Mkpughe 1
1 Mkpughe banyere Jisọs Kraịst, nke Chineke nyere ya igosi ndị ohu ya, ime ka ha mata ihe ndị ahụ na-aga ime nʼoge na-adịghị anya. O mere ka amata nke a site na izite mmụọ ozi ya ka ọ bịakwute ohu ya Jọn,
The revelation given by Jesus Christ, which God granted Him, that He might make known to His servants certain events which must shortly come to pass: and He sent His angel and communicated it to His servant John.
2 onye a gbara ama banyere ihe niile ọ hụrụ, okwu Chineke, na ọgbụgba ama Jisọs Kraịst.
This is the John who taught the truth concerning the Word of God and the truth told us by Jesus Christ-- a faithful account of what he had seen.
3 Ngọzị na-adịrị onye ahụ na-agụpụta okwu ndị a dị nʼamụma a. Ngọzị na-adịkwara ndị na-anụ ya, ma nabata ihe e dere nʼime ya nʼobi ha. Nʼihi na oge mmezu ha dị nso.
Blessed is he who reads and blessed are those who listen to the words of this prophecy and lay to heart what is written in it; for the time for its fulfillment is now close at hand.
4 Ọ bụ m Jọn na-ede akwụkwọ a, Na-edere ya nzukọ asaa dị na mpaghara Eshịa: Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Onye ahụ na-adị, Onye ahụ dịkwaarị, na Onye ahụ na-aga ịbịa dịrị unu, sitekwa nʼebe Mmụọ asaa ahụ na-eguzo nʼihu ocheeze ya,
John sends greetings to the seven Churches in the province of Asia. May grace be granted to you, and peace, from Him who is and was and evermore will be; and from the seven Spirits which 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 truthful witness, the first of the dead to be born to Life, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins with His own blood,
6 O mere ka anyị bụrụ alaeze, ndị nchụaja nye Nna ya bụ Chineke. Ọ bụ ya ka otuto niile na ike niile dịịrị ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi. Amen. (aiōn g165)
and has formed us into a Kingdom, to be priests to God, His Father--to Him be ascribed the glory and the power until the Ages of the Ages. 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.”
He is coming in the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and so will those who pierced Him; and all the nations of the earth will gaze on Him and mourn. Even so. 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, "He who is and was and evermore will be--the Ruler of all."
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 a sharer with you in the sorrows and Kingship and patient endurance of Jesus, found myself in the island of Patmos, on account of the Word of God and the truth told us by Jesus.
10 Nʼụbọchị Onyenwe anyị, anọ m nʼime Mmụọ ma nụ otu oke olu dara ụda dị ka opi ike nʼazụ m,
In the Spirit I found myself present on the day of the Lord, and I heard behind me a loud voice which resembled the blast 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.”
It said, "Write forthwith in a roll an account of what you see, and send it to the seven Churches--to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyateira, 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.
I turned to see who it was that was speaking to me; and then 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 center of the lampstands some One resembling the Son of Man, clothed in a robe which reached to His feet, and with a girdle of gold across His breast.
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 white wool--as white as snow; and His eyes resembled 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 silver-bronze, when it is white-hot in a furnace; and His voice resembled the sound 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 a sharp, two-edged sword was seen coming from His mouth; and His glance resembled the sun when it is shining with its full 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 if I were dead. But He laid His right hand upon me and said, "Do not be afraid: I am the First and the Last, and the ever-living One.
19 “Ya mere, detuo ihe niile ị hụrụla, ihe dị ugbu a na ihe gaje ime na mgbe na adịghị anya.
Write down therefore the things you have just seen, and those which are now taking place, and those which are soon to follow:
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.
the secret meaning of the seven stars which you have seen in My right hand, and of the seven lampstands of gold. The seven stars are the ministers of the seven Churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven Churches.
