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,
2 qui testimonium perhibuit Verbo Dei, et testimonium Iesu Christi, quæcumque vidit.
who testified to God's word, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.
3 Beatus, qui legit, et audit verba Prophetiæ huius: et servat ea, quæ in ea scripta sunt: tempus enim prope est.
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.
4 Ioannes septem Ecclesiis, quæ sunt in Asia. Gratia vobis, et pax ab eo, qui est, et qui erat, et qui venturus est: et a septem Spiritibus, qui in conspectu throni eius sunt:
John, to the seven churches that 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 who are before his throne;
5 et a Iesu Christo, qui est testis fidelis, primogenitus mortuorum, et princeps regum terræ, qui dilexit nos, et lavit nos a peccatis nostris in sanguine suo,
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 freed us from our sins by his blood;
6 et fecit nos regnum, et sacerdotes Deo et Patri suo: ipsi gloria, et imperium in sæcula sæculorum: Amen. (aiōn g165)
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)
7 Ecce venit cum nubibus, et videbit eum omnis oculus, et qui eum pupugerunt. Et plangent se super eum omnes tribus terræ: Etiam: Amen.
Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
8 Ego sum α, et ω, principium, et finis, dicit Dominus Deus: qui est, et qui erat, et qui venturus est, omnipotens.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
9 Ego Ioannes frater vester, et particeps in tribulatione, et regno et patientia in Christo Iesu: fui in insula, quæ appellatur Patmos propter Verbum Dei, et testimonium Iesu:
I John, your brother and fellow-partner with you in persecution, Kingdom, and patient endurance in Jesus, was on the island that is called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
10 Fui in Spiritu in Dominica die, et audivi post me vocem magnam tamquam tubæ,
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
11 dicentis: Quod vides, scribe in libro: et mitte septem Ecclesiis, quæ sunt in Asia, Epheso, et Smyrnæ, et Pergamo, et Thyatiræ, et Sardis, et Philadelphiæ, et Laodiciæ:
saying, "What you see, write on a scroll and send to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
12 Et conversus sum ut viderem vocem, quæ loquebatur mecum: Et conversus vidi septem candelabra aurea:
I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands.
13 et in medio septem candelabrorum aureorum, similem Filio hominis, vestitum podere, et præcinctum ad mamillas zona aurea:
And among the lampstands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
14 caput autem eius, et capilli erant candidi tamquam lana alba, et tamquam nix, et oculi eius tamquam flamma ignis,
His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
15 et pedes eius similes aurichalco, sicut in camino ardenti, et vox illius tamquam vox aquarum multarum:
His feet were like burnished bronze, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
16 et habebat in dextera sua stellas septem: et de ore eius gladius utraque parte acutus exibat: et facies eius sicut sol lucet in virtute sua.
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.
17 Et cum vidissem eum, cecidi ad pedes eius tamquam mortuus. Et posuit dexteram suam super me, dicens: Noli timere: ego sum primus, et novissimus,
When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last,
19 Scribe ergo quæ vidisti, et quæ sunt, et quæ oportet fieri post hæc.
Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter;
20 Sacramentum septem stellarum, quas vidisti in dextera mea, et septem candelabra aurea: septem stellæ Angeli sunt septem Ecclesiarum: et candelabra septem, septem Ecclesiæ sunt.
the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches. The seven lampstands are seven churches.
