Revelation 1
1 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, John,
Men revelasyon Bondye te bay Jezikri pou l' te fè sèvitè l' yo konnen sa ki gen pou rive anvan lontan. Se Kris la menm ki voye zanj li bò kot Jan, sèvitè l' la, pou fè l' konnen tout bagay sa yo.
2 who testified to God’s word and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.
Se menm Jan sa a k'ap rakonte tou sa li te wè. Li rapòte mesaj ki soti nan Bondye a ansanm ak verite Jezikri te fè l' konnen an.
3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is near.
Benediksyon pou moun k'ap li liv sa a. Benediksyon pou tout moun k'ap koute pawòl mesaj sa a ki soti nan Bondye, pou tout moun k'ap obeyi tou sa ki ekri nan Liv sa a, paske pa rete lontan ankò pou bagay sa yo rive.
4 John, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;
Se mwen menm Jan, k'ap ekri sèt legliz ki nan pwovens Lazi yo. M'ap lapriyè pou nou ka resevwa benediksyon ak kè poze ki soti nan Bondye, li menm ki la, ki te toujou la epi ki gen pou vini an, benediksyon ak kè poze ki soti nan sèt lespri yo ki kanpe devan fotèy li a,
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—
benediksyon ak kè poze ki soti nan Jezikri tou, li menm ki te bay verite a jan l' ye a, li menm premie pitit ki leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, li menm ki chèf tout wa ki sou latè. Kris la renmen nou, li bay san li lè li mouri pou l' te ka delivre nou anba peche nou yo.
6 and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Li fè nou tounen wa ak prèt pou n' sèvi Bondye Papa li. Se pou li tout lwanj ak tout otorite pou tout tan. Amèn. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
Gade. Men Kris la ap vini sou tèt nwaj yo! Tout moun pral wè l', menm moun ki te pèse l' yo. Tout pèp sou latè pral kriye lè y'a wè li. Wi, se konsa sa pral pase. Amèn.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Mwen se konmansman, mwen se finisman tankou A ak Z. Se Bondye, Mèt ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa, li menm ki la, ki te toujou la epi ki gen pou vini an.
9 I John, your brother and partner with you in the oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God’s Word and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Mwen menm, Jan, mwen se frè nou. M'ap pataje tout bagay ak nou, kit se soufrans nou, kit se gouvènman Bondye ki wa a, kit se pasians Jezi ban nou an. Yo te ban mwen yon lil yo rele Patmòs pou prizon paske mwen t'ap fè konnen pawòl Bondye a ansanm ak verite Jezi te moutre a.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
Yon jou dimanch, jou Mèt la menm, Lespri Bondye a pran m', mwen tande yon gwo vwa dèyè do m' ki sonnen tankou yon klewon.
11 saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
Li di m' konsa: Tou sa ou wè, ekri yo nan yon liv. Voye liv la bay sèt legliz ki nan sèt lavil sa yo: Efèz, Esmen, Pègam, Tiyati, Sad, Filadèlfi ak Lawodise.
12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
M' vire pou m' wè ki moun ki t'ap pale avè m' lan. Lè sa a, mwen wè sèt gwo lanp sèt branch an lò kanpe,
13 And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
ak nan mitan yo yon moun ki te sanble ak yon gason. Li te gen yon gwo rad sou li byen long ki te bat jouk sou pie l', ak yon sentiwon an lò mare sou lestonmak li.
14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
Cheve nan tèt li te tankou lenn mouton, blan kou koton. Je l' yo menm te tankou de flanm dife.
15 His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
Pie l' yo te klere tankou kwiv yo poli apre yo fin chofe l' nan fòj. Lè l' pale menm, vwa l' te tankou bri gwo dlo k'ap sot tonbe nan yon falèz.
16 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
Li te gen sèt zetwal nan men dwat li ak yon nepe file de bò k'ap soti nan bouch li. Figi l' menm te klere tankou gwo solèy midi.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last,
Lè mwen wè l', mwen tonbe nan pie l' tankou yon moun ki mouri. Li mete men dwat li sou mwen, li di m' konsa: Ou pa bezwen pè! Se mwen ki premie, se mwen ki dènye.
19 Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.
Ekri tou sa ou wè a: ni sa k'ap pase koulye a, ni sa ki gen pou rive apre.
20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.
Men sans kache sèt zetwal ou wè nan men dwat mwen an, ansanm ak sans sèt gwo lanp sèt branch lò yo. Sèt zetwal yo se zanj sèt legliz yo. Sèt gwo lanp sèt branch yo, se sèt legliz yo.
