1 This is what God showed to Jesus Christ, so that he could tell his servants what must happen soon. Christ then sent his angel with the message to his servant John. 2 And John told everything he had seen about God's message and about what Jesus Christ had said and done.
3 God will bless everyone who reads this prophecy to others, and he will bless everyone who hears and obeys it. The time is almost here.
4 From John to the seven churches in Asia.
I pray that you
will be blessed
with kindness and peace
from God, who is and was
and is coming.
May you receive
kindness and peace
from the seven spirits
before the throne of God.
5 May kindness and peace
be yours
from Jesus Christ,
the faithful witness.
Jesus was the first
to conquer death,
and he is the ruler
of all earthly kings.
Christ loves us,
and by his blood
he set us free
from our sins.
6 He lets us rule as kings
and serve God his Father
as priests.
To him be glory and power
forever and ever! Amen.
7 Look! He is coming
with the clouds.
Everyone will see him,
even the ones who stuck
a sword through him.
All people on earth
will weep because of him.
Yes, it will happen! Amen.
8 The Lord God says, “I am Alpha and Omega, the one who is and was and is coming. I am God All-Powerful!”
A Vision of the Risen Lord
9 I am John, a follower together with all of you. We suffer because Jesus is our king, but he gives us the strength to endure. I was sent to Patmos Island, because I had preached God's message and had told about Jesus. 10 On the Lord's day the Spirit took control of me, and behind me I heard a loud voice that sounded like a trumpet. 11 The voice said, “Write in a book what you see. Then send it to the seven churches in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12 When I turned to see who was speaking to me, I saw seven gold lampstands. 13 There with the lampstands was someone who seemed to be the Son of Man. He was wearing a robe that reached down to his feet, and a gold cloth was wrapped around his chest. 14 His head and his hair were white as wool or snow, and his eyes looked like flames of fire. 15 His feet were glowing like bronze being heated in a furnace, and his voice sounded like the roar of a waterfall. 16 He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword was coming from his mouth. His face was shining as bright as the sun at noon.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead person. But he put his right hand on me and said:
Don't be afraid! I am the first, the last, 18 and the living one. I died, but now I am alive forever, and I have the keys to death and the world of the dead. 19 Write what you have seen and what is and what will happen after these things. 20 I will explain the mystery of the seven stars you saw at my right side and the seven gold lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the lampstands are the seven churches.
I.
Īvods.
1 Jezus Kristus atklōšona, kuru Dīvs Jam deve, lai Jys sovim kolpim parōdeitu tū, kam dreizumā jōnūteik. Un jys nūsyuteidams sovu engeli sovam kolpam Jōņam tū pasludynōja. 2 Un tys līcynoj par tū, kū Dīvs ir sacejis un Jezus Kristus atklōjis, par vysu, kū jys redzēja.
3 Svēteigs ir tys, kas pravītōjumus losa, kas jūs vōrdus dzērd un uzgloboj tū, kas tur ir raksteits, jo tys laiks jau ir tyvu.
4 Jōņs septeņom Bazneicom Azijā.
Žēlesteiba un mīrs lai ir jums nu Tō, kas ir, kas beja un kas atnōks un nu septenim gorim, kas ir Jō gūda krāsla prīškā, 5 un nu Jezus Kristus, tō uzticeigō līcinīka, pyrmdzymušō nu myrūnim, un zemes kēneņu valdinīka. Tam, kas myusus mīļoj un myusus caur sovu asni ir izpestejis nu grākim, 6 Tam, kas myusus ir padarejis par vaļsteibu, par prīsterim pi Dīva, sova Tāva, Tam lai ir slava un vareiba myužeigi myužam. Amen.
7 Raug, jys atnōk vērs mōkūņim. Jū redzēs ikvīna acs, arī tī, kas Jū pōrdyure un par Jū vaimaņōs vysas vērszemes ciltis. Tys tai byus. Amen.
8 Es asmu Alfa un Omega (īsōkums un beigas), soka Kungs Dīvs, kas ir, kas beja un atnōks, Tys Vysvareigais,
9 Es, Jōņs, Jyusu brōļs, un leidzdaleibnīks spaidūs, Dīva vaļsteibā un pacīteibā ikš Jezus (Kristus), Dīva vōrda un līceibas par Jezu dēļ, es beju uz Patmos solas. 10 Te es Kunga dīnā beju gorā aizgrōbts un nu aizmugures es dzērdēju stypru bolsu, kai tauri, 11 kurs sauce: Tū, kū tu redzi, saroksti grōmotā un nūsyuti septeņom bazneicom (Azijā): Efezā, Smirnā, Pergamā, Tiatirā, Sardē, Filadelfijā un Laodikejā. 12 Un es atsagrīžu, lai radzātu tū bolsu, kas ar mani runōja.
Un kad atsagrīžu, es īraudzeju septeņus zalta lukturus 13 un (septeņu) lukturu vydā kaut kū leidzeigu cylvāka dālam, apvylktu svōrkā, kurs snēdzēs leidz povōrkšom un ap kryutim apjūstu ar zalta jūstu. 14 Golva un moti jam (beja) bolti kai snīgboltō vylna un jō acis kai guņslīsma, 15 jō kōjas kai krōsnē kyustūšais vars, jō bolss kai yudiņa šņōkšona. 16 Sovā lobajā rūkā jys turēja septeņas zvaigznes un nu jō mutes gōja ōrā oss divesmiņu zūbyns. Jō vaigs beja kai saule, kad jei speid pylnā sovā spākā.
17 Jū īraugūt es nūkrytu pi jō kōjom kai nūmiris. Bet jys uzlyka uz manis sovu lobū (rūku) un saceja: Nasabeisti! Es asmu pyrmais un pādejais, 18 un dzeivais. Es beju nūmiris, bet raug, es dzeivoju myužeigi myužam un man ir nōves un eļnes atslāgas. 19 Tai tad roksti, kū esi redzējis, kas tagad ir un kam pēc tam jōnūteik. 20 Septeņu zvaigžņu, kuras tu redzēji munā lobajā, un septeņu zalta lukturu nūslāpums ir sekūšs: Septeņas zvaigznes ir septeņu bazneicu engeli, un septeni lukturi ir septeņas bazneicas.
