¹This 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 or, messenger (here and wherever angel is mentioned) to his servant, John,

¹Li tz'îbanbil sa' li hu a'in quic'utbesîc chiru li Jesucristo xban li Dios. Quixc'utbesi chiru li Jesucristo re nak a'an chic tâc'utbesînk re chiruheb laj pâbanel li c'a'ru tâc'ulmânk chi sêb. Jo'can nak li Jesucristo quixtakla lix ángel chixc'utbesinquil a'in chiru laj Juan laj c'anjel chiru.

²who testified to God’s word, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.

²Ut a'an quixye resil chixjunil li quic'utbesîc chiru. A'an a'in li quixye li Dios jo' quic'utbesîc chiru laj Juan xban li Jesucristo.

³Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is at hand.

³Us xak re li ani naril xsa' li hu a'in ut naxq'ue retal li c'a'ru naxye. Us xak re li ani naxbânu li c'a'ru tz'îbanbil chi sa' xban nak relic chi yâl nak yô chi cuulac xk'ehil nak tâc'ulmânk li c'a'ru naxye.

⁴John, 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;

⁴Lâin laj Juan. Yôquin chi tz'îbac êriq'uin lâex li cuukub ch'ûtalex chi aj pâbanel li cuanquex aran Asia.

⁵and 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;

⁵A' taxak li usilal ut li tuktûquilal chicuânk êriq'uin li naxq'ue li Jesucristo li tîc xch'ôl chixyebal li yâl. Li Jesucristo a'an li xbên li quicuacli chi yo'yo sa' xyânkeb li camenak.

⁶and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests Exodus 19:6; Isaiah 61:6 to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

⁶A'an naq'uehoc kacuanquil re toc'anjelak chok' aj tij chiru li Acuabej Dios. Lok'oninbil taxak li Jesucristo. Nimanbilak taxak ru ut a'an taxak chicuânk xcuanquil sa' xbên chixjunil chi junelic k'e cutan. Jo'can taxak.

⁷Behold, 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.

⁷Q'uehomak retal. A'an tâchâlk chak sa' li chok ut chixjunileb te'ilok re. Te'ril ajcui' eb li que'camsin re. Chixjunileb li cuanqueb sa' ruchich'och' te'yot'ek' xch'ôl ut te'yâbak xban li raylal li te'xc'ul. Jo'can taxak chic'ulmânk.

⁸ “I am the Alpha and the Omega, TR adds “the Beginning and the End” ” says the Lord God, TR omits “God” “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

⁸Quixye li Kâcua' Dios: -Lâin quinyo'obtesin re chixjunil ut lâin tinsachok re chixjunil. Lâin li Alfa ut li Omega. Ut k'axal nim incuanquil, chan li nimajcual Dios.

⁹I John, your brother and partner with you in 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.

⁹Lâin laj Juan, lê rech aj pâbanelil. Lâin xintz'akon ajcui' riq'uin xcuybal li raylal sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo êrochben lâex li sic'bil êru xban li Kâcua'. Lâin cuanquin arin sa' li na'ajej Patmos li sutsu riq'uin ha' xban nak xinch'olob xyâlal li râtin li Dios ut xinye resil li Jesucristo.

¹⁰I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet

¹⁰Sa' li cutan nak nakach'utub kib chixlok'oninquil li Kâcua', riq'uin xcuanquil li Santil Musik'ej, li Dios quixc'utbesi jun li visión chicuu. Quicuabi jun xyâb cux chicuix. Chanchan xyâb jun li trompeta yô chi ec'ânc.

¹¹saying, “ TR adds “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last.” What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies TR adds “which are in Asia” : to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

¹¹Quixye cue: -Li c'a'ru tinc'utbesi châcuu tâtz'îba sa' jun li botbil hu ut tâtakla riq'uineb li cuukub ch'ûtaleb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb sa' xcuênt Asia. Takla riq'uineb li cuanqueb Efeso, Esmirna, ut Pérgamo. Ut tâtakla ajcui' riq'uineb li cuanqueb Tiatira, Sardis, Filadelfia ut Laodicea, chan.

¹²I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands.

¹²Ut nak quin-iloc chicuix chirilbal ani yô chi âtinânc cue, quicuil cuukub li candelero cuan xxamlel yîbanbil riq'uin oro.

¹³And among the lampstands was one like a son of man, Daniel 7:13 clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.

¹³Ut sa' xyânkeb li candelero xakxo li C'ajolbej. Chanchan na-iloc jun cuînk nak quicuil. Toj chi rok nacuulac xnimal rok li rak'. Cuan jun c'âmal sa' yîbanbil riq'uin oro chire xch'ôl.

¹⁴His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.

¹⁴Li rismal xjolom sak sak jo' xsakal li nok' lana. Chanchan xsakal li nieve. Ut lix nak' ru nalemtz'un chanchan xam.

¹⁵His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.

¹⁵Li rok nalemtz'un chanchan li châbil ch'îch' bronce ut cakjorin chanchan li k'an ch'îch' nak cuan sa' xam. Nak naâtinac chanchan xyâb lix cau ok li palau.

¹⁶He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.

¹⁶Sa' lix nim uk' chapcho cuukub li chahim. Ut sa' re cuan jun li ch'îch' ca' pac'al xk'esnal. C'ajo' nalemtz'un li ru. Chanchan nak nalemtz'un li sak'e.

¹⁷When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last,

¹⁷Nak quicuil ru quint'ane' chi rok. Chanchan camenak quincana. Ut a'an quixq'ue lix nim uk' sa' inbên ut quixye cue: -Matxucuac. Lâin li ac cuanquin chak sa' xticlajic li ruchich'och' ut cuânkin chi junelic k'e cutan.

¹⁸ and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades or, Hell .

¹⁸Lâin yo'yôquin. Lâin quincam, abanan yo'yôquin chic chi junelic k'e cutan. Lâin cuan incuanquil sa' xbên li câmc. Ut lâin ajcui' yal cue sa' xbên li na'ajej li neque'xic cui' li camenak.

¹⁹ Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter;

¹⁹Tz'îba retalil li c'a'ru yôcat chirilbal xban nak a'an retalil li yô chi c'ulmânc anakcuan ut li tâc'ulmânk mokon.Lix yâlal li cuukub chi chahim li xacuil sa' lin nim uk', a'an li retalileb li cuukub lix takl li Dios li neque'iloc reheb li cuukub ch'ûtal chi aj pâbanel. Ut lix yâlal li cuukub chi candelero, a'an retalileb li cuukub ch'ûtal chi aj pâbanel.

²⁰ the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels or, messengers (here and wherever angels are mentioned) of the seven assemblies. The seven lampstands are seven assemblies.

²⁰Lix yâlal li cuukub chi chahim li xacuil sa' lin nim uk', a'an li retalileb li cuukub lix takl li Dios li neque'iloc reheb li cuukub ch'ûtal chi aj pâbanel. Ut lix yâlal li cuukub chi candelero, a'an retalileb li cuukub ch'ûtal chi aj pâbanel.
