Revelasyon 1
1 Men revelasyon Bondye te bay Jezikri pou l' te fè sèvitè l' yo konnen sa ki gen pou rive anvan lontan. Se Kris la menm ki voye zanj li bò kot Jan, sèvitè l' la, pou fè l' konnen tout bagay sa yo.
A revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants the things which must shortly be; and sending by his messenger, he signified them to his servant John,
2 Se menm Jan sa a k'ap rakonte tou sa li te wè. Li rapòte mesaj ki soti nan Bondye a ansanm ak verite Jezikri te fè l' konnen an.
who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, whatever he saw.
3 Benediksyon pou moun k'ap li liv sa a. Benediksyon pou tout moun k'ap koute pawòl mesaj sa a ki soti nan Bondye, pou tout moun k'ap obeyi tou sa ki ekri nan Liv sa a, paske pa rete lontan ankò pou bagay sa yo rive.
Happy is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; for the time is at hand.
4 Se mwen menm Jan, k'ap ekri sèt legliz ki nan pwovens Lazi yo. M'ap lapriyè pou nou ka resevwa benediksyon ak kè poze ki soti nan Bondye, li menm ki la, ki te toujou la epi ki gen pou vini an, benediksyon ak kè poze ki soti nan sèt lespri yo ki kanpe devan fotèy li a,
John, to the seven congregation which are in Asia; favor and peace be with you, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before his throne;
5 benediksyon ak kè poze ki soti nan Jezikri tou, li menm ki te bay verite a jan l' ye a, li menm premie pitit ki leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, li menm ki chèf tout wa ki sou latè. Kris la renmen nou, li bay san li lè li mouri pou l' te ka delivre nou anba peche nou yo.
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who has loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 Li fè nou tounen wa ak prèt pou n' sèvi Bondye Papa li. Se pou li tout lwanj ak tout otorite pou tout tan. Amèn. (aiōn g165)
and has made us kings and priests to his God and Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Gade. Men Kris la ap vini sou tèt nwaj yo! Tout moun pral wè l', menm moun ki te pèse l' yo. Tout pèp sou latè pral kriye lè y'a wè li. Wi, se konsa sa pral pase. Amèn.
Behold, he is coming in the clouds; and every eye shall see him, even they who pierced him: and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn because of him. Yes: so let it be.
8 Mwen se konmansman, mwen se finisman tankou A ak Z. Se Bondye, Mèt ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa, li menm ki la, ki te toujou la epi ki gen pou vini an.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
9 Mwen menm, Jan, mwen se frè nou. M'ap pataje tout bagay ak nou, kit se soufrans nou, kit se gouvènman Bondye ki wa a, kit se pasians Jezi ban nou an. Yo te ban mwen yon lil yo rele Patmòs pou prizon paske mwen t'ap fè konnen pawòl Bondye a ansanm ak verite Jezi te moutre a.
I, John, who am also your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, for the sake of the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 Yon jou dimanch, jou Mèt la menm, Lespri Bondye a pran m', mwen tande yon gwo vwa dèyè do m' ki sonnen tankou yon klewon.
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard a great voice behind me, as of a trumpet,
11 Li di m' konsa: Tou sa ou wè, ekri yo nan yon liv. Voye liv la bay sèt legliz ki nan sèt lavil sa yo: Efèz, Esmen, Pègam, Tiyati, Sad, Filadèlfi ak Lawodise.
saying, What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven congregations; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
12 M' vire pou m' wè ki moun ki t'ap pale avè m' lan. Lè sa a, mwen wè sèt gwo lanp sèt branch an lò kanpe,
And I turned to see the voice which spoke to me, and being turned, I saw seven golden lamps;
13 ak nan mitan yo yon moun ki te sanble ak yon gason. Li te gen yon gwo rad sou li byen long ki te bat jouk sou pie l', ak yon sentiwon an lò mare sou lestonmak li.
and, in the midst of the seven lamps, one like a Son of Man, clothed in a long robe, and girded about the breasts with a golden girdle.
14 Cheve nan tèt li te tankou lenn mouton, blan kou koton. Je l' yo menm te tankou de flanm dife.
His head, even his hairs, were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 Pie l' yo te klere tankou kwiv yo poli apre yo fin chofe l' nan fòj. Lè l' pale menm, vwa l' te tankou bri gwo dlo k'ap sot tonbe nan yon falèz.
and his feet like fine brass, when glowing in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;
16 Li te gen sèt zetwal nan men dwat li ak yon nepe file de bò k'ap soti nan bouch li. Figi l' menm te klere tankou gwo solèy midi.
and he had in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth there went a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as the sun, when he shines in his strength.
17 Lè mwen wè l', mwen tonbe nan pie l' tankou yon moun ki mouri. Li mete men dwat li sou mwen, li di m' konsa: Ou pa bezwen pè! Se mwen ki premie, se mwen ki dènye.
And when I saw him, I fell down at his feet, as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, and said, Fear not; I am the First and the Last;
19 Ekri tou sa ou wè a: ni sa k'ap pase koulye a, ni sa ki gen pou rive apre.
Write the things which you see, even those which are, and the things which shall be hereafter.
20 Men sans kache sèt zetwal ou wè nan men dwat mwen an, ansanm ak sans sèt gwo lanp sèt branch lò yo. Sèt zetwal yo se zanj sèt legliz yo. Sèt gwo lanp sèt branch yo, se sèt legliz yo.
As to the hidden meaning of the seven stars, which you see in my right hand, and of the seven lamps of gold: the seven stars are messengers of the seven congregations; and the seven lamps which you see, are seven congregations.
