Revelation 1 Offenbarung 1 Revelation 1 Apocalipsis 1 Apocalypse 1 Rivelazione 1 启示录1

**Ἀποκάλυψις 1·1** ¶ Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἣν ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς δεῖξαι τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ, ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι ἐν τάχει, καὶ ἐσήμανεν ἀποστείλας διὰ τοῦ ἀγγέλου αὐτοῦ τῷ δούλῳ αὐτοῦ Ἰωάννῃ, Revelation 1.1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants, what he saw happening in the near future, and he was sent by his angel to his servant John,

**2** ὃς ἐμαρτύρησε τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὅσα τε εἶδε. 2 who testified the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what he saw.

**3** μακάριος ὁ ἀναγινώσκων, καὶ οἱ ἀκούοντες τοὺς λόγους τῆς προφητείας καὶ τηροῦντες τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ γεγραμμένα· ὁ γὰρ καιρὸς ἐγγύς. 3 Blessed is he that recollecteth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

**4** ¶ Ἰωάννης ταῖς ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαις ταῖς ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ· χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ τοῦ ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος· καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἑπτὰ πνευμάτων ἅ ἐστιν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ· 4 John to the seven churches in Asia: grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven spirits who are before his throne;

**5** καὶ ἀπὸ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὁ μάρτυς ὁ πιστός, ὁ πρωτότοκος ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ ὁ ἄρχων τῶν βασιλέων τῆς γῆς. 5 And of Jesus Christ, the faithful martyr, the firstborn from the dead, and the chief of the kings of the earth. τῷ ἀγαπήσαντι ἡμᾶς, καὶ λούσαντι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ αἵματι αὐτοῦ· to him who loved us, and washed us from our sins in his blood;

**6** καὶ ἐποίησεν ἡμᾶς βασιλεῖς καὶ ἱερεῖς τῷ Θεῷ καὶ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ· αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. 6 And he hath made us kings and priests unto his God and his father: to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. ἀμήν. Amen.

**7** ἰδού, ἔρχεται μετὰ τῶν νεφελῶν, καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν πᾶς ὀφθαλμός, καὶ οἵτινες αὐτὸν ἐξεκέντησαν· καὶ κόψονται ἐπ̓ αὐτὸν πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς. 7 Behold, he cometh after the clouds, and every eye beholdeth him, and they that beheld him: and all the tribes of the earth are cut off from him. ναί, ἀμήν. Yes, amen.

**8** ¶ Ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ Α καὶ τὸ Ω, ἀρχὴ καὶ τέλος, λέγει ὁ Κύριος, ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος, ὁ παντοκράτωρ. 8 I am the A and the Z, the beginning and the end, says the Lord, the One who was and the One who is to come, the Almighty.

**9** ¶ Ἐγὼ Ἰωάννης, ὁ καὶ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν καὶ συγκοινωνὸς ἐν τῇ θλίψει καὶ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ καὶ ὑπομονῇ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἐγενόμην ἐν τῇ νήσῳ τῇ καλουμένῃ Πάτμῳ, διὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ διὰ τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. 9 ¶ I John, both your brother and fellowlabourer in the tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was born in the isle called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

**10** ἐγενόμην ἐν Πνεύματι ἐν τῇ Κυριακῇ ἡμέρᾳ· καὶ ἤκουσα ὀπίσω μου φωνὴν μεγάλην ὡς σάλπιγγος, 10 I was in the Spirit on Sunday, and I heard behind me a great voice like a trumpet,

**11** λεγούσης, Ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ Α καὶ τὸ Ω, ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος· καί, Ὃ βλέπεις γράψον εἰς βιβλίον, καὶ πέμψον ταῖς ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαις ταῖς ἐν Ἀσίᾳ, εἰς Ἔφεσον, καὶ εἰς Σμύρναν, καὶ εἰς Πέργαμον, καὶ εἰς Θυάτειρα, καὶ εἰς Σάρδεις, καὶ εἰς Φιλαδέλφειαν, καὶ εἰς Λαοδίκειαν. 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, Behold, I have written in a book, and have committed to the seven churches which are in Asia, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

**12** καὶ ἐπέστρεψα βλέπειν τὴν φωνὴν ἥτις ἐλάλησε μετ̓ ἐμοῦ. 12 And I returned to see the voice that spoke to me. καὶ ἐπιστρέψας εἶδον ἑπτὰ λυχνίας χρυσᾶς, And when thou returnest, I saw seven golden lamps,

**13** καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἑπτὰ λυχνιῶν ὅμοιον υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου, ἐνδεδυμένον ποδήρη, καὶ περιεζωσμένον πρὸς τοῖς μαστοῖς ζώνην χρυσῆν. 13 And in the midst of the seven lamps, a likeness of a man clothed with a cloak, and girded about the breasts with a girdle of gold.

**14** ἡ δὲ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ τρίχες λευκαὶ ὡσεὶ ἔριον λευκόν, ὡς χιών· καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ὡς φλὸξ πυρός· 14 And his head and his hairs were white, and his hair was white as snow, and his eyes as a flame of fire.

**15** καὶ οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ ὅμοιοι χαλκολιβάνῳ, ὡς ἐν καμίνῳ πεπυρωμένοι· καὶ ἡ φωνὴ αὐτοῦ ὡς φωνὴ ὑδάτων πολλῶν. 15 And his feet were like unto brass, as if they had been hewn in a furnace: and his voice as the voice of many waters.

**16** καὶ ἔχων ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ χειρὶ ἀστέρας ἑπτά· καὶ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ ῥομφαία δίστομος ὀξεῖα ἐκπορευομένη καὶ ἡ ὄψις αὐτοῦ, ὡς ὁ ἥλιος φαίνει ἐν τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ. 16 And having in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth a sharp sword with a sharp sword, and his vision as the sun shineth in his power.

**17** καὶ ὅτε εἶδον αὐτόν, ἔπεσα πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ὡς νεκρός, καὶ ἐπέθηκε τὴν δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ χεῖρα ἐπ̓ ἐμέ, λέγων μοι, Μὴ φοβοῦ· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος, 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead, and he stretched out his right hand upon me, saying to me, Fear not: I am the first and the last,

**18** καὶ ὁ ζῶν, καὶ ἐγενόμην νεκρός, καὶ ἰδού, ζῶν εἰμὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων, ἀμήν. 18 And he that liveth, and was born dead, and behold, I am alive for ever and ever, Amen. καὶ ἔχω τὰς κλεῖς τοῦ ᾅδου καὶ τοῦ θανάτου. And I have the stones of hell and of death.

**19** γράψον ἃ εἶδες, καὶ ἃ εἰσί, καὶ ἃ μέλλει γίνεσθαι μετὰ ταῦτα· 19 Write thou sawest, and art, and it shall come to pass after these things.

**20** τὸ μυστήριον τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀστέρων ὧν εἶδες ἐπὶ τῆς δεξιᾶς μου, καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ λυχνίας τὰς χρυσᾶς. 20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest on my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. οἱ ἑπτὰ ἀστέρες ἄγγελοι τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησιῶν εἰσί, καὶ αἱ ἑπτὰ λυχνίαι ἃς εἶδες ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαι εἰσί. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven stars are the seven churches.
