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,
1:2
ዘኮነስምዐበእንተቃለእግዚአብሔርወበእንተስምዑለኢየሱስክርስቶስወበእንተኵሉዘርእየ።
約翰便將上帝的道和耶穌基督的見證,凡自己所看見的都證明出來。
who testified to God’s word and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.
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;
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—
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.
1:8
አነውእቱአልፋወዖይቤእግዚአብሔርዘሀሎወይሄሉዘመጽአወዘይመጽእዘውእቱይመልክኵሎ።
主上帝說:「我是阿拉法,我是俄梅戛 ,是昔在、今在、以後永在的全能者。」
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, ” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
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.
1:10
መጽአላዕሌየመንፈስበዕለተእሑድወሰማዕኩቃለዐቢየእምድኅሬየከመቃለቀርን።
當主日,我被聖靈感動,聽見在我後面有大聲音如吹號,說:
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
1:12
ወተመየጥኩእርአይዝኰቃለዘይትናገርምስሌየወሶበተመየጥኩናሁእሬኢሰብዑመኃትወዘወርቅ።
我轉過身來,要看是誰發聲與我說話;既轉過來,就看見七個金燈臺。
I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
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.
