< 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,
yat prakāśitaṁ vākyam īśvaraḥ svadāsānāṁ nikaṭaṁ śīghramupasthāsyantīnāṁ ghaṭanānāṁ darśanārthaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭē samarpitavān tat sa svīyadūtaṁ prēṣya nijasēvakaṁ yōhanaṁ jñāpitavān|
2 who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all things that he saw.
sa cēśvarasya vākyē khrīṣṭasya sākṣyē ca yadyad dr̥ṣṭavān tasya pramāṇaṁ dattavān|
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.
ētasya bhaviṣyadvaktr̥granthasya vākyānāṁ pāṭhakaḥ śrōtāraśca tanmadhyē likhitājñāgrāhiṇaśca dhanyā yataḥ sa kālaḥ sannikaṭaḥ|
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;
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 prince of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in his blood,
yaśca yīśukhrīṣṭō viśvastaḥ sākṣī mr̥tānāṁ madhyē prathamajātō bhūmaṇḍalastharājānām adhipatiśca bhavati, ētēbhyō 'nugrahaḥ śāntiśca yuṣmāsu varttatāṁ|
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 )
yō 'smāsu prītavān svarudhirēṇāsmān svapāpēbhyaḥ prakṣālitavān tasya piturīśvarasya yājakān kr̥tvāsmān rājavargē niyuktavāṁśca tasmin mahimā parākramaścānantakālaṁ yāvad varttatāṁ| āmēn| (aiōn )
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.
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, saith [the] Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
varttamānō bhūtō bhaviṣyaṁśca yaḥ sarvvaśaktimān prabhuḥ paramēśvaraḥ sa gadati, ahamēva kaḥ kṣaścārthata ādirantaśca|
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.
yuṣmākaṁ bhrātā yīśukhrīṣṭasya klēśarājyatitikṣāṇāṁ sahabhāgī cāhaṁ yōhan īśvarasya vākyahētō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya sākṣyahētōśca pātmanāmaka upadvīpa āsaṁ|
10 I became in [the] Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,
tatra prabhō rdinē ātmanāviṣṭō 'haṁ svapaścāt tūrīdhvanivat mahāravam aśrauṣaṁ,
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.
tēnōktam, ahaṁ kaḥ kṣaścārthata ādirantaśca| tvaṁ yad drakṣyasi tad granthē likhitvāśiyādēśasthānāṁ sapta samitīnāṁ samīpam iphiṣaṁ smurṇāṁ thuyātīrāṁ sārddiṁ philādilphiyāṁ lāyadīkēyāñca prēṣaya|
12 And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
tatō mayā sambhāṣamāṇasya kasya ravaḥ śrūyatē taddarśanārthaṁ mukhaṁ parāvarttitaṁ tat parāvartya svarṇamayāḥ sapta dīpavr̥kṣā dr̥ṣṭāḥ|
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:
tēṣāṁ sapta dīpavr̥kṣāṇāṁ madhyē dīrghaparicchadaparihitaḥ suvarṇaśr̥ṅkhalēna vēṣṭitavakṣaśca manuṣyaputrākr̥tirēkō janastiṣṭhati,
14 his head and hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;
tasya śiraḥ kēśaśca śvētamēṣalōmānīva himavat śrētau lōcanē vahniśikhāsamē
15 and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;
caraṇau vahnikuṇḍētāpitasupittalasadr̥śau ravaśca bahutōyānāṁ ravatulyaḥ|
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.
tasya dakṣiṇahastē sapta tārā vidyantē vaktrācca tīkṣṇō dvidhāraḥ khaṅgō nirgacchati mukhamaṇḍalañca svatējasā dēdīpyamānasya sūryyasya sadr̥śaṁ|
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,
taṁ dr̥ṣṭvāhaṁ mr̥takalpastaccaraṇē patitastataḥ svadakṣiṇakaraṁ mayi nidhāya tēnōktam mā bhaiṣīḥ; aham ādirantaśca|
18 and the living one: and I became dead, and behold, I am living to the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades. (aiōn , Hadēs )
aham amarastathāpi mr̥tavān kintu paśyāham anantakālaṁ yāvat jīvāmi| āmēn| mr̥tyōḥ paralōkasya ca kuñjikā mama hastagatāḥ| (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Write therefore what thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to be after these.
atō yad bhavati yaccētaḥ paraṁ bhaviṣyati tvayā dr̥ṣṭaṁ tat sarvvaṁ likhyatāṁ|
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.
mama dakṣiṇahastē sthitā yāḥ sapta tārā yē ca svarṇamayāḥ sapta dīpavr̥kṣāstvayā dr̥ṣṭāstattātparyyamidaṁ tāḥ sapta tārāḥ sapta samitīnāṁ dūtāḥ suvarṇamayāḥ sapta dīpavr̥kṣāśca sapta samitayaḥ santi|
