A revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave to Him to show to His servants what things must quickly come to pass; and He signified [it], having sent through His messenger to His servant John,
2 Yohanes ɖi ɖase le nu siwo katã wòkpɔ la ŋu, nu siwo nye Mawu ƒe nya kple ɖaseɖiɖi tso Yesu Kristo ŋu la.
who testified [to] the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as he also saw.
3 Woayra ame si xlẽ nyagblɔɖi sia me nyawo, woayra ame siwo see, eye wotsɔ emenyawo de woƒe dzi me la, elabena ɣeyiɣi la tu aƒe.
Blessed is he who is reading, and those hearing the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it, for the time is near!
4 Agbalẽ sia tso Yohanes gbɔ na hame adre siwo le Asia nuto me: Amenuveve kple ŋutifafa si tso Mawu, ame si nɔ anyi, eye wòli, eye wògale vava ge la gbɔ kple gbɔgbɔ adre siwo le eƒe fiazikpui la ŋgɔ
John, to the seven assemblies that [are] in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits that are before His throne,
5 kple Yesu Kristo, ame si nye ɖaseɖila anukwaretɔ, ame gbãtɔ si fɔ tso ku me, eye wònye anyigbadzifiawo dzi ɖula la gbɔ na mi. Eya ame si lɔ̃ mí, eye wòɖe mí tso míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo me to eƒe ʋu me,
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to Him loving us and having released us from our sins in His blood,
6 eya ame si wɔ mí be míanye fiaɖuƒe kple nunɔla siwo asubɔ eƒe Mawu kple Fofoa, eya tɔ nanye ŋutikɔkɔe kple ŋusẽ tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me! Amen. (aiōn g165)
[He] has also made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him—the glory and the power through the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 “Kpɔ ɖa, Egbɔna; lilikpowo aƒo xlãe,” eye “ŋku ɖe sia ɖe akpɔe. Ɛ̃, ame siwo tɔ akplɔe gɔ̃ hã akpɔe.” Ne eva do la, dukɔ siwo katã le anyigba dzi la “afa avi kple ɣli le eya amea ta.”
Behold, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all the tribes of the land will wail because of Him. Yes! Amen!
8 “Nyee nye Alfa kple Omega, gɔmedzedze kple nuwuwu, ame si nɔ anyi, eye wòli, eye wògale vava ge, ame si nye Ŋusẽkatãtɔ.” Aƒetɔ Mawue gblɔe.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, says the LORD, who is, and who was, and who is coming—the Almighty.”
9 Nye, mia nɔvi Yohanes, ame si kpe fu kpli mi le Aƒetɔ la ta lae le agbalẽ sia ŋlɔm na mi. Nye hã mekpɔ gome le dzidodo si Mawu nana la me, eye miakpɔ gome le eƒe fiaɖuƒe la hã me! Menɔ Patmo Ƒukpo dzi. Woɖe aboyom yi afi ma le Mawu ƒe nya kple Yesu Kristo ŋuti ɖaseɖiɖi ta.
I, John, who [am] also your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the kingdom and endurance of Jesus Christ, was in the island that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ;
10 Esime menɔ gbɔgbɔ me le Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkekea dzi la, mese gbe sesẽ aɖe le megbenye abe kpẽ ƒe ɖiɖi ene.
I was in the Spirit on the LORD’s Day, and I heard a great voice behind me, as of a trumpet, saying,
11 Enɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Ŋlɔ nu sia nu si nèkpɔ la da ɖi, eye nàɖo agbalẽ la ɖe hame adre siwo le Efeso, Smirna, Pergamo, Tiatira, Sardis, Filadelfia kple Laodikea.”
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “Write what you see in a scroll, and send [it] to the seven assemblies that [are] in Asia: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12 Esi metrɔ be makpɔ ame si nɔ nu ƒom la, kasia mekpɔ sikakaɖiti adre.
And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me, and having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 Ame aɖe tsi tsitre ɖe wo dome si ɖi Amegbetɔ Vi la. Edo awu ʋlaya aɖe, eye wòtsɔ sikalidziblaka aɖe bla akɔta.
and in the midst of the seven lampstands, [One] like a Son of Man, clothed to the foot, and having been girded around at the breasts with a golden girdle,
14 Eƒe taɖa fu tititi abe alẽfu alo ɖetifu ene. Eƒe ŋkuwo le abe dzo ƒe aɖewo ene.
and His head and hairs [were] white, as if white wool—as snow, and His eyes as a flame of fire;
15 Eƒe afɔwo biã hẽe abe akɔbli si wode kpodzo me ene, eye eƒe gbe le abe tɔsisi geɖewo ƒe hoowɔwɔ ene.
and His feet like to frankincense-colored brass, as having been fired in a furnace, and His voice as a sound of many waters;
16 Elé ɣletivi adre ɖe nuɖusi, eye yi ɖaɖɛ nuevee do go tso eƒe nu me. Eƒe mo nɔ keklẽm abe ɣe ƒe keklẽ ene.
and having seven stars in His right hand, and out of His mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and His countenance—as the sun shining in its might.
17 Esi mekpɔe la, medze anyi ɖe eƒe afɔ nu abe ame kuku ene. Tete wòtsɔ eƒe nuɖusi da ɖe dzinye, eye wògblɔ be, “Mègavɔ̃ o. Nyee nye Gɔmedzedze kple Nuwuwu.
And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead, and He placed His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last,
19 “Eya ta ŋlɔ nu siwo nèkpɔ fifia kple nu siwo le vava ge emegbe la.
Write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to come after these things;
20 Nu ɣaɣla si le ɣletivi adre siwo nèkpɔ melé ɖe nuɖusi kple sikakaɖiti adreawo me lae nye esi: Ɣletivi adreawo nye hame adreawo ƒe mawudɔlawo, eye sikakaɖiti adreawo nye hame adreawo.
the secret of the seven stars that you have seen on My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lampstands that you have seen are seven assemblies.”
