< Revelation 1 >

1 A revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants the things which must shortly be; and sending by his messenger, he signified them to his servant John,
THE Revelation of Jeshu Meshiha, which Aloha gave unto him, to show unto his servants the things which must be done speedily; and which he made known, sending by his angel unto his servant Juhanon,
2 who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, whatever he saw.
who attested the word of Aloha and the testimony of Jeshu Meshiha, and all which he beheld.
3 Happy is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; for the time is at hand.
Blessed is he who readeth, and they who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those which are written therein; for the time hath approached.
4 John, to the seven congregation which are in Asia; favor and peace be with you, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before his throne;
Juhanon to the seven churches which are in Asia: grace to you and peace from him who is, and who was, and who cometh; from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who has loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
and from Jeshu Meshiha who is the faithful Witness, the First-born of the dead, and Head of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and released us from our sins by his blood,
6 and has made us kings and priests to his God and Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
and hath made us a priestly kingdom unto Aloha and his Father; to whom be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he is coming in the clouds; and every eye shall see him, even they who pierced him: and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn because of him. Yes: so let it be.
Behold, he cometh with clouds, and all eyes shall see him, and they also who transfixed him; and for him shall mourn all the tribes of the earth. Yes, Amen!
8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
I am Olaph and Thau, saith Aloha the Lord, who is, and who was, and who cometh, the Omnipotent.
9 I, John, who am also your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, for the sake of the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
I, Juhanon your brother, and your fellow-sharer in the affliction, and in the patience, which are in Jeshu Meshiha, was in the island which is called Pathamon, for the word of Aloha and for the testimony of Jeshu Meshiha.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard a great voice behind me, as of a trumpet,
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day; and I heard behind me a great voice as a trumpet, saying,
11 saying, What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven congregations; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
What thou seest, write in a book; and send to the seven churches, at Ephesos, and at Smurna, and at Pergamos, and at Thiatira, and at Sardis, and at Philidaphia, and at Laodikia.
12 And I turned to see the voice which spoke to me, and being turned, I saw seven golden lamps;
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me; and being turned, I saw seven candlesticks of gold.
13 and, in the midst of the seven lamps, one like a Son of Man, clothed in a long robe, and girded about the breasts with a golden girdle.
And in the midst of the candlesticks (one) who was like the Son of man, clothed to the foot, and girded about his paps with a circlet of gold.
14 His head, even his hairs, were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
But his head and hair were white as wool, white as snow; and his eyes (were) as a flame of fire,
15 and his feet like fine brass, when glowing in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;
and his feet were like refined brass, which flamed as in a furnace, and his voice as the voice of many waters.
16 and he had in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth there went a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as the sun, when he shines in his strength.
And he had in his right hand seven stars; and from his mouth a sharp sword of two edges went forth; and his countenance was as the sun shining in his strength.
17 And when I saw him, I fell down at his feet, as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, and said, Fear not; I am the First and the Last;
And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid upon me his right hand, saying, Fear not: I am the First and the Last;
18 I am he who lives and was dead; and behold, I am living for ever and ever; and I have the keys of the unseen world, and of death. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
and who liveth and who have been dead; and, behold, I am alive for ever and ever. Amen! And I have the keys of death and of Sheul. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
19 Write the things which you see, even those which are, and the things which shall be hereafter.
Write, then, what thou hast seen; and those which are, and those which are to be after them.
20 As to the hidden meaning of the seven stars, which you see in my right hand, and of the seven lamps of gold: the seven stars are messengers of the seven congregations; and the seven lamps which you see, are seven congregations.
(This is) the mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and of the seven candlesticks of gold: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.
