耶穌基督的啟示

耶穌基督的啟示,就是 神賜給他,叫他把快要發生的事指示他的眾僕人。他就差派天使顯示給他的僕人約翰。 約翰把 神的道,和耶穌基督的見證,凡是自己所看見的,都見證出來了。 讀這書上預言的人,和那些聽見這預言並且遵守書中記載的人,都是有福的!因為時候近了。

問候七教會

約翰寫信給在亞西亞的七個教會。願恩惠平安,從那位今在、昔在、以後要來的 神,從他寶座前的七靈, 又從那信實的見證人、死人中首先復生的、地上眾君王的統治者耶穌基督臨到你們。

他愛我們,用自己的血把我們從我們的罪中釋放出來, 又使我們成為國度,作他父 神的祭司。願榮耀權能都歸給他,直到永永遠遠。阿們。

看哪,他駕著雲降臨,

每一個人都要看見他,

連那些刺過他的人也要看見他,

地上的萬族都要因他哀號。

這是必定的,阿們。

主 神說:“我是阿拉法,我是俄梅格;我是今在、昔在、以後要來,全能的 神。”

基督向約翰顯現

我約翰,就是你們的弟兄,在耶穌裡跟你們一同分享患難、國度和忍耐的,為了 神的道和耶穌的見證,曾經在那名叫拔摩的海島上。 10 有一個主日,我在靈裡,聽見在我後邊有一個大聲音,好像號筒的響聲, 11 說:“你所看見的,要寫在書上,也要寄給以弗所、士每拿、別迦摩、推雅推拉、撒狄、非拉鐵非、老底嘉七個教會。”

12 我轉過身來要看看那跟我說話的聲音是誰發的;一轉過來,就看見七個金燈臺。 13 燈臺中間有一位好像人子的,身上穿著直垂到腳的長衣,胸間束著金帶。 14 他的頭和頭髮像白羊毛、像雪一樣潔白,他的眼睛好像火燄, 15 他的兩腳好像在爐中精煉過的發光的銅,他的聲音好像眾水的聲音。 16 他的右手拿著七星,有一把兩刃的利劍從他口中吐出來;他的臉發光好像正午的烈日。

17 我看見了他,就仆倒在他腳前,像死了一樣。他用右手按著我,說:“不要怕!我是首先的,我是末後的, 18 又是永活的;我曾經死過,看哪,現在又活著,直活到永永遠遠,並且拿著死亡和陰間的鑰匙。 19 所以,你要把所看見的,現在的,和今後將要發生的事都寫下來。 20 你所看見在我右手中的七星和七個金燈臺的奧祕就是這樣:七星是七個教會的使者,七燈臺是七個教會。”

John Tells About This Book

This is the revelation[a] of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show his servants what must soon happen. And Jesus sent his angel to show it to his servant John, who has told everything he has seen. It is the word of God; it is the message from Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads the words of God’s message, and blessed are the people who hear this message and do what is written in it. The time is near when all of this will happen.

Jesus’ Message to the Churches

From John.

To the seven churches in Asia:

Grace and peace to you from the One who is and was and is coming, and from the seven spirits before his throne, and from Jesus Christ. Jesus is the faithful witness, the first among those raised from the dead. He is the ruler of the kings of the earth.

He is the One who loves us, who made us free from our sins with the blood of his death. He made us to be a kingdom of priests who serve God his Father. To Jesus Christ be glory and power forever and ever! Amen.

Look, Jesus is coming with the clouds, and everyone will see him, even those who stabbed him. And all peoples of the earth will cry loudly because of him. Yes, this will happen! Amen.

The Lord God says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega.[b] I am the One who is and was and is coming. I am the Almighty.”

I, John, am your brother. All of us share with Christ in suffering, in the kingdom, and in patience to continue. I was on the island of Patmos,[c] because I had preached the word of God and the message about Jesus. 10 On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard a loud voice behind me that sounded like a trumpet. 11 The voice said, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”

12 I turned to see who was talking to me. When I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands 13 and someone among the lampstands who was “like a Son of Man.”[d] He was dressed in a long robe and had a gold band around his chest. 14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like flames of fire. 15 His feet were like bronze that glows hot in a furnace, and his voice was like the noise of flooding water. 16 He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword came out of his mouth. He looked like the sun shining at its brightest time.

17 When I saw him, I fell down at his feet like a dead man. He put his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the One who lives; I was dead, but look, I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys to death and to the place of the dead. 19 So write the things you see, what is now and what will happen later. 20 Here is the secret of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and the seven golden lampstands: The seven lampstands are the seven churches, and the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches.

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。 約翰便為自己所看見的一切——上帝的道和耶穌基督做見證。 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, 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!

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!

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

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。

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)

So shall it be! Amen.

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)
