< Revelation 1 >

1 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what will happen soon. He sent his angel to reveal it 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 confirmed everything he saw concerning the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Izay nanambara ny tenin’ Andriamanitra sy ny filazana an’ i Jesosy Kristy, dia ny zavatra rehetra izay efa hitany.
3 Anyone who reads this is blessed, as are those who hear these prophetic words and pay attention to what's written, because the time is near.
Sambatra izay manaiky sy ny mihaino ny tenin’ ity faminaniana ity ka mitandrina izay voasoratra ato anatiny; fa antomotra ny andro.
4 This letter comes from John and is sent to the seven churches in the province of Asia. May you have grace and peace from the one who was, who is, and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits 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 the trustworthy witness, the firstborn from the dead, the ruler of earthly kings. To Jesus who loves us and freed us from our sins by his 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 who made us into his kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to Jesus be glory and authority for ever and ever. 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 Look, he is coming surrounded by clouds, and everybody shall see him, even those who killed him. All the peoples of the earth will weep because of him. May it be 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 Beginning and the End,” says the All-powerful Lord God, who was, who is, and who is to come.
Izaho no Alfa sy Omega, hoy ny Tompo Andriamanitra, Ilay ankehitriny sy taloha ary ho avy, dia ny Tsitoha.
9 I am John, your brother who shares with you in the suffering and in the kingdom and in the patient waiting that are our experience in Jesus. I was detained on the island of Patmos for sharing the word of God and the truth as revealed by Jesus.
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 filled by the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard a loud voice behind me that sounded like a trumpet.
Voatsindrin’ ny Fanahy tamin’ ny Andron’ ny Tompo aho ka nahare feo mahery teo ivohoko, toy ny feon’ ny trompetra,
11 It told me, “Write down in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and 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 I turned round to see who was speaking to me. When I 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 standing among the candlesticks was someone who looked like a Son of man. He was wearing a robe that reached down to his feet with a golden sash across his chest.
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 hair looked like white wool, and his eyes like flaming 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 His feet looked like polished brass that had been refined in a furnace. His voice sounded like a thundering waterfall.
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 He was holding seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword came out of his mouth. His face shone like the sun at its brightest.
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 When I saw him I fell down at his feet as if I were dead. But he touched me with his right hand and said, “Don't be afraid, 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 the living one. I was dead, but look! Now I am alive for ever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and the grave. (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 So write down what you've seen—what's happening in the present and what will happen in the future.
Koa soraty izay zavatra efa hitanao, na izay zavatra ankehitriny, na izay zavatra mbola ho avy rahatrizay,
20 The meaning of the seven stars that you saw me holding in my right hand and the seven golden candlesticks is this: 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.
