< Revelation 1 >
1 The revelation given by Jesus Christ, which God granted Him, that He might make known to His servants certain events which must shortly come to pass: and He sent His angel and communicated it to His servant John.
Hethateh, Jisuh Khrih e papholawk lah ao. Het teh nâsittouh ao hoehnahlan kaawm hane hnonaw hah, a sannaw koe pâtue hanlah Khrih dawk Cathut ni poe e hno lah ao. Khrih ni kalvantami hah a patoun teh a san kai Jawhan koe a kamnue sak.
2 This is the John who taught the truth concerning the Word of God and the truth told us by Jesus Christ-- a faithful account of what he had seen.
Jawhan nihai Cathut lawk hoi Jisuh Khrih e lawkpanuesaknae pueng hah a hmu e patetlah a kampangkhai.
3 Blessed is he who reads and blessed are those who listen to the words of this prophecy and lay to heart what is written in it; for the time for its fulfillment is now close at hand.
Atueng a hnai toung dawkvah, hete sutdeilawk ka touk e, ka thai e, hoi a thung thut e lawknaw katarawinaw teh a yawhawi awh.
4 John sends greetings to the seven Churches in the province of Asia. May grace be granted to you, and peace, from Him who is and was and evermore will be; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne;
Kai Jawhan ni Asia ram kaawm e kawhmounnaw sari touh koe ka thut. Kaawm lahun e, kaawm tangcoung e hoi ka tho han rae Bawipa koehoi a bawitungkhung hmalah kaawm e muitha sari touh koehoi,
5 and from Jesus Christ, the truthful witness, the first of the dead to be born to Life, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins with His own blood,
Yuemkamcu kapanuekhaikung, duenae koehoi camin lah kaawm e, talai siangpahrangnaw ka ukkung Jisuh Khrih koehoi e lungmanae hoi roumnae teh nangmouh koe awm yungyoe seh. Maimouh lungpataw niteh amae thi hoi maimae yonnae pueng na pâsu pouh.
6 and has formed us into a Kingdom, to be priests to God, His Father--to Him be ascribed the glory and the power until the Ages of the Ages. Amen. (aiōn )
Pa Cathut hmalah maimanaw hah uknae ram, vaihma lah na hrueng kung koe bawilennae hoi hnotithainae teh a yungyoe awm lawiseh. Amen. (aiōn )
7 He is coming in the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and so will those who pierced Him; and all the nations of the earth will gaze on Him and mourn. Even so. Amen.
Khenhaw! Bawipa teh tâmai dawk hoi bout a kum han. Hatdawkvah Bawipa kacawknaw ni amamae mit hoi ama teh a hmu awh han. Talai van kaawm e miphun pueng ni Bawipa kecu dawk a lungtabue ratum awh vaiteh a khui awh han. Bokheiyah. Amen.
8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "He who is and was and evermore will be--the Ruler of all."
Kaawm lahun e, kaawm tangcoung e hoi bout kaawm hane Athakasaipounge ni, kai teh Alpha hoi Omega, a kamtawngnae hoi a poutnae lah ka o ati.
9 I John, your brother, and a sharer with you in the sorrows and Kingship and patient endurance of Jesus, found myself in the island of Patmos, on account of the Word of God and the truth told us by Jesus.
Jisuh Khrih dawk reithai rucatnae thoseh, a uknaeram hai thoseh, lungsawnae thoseh, nangmouh hoi cungtalah rei coe e lah kaawm e, nangmae hmau kai Jawhan ni Cathut e a lawk hoi Jisuh Khrih hoi kâkuen e lawkpanuesaknae kecu dawkvah Patmos tuilum koe ka pha.
10 In the Spirit I found myself present on the day of the Lord, and I heard behind me a loud voice which resembled the blast of a trumpet.
Bawipa e hnin navah, kai teh Muitha dawk ka o lahunnah, mongka lawk patetlah kacaipounge lawk hah hnukkhu lahoi ka thai.
11 It said, "Write forthwith in a roll an account of what you see, and send it to the seven Churches--to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyateira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea."
Hote lawk ni, na hmu e hno hah cauk dawk thut nateh Efisa kho, Smirna kho, Pergamos kho, Thiatira kho, Sardis kho, Philadelphia kho hoi Laodicea kho kaawm e kawhmounnaw sari touh koe patawn haw, telah a dei.
12 I turned to see who it was that was speaking to me; and then I saw seven golden lampstands,
Hatnavah, kai koe lawk kadeikung hmu hanelah ka kamlang teh ka khet.
13 and in the center of the lampstands some One resembling the Son of Man, clothed in a robe which reached to His feet, and with a girdle of gold across His breast.
Hottelah ka khet nah sui hmaiimkhok sari touh hoi hote hmaiim pâhung e naw lungui vah a khokcampha totouh ka phat e hni a kho teh, a lû, a lungtabue dawk sui taisawm kâyeng e tami Capa hoi kâvan e tami buet touh ka hmu.
14 His head and His hair were white, like white wool--as white as snow; and His eyes resembled a flame of fire.
Ahnie a lû hoi a sam teh tumuen ka pangaw e patetlah hoi tadamtui patetlah a pangaw teh, ahnie a mit teh hmaipalai patetlah ao.
15 His feet were like silver-bronze, when it is white-hot in a furnace; and His voice resembled the sound of many waters.
Ahnie a khok teh hmai hoi sôlêi tangcoung e rahum hoi a kâvan teh, ahnie a lawk teh tuipui lawk hoi a kâvan.
16 In His right hand He held seven stars, and a sharp, two-edged sword was seen coming from His mouth; and His glance resembled the sun when it is shining with its full strength.
Ahnie aranglae kut dawk Âsi sari touh a patuep teh ahnie a kâko dawk hoi a hâ voivang kahran e tahloi a tâco. Ahnie a minhmai teh bahu hoi ka ang e kanî patetlah ao.
17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if I were dead. But He laid His right hand upon me and said, "Do not be afraid: I am the First and the Last, and the ever-living One.
Ahni hah ka hmu navah, a khok koe ka rawp teh, tami kadout patetlah ka o. Hahoi ahni ni kai dawkvah, aranglae kut a toung teh taket hanh, kai teh ahmaloe poung e hoi a hnukteng poung e lah ka o.
18 I died; but I am now alive until the Ages of the Ages, and I have the keys of the gates of Death and of Hades! (aiōn , Hadēs )
Kahring e lah ka o. Kai teh yo ka due toe. Hatei khenhaw! kai teh a yungyoe kahring e lah ka o. Duenae hoi duenae kho cabinaw hai kai ni ka kuet. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Write down therefore the things you have just seen, and those which are now taking place, and those which are soon to follow:
Hatdawkvah nang ni na hmu tangcoung e naw thoseh, atu na hmu e naw hai thoseh, nâsittouh ao hoehnahlan kaawm hane ka tâcawt han toung e naw hai thoseh thun haw.
20 the secret meaning of the seven stars which you have seen in My right hand, and of the seven lampstands of gold. The seven stars are the ministers of the seven Churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven Churches.
Aranglae ka kut dawk na hmu e Âsi sari touh hoi sui hmaiim sari touh e hrolawk ni a dei ngainae teh Âsi sari touh e teh kawhmounnaw sari touh e kalvantami doeh. Sui hmaiimkhok sari touh e teh kawhmounnaw sari touh e doeh.
