Apocalypsis 1
1 Apocalypsis Iesu Christi, quam dedit illi Deus palam facere servis suis, quae oportet fieri cito: et significavit, mittens per Angelum suum servo suo Ioanni,
The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave him so that his servants might have knowledge of the things which will quickly take place: and he sent and made it clear by his angel to his servant John;
2 qui testimonium perhibuit verbo Dei, et testimonium Iesu Christi, quaecumque vidit.
Who gave witness of the word of God, and of the witness of Jesus Christ, even of all the things which he saw.
3 Beatus, qui legit, et audit verba prophetiae huius: et servat ea, quae in ea scripta sunt: tempus enim prope est.
A blessing be on the reader, and on those who give ear to the prophet's words, and keep the things which he has put in the book: for the time is near.
4 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:
John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and was and is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his high seat;
5 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,
And from Jesus Christ, the true witness, the first to come back from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who had love for us and has made us clean from our sins by his blood;
6 et fecit nos regnum, et sacerdotes Deo et Patri suo: ipsi gloria, et imperium in saecula saeculorum: Amen. (aiōn g165)
And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to his God and Father; to him let glory and power be given for ever and ever. So be it. (aiōn g165)
7 Ecce venit cum nubibus, et videbit eum omnis oculus, et qui eum pupugerunt. Et plangent se super eum omnes tribus terrae: Etiam: Amen.
See, he comes with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and those by whom he was wounded; and all the tribes of the earth will be sorrowing because of him. Yes, so be it.
8 Ego sum alpha, et omega, principium, et finis, dicit Dominus Deus: qui est, et qui erat, et qui venturus est, omnipotens.
I am the First and the Last, says the Lord God who is and was and is to come, the Ruler of all.
9 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:
I, John, your brother, who have a part with you in the trouble and the kingdom and the quiet strength of Jesus, was in the island which is named Patmos, for the word of God and the witness of Jesus.
10 Fui in spiritu in Dominica die, et audivi post me vocem magnam tamquam tubae,
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and a great voice at my back, as of a horn, came to my ears,
11 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:
Saying, What you see, put in a book, and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamos and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.
12 Et conversus sum ut viderem vocem, quae loquebatur mecum: Et conversus vidi septem candelabra aurea:
And turning to see the voice which said these words to me, I saw seven gold vessels with lights burning in them;
13 et in medio septem candelabrorum aureorum similem filio hominis, vestitum podere, et praecinctum ad mamillas zona aurea:
And in the middle of them one like a son of man, clothed with a robe down to his feet, and with a band of gold round his breasts.
14 caput autem eius, et capilli erant candidi tamquam lana alba, et tamquam nix, et oculi eius tamquam flamma ignis,
And his head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 et pedes eius similes aurichalco, sicut in camino ardenti, et vox illius tamquam vox aquarum multarum:
And his feet like polished brass, as if it had been burned in a fire; and his voice was as the sound of great waters.
16 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.
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword: and his face was like the sun shining in its strength.
17 Et cum vidissem eum, cecidi ad pedes eius tamquam mortuus. Et posuit dexteram suam super me, dicens: Noli timere: ego sum primus, et novissimus,
And when I saw him, I went down on my face at his feet as one dead. And he put his right hand on me, saying, Have no fear; I am the first and the last and the Living one;
19 Scribe ergo quae vidisti, et quae sunt, et quae oportet fieri post haec.
Put in writing, then, the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will be after these;
20 Sacramentum septem stellarum, quas vidisti in dextera mea, et septem candelabra aurea: septem stellae Angeli sunt septem Ecclesiarum: et candelabra septem, septem Ecclesiae sunt.
The secret of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold vessels with burning lights. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lights are the seven churches.
