Revelation 1
1 Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to shew to his bondmen what must shortly take place; and he signified [it], sending by his angel, to his bondman 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 the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all things 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 that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things 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 which [are] in Asia: Grace 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;
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 from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in 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 made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father: to him [be] the glory and the might to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
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 comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. 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, saith [the] Lord God, he 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 fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience, in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.
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 became in [the] Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of 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 thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to 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 And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
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 in the midst of the [seven] lamps [one] like [the] Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle:
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 hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as 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 and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as 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 and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power.
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 And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; 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 what thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to be after these.
“Kwala se o ntseng o se bona, le se o tlaa tlogang o se supegediwa.
20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou hast seen on my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. — The seven stars are angels of the seven assemblies; and the seven lamps 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.
