< Revelation 1 >

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, that he might show to his servants the things that must shortly come to pass; and he sent it by his angel, and made it known to his servant John,
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,
2 who bore testimony to the word of God, and recorded the testimony of Jesus Christ, whatever things he saw.
Izay nanambara ny tenin’ Andriamanitra sy ny filazana an’ i Jesosy Kristy, dia ny zavatra rehetra izay efa hitany.
3 Blessed is he that reads, and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; for the time is at hand.
Sambatra izay manaiky sy ny mihaino ny tenin’ ity faminaniana ity ka mitandrina izay voasoratra ato anatiny; fa antomotra ny andro.
4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia, grace be to you and peace from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before his throne;
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;
5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first-born from the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loves us, and that has washed us from our sins in his own blood,
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,
6 and has made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be glory and might from age to age. Amen. (aiōn g165)
sady efa nanao antsika ho fanjakana, dia mpisorona ho an’ Andriamanitra Ray, ― ho Azy anie ny voninahitra sy ny fanjakana mandrakizay mandrakizay. Amena. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he comes with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and those also who pierced him: and all the tribes of the land shall lament because of him. Even so. Amen.
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.
8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
Izaho no Alfa sy Omega, hoy ny Tompo Andriamanitra, Ilay ankehitriny sy taloha ary ho avy, dia ny Tsitoha.
9 I John, your brother and companion in the affliction, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, on account of the word of God, and on account of the testimony of Jesus Christ.
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.
10 I was in spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice like that of a trumpet,
Voatsindrin’ ny Fanahy tamin’ ny Andron’ ny Tompo aho ka nahare feo mahery teo ivohoko, toy ny feon’ ny trompetra,
11 saying: What you see, write in a book, and send to the seven churches; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
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.
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me: and having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks,
Dia nitodika aho nizaha ilay feo niteny tamiko. Koa rehefa nitodika aho, dia nahita fanaovan-jiro volamena fito;
13 and in the midst of the seven candlesticks, one like the Son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to his feet, and girded about the breast with a golden girdle.
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.
14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Ary ny lohany sy ny volony dia fotsy tahaka ny volon’ ondry fotsy, dia tahaka ny oram-panala, ary ny masony tahaka ny lelafo;
15 and his feet were like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace: and his voice was like the voice of many waters.
ary ny tongony tahaka ny varahina manganohano, hoatra ilay voadio teo amin’ ny fandrendrehana iny; ary ny feony toy ny firohondrohon’ ny rano be.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth went a sharp, two-edged sword: arid his face was as the sun when it shines in its strength.
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.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying: Fear not, I am the First and the Last,
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,
18 and I am he that lives; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive from age to age: and I have the keys of hades and of death. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
dia Ilay velona; efa maty Aho, nefa, indro, velona mandrakizay mandrakizay sady manana ny fanalahidin’ ny fahafatesana sy ny fiainan-tsi-hita. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
19 Write, therefore, the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and those which shall be hereafter;
Koa soraty izay zavatra efa hitanao, na izay zavatra ankehitriny, na izay zavatra mbola ho avy rahatrizay,
20 the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches; and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.
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.
