1 Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to shew to his bondmen what must shortly take place; and he signified {it}, sending by his angel, to his bondman John,

2 who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all things that he saw.

3 Blessed {is} he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written in it; for the time {is} near.

4 John to the seven assemblies which {are} in Asia: Grace to you and peace from {him} who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits which {are} before his throne;

5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in his blood,

6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father: to him {be} the glory and the might to the ages of ages. Amen.

7 Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen.

8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith {the} Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.

9 I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience, in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.

10 I became in {the} Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,

11 saying, What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

12 And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps,

13 and in the midst of the {seven} lamps {one} like {the} Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle:

14 his head and hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;

15 and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;

16 and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power.

17 And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; *I* am the first and the last,

18 and the living one: and I became dead, and behold, I am living to the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades.

19 Write therefore what thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to be after these.

20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou hast seen on my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. -The seven stars are angels of the seven assemblies; and the seven lamps are seven assemblies.

1 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。

2 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。

3 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。

4 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、以后永在的 神， 从他宝座前的七灵，

5 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，

6 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。

7 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捶胸。这是必定的， 阿们。

8 主 神说： "我是阿拉法， 我是俄梅格； 我是今在、昔在、以后永在， 全能的 神。"

9 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， 好像号筒的响声，

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 灯台中间有一位好像人子的， 身上穿着直垂到脚的长衣， 胸间束着金带。

14 他的头和头发像白羊毛、像雪一样洁白， 他的眼睛好像火焰，

15 他的两脚好像在炉中精炼过的发光的铜， 他的声音好像众水的声音。

16 他的右手拿着七星， 有一把两刃的利剑从他口中吐出来； 他的脸发光好像正午的烈日。

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。"
