Revelation 1

1The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John,

αποκαλυψις ιησου χριστου, ην εδωκεν αυτω ο θεος, δειξαι τοις δουλοις αυτου α δει γενεσθαι εν ταχει, και εσημανεν αποστειλας δια του αγγελου αυτου τω δουλω αυτου ιωαννη,

2who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw.

ος εμαρτυρησεν τον λογον του θεου και την μαρτυριαν ιησου χριστου, οσα ειδεν.

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

μακαριος ο αναγινωσκων και οι ακουοντες τους λογους της προφητειας και τηρουντες τα εν αυτη γεγραμμενα· ο γαρ καιρος εγγυς.

4John, to the seven churches which 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 who are before His throne,

ιωαννης ταις επτα εκκλησιαις ταις εν τη ασια· χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο [θεου,] ο ων και ο ην και ο ερχομενος, και απο των επτα πνευματων, α ενωπιον του θρονου αυτου,

5and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth.

και απο ιησου χριστου, ο μαρτυς ο πιστος, ο πρωτοτοκος των νεκρων και ο αρχων των βασιλεων της γης. τω αγαπωντι ημας και λουσαντι ημας απο των αμαρτιων ημων εν τω αιματι αυτου,

6To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

και εποιησεν ημας βασιλειαν, ιερεις τω θεω και πατρι αυτου, αυτω η δοξα και το κρατος εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων· αμην.

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

ιδου ερχεται μετα των νεφελων, και οψεται αυτον πας οφθαλμος και οιτινες αυτον εξεκεντησαν, και κοψονται επ αυτον πασαι αι φυλαι της γης. ναι, αμην.

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

εγω ειμι το α και το ω, λεγει κυριος ο θεος, ο ων και ο ην και ο ερχομενος, ο παντοκρατωρ.

9I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

εγω ιωαννης, ο αδελφος υμων και συγκοινωνος εν τη θλιψει και βασιλεια και υπομονη εν ιησου [χριστω], εγενομην εν τη νησω τη καλουμενη πατμω δια τον λογον του θεου και δια την μαρτυριαν ιησου χριστου.

10I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,

εγενομην εν πνευματι εν τη κυριακη ημερα, και ηκουσα φωνην οπισω μου μεγαλην ως σαλπιγγος

11saying, 'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,' and, 'What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.'

λεγουσης· ο βλεπεις γραψον εις βιβλιον και πεμψον ταις επτα εκκλησιαις, εις εφεσον και εις σμυρναν και εις περγαμον και εις θυατειρα και εις σαρδεις και εις φιλαδελφειαν και εις λαοδικειαν.

12Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,

και [εκει] επεστρεψα βλεπειν την φωνην ητις ελαλει μετ εμου· και επιστρεψας ειδον επτα λυχνιας χρυσας,

13and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.

και εν μεσω των επτα λυχνιων ομοιον υιω ανθρωπου, ενδεδυμενον ποδηρη και περιεζωσμενον προς τοις μαστοις ζωνην χρυσην·

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

η δε κεφαλη αυτου και αι τριχες λευκαι ως εριον λευκον, ως χιων, και οι οφθαλμοι αυτου ως φλοξ πυρος,

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

και οι ποδες αυτου ομοιοι χαλκολιβανω, ως εν καμινω πεπυρωμενοι, και η φωνη αυτου ως φωνη υδατων πολλων,

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

και εχων εν τη δεξια χειρι αυτου αστερας επτα, και εκ του στοματος αυτου ρομφαια διστομος οξεια εκπορευομενη, και η οψις αυτου ως ο ηλιος φαινει εν τη δυναμει αυτου.

17And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, 'Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.

και οτε ειδον αυτον, επεσα προς τους ποδας αυτου ως νεκρος, και εθηκεν την δεξιαν αυτου [χειρα] επ εμε λεγων· μη φοβου· εγω ειμι ο πρωτος και ο εσχατος

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

και ο ζων, και εγενομην νεκρος, και ιδου ζων ειμι εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων, και εχω τας κλεις του θανατου και του αδου.

19Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.

γραψον ουν α ειδες, και α εισιν και α μελλει γινεσθαι μετα ταυτα·

20The 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.

το μυστηριον των επτα αστερων ων ειδες επι της δεξιας μου, και τας επτα λυχνιας τας χρυσας. οι επτα αστερες αγγελοι των επτα εκκλησιων εισιν, και αι λυχνιαι αι επτα επτα εκκλησιαι εισιν.
