The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to point out unto his servants the things which must needs come to pass with speed, —and he shewed them by signs, sending through his messenger, unto his servant John;

I, John, your brother, and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, came to be in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and the witness of Jesus.
10 Pumapa nikhuo han Ratha'n ku chunga sin a thoa, male ku nûktieng rôl inringtak, bekul inring angin ki rieta.
I came to be, in Spirit, in the Lord’s Day, and heard, behind me, a loud voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Ma anghin a tia, “Neinun nu mu ngei hi miziek roh, male ma lekhabu hi khopuilien sari ngei sûnga koiindang sari ngei kôm muthuon ngei roh: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia le Laodicea.”
saying—What thou seest, write in a scroll, and send unto the Seven Assemblies, —unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, —and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, —and unto Laodicea.
12 Tumo mi rokôk en rangin ko hônheia anîn chu, rângkachak châtidarnangei sari ku mua,
And I turned round, to see the Voice which was speaking with me, and, having turned, I saw Seven Lamps of gold;
13 male ma châtidarnangei lâia han munisi aphuozek, a kephangei dênin kâncholiinchuol a haka, a rôpa rângkachak kongkhit a khit ku mua.
and, in the midst of the lamps, One like unto a Son of Man: —clothed with a robe, reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a girdle of gold,
14 A sam chu belrimul, aninônchu rodokang dôra chek, male a mitngei chu meichuong angati;
And his head and hair, white, like white wool—like snow, and, his eyes, like a flame of fire,
15 a kephangei chu sum-eng meikhura hâlminvâr le nôtminvâr angin aoma, a rôl miring chu tuitâk rasa angin ani.
And, his feet, like unto glowing copper, as if in a furnace refined, and, his voice, like a sound of many waters,
16 A kut changtieng ârsi sari ngei a chôia, male a bâi renga khandai beniknei angaidak ahong suoka. A mâi chu sûnchimripa nisa râtlâitak angin ani.
And, having in his right hand, seven stars, and, out of his mouth, a sharp, two-edged sword, going forth; and, his whole appearance, as when, the sun, shineth in its strength.
17 Ama hah ku mu lehan, a kebula athi angin kên let raka. A kut changtieng ku chunga minngamin, “Chi no roh! Keima hih amotontak le anûktak ki ni, a tia.
And, when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead, and he laid his right hand upon me, saying—Do not fear! I, am the First, and the Last,
18 Keima hi aring hah ki ni! Ki thia, aniatachu atûn chu tuonsôta rangin ki ring nôk zoi ani. Thina chunga le mithi khuo chunga khom rachamneina ko dôn ani. (aiōn , Hadēs )
and the Living One, —and I became dead; —and lo! living, am I, unto the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Hanchu, neinun nu mu ngei, atûna aom ngei le nûkka ahong om rang ngei hih miziek roh.
Write, therefore—what things thou hast seen and what they are; and what things are about to come to pass, after these things:
20 Ma hih ku kut changtienga ârsi sari nu mu ngei, le rângkachak châtidarna sari ngei omtie inthup chu an ni: ârsi sari ngei chu koiindang sari ngeia vântîrtonngei an nia, male châtidarna sari ngei chu koiindang sari ngei hah an ni.”
The sacred secret of the seven stars, which thou sawest upon my right hand, and the seven lamps of gold: —The seven stars, are, messengers of the seven assemblies, and, the seven lamps, are, seven assemblies
