Revelation 1
1 [This book tells the message] that God revealed to Jesus Christ. God revealed it to him in order that he might reveal to his servants the [things/events] that must happen soon. Jesus communicated [this message] to [me], his servant John, by sending his angel to me.
Hiche hi Yeshua Christa a kon a Thuphondoh, Pathen in thil hungsohvah ding ho asohte ahetsah ahi. Aman hiche thuphondoh hi avantil khat asola asoh John henga aphondoh ahi.
2 [As I write it, I], John, am truthfully reporting everything that I saw [and heard], the message from God that Jesus Christ [truthfully reported to me].
Ama chun amuchan tahsan umtah'a aseidoh ahi. Hiche hi Pathen Thule Yeshua Christa thudol ahettohsah na thulhut ahi.
3 [God is] pleased with those who read [this book to the congregations], and he will be pleased with those who listen carefully to it and obey what [he has commanded in this prophetic message that I] am writing. [So read this message to the congregations, listen carefully to it, and obey it], because [these things that Jesus has revealed] will happen soon.
Houbung henga hiche gaova thu kiseidoh ho sima, chule ja'a chule asunga kisun ho chinga chu Pathen in phatthei aboh ding ahi: ijeh ham itileh aphat hi anaitai.
4 [I], John, am [writing this] to [you believers in] the seven congregations [that are located] in Asia [province]. [I pray that God the Father, God’s Spirit, and Jesus Christ] be kind to (OR, bless) you and cause you to have [inner] peace. [God the Father is] the one who exists, who has always existed, and who will always exist. The Spirit [of God, who] is in front of God’s throne, has [all kinds of power] (OR, The Spirit of God [is symbolized] by seven spirits who are in front of God’s throne).
Hiche lekhathot hi John a kona Asia gam'a houbung sagi ho henga ding ahi. Auma, aum jingsa chule ahung umnalai ding; Laltouna maiya Lhagao sagi;
5 Jesus Christ is the one who has faithfully told [people about God]. He is the first one (whom God has raised from the dead/who became alive again after being dead), in order [to show that God will raise us who trust in Jesus]. Jesus is the one who rules the kings of the earth. He is the one who loves us. He is the one who has erased the record our sins. He did that by shedding his blood [when he died on the cross].
chule Yeshua Christaa konin-Lungset le cham-lungmon nachunguva umhen. Ama hiche ho thudol'a hettohsah tahsan umtah ahin, athilah a kona thoudoh masapa, chule vannoi leiset lengho chunga vipopa ahi. Aman eingailut uva chule eiho dinga athisan aso jal'a ichonsetnauva kona eilha ong jeh uvin loupina jouse Amaa hijing hen.
6 He is [the one who] has caused us to become people whose lives God rules, and he has made us to be priests [who serve] God his Father. [As a result of this, we acknowledge that] Jesus Christ is eternally divine and eternally powerful. (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
Aman Apa Pathena dinga Lenggam thempuhoa eisemu ahitai. Amaa chun Loupina jouse le thaneina jouse a-imatih chanin hijinghen! Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Listen carefully! Christ will surely come in the midst of the clouds [in order that he may judge the rebellious people of earth], and everyone [SYN] will see him [come]. Even those who [are responsible for] piercing [and killing] him [MTY] [will see him come. People from] all people-groups on earth will mourn because he [will punish them]. (Amen!/May it be so.)
Veuvin! Van'a meipiho toh kilhonin ahunge. Chule mitin in Ama chu amu dingu ahi-Ama tengcha a sunho jengin jong Amu dingu ahi. Chule vannoi namtin Ama jeh a lunghem dingu ahi. Hiti chu hihen! Amen.
8 The Lord God declares, “I am the one who created [everything], and I am the [one who will cause everything to] end [MET].” He is the one who exists, who has always existed, and who will always exist. He is the Almighty One.
“Keima Alpha le Omega–apatna le achaina chu kahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseiye. “Keima auma, anaum jingsa, chule ahung umnalai ding Hatchungnung kahi,” ati.
9 I, John, your fellow believer, am suffering as you [are] because of our letting Jesus rule [our lives]. We are steadfastly enduring [trials] because of our relationship with him. I was punished by being sent/exiled to Patmos island because [of my proclaiming] God’s message and telling [people about] Jesus.
Keima, John hi, nasopi le Pathen Lenggam sunga gimthohna a chan nanei khompi chule Yeshuan eikounauva thohhattah a panga kahi. Keima Pathen Thu seiphongna le Yeshua thu hettohsah jaljeh a hungkilekit talou dinga Patmos Twikol a eikisolmang ahi.
10 [God’s] Spirit took control of me on one of the days [that we believers met to worship] the Lord.
Hichu Pakai nikho ahin, chuin keiman Lhagaovin Pathen kahouvin ahi. Phulou helouvin, keiman kanung lama konin aw gingtah khat sumkon hung gin tobang kajai.
11 [At that time], I heard behind me someone [speaking to me as loudly and as clearly] [SIM] as a trumpet. He was saying [to me], “Write on a scroll what you see, and send it to seven congregations. Send it to [the congregations] in Ephesus [city], in Smyrna [city], in Pergamum [city], in Thyatira [city], in Sardis [city], in Philadelphia [city], and in Laodicea [city].”
Hichun, “Namu chasun chu lekhabu khat ah sun in, chule houbung sagi ho: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, chule Laodicea khopi a umho koma thot'in,” eiti.
12 [In this vision] I turned in order that I might see who had spoken to me [SYN]. When I turned,
Kakoma thusei chu koiham tia kakiheileh keiman sana-meivah khom sagi chu kamutai.
13 I saw seven golden lampstands. In the midst of the lampstands there was [someone] who looked like he came from heaven. He wore a robe that reached to his feet, and he wore a gold band around his chest.
Chule alailung a thaomeikhom ho lah a ding khat chu Mihem Chapa tobang ahi. Ama chun ponchol khat sanapon amongkai aoma avei chu kamui.
14 The hair on his head was white like white wool [or] like snow. His eyes were [shining brightly] [SIM], like a flame of fire.
Alu le asam chu samul tobang ahin, buhbang ban'in abangin ahi. Chule amit teni chu meikong toh abangin ahi.
15 His feet [looked] like brass that glows [as it is being] purified {as [people] purify it} in a furnace. [When he spoke], his voice [sounded] like the sound [made by] a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide river of rushing water).
Akengphang teni chu ngen kipot jolsel meikonga kilhathengsel tobang ahin, chule a aw chu twikhanglen kinong gin tobang ahi.
16 In his right hand he held seven stars. A sword that had two sharp edges extended from his mouth. His face [shone as bright] as the sun shines [at midday] [MTY].
Aman akhut jetlam'a ahsi sagi achoiyin, chule akama konin hemto-chemjam ahung potdoh'in ahi. Chule amaiso chu nisavah pettah tobang ahi jengin ahi.
17 When I saw him, I fell down at his feet [and was unable to move or speak] [SIM], as though [I were] dead. But he put his right hand on me and said to me, “Don’t be afraid! I am the one who created [all things] and the [one who will cause all things to] end.
Keiman Ama kamu chun, keima athi tobang leuvin akengphang bul'a kalhu jengin ahi. Hinla Aman akhut jetlam in eituh in, aseiyin, “Kicha hih in! Keima amasa le anunungpen kahi.
19 So write the [vision] that you are seeing. Write about the [conditions] that exist now, and the [events] that are about to happen next.
Namusa chengse-tutua sohdoh thil ho chule ahung sohding ho geiyin jih in.
20 The meaning of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and the seven golden lampstands [that you saw is this]: The seven stars [in my hand represent the leaders, who are like] angels, [who watch over] the seven congregations, and the [seven] lampstands [represent] the seven congregations.”
Hiche hi kakhut jetlam'a nangman namu ahsi sagi ho le thaomeikhom sagi ho chu ahi. Ahsi sagi ho chu houbung sagi lhacha ho ahin, chule thaomeikhom sagi ho chu houbung sagi ho ahiuve,” ati.
