\subsection{Revelation 1}
|
|
\VS{1} [The] revelation of \Iesous the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One], which God gave to him, to show to his slaves
|
|
what [things] must swiftly come to pass, and he communicated [it], having sent [it] through his angel to his slave \John,
|
|
\VS{2} who testified of the word of God and
|
|
the testimony of \Iesous the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One], as much as he saw.
|
|
\VS{3} Blessed [is] the [one]
|
|
reading and those hearing the words of [this] prophecy and keeping the [things] written in it, for the opportune-time\fnKairos{} [is] near.
|
|
\VS{4} \John to the seven assemblies\fnEkklhsia{} in Asia:
|
|
grace to you and peace from the [one who] is and [who] was and [who] comes, and from the seven spirits which [are] before his throne,
|
|
\VS{5} and from \Iesous the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One], the
|
|
trustworthy witness, the first-born of the dead and the ruler of the
|
|
kingdoms of the land. To the [one] agape-loving us and having washed us from our
|
|
sins in his blood,
|
|
\VS{6} and [who] made us kings, priests to his God and father,
|
|
to him [be] the glory and the strength to the eternity of eternities, Amen.
|
|
|
|
\VS{7} Behold he comes with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and
|
|
those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the land will mourn upon him,
|
|
yes, Amen.
|
|
\VS{8} I am the ``A'' and the ``Z''\footnote{literally ``the Alpha and
|
|
the Omega'' --- the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet}, says the
|
|
Lord God, the [one who] is and [who] was and [who] comes, the almighty.
|
|
|
|
\VS{9} I \John, your brother and partner in the distress and kingdom and
|
|
endurance of \Iesous, came to be in the island called Patmos because of the
|
|
word of God and the testimony of \Iesous.
|
|
\VS{10} I came to be in [the] spirit on
|
|
the Lord's day, and I heard behind me [a] great voice as [a] trumpet
|
|
\VS{11} saying: What you see, write in [a] scroll and send [it] to the seven
|
|
assemblies\fnEkklhsia{} in Ephesus and in Smyrna and in Pergamon and in Thyatira and
|
|
in Sardis and in Philadelphia and in Laodecia.
|
|
\VS{12} And I turned to be seeing the voice
|
|
which spoke with me, and having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,
|
|
\VS{13} and in the midst of the lampstands [one] like [the] son of man, clothed to
|
|
[his] feet and girded around the breasts with [a] golden girdle.
|
|
\VS{14} And his
|
|
head and his hair [were] white as wool, white as snow, and his eyes [were] as [a] flame of fire,
|
|
\VS{15} and his feet like fine-brass as fired in a furnace, and his
|
|
voice [was] as the voice of many waters,
|
|
\VS{16} and [he was] having in [his] right hand seven
|
|
stars, and from his mouth [was] proceeding [a] sharp two-edged broad-sword, and his
|
|
face shines as the sun in its power.
|
|
\VS{17} And when I saw him, I fell
|
|
before his feet as dead, and he placed his right hand upon me saying: Be not
|
|
fearing, I am the first and the last,
|
|
\VS{18} and the zoe-living\fnZoe{}, and I became
|
|
dead and behold I am zoe-living\fnZoe{} to the eternity of eternities, and I have the
|
|
keys of death and of Hades\fnHades{}.
|
|
\VS{19} Write therefore what you saw and what is
|
|
and what is [about] to come to pass after these [things].
|
|
\VS{20} The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand,
|
|
and the seven lampstands of gold: The seven stars are [the] angels of the seven
|
|
assemblies\fnEkklhsia{}, and the lampstands are the seven churches.
