< 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,
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to shew to his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by 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 bare witness to the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, and to whatever He saw.
3 Sambatra izay manaiky sy ny mihaino ny tenin’ ity faminaniana ity ka mitandrina izay voasoratra ato anatiny; fa antomotra ny andro.
Happy is he that readeth, and those that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein: for 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 Asia---Grace and peace be to you, from Him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are 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, who is the faithful witness, the first-born from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own 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 )
and hath made us kings and priests to his God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever 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 shall see Him, even they that pierced Him: and all the tribes of the earth shall lament before Him. Even so, 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, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who 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, who am also your brother, and companion in the affliction, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, for the sake of the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 Voatsindrin’ ny Fanahy tamin’ ny Andron’ ny Tompo aho ka nahare feo mahery teo ivohoko, toy ny feon’ ny trompetra,
Here I was in the Spirit on the Lord's-day: and heard behind me a loud voice, as of 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, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last; and, What thou seest write in a book, and send it to the seven churches in Asia, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
12 Dia nitodika aho nizaha ilay feo niteny tamiko. Koa rehefa nitodika aho, dia nahita fanaovan-jiro volamena fito;
And I turned to see the voice that spake to me: and when I turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
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 in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like the Son of man, clothed with a long robe, and girded about the breasts with a golden girdle.
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;
His head and his hairs were white like white wool, as white as snow; and his eyes as a flame of 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.
and his feet like fine brass, as if they were glowing in a furnace: and his voice as the sound 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.
and He had in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun when he shineth in his strength.
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,
And when I saw Him, I fell at his feet as dead; and He laid his right hand upon me, and said to me, "Fear not,
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 )
I am the first and the last, who live, though I was dead; and behold, I am alive for ever and ever, Amen, and have the keys of hades and of death. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Koa soraty izay zavatra efa hitanao, na izay zavatra ankehitriny, na izay zavatra mbola ho avy rahatrizay,
Write what thou hast seen, the things which are, and which are to be hereafter."
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.
As to the mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks; the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
