启示录 1
1 耶稣基督的启示，就是 神赐给他，叫他将必要快成的事指示他的众仆人。他就差遣使者晓谕他的仆人约翰。
Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to shew to his bondmen what must shortly take place; and he signified [it], sending by his angel, to his bondman John,
2 约翰便将 神的道和耶稣基督的见证，凡自己所看见的都证明出来。
who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all things that he saw.
3 念这书上预言的和那些听见又遵守其中所记载的，都是有福的，因为日期近了。
Blessed [is] he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written in it; for the time [is] near.
4 约翰写信给亚细亚的七个教会。但愿从那昔在、今在、以后永在的 神，和他宝座前的七灵，
John to the seven assemblies which [are] in Asia: Grace to you and peace from [him] who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits which [are] before his throne;
5 并那诚实作见证的、从死里首先复活、为世上君王元首的耶稣基督，有恩惠、平安归与你们！ 他爱我们，用自己的血使我们脱离罪恶，
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in his blood,
and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father: to him [be] the glory and the might to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 看哪，他驾云降临！ 众目要看见他， 连刺他的人也要看见他； 地上的万族都要因他哀哭。 这话是真实的。阿们！
Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen.
8 主 神说：“我是阿拉法，我是俄梅戛，是昔在、今在、以后永在的全能者。”
I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith [the] Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
9 我—约翰就是你们的弟兄，和你们在耶稣的患难、国度、忍耐里一同有分，为 神的道，并为给耶稣作的见证，曾在那名叫拔摩的海岛上。
I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience, in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.
10 当主日，我被圣灵感动，听见在我后面有大声音如吹号，说：
I became in [the] Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,
11 “你所看见的当写在书上，达与以弗所、士每拿、别迦摩、推雅推喇、撒狄、非拉铁非、老底嘉那七个教会。”
saying, What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
12 我转过身来，要看是谁发声与我说话；既转过来，就看见七个金灯台。
And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
13 灯台中间有一位好像人子，身穿长衣，直垂到脚，胸间束着金带。
and in the midst of the [seven] lamps [one] like [the] Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle:
14 他的头与发皆白，如白羊毛，如雪；眼目如同火焰；
his head and hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;
15 脚好像在炉中锻炼光明的铜；声音如同众水的声音。
and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;
16 他右手拿着七星，从他口中出来一把两刃的利剑；面貌如同烈日放光。
and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power.
17 我一看见，就仆倒在他脚前，像死了一样。他用右手按着我，说：“不要惧怕！我是首先的，我是末后的，
And when I saw 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,
19 所以你要把所看见的，和现在的事，并将来必成的事，都写出来。
Write therefore what thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to be after these.
20 论到你所看见、在我右手中的七星和七个金灯台的奥秘，那七星就是七个教会的使者，七灯台就是七个教会。”
The mystery of the seven stars which thou hast seen on my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. — The seven stars are angels of the seven assemblies; and the seven lamps are seven assemblies.
