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,
yat prakāśitaṁ vākyam īśvaraḥ svadāsānāṁ nikaṭaṁ śīghramupasthāsyantīnāṁ ghaṭanānāṁ darśanārthaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭē samarpitavān tat sa svīyadūtaṁ prēṣya nijasēvakaṁ yōhanaṁ jñāpitavān|
2 who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
sa cēśvarasya vākyē khrīṣṭasya sākṣyē ca yadyad dr̥ṣṭavān tasya pramāṇaṁ dattavān|
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.
ētasya bhaviṣyadvaktr̥granthasya vākyānāṁ pāṭhakaḥ śrōtāraśca tanmadhyē likhitājñāgrāhiṇaśca dhanyā yataḥ sa kālaḥ sannikaṭaḥ|
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,
yōhan āśiyādēśasthāḥ sapta samitīḥ prati patraṁ likhati| yō varttamānō bhūtō bhaviṣyaṁśca yē ca saptātmānastasya siṁhāsanasya sammukhē tiṣṭhanti
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,
yaśca yīśukhrīṣṭō viśvastaḥ sākṣī mr̥tānāṁ madhyē prathamajātō bhūmaṇḍalastharājānām adhipatiśca bhavati, ētēbhyō 'nugrahaḥ śāntiśca yuṣmāsu varttatāṁ|
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)
yō 'smāsu prītavān svarudhirēṇāsmān svapāpēbhyaḥ prakṣālitavān tasya piturīśvarasya yājakān kr̥tvāsmān rājavargē niyuktavāṁśca tasmin mahimā parākramaścānantakālaṁ yāvad varttatāṁ| āmēn| (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.
paśyata sa mēghairāgacchati tēnaikaikasya cakṣustaṁ drakṣyati yē ca taṁ viddhavantastē 'pi taṁ vilōkiṣyantē tasya kr̥tē pr̥thivīsthāḥ sarvvē vaṁśā vilapiṣyanti| satyam āmēn|
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty.
varttamānō bhūtō bhaviṣyaṁśca yaḥ sarvvaśaktimān prabhuḥ paramēśvaraḥ sa gadati, ahamēva kaḥ kṣaścārthata ādirantaśca|
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.
yuṣmākaṁ bhrātā yīśukhrīṣṭasya klēśarājyatitikṣāṇāṁ sahabhāgī cāhaṁ yōhan īśvarasya vākyahētō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya sākṣyahētōśca pātmanāmaka upadvīpa āsaṁ|
10 On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
tatra prabhō rdinē ātmanāviṣṭō 'haṁ svapaścāt tūrīdhvanivat mahāravam aśrauṣaṁ,
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.”
tēnōktam, ahaṁ kaḥ kṣaścārthata ādirantaśca| tvaṁ yad drakṣyasi tad granthē likhitvāśiyādēśasthānāṁ sapta samitīnāṁ samīpam iphiṣaṁ smurṇāṁ thuyātīrāṁ sārddiṁ philādilphiyāṁ lāyadīkēyāñca prēṣaya|
12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
tatō mayā sambhāṣamāṇasya kasya ravaḥ śrūyatē taddarśanārthaṁ mukhaṁ parāvarttitaṁ tat parāvartya svarṇamayāḥ sapta dīpavr̥kṣā dr̥ṣṭāḥ|
13 and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest.
tēṣāṁ sapta dīpavr̥kṣāṇāṁ madhyē dīrghaparicchadaparihitaḥ suvarṇaśr̥ṅkhalēna vēṣṭitavakṣaśca manuṣyaputrākr̥tirēkō janastiṣṭhati,
14 The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a blazing fire.
tasya śiraḥ kēśaśca śvētamēṣalōmānīva himavat śrētau lōcanē vahniśikhāsamē
15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters.
caraṇau vahnikuṇḍētāpitasupittalasadr̥śau ravaśca bahutōyānāṁ ravatulyaḥ|
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.
tasya dakṣiṇahastē sapta tārā vidyantē vaktrācca tīkṣṇō dvidhāraḥ khaṅgō nirgacchati mukhamaṇḍalañca svatējasā dēdīpyamānasya sūryyasya sadr̥śaṁ|
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,
taṁ dr̥ṣṭvāhaṁ mr̥takalpastaccaraṇē patitastataḥ svadakṣiṇakaraṁ mayi nidhāya tēnōktam mā bhaiṣīḥ; aham ādirantaśca|
19 Therefore write down the things you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that will happen after this.
atō yad bhavati yaccētaḥ paraṁ bhaviṣyati tvayā dr̥ṣṭaṁ tat sarvvaṁ likhyatāṁ|
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.
mama dakṣiṇahastē sthitā yāḥ sapta tārā yē ca svarṇamayāḥ sapta dīpavr̥kṣāstvayā dr̥ṣṭāstattātparyyamidaṁ tāḥ sapta tārāḥ sapta samitīnāṁ dūtāḥ suvarṇamayāḥ sapta dīpavr̥kṣāśca sapta samitayaḥ santi|
