< Revelation 1 >

1 This is the Revelation of Jesus (the) Messiah, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, John,
ܓܠܝܢܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܡܚܘܝܘ ܠܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܡܐ ܕܝܗܝܒ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܒܥܓܠ ܘܫܘܕܥ ܟܕ ܫܠܚ ܒܝܕ ܡܠܐܟܗ ܠܥܒܕܗ ܝܘܚܢܢ
2 who testified to God's word, and of the testimony of Jesus (the) Messiah, about everything that he saw.
ܗܘ ܕܐܤܗܕ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܤܗܕܘܬܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܚܙܐ
3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is near.
ܛܘܒܘܗܝ ܠܡܢ ܕܩܪܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܕܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܢܛܪܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܬܝܒܢ ܒܗ ܙܒܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܩܪܒ
4 John, to the seven churches that 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 who are before his throne;
ܝܘܚܢܢ ܠܫܒܥ ܥܕܬܐ ܕܒܐܤܝܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܘܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܫܒܥ ܪܘܚܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܕܡ ܟܘܪܤܝܗ
5 and from Jesus (the) Messiah, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and freed us from our sins by his blood;
ܘܡܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܤܗܕܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܒܘܟܪܐ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܘܪܫܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܚܒ ܠܢ ܘܫܪܐ ܠܢ ܡܢ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܒܕܡܗ
6 and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ܘܥܒܕ ܠܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܟܗܢܝܬܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܗ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܘܐܘܚܕܢܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ (aiōn g165)
7 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
ܗܐ ܐܬܐ ܥܡ ܥܢܢܐ ܘܢܚܙܝܢܝܗܝ ܟܠ ܥܝܢܐ ܘܐܦ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܩܪܘܗܝ ܘܢܪܩܕܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܠ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܐܝܢ ܘܐܡܝܢ
8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
ܐܢܐ ܐܠܦ ܘܬܘ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܘܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܚܝܕ ܟܠ
9 I John, your brother and fellow-partner with you in persecution, Kingdom, and patient endurance in Jesus, was on the island that is called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
ܐܢܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܗܘ ܐܚܘܟܘܢ ܘܒܪ ܫܘܬܦܟܘܢ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܘܒܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܓܙܪܬܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܦܛܡܘܤ ܡܛܠ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܛܠ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
ܘܗܘܝܬ ܒܪܘܚ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܚܕܒܫܒܐ ܘܫܡܥܬ ܡܢ ܒܤܬܪܝ ܩܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܐܝܟ ܫܝܦܘܪܐ
11 saying, "What you see, write on a scroll and send to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
ܕܐܡܪ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܟܬܘܒ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܘܫܕܪ ܠܫܒܥ ܥܕܬܐ ܠܐܦܤܘܤ ܘܠܙܡܘܪܢܐ ܘܠܦܪܓܡܘܤ ܘܠܬܐܘܛܝܪܐ ܘܠܤܪܕܝܤ ܘܠܦܝܠܕܠܦܝܐ ܘܠܠܕܝܩܝܐ
12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands.
ܘܗܦܟܬ ܠܡܕܥ ܩܠܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܡܝ ܘܟܕ ܥܛܦܬ ܚܙܝܬ ܫܒܥ ܡܢܪܢ ܕܕܗܒܐ
13 And among the lampstands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
ܘܒܡܨܥܬܐ ܕܡܢܪܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܒܪܢܫܐ ܘܠܒܝܫ ܐܦܘܕܐ ܘܐܤܝܪ ܨܝܕ ܬܕܘܗܝ ܐܤܪܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ
14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
ܪܫܗ ܕܝܢ ܘܤܥܪܗ ܚܘܪ ܐܝܟ ܥܡܪܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܬܠܓܐ ܘܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܫܠܗܒܝܬܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ
15 His feet were like burnished bronze, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
ܘܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܢܚܫܐ ܠܒܢܝܐ ܕܡܚܡ ܒܐܬܘܢܐ ܘܩܠܗ ܐܝܟ ܩܠܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ
16 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܟܘܟܒܝܢ ܘܡܢ ܦܘܡܗ ܢܦܩܐ ܪܘܡܚܐ ܚܪܝܦܬܐ ܘܚܙܬܗ ܐܝܟ ܫܡܫܐ ܡܚܘܝܐ ܒܚܝܠܗ
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last,
ܘܟܕ ܚܙܝܬܗ ܢܦܠܬ ܥܠ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܤܡ ܥܠܝ ܐܝܕܗ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܘܐܚܪܝܐ
18 and the Living one. I was dead, but look, I am alive forevermore. I have the keys of Death and of hell. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
ܘܕܚܝ ܘܕܡܝܬܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܘܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܩܠܝܕܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܘܕܫܝܘܠ (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
19 Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter;
ܟܬܘܒ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܐ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܘܥܬܝܕܢ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ
20 the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches. The seven lampstands are seven churches.
ܐܪܙܐ ܕܫܒܥܐ ܟܘܟܒܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܥܠ ܝܡܝܢܝ ܘܫܒܥ ܡܢܪܬܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܟܘܟܒܝܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܫܒܥ ܥܕܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܢܪܬܐ ܫܒܥ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܫܒܥ ܐܢܝܢ ܥܕܬܐ
