< Revelation 1 >
1 This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John,
Ìfihàn ti Jesu Kristi, tí Ọlọ́run fi fún un, láti fihàn fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, ohun tí kò le ṣàìṣẹ ní lọ́ọ́lọ́ọ́; ó sì ránṣẹ́, ó sì fi í hàn láti ọwọ́ angẹli rẹ̀ wá fún Johanu, ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀,
2 who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
ẹni tí ó jẹ́rìí ohun gbogbo tí ó rí, èyí ì ni ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, àti ẹ̀rí ti Jesu Kristi.
3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and obey what is written in it, because the time is near.
Ẹni ìbùkún ni ẹni tí ń kà, àti àwọn tí ó ń gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ìsọtẹ́lẹ̀ yìí, tí ó sì ń pa nǹkan wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí a kọ sínú rẹ̀ mọ́, nítorí ìgbà kù sí dẹ̀dẹ̀.
4 John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him who is and was and is to come, and from the seven Spirits before His throne,
Johanu, Sí àwọn ìjọ méje tí ń bẹ ní Asia: Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ fún yín, àti àlàáfíà, láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ó ń bẹ, tí ó sì ti wà, tí ó sì ń bọ̀ wá; àti láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ẹ̀mí méje tí ń bẹ níwájú ìtẹ́ rẹ̀;
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood,
àti láti ọ̀dọ̀ Jesu Kristi, ẹlẹ́rìí olóòtítọ́, àkọ́bí nínú àwọn òkú, àti aláṣẹ àwọn ọba ayé. Ẹni tí ó fẹ́ wa, ẹni tí ó gbà wá kúrò lọ́wọ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa nípa ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀,
6 who has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen. (aiōn )
tí ó sì ti fi wá jẹ ọba àti àlùfáà láti sin Ọlọ́run àti Baba rẹ; tirẹ̀ ni ògo àti ìjọba láé àti láéláé. Àmín. (aiōn )
7 Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him—even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.
“Kíyèsi i, o ń bọ̀ nínú àwọsánmọ̀, gbogbo ojú ni yóò sì rí i, àti àwọn tí ó gún un ní ọ̀kọ̀ pẹ̀lú”; àti gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé ni “yóò sì máa pohùnréré ẹkún nítorí rẹ̀.”
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty.
“Èmi ni Alfa àti Omega,” ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wí, “ẹni tí ó ń bẹ, tí ó ti wà, tí ó sì ń bọ̀ wá, alágbára.”
9 I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance that are in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and my testimony about Jesus.
Èmi, Johanu, arákùnrin yín àti alábápín pẹ̀lú yín nínú wàhálà àti ìjọba àti sùúrù tí ń bẹ nínú Jesu, wà ní erékúṣù tí a ń pè ní Patmo, nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, àti nítorí ẹ̀rí Jesu Kristi.
10 On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
Mo wà nínú Ẹ̀mí ní ọjọ́ Olúwa, mo sì gbọ́ ohùn ńlá kan lẹ́yìn mi, bí ìró ìpè,
11 saying, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
Ó ń wí pé, “Kọ́ ìwé rẹ̀, ohun tí ìwọ rí, kí ó sí fi ránṣẹ́ sí àwọn ìjọ méje; sí Efesu, àti sí Smirna, àti sí Pargamu, àti sí Tiatira, àti sí Sardi, àti sí Filadelfia, àti sí Laodikea.”
12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
Mo sì yí padà láti wo ohùn tí ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀. Nígbà tí mo yípadà, mo rí ọ̀pá fìtílà wúrà méje,
13 and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest.
àti láàrín àwọn ọ̀pá fìtílà náà, ẹnìkan tí ó dàbí “ọmọ ènìyàn,” tí a wọ̀ ní aṣọ tí ó kanlẹ̀ dé ẹsẹ̀, tí a sì fi àmùrè wúrà dì ní ẹ̀gbẹ́.
14 The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a blazing fire.
Orí rẹ̀ àti irun rẹ̀ funfun bí ẹ̀gbọ̀n òwú, ó funfun bí yìnyín; ojú rẹ̀ sì dàbí, ọwọ́ iná.
15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters.
Ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ sì dàbí idẹ dáradára, bí ẹni pé a dà á nínú ìléru; ohùn rẹ̀ sì dàbí ìró omi púpọ̀.
16 He held in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
Ó sì ní ìràwọ̀ méje ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀; àti láti ẹnu rẹ̀ wá ni idà olójú méjì mímú ti jáde. Ojú rẹ̀ sì dàbí oòrùn tí ó ń fi agbára rẹ̀ hàn.
17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He placed His right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,
Nígbà tí mo rí i, mo wólẹ̀ ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ bí ẹni tí ó kú. Ó sì fi ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ lé mi, ó ń wí fún mi pé, “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù. Èmi ni ẹni ìṣáájú àti ẹni ìkẹyìn.
18 the Living One. I was dead, and behold, now I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of Death and of Hades. (aiōn , Hadēs )
Èmi ni ẹni tí ó ń bẹ láààyè, tí ó sì ti kú; sì kíyèsi i, èmi sì ń bẹ láààyè sí i títí láé! Mo sì ní kọ́kọ́rọ́ ikú àti ti ipò òkú lọ́wọ́. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Therefore write down the things you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that will happen after this.
“Kọ̀wé nítorí náà ohun tí ìwọ ti rí, àti ti ohun tí ń bẹ, àti ti ohun tí yóò hù lẹ́yìn èyí;
20 This is the mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ tí ìràwọ̀ méje náà tí ìwọ rí ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi, àti ọ̀pá wúrà fìtílà méje náà. Ìràwọ̀ méje ni àwọn angẹli ìjọ méje náà: àti ọ̀pá fìtílà méje náà ní àwọn ìjọ méje.
