Apocalipsis 1
Lutherbibel 1545
1Ich war im Geist an des HERRN Tag und hörete hinter mir eine große Stimme als einer Posaune,
2die sprach: Ich bin das A und das O, der Erste und der Letzte; und was du siehest, das schreibe in ein Buch und sende es zu den Gemeinden in Asien, gen Ephesus und gen Smyrna und gen Pergamus und gen Thyatira und gen Sardes und gen Philadelphia und gen Laodicea.
3Und ich wandte mich um, zu sehen nach der Stimme, die mit mir redete. Und als ich mich wandte, sah ich sieben güldene Leuchter
4und mitten unter den sieben Leuchtern einen, der war eines Menschen Sohn gleich, der war angetan mit einem Kittel und begürtet um die Brust mit einem güldenen Gürtel.
5Sein Haupt aber und sein Haar war weiß wie weiße Wolle, wie der Schnee, und seine Augen wie eine Feuerflamme
6und seine Füße gleich wie Messing, das im Ofen glühet, und seine Stimme wie groß Wasserrauschen;
7und hatte sieben Sterne in seiner rechten Hand, und aus seinem Munde ging ein scharf, zweischneidig Schwert, und sein Angesicht leuchtete wie die helle Sonne.
8Und als ich ihn sah, fiel ich zu seinen Füßen wie ein Toter. Und er legte seine rechte Hand auf mich und sprach zu mir: Fürchte dich nicht! Ich bin der Erste und der Letzte
9und der Lebendige. Ich war tot; und siehe, ich bin lebendig von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit und habe die Schlüssel der Hölle und des Todes.
10Schreibe, was du gesehen hast, und was da ist, und was geschehen soll danach,
11das Geheimnis der sieben Sterne, die du gesehen hast in meiner rechten Hand, und die sieben güldenen Leuchter. Die sieben Sterne sind Engel der sieben Gemeinden, und die sieben Leuchter, die du gesehen hast, sind sieben Gemeinden.
12Und dem Engel der Gemeinde zu Ephesus schreibe: Das saget, der da hält die sieben Sterne in seiner Rechten, der da wandelt mitten unter den sieben güldenen Leuchtern:
13Ich weiß deine Werke und deine Arbeit und deine Geduld, und daß du die Bösen nicht tragen kannst und hast versucht die, so da sagen, sie seien Apostel, und sind's nicht, und hast sie Lügner erfunden,
14und verträgest und hast Geduld, und um meines Namens willen arbeitest du und bist nicht müde worden.
15Aber ich habe wider dich, daß du die erste Liebe verlässest.
16Gedenke, wovon du gefallen bist, und tu Buße und tu die ersten Werke! Wo aber nicht, werde ich dir kommen bald und deinen Leuchter wegstoßen von seiner Stätte, wo du nicht Buße tust.
17Aber das hast du, daß du die Werke der Nikolaiten hassest, welche ich auch hasse.
18Wer Ohren hat, der höre, was der Geist den Gemeinden sagt: Wer überwindet, dem will ich zu essen geben von dem Holz des Lebens, das im Paradies Gottes ist.
19Und dem Engel der Gemeinde zu Smyrna schreibe: Das saget der Erste und der Letzte, der tot war und ist lebendig worden:
20Ich weiß deine Werke und deine Trübsal und deine Armut (du bist aber reich) und die Lästerung von denen die da sagen, sie sind Juden, und sind's nicht, sondern sind des Satans Schule.
Reina-Valera 1909
1LA revelación de Jesucristo, que Dios le dió, para manifestar á sus siervos las cosas que deben suceder presto; y la declaró, enviándola por su ángel á Juan su siervo,
2El cual ha dado testimonio de la palabra de Dios, y del testimonio de Jesucristo, y de todas las cosas que ha visto.
3Bienaventurado el que lee, y los que oyen las palabras de esta profecía, y guardan las cosas en ella escritas: porque el tiempo está cerca.
4Juan á las siete iglesias que están en Asia: Gracia sea con vosotros, y paz del que es y que era y que ha de venir, y de los siete Espíritus que están delante de su trono;
5Y de Jesucristo, el testigo fiel, el primogénito de los muertos, y príncipe de los reyes de la tierra. Al que nos amó, y nos ha lavado de nuestros pecados con su sangre,
6Y nos ha hecho reyes y sacerdotes para Dios y su Padre; á él sea gloria é imperio para siempre jamás. Amén.
7He aquí que viene con las nubes, y todo ojo le verá, y los que le traspasaron; y todos los linajes de la tierra se lamentarán sobre él. Así sea. Amén.
8Yo soy el Alpha y la Omega, principio y fin, dice el Señor, que es y que era y que ha de venir, el Todopoderoso.
9Yo Juan, vuestro hermano, y participante en la tribulación y en el reino, y en la paciencia de Jesucristo, estaba en la isla que es llamada Patmos, por la palabra de Dios y el testimonio de Jesucristo.
10Yo fuí en el Espíritu en el día del Señor, y oí detrás de mí una gran voz como de trompeta,
11Que decía: Yo soy el Alpha y Omega, el primero y el último. Escribe en un libro lo que ves, y envíalo á las siete iglesias que están en Asia; á Efeso, y á Smirna, y á Pérgamo, y á Tiatira, y á Sardis, y á Filadelfia, y á Laodicea.
12Y me volví á ver la voz que hablaba conmigo: y vuelto, vi siete candeleros de oro;
13Y en medio de los siete candeleros, uno semejante al Hijo del hombre, vestido de una ropa que llegaba hasta los pies, y ceñido por los pechos con una cinta de oro.
14Y su cabeza y sus cabellos eran blancos como la lana blanca, como la nieve; y sus ojos como llama de fuego;
15Y sus pies semejantes al latón fino, ardientes como en un horno; y su voz como ruido de muchas aguas.
16Y tenía en su diestra siete estrellas: y de su boca salía una espada aguda de dos filos. Y su rostro era como el sol cuando resplandece en su fuerza.
17Y cuando yo le vi, caí como muerto á sus pies. Y él puso su diestra sobre mí, diciéndome: No temas: yo soy el primero y el último;
18Y el que vivo, y he sido muerto; y he aquí que vivo por siglos de siglos, Amén. Y tengo las llaves del infierno y de la muerte:
19Escribe las cosas que has visto, y las que son, y las que han de ser después de éstas:
20El misterio de las siete estrellas que has visto en mi diestra, y los siete candeleros de oro. Las siete estrellas son los ángeles de las siete iglesias; y los siete candeleros que has visto, son las siete iglesias.
King James Version
1The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
2Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
7Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
19Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
20The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
World English Bible
1This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, John,
2who testified to God’s word and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.
3Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is near.
4John, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;
5and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—
6and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
7Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over 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.”
9I John, your brother and partner with you in the oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God’s Word and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
11saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
13And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
14His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
15His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
16He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
17When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last,
18and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
19Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.
20The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.
