THE Revelation of Jeshu Meshiha, which Aloha gave unto him, to show unto his servants the things which must be done speedily; and which he made known, sending by his angel unto his servant Juhanon,
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 attested the word of Aloha and the testimony of Jeshu Meshiha, and all which he beheld.
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 readeth, and they who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those which are written therein; for the time hath approached.
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
Juhanon to the seven churches which are in Asia: grace to you and peace from him who is, and who was, and who cometh; from the seven Spirits who 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 Jeshu Meshiha who is the faithful Witness, the First-born of the dead, and Head of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and released us from our sins by 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)
and hath made us a priestly kingdom unto Aloha and his Father; to whom be glory and dominion for ever and ever. 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 cometh with clouds, and all eyes shall see him, and they also who transfixed him; and for him shall mourn all the tribes of the earth. 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 Olaph and Thau, saith Aloha the Lord, who is, and who was, and who cometh, the Omnipotent.
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, Juhanon your brother, and your fellow-sharer in the affliction, and in the patience, which are in Jeshu Meshiha, was in the island which is called Pathamon, for the word of Aloha and for the testimony of Jeshu Meshiha.
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 behind me a great voice as 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.”
What thou seest, write in a book; and send to the seven churches, at Ephesos, and at Smurna, and at Pergamos, and at Thiatira, and at Sardis, and at Philidaphia, and at Laodikia.
12 Esi metrɔ be makpɔ ame si nɔ nu ƒom la, kasia mekpɔ sikakaɖiti adre.
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me; and being turned, I saw seven candlesticks of gold.
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 candlesticks (one) who was like the Son of man, clothed to the foot, and girded about his paps with a circlet of gold.
14 Eƒe taɖa fu tititi abe alẽfu alo ɖetifu ene. Eƒe ŋkuwo le abe dzo ƒe aɖewo ene.
But his head and hair were white as wool, white as snow; and his eyes (were) 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 were like refined brass, which flamed as in a furnace, and his voice as the voice 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 he had in his right hand seven stars; and from his mouth a sharp sword of two edges went forth; and his countenance was as the sun shining in his strength.
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 laid upon me his right hand, saying, Fear not: I am the First and the Last;
19 “Eya ta ŋlɔ nu siwo nèkpɔ fifia kple nu siwo le vava ge emegbe la.
Write, then, what thou hast seen; and those which are, and those which are to be after them.
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.
(This is) the mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and of the seven candlesticks of gold: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.
