耶稣基督的启示

耶稣基督的启示,就是 神赐给他,叫他把快要发生的事指示他的众仆人。他就差派天使显示给他的仆人约翰。 约翰把 神的道,和耶稣基督的见证,凡是自己所看见的,都见证出来了。 读这书上预言的人,和那些听见这预言并且遵守书中记载的人,都是有福的!因为时候近了。

问候七教会

约翰写信给在亚西亚的七个教会。愿恩惠平安,从那位今在、昔在、以后要来的 神,从他宝座前的七灵, 又从那信实的见证人、死人中首先复生的、地上众君王的统治者耶稣基督临到你们。

他爱我们,用自己的血把我们从我们的罪中释放出来, 又使我们成为国度,作他父 神的祭司。愿荣耀权能都归给他,直到永永远远。阿们。

看哪,他驾着云降临,

每一个人都要看见他,

连那些刺过他的人也要看见他,

地上的万族都要因他哀号。

这是必定的,阿们。

主 神说:“我是阿拉法,我是俄梅格;我是今在、昔在、以后要来,全能的 神。”

基督向约翰显现

我约翰,就是你们的弟兄,在耶稣里跟你们一同分享患难、国度和忍耐的,为了 神的道和耶稣的见证,曾经在那名叫拔摩的海岛上。 10 有一个主日,我在灵里,听见在我后边有一个大声音,好象号筒的响声, 11 说:“你所看见的,要写在书上,也要寄给以弗所、士每拿、别迦摩、推雅推拉、撒狄、非拉铁非、老底嘉七个教会。”

12 我转过身来要看看那跟我说话的声音是谁发的;一转过来,就看见七个金灯台。 13 灯台中间有一位好象人子的,身上穿著直垂到脚的长衣,胸间束着金带。 14 他的头和头发像白羊毛、像雪一样洁白,他的眼睛好象火焰, 15 他的两脚好象在炉中精炼过的发光的铜,他的声音好象众水的声音。 16 他的右手拿着七星,有一把两刃的利剑从他口中吐出来;他的脸发光好象正午的烈日。

17 我看见了他,就仆倒在他脚前,像死了一样。他用右手按着我,说:“不要怕!我是首先的,我是末后的, 18 又是永活的;我曾经死过,看哪,现在又活着,直活到永永远远,并且拿着死亡和阴间的钥匙。 19 所以,你要把所看见的,现在的,和今后将要发生的事都写下来。 20 你所看见在我右手中的七星和七个金灯台的奥秘就是这样:七星是七个教会的使者,七灯台是七个教会。”

Ito ang pahayag ni Jesu-Cristo na ibinigay ng Diyos sa kanya at kanyang inihayag kay Juan na alipin niya, sa pamamagitan ng anghel na kanyang isinugo. Ang layunin ng paghahayag na ito'y ipakita sa mga alipin ng Diyos ang mga bagay na malapit nang maganap. Pinatotohanan ni Juan ang lahat ng kanyang nakita. Ito ang kanyang patotoo tungkol sa mensahe ng Diyos at sa katotohanang ipinahayag ni Jesu-Cristo. Pinagpala ang bumabasa ng aklat na ito, ang mga nakikinig sa propesiya nito, at tumutupad sa nasusulat dito! Sapagkat malapit na itong maganap.

Pagbati sa Pitong Iglesya

Mula(A) kay Juan, para sa pitong iglesya sa lalawigan ng Asia.

Sumainyo nawa ang kagandahang-loob at kapayapaang mula sa Diyos na siyang nakaraan, kasalukuyan, at darating, mula sa pitong espiritung nasa harap ng kanyang trono, at(B) mula kay Jesu-Cristo, ang tapat na saksi, ang panganay sa mga binuhay mula sa kamatayan, at ang pinuno ng mga hari sa lupa.

Iniibig niya tayo, at sa pamamagitan ng kanyang dugo ay pinalaya[a] niya tayo sa ating mga kasalanan. Ginawa(C) niya tayong isang kaharian ng mga pari upang maglingkod sa kanyang Diyos at Ama. Kay Jesu-Cristo ang kaluwalhatian at kapangyarihan magpakailanman! Amen.

Tingnan(D) ninyo, dumarating siyang nasa mga alapaap at makikita siya ng lahat, pati ng mga tumusok sa kanya; tatangis ang lahat ng lipi sa lupa dahil sa kanya. Magkagayon nawa. Amen.

“Ako(E) ang Alpha at ang Omega,”[b] sabi ng Panginoong Diyos na Makapangyarihan sa lahat, ang kasalukuyan, nakaraan, at darating.

Isang Pangitain tungkol kay Cristo

Ako'y si Juan, ang inyong kapatid at kasama sa kapighatian at pagtitiis na nararanasan ng mga kabilang sa kanyang kaharian dahil sa pakikipag-isa kay Jesus. Noon ako'y nasa isla ng Patmos sapagkat ipinangaral ko ang salita ng Diyos at nagpatotoo ako para kay Jesus. 10 Noon ay araw ng Panginoon, at habang nasa ilalim ako ng kapangyarihan ng Espiritu, narinig ko mula sa aking likuran ang isang malakas na tinig na parang tunog ng trumpeta. 11 Sabi niya, “Isulat mo sa isang aklat ang iyong nakita, at ipadala mo ito sa pitong iglesya: sa Efeso, Esmirna, Pergamo, Tiatira, Sardis, Filadelfia at Laodicea.”

12 Lumingon ako upang tingnan ang nagsasalita, at nakakita ako ng pitong ilawang ginto. 13 Nakatayo(F) sa gitna ng mga ilawan ang isang parang anak ng tao na nakasuot ng mahabang damit, at may gintong pamigkis sa kanyang dibdib. 14 Ang(G)(H) kanyang ulo at buhok ay kasimputi ng balahibo ng tupa o ng niyebe, at ang kanyang mga mata'y parang apoy na nagliliyab. 15 Kumikinang(I) ang kanyang mga paa na parang tansong pinakintab, at parang rumaragasang tubig ang kanyang tinig. 16 May hawak siyang pitong bituin sa kanang kamay, at lumabas sa kanyang bibig ang isang matalas na tabak na sa magkabila'y may talim. Ang kanyang mukha ay nakakasilaw tulad ng araw sa katanghaliang-tapat.

17 Pagkakita(J) ko sa kanya, para akong patay na bumagsak sa kanyang paanan, ngunit ipinatong niya sa akin ang kanyang kanang kamay at sinabi, “Huwag kang matakot! Ako ang simula at ang wakas, 18 at ang nabubuhay! Namatay ako ngunit tingnan mo, ako'y buháy ngayon at mananatiling buháy magpakailanman. Hawak ko ang mga susi ng kamatayan at ng daigdig ng mga patay.[c] 19 Kaya't isulat mo ang iyong nakikita, ang nangyayari ngayon at ang mangyayari pa pagkatapos nito. 20 Tungkol naman sa hiwaga ng pitong bituing hawak ko sa aking kanang kamay at sa pitong ilawang ginto: ang pitong bituin ay ang mga anghel ng pitong iglesya at ang pitong ilawang ginto ay ang pitong iglesya.

[This is] the revelation of Jesus Christ [His unveiling of the divine mysteries]. God gave it to Him to disclose and make known to His bond servants certain things which must shortly and speedily come to pass [a]in their entirety. And He sent and communicated it through His angel (messenger) to His bond servant John,

Who has testified to and vouched for all that he saw [[b]in his visions], the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Blessed (happy, [c]to be envied) is the man who reads aloud [in the assemblies] the word of this prophecy; and blessed (happy, [d]to be envied) are those who hear [it read] and who keep themselves true to the things which are written in it [heeding them and laying them to heart], for the time [for them to be fulfilled] is near.

John to the seven assemblies (churches) that are in Asia: May grace (God’s unmerited favor) be granted to you and spiritual peace ([e]the peace of Christ’s kingdom) from Him Who is and Who was and Who is to come, and from the seven Spirits [[f]the sevenfold Holy Spirit] before His throne,(A)

And from Jesus Christ the faithful and trustworthy Witness, the Firstborn of the dead [first to be brought back to life] and the Prince (Ruler) of the kings of the earth. To Him Who [g]ever loves us and has [h]once [for all] loosed and freed us from our sins by His own blood,(B)

And formed us into a kingdom (a royal race), priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the power and the majesty and the dominion throughout the ages and forever and ever. Amen (so be it).(C)

Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth shall gaze upon Him and beat their breasts and mourn and lament over Him. Even so [must it be]. Amen (so be it).(D)

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord God, He Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty (the Ruler of all).(E)

I, John, your brother and companion (sharer and participator) with you in the tribulation and kingdom and patient endurance [which are] in Jesus Christ, was on the isle called Patmos, [banished] on account of [my witnessing to] the Word of God and the testimony (the proof, the evidence) for Jesus Christ.

10 I was in the Spirit [rapt in His power] on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a great voice like the calling of a [i]war trumpet,

11 Saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last. Write promptly what you see (your vision) in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia—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 [whose was] the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,

13 And in the midst of the lampstands [One] like a Son of Man, clothed with a robe which reached to His feet and with a girdle of gold about His breast.(F)

14 His head and His hair were white like white wool, [as white] as snow, and His eyes [flashed] like a flame of fire.(G)

15 His feet glowed like burnished (bright) bronze as it is refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters.(H)

16 In His right hand He held seven stars, and from His mouth there came forth a sharp two-edged sword, and His face was like the sun shining in full power at midday.(I)

17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if dead. But He laid His right hand on me and said, Do not be afraid! I am the First and the Last,(J)

18 And the Ever-living One [I am living in the eternity of the eternities]. I died, but see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades (the realm of the dead).

19 Write therefore the things you see, what they are [and signify] and what is to take place hereafter.

20 As to the hidden meaning (the mystery) of the seven stars which you saw on My right hand and the seven lampstands of gold: the seven stars are the seven angels (messengers) of the seven assemblies (churches) and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Greetings and Doxology

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, 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)

To him who loves us(P) and has freed us from our sins by his blood,(Q) and has made us to be a kingdom and priests(R) to serve his God and Father(S)—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.(T)

“Look, he is coming with the clouds,”[b](U)
    and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;(V)
    and all peoples on earth “will mourn(W) because of him.”[c]
So shall it be! Amen.

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

John’s Vision of Christ

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)
