Revised Young's Literal Translation
New Testament
| 1:1 | A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to show to his servants what things it behooves to come to pass quickly; and he did signify it, having sent through his messenger to his servant John, |
| 1:2 | who did testify the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things also as he did see. |
| 1:3 | Happy is he who is reading, and those hearing, the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it -- for the time is near! |
| 1:4 | John to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits that are before His throne, |
| 1:5 | and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who did love us, and did bathe us from our sins in his blood, |
| 1:6 | and did make us kings and priests to his God and Father, to him is the glory and the power to the ages of the ages! Amen. |
| 1:7 | Lo, he does come with the clouds, and see him shall every eye, even those who did pierce him, and wail because of him shall all the tribes of the land. Yes! Amen! |
| 1:8 | 'I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end', says the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is coming -- the Almighty. |
| 1:9 | I, John, who also am your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the reign and endurance, of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ; |
| 1:10 | I was in the Spirit on the Lord's-day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying, |
| 1:11 | 'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last; and, what you do see, write in a scroll, and send to the seven assemblies thatare in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.' |
| 1:12 | And I did turn to see the voice that did speak with me, and having turned, I saw seven golden lamp-stands, |
| 1:13 | and in the midst of the seven lamp-stands, one like to a son of man, clothed to the foot, and girt round at the breast with a golden girdle, |
| 1:14 | and his head and hairs white, as if white wool -- as snow, and his eyes as a flame of fire; |
| 1:15 | and his feet like to fine brass, as in a furnace having been fired, and his voice as a sound of many waters, |
| 1:16 | and having in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and his countenance is as the sun shining in its might. |
| 1:17 | And when I saw him, I did fall at his feet as dead, and he placed his right hand upon me, saying to me, 'Be not afraid; I am the First and the Last, |
| 1:18 | and he who is living, and I did become dead, and, lo, I am living to the ages of the ages. Amen! and I have the keys of the hades and of the death. |
| 1:19 | 'Write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to come after these things; |
| 1:20 | the secret of the seven stars that you have seen upon my right hand, and the seven golden lamp-stands: the seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lamp-stands that you have seen are seven assemblies. |
