啟示錄 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
1 以下是上帝賜給耶穌基督的啟示,讓祂把將來要發生的事指示祂的眾奴僕。因此,祂差遣天使告訴祂的奴僕約翰。 2 約翰便為自己所看見的一切——上帝的道和耶穌基督做見證。 3 那位宣讀這預言的人和那些聽見並遵守其中內容的人有福了,因為日期近了。
問候七教會
4-5 我約翰寫信給你們亞細亞的七間教會。願昔在、今在、以後永在的上帝,祂寶座前的七靈[a]和耶穌基督賜給你們恩典和平安。耶穌基督是忠心的見證人,是首先從死裡復活的,是世上君王的首領。祂愛我們,用自己的血救我們脫離罪惡, 6 使我們成為祭司的國度[b]來事奉祂的父上帝。願祂得到一切榮耀和權柄,一直到永永遠遠。阿們!
7 看啊!祂要駕雲降臨,世人都要看見祂,包括曾經刺祂的人。地上的萬族都必因祂而哀哭。這事必定實現。阿們!
8 主上帝說:「我是阿拉法,我是俄梅加[c],我是昔在、今在、以後永在的全能者。」
基督的顯現
9 我約翰是你們的弟兄,在耶穌裡和你們患難與共、同享國度、一起忍耐。我因傳揚上帝的道、為主耶穌做見證而到了拔摩海島上。 10 主日,我被聖靈感動,聽見身後有號角般響亮的聲音說: 11 「把你所看見的寫在書上,然後送給以弗所、士每拿、別迦摩、推雅推喇、撒狄、非拉鐵非和老底嘉七間教會。」
12 我轉身看究竟是誰在對我說話,我看見七個金燈臺, 13 有一位好像人子耶穌的站在這些燈臺中間。祂長袍垂腳,金帶圍胸, 14 頭與髮白如羊毛、潔白如雪,眼睛像火焰, 15 雙腳像爐中冶煉過的銅一樣光亮,聲音如同洪濤之聲。 16 祂右手拿著七顆星,口中吐出一把兩刃的利劍,面貌如烈日放光。
17 我一看見祂,便仆倒在祂腳前,像死了一樣。祂把右手按在我身上,說:「不要害怕!我是首先的,我是末後的, 18 我是永活者。我曾經死過,但看啊,我永永遠遠活著。我掌握死亡和陰間的鑰匙。 19 所以,你要將所看見的一切——現在和將來要發生的事都記錄下來。 20 你所看見在我右手中的七顆星和七個金燈臺的奧祕是,七顆星代表七間教會的天使[d],七個燈臺代表七間教會。
Pahayag 1
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
1 Ang Apocalipsis ni Jesucristo, na ibinigay ng Dios sa kaniya upang ipahayag sa kaniyang mga alipin, sa makatuwid ay ang mga bagay na nararapat mangyaring madali: at kaniyang ipinadala at ipinaalam sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang anghel sa kaniyang alipin na si Juan;
2 Na sumaksi sa salita ng Dios, at sa patotoo ni Jesucristo, sa lahat ng mga bagay na nakita niya.
3 Mapalad ang bumabasa, at ang nangakikinig ng mga salita ng hula, at tumutupad ng mga bagay na nangasusulat doon: sapagka't ang panaho'y malapit na.
4 Si Juan sa pitong iglesia na nasa Asia: Biyaya ang sumainyo nawa, at kapayapaang mula doon sa kaniya na ngayon, at nang nakaraan at darating; at mula sa pitong Espiritu na nasa harapan ng kaniyang luklukan;
5 At mula kay Jesucristo na siyang saksing tapat, na panganay sa mga patay, at pangulo ng mga hari sa lupa. Doon sa umiibig sa atin, at sa nagkalag sa atin sa ating mga kasalanan sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang dugo;
6 At ginawa tayong kaharian, mga saserdote sa kaniyang Dios at Ama; sumakaniya nawa ang kaluwalhatian at ang paghahari magpakailan kailan man. Siya nawa.
7 Narito, siya'y pumaparitong nasasa mga alapaap; at makikita siya ng bawa't mata, at ng nangagsiulos sa kaniya; at ang lahat ng mga angkan sa lupa ay magsisitaghoy dahil sa kaniya. Gayon din, Siya nawa.
8 Ako ang Alpha at ang Omega, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, ngayon at nang nakaraan at sa darating, ang Makapangyarihan sa lahat.
9 Akong si Juan, na inyong kapatid at inyong karamay sa kapighatian at sa kaharian at sa pagtitiis na kay Jesus, ay nasasa pulo na tinatawag na Patmos, dahil sa salita ng Dios at sa patotoo ni Jesus.
10 Ako'y nasa Espiritu nang araw ng Panginoon, at narinig ko sa aking likuran ang dakilang tinig, na tulad sa isang pakakak.
11 Na nagsasabi, Ang iyong nakikita, ay isulat mo sa isang aklat at iyong ipadala sa pitong iglesia: sa Efeso, at sa Smirna, at sa Pergamo, at sa Tiatira, at sa Sardis, at sa Filadelfia, at sa Laodicea.
12 At ako'y lumingon upang makita ang tinig na nagsasalita sa akin. At nang ako'y lumingon ay nakita ko ang pitong kandelerong ginto:
13 At sa gitna ng mga kandelero ay may isang katulad ng isang anak ng tao, na may suot na damit hanggang sa paa, at may bigkis ang dibdib na isang pamigkis na ginto.
14 At ang kaniyang ulo at ang kaniyang buhok ay mapuputing gaya ng balahibong maputi ng tupa, gaya ng niebe; at ang kaniyang mga mata ay gaya ng ningas ng apoy;
15 At ang kaniyang mga paa ay katulad ng tansong binuli, na gaya ng dinalisay sa isang lutuang-bakal; at ang kaniyang tinig ay gaya ng lagaslas ng maraming tubig.
16 At sa kaniyang kanang kamay ay may pitong bituin: at sa kaniyang bibig ay lumabas ang isang matalas na tabak na may dalawang talim: at ang kaniyang mukha ay gaya ng araw na sumisikat ng matindi.
17 At nang siya'y aking makita, ay nasubasob akong waring patay sa kaniyang paanan. At ipinatong niya sa akin ang kaniyang kanang kamay, na sinasabi, Huwag kang matakot; ako'y ang una at ang huli,
18 At ang Nabubuhay; at ako'y namatay, at narito, ako'y nabubuhay magpakailan man, at nasa akin ang mga susi ng kamatayan at ng Hades.
19 Isulat mo nga ang mga bagay na nakita mo, at ang mga bagay ngayon, at ang mga bagay na mangyayari sa darating;
20 Ang hiwaga ng pitong bituin na iyong nakita sa aking kanang kamay, at ng pitong kandelerong ginto. Ang pitong bituin ay ang mga anghel ng pitong iglesia: at ang pitong kandelero ay ang pitong iglesia.
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.
