启示录 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶穌基督的啟示
1 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。 2 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。 3 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
4 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, 5 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, 6 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。
7 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。
8 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
9 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。”
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.

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

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)
