma jaaka makhubu a lewatle a itaaka lotshitshi.
16 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
O ne a tshotse dinaledi di supa mo seatleng sa gagwe se segolo le chaka e e lootsegileng e e ntlha pedi mo molomong wa gagwe, le sefatlhogo sa gagwe se phatshima jaaka nonofo ya letsatsi mo go senang maru.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last,
Erile ke mmona, ka wela fa dinaong tsa gagwe jaaka ekete ke sule; mme a baya seatla sa gagwe se segolo mo go nna a re, “Se boife! Le fa ke le wa Ntlha le wa Bofelo,
19 Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.
“Kwala se o ntseng o se bona, le se o tlaa tlogang o se supegediwa.
20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.
Se ke tlhaloso ya dinaledi tse di supang tse o di bonyeng mo seatleng sa me se segolo, le dipone tse di supang tsa gauta: dinaledi tse di supang ke baeteledipele ba diphuthego di supa, mme ditlhomo tse di supang ke diphuthego ka bo tsone.
