Revelation 1
1 [This book tells the message] that God revealed to Jesus Christ. God revealed it to him in order that he might reveal to his servants the [things/events] that must happen soon. Jesus communicated [this message] to [me], his servant John, by sending his angel to me.
V této knize je zapsáno, co Bůh svěřil Ježíši Kristu o budoucích událostech a co Ježíš odhalil svému služebníku Janovi prostřednictvím anděla.
2 [As I write it, I], John, am truthfully reporting everything that I saw [and heard], the message from God that Jesus Christ [truthfully reported to me].
Jan dosvědčuje, že to všechno viděl a zachytil jako Boží slovo sdělené Ježíšem Kristem.
3 [God is] pleased with those who read [this book to the congregations], and he will be pleased with those who listen carefully to it and obey what [he has commanded in this prophetic message that I] am writing. [So read this message to the congregations, listen carefully to it, and obey it], because [these things that Jesus has revealed] will happen soon.
A tak, jestliže čteš nebo posloucháš toto proroctví, uděláš dobře, když se podle něho zařídíš; začne se totiž plnit už brzo.
4 [I], John, am [writing this] to [you believers in] the seven congregations [that are located] in Asia [province]. [I pray that God the Father, God’s Spirit, and Jesus Christ] be kind to (OR, bless) you and cause you to have [inner] peace. [God the Father is] the one who exists, who has always existed, and who will always exist. The Spirit [of God, who] is in front of God’s throne, has [all kinds of power] (OR, The Spirit of God [is symbolized] by seven spirits who are in front of God’s throne).
Já, Jan, chci nejprve pozdravit adresáty, sedm křesťanských sborů v Malé Asii: Přeji vám potěšení a pokoj od Boha, který je, který byl a který přijde; od Ducha svatého, který zastupuje před Božím trůnem každý váš sbor;
5 Jesus Christ is the one who has faithfully told [people about God]. He is the first one (whom God has raised from the dead/who became alive again after being dead), in order [to show that God will raise us who trust in Jesus]. Jesus is the one who rules the kings of the earth. He is the one who loves us. He is the one who has erased the record our sins. He did that by shedding his blood [when he died on the cross].
od Ježíše Krista, který za všemi následujícími slovy věrně stojí. Ten, který jako první vstal z mrtvých a je vládcem všech pozemských panovníků, ten nás miluje a prolil svou krev, aby odčinil naše provinění.
6 He is [the one who] has caused us to become people whose lives God rules, and he has made us to be priests [who serve] God his Father. [As a result of this, we acknowledge that] Jesus Christ is eternally divine and eternally powerful. (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
Tak nás povýšil na spoluvládce svého království a kněze Boha Otce; jemu patří veškerá sláva a moc až na věky. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Listen carefully! Christ will surely come in the midst of the clouds [in order that he may judge the rebellious people of earth], and everyone [SYN] will see him [come]. Even those who [are responsible for] piercing [and killing] him [MTY] [will see him come. People from] all people-groups on earth will mourn because he [will punish them]. (Amen!/May it be so.)
On přijde a ujme se vlády nad celou zemí, takže ho všichni uvidí a zděsí se, dokonce i ti, kteří ho zabili.
8 The Lord God declares, “I am the one who created [everything], and I am the [one who will cause everything to] end [MET].” He is the one who exists, who has always existed, and who will always exist. He is the Almighty One.
Tento Pán říká: „Já jsem začátek i konec – žiji, žil jsem od prvopočátku a bude mi patřit i závěr dějin, protože mám všechnu moc.“
9 I, John, your fellow believer, am suffering as you [are] because of our letting Jesus rule [our lives]. We are steadfastly enduring [trials] because of our relationship with him. I was punished by being sent/exiled to Patmos island because [of my proclaiming] God’s message and telling [people about] Jesus.
Já, váš bratr Jan, spolu s vámi pronásledovaný a s vámi očekávající Kristovo království, byl jsem vyhnán na ostrov Patmos, protože jsem hlásal Boží slovo a svědčil o Ježíši Kristu.
10 [God’s] Spirit took control of me on one of the days [that we believers met to worship] the Lord.
A zde jsem byl v duchu přenesen do událostí posledního dění. Zezadu na mne volal hlas, zvučný jako polnice:
11 [At that time], I heard behind me someone [speaking to me as loudly and as clearly] [SIM] as a trumpet. He was saying [to me], “Write on a scroll what you see, and send it to seven congregations. Send it to [the congregations] in Ephesus [city], in Smyrna [city], in Pergamum [city], in Thyatira [city], in Sardis [city], in Philadelphia [city], and in Laodicea [city].”
„Co uvidíš a uslyšíš, zapiš do knihy a pošli to sedmi sborům v Malé Asii – do Efezu, Smyrny, Pergama, Tyatiry, Sard, Filadelfie a Laodiceje.“
12 [In this vision] I turned in order that I might see who had spoken to me [SYN]. When I turned,
Otočil jsem se za tím hlasem a uviděl jsem sedm zlatých svícnů.
13 I saw seven golden lampstands. In the midst of the lampstands there was [someone] who looked like he came from heaven. He wore a robe that reached to his feet, and he wore a gold band around his chest.
Mezi nimi stála postava podobná Ježíši Kristu, oblečená do dlouhého pláště, sepnutého přes prsa zlatou šerpou.
14 The hair on his head was white like white wool [or] like snow. His eyes were [shining brightly] [SIM], like a flame of fire.
Jeho obličej svítil jako polední slunce a vlasy jako sněhobílá vlna. Oči mu zářily jako oheň
15 His feet [looked] like brass that glows [as it is being] purified {as [people] purify it} in a furnace. [When he spoke], his voice [sounded] like the sound [made by] a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide river of rushing water).
a také jeho nohy žhnuly jako rozpálená mosaz. Jeho hlas hřměl jako mořský příboj.
16 In his right hand he held seven stars. A sword that had two sharp edges extended from his mouth. His face [shone as bright] as the sun shines [at midday] [MTY].
V pravé ruce držel sedm hvězd a v ústech měl ostře nabroušený meč.
17 When I saw him, I fell down at his feet [and was unable to move or speak] [SIM], as though [I were] dead. But he put his right hand on me and said to me, “Don’t be afraid! I am the one who created [all things] and the [one who will cause all things to] end.
Když jsem ho uviděl, ulekl jsem se a padl před ním na zem. Ale on na mne položil ruku a řekl mi: „Neboj se! To jsem já, První i Poslední.
19 So write the [vision] that you are seeing. Write about the [conditions] that exist now, and the [events] that are about to happen next.
Zapiš všechno, co vidíš a co ti ještě ukáži.
20 The meaning of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and the seven golden lampstands [that you saw is this]: The seven stars [in my hand represent the leaders, who are like] angels, [who watch over] the seven congregations, and the [seven] lampstands [represent] the seven congregations.”
Abys dobře rozuměl tomu, co vidíš: Sedm svícnů je sedm sborů; sedm hvězd jsou ti, kteří za ně přede mnou nesou odpovědnost a jsou pod mou ochranou.“
