Revelation 1
1 Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to shew to his bondmen what must shortly take place; and he signified [it], sending by his angel, to his bondman John,
这是上帝赐予耶稣基督的启示，是为了向他的仆人们展示即将发生的事情。上帝派天使向其仆人约翰
2 who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all things that he saw.
做出这一显示，约翰证实了他所看到的、关于上帝之道和耶稣基督见证的一切。
3 Blessed [is] he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written in it; for the time [is] near.
能读到这启示之人有福了， 还有那些听见这预言、专注于所写内容之人，都有福了！因为那个时间将至。
4 John to the seven assemblies which [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 which [are] before his throne;
这封信来自约翰，写给亚西亚的七个教会。愿那位过去、现在和未来都会到来的那一位，还有他宝座前的七灵，
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in his blood,
以及那值得信赖的见证人、从死亡中首次诞生的、人间众君王的统治者耶稣基督，赐予你们恩典和平安。至爱我们的耶稣，用自己的血把我们从我们的罪中释放出来，
6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father: to him [be] the glory and the might to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
又让我们成为他的国，作他父上帝的祭司。愿荣耀和权能都归给耶稣，直到永远。阿门。 (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen.
看，他在云朵围绕中来临，每个人都应看见他，包括那些杀死他的人。地上的所有人都因他而哭泣。但愿如此！阿门。
8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith [the] Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
那过去、现在和以后都会来的全能主上帝说：“我是始也是终，”
9 I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience, in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.
我是约翰，你们的兄弟，在耶稣中与你们共同痛苦，分享这个国，一起忍耐。为了分享上帝的道以及耶稣显化的真理，我被关在一个叫做拔摩的海岛上。
10 I became in [the] Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,
在一个主日， 我被灵注满，听见在我后边发出很大的声音，像是号角，
11 saying, What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
那声音告诉我：“把你所看到的写成书，寄给七个教会：以弗所、士每拿、别迦摩、推雅推拉、撒狄、非拉铁非和老底嘉。”
12 And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
我转过身，想去看看是谁；转过身，看见七个金灯台。
13 and in the midst of the [seven] lamps [one] like [the] Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle:
灯台中间好像有一个人，看起来像是人子，身上穿着直垂双脚的长袍，胸间束着金带。
14 his head and hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;
他的头发像白羊毛、双眼好似燃烧的火焰。
15 and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;
他的双脚好像在活炉中炼过的亮光铜，声音好似震耳欲聋的瀑布。
16 and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power.
他的右手拿着七颗星星，口中吐出双刃利剑，面孔发光，好似最亮的烈日。
17 And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,
我看到他便扑倒在他脚前，如死了一般。但他用右手按我并说：“不要怕！我是最初，我是最后，
19 Write therefore what thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to be after these.
所以，把你所看见、正在发生和未来将要发生的事情，都写下来。
20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou hast seen on my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. — The seven stars are angels of the seven assemblies; and the seven lamps are seven assemblies.
你看我右手的七星和七个金灯台, 它的含义就是：七星是四个教会的七位天使，七个灯台就是七个教会。”
