Revelation 1
1 This is the revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John.
Apocalypsis Iesu Christi, quam dedit illi Deus palam facere servis suis, quae oportet fieri cito: et significavit, mittens per Angelum suum servo suo Ioanni,
2 John testified about the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all the things that he saw.
qui testimonium perhibuit verbo Dei, et testimonium Iesu Christi, quaecumque vidit.
3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud this prophecy, and those who listen to the words of this prophecy and who obey what is written in it, because the time is near.
Beatus, qui legit, et audit verba prophetiae huius: et servat ea, quae in ea scripta sunt: tempus enim prope est.
4 John, to the seven churches in Asia: May grace be to you and peace from the one who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,
Ioannes septem Ecclesiis, quae sunt in Asia. Gratia vobis, et pax ab eo, qui est, et qui erat, et qui venturus est: et a septem spiritibus, qui in conspectu throni eius sunt:
5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the one who loves us and has released us from our sins by his blood—
et a Iesu Christo, qui est testis fidelis, primogenitus mortuorum, et princeps regum terrae, qui dilexit nos, et lavit nos a peccatis nostris in sanguine suo,
6 he has made us a kingdom, priests for his God and Father—to him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
et fecit nos regnum, et sacerdotes Deo et Patri suo: ipsi gloria, et imperium in saecula saeculorum: Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Look, he is coming with the clouds; every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him. Yes, Amen.
Ecce venit cum nubibus, et videbit eum omnis oculus, et qui eum pupugerunt. Et plangent se super eum omnes tribus terrae: Etiam: Amen.
8 “I am the alpha and the omega,” says the Lord God, “the one who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Ego sum alpha, et omega, principium, et finis, dicit Dominus Deus: qui est, et qui erat, et qui venturus est, omnipotens.
9 I, John—your brother and the one who shares with you in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are in Jesus—was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony about Jesus.
Ego Ioannes frater vester, et particeps in tribulatione, et regno et patientia in Christo Iesu: fui in insula, quae appellatur Patmos propter verbum Dei, et testimonium Iesu:
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day. I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet.
Fui in spiritu in Dominica die, et audivi post me vocem magnam tamquam tubae,
11 It said, “Write what you see in a book, and send it to the seven churches—to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamum, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
dicentis: Quod vides, scribe in libro: et mitte septem Ecclesiis, quae sunt in Asia, Epheso, et Smyrnae, et Pergamo, et Thyatirae, et Sardis, et Philadelphiae, et Laodiciae:
12 I turned around to see whose voice was speaking to me, and as I turned I saw seven golden lampstands.
Et conversus sum ut viderem vocem, quae loquebatur mecum: Et conversus vidi septem candelabra aurea:
13 In the middle of the lampstands there was one like a son of man, wearing a long robe that reached down to his feet and a golden sash around his chest.
et in medio septem candelabrorum aureorum similem filio hominis, vestitum podere, et praecinctum ad mamillas zona aurea:
14 His head and hair were as white as wool—as white as snow—and his eyes were like a flame of fire.
caput autem eius, et capilli erant candidi tamquam lana alba, et tamquam nix, et oculi eius tamquam flamma ignis,
15 His feet were like polished bronze, like bronze that had been refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many rushing waters.
et pedes eius similes aurichalco, sicut in camino ardenti, et vox illius tamquam vox aquarum multarum:
16 He had seven stars in his right hand, and a sword with two sharp edges was coming out of his mouth. His face was shining like the sun at its strongest.
et habebat in dextera sua stellas septem: et de ore eius gladius utraque parte acutus exibat: et facies eius sicut sol lucet in virtute sua.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last,
Et cum vidissem eum, cecidi ad pedes eius tamquam mortuus. Et posuit dexteram suam super me, dicens: Noli timere: ego sum primus, et novissimus,
19 Therefore write down what you have seen, what is now, and what will take place after this.
Scribe ergo quae vidisti, et quae sunt, et quae oportet fieri post haec.
20 As for the hidden meaning about the seven stars you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.”
Sacramentum septem stellarum, quas vidisti in dextera mea, et septem candelabra aurea: septem stellae Angeli sunt septem Ecclesiarum: et candelabra septem, septem Ecclesiae sunt.
