The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
2 onye a gbara ama banyere ihe niile ọ hụrụ, okwu Chineke, na ọgbụgba ama Jisọs Kraịst.
who testified to the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep what is written in it, for the time is near.

John to the seven churches in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne,
5 sitekwa nʼaka Jisọs Kraịst, onye bụ onyeama kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, na onye mbụ sitere na ndị nwụrụ anwụ bilie, nakwa onye na-achị ndị eze niile nke ụwa. Nye onye ahụ hụrụ anyị nʼanya ma meekwa ka anyị site nʼọbara ya nwere onwe anyị pụọ na mmehie.
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and washed us from our sins with his blood

and made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 “Lee, ọ na-abịa ya na igwe ojii. Anya niile ga-ahụkwa ya, ọ bụladị ndị ahụ niile mapuru ya ahụ, ha ga-ahụ ya.” Mmadụ niile nọ nʼụwa “ga-erukwa ụjụ nʼihi ya.”
Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. So shall it be! Amen.
8 Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke kwuru, “Abụ m Alfa na Omega, onye na-adị, onye ahụ dịkwaarị, na onye ahụ na-aga ịbịa, bụ onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.”
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
9 Mụ onwe m, Jọn, nwanne unu nwoke, onye unu na ya na-enwekọ ahụhụ na nʼalaeze, na ntachiobi nke bụ oke anyị nʼime Jisọs. Anọ m nʼogbe ala ntakịrị mmiri gbara gburugburu a na-akpọ Patmọs nʼihi okwu Chineke na-agba ama banyere Kraịst.
I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation, kingdom, and endurance that are in Christ Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 Nʼụbọchị Onyenwe anyị, anọ m nʼime Mmụọ ma nụ otu oke olu dara ụda dị ka opi ike nʼazụ m,
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like that of a trumpet,
11 na-ekwu, “Dee ihe ị na-ahụ ugbu a nʼakwụkwọ zigara ya nzukọ asaa dị nʼEfesọs na Smyrna na Pegamọm na Tiatira na Sardis, na Filadelfia na Laodisia.”
saying, “Write what yoʋ see in a book and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12 Mgbe m chigharịrị, lee anya ịhụ onye na-agwa m okwu, ahụrụ m ihe ịdọba oriọna asaa e ji ọlaedo kpụọ.
Then I turned in that direction to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 Nʼetiti ihe ịdọba oriọna ndị a, ahụrụ m otu onye yiri nwa nke mmadụ, ka o guzo. O yikwasịrị onwe ya uwe mwụda. Ma o nwere ihe okike na-acha ọlaedo e ji kee gburugburu obi ya.
and in the midst of the seven lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash wrapped around his chest.
14 Isi ya na agịrị isi ya na-acha vaa dịka ogho ọcha, dịka akụmmiri igwe. Anya ya abụọ yiri ire ọkụ na-enwusi ike.
His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire,
15 Ụkwụ ya abụọ dị ka bronz a nụchasịrị nnọọ nke ọma hichapụkwa ya. Olu okwu ya na-ada dị ka ụzụ mmiri na-achị achị.
his feet were like burnished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.
16 O jidere kpakpando asaa nʼaka nri ya, mma agha dị nkọ nwere ihu abụọ sikwa nʼọnụ ya na-apụta. Ihu ya na-egbu maramara dịka anyanwụ na-acha nʼike ya niile.
In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in its strength.
17 Mgbe m hụrụ ya, adara m nʼala nʼụkwụ ya dịka onye nwụrụ anwụ. Ma o weere aka nri ya metụ m nʼahụ na-ekwu sị, “Atụla egwu. Abụ m Mmalite na Ọgwụgwụ.
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. But he placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last,
19 “Ya mere, detuo ihe niile ị hụrụla, ihe dị ugbu a na ihe gaje ime na mgbe na adịghị anya.
Therefore write what yoʋ have seen, what is now and what will take place after this.
20 Nke a bụ ihe omimi nke kpakpando asaa ahụ ị hụrụ nʼaka nri m, na ihe ịdọba oriọna asaa ndị ahụ pụtara. Kpakpando asaa ahụ bụ ndị mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ asaa ahụ. Osisi oriọna asaa ahụ bụ ụlọ nzukọ ndị ahụ nʼonwe ha.
This is the mystery of the seven stars that yoʋ saw in my right hand and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
