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.
Arah leedap ah Jisu Kristo ih dong wuungbaatta loong tiit ah raangthin arah. Heh suh Rangte ih erah wuungbaatta ah langla kharok ih timjih angte angla heh laksuh loong ih toomjat ah ngeh noisok ha. Kristo ih heh rangsah ah daapkaat ano heh laksuh Joon suh arah loong tiit ah jat thukta,
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].
Joon ih marah tupta thoontang baatta. Rangte tiitkhaap nyia Jisu Kristo ih amiisak tiit dongbaatta loong ah langla arah.
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.
Ngo ih arah leedap ah weh ah nyia khowah ih ban baat ha tiitkhaap ah chaat ah eno arah leedap adi marah raangha erah kapte loong ah tenroon angtheng! mamah liidi arah loong ah lang suh saapoot ah ethok ehala.
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).
Esia juungkhuung nawa chaas sinet loong suh Joon taangnawa le: Marah amadi uh eje, jaakhoh ni eje angta, eno liwang nah uh eraak ete, erah Rangte nyia sinet moong achaang heh luuwang tongtheng re dowa,
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].
eno hanpi etheng, jaakhothoon etek nawa phang saatte, eno arah mongrep dowa luuwang loong pante Jisu Kristo taangnawa tenthet nyia semroongroong ah sen suh toom ang ah. Heh ih minchan eh hali, eno heh bangphak ni tekbot ano seng loong ah seng rangdah nawa pang tahe
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)
eno seng loong ah heh wah hasong nah moot suh romwah ih hoon thuk hali. Jisu Kristo damdoh saarookwe phaaknyaanya nyia chaan aphaan ah toom ang ha! 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.)
Sokthaak an, heh ah jiingmuung ni ra hala! Thoontang ih heh ah japtup ah, heh saam ni sotte rah ih uh ekap tup eh ah. Mina loong hatoh adoh heh raangtaan ih raamwe rum ah. Emamah ju toom ang ah!
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.
Amadi uh eje, jaakhoh ni uh eje angta, eno linah uh eraak ete, Teesu Elongthoon Rangte ih liita, “Phangkhoh uh ngah, liwang uh ngah.”
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.
Ngah senphoh senno Joon, eno Jisu liphan diibah, ngah uh esiit sen damdi jiite anglang heh hasong ni chamnaang naante ah. Ngah ih Rangte jengkhaap nyia amiisak tiit Jisu ih dongbaatta ah baatkang no juungloot Patmos hah ni thin rum tahang.
10 [God’s] Spirit took control of me on one of the days [that we believers met to worship] the Lord.
Teesu saakaan saadi Chiiala lakmong ni ang tang, eno nga liko ni erongwah luirong huung mot arah likhiik chaattang.
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].”
Erah huungta rah ih liita, “Marah tup hu erah raang uh, eno erah le ah samnuthung sinet dowa chaas loong Ephisas, Ismirna, Pargamum, Thaitira, Sardis, philadelphia, nyia Laodisia nah maat uh.”
12 [In this vision] I turned in order that I might see who had spoken to me [SYN]. When I turned,
Nga reeni ngo waan hala ngeh taat ngaak soktang, eno ngah ih kom nawa hoon arah weetook thin theng sinet tuptang,
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.
erah loong dowa mina likhiik tup arah uh eje angta, nyuh ah heh lasih ni thok jangdat arah angta, eno kom ah heh teekhuh ni ngoomkhak arah angta.
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.
Heh khoroon ah ripuung nyia nge kah puung ajih puungta, eno heh mik ah we luungluung likhiik phaakta;
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).
heh lah ah jaanmeen leep hut choi likhiik leepta, eno heh root ah choonraak juung kah reng datjan ah likhiik reng janta.
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].
Heh lak dakchah ko adi ritsi sinet piita, eno heh tui nawa haanghop theh arah lang dong taha, eno heh the ah rangnithung rangsa kaphaak ah likhiik phaakta.
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.
Erah japtup ango, ngah tekmang likhiik heh lathong ni loongdat tang. Heh lak dakchah ko rah ih taajoh hangno liita, “Nakcho uh! ephang uh ngah ethoon uh ngah.
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.
Erah raangtaan ih marah tup hu erah raang uh, amadi angla nyia marah linah elang etheng ah erah ah.
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.”
Nga lak dakchah kooni piihang ritsi sinet nyia kom weetook thin theng sinet tup hu eradi timjih bah uh husah tiit eje: ritsi sinet ah angla chaas loong raangtaan ih rangsah loong, eno weetook thin theng sinet ah langla chaas sinet.
