Revelation 1
1 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel 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 God's word, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything 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 who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are 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 churches that 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 who 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 of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and freed us from our sins by 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 and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever 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 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn over 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 the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who 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, your brother and fellow-partner with you in persecution, Kingdom, and patient endurance in Jesus, was on the island that is called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
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 behind me a loud voice, like 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, "What you see, write on a scroll and send to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, 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 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. 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 among the lampstands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
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 hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
Tèt Li ak cheve Li te blan tankou lèn blanch, tankou lanèj. Zye li te tankou yon flanm dife.
15 His feet were like burnished bronze, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
Pye Li te tankou bwonz cho lè l chofe nan fou, epi vwa l te tankou bri anpil dlo.
16 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
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 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "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 therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen 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 you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches. The seven lampstands are 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.”
