Revelation 1
1 A revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave to Him to show to His servants what things must quickly come to pass; and He signified [it], having sent through His messenger to His servant John,
yat prakāśitaṁ vākyam īśvaraḥ svadāsānāṁ nikaṭaṁ śīghramupasthāsyantīnāṁ ghaṭanānāṁ darśanārthaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭe samarpitavān tat sa svīyadūtaṁ preṣya nijasevakaṁ yohanaṁ jñāpitavān|
2 who testified [to] the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as he also saw.
sa ceśvarasya vākye khrīṣṭasya sākṣye ca yadyad dṛṣṭavān tasya pramāṇaṁ dattavān|
3 Blessed is he who is reading, and those hearing the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it, for the time is near!
etasya bhaviṣyadvaktṛgranthasya vākyānāṁ pāṭhakaḥ śrotāraśca tanmadhye likhitājñāgrāhiṇaśca dhanyā yataḥ sa kālaḥ sannikaṭaḥ|
4 John, to the seven assemblies that [are] in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits that are before His throne,
yohan āśiyādeśasthāḥ sapta samitīḥ prati patraṁ likhati| yo varttamāno bhūto bhaviṣyaṁśca ye ca saptātmānastasya siṁhāsanasya sammukhe tiṣṭhanti
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to Him loving us and having released us from our sins in His blood,
yaśca yīśukhrīṣṭo viśvastaḥ sākṣī mṛtānāṁ madhye prathamajāto bhūmaṇḍalastharājānām adhipatiśca bhavati, etebhyo 'nugrahaḥ śāntiśca yuṣmāsu varttatāṁ|
6 [He] has also made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him—the glory and the power through the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
yo 'smāsu prītavān svarudhireṇāsmān svapāpebhyaḥ prakṣālitavān tasya piturīśvarasya yājakān kṛtvāsmān rājavarge niyuktavāṁśca tasmin mahimā parākramaścānantakālaṁ yāvad varttatāṁ| āmen| (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all the tribes of the land will wail because of Him. Yes! Amen!
paśyata sa meghairāgacchati tenaikaikasya cakṣustaṁ drakṣyati ye ca taṁ viddhavantaste 'pi taṁ vilokiṣyante tasya kṛte pṛthivīsthāḥ sarvve vaṁśā vilapiṣyanti| satyam āmen|
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, says the LORD, who is, and who was, and who is coming—the Almighty.”
varttamāno bhūto bhaviṣyaṁśca yaḥ sarvvaśaktimān prabhuḥ parameśvaraḥ sa gadati, ahameva kaḥ kṣaścārthata ādirantaśca|
9 I, John, who [am] also your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the kingdom and endurance of Jesus Christ, was in the island that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ;
yuṣmākaṁ bhrātā yīśukhrīṣṭasya kleśarājyatitikṣāṇāṁ sahabhāgī cāhaṁ yohan īśvarasya vākyaheto ryīśukhrīṣṭasya sākṣyahetośca pātmanāmaka upadvīpa āsaṁ|
10 I was in the Spirit on the LORD’s Day, and I heard a great voice behind me, as of a trumpet, saying,
tatra prabho rdine ātmanāviṣṭo 'haṁ svapaścāt tūrīdhvanivat mahāravam aśrauṣaṁ,
11 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “Write what you see in a scroll, and send [it] to the seven assemblies that [are] in Asia: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
tenoktam, ahaṁ kaḥ kṣaścārthata ādirantaśca| tvaṁ yad drakṣyasi tad granthe likhitvāśiyādeśasthānāṁ sapta samitīnāṁ samīpam iphiṣaṁ smurṇāṁ thuyātīrāṁ sārddiṁ philādilphiyāṁ lāyadīkeyāñca preṣaya|
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me, and having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
tato mayā sambhāṣamāṇasya kasya ravaḥ śrūyate taddarśanārthaṁ mukhaṁ parāvarttitaṁ tat parāvartya svarṇamayāḥ sapta dīpavṛkṣā dṛṣṭāḥ|
13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands, [One] like a Son of Man, clothed to the foot, and having been girded around at the breasts with a golden girdle,
teṣāṁ sapta dīpavṛkṣāṇāṁ madhye dīrghaparicchadaparihitaḥ suvarṇaśṛṅkhalena veṣṭitavakṣaśca manuṣyaputrākṛtireko janastiṣṭhati,
14 and His head and hairs [were] white, as if white wool—as snow, and His eyes as a flame of fire;
tasya śiraḥ keśaśca śvetameṣalomānīva himavat śretau locane vahniśikhāsame
15 and His feet like to frankincense-colored brass, as having been fired in a furnace, and His voice as a sound of many waters;
caraṇau vahnikuṇḍetāpitasupittalasadṛśau ravaśca bahutoyānāṁ ravatulyaḥ|
16 and having seven stars in His right hand, and out of His mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and His countenance—as the sun shining in its might.
tasya dakṣiṇahaste sapta tārā vidyante vaktrācca tīkṣṇo dvidhāraḥ khaṅgo nirgacchati mukhamaṇḍalañca svatejasā dedīpyamānasya sūryyasya sadṛśaṁ|
17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead, and He placed His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last,
taṁ dṛṣṭvāhaṁ mṛtakalpastaccaraṇe patitastataḥ svadakṣiṇakaraṁ mayi nidhāya tenoktam mā bhaiṣīḥ; aham ādirantaśca|
19 Write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to come after these things;
ato yad bhavati yaccetaḥ paraṁ bhaviṣyati tvayā dṛṣṭaṁ tat sarvvaṁ likhyatāṁ|
20 the secret of the seven stars that you have seen on My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lampstands that you have seen are seven assemblies.”
mama dakṣiṇahaste sthitā yāḥ sapta tārā ye ca svarṇamayāḥ sapta dīpavṛkṣāstvayā dṛṣṭāstattātparyyamidaṁ tāḥ sapta tārāḥ sapta samitīnāṁ dūtāḥ suvarṇamayāḥ sapta dīpavṛkṣāśca sapta samitayaḥ santi|
