¹The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

¹Razodetje Jezusa Kristusa, ki mu ga je dal Bog, da pokaže hlapcem svojim, kaj se ima skoraj zgoditi; in je poslal angela svojega in po njem to v znamenjih oznanil hlapcu svojemu Janezu,

²Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

²ki je izpričal besedo Božjo in pričevanje Jezusa Kristusa, karkoli je videl.

³Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

³Blagor mu, kdor bere in njim, ki slišijo besede prorokovanja in hranijo, kar je v njem pisano, kajti čas je blizu.

⁴John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

⁴Janez sedmerim cerkvam, ki so v Aziji: Milost vam in mir od njega, ki je in ki je bil in ki prihaja, in od sedmerih Duhov, ki so pred prestolom njegovim,

⁵And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

⁵in od Jezusa Kristusa, ki je zvesta priča, prvorojenec izmed mrtvih in poglavar kraljev zemlje. Njemu, ki nas ljubi in nas je omil grehov naših v krvi svoji

⁶And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

⁶in nas je storil v kraljestvo in za duhovnike Bogu in Očetu svojemu, njemu slava in moč na vekov veke! Amen.

⁷Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

⁷Glej, prihaja z oblaki; in videlo ga bo vsako oko in tisti, ki so ga prebodli, in žalovali bodo nad njim vsi rodovi zemlje. Gotovo, amen.

⁸I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

⁸Jaz sem Alfa in Omega [Alfa je prva, Oméga pa zadnja črka grške abecede.], začetek in konec, govori Gospod, Bog, ki je in ki je bil in ki prihaja, Vsemogočni.

⁹I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

⁹Jaz Janez, brat vaš in sodeležnik v stiski in v kraljestvu in stanovitnosti v Jezusu, sem bil na otoku, imenovanem Patmu, zavoljo besede Božje in pričevanja Jezusovega.

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

¹⁰Bil sem v Duhu ob dnevi Gospodnjem, in sem slišal za seboj velik glas kakor trombe,

¹¹Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

¹¹govoreče: Kar vidiš, zapiši v knjigo in pošlji sedmerim cerkvam: v Efez in v Smirno in v Pergam in v Tiatire in v Sarde in v Filadelfijo in v Laodicejo.

¹²And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

¹²In obrnil sem se, da bi videl glas, ki je govoril z menoj; in obrnivši se, sem videl sedem svečnikov zlatih

¹³And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

¹³in sredi svečnikov podobnega sinu človečjemu, oblečenega v obleko do tal in opasanega na prsih z zlatim pasom.

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

¹⁴Glava pa njegova in lasje beli kakor bela volna, kakor sneg, in oči njegove kakor plamen ognja,

¹⁵And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

¹⁵in noge njegove podobne svetlemu bronu, kakor v peči razbeljenemu, in glas njegov kakor glas mnogih voda;

¹⁶And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

¹⁶in v desni roki je imel sedem zvezd, in iz ust njegovih je izhajal dvorezen, oster meč, in obličje njegovo je bilo, kakor ko solnce sije v moči svoji.

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

¹⁷In ko sem ga videl, sem padel pred noge njegove kakor mrtev; in položil je name desnico svojo, rekoč: Ne boj se; jaz sem Prvi in Poslednji

¹⁸I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

¹⁸in Živi, in bil sem mrtev, in glej, živ sem na vekov veke, in ključe imam od smrti in smrtne države.

¹⁹Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

¹⁹Zapiši torej, kar si videl in kar je in kar se ima zgoditi potem,skrivnost sedmerih zvezd, ki si jih videl v desnici moji, in sedmero svečnikov zlatih. Sedmere zvezde so angeli sedmerih cerkva, in sedmeri svečniki so sedmere cerkve.

²⁰The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

²⁰skrivnost sedmerih zvezd, ki si jih videl v desnici moji, in sedmero svečnikov zlatih. Sedmere zvezde so angeli sedmerih cerkva, in sedmeri svečniki so sedmere cerkve.
