Revelation 1
1 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, John,
这是上帝赐予耶稣基督的启示，是为了向他的仆人们展示即将发生的事情。上帝派天使向其仆人约翰
2 who testified to God’s word and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.
做出这一显示，约翰证实了他所看到的、关于上帝之道和耶稣基督见证的一切。
3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is near.
能读到这启示之人有福了， 还有那些听见这预言、专注于所写内容之人，都有福了！因为那个时间将至。
4 John, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;
这封信来自约翰，写给亚西亚的七个教会。愿那位过去、现在和未来都会到来的那一位，还有他宝座前的七灵，
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—
以及那值得信赖的见证人、从死亡中首次诞生的、人间众君王的统治者耶稣基督，赐予你们恩典和平安。至爱我们的耶稣，用自己的血把我们从我们的罪中释放出来，
6 and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
又让我们成为他的国，作他父上帝的祭司。愿荣耀和权能都归给耶稣，直到永远。阿门。 (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
看，他在云朵围绕中来临，每个人都应看见他，包括那些杀死他的人。地上的所有人都因他而哭泣。但愿如此！阿门。
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
那过去、现在和以后都会来的全能主上帝说：“我是始也是终，”
9 I John, your brother and partner with you in the oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God’s Word and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
我是约翰，你们的兄弟，在耶稣中与你们共同痛苦，分享这个国，一起忍耐。为了分享上帝的道以及耶稣显化的真理，我被关在一个叫做拔摩的海岛上。
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
在一个主日， 我被灵注满，听见在我后边发出很大的声音，像是号角，
11 saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
那声音告诉我：“把你所看到的写成书，寄给七个教会：以弗所、士每拿、别迦摩、推雅推拉、撒狄、非拉铁非和老底嘉。”
12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
我转过身，想去看看是谁；转过身，看见七个金灯台。
13 And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
灯台中间好像有一个人，看起来像是人子，身上穿着直垂双脚的长袍，胸间束着金带。
14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
他的头发像白羊毛、双眼好似燃烧的火焰。
15 His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
他的双脚好像在活炉中炼过的亮光铜，声音好似震耳欲聋的瀑布。
16 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
他的右手拿着七颗星星，口中吐出双刃利剑，面孔发光，好似最亮的烈日。
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last,
我看到他便扑倒在他脚前，如死了一般。但他用右手按我并说：“不要怕！我是最初，我是最后，
19 Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.
所以，把你所看见、正在发生和未来将要发生的事情，都写下来。
20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.
你看我右手的七星和七个金灯台, 它的含义就是：七星是四个教会的七位天使，七个灯台就是七个教会。”
