prakāśitaṁ 1
1 yat prakāśitaṁ vākyam īśvaraḥ svadāsānāṁ nikaṭaṁ śīghramupasthāsyantīnāṁ ghaṭanānāṁ darśanārthaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭe samarpitavān tat sa svīyadūtaṁ preṣya nijasevakaṁ yohanaṁ jñāpitavān|
Jesus Christ's revelation, which God gave Him to show to His slaves—things that must occur shortly. And He communicated it, sending it by His angel to His slave John,
2 sa ceśvarasya vākye khrīṣṭasya sākṣye ca yadyad dṛṣṭavān tasya pramāṇaṁ dattavān|
who gave witness to the word of God, even the testimony of Jesus Christ—the things that He saw, both things that are and those that must happen after these.
3 etasya bhaviṣyadvaktṛgranthasya vākyānāṁ pāṭhakaḥ śrotāraśca tanmadhye likhitājñāgrāhiṇaśca dhanyā yataḥ sa kālaḥ sannikaṭaḥ|
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; because the time is near.
4 yohan āśiyādeśasthāḥ sapta samitīḥ prati patraṁ likhati| yo varttamāno bhūto bhaviṣyaṁśca ye ca saptātmānastasya siṁhāsanasya sammukhe tiṣṭhanti
John, to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him who is and who was and who is coming, and from the sevenfold Spirit who is before His throne,
5 yaśca yīśukhrīṣṭo viśvastaḥ sākṣī mṛtānāṁ madhye prathamajāto bhūmaṇḍalastharājānām adhipatiśca bhavati, etebhyo 'nugrahaḥ śāntiśca yuṣmāsu varttatāṁ|
and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn from among the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins with His own blood
6 yo 'smāsu prītavān svarudhireṇāsmān svapāpebhyaḥ prakṣālitavān tasya piturīśvarasya yājakān kṛtvāsmān rājavarge niyuktavāṁśca tasmin mahimā parākramaścānantakālaṁ yāvad varttatāṁ| āmen| (aiōn g165)
—indeed, He made us a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 paśyata sa meghairāgacchati tenaikaikasya cakṣustaṁ drakṣyati ye ca taṁ viddhavantaste 'pi taṁ vilokiṣyante tasya kṛte pṛthivīsthāḥ sarvve vaṁśā vilapiṣyanti| satyam āmen|
Take note, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, including those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will beat their breasts [in dismay] because of Him. Yea, verily!
8 varttamāno bhūto bhaviṣyaṁśca yaḥ sarvvaśaktimān prabhuḥ parameśvaraḥ sa gadati, ahameva kaḥ kṣaścārthata ādirantaśca|
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “He who is and who was and who is coming, The Almighty.”
9 yuṣmākaṁ bhrātā yīśukhrīṣṭasya kleśarājyatitikṣāṇāṁ sahabhāgī cāhaṁ yohan īśvarasya vākyaheto ryīśukhrīṣṭasya sākṣyahetośca pātmanāmaka upadvīpa āsaṁ|
I, John, your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Christ Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the Word of God and on account of the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 tatra prabho rdine ātmanāviṣṭo 'haṁ svapaścāt tūrīdhvanivat mahāravam aśrauṣaṁ,
I was in spirit on the Lord's day and I heard a voice behind me, loud as a trumpet,
11 tenoktam, ahaṁ kaḥ kṣaścārthata ādirantaśca| tvaṁ yad drakṣyasi tad granthe likhitvāśiyādeśasthānāṁ sapta samitīnāṁ samīpam iphiṣaṁ smurṇāṁ thuyātīrāṁ sārddiṁ philādilphiyāṁ lāyadīkeyāñca preṣaya|
saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
12 tato mayā sambhāṣamāṇasya kasya ravaḥ śrūyate taddarśanārthaṁ mukhaṁ parāvarttitaṁ tat parāvartya svarṇamayāḥ sapta dīpavṛkṣā dṛṣṭāḥ|
And there I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 teṣāṁ sapta dīpavṛkṣāṇāṁ madhye dīrghaparicchadaparihitaḥ suvarṇaśṛṅkhalena veṣṭitavakṣaśca manuṣyaputrākṛtireko janastiṣṭhati,
and in the midst of the seven lampstands one similar to a son of man, clothed down to the feet and girded at the nipples with a golden belt.
14 tasya śiraḥ keśaśca śvetameṣalomānīva himavat śretau locane vahniśikhāsame
Now His head, that is His hair, was white, like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire;
15 caraṇau vahnikuṇḍetāpitasupittalasadṛśau ravaśca bahutoyānāṁ ravatulyaḥ|
and His feet were like fine brass, as when refined in a furnace; and His voice was like the sound of many waters;
16 tasya dakṣiṇahaste sapta tārā vidyante vaktrācca tīkṣṇo dvidhāraḥ khaṅgo nirgacchati mukhamaṇḍalañca svatejasā dedīpyamānasya sūryyasya sadṛśaṁ|
and He had seven stars on His right hand and a sharp two-edged sword coming out of His mouth; and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.
17 taṁ dṛṣṭvāhaṁ mṛtakalpastaccaraṇe patitastataḥ svadakṣiṇakaraṁ mayi nidhāya tenoktam mā bhaiṣīḥ; aham ādirantaśca|
And when I saw Him I fell at His feet as if dead. And He placed His right hand upon me saying: “Do not fear. I am the First and the Last,
19 ato yad bhavati yaccetaḥ paraṁ bhaviṣyati tvayā dṛṣṭaṁ tat sarvvaṁ likhyatāṁ|
Therefore write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are going to occur after these.
20 mama dakṣiṇahaste sthitā yāḥ sapta tārā ye ca svarṇamayāḥ sapta dīpavṛkṣāstvayā dṛṣṭāstattātparyyamidaṁ tāḥ sapta tārāḥ sapta samitīnāṁ dūtāḥ suvarṇamayāḥ sapta dīpavṛkṣāśca sapta samitayaḥ santi|
The mystery of the seven stars which you saw upon my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the messengers of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands that you saw are seven churches.
