Revelation 1
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John:
Revelasyon a Jésus Kri, ke Bondye te bay Li pou montre a sèvitè Li yo; bagay ki t ap oblije rive avan lontan yo, ke Li te voye kominike pa zanj Li, a sèvitè Li, Jean,
2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
ki te temwaye pawòl Bondye a, ak temwayaj Jésus Kri a, menm a tout sa li te wè yo.
3 Blessed [is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time [is] at hand.
Beni se sila ki li e sila ki tande pawòl pwofesi sila yo, e ki prete atansyon a bagay ki ekri ladann yo. Paske tan an pwòch.
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
Jean, a sèt legliz ki an Asie yo: Gras pou nou ak lapè, ki soti nan Sila ki la, ki te la, e ki va vini an; ki soti anplis nan sèt lespri ki devan twòn Li an;
5 And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
e nan Jésus Kri, temwen fidèl la, premye ne de lanmò a, e chèf a wa latè yo. A Sila ki renmen nou an, ki te libere nou de peche nou yo pa san Li—
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
epi Li te fè nou vin yon Wayòm, prèt a Bondye e Papa Li a. A Li menm laglwa, ak règn pou tout tan e pou tout tan. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Gade byen, l ap vini avèk nwaj yo, e tout zye va wè L, menm sila ki te pèse L yo. Tout tribi sou latè yo va fè gwo lamantasyon sou Li. Se konsa l ap fèt. Amen.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
“Mwen se Alfa a e Omega a,” di Senyè Bondye a: “Sila ki la, ki te la, e ki va vini an, Toupwisan an.”
9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Mwen, Jean, frè nou, ki patisipe avèk nou nan tribilasyon, wayòm, ak pèseverans ki nan Jésus a, te sou lil ki rele Patmos la, akoz pawòl a Bondye ak temwayaj de Jésus a.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Mwen te nan Lespri a nan jou Senyè a, e mwen te tande dèyè m yon gwo vwa tankou son a yon twonpèt,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
ki t ap di: “Ekri nan yon liv sa ou wè a, e voye l nan sèt legliz yo; nan Éphèse, Smyrne, Pergame, Thyatire, Sardes, Philadelphie ak Laodicée.”
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Alò, mwen te vire pou wè vwa ki t ap pale avè m nan. Epi nan vire, mwen te wè sèt chandelye ki fèt an lò.
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
Nan mitan chandelye yo, mwen te wè yon moun tankou yon fis a lòm, abiye nan yon wòb ki rive jis nan pye, e mare lestonmak li ak yon sentiwon an lò.
14 His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire;
Tèt Li ak cheve Li te blan tankou lèn blanch, tankou lanèj. Zye li te tankou yon flanm dife.
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Pye Li te tankou bwonz cho lè l chofe nan fou, epi vwa l te tankou bri anpil dlo.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength.
Nan men dwat Li, Li te kenbe sèt etwal. Yon nepe file de bò te sòti nan bouch Li. Figi Li te tankou solèy k ap briye nan pwisans li.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Lè m te wè Li, mwen te tonbe nan pye Li tankou yon moun mouri. Li te poze men dwat Li sou mwen, e te di: “Pa pè; Mwen se premye ak dènye a,
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
“Konsa, ekri bagay ke ou gen tan wè yo, bagay ki la yo, ak bagay ki va rive pi devan an.
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 which thou sawest are the seven churches.
Pou mistè a sèt zetwal ke ou te wè nan men dwat Mwen an, ak sèt chandelye yo: Men li: sèt zetwal yo, se zanj a sèt legliz yo, e sèt chandelye yo, se sèt legliz yo.”
