O Livro
Introdução
1 Este livro revela acontecimentos que se hão de dar num futuro próximo, dizendo respeito a Jesus Cristo, e que Deus revelou por intermédio de João, seu servo, a quem foi enviado um anjo para lhe explicar o significado dessas coisas. 2 E João dá aqui testemunho das palavras de Deus, do que lhe foi revelado por Jesus Cristo, e do que viu e ouviu.
3 Felizes aqueles que lerem o conteúdo desta profecia, e também os que ouvirem e aceitarem tudo o que nela está escrito, porque está próximo o tempo.
Saudações
4 João, às sete igrejas da província da Ásia.
Que vos sejam concedidas a graça e a paz daquele que é, que era e que há de vir, e também dos sete espíritos que se acham diante do seu trono, 5 assim como da parte de Jesus Cristo, a testemunha fiel, o primeiro dos ressuscitados, o soberano dos reis da Terra.
A esse que nos ama e nos lavou dos nossos pecados pelo seu sangue, 6 nos reuniu no seu reino e nos fez sacerdotes de Deus, seu Pai, seja dada toda a honra e reconhecido o seu poder para sempre. Que assim seja!
7 Eis que ele vem rodeado de nuvens,
e toda a gente o verá,
até mesmo aqueles que o trespassaram.[a]
E as nações se lamentarão por causa dele.
Sim, isso é que há de acontecer!
8 “Eu sou o Alfa e o Ómega”,[b] diz o Senhor Deus, Todo-Poderoso, que é, que era, e que virá!
A visão do Filho do Homem
9 Eu, João, sou vosso irmão em Jesus e companheiro nos sofrimentos, na paciência e no reino. Estava eu exilado na ilha de Patmos, por ter pregado a palavra de Deus e falado sobre Jesus Cristo, 10 quando, no dia do Senhor, fui tomado pelo Espírito e ouvi uma voz muito forte por detrás de mim, com um timbre semelhante ao de uma trombeta. 11 E dizia: “Põe por escrito aquilo que vires e envia-o às sete igrejas que estão na província da Ásia: Éfeso, Esmirna, Pérgamo, Tiatira, Sardo, Filadélfia e Laodiceia.”
12 Na altura em que me virei para saber quem é que estava a falar comigo, vi sete castiçais de ouro. 13 E no meio deles estava o Filho do Homem. Trazia um manto que lhe chegava aos pés e uma faixa de ouro em volta do peito. 14 Os seus cabelos eram brancos como a lã, ou como a neve, e os olhos brilhavam como chamas ardentes. 15 Os pés reluziam como bronze polido e a sua voz tinha a majestade das grandes vagas. 16 Segurava na mão direita sete estrelas e na boca uma afiada espada de dois fios; o esplendor do seu rosto era como o do Sol na sua maior força.
17 Quando o vi, caí a seus pés como morto. Mas ele pôs sobre mim a mão direita e disse-me: “Não tenhas medo! Sou eu, o primeiro e o último! 18 Sou aquele que está vivo! Que foi morto, mas agora vive eternamente. Eu tenho as chaves da morte e do inferno. 19 Escreve o que tens visto e que diz respeito tanto ao tempo presente como ao futuro. 20 Este é o significado das sete estrelas que viste na minha mão direita, assim como dos sete castiçais de ouro: as sete estrelas são os mensageiros[c] das sete igrejas e os sete castiçais são as próprias igrejas.

Greetings and Doxology
4 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, 5 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) 6 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)
7 “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.
8 “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
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)

Greeting to the Seven Churches
4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia:
Grace to you and peace from (I)him (J)who is and (K)who was and who is to come, and from (L)the seven spirits who are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ (M)the faithful witness, (N)the firstborn of the dead, and (O)the ruler of kings on earth.
To (P)him who loves us and (Q)has freed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us (R)a kingdom, (S)priests to (T)his God and Father, to him be (U)glory and (V)dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, (W)he is coming with the clouds, and (X)every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail[b] on account of him. Even so. Amen.

Vision of the Son of Man
9 I, John, your brother and (AA)partner in (AB)the tribulation and (AC)the kingdom and (AD)the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos (AE)on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 (AF)I was in the Spirit (AG)on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice (AH)like a trumpet 11 saying, (AI)“Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, 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 the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw (AJ)seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands (AK)one like (AL)a son of man, (AM)clothed with a long robe and (AN)with a golden sash around his chest. 14 (AO)The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. (AP)His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 (AQ)his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and (AR)his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 (AS)In his right hand he held seven stars, (AT)from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and (AU)his face was like the sun shining (AV)in full strength.
17 (AW)When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But (AX)he laid his right hand on me, (AY)saying, “Fear not, (AZ)I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. (BA)I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and (BB)I have the keys of Death and Hades. 19 (BC)Write therefore (BD)the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this. 20 As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and (BE)the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and (BF)the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
