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.
Are waꞌ ri xuqꞌalajisaj ri Jesucristo, ri xya che rumal ri Dios rech kukꞌut chikiwach ri uꞌtaqoꞌn. Ri Jesucristo xutaq loq jun ángel xulubꞌij we jastaq riꞌ che ri utaqoꞌn 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].
Ri Juan kuqꞌalajisaj ri utzij ri Dios, ri utzij ri Jesucristo xuqujeꞌ xuqꞌalajisaj chi qas tzij xril we jastaq riꞌ.
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.
Utz rech ri kusikꞌij we tzij riꞌ xuqujeꞌ utz ke ri kakitatabꞌej we tzij riꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kakiyak pa kanimaꞌ ri jastaq ri tzꞌibꞌatal pa we wuj riꞌ, rumal cher man naj ta chik karaj kakꞌulmataj we jastaq riꞌ.
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).
In in Juan, kintzꞌibꞌaj we wuj riꞌ chike ri e wuqubꞌ komontyox ri e kꞌo pa Asia: Chikꞌamawaꞌj toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril che ri Dios ri areꞌ kꞌo kanoq, areꞌ kꞌo kamik xuqujeꞌ areꞌ kape na; xuqujeꞌ che ri e wuqubꞌ uxlabꞌal ri e kꞌo cho ri utꞌuyulibꞌal ri Dios;
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].
xuqujeꞌ che ri Jesucristo, ri qas kaqꞌalajisan ronojel ri jastaq, ri xkꞌastaj uwach nabꞌe chikiwach konojel ri kaminaqibꞌ, ri kabꞌan rech pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri e taqanelabꞌ cho ri uwachulew, ri xujuloqꞌaj xuqujeꞌ xuchꞌaj ri qamak rukꞌ ri ukikꞌel.
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)
Xuqujeꞌ xubꞌan chaqe chi uj taqanelabꞌ xuqujeꞌ uj chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios rech kaqapatanij ri Dios, ri Tataxel. ¡Che areꞌ yaꞌtal wi kaya ri juluwem xuqujeꞌ ri kwinem chibꞌe qꞌij saq! Jeriꞌ. (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.)
¡Chiwilampeꞌ, ri Cristo kape na pa ri sutzꞌ! Konojel ri winaq kakil na rukꞌ ri kibꞌoqꞌoch, xuqujeꞌ konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew ri xekamisan bꞌik koꞌqꞌ na rumal rech. Jeꞌ jeriꞌ.
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.
“Ri in ri Ajawxel ri kinkwin chubꞌanik ronojel ri jastaq, in kꞌaslik xuqujeꞌ in kꞌas wi loq xuqujeꞌ xa jubꞌiqꞌ kawaj kinopanik, kinbꞌij: In in majibꞌal rech xuqujeꞌ in kꞌisbꞌal rech ronojel.”
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.
In in Juan, in iwachalal, xuqujeꞌ in iwachiꞌl pa ri kꞌax ri kaqariqo pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios xuqujeꞌ pa ri jeqelem ri yaꞌtal chaqe rukꞌ ri Jesús. In in kꞌo pa ri jubꞌiqꞌ chaqiꞌj ulew ri ubꞌiꞌnam Patmos, xa rumal utzijoxik ri utzij ri Dios xuqujeꞌ rumal uqꞌalajisaxik ri Jesús.
10 [God’s] Spirit took control of me on one of the days [that we believers met to worship] the Lord.
Pa ri uqꞌijal ri Ajawxel, in in kꞌo pa ri Uxlabꞌixel, xaq kꞌa te xinta jun ko alaj chꞌabꞌal chwij jetaq ri uchꞌabꞌal jun suꞌ.
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].”
Ri chꞌabꞌal xubꞌij: Chatzꞌibꞌaj pa jun wuj ronojel ri kawilo, kꞌa te riꞌ chataqa chike ri e wuqubꞌ komontyox ri e kꞌo pa Asia: ri komontyox rech Éfeso, Esmirna, Pérgamo, Tiatira, Sardis, Filadelfia xuqujeꞌ ri komontyox pa Laodicea.
12 [In this vision] I turned in order that I might see who had spoken to me [SYN]. When I turned,
Are xintzalqꞌomij chwij chukaꞌyexik ri kinchꞌabꞌenik, xinwil wuqubꞌ kꞌolibꞌal kantela bꞌantal che qꞌana pwaq.
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.
Puꞌnikꞌajil ri kꞌolibꞌal kantela xinwil jun achi kajunumataj rukꞌ ri uKꞌojol ri Achi, ukojom jun nimalaj ratzꞌyaq kopan kꞌa chuqul taq raqan xuqujeꞌ ximtal cho ukꞌuꞌx jun atzꞌyaq ri bꞌantal che qꞌana pwaq,
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.
ri uwiꞌ sibꞌalaj saq, jetaq ri lana, kajunumataj rukꞌ ri saqlaj tew, ri ubꞌoqꞌoch kajunumataj rukꞌ ri qꞌaqꞌ are kajinowik.
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).
Ri raqan kerepqꞌunik jacha ri qꞌanqꞌoj chꞌichꞌ are kaya pa ri qꞌaqꞌ. Ri uchꞌabꞌal kajunumataj rukꞌ ri nimaꞌ ri katix loq puꞌwiꞌ taq ri juyubꞌ.
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].
Pa ri uwiqiqꞌabꞌ kꞌo wuqubꞌ chꞌumil xuqujeꞌ pa ri uchiꞌ kel loq jun sakꞌibꞌal ri kebꞌ uwiꞌ, ri upalaj kajunumataj rukꞌ ri qꞌij are qas kaporonik.
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.
Are xinwil we riꞌ, xintzaq choch je ta ne chi xinkamik. Areꞌ kꞌut xuya ri uwiqiqꞌabꞌ pa nuwiꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij chwe: Man kaxiꞌj ta awibꞌ, in riꞌ ri in nabꞌe xuqujeꞌ in kꞌisbꞌal.
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.
Chatzꞌibꞌaj bꞌa ronojel ri jastaq ri xawilo, ri jastaq ri tajin kakꞌulmataj kamik xuqujeꞌ ri kakꞌulmataj na.
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.”
Chanim kinbꞌij chawe jas kel kubꞌij ri wuqubꞌ chꞌumil ri xawilo kꞌo pa nuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri wuqubꞌ kꞌolibꞌal kantela ri bꞌantal che qꞌana pwaq. Ri wuqubꞌ chꞌumil are karetwachij ri angelibꞌ e kꞌamal taq bꞌe ri e kꞌo pa ri komontyox are kꞌu ri wuqubꞌ kꞌolibꞌal kantela kuretwachiij ri wuqubꞌ komontyox.
