< Revelation 1 >

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John:
Ko e Fakahā ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia, ke fakaʻilo ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku totonu ke vave ʻa ʻene hoko; pea ne fekau mo fakaʻilo ia ʻe heʻene ʻāngelo ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Sione:
2 Who bore witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
‌ʻAia naʻa ne fakahā ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua, pea mo e fakamoʻoni ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne mamata ai.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it: for the time is at hand.
‌ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻoku ne lau, mo kinautolu ʻoku fanongo, ki he ngaahi lea ʻoe kikite ni, mo fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tohi ʻi ai: he ʻoku ofi ʻae kuonga.
4 John to the seven churches which 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 who are before his throne;
KO AU SIONE ki he siasi ʻe fitu ʻoku ʻi ʻEsia: Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa, mo e monūʻia, meiate ia ʻoku ʻi ai, pea naʻe ʻi ai, pea mo ia ʻe ʻi ai; pea mei he Laumālie ʻe Toko Fitu ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hono muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki;
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Pea meia Sisu Kalaisi, ko e Fakamoʻoni angatonu, mo e ʻuluaki fakatupu mei he mate, mo e ʻEiki ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani; ke ʻiate ia naʻa ne ʻofeina ʻakitautolu, pea ne fufulu ʻakitautolu mei heʻetau ngaahi angahala ʻaki hono taʻataʻa ʻoʻona,
6 And hath made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Pea ne ngaohi ʻakitautolu ko e ngaahi tuʻi, mo e kau taulaʻeiki ki he ʻOtua mo ʻene Tamai; ke ʻiate ia ʻae ongoongolelei mo e pule ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also who pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Vakai, ʻoku hāʻele mai ia mo e ngaahi ʻao; pea ʻe mamata kiate ia ʻae mata kotoa pē, ʻio, mo kinautolu naʻa nau hokaʻi ia: pea ʻe tangi mamahi ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo māmani koeʻuhi ko ia. Ke pehē pe, ʻEmeni.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Ko au ko e ʻAlifa mo e ʻOmeka, ko e kamataʻanga mo e ngataʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai, pea naʻe ʻi ai, pea ko ia ia ʻe ʻi ai, ko e Māfimafi.”
9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Ko au Sione, ko homou tokoua, mo e kaunga meʻa ʻi he mamahi, pea mo e puleʻanga mo e faʻa kātaki ʻo Sisu Kalaisi, naʻaku ʻi he motu ʻoku ui ko Patimosi koeʻuhi ko e folofola ʻae ʻOtua, pea koeʻuhi ko e fakamoʻoni ʻo Sisu Kalaisi.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Pea ne u ʻi he Laumālie ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻEiki, pea ne u ongoʻi ʻae leʻo lahi mei hoku tuʻa, ʻo hangē ko ha meʻa lea,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
‌ʻOku pehē mai, “Ko au ko e ʻAlifa mo e ʻOmeka, ko e ʻuluaki mo e ki mui:” pea, “Ko hai ʻoku ke mamata ki ai, tohi ʻi ha tohi, ʻo ʻave ki he ngaahi siasi ʻe fitu ʻoku ʻi ʻEsia; ki ʻEfesō, mo Simana, mo Peakamosi, mo Taiataila, mo Satisi, mo Filatelifia, mo Leotisia.”
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands;
Pea ne u tafoki ke u ʻilo ʻae leʻo naʻe lea kiate au. Pea ʻi heʻeku tafoki, ne u mamata ki he tuʻunga maama koula ʻe fitu;
13 And in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the breasts with a golden band.
Pea ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi tuʻunga maama ʻe fitu, ko e tokotaha ʻo hangē ko e Foha ʻoe tangata, kuo kofuʻaki ʻae kofu naʻe aʻu hifo ki he vaʻe, pea nonoʻo ki hono fatafata ʻaki ʻae noʻo koula.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Ko hono ʻulu mo e louʻulu naʻe hina ʻo hangē ko e hinehina ʻoe fulufuluʻi sipi, ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina; pea naʻe tatau hono fofonga mo e ulo ʻoe afi;
15 And his feet like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Pea tatau hono vaʻe mo e palasa lelei, ʻo hangē ko ʻene kakaha ʻi he hakaʻanga ukamea; pea ko hono leʻo, naʻe tatau mo e ʻuʻulu ʻoe ngaahi vai lahi.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
Pea naʻe ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻae fetuʻu ʻe fitu: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi hono ngutu ʻae heletā māsila ʻo fakatoumata: pea naʻe tatau hono fofonga mo e laʻā ʻi heʻene ulo ʻi hono mālohi.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Pea ʻi heʻeku mamata kiate ia, “Ne u tō hifo ʻi hono vaʻe ʻo hangē ha mate. Pea naʻa ne ʻai kiate au hono nima toʻomataʻu, ʻo ne pehē mai kiate au, ʻOua ʻe manavahē; ko au ko e ʻuluaki mo e ki mui:
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
Ko au ia ʻoku moʻui, ka ne u mate, pea vakai, ʻoku ou moʻui ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata, ʻEmeni; pea kuo ʻiate au ʻae kī ʻo hētesi mo e mate. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be after this;
Tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo ke mamata ai, mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi ai, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko ʻamui;
20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lampstands which thou sawest are the seven churches.
Ko e fakatātā ʻoe fetuʻu ʻe fitu ʻaia ne ke mamata ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu, pea mo e tuʻunga maama koula ʻe fitu. Ko e fetuʻu ʻe fitu, ko e kau ʻāngelo ʻoe ngaahi siasi ʻe fitu: pea ko e tuʻunga maama ʻe fitu ʻaia ne ke mamata ai, ko e ngaahi siasi ia ʻe fitu.
