This is the revelation of Jesus Christ that 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.
John testified about the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all the things that he saw.
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 the one who reads aloud this prophecy, and those who listen to the words of this prophecy and who obey what is written in it, because the time is near.
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, to the seven churches in Asia: May grace be to you and peace from the one 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, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the one who loves us and has released us from our sins by his 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)
he has made us a kingdom, priests for 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.”
Look, he is coming with the clouds; every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him. Yes, 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, “the one 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 the one who shares with you in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are in Jesus—was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony about Jesus.
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. I heard behind me a loud voice like 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 what you see in a book, and send it to the seven churches—to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamum, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to 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 around to see whose voice was speaking to me, and as 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.
In the middle of the lampstands there was one like a son of man, wearing a long robe that reached down to his feet and a golden sash 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 hair were as white as wool—as white as snow—and 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 polished bronze, like bronze that had been refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many rushing 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.
He had seven stars in his right hand, and a sword with two sharp edges was coming out of his mouth. His face was shining like the sun at its strongest.
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 like a dead man. 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 down what you 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.
As for the hidden meaning about the seven stars you 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.”
