< Revelation 1 >

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him to make known to his servants, concerning what must shortly take place, and which he sent and revealed by his angel to his servant John,
Ty namentabentara’ Iesoà Norizañey, ie nitoloran’ Añahare, hanoroa’e o mpitoro’eo o tsy mahay tsy ho tendrek’ anianio, le nampihitrife’e aman-An­jeli’e ty hampahafohiñe i Jaona mpitoro’e.
2 who testified to the Message of God and to the testimony to Jesus Christ, omitting nothing of what he had seen.
Ie nitaroñe ze hene nioni’e amy tsaran’ Añaharey naho amy taro’ Iesoà Norizañey.
3 Blessed is he who reads, and blessed are they who listen to, the words of this prophecy, and lay to heart what is here written; for The Time is near.
Haha ty mamaky ty tsaram-pitokiañe toy am-palie naho o mitsendreñe vaho mañambeñe o miso­kitseo, fa an-titotse ty andro.
4 From John, to the seven Churches which are in Roman Asia. Blessing and peace be yours from him who is, and who was, and who shall be, and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne,
I Jaona, Ho ami’ty Fivory fito e Asia ao. Hasoa ama’areo naho hanintsiñe boak’ amy Ao, naho i Tao, vaho i Hitotsake eo naho boak’ amo arofo fito aolo i fiambesa’eio,
5 and from Jesus Christ, ‘the faithful Witness, the First-born from the dead, and the Ruler of all the Kings of the earth.’ To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his own blood —
naho boak’ am’ Iesoà Norizañey, i valolombeloñe migahiñey, ty valoha’e nasamak’ amy havilasiy, toe i Talèm-panjaka’ ty tane toiy. Ho amy Mpikoko naho nañaha antikañe amo hakeon-tikañeo amy lio’eiy,
6 and he made us ‘a Kingdom of Priests in the service of God,’ his Father! — to Him be ascribed glory and dominion for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
vaho nanoe’e mpanjaka naho mpisoroñe aman’ Añahare, Rae’e. Aze ty engeñe naho ty haozarañe nainai’e donia! Amena. (aiōn g165)
7 ‘He is coming among the clouds!’ Every eye shall see him, even those who pierced him; ‘and all the nations of the earth shall wail for fear of him.’ So shall it be. Amen.
Hehe, t’ie mitotsake eo mindre amo rahoñeo; kila fihaino ro hahaisak’ aze, naho o nitombok’ azeo, vaho hangoihoia’ ze hene foko’ i Taney. Ie izay! Amena.
8 ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord, the God who is, and who was, and who shall be, the Almighty.
Izaho ty A naho Z, hoe t’i Talè Andrianañahare, i Eo naho i Teo vaho i ho Aviy, i Tsitongerèñey.
9 I, John, who am your Brother, and who share with you in the suffering and kingship and endurance of Jesus, found myself on the island called Patmos, for the sake of the Message of God and the testimony to Jesus.
Izaho, toe rahalahi’ areo, Jaona, mpitraoke amy haloviloviañey naho amy fifeahañe vaho fahaliñisañe amy Iesoà ao, ro tan-tokonose atao Patmo, ty amy tsaran’ Añaharey naho ty amy taro’ i Iesoày.
10 I fell into a trance on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like the blast of a trumpet.
Ie tañ’ Arofo ao amy andro ra’elahy zay vaho nahatsanoñe ty fiarañanañañe nipazake hoe antsiva ambohoko ao
11 It said — ‘Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven Churches, to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamus, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicaea.’
nanao ty hoe, Patero am-boke ao ze isa’o le ahitrifo mb’amo Fivory fito rezao: mb’amy Efesosy naho mb’amy Smirna naho mb’amy Pergamosy naho mb’amy Tiatira naho mb’amy Sardisy naho mb’amy Filadelfia vaho mb’amy Laodikia.
12 I turned to see what voice it was that spoke to me; and when I turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
Nitolike iraho hahatreavako i fiarañanañañe nisaontsy amakoy; aa naho nitolike le nahatrea menorà volamena fito,
13 and in the midst of the lamps one ‘like a man, in a robe reaching to his feet,’ and with a golden girdle across his breast.
naho an-teñateña’ i fitongoàn-jiro rey ey ty nanahake i Ana’ Ondatiy nisikiñe lamba nahatakatse o fandia’eo vaho nisadiam-bolamena añ’araña’e eo.
14 ‘The hair of his head was as white as wool, as white as snow; his eyes were like flaming fire;
Nifoty hoe volon’ añondry foty o maroin’ añambone’eo, vaho hoe afo miroborobo o fihaino’eo.
15 and his feet were like brass’ as when molten in a furnace; ‘his voice was like the sound of many streams,’
Nihoe torisìke nikotriñeñe, natranak’ an-toñake ao, o fandia’eo, le nanahake ty fitromoron-drano maro i fiarañanaña’ey;
16 in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like ‘the sun in the fulness of its power.’
naho am-pità’e havana ao ty vasiañe fito, le niboake am-palie’e ao ty fibara masioñe sambe-lela’e, vaho nanahake ty fireandrea’ i àndroy te tsipinde mena ty lahara’e.
17 And, when I saw him, I fell at his feet like one dead. He laid his hand on me and said — ‘Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,
Ie nitreako, le nibabok’ am-pandia’e eo hoe mate, vaho natongoa’e amako ty fità’e havana, nanao ty hoe: Ko hemban-drehe. Izaho ro Valoha’e naho ty Fara’e,
18 the Everliving. I died, and I am alive for ever and ever. And I hold the keys of the Grave and of the Place of the Dead. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
vaho i Veloñey; toe nikenkan-draho, fe heheke, veloñe nainai’e donia! Amena. Vaho amako o lahin-dakilè’ i Tsikeokeokey naho i Havilasio. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
19 Therefore write of what you have seen and of what is happening now and of what is about to take place —
Aa le sokiro o niisa’oo, o eoo, vaho o mbe hifetsakeo.
20 the mystic meaning of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. The seven stars are the Angels of the seven Churches, and the seven lamps are the seven Churches.
Ty tafatoño’ i vasiañe fito nioni’o an-kavanako eo rey, naho i fitongoàn-jiro volamena fito rey: toe anjeli’ i Fivory fito rey i vasiam-pito rey, vaho Fivory fito i fitongoàn-jiro fito rey.
