Revelation 1
1 A revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave to Him to show to His servants what things must quickly come to pass; and He signified [it], having sent through His messenger to 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 testified [to] the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as he also saw.
ki te temwaye pawòl Bondye a, ak temwayaj Jésus Kri a, menm a tout sa li te wè yo.
3 Blessed is he who is reading, and those hearing the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it, for the time is near!
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 assemblies that [are] in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits that 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, the faithful witness, the firstborn out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to Him loving us and having released us from our sins in His 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 [He] has also made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him—the glory and the power through the ages of the ages! 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 comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all the tribes of the land will wail because of Him. Yes! 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 the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, says the LORD, who is, and who was, and who is coming—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 [am] also your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the kingdom and endurance of Jesus Christ, was in the island that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of 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 I heard a great voice behind me, as of a trumpet, saying,
Mwen te nan Lespri a nan jou Senyè a, e mwen te tande dèyè m yon gwo vwa tankou son a yon twonpèt,
11 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “Write what you see in a scroll, and send [it] to the seven assemblies that [are] in Asia: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to 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 spoke with me, and having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
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 lampstands, [One] like a Son of Man, clothed to the foot, and having been girded around at the breasts 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 and His head and hairs [were] white, as if white wool—as snow, and His eyes 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 to frankincense-colored brass, as having been fired in a furnace, and His voice as a 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 having seven stars in His right hand, and out of His mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and His countenance—as the sun shining in its might.
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 placed His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; 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 that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to come after these things;
“Konsa, ekri bagay ke ou gen tan wè yo, bagay ki la yo, ak bagay ki va rive pi devan an.
20 the secret of the seven stars that you have seen on My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lampstands that you have seen are seven assemblies.”
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.”
