Revelasyon 1
1 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.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him to make known to his servants, concerning what must shortly take place, and which he sent and revealed by his angel to his servant John,
2 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.
who testified to the message of God and to the testimony to Jesus Christ, omitting nothing of what he had seen.
3 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.
Blessed is the one who reads, and blessed are they who listen to, the words of this prophecy, and lay to heart what is here written; for the time is near.
4 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,
From John, to the seven churches which are in Roman Asia. Blessing and peace be yours from him who is, and who was, and who will be, and from the seven spirits that are before his throne,
5 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.
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the Ruler of all the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his own blood –
6 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)
and he made us a kingdom of priests in the service of God, his Father! – to him be ascribed glory and dominion for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 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.
He is coming among the clouds! Every eye will see him, even those who pierced him and all the nations of the earth will mourn over him. So will it be. Amen.
8 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.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord, the God who is, and who was, and who will be, the Almighty.
9 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.
I, John, who am your brother, and who share with you in the suffering and kingship and endurance of Jesus, found myself on the island called Patmos, for the sake of the message of God and the testimony to Jesus.
10 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.
I fell into a trance on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like the blast of a trumpet.
11 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.
It said – “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamus, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12 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,
I turned to see what voice it was that spoke to me; and when I turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
13 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.
and in the midst of the lamps one like a man, in a robe reaching to his feet, and with a golden sash across his breast.
14 Cheve nan tèt li te tankou lenn mouton, blan kou koton. Je l' yo menm te tankou de flanm dife.
The hair of his head was as white as wool, as white as snow; his eyes were like flaming fire;
15 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.
and his feet were like brass as when molten in a furnace; his voice was like the sound of many streams,
16 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.
in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun in the fulness of its power.
17 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.
And, when I saw him, I fell at his feet like one dead. He laid his hand on me and said – “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,
19 Ekri tou sa ou wè a: ni sa k'ap pase koulye a, ni sa ki gen pou rive apre.
Therefore write of what you have seen and of what is happening now and of what is about to take place –
20 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.
the mystic meaning of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamps are the seven churches.
