< 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.
Ito ang kapahayagan ni Jesu-Cristo na ibinigay sa kaniya ng Diyos para ipakita sa kaniyang mga lingkod ang mga bagay na malapit nang maganap. Ipinaalam niya ito sa pamamagitan ng pagpapadala ng kaniyang anghel sa kaniyang lingkod na si Juan.
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].
Pinatotohanan ni Juan ang lahat ng kaniyang nakita tungkol sa salita ng Diyos at sa patotoong ibinigay tungkol kay Jesu-Cristo.
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.
Pinagpala ang bumabasa ng malakas— at ang lahat ng nakikinig —sa mga salita ng propesiyang ito at sumunod sa nakasulat dito, dahil ang panahon ay malapit na.
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).
Si Juan, para sa pitong iglesia sa Asya: Sumainyo ang biyaya at kapayapaan mula sa kaniya na siya, at siyang noon, at siyang darating, at mula sa pitong espiritu na nasa harap ng kaniyang trono,
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].
at mula kay Jesu-Cristo, siyang matapat na saksi, ang panganay sa mga patay, at ang tagapamahala ng mga hari sa mundo. Sa kaniya na umiibig sa atin, at nagpalaya sa atin mula sa ating mga kasalanan sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang dugo,
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 )
ginawa niya tayong isang kaharian, mga pari sa Diyos at kaniyang Ama—sa kaniya ang kaluwalhatian at ang kapangyarihan magpakailan pa man. Amen. (aiōn )
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.)
Tingnan mo, siya ay dumarating kasama ng mga ulap; bawat mata ay makikita siya, maging ang mga taong pumako sa kaniya. At ang lahat ng lipi sa lupa ay magluluksa para sa kaniya. Oo, 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.
“Ako ang Alpa at ang Omega, sabi ng Panginoong Diyos, “ang isa na, at siyang noon, at siya na darating, ang Makapangyarihan.”
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.
Ako, si Juan—inyong kapatid at ang isang nakikibahagi sa inyo sa paghihirap at kaharian at matiyagang pagtitiis iyon ay si Jesus—ay nasa isla na tinatawag na Patmos dahil sa salita ng Diyos at patotoo tungkol kay Jesus.
10 [God’s] Spirit took control of me on one of the days [that we believers met to worship] the Lord.
Ako ay nasa Espiritu sa araw ng Panginoon. Narinig ko ang isang malakas tulad ng isang trumpeta sa aking likuran.
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].”
Ito ay sinabi: “Isulat mo sa isang aklat ang iyong nakita at ipadala ito sa pitong mga iglesia—sa Efeso, sa Smirna, sa Pergamo, sa Tiatira, sa Sardis, sa Filadelfia at sa Laodicea.”
12 [In this vision] I turned in order that I might see who had spoken to me [SYN]. When I turned,
Lumingon ako para makita kung kanino ang tinig na kumakausap sa akin, sa aking paglingon, nakita ko ang pitong gintong ilawan.
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.
Sa gitna ng mga ilawan ay mayroong isang katulad ng Anak ng Tao, suot ang isang mahabang balabal na abot pababa sa kaniyang mga paa, at isang gintong sinturon na nakapalibot sa kaniyang dibdib.
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.
Ang kaniyang ulo at buhok ay kasing-puti ng lana, kasing-puti ng niyebe, at ang kaniyang mga mata ay tulad ng ningas ng apoy.
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).
Ang kaniyang mga paa ay tulad ng pinakintab na tanso, tulad ng tanso na pinino sa isang pugon, at ang kaniyang tinig ay tulad ng tunog ng maraming umaagos na tubig.
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].
Sa kaniyang kanang kamay ay may pitong bituin at lumalabas mula sa kaniyang bibig ang isang matalas na magkabilang talim na espada. Ang kaniyang mukha ay nagniningning tulad ng matinding sikat ng araw.
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.
Nang makita ko siya, ako ay bumagsak sa kaniyang paanan tulad ng isang lalaking patay. Ipinatong niya ang kaniyang kamay sa akin at sinabi, “Huwag kang matakot. Ako ang Una at ang Huli,
18 I am the living one. Although I died, I am alive again and will live forever! I have [the power to cause people] to die, and I have authority over the place where all the dead people [are]. (aiōn , Hadēs )
at ang isa na nabubuhay. Ako ay namatay, pero tingnan mo, ako ay buhay magpakailanman! At nasa akin ang mga susi ng kamatayan at ng hades. (aiōn , Hadēs )
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.
Kaya isulat mo ang lahat ng iyong nakita, ano ang ngayon, at ang magaganap pagkatapos nito.
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.”
Patungkol sa nakatagong kahulugan tungkol sa pitong bituin na iyong nakita sa aking kanang kamay, at ang pitong mga gintong ilawan: ang pitong bituin ay ang mga angel ng pitong iglesia, at ang pitong ilawan ay ang pitong mga iglesia.”
