< Revelation 1 >

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John:
مکاشفه عیسی مسیح که خدا به او داد تا اموری را که می‌باید زود واقع شود، برغلامان خود ظاهر سازد و بوسیله فرشته خودفرستاده، آن را ظاهر نمود بر غلام خود یوحنا،۱
2 Who bore witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
که گواهی داد به کلام خدا و به شهادت عیسی مسیح در اموری که دیده بود.۲
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it: for the time is at hand.
خوشابحال کسی‌که می‌خواند و آنانی که می‌شنوند کلام این نبوت را، و آنچه در این مکتوب است نگاه می‌دارند، چونکه وقت نزدیک است.۳
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be 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;
یوحنا، به هفت کلیسایی که در آسیا هستند.۴
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
و از عیسی مسیح که شاهد امین ونخست زاده از مردگان و رئیس پادشاهان جهان است. مر او را که ما را محبت می‌نماید و ما را ازگناهان ما به خون خود شست،۵
6 And hath made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
و ما را نزد خدا وپدر خود پادشاهان و کهنه ساخت، او را جلال وتوانایی باد تا ابدالاباد. آمین. (aiōn g165)۶
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also who pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
اینک با ابرها می‌آید و هر چشمی او راخواهد دید و آنانی که او را نیزه زدند و تمامی امت های جهان برای وی خواهند نالید. بلی!۷
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
«من هستم الف و یا، اول و آخر، » می‌گویدآن خداوند خدا که هست و بود و می‌آید، قادرعلی الاطلاق.۸
9 I 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.
من یوحنا که برادر شما و شریک در مصیبت و ملکوت و صبر در عیسی مسیح هستم، بجهت کلام خدا و شهادت عیسی مسیح در جزیره‌ای مسمی به پطمس شدم.۹
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
و در روز خداوند درروح شدم و از عقب خود آوازی بلند چون صدای صور شنیدم،۱۰
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
که می‌گفت: «من الف و یاو اول و آخر هستم. آنچه می‌بینی در کتابی بنویس و آن را به هفت کلیسایی که در آسیاهستند، یعنی به افسس و اسمیرنا و پرغامس وطیاتیرا و ساردس و فیلادلفیه و لائودکیه بفرست.»۱۱
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands;
پس رو برگردانیدم تا آن آوازی را که با من تکلم می‌نمود بنگرم؛ و چون رو گردانیدم، هفت چراغدان طلا دیدم،۱۲
13 And in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the breasts with a golden band.
و در میان هفت چراغدان، شبیه پسر انسان را که ردای بلند در بر داشت و برسینه وی کمربندی طلا بسته بود،۱۳
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
و سر و موی او سفید چون پشم، مثل برف سفید بود و چشمان او مثل شعله آتش،۱۴
15 And his feet like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
و پایهایش مانند برنج صیقلی که در کوره تابیده شود، و آواز او مثل صدای آبهای بسیار؛۱۵
16 And 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.
و در دست راست خود هفت ستاره داشت و از دهانش شمشیری دودمه تیز بیرون می‌آمد و چهره‌اش چون آفتاب بود که در قوتش می‌تابد.۱۶
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
و چون او را دیدم، مثل مرده پیش پایهایش افتادم و دست راست خود را بر من نهاده، گفت: «ترسان مباش! من هستم اول و آخر و زنده؛۱۷
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
ومرده شدم و اینک تا ابدالاباد زنده هستم وکلیدهای موت و عالم اموات نزد من است. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)۱۸
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be after this;
پس بنویس چیزهایی را که دیدی و چیزهایی که هستند و چیزهایی را که بعد از این خواهند شد،۱۹
20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lampstands which thou sawest are the seven churches.
سر هفت ستاره‌ای را که در دست راست من دیدی و هفت چراغدان طلا را. اما هفت ستاره، فرشتگان هفت کلیسا هستند و هفت چراغدان، هفت کلیسا می‌باشند.۲۰
