요한계시록 1
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

요한, 이 책에 대하여 말하다

1 이것은 예수 그리스도의 계시[a]입니다. 이 계시는 하나님께서 예수께 주신 것으로, 예수로 하여금 머지않아 일어나야 할 일들을 당신의 종들에게 알리게 하려는 것입니다. 그리스도께서는 당신의 종 요한에게 당신의 천사를 보내어 이것들을 보여 주셨습니다. 2 요한은 자기가 본 것을 모두 말하였습니다. 그가 본 것은 하나님께로부터 나온 말씀이며, 예수 그리스도께서 그에게 일러 주신 진리입니다. 3 하나님께로부터 나온 이 말씀을 읽는 사람과, 그것을 듣고 거기에 적힌 것을 실천하는 사람은 복이 있습니다. 위기의 시간이 가까워졌기 때문입니다.

요한, 예수의 말씀을 여러 교회에 써 보내다

4 나 요한은 아시아[b]에 있는 일곱 교회에 이 편지를 씁니다.

지금도 계시며 전에도 계셨고 앞으로 오실 그분과, 그분의 보좌 앞에 있는 일곱 영들과, 5 예수 그리스도께서 여러분에게 은혜와 평화를 내려 주시기를 바랍니다. 예수 그리스도께서는 신실한 증인이시며, 죽은 자들 가운데서 가장 먼저 일어나신 분이며, 세상의 왕들을 다스리시는 분입니다.

예수 그리스도께서는 우리를 사랑하시며, 자신의 피를 흘리심으로써 우리를 죄에서 벗어나게 해 주셨습니다. 6 그분께서는 우리를 한 왕국으로 이루시고, 또 당신의 아버지 하나님을 섬기는 제사장[c]으로 삼으셨습니다. 그분께 영광과 권능이 영원무궁토록 있기를 빕니다. 아멘.

7 보십시오! 그분께서 구름과 함께 오십니다!
모든 눈이 그분을 보리니
그분을 찌른[d] 사람들도 볼 것입니다.
세상 모든 족속이 그분 때문에
큰 소리로 통곡할 것입니다.
꼭 그렇게 될 것입니다. 아멘.

8 주 하나님께서 말씀하십니다. “나는 알파와 오메가[e]다.” 그분은 지금도 계시고, 전에도 계셨으며, 앞으로 오실 분, 곧 전능하신 분입니다.

9 나 요한은 여러분의 형제요, 예수 안에서 고난과 왕국과 인내를 여러분과 함께 나누는 사람입니다. 나는 하나님의 말씀을 전하고 예수를 증언한 탓으로 밧모 섬[f]으로 쫓겨나 있었습니다. 10 주의 날에 내가 성령에 사로잡혀 있었습니다. 그때에 나는 내 뒤에서 들려오는 나팔 소리와 같은 큰 목소리를 들었습니다. 11 그 목소리가 말하였습니다. “네가 보는 이 모든 것을 책으로 써서, 그것을 일곱 교회 곧 에베소와 서머나와 버가모와 두아디라와 사데와 필라델피아와 라오디게아에 있는 교회에 보내어라.”

12 나는 누가 내게 그런 말씀을 하시는지 알아보려고 돌아섰습니다. 돌아서서 보니 금으로 된 등잔대 일곱 개가 있었습니다. 13 그리고 사람의 아들과 같으신 이[g]가 그 등잔대들 사이에 서 계셨습니다. 그분은 긴 옷을 입고, 가슴에는 금띠를 두르고 계셨습니다. 14 그분의 머리와 머리카락은 양털같이 또는 눈같이 희고, 그분의 눈은 불꽃 같았습니다. 15 그분의 발은 깨끗이 정련된 훌륭한 놋쇠 같고, 그분의 목소리는 폭포 소리 같았습니다. 16 그분은 오른손에 일곱 개의 별을 쥐고 계셨습니다. 그분의 입에서는 칼이 뻗어 나왔는데, 그 칼의 양쪽에 날카로운 날이 서 있었습니다. 그분의 얼굴은 마치 한낮의 해처럼 아주 밝게 빛났습니다.

17 나는 그분을 뵙자, 그분의 발 앞에 죽은 사람처럼 털썩 쓰러졌습니다. 그러자 그분은 당신의 오른손을 내게 얹으며 말씀하셨습니다. “두려워하지 말아라! 나는 ‘처음과 마지막’ 이다. 18 나는 ‘살아 있는 이’ 이다. 나는 한 번 죽었으나, 보라, 나는 영원무궁토록 살아 있다! 나는 죽음과 저승[h]의 열쇠를 쥐고 있다. 19 그러므로 너는 네가 이미 본 것과 지금 일어나고 있는 일과 나중에 있을 일을 글로 써라. 20 네가 본 내 오른손 안의 일곱 별과 일곱 금 등잔대의 비밀은 이러하다. 일곱 등잔대는 일곱 교회이고, 일곱 별은 일곱 교회의 천사들이다.”

English Standard Version

Prologue

1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God (A)gave him (B)to show to his servants[a] the things that must soon take place. (C)He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 (D)who bore witness to the word of God and to (E)the testimony of Jesus Christ, even (F)to all that he saw. 3 (G)Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, (H)for the time is near.

Greeting to the Seven Churches

4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia:

Grace to you and peace from (I)him (J)who is and (K)who was and who is to come, and from (L)the seven spirits who are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ (M)the faithful witness, (N)the firstborn of the dead, and (O)the ruler of kings on earth.

To (P)him who loves us and (Q)has freed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us (R)a kingdom, (S)priests to (T)his God and Father, to him be (U)glory and (V)dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, (W)he is coming with the clouds, and (X)every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail[b] on account of him. Even so. Amen.

8 (Y)“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, (Z)“who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Vision of the Son of Man

9 I, John, your brother and (AA)partner in (AB)the tribulation and (AC)the kingdom and (AD)the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos (AE)on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 (AF)I was in the Spirit (AG)on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice (AH)like a trumpet 11 saying, (AI)“Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”

12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw (AJ)seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands (AK)one like (AL)a son of man, (AM)clothed with a long robe and (AN)with a golden sash around his chest. 14 (AO)The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. (AP)His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 (AQ)his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and (AR)his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 (AS)In his right hand he held seven stars, (AT)from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and (AU)his face was like the sun shining (AV)in full strength.

17 (AW)When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But (AX)he laid his right hand on me, (AY)saying, “Fear not, (AZ)I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. (BA)I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and (BB)I have the keys of Death and Hades. 19 (BC)Write therefore (BD)the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this. 20 As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and (BE)the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and (BF)the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Greetings and Doxology

4 John,

To the seven churches(I) in the province of Asia:

Grace and peace to you(J) from him who is, and who was, and who is to come,(K) and from the seven spirits[a](L) before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,(M) the firstborn from the dead,(N) and the ruler of the kings of the earth.(O)

So shall it be! Amen.

John’s Vision of Christ

9 I, John,(AA) your brother and companion in the suffering(AB) and kingdom(AC) and patient endurance(AD) that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God(AE) and the testimony of Jesus.(AF) 10 On the Lord’s Day(AG) I was in the Spirit,(AH) and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,(AI) 11 which said: “Write on a scroll what you see(AJ) and send it to the seven churches:(AK) to Ephesus,(AL) Smyrna,(AM) Pergamum,(AN) Thyatira,(AO) Sardis,(AP) Philadelphia(AQ) and Laodicea.”(AR)

12 I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands,(AS) 13 and among the lampstands(AT) was someone like a son of man,[d](AU) dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet(AV) and with a golden sash around his chest.(AW) 14 The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.(AX) 15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace,(AY) and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters.(AZ) 16 In his right hand he held seven stars,(BA) and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword.(BB) His face was like the sun(BC) shining in all its brilliance.

17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet(BD) as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me(BE) and said: “Do not be afraid.(BF) I am the First and the Last.(BG) 18 I am the Living One; I was dead,(BH) and now look, I am alive for ever and ever!(BI) And I hold the keys of death and Hades.(BJ)

19 “Write, therefore, what you have seen,(BK) what is now and what will take place later. 20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand(BL) and of the seven golden lampstands(BM) is this: The seven stars are the angels[e] of the seven churches,(BN) and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.(BO)

Vision of the Son of Man

9 I, John, [f]both your brother and (W)companion in the tribulation and (X)kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 (Y)I was in the Spirit on (Z)the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me (AA)a loud voice, as of a trumpet, 11 saying, [g]“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches [h]which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned (AB)I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 (AC)and in the midst of the seven lampstands (AD)One like the Son of Man, (AE)clothed with a garment down to the feet and (AF)girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head and (AG)hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and (AH)His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 (AI)His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and (AJ)His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 (AK)He had in His right hand seven stars, (AL)out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, (AM)and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And (AN)when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But (AO)He laid His right hand on me, saying [i]to me, “Do not be afraid; (AP)I am the First and the Last. 18 (AQ)I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, (AR)I am alive forevermore. Amen. And (AS)I have the keys of [j]Hades and of Death. 19 [k]Write the things which you have (AT)seen, (AU)and the things which are, (AV)and the things which will take place after this. 20 The [l]mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are (AW)the [m]angels of the seven churches, and (AX)the seven lampstands [n]which you saw are the seven churches.
