Apocalipse 1
Nova Traduҫão na Linguagem de Hoje 2000
1 Neste livro estão escritas as coisas que Jesus Cristo revelou. Deus lhe deu esta revelação para mostrar aos seus servos o que precisa acontecer logo. Cristo enviou o seu anjo para que, por meio dele, o seu servo João soubesse dessas coisas. 2 João contou tudo o que viu, e aqui está o que ele contou a respeito da mensagem de Deus e da verdade revelada por Jesus Cristo. 3 Feliz quem lê este livro, e felizes aqueles que ouvem as palavras desta mensagem profética e obedecem ao que está escrito neste livro! Pois está perto o tempo em que todas essas coisas acontecerão.
Saudação às sete igrejas
4 Eu, João, escrevo às sete igrejas que estão na província da Ásia.
Que a graça e a paz lhes sejam dadas da parte de Deus, aquele que é, que era e que há de vir; da parte dos sete espíritos que estão diante do seu trono 5 e da parte de Jesus Cristo, a testemunha fiel! Ele é o primeiro Filho, que foi ressuscitado e que governa os reis do mundo inteiro.
Ele nos ama, e pela sua morte na cruz nos livrou dos nossos pecados, 6 e fez de nós um reino de sacerdotes a fim de servirmos ao seu Deus e Pai. A Jesus Cristo sejam dados a glória e o poder para todo o sempre! Amém!
7 Olhem! Ele vem com as nuvens! Todos o verão, até mesmo os que o atravessaram com a lança. Todos os povos do mundo chorarão por causa dele. Certamente será assim. Amém!
8 Eu sou o Alfa e o Ômega, diz o Senhor Deus, o Todo-Poderoso, que é, que era e que há de vir.
Uma visão de Cristo
9 Eu sou João, irmão de vocês; e, unido com Jesus, tomo parte com vocês no Reino e também em aguentar o sofrimento com paciência. Eu estava na ilha de Patmos, para onde havia sido levado por ter anunciado a mensagem de Deus e a verdade que Jesus revelou. 10 No dia do Senhor fui dominado pelo Espírito de Deus e ouvi atrás de mim uma voz forte como o som de uma trombeta, 11 que me disse:
— Escreva num livro o que você vai ver e mande esse livro às igrejas que estão nestas sete cidades: Éfeso, Esmirna, Pérgamo, Tiatira, Sardes, Filadélfia e Laodiceia.
12 Eu virei para ver quem falava comigo e vi sete candelabros de ouro. 13 No meio deles estava um ser parecido com um homem, vestindo uma roupa que chegava até os pés e com uma faixa de ouro em volta do peito. 14 Os seus cabelos eram brancos como a lã ou como a neve, e os seus olhos eram brilhantes como o fogo. 15 Os seus pés brilhavam como o bronze refinado na fornalha e depois polido, e a sua voz parecia o barulho de uma grande cachoeira. 16 Na mão direita ele segurava sete estrelas, e da sua boca saía uma espada afiada dos dois lados. O seu rosto brilhava como o sol do meio-dia.
17 Quando eu o vi, caí aos seus pés, como morto. Porém ele pôs a mão direita sobre mim e disse:
— Não tenha medo. Eu sou o Primeiro e o Último. 18 Eu sou aquele que vive. Estive morto, mas agora estou vivo para todo o sempre. Tenho autoridade sobre a morte e sobre o mundo dos mortos. 19 Portanto, escreva as coisas que você vai ver, tanto as que estão acontecendo agora como as que vão acontecer depois. 20 O sentido secreto das sete estrelas que você viu na minha mão direita e dos sete candelabros de ouro é este: as sete estrelas são os anjos das sete igrejas, e os sete candelabros são as sete igrejas.
启示录 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
1 以下是上帝赐给耶稣基督的启示,让祂把将来要发生的事指示祂的众奴仆。因此,祂差遣天使告诉祂的奴仆约翰。 2 约翰便为自己所看见的一切——上帝的道和耶稣基督做见证。 3 那位宣读这预言的人和那些听见并遵守其中内容的人有福了,因为日期近了。
问候七教会
4-5 我约翰写信给你们亚细亚的七间教会。愿昔在、今在、以后永在的上帝,祂宝座前的七灵[a]和耶稣基督赐给你们恩典和平安。耶稣基督是忠心的见证人,是首先从死里复活的,是世上君王的首领。祂爱我们,用自己的血救我们脱离罪恶, 6 使我们成为祭司的国度[b]来事奉祂的父上帝。愿祂得到一切荣耀和权柄,一直到永永远远。阿们!
7 看啊!祂要驾云降临,世人都要看见祂,包括曾经刺祂的人。地上的万族都必因祂而哀哭。这事必定实现。阿们!
8 主上帝说:“我是阿拉法,我是俄梅加[c],我是昔在、今在、以后永在的全能者。”
基督的显现
9 我约翰是你们的弟兄,在耶稣里和你们患难与共、同享国度、一起忍耐。我因传扬上帝的道、为主耶稣做见证而到了拔摩海岛上。 10 主日,我被圣灵感动,听见身后有号角般响亮的声音说: 11 “把你所看见的写在书上,然后送给以弗所、士每拿、别迦摩、推雅推喇、撒狄、非拉铁非和老底嘉七间教会。”
12 我转身看究竟是谁在对我说话,我看见七个金灯台, 13 有一位好像人子耶稣的站在这些灯台中间。祂长袍垂脚,金带围胸, 14 头与发白如羊毛、洁白如雪,眼睛像火焰, 15 双脚像炉中冶炼过的铜一样光亮,声音如同洪涛之声。 16 祂右手拿着七颗星,口中吐出一把两刃的利剑,面貌如烈日放光。
17 我一看见祂,便扑倒在祂脚前,像死了一样。祂把右手按在我身上,说:“不要害怕!我是首先的,我是末后的, 18 我是永活者。我曾经死过,但看啊,我永永远远活着。我掌握死亡和阴间的钥匙。 19 所以,你要将所看见的一切——现在和将来要发生的事都记录下来。 20 你所看见在我右手中的七颗星和七个金灯台的奥秘是,七颗星代表七间教会的天使[d],七个灯台代表七间教会。
Revelation 1
King James Version
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
Revelation 1
New King James Version
Introduction and Benediction
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, (A)which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must [a]shortly take place. And (B)He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, 2 (C)who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things (D)that he saw. 3 (E)Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for (F)the time is near.
Greeting the Seven Churches
4 John, to the seven churches which are in Asia:
Grace to you and peace from Him (G)who is and (H)who was and who is to come, (I)and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, (J)the faithful (K)witness, the (L)firstborn from the dead, and (M)the ruler over the kings of the earth.
To Him (N)who [b]loved us (O)and washed us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has (P)made us [c]kings and priests to His God and Father, (Q)to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, He is coming with (R)clouds, and every eye will see Him, even (S)they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.
8 (T)“I am the Alpha and the Omega, [d]the Beginning and the End,” says the [e]Lord, (U)“who is and who was and who is to come, the (V)Almighty.”
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.
