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,
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
2 qui testimonium perhibuit verbo Dei, et testimonium Iesu Christi, quaecumque vidit.
who testified to the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.
3 Beatus, qui legit, et audit verba prophetiae huius: et servat ea, quae in ea scripta sunt: tempus enim prope est.
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep what is written in it, for the time is near.
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 churches 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,
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 firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and washed us from our sins with his blood
6 et fecit nos regnum, et sacerdotes Deo et Patri suo: ipsi gloria, et imperium in saecula saeculorum: Amen. (aiōn g165)
and made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to him be the glory and the power 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 terrae: Etiam: Amen.
Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. So shall it be! 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,” 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, quae appellatur Patmos propter verbum Dei, et testimonium Iesu:
I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation, kingdom, and endurance that are in Christ Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and 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 loud voice like that of a trumpet,
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:
saying, “Write what yoʋ see in a book and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12 Et conversus sum ut viderem vocem, quae loquebatur mecum: Et conversus vidi septem candelabra aurea:
Then I turned in that direction to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
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 lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash wrapped 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 like wool, as white as 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 refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar 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.
In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in its strength.
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 as dead. But he placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last,
19 Scribe ergo quae vidisti, et quae sunt, et quae oportet fieri post haec.
Therefore write what yoʋ have seen, what is now and what will take place after this.
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.
This is the mystery of the seven stars that yoʋ saw in my right hand and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
