Otkrivenje 1
1 Otkrivenje Isusa Krista: njemu ga dade Bog da on pokaže slugama svojim ono što se ima dogoditi ubrzo. I on to označi poslavši svog anđela sluzi svomu Ivanu
This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John,
2 koji posvjedoči za riječ Božju i za svjedočanstvo Isusa Krista - za sve što vidje.
who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
3 Blago onomu koji čita i onima što slušaju riječi ovog proroštva te čuvaju što je u njem napisano. Jer vrijeme je blizu!
Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and obey what is written in it, because the time is near.
4 Ivan sedmerim crkvama u Aziji. Milost vam i mir od Onoga koji jest i koji bijaše i koji dolazi i od sedam duhova što su pred Prijestoljem njegovim
John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him who is and was and is to come, and from the seven Spirits before His throne,
5 i od Isusa Krista, Svjedoka vjernoga, Prvorođenca od mrtvih, Vladara nad kraljevima zemaljskim. Njemu koji nas ljubi, koji nas krvlju svojom otkupi od naših grijeha
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood,
6 te nas učini kraljevstvom, svećenicima Bogu i Ocu svojemu: Njemu slava i vlast u vijeke vjekova! Amen! (aiōn g165)
who has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Gle, dolazi s oblacima i gledat će ga svako oko, svi koji su ga proboli, i naricat će nad njim sva plemena zemaljska. Da! Amen.
Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him—even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.
8 Ja sam Alfa i Omega, govori Gospodin Bog - Onaj koji jest i koji bijaše i koji dolazi, Svevladar.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty.
9 Ja, Ivan, brat vaš i suzajedničar u nevolji, kraljevstvu i postojanosti, u Isusu: bijah na otoku zvanu Patmos radi riječi Božje i svjedočanstva Isusova.
I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance that are in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and my testimony about Jesus.
10 Zanijeh se u duhu u dan Gospodnji i začuh iza sebe jak glas, kao glas trublje.
On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
11 Govoraše: “Što vidiš, napiši u knjigu i pošalji sedmerim crkvama: U Efez, Smirnu, Pergam, Tijatiru, Sard, Filadelfiju, Laodiceju.”
saying, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12 Okrenuh se da vidim glas koji govoraše sa mnom. I okrenuvši se, vidjeh sedam zlatnih svijećnjaka,
Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 a posred svijećnjaka netko kao Sin Čovječji, odjeven u dugu haljinu, oko prsiju opasan zlatnim pojasom;
and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest.
14 glava mu i vlasi bijele poput bijele vune, poput snijega, a oči mu kao plamen ognjeni;
The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a blazing fire.
15 noge mu nalik mjedi uglađenoj, kao u peći užarenoj, a glas mu kao šum voda mnogih;
His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters.
16 u desnici mu sedam zvijezda, iz usta mu izlazi mač dvosječan, oštar, a lice mu kao kad sunce sjaji u svoj svojoj snazi.
He held in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
17 Kad ga vidjeh, padoh mu k nogama kao mrtav. A on stavi na me desnicu govoreći: “Ne boj se! Ja sam Prvi i Posljednji,
When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He placed His right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,
19 Napiši dakle što si vidio: ono što jest i što se ima dogoditi poslije.
Therefore write down the things you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that will happen after this.
20 Glede tajne onih sedam zvijezda koje vidje u mojoj desnici i sedam zlatnih svijećnjaka: sedam zvijezda anđeli su sedam crkava, sedam svijećnjaka sedam je crkava.”
This is the mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
