Revelasyon 1
1 Revelasyon a Jésus Kri, ke Bondye te bay Li pou montre a sèvitè Li yo; bagay ki t ap oblije rive avan lontan yo, ke Li te voye kominike pa zanj Li, a sèvitè Li, Jean,
This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what will happen soon. He sent his angel to reveal it to his servant John
2 ki te temwaye pawòl Bondye a, ak temwayaj Jésus Kri a, menm a tout sa li te wè yo.
who confirmed everything he saw concerning the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
3 Beni se sila ki li e sila ki tande pawòl pwofesi sila yo, e ki prete atansyon a bagay ki ekri ladann yo. Paske tan an pwòch.
Anyone who reads this is blessed, as are those who hear these prophetic words and pay attention to what's written, because the time is near.
4 Jean, a sèt legliz ki an Asie yo: Gras pou nou ak lapè, ki soti nan Sila ki la, ki te la, e ki va vini an; ki soti anplis nan sèt lespri ki devan twòn Li an;
This letter comes from John and is sent to the seven churches in the province of Asia. May you have grace and peace from the one who was, who is, and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits before his throne,
5 e nan Jésus Kri, temwen fidèl la, premye ne de lanmò a, e chèf a wa latè yo. A Sila ki renmen nou an, ki te libere nou de peche nou yo pa san Li—
and from Jesus Christ the trustworthy witness, the firstborn from the dead, the ruler of earthly kings. To Jesus who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood,
6 epi Li te fè nou vin yon Wayòm, prèt a Bondye e Papa Li a. A Li menm laglwa, ak règn pou tout tan e pou tout tan. Amen. (aiōn g165)
who made us into his kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to Jesus be glory and authority for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Gade byen, l ap vini avèk nwaj yo, e tout zye va wè L, menm sila ki te pèse L yo. Tout tribi sou latè yo va fè gwo lamantasyon sou Li. Se konsa l ap fèt. Amen.
Look, he is coming surrounded by clouds, and everybody shall see him, even those who killed him. All the peoples of the earth will weep because of him. May it be so! Amen.
8 “Mwen se Alfa a e Omega a,” di Senyè Bondye a: “Sila ki la, ki te la, e ki va vini an, Toupwisan an.”
“I am the Beginning and the End,” says the All-powerful Lord God, who was, who is, and who is to come.
9 Mwen, Jean, frè nou, ki patisipe avèk nou nan tribilasyon, wayòm, ak pèseverans ki nan Jésus a, te sou lil ki rele Patmos la, akoz pawòl a Bondye ak temwayaj de Jésus a.
I am John, your brother who shares with you in the suffering and in the kingdom and in the patient waiting that are our experience in Jesus. I was detained on the island of Patmos for sharing the word of God and the truth as revealed by Jesus.
10 Mwen te nan Lespri a nan jou Senyè a, e mwen te tande dèyè m yon gwo vwa tankou son a yon twonpèt,
I was filled by the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard a loud voice behind me that sounded like a trumpet.
11 ki t ap di: “Ekri nan yon liv sa ou wè a, e voye l nan sèt legliz yo; nan Éphèse, Smyrne, Pergame, Thyatire, Sardes, Philadelphie ak Laodicée.”
It told me, “Write down in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12 Alò, mwen te vire pou wè vwa ki t ap pale avè m nan. Epi nan vire, mwen te wè sèt chandelye ki fèt an lò.
I turned round to see who was speaking to me. When I turned I saw seven golden candlesticks,
13 Nan mitan chandelye yo, mwen te wè yon moun tankou yon fis a lòm, abiye nan yon wòb ki rive jis nan pye, e mare lestonmak li ak yon sentiwon an lò.
and standing among the candlesticks was someone who looked like a Son of man. He was wearing a robe that reached down to his feet with a golden sash across his chest.
14 Tèt Li ak cheve Li te blan tankou lèn blanch, tankou lanèj. Zye li te tankou yon flanm dife.
His hair looked like white wool, and his eyes like flaming fire.
15 Pye Li te tankou bwonz cho lè l chofe nan fou, epi vwa l te tankou bri anpil dlo.
His feet looked like polished brass that had been refined in a furnace. His voice sounded like a thundering waterfall.
16 Nan men dwat Li, Li te kenbe sèt etwal. Yon nepe file de bò te sòti nan bouch Li. Figi Li te tankou solèy k ap briye nan pwisans li.
He was holding seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword came out of his mouth. His face shone like the sun at its brightest.
17 Lè m te wè Li, mwen te tonbe nan pye Li tankou yon moun mouri. Li te poze men dwat Li sou mwen, e te di: “Pa pè; Mwen se premye ak dènye a,
When I saw him I fell down at his feet as if I were dead. But he touched me with his right hand and said, “Don't be afraid, I am the first and the last,
19 “Konsa, ekri bagay ke ou gen tan wè yo, bagay ki la yo, ak bagay ki va rive pi devan an.
So write down what you've seen—what's happening in the present and what will happen in the future.
20 Pou mistè a sèt zetwal ke ou te wè nan men dwat Mwen an, ak sèt chandelye yo: Men li: sèt zetwal yo, se zanj a sèt legliz yo, e sèt chandelye yo, se sèt legliz yo.”
The meaning of the seven stars that you saw me holding in my right hand and the seven golden candlesticks is this: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.”
