Revelation 1
1 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,
Apocalypsis Iesu Christi, quam dedit illi Deus palam facere servis suis, quae oportet fieri cito: et significavit, mittens per Angelum suum servo suo Ioanni,
2 who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
qui testimonium perhibuit verbo Dei, et testimonium Iesu Christi, quaecumque vidit.
3 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.
Beatus, qui legit, et audit verba prophetiae huius: et servat ea, quae in ea scripta sunt: tempus enim prope est.
4 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,
Ioannes septem Ecclesiis, quae sunt in Asia. Gratia vobis, et pax ab eo, qui est, et qui erat, et qui venturus est: et a septem spiritibus, qui in conspectu throni eius sunt:
5 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,
et a Iesu Christo, qui est testis fidelis, primogenitus mortuorum, et princeps regum terrae, qui dilexit nos, et lavit nos a peccatis nostris in sanguine suo,
6 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)
et fecit nos regnum, et sacerdotes Deo et Patri suo: ipsi gloria, et imperium in saecula saeculorum: Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 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.
Ecce venit cum nubibus, et videbit eum omnis oculus, et qui eum pupugerunt. Et plangent se super eum omnes tribus terrae: Etiam: Amen.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty.
Ego sum alpha, et omega, principium, et finis, dicit Dominus Deus: qui est, et qui erat, et qui venturus est, omnipotens.
9 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.
Ego Ioannes frater vester, et particeps in tribulatione, et regno et patientia in Christo Iesu: fui in insula, quae appellatur Patmos propter verbum Dei, et testimonium Iesu:
10 On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
Fui in spiritu in Dominica die, et audivi post me vocem magnam tamquam tubae,
11 saying, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
dicentis: Quod vides, scribe in libro: et mitte septem Ecclesiis, quae sunt in Asia, Epheso, et Smyrnae, et Pergamo, et Thyatirae, et Sardis, et Philadelphiae, et Laodiciae:
12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
Et conversus sum ut viderem vocem, quae loquebatur mecum: Et conversus vidi septem candelabra aurea:
13 and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest.
et in medio septem candelabrorum aureorum similem filio hominis, vestitum podere, et praecinctum ad mamillas zona aurea:
14 The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a blazing fire.
caput autem eius, et capilli erant candidi tamquam lana alba, et tamquam nix, et oculi eius tamquam flamma ignis,
15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters.
et pedes eius similes aurichalco, sicut in camino ardenti, et vox illius tamquam vox aquarum multarum:
16 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.
et habebat in dextera sua stellas septem: et de ore eius gladius utraque parte acutus exibat: et facies eius sicut sol lucet in virtute sua.
17 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,
Et cum vidissem eum, cecidi ad pedes eius tamquam mortuus. Et posuit dexteram suam super me, dicens: Noli timere: ego sum primus, et novissimus,
19 Therefore write down the things you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that will happen after this.
Scribe ergo quae vidisti, et quae sunt, et quae oportet fieri post haec.
20 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.
Sacramentum septem stellarum, quas vidisti in dextera mea, et septem candelabra aurea: septem stellae Angeli sunt septem Ecclesiarum: et candelabra septem, septem Ecclesiae sunt.
