< Revelation 1 >
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to make known to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass: and signified, sending by 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 hath given testimony to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen.
ẹni tí ó jẹ́rìí ohun gbogbo tí ó rí, èyí ì ni ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, àti ẹ̀rí ti Jesu Kristi.
3 Blessed is he, that readeth and heareth the words of this prophecy; and keepeth those things which are written in it; for the time is at hand.
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 which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace from him that is, and that was, and that is to come, and from the seven spirits which are 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, who is the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own 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 And hath made us a kingdom, and priests to God and his Father, to him be glory and empire for ever 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 cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also that pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth shall bewail themselves because of him. Even so. 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 Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who 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 your partner in tribulation, and in the kingdom, and patience in Christ Jesus, was in the island, which is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of 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 I was in the spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Mo wà nínú Ẹ̀mí ní ọjọ́ Olúwa, mo sì gbọ́ ohùn ńlá kan lẹ́yìn mi, bí ìró ìpè,
11 Saying: What thou seest, write in a book, and send to the seven churches which are in Asia, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to 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 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks:
Mo sì yí padà láti wo ohùn tí ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀. Nígbà tí mo yípadà, mo rí ọ̀pá fìtílà wúrà méje,
13 And in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, one like to the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
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 And his head and his hairs were white, as white wool, and as snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,
Orí rẹ̀ àti irun rẹ̀ funfun bí ẹ̀gbọ̀n òwú, ó funfun bí yìnyín; ojú rẹ̀ sì dàbí, ọwọ́ iná.
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound 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 And he had in his right hand seven stars. And from his mouth came out a sharp two edged sword: and his face was as the sun shineth in his power.
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 And when I had seen 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,
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 And alive, and was dead, and behold I am living for ever and ever, and have the keys of death and of hell. (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 Write therefore the things which thou hast seen, and which are, and which must be done hereafter.
“Kọ̀wé nítorí náà ohun tí ìwọ ti rí, àti ti ohun tí ń bẹ, àti ti ohun tí yóò hù lẹ́yìn èyí;
20 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.
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.
