1The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to make known to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass: and signified, sending by his angel to his servant John,
1Ko 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:
2Who hath given testimony to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen.
2ʻAia 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.
3Blessed is he, that readeth and heareth the words of this prophecy; and keepeth those things which are written in it; for the time is at hand.
3ʻOku 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.
4John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace from him that is, and that was, and that is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne,
4KO 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;
5And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
5Pea 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,
6And hath made us a kingdom, and priests to God and his Father, to him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.
6Pea 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.
7Behold, he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also that pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth shall bewail themselves because of him. Even so. Amen.
7Vakai, 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.
8I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
8ʻOku 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.”
9I John, your brother and your partner in tribulation, and in the kingdom, and patience in Christ Jesus, was in the island, which is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.
9Ko 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.
10I was in the spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
10Pea 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,
11Saying: What thou seest, write in a book, and send to the seven churches which are in Asia, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
11ʻOku 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.”
12And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks:
12Pea 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;
13And in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, one like to the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
13Pea 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.
14And his head and his hairs were white, as white wool, and as snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,
14Ko 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;
15And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound of many waters.
15Pea 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.
16And he had in his right hand seven stars. And from his mouth came out a sharp two edged sword: and his face was as the sun shineth in his power.
16Pea 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.
17And when I had seen 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,
17Pea 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:
18And alive, and was dead, and behold I am living for ever and ever, and have the keys of death and of hell.
18Ko 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.
19Write therefore the things which thou hast seen, and which are, and which must be done hereafter.
19Tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo ke mamata ai, mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi ai, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko ʻamui;
20The mystery of the seven stars, which thou sawest 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.
20Ko 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.
