مکاشفهٔ یوحنا 1

۱ 1 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،

Jesus Christ's revelation, which God gave Him to show to His slaves—things that must occur shortly. And He communicated it, sending it by His angel to His slave John,

۲ 2 که گواهی داد به کلام خدا و به شهادت عیسی مسیح در اموری که دیده بود.

who gave witness to the word of God, even the testimony of Jesus Christ—the things that He saw, both things that are and those that must happen after these.

۳ 3 خوشابحال کسی‌که می‌خواند و آنانی که می‌شنوند کلام این نبوت را، و آنچه در این مکتوب است نگاه می‌دارند، چونکه وقت نزدیک است.

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; because the time is near.

۴ 4 یوحنا، به هفت کلیسایی که در آسیا هستند.

John, to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him who is and who was and who is coming, and from the sevenfold Spirit who is before His throne,

۵ 5 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،

and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn from among the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins with His own blood

۶ 6 و ما را نزد خدا وپدر خود پادشاهان و کهنه ساخت، او را جلال وتوانایی باد تا ابدالاباد. آمین. (aiōn g165)

—indeed, He made us a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

۷ 7 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!

Take note, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, including those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will beat their breasts [in dismay] because of Him. Yea, verily!

۸ 8 «من هستم الف و یا، اول و آخر، » می‌گویدآن خداوند خدا که هست و بود و می‌آید، قادرعلی الاطلاق.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “He who is and who was and who is coming, The Almighty.”

۹ 9 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.

I, John, your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Christ Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the Word of God and on account of the testimony of Jesus Christ.

۱۰ 10 و در روز خداوند درروح شدم و از عقب خود آوازی بلند چون صدای صور شنیدم،

I was in spirit on the Lord's day and I heard a voice behind me, loud as a trumpet,

۱۱ 11 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.»

saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”

۱۲ 12 پس رو برگردانیدم تا آن آوازی را که با من تکلم می‌نمود بنگرم؛ و چون رو گردانیدم، هفت چراغدان طلا دیدم،

And there I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,

۱۳ 13 و در میان هفت چراغدان، شبیه پسر انسان را که ردای بلند در بر داشت و برسینه وی کمربندی طلا بسته بود،

and in the midst of the seven lampstands one similar to a son of man, clothed down to the feet and girded at the nipples with a golden belt.

۱۴ 14 و سر و موی او سفید چون پشم، مثل برف سفید بود و چشمان او مثل شعله آتش،

Now His head, that is His hair, was white, like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire;

۱۵ 15 و پایهایش مانند برنج صیقلی که در کوره تابیده شود، و آواز او مثل صدای آبهای بسیار؛

and His feet were like fine brass, as when refined in a furnace; and His voice was like the sound of many waters;

۱۶ 16 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.

and He had seven stars on His right hand and a sharp two-edged sword coming out of His mouth; and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

۱۷ 17 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؛

And when I saw Him I fell at His feet as if dead. And He placed His right hand upon me saying: “Do not fear. I am the First and the Last,

۱۸ 18 ومرده شدم و اینک تا ابدالاباد زنده هستم وکلیدهای موت و عالم اموات نزد من است. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)

even the Living One—I became dead, to be sure, and now I am living for ever and ever! Oh yes! And I have the keys of Death and of Hades! (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)

۱۹ 19 پس بنویس چیزهایی را که دیدی و چیزهایی که هستند و چیزهایی را که بعد از این خواهند شد،

Therefore write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are going to occur after these.

۲۰ 20 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.

The mystery of the seven stars which you saw upon my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the messengers of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands that you saw are seven churches.

John on Patmos
