1 Jeesuse Kristuse Ilmutus, mille Jumal Temale andis, et Ta näitaks Tema sulastele, mis varsti peab sündima; ja seda Ta näitas, läkitades Oma Ingli kaudu Oma sulasele Johannesele,
2 kes on tunnistanud Jumala sõna ja Jeesuse Kristuse tunnistust, kõike, mida ta on näinud.
3 Õnnis on see, kes loeb, ja need, kes kuulevad selle prohvetliku kuulutuse sõnu ja peavad tallel, mis sellesse on kirja pandud; sest aeg on ligidal.
4 Johannes seitsmele Aasia kogudusele: armu teile ja rahu Sellelt, Kes on ja Kes oli ja Kes tuleb; ja neilt seitsmelt vaimult, kes on Tema aujärje ees;
5 ja Jeesuselt Kristuselt, Kes on ustav tunnistaja, esmasündinu surnute seast ja maailma kuningate valitseja. Temale, Kes meid on armastanud ja meid on vabastanud meie pattudest Oma Verega,
6 ja on meid teinud kuningriigiks, preestriks Jumalale ja Oma Isale, Temale olgu au ja vägi ajastute ajastuteni! Aamen.
7 Vaata, Tema tuleb pilvedega ja kõik silmad saavad Teda näha, ja need, kes Tema läbi pistsid, ja kõik maa suguharud tõstavad kaebehäält Tema pärast. Tõepoolest, aamen!
8 „Mina olen A ja O", ütleb Issand Jumal, Kes on ja Kes oli ja Kes tuleb, Kõigeväeline.
9 Mina, Johannes, teie vend ja teie kaaslane viletsuses ja kuningriigis ja kannatlikkuses Jeesuses, olin saarel, mida kutsutakse Patmoseks, Jumala sõna ja Jeesuse Kristuse tunnistuse pärast.
10 Ma olin vaimus Issanda päeval ja kuulsin oma selja taga suurt, otsekui pasuna häält,
11 mis ütles: „Mida sa näed, kirjuta raamatusse ja läkita neile seitsmele kogudusele: Efesosse ja Smürnasse ja Pergamoni ja Tüatiirasse ja Sardesesse ja Filadelfiasse ja Laodikeasse!"
12 Ja ma pöördusin ümber vaatama seda häält, mis minuga rääkis. Ja kui ma olin pöördunud, nägin ma seitset kuld küünlajalga.
13 Ja keset neid seitset küünlajalga üht, kes oli Inimese Poja sarnane, riietatud pika rüüga ja vöötatud rinde alt kuldvööga.
14 Tema pea ja juuksed olid valged nagu valge vill, nagu lumi, ja Tema silmad nagu tuleleek;
15 ja Tema jalad olid otsekui ahjus hõõguv, hiilgav vasemaak ja Tema hääl oli nagu suurte vete kohin.
16 Ja Temal oli paremas käes seitse taevatähte, ja Tema suust läks välja terav kaheterane mõõk, ja Tema pale oli otsekui päike, kui see paistab oma väes.
17 Kui ma Teda nägin, siis ma langesin maha Tema jalgade ette nagu surnu. Ja Ta pani Oma parema käe mu peale ja ütles mulle: „Ära karda, Mina olen Esimene ja Viimne
18 ja Elav; Ma olin surnud, ja vaata, Ma olen elav ajastute ajastuteni, ja Minu käes on surma ja surmavalla võtmed!
19 Kirjuta siis, mida sa oled näinud ja mis nüüd on ja mis pärast seda sünnib!
20 Nende seitsme taevatähe saladus, mida sa nägid Minu paremas käes, ja nende seitsme kuldküünlajala saladus on see: need seitse tähte on seitsme koguduse Inglid, ja need seitse küünlajalga on seitse kogudust!
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave him so that his servants might have knowledge of the things which will quickly take place: and he sent and made it clear by his angel to his servant John;
2 Who gave witness of the word of God, and of the witness of Jesus Christ, even of all the things which he saw.
3 A blessing be on the reader, and on those who give ear to the prophet's words, and keep the things which he has put in the book: for the time is near.
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and was and is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his high seat;
5 And from Jesus Christ, the true witness, the first to come back from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who had love for us and has made us clean from our sins by his blood;
6 And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to his God and Father; to him let glory and power be given for ever and ever. So be it.
7 See, he comes with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and those by whom he was wounded; and all the tribes of the earth will be sorrowing because of him. Yes, so be it.
8 I am the First and the Last, says the Lord God who is and was and is to come, the Ruler of all.
9 I, John, your brother, who have a part with you in the trouble and the kingdom and the quiet strength of Jesus, was in the island which is named Patmos, for the word of God and the witness of Jesus.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and a great voice at my back, as of a horn, came to my ears,
11 Saying, What you see, put in a book, and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamos and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.
12 And turning to see the voice which said these words to me, I saw seven gold vessels with lights burning in them;
13 And in the middle of them one like a son of man, clothed with a robe down to his feet, and with a band of gold round his breasts.
14 And 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 like polished brass, as if it had been burned in a fire; and his voice was as the sound of great waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword: and his face was like the sun shining in its strength.
17 And when I saw him, I went down on my face at his feet as one dead. And he put his right hand on me, saying, Have no fear; I am the first and the last and the Living one;
18 And I was dead, and see, I am living for ever, and I have the keys of death and of Hell.
19 Put in writing, then, the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will be after these;
20 The secret of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold vessels with burning lights. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lights are the seven churches.
