Zjevení Janovo 1
1 Zjevení Ježíše Krista, kteréž dal jemu Bůh, aby ukázal služebníkům svým, které věci měly by se díti brzo, on pak zjevil, poslav je skrze anděla svého, služebníku svému Janovi,
[This book tells the message] that God revealed to Jesus Christ. God revealed it to him in order that he might reveal to his servants the [things/events] that must happen soon. Jesus communicated [this message] to [me], his servant John, by sending his angel to me.
2 Kterýž osvědčil slovo Boží a svědectví Jezukristovo, a cožkoli viděl.
[As I write it, I], John, am truthfully reporting everything that I saw [and heard], the message from God that Jesus Christ [truthfully reported to me].
3 Blahoslavený, kdož čte, i ti, kteříž slyší slova proroctví tohoto a ostříhají toho, což napsáno jest v něm; nebo čas blízko jest.
[God is] pleased with those who read [this book to the congregations], and he will be pleased with those who listen carefully to it and obey what [he has commanded in this prophetic message that I] am writing. [So read this message to the congregations, listen carefully to it, and obey it], because [these things that Jesus has revealed] will happen soon.
4 Jan sedmi církvím, kteréž jsou v Azii: Milost vám a pokoj od toho, Jenž jest, a Kterýž byl, a Kterýž přijíti má, a od sedmi Duchů, kteříž před obličejem trůnu jeho jsou,
[I], John, am [writing this] to [you believers in] the seven congregations [that are located] in Asia [province]. [I pray that God the Father, God’s Spirit, and Jesus Christ] be kind to (OR, bless) you and cause you to have [inner] peace. [God the Father is] the one who exists, who has always existed, and who will always exist. The Spirit [of God, who] is in front of God’s throne, has [all kinds of power] (OR, The Spirit of God [is symbolized] by seven spirits who are in front of God’s throne).
5 A od Ježíše Krista, jenž jest svědek věrný, ten prvorozený z mrtvých, a kníže králů země, kterýžto zamiloval nás a umyl nás od hříchů našich krví svou,
Jesus Christ is the one who has faithfully told [people about God]. He is the first one (whom God has raised from the dead/who became alive again after being dead), in order [to show that God will raise us who trust in Jesus]. Jesus is the one who rules the kings of the earth. He is the one who loves us. He is the one who has erased the record our sins. He did that by shedding his blood [when he died on the cross].
6 A učinil nás krále a kněží Bohu a Otci svému, jemužto buď sláva a moc na věky věků. Amen. (aiōn g165)
He is [the one who] has caused us to become people whose lives God rules, and he has made us to be priests [who serve] God his Father. [As a result of this, we acknowledge that] Jesus Christ is eternally divine and eternally powerful. (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
7 Aj, béře se s oblaky, a uzříť jej všeliké oko, i ti, kteříž ho bodli; a budou plakati pro něj všecka pokolení země, jistě, Amen.
Listen carefully! Christ will surely come in the midst of the clouds [in order that he may judge the rebellious people of earth], and everyone [SYN] will see him [come]. Even those who [are responsible for] piercing [and killing] him [MTY] [will see him come. People from] all people-groups on earth will mourn because he [will punish them]. (Amen!/May it be so.)
8 Jáť jsem Alfa i Omega, počátek i konec, praví Pán, Kterýž jest, a Kterýž byl, a Kterýž přijíti má, ten všemohoucí.
The Lord God declares, “I am the one who created [everything], and I am the [one who will cause everything to] end [MET].” He is the one who exists, who has always existed, and who will always exist. He is the Almighty One.
9 Já Jan, kterýž jsem i bratr váš, i spoluúčastník v soužení, i v království, i v trpělivosti Ježíše Krista, byl jsem na ostrově, kterýž slove Patmos, pro slovo Boží a svědectví Ježíše Krista.
I, John, your fellow believer, am suffering as you [are] because of our letting Jesus rule [our lives]. We are steadfastly enduring [trials] because of our relationship with him. I was punished by being sent/exiled to Patmos island because [of my proclaiming] God’s message and telling [people about] Jesus.
10 A byl jsem u vytržení ducha v den Páně, i uslyšel jsem za sebou hlas veliký jako trouby,
[God’s] Spirit took control of me on one of the days [that we believers met to worship] the Lord.
11 An mi dí: Já jsem Alfa i Omega, ten první i poslední, a řekl: Co vidíš, piš do knihy, a pošli sborům, kteříž jsou v Azii, do Efezu, a do Smyrny, a do Pergamu, a do Tyatiru, a do Sardy, a do Filadelfie, i do Laodicie.
[At that time], I heard behind me someone [speaking to me as loudly and as clearly] [SIM] as a trumpet. He was saying [to me], “Write on a scroll what you see, and send it to seven congregations. Send it to [the congregations] in Ephesus [city], in Smyrna [city], in Pergamum [city], in Thyatira [city], in Sardis [city], in Philadelphia [city], and in Laodicea [city].”
12 I obrátil jsem se, abych viděl ten hlas, kterýž mluvil se mnou, a obrátiv se, uzřel jsem sedm svícnů zlatých,
[In this vision] I turned in order that I might see who had spoken to me [SYN]. When I turned,
13 A uprostřed sedmi svícnů podobného Synu člověka, oblečeného v dlouhé roucho a přepásaného na prsech pasem zlatým.
I saw seven golden lampstands. In the midst of the lampstands there was [someone] who looked like he came from heaven. He wore a robe that reached to his feet, and he wore a gold band around his chest.
14 Hlava pak jeho a vlasové byli bílí, jako bílá vlna, jako sníh, a oči jeho jako plamen ohně.
The hair on his head was white like white wool [or] like snow. His eyes were [shining brightly] [SIM], like a flame of fire.
15 Nohy pak jeho podobné mosazi, jako v peci hořící; a hlas jeho jako hlas vod mnohých.
His feet [looked] like brass that glows [as it is being] purified {as [people] purify it} in a furnace. [When he spoke], his voice [sounded] like the sound [made by] a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide river of rushing water).
16 A měl v pravé ruce své sedm hvězd, a z úst jeho meč s obou stran ostrý vycházel; a tvář jeho jako slunce, když jasně svítí.
In his right hand he held seven stars. A sword that had two sharp edges extended from his mouth. His face [shone as bright] as the sun shines [at midday] [MTY].
17 A jakž jsem jej uzřel, padl jsem k nohám jeho, jako mrtvý. I položil ruku svou pravou na mne, řka ke mně: Neboj se. Já jsem ten první i poslední,
When I saw him, I fell down at his feet [and was unable to move or speak] [SIM], as though [I were] dead. But he put his right hand on me and said to me, “Don’t be afraid! I am the one who created [all things] and the [one who will cause all things to] end.
19 Napiš ty věci, kteréž jsi viděl, a kteréž jsou, a kteréž se mají díti potom.
So write the [vision] that you are seeing. Write about the [conditions] that exist now, and the [events] that are about to happen next.
20 Tajemství sedmi hvězd, kteréž jsi viděl v pravici mé, a sedm svícnů zlatých, jest toto: Sedm hvězd jsou andělé sedmi církví; a sedm svícnů, kteréžs viděl, jest těch sedm církví.
The meaning of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and the seven golden lampstands [that you saw is this]: The seven stars [in my hand represent the leaders, who are like] angels, [who watch over] the seven congregations, and the [seven] lampstands [represent] the seven congregations.”
