¹耶稣基督的启示

¹A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify [it], having sent through his messenger to his servant John,

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。

²who did testify the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things also as he did see.

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。

³Happy is he who is reading, and those hearing, the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it — for the time is nigh!

⁴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、以后永在的　神，从他宝座前的七灵，

⁴John to the seven assemblies that [are] in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits that are before His throne,

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，

⁵and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who did love us, and did bathe us from our sins in his blood,

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。

⁶and did make us kings and priests to his God and Father, to him [is] the glory and the power to the ages of the ages! Amen.

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。

⁷Lo, he doth come with the clouds, and see him shall every eye, even those who did pierce him, and wail because of him shall all the tribes of the land. Yes! Amen!

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。”

⁸`I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is coming — the Almighty.`

⁹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。

⁹I, John, who also [am] your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the reign and endurance, of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ;

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，

¹⁰I was in the Spirit on the Lord`s-day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying,

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。”

¹¹`I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last;` and, `What thou dost see, write in a scroll, and send to the seven assemblies that [are] in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.`

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。

¹²And I did turn to see the voice that did speak with me, and having turned, I saw seven golden lamp-stands,

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。

¹³and in the midst of the seven lamp-stands, [one] like to a son of man, clothed to the foot, and girt round at the breast with a golden girdle,

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，

¹⁴and his head and hairs white, as if white wool — as snow, and his eyes as a flame of fire;

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。

¹⁵and his feet like to fine brass, as in a furnace having been fired, and his voice as a sound of many waters,

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。

¹⁶and having in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and his countenance [is] as the sun shining in its might.

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，

¹⁷And when I saw him, I did fall at his feet as dead, and he placed his right hand upon me, saying to me, `Be not afraid; I am the First and the Last,

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。

¹⁸and he who is living, and I did become dead, and, lo, I am living to the ages of the ages. Amen! and I have the keys of the hades and of the death.

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。

¹⁹`Write the things that thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to come after these things;

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。”

²⁰the secret of the seven stars that thou hast seen upon my right hand, and the seven golden lamp-stands: the seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lamp-stands that thou hast seen are seven assemblies.
