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,

¹Jesu Kris kilakna, Pathianin a sikhate kiang a lak dinga amah a piak, thil hongom pah mahmah dingte: Huan aman tuh a sikha Johan kiangah a angel sawlin chiamtehnain a theisaka;

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

²amah Johanin tuh Pathian thu leh, Jesu Kris tungtang thu leh, thil tengteng a muhte tuh a theisak ta.

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.

³Huan genkholhna thute sima, hiai genkholhna thute jaa, huaia thil kigelhte juite tuh hampha uhi; a hun a naita ngala.

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;

⁴Johanin Asia gama om saptuam sagihte kiangah: Hehpihna leh lemna na kiang ua om hen: Amah omlel leh, omsa leh, hongpai ngei dingpa akipan; leh a laltutphah maa om Kha sagihte akipanain,

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;

⁵leh Jesu Kris, theihpihpa ginom, misite laka piang masapen leh leitunga kumpipate vaihawmpa akipanin. Ei honita, i khelhna akipana a sisanin hon sawppa amah kiangah;

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.

⁶leh lalgam hi ding a honbawla, a Pathian leh a Pa kianga siampute hi ding a honbawl, amah kiangah thupina leh vaihawmna, khantawn, khantawnin om hen. Amen.

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.

⁷Ngai in, meipi toh a hong pai hi; huan mi chitengin amah a mu ding ua, amah sunten leng; huan leitunga nam tengtengin amah a kah ding uh. Hi ngei, Amen.

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.”

⁸Kei Alpha leh Omega ka hi Toupa Pathian, omlel leh omsa leh hongpai ding, Bangkimhihtheiin a chi hi.

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.

⁹Kei Johan, Jesua om haksathuakna leh lalgam leh kuhkalnaa, na unau u leh na tanpihpa uh, Pathian leh Jesu tungtang thu ah, tuikulh gam Patmos kichi ah ka oma.

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

¹⁰Toupa niin Khain ka oma, huan ka nunglamah aw ngaihtakin, pengkul ging bang maiin,

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.”

¹¹Na thil muhte laibu ah gelh inla, saptuam sagihte kiangah khak in: Ephesa khuaah, leh Smarna khuaa, leh Pergamam khua ah, leh Thaiatira khua ah, leh Sardi khua ah leh Philadelphia khua ah, leh Leodisia khua ah, chiin, ka zata hi.

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

¹²Huan, kei honhoupih huai aw muh tumin ka kiheia. Huchia ka kihei aleh dangkaeng tuikuang koihna sagih ka muta a.

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.

¹³Huan, huai tuikuang koihna laiah kuahiam mihing tapa toh kibang, a khepek phaa puan silh, a awm khawnga dangkaeng gaknaa kigak tuh ka muta hi.

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

¹⁴Huan, a lu leh a sam tuh samul kang bangin a kanga, vuk bangin; huan a mit tuh meikuang bang ahi;

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

¹⁵huan, a khe khawng tuh sumsan nawttet bang ahi a, meipia hal siangsa bangin; huan a aw tuh tui tampi ging bang ahi.

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.

¹⁶Huan a khut taklamin aksi sagih a tawia; huan a kam a kipanin namsau hiamtak hiamtuah a suak khia a; huan a mel tuh ni a sat sanlai bang ahi.

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,

¹⁷Huchia amah ka muh takin, kei tuh misi bangin a khe bulah ka pukkta a. Huan aman a khut taklam ka tunga koihin, Lau ken; a masapen leh a nanungpen leh.

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 .

¹⁸Mi Hing ka hi; huan ka hongsi a, huan ngaiin khantawnin ka hing hi, sihna leh misi kho tahbi ka nei hi.

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

¹⁹Huaijiakin na thil muhsate leh thil om lelte lah tununga thul hongom dingte gelh in;Ka khut taklam a aksi sagih na muhte leh dangkaeng tuikuang koihna sagihte thuguk. Aksi sagihte tuh saptuam sagihte angelte ahi ua; huan tuikuang koihna sagihte tuh saptuam sagihte ahi uhi, a chi a.

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.

²⁰Ka khut taklam a aksi sagih na muhte leh dangkaeng tuikuang koihna sagihte thuguk. Aksi sagihte tuh saptuam sagihte angelte ahi ua; huan tuikuang koihna sagihte tuh saptuam sagihte ahi uhi, a chi a.
