Offenbarung 1 | English Standard Version

Prologue

1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants* the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.

Greeting to the Seven Churches

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 who are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and 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, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail* on account of him. Even so. Amen. 8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Vision of the Son of Man

9 I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet 11 saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.” 12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. 17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. 19 Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this. 20 As for the mystery of the seven stars that 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 are the seven churches.

الكتاب المقدس

مقدمة

1 هَذِهِ رُؤْيَا أَعْطَاهَا اللهُ لِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، لِيَكْشِفَ لِعَبِيدِهِ عَنْ أُمُورٍ لابُدَّ أَنْ تَحْدُثَ عَنْ قَرِيبٍ. وَأَعْلَنَهَا الْمَسِيحُ لِعَبْدِهِ يُوحَنَّا عَنْ طَرِيقِ مَلاكٍ أَرْسَلَهُ لِذَلِكَ. 2 وَقَدْ شَهِدَ يُوحَنَّا بِكَلِمَةِ اللهِ وَبِشَهَادَةِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، بِجَمِيعِ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي رَآهَا. 3 طُوبَى لِلَّذِي يَقْرَأُ كِتَابَ النُّبُوءَةِ هَذَا وَلِلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَهُ، فَيُرَاعُونَ مَا جَاءَ فِيهِ، لأَنَّ مَوْعِدَ إِتْمَامِ النُّبُوءَةِ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ!

4 مِنْ يُوحَنَّا، إِلَى الْكَنَائِسِ السَّبْعِ فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ آسْيَّا: لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ الْكَائِنِ وَالَّذِي كَانَ وَالَّذِي سَيَأْتِي، وَمِنَ الأَرْوَاحِ السَّبْعَةِ الْمَاثِلَةِ أَمَامَ عَرْشِهِ، 5 وَمِنْ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ الشَّاهِدِ الأَمِينِ، بِكْرِ الْقَائِمِينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، مَلِكِ مُلُوكِ الأَرْضِ، ذَاكَ الَّذِي بِدَافِعِ مَحَبَّتِهِ لَنَا مَاتَ لأَجْلِنَا فَغَسَلَنَا بِدَمِهِ مِنْ خَطَايَانَا، 6 وَجَعَلَ مِنَّا مَمْلَكَةً، وَكَهَنَةً لِلهِ أَبِيهِ، لَهُ الْمَجْدُ وَالسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِين! 7 هَا هُوَ آتٍ مَعَ السَّحَابِ! سَتَرَاهُ عُيُونُ الْجَمِيعِ، حَتَّى أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ طَعَنُوهُ، وَتَنُوحُ بِسَبَبِهِ قَبَائِلُ الأَرْضِ كُلُّهَا! نَعَمْ، آمِينَ! 8 «أَنَا الأَلِفُ وَالْيَاءُ» (الْبِدَايَةُ وَالنِّهَايَةُ). هَذَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإِلهُ الْكَائِنُ الَّذِي كَانَ الَّذِي سَيَأْتِي، الْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

9 أَنَا، يُوحَنَّا أَخَاكُمْ وَشَرِيكَكُمْ فِي الضِّيقَةِ وَالْمَلَكُوتِ وَالصَّبْرِ فِي يَسُوعَ، كُنْتُ مَنْفِيًّا فِي الْجَزِيرَةِ الَّتِي تُسَمَّى بَطْمُسَ، لأَجْلِ كَلِمَةِ اللهِ وَشَهَادَةِ يَسُوعَ. 10 وَفِي يَوْمِ الرَّبِّ، صِرْتُ فِي الرُّوحِ، فَسَمِعْتُ مِنْ وَرَائِي صَوْتاً عَالِياً كَصَوْتِ الْبُوقِ 11 يَقُولُ: «دَوِّنْ مَا تَرَاهُ فِي كِتَابٍ، وَابْعَثْ بِهِ إِلَى الْكَنَائِسِ السَّبْعِ: فِي أَفَسُسَ، وَسِمِيرْنَا، وَبَرْغَامُسَ، وَثِيَاتِيرَا، وَسَارْدِسَ، وَفِيلادَلْفِيَا، وَلاوُدِكِيَّةَ». 12 وَعِنْدَمَا الْتَفَتُّ نَحْوَ الصَّوْتِ، رَأَيْتُ سَبْعَ مَنَائِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، 13 يَقِفُ وَسَطَهَا كَائِنٌ يُشْبِهُ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ وَيَرْتَدِي ثَوْباً طَوِيلاً إِلَى الرِّجْلَيْنِ، يَلُفُّ صَدْرَهُ حِزَامٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. 14 شَعْرُ رَأْسِهِ نَاصِعُ الْبَيَاضِ كَالصُّوفِ أَوِ الثَّلْجِ، وَعَيْنَاهُ كَشُعْلَةٍ مُلْتَهِبَةٍ. 15 رِجْلاهُ تَلْمَعَانِ كَأَنَّهُمَا نُحَاسٌ نَقِيٌّ مَصْقُولٌ بِالنَّارِ، وَصَوْتُهُ يُدَوِّي كَصَوْتِ شَلّالٍ غَزِيرٍ، 16 وَوَجْهُهُ يَتَوَهَّجُ بِالنُّورِ كَشَمْسِ الظَّهِيرَةِ. وَكَانَ فِي يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى سَبْعَةُ نُجُومٍ، وَمِنْ فَمِهِ يَخْرُجُ سَيْفٌ قَاطِعٌ ذُو حَدَّيْنِ. 17 فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ ارْتَمَيْتُ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ كَالْمَيْتِ، فَلَمَسَنِي بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَقَالَ: «لا تَخَفْ! أَنَا الأَوَّلُ وَالآخِرُ، 18 أَنَا الْحَيُّ. كُنْتُ مَيْتاً، وَلَكِنْ هَا أَنَا حَيٌّ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. وَلِي مَفَاتِيحُ الْمَوْتِ وَالْهَاوِيَةِ. 19 دَوِّنْ مَا رَأَيْتَهُ، وَمَا يَحْدُثُ الآنَ، وَمَا يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَحْدُثَ بَعْدَهُ. 20 وَهَذَا سِرُّ النُّجُومِ السَّبْعَةِ الَّتِي رَأَيْتَهَا فِي يَمِينِي، وَمَنَائِرِ الذَّهَبِ السَّبْعِ: النُّجُومُ السَّبْعَةُ تُمَثِّلُ مَلائِكَةَ الْكَنَائِسِ السَّبْعِ، أَمَّا الْمَنَائِرُ السَّبْعُ فَهِيَ تُمَثِّلُ الْكَنَائِسَ السَّبْعَ نَفْسَهَا.
