< Apokalypsy 1 >
1 Ny Fanambaran’ i Jesosy Kristy, izay nomen’ Andriamanitra Azy, mba hasehony amin’ ny mpanompony izay zavatra tsy maintsy ho tonga faingana; ary naniraka ny anjeliny Izy hanambara amin’ i Jaona mpanompony,
This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John,
2 Izay nanambara ny tenin’ Andriamanitra sy ny filazana an’ i Jesosy Kristy, dia ny zavatra rehetra izay efa hitany.
who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
3 Sambatra izay manaiky sy ny mihaino ny tenin’ ity faminaniana ity ka mitandrina izay voasoratra ato anatiny; fa antomotra ny andro.
Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and obey what is written in it, because the time is near.
4 Jaona mamangy ny fiangonana fito any Asia: Ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin’ ilay ankehitriny sy taloha ary ho avy; ary avy amin’ ny Fanahy fito izay eo anoloan’ ny seza fiandrianany;
John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him who is and was and is to come, and from the seven Spirits before His throne,
5 ary avy amin’ i Jesosy Kristy, Vavolombelona marina sy Lahimatoa amin’ ny maty ary Lehiben’ ny mpanjaka amin’ ny tany. Ho an’ izay tia antsika ka namaha antsika ho afaka amin’ ny fahotantsika tamin’ ny ràny,
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 has released us from our sins by His blood,
6 sady efa nanao antsika ho fanjakana, dia mpisorona ho an’ Andriamanitra Ray, ― ho Azy anie ny voninahitra sy ny fanjakana mandrakizay mandrakizay. Amena. (aiōn )
who has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen. (aiōn )
7 Indro Izy avy amin’ ny rahona; ary ny maso rehetra hahita Azy, na dia izay nandefona Azy aza; ary hitomany Azy ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany. Eny, Amena.
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 mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.
8 Izaho no Alfa sy Omega, hoy ny Tompo Andriamanitra, Ilay ankehitriny sy taloha ary ho avy, dia ny Tsitoha.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty.
9 Izaho Jaona, rahalahinareo sy namanareo amin’ ny fahoriana ary amin’ ny fanjakana sy ny faharetana ao amin’ i Jesosy, dia tao amin’ ny nosy atao hoe Patmo noho ny tenin’ Andriamanitra sy ny filazana an’ i Jesosy.
I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance that are in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and my testimony about Jesus.
10 Voatsindrin’ ny Fanahy tamin’ ny Andron’ ny Tompo aho ka nahare feo mahery teo ivohoko, toy ny feon’ ny trompetra,
On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
11 nanao hoe: Izay zavatra hitanao dia soraty eo amin’ ny boky, ka ampitondray ho any amin’ ny fiangonana fito, dia ho any Efesosy sy Smyrna sy Pergamosy sy Tyatira sy Sardisy sy Filadelfia ary Laodikia.
saying, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12 Dia nitodika aho nizaha ilay feo niteny tamiko. Koa rehefa nitodika aho, dia nahita fanaovan-jiro volamena fito;
Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 ary teo afovoan’ ny fanaovan-jiro dia nisy Anankiray tahaka ny Zanak’ olona niakanjo akanjo lava hatrany an-tongony sady nisikina fisikinam-bolamena teo amin’ ny tratrany.
and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest.
14 Ary ny lohany sy ny volony dia fotsy tahaka ny volon’ ondry fotsy, dia tahaka ny oram-panala, ary ny masony tahaka ny lelafo;
The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a blazing fire.
15 ary ny tongony tahaka ny varahina manganohano, hoatra ilay voadio teo amin’ ny fandrendrehana iny; ary ny feony toy ny firohondrohon’ ny rano be.
His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters.
16 Ary nitana kintana fito teny an-tànany ankavanana Izy; ary nisy sabatra maranitra roa lela nivoaka avy teo am-bavany; ary ny tarehiny dia tahaka ny masoandro mamirapiratra amin’ ny heriny.
He held in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
17 Ary raha nahita Azy aho, dia lavo niankohoka tahaka ny maty teo anoloan’ ny tongony. Fa Izy nanendry ahy tamin’ ny tànany ankavanana ka nanao hoe: Aza matahotra; Izaho no Voalohany sy Farany,
When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He placed His right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,
18 dia Ilay velona; efa maty Aho, nefa, indro, velona mandrakizay mandrakizay sady manana ny fanalahidin’ ny fahafatesana sy ny fiainan-tsi-hita. (aiōn , Hadēs )
the Living One. I was dead, and behold, now I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of Death and of Hades. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Koa soraty izay zavatra efa hitanao, na izay zavatra ankehitriny, na izay zavatra mbola ho avy rahatrizay,
Therefore write down the things you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that will happen after this.
20 dia ny zava-miafina ny amin’ ny kintana fito izay efa hitanao teny an-tanako ankavanana sy ny fanaovan-jiro volamena fito. Ny kintana fito dia ny anjelin’ ny fiangonana fito: ary ny fanaovan-jiro fito dia fiangonana fito.
This is the mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
