Apocalypsis 1
1 Apocalypsis Iesu Christi, quam dedit illi Deus palam facere servis suis, quae oportet fieri cito: et significavit, mittens per Angelum suum servo suo Ioanni,
A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify [it], having sent through his messenger to his servant John,
2 qui testimonium perhibuit verbo Dei, et testimonium Iesu Christi, quaecumque vidit.
who did testify the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things also as he did see.
3 Beatus, qui legit, et audit verba prophetiae huius: et servat ea, quae in ea scripta sunt: tempus enim prope est.
Happy is he who is reading, and those hearing, the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it — for the time is nigh!
4 Ioannes septem Ecclesiis, quae 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 assemblies that [are] in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits that are before His throne,
5 et a Iesu Christo, qui est testis fidelis, primogenitus mortuorum, et princeps regum terrae, qui dilexit nos, et lavit nos a peccatis nostris in sanguine suo,
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who did love us, and did bathe us from our sins in his blood,
6 et fecit nos regnum, et sacerdotes Deo et Patri suo: ipsi gloria, et imperium in saecula saeculorum: Amen. (aiōn g165)
and did make us kings and priests to his God and Father, to him [is] the glory and the power to the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Ecce venit cum nubibus, et videbit eum omnis oculus, et qui eum pupugerunt. Et plangent se super eum omnes tribus terrae: Etiam: Amen.
Lo, he doth come with the clouds, and see him shall every eye, even those who did pierce him, and wail because of him shall all the tribes of the land. Yes! Amen!
8 Ego sum alpha, et omega, principium, et finis, dicit Dominus Deus: qui est, et qui erat, et qui venturus est, omnipotens.
'I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is coming — the Almighty.'
9 Ego Ioannes frater vester, et particeps in tribulatione, et regno et patientia in Christo Iesu: fui in insula, quae appellatur Patmos propter verbum Dei, et testimonium Iesu:
I, John, who also [am] your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the reign and endurance, of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ;
10 Fui in spiritu in Dominica die, et audivi post me vocem magnam tamquam tubae,
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's-day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying,
11 dicentis: Quod vides, scribe in libro: et mitte septem Ecclesiis, quae sunt in Asia, Epheso, et Smyrnae, et Pergamo, et Thyatirae, et Sardis, et Philadelphiae, et Laodiciae:
'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last;' and, 'What thou dost see, write in a scroll, and send to the seven assemblies that [are] in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.'
12 Et conversus sum ut viderem vocem, quae loquebatur mecum: Et conversus vidi septem candelabra aurea:
And I did turn to see the voice that did speak with me, and having turned, I saw seven golden lamp-stands,
13 et in medio septem candelabrorum aureorum similem filio hominis, vestitum podere, et praecinctum ad mamillas zona aurea:
and in the midst of the seven lamp-stands, [one] like to a son of man, clothed to the foot, and girt round at the breast with a golden girdle,
14 caput autem eius, et capilli erant candidi tamquam lana alba, et tamquam nix, et oculi eius tamquam flamma ignis,
and his head and hairs white, as if white wool — as snow, and his eyes as a flame of fire;
15 et pedes eius similes aurichalco, sicut in camino ardenti, et vox illius tamquam vox aquarum multarum:
and his feet like to fine brass, as in a furnace having been fired, and his voice as a sound 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.
and having in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and his countenance [is] as the sun shining in its might.
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,
And when I saw him, I did fall at his feet as dead, and he placed his right hand upon me, saying to me, 'Be not afraid; I am the First and the Last,
19 Scribe ergo quae vidisti, et quae sunt, et quae oportet fieri post haec.
'Write the things that thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to come after these things;
20 Sacramentum septem stellarum, quas vidisti in dextera mea, et septem candelabra aurea: septem stellae Angeli sunt septem Ecclesiarum: et candelabra septem, septem Ecclesiae sunt.
the secret of the seven stars that thou hast seen upon my right hand, and the seven golden lamp-stands: the seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lamp-stands that thou hast seen are seven assemblies.
