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 to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, John,
2 koji posvjedoči za riječ Božju i za svjedočanstvo Isusa Krista - za sve što vidje.
who testified to God's word, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.
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 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 near.

John, to the seven churches that 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 who are 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 of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and freed 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)
and he made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, 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 who was and who 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 fellow-partner with you in persecution, kingdom, and patient endurance in Jesus, was on the island that is called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
10 Zanijeh se u duhu u dan Gospodnji i začuh iza sebe jak glas, kao glas trublje.
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, 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, "What you see, write on a scroll and send to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
12 Okrenuh se da vidim glas koji govoraše sa mnom. I okrenuvši se, vidjeh sedam zlatnih svijećnjaka,
I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. 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 a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
14 glava mu i vlasi bijele poput bijele vune, poput snijega, a oči mu kao plamen ognjeni;
His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
15 noge mu nalik mjedi uglađenoj, kao u peći užarenoj, a glas mu kao šum voda mnogih;
His feet were like burnished bronze, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice 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 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.
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. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "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.
Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter;
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.”
the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches. The seven lampstands are seven churches.
