1 This is the revelation of Jesus Christ. God gave it to him to show his servants the things that must happen soon. He sent this revelation through his angel to his servant John. 2 John testified about what he saw: God's word and the testimony about Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed is the one who reads, as well as those who hear the words of this prophecy and pay attention to what is written in it because the time is near.
Kristo alimtuma malaika wake amjulishe Yohane, mtumishi wake, mambo hayo, 2 naye Yohane, ameyasema yote aliyoyaona. Na hii ndio taarifa yake kuhusu ujumbe wa Mungu na ukweli uliofunuliwa na Yesu Kristo. 3 Heri yake mtu anayesoma kitabu hiki; heri yao wale wanaosikiliza maneno ya ujumbe huu wa kinabii na kushika yaliyoandikwa humu, maana wakati umekaribia ambapo mambo haya yatatukia.
