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.

Prólogo

1 Revelación de Jesús el Mesías, que Dios le dio para manifestar a sus siervos lo que debe suceder en breve, y la declaró enviándola por medio de su ángel a su siervo Juan, 2 el cual dio testimonio de la palabra de Dios y del testimonio de Jesús el Mesías: de todo cuanto vio. 3 Bienaventurado el que lee y los que oyen las palabras de la profecía, y guardan las cosas en ella escritas, porque el tiempo está cerca.

Saludos a las siete iglesias

4 Juan, a las siete iglesias que están en el Asia: Gracia y paz a vosotros, del que es y que era y que está viniendo, y de los siete espíritus que están ante su trono, 5 y de Jesús el Mesías, el Testigo fiel, el Primogénito de los muertos y el Soberano de los reyes de la tierra. Al que nos ama y nos libertó de nuestros pecados con su sangre, 6 y nos hizo un reino sacerdotal para su Dios y Padre: a Él sea la gloria y la soberanía por los siglos, amén. 7 He aquí viene con las nubes, y todo ojo lo verá, y también aquéllos que lo traspasaron, y harán lamentación por Él todas las tribus de la tierra. Sí, amén. 8 Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega, dice el Señor Dios, el que es, y que era, y que está viniendo, el Todopoderoso.

Visión del Hijo del Hombre

9 Yo, Juan, vuestro hermano, y partícipe con vosotros en la tribulación, y en el reino, y en la perseverancia en Jesús, estaba en la isla llamada Patmos, por causa de la palabra de Dios y el testimonio de Jesús. 10 Y estando en espíritu en el día dominical, oí detrás de mí una gran voz, como de trompeta, 11 que decía: Escribe lo que ves en un rollo, y envíalo a las siete iglesias: a Éfeso, a Esmirna, a Pérgamo, a Tiatira, a Sardis, a Filadelfia y a Laodicea. 12 Y me volví para ver la voz que hablaba conmigo, y vuelto, vi siete candelabros de oro, 13 y en medio de los siete candelabros, a uno semejante al Hijo del Hombre, vestido de una túnica talar y ceñido a la altura del pecho con una faja de oro. 14 Su cabeza y los cabellos eran blancos como lana blanca, como la nieve; y sus ojos, como llama de fuego. 15 Sus pies eran semejantes al bronce bruñido, como en un horno encendido, y su voz, como el estruendo de muchas aguas. 16 En su diestra tenía siete estrellas, y de su boca salía una espada aguda de doble filo, y su semblante era como cuando brilla el sol en su fuerza. 17 Cuando lo vi, caí como muerto a sus pies, pero Él puso su diestra sobre mí, diciendo: No temas, Yo soy el Primero y el Postrero, 18 y el que vive, aunque estuve muerto, pero he aquí vivo por los siglos de los siglos, y tengo las llaves de la Muerte y del Hades. 19 Escribe pues las cosas que has visto, y las que son, y las que están a punto de suceder después de éstas: 20 El misterio de las siete estrellas que viste en mi diestra, y los siete candelabros de oro: Las siete estrellas son los ángeles de las siete iglesias, y los siete candelabros son las siete iglesias.
