[This book tells the message] that God revealed to Jesus Christ. God revealed it to him in order that he might reveal to his servants the [things/events] that must happen soon. Jesus communicated [this message] to [me], his servant John, by sending his angel to me.
2 which to testify the/this/who word the/this/who God and the/this/who testimony Jesus Christ just as/how much (and/both *k*) to perceive: see
[As I write it, I], John, am truthfully reporting everything that I saw [and heard], the message from God that Jesus Christ [truthfully reported to me].

[God is] pleased with those who read [this book to the congregations], and he will be pleased with those who listen carefully to it and obey what [he has commanded in this prophetic message that I] am writing. [So read this message to the congregations, listen carefully to it, and obey it], because [these things that Jesus has revealed] will happen soon.
4 John the/this/who seven assembly the/this/who in/on/among the/this/who Asia grace you and peace away from (the/this/who *K(O)*) the/this/who to be and the/this/who to be and the/this/who to come/go and away from the/this/who seven spirit/breath: spirit which (to be *k*) before the/this/who throne it/s/he
[I], John, am [writing this] to [you believers in] the seven congregations [that are located] in Asia [province]. [I pray that God the Father, God’s Spirit, and Jesus Christ] be kind to (OR, bless) you and cause you to have [inner] peace. [God the Father is] the one who exists, who has always existed, and who will always exist. The Spirit [of God, who] is in front of God’s throne, has [all kinds of power] (OR, The Spirit of God [is symbolized] by seven spirits who are in front of God’s throne).
5 and away from Jesus Christ the/this/who witness the/this/who faithful the/this/who firstborn (out from *k*) the/this/who dead and the/this/who ruler the/this/who king the/this/who earth: planet the/this/who (to love *N(k)O*) me and (to loose *N(K)O*) me (out from *N(k)O*) the/this/who sin me in/on/among the/this/who blood it/s/he
Jesus Christ is the one who has faithfully told [people about God]. He is the first one (whom God has raised from the dead/who became alive again after being dead), in order [to show that God will raise us who trust in Jesus]. Jesus is the one who rules the kings of the earth. He is the one who loves us. He is the one who has erased the record our sins. He did that by shedding his blood [when he died on the cross].
6 and to do/make: do me (kingdom *N(K)O*) (and *K*) priest the/this/who God and father it/s/he it/s/he the/this/who glory and the/this/who power toward the/this/who an age: eternity the/this/who an age: eternity amen (aiōn g165)
He is [the one who] has caused us to become people whose lives God rules, and he has made us to be priests [who serve] God his Father. [As a result of this, we acknowledge that] Jesus Christ is eternally divine and eternally powerful. (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
7 look! to come/go with/after the/this/who cloud and to appear it/s/he all eye and who/which it/s/he to pierce and to cut/mourn upon/to/against it/s/he all the/this/who tribe the/this/who earth: planet yes amen
Listen carefully! Christ will surely come in the midst of the clouds [in order that he may judge the rebellious people of earth], and everyone [SYN] will see him [come]. Even those who [are responsible for] piercing [and killing] him [MTY] [will see him come. People from] all people-groups on earth will mourn because he [will punish them]. (Amen!/May it be so.)
8 I/we to be the/this/who Alpha and the/this/who Omega (beginning and goal/tax *K*) to say (the/this/who *k*) lord: God (the/this/who God *NO*) the/this/who to be and the/this/who to be and the/this/who to come/go the/this/who almighty
The Lord God declares, “I am the one who created [everything], and I am the [one who will cause everything to] end [MET].” He is the one who exists, who has always existed, and who will always exist. He is the Almighty One.
9 I/we John the/this/who (and *k*) brother you and (sharer *NK(o)*) in/on/among the/this/who pressure and (in/on/among the/this/who *k*) kingdom and perseverance (in/on/among *no*) Jesus (Christ *K*) to be in/on/among the/this/who island the/this/who to call: call Patmos through/because of the/this/who word the/this/who God and (through/because of *k*) the/this/who testimony Jesus (Christ *K*)
I, John, your fellow believer, am suffering as you [are] because of our letting Jesus rule [our lives]. We are steadfastly enduring [trials] because of our relationship with him. I was punished by being sent/exiled to Patmos island because [of my proclaiming] God’s message and telling [people about] Jesus.
10 to be in/on/among spirit/breath: spirit in/on/among the/this/who the Lord’s day and to hear after me voice/sound: noise great as/when trumpet
[God’s] Spirit took control of me on one of the days [that we believers met to worship] the Lord.
11 to say (I/we *KO*) (to be the/this/who Alpha and the/this/who Omega the/this/who first and the/this/who last/least and *K*) which to see to write toward scroll and to send the/this/who seven assembly (the/this/who in/on/among Asia *K*) toward Ephesus and toward Smyrna and toward Pergamum and toward Thyatira and toward Sardis and toward Philadelphia and toward Laodicea
[At that time], I heard behind me someone [speaking to me as loudly and as clearly] [SIM] as a trumpet. He was saying [to me], “Write on a scroll what you see, and send it to seven congregations. Send it to [the congregations] in Ephesus [city], in Smyrna [city], in Pergamum [city], in Thyatira [city], in Sardis [city], in Philadelphia [city], and in Laodicea [city].”
12 and (there *O*) to turn to see the/this/who voice/sound: voice who/which (to speak *N(k)O*) with/after I/we and to turn to perceive: see seven lampstand golden
[In this vision] I turned in order that I might see who had spoken to me [SYN]. When I turned,
13 and in/on/among midst the/this/who (seven *KO*) lampstand like (son *N(k)O*) a human to put on floorlength and to gird to/with the/this/who breast belt/sash/girdle golden
I saw seven golden lampstands. In the midst of the lampstands there was [someone] who looked like he came from heaven. He wore a robe that reached to his feet, and he wore a gold band around his chest.
14 the/this/who then head it/s/he and the/this/who hair white (as/when *N(k)O*) wool white as/when snow and the/this/who eye it/s/he as/when flame fire
The hair on his head was white like white wool [or] like snow. His eyes were [shining brightly] [SIM], like a flame of fire.
15 and the/this/who foot it/s/he like bronze as/when in/on/among furnace/oven (to burn *N(k)O*) and the/this/who voice/sound: voice it/s/he as/when voice/sound: voice water much
His feet [looked] like brass that glows [as it is being] purified {as [people] purify it} in a furnace. [When he spoke], his voice [sounded] like the sound [made by] a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide river of rushing water).
16 and to have/be in/on/among the/this/who right hand it/s/he star seven and out from the/this/who mouth it/s/he sword double-edged sharp/swift to depart and the/this/who face it/s/he as/when the/this/who sun to shine/appear in/on/among the/this/who power it/s/he
In his right hand he held seven stars. A sword that had two sharp edges extended from his mouth. His face [shone as bright] as the sun shines [at midday] [MTY].
17 and when to perceive: see it/s/he to collapse to/with the/this/who foot it/s/he as/when dead and (to place *N(k)O*) the/this/who right it/s/he (hand *K*) upon/to/against I/we to say (me *k*) not to fear I/we to be the/this/who first and the/this/who last/least
When I saw him, I fell down at his feet [and was unable to move or speak] [SIM], as though [I were] dead. But he put his right hand on me and said to me, “Don’t be afraid! I am the one who created [all things] and the [one who will cause all things to] end.
19 to write (therefore/then *NO*) which to perceive: see and which to be and which to ensue (to be *N(k)O*) with/after this/he/she/it
So write the [vision] that you are seeing. Write about the [conditions] that exist now, and the [events] that are about to happen next.
20 the/this/who mystery the/this/who seven star (which *N(k)O*) to perceive: see upon/to/against the/this/who right me and the/this/who seven lampstand the/this/who golden the/this/who seven star angel the/this/who seven assembly to be and the/this/who lampstand (the/this/who *N(k)O*) (to perceive: see *K*) seven seven assembly to be
The meaning of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and the seven golden lampstands [that you saw is this]: The seven stars [in my hand represent the leaders, who are like] angels, [who watch over] the seven congregations, and the [seven] lampstands [represent] the seven congregations.”
