1  The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him to show His servants the[ ]things which must come to pass quickly. And He made it known by sending it through His angel to His servant John,

2  who testified to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as He saw, both the things that are and those that must happen after these.

2  who bare witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, [even] of all things that he saw.

3  Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and who keep the things having been written in it; for the time is near.

3  Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein: for the time is at hand.

4  John, to the seven churches [which are] in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the seven-fold Spirit who is before His throne,

4  John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne;

5  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 who washed us from our sins in His own blood,

6  and He made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

6  and who has made us into a kingdom and into priests for God and for his Father. To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

7  Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will wail because of Him. Even so, Amen!

7  Behold, he arrives with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, even those who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth shall lament for themselves over him. Even so. Amen.

8  "I am the Alpha and the Omega,"says YHWH God, "He who is and He who was and He who is to come, The Almighty."

8  “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.

8  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

9  I, John, your brother and partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Christ Jesus, came to be on the island that is called Patmos on account of the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

10  I was in [the ]Spirit on YHWH's Day, and I heard a loud voice like a trumpet behind me,

10  The Spirit of prophecy came upon me on the LORDÆS day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and,

11  saying, "That which you see, write in a book and send to the seven churches: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."

11  Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

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

12  And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And having turned I saw seven golden candlesticks;

12  And I turned around, so as to see the voice which was speaking with me. And having turned around, I saw seven golden lampstands.

13  and in the midst of the seven lampstands [stood One] like [the] Son of Man, having been clothed in a [robe] reaching to [His] feet and having been girded across [His] chest with a golden belt.

13  and in the midst of the candlesticks one like unto a son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle.

14  And His head and His hair were white, and like white wool, like snow, and His eyes [were ]like a flame of fire;

14  But his head and hair were bright, like white wool, or like snow; and his eyes were like a flame of fire;

14  His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

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

15  and his feet resembled shining brass, just as in a burning furnace; and his voice was like the voice of many waters.

16  He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was as the sun shining in its strength.

16  And in his right hand, he held the seven stars; and from his mouth went out a sharp two-edged sword; and his face was like the sun, shining with all its might.

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.

17  And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as [if] dead. But He put His right hand on me, saying, "Do not fear; I am the First and the Last.

17  And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet, like one who is dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.

18  I am He who lives, and became dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

18  and the Living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

19  Write therefore the things which you saw, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter.

19  Therefore, write the things which you have seen, and which are, and which must occur afterward

20  The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.
