< Mulʼata 1 >
1 Kun mulʼata Yesuus Kiristoos, kan akka inni waan dhiʼootti taʼuu qabu garboota isaatti argisiisuuf jedhee Waaqni isaaf kennee dha. Innis ergamaa isaa gara garbicha isaa Yohannisitti ergee akka mulʼanni sun beekamu godhe;
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 Yohannis isa waan arge hundumaa jechuunis dubbii Waaqaatii fi dhuga baʼumsa Yesuus Kiristoos dhugaa baʼuu dha.
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 Namni dubbii raajii kana dubbisu eebbifamaa dha; warri waan raajii sana keessatti barreeffame dhagaʼanii eeganis eebbifamoo dha; barichi dhiʼaateeraatii.
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 Yohannis irraa, Gara waldoota kiristaanaa kanneen biyya Asiyaa keessa jiran torbaniitti: Isa jiru, isa ture, Isa dhufuuf jiruu fi Hafuurota torban fuula teessoo isaa dura jiran irraa,
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 akkasumas Yesuus Kiristoos dhuga baatuu amanamaa, hangafa warra duʼaniitii fi bulchaa mootota lafaa taʼe sana irraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu. Isa nu jaallatuu fi isa dhiiga isaatiin cubbuu keenya irraa bilisa nu baase,
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 isa akka nu Waaqa isaatii fi Abbaa isaa tajaajilluuf mootummaa fi luboota nu taasise sanaaf ulfinnii fi humni bara baraa hamma bara baraatti haa taʼu! Ameen. (aiōn )
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 )
7 “Kunoo, inni duumessa wajjin dhufa; iji hundinuu, warri isa waraanan iyyuu isa ni argu;” saboonni lafaa hundinuus “sababii isaatiif ni wawwaatu.”
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 Waaqni Gooftaan Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, “Ani Alfaa fi Omeegaa dha; isa jiru, isa turee fi isa dhufuuf jiruu dha” jedha.
"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 Ani obboleessi keessan Yohannis dhiphina keessatti, mootummaa fi obsa Yesuus Kiristoos keessattis isin wajjin kan hirmaadhu sababii dubbii Waaqaatii fi sababii dhuga baʼumsa Yesuus Kiristoosiif Phaaximoos biyya bishaaniin marfamte irran ture.
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 Anis guyyaa Gooftaatti Hafuuraanin ture; dugda koo duubaanis sagalee guddaa akka malakataa tokko nan dhagaʼe;
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 sagaleen sunis, “Waan argitu kitaaba maramaa irratti barreessiitii gara waldoota kiristaanaa torbaniitti jechuunis Efesoonitti, Samirnaatti, Phergaamoonitti, Tiyaatiraatti, Sardeesitti, Filaadelfiyaattii fi Lodooqiyaatti ergi” jedhe.
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 Anis sagalee natti dubbachaa ture sana ilaaluuf jedheen of irra gara gale. Ani yommuun of irra gara galetti baattuuwwan ibsaa kanneen warqee irraa hojjetaman torba nan arge;
I turned to see who it was that was speaking to me; and then I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 baattuuwwan ibsaa sana gidduus kan, “ilma namaa fakkaatu” tokkotu ture; innis uffata dheeraa miilla gaʼu uffatee, naannoo qoma isaatti immoo sabbata warqee hidhatee ture.
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 Mataan isaatii fi rifeensi mataa isaa adii akka rifeensa hoolaa, adii akka cabbii ture; iji isaas akka arraba ibiddaa turte.
His head and His hair were white, like white wool--as white as snow; and His eyes resembled a flame of fire.
15 Miilli isaas naasii boolla ibiddaa keessatti diimeffame fakkaata ture; sagaleen isaa immoo akkuma sagalee bishaan baayʼee ti.
His feet were like silver-bronze, when it is white-hot in a furnace; and His voice resembled the sound of many waters.
16 Harka isaa mirgaatiin urjiiwwan torba qabatee ture; afaan isaa keessaas goraadee qara lama qabutu baʼaa ture. Fuulli isaas biiftuu humna guutuun iftu fakkaata ture.
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 Ani yommuun isa argetti akka nama duʼee miilla isaa jalattin kufe. Inni immoo harka isaa mirgaa narra kaaʼee akkana naan jedhe: “Hin sodaatin. Ani kan Jalqabaatii fi kan Dhumaa ti.
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.
18 Isa jiraataa dhas; ani duʼeen ture; kunoo, bara baraa hamma bara baraatti nan jiraadha! Furtuu duʼaatii fi kan Siiʼoolis qaba. (aiōn , Hadēs )
I died; but I am now alive until the Ages of the Ages, and I have the keys of the gates of Death and of Hades! (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 “Kanaafuu ati waan argite, waan amma jiruu fi waan gara fuulduraatti taʼu barreessi.
Write down therefore the things you have just seen, and those which are now taking place, and those which are soon to follow:
20 Icciitiin urjiiwwan torbaa kanneen ati harka koo mirgaa keessatti argiteetii fi baattuuwwan ibsaa kanneen warqee irraa hojjetaman torbanii isa kana: Urjiiwwan torban ergamoota waldaa kiristaanaa torbaa ti; baattuuwwan ibsaa torban immoo waldoota kiristaanaa torbanii dha.
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.
