Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἣν ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς δεῖξαι τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ, ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι ἐν τάχει, καὶ ἐσήμανεν ἀποστείλας διὰ τοῦ ἀγγέλου αὐτοῦ τῷ δούλῳ αὐτοῦ Ἰωάννῃ,This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, 2wat getuig het van die woord van God en die getuienis van Jesus Christus, alles wat hy gesien het.ὃς ἐμαρτύρησεν τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὅσα εἶδεν.who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 3Gelukkig is hy wat lees en hulle wat die woorde van die profesie hoor en bewaar wat daarin geskryf is, want die tyd is naby.μακάριος ὁ ἀναγινώσκων καὶ οἱ ἀκούοντες τοὺς λόγους τῆς προφητείας καὶ τηροῦντες τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ γεγραμμένα, ὁ γὰρ καιρὸς ἐγγύς.Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and obey what is written in it, because the time is near.

Sommige manuskripte lees: van God, wat is en wat was en wat kom.

Ἰωάννης ταῖς ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαις ταῖς ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ· χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ⸀ἀπὸ ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἑπτὰ πνευμάτων ἃ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ,John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him who is and was and is to come, and from the seven spirits before His throne, 5en van Jesus Christus, die getroue getuie, die eersgeborene uit die dooies en die owerste van die konings van die aarde. Aan Hom wat ons liefhet en ons van ons sondes losgemaak het deur Sy bloed—

Sommige manuskripte lees: wat ons gewas het van ons sondes in Sy bloed.

καὶ ἀπὸ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὁ μάρτυς ὁ πιστός, ὁ πρωτότοκος τῶν νεκρῶν καὶ ὁ ἄρχων τῶν βασιλέων τῆς γῆς. Τῷ ἀγαπῶντι ἡμᾶς καὶ ⸀λύσαντι ἡμᾶς ⸀ἐκ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ αἵματι αὐτοῦ—and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood, 6en ons 'n koninkryk gemaak het, priesters vir Sy God en Vader— aan Hom die heerlikheid en die mag tot in alle ewigheid. Amen.καὶ ἐποίησεν ἡμᾶς βασιλείαν, ἱερεῖς τῷ θεῷ καὶ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ— αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ⸂τῶν αἰώνων⸃· ἀμήν.who has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen.

7Kyk, Hy kom met die wolke, en elke oog sal Hom sien, ook hulle wat Hom deurboor het; en al die stamme van die aarde sal oor Hom weeklaag. Ja, amen.

Aanhaling uit Daniël 7:13 en Sagaria 12:10.

Ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται μετὰ τῶν νεφελῶν, καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν πᾶς ὀφθαλμὸς καὶ οἵτινες αὐτὸν ἐξεκέντησαν, καὶ κόψονται ἐπʼ αὐτὸν πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς. ναί, ἀμήν.Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him—even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen. 8“Ek is die Alfa en die Omega,” sê die Here God, Hy wat is en wat was en wat kom, die Almagtige.Ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ Ἄλφα καὶ τὸ Ὦ, λέγει κύριος, ὁ θεός, ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος, ὁ παντοκράτωρ.“I am the Alpha and the Omega, ” says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty.

9Ek, Johannes, julle broer en mededeelgenoot in die verdrukking en koninkryk en volharding in Jesus, was op die eiland wat Patmos genoem word, ter wille van die woord van God en die getuienis van Jesus.

Sommige manuskripte lees: in Jesus Christus ... en die getuienis van Jesus Christus.

Ἐγὼ Ἰωάννης, ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν καὶ ⸀συγκοινωνὸς ἐν τῇ θλίψει καὶ βασιλείᾳ καὶ ὑπομονῇ ⸀ἐν Ἰησοῦ, ἐγενόμην ἐν τῇ νήσῳ τῇ καλουμένῃ Πάτμῳ διὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ ⸀καὶ τὴν μαρτυρίαν ⸀Ἰησοῦ.I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance that are in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and my testimony about Jesus. 10Ek was in die Gees op die dag van die Here, en ek het agter my 'n groot stem gehoor soos van 'n trompet,

Of: in die gees.

ἐγενόμην ἐν πνεύματι ἐν τῇ κυριακῇ ἡμέρᾳ, καὶ ἤκουσα ⸂ὀπίσω μου φωνὴν⸃ μεγάλην ὡς σάλπιγγοςOn the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, 11wat gesê het: “Wat jy sien, skryf dit in 'n boek en stuur dit aan die sewe gemeentes: na Efese en na Smirna en na Pergamum en na Tiatira en na Sardis en na Filadelfia en na Laodisea.”λεγούσης· Ὃ βλέπεις γράψον εἰς βιβλίον καὶ πέμψον ταῖς ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαις, εἰς Ἔφεσον καὶ εἰς Σμύρναν καὶ εἰς Πέργαμον καὶ εἰς Θυάτειρα καὶ εἰς Σάρδεις καὶ εἰς Φιλαδέλφειαν καὶ εἰς Λαοδίκειαν.saying, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”

12En ek het omgedraai om die stem te sien wat met my gepraat het; en toe ek omgedraai het, het ek sewe goue kandelaars gesien,⸀Καὶ ἐπέστρεψα βλέπειν τὴν φωνὴν ἥτις ἐλάλει μετʼ ἐμοῦ· καὶ ἐπιστρέψας εἶδον ἑπτὰ λυχνίας χρυσᾶς,Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands, 13en tussen die kandelaars een soos 'n Seun van die mens, bekleed met 'n kleed wat tot op die voete hang, en om die bors omgord met 'n goue gordel.καὶ ἐν μέσῳ ⸀τῶν λυχνιῶν ὅμοιον ⸀υἱὸν ἀνθρώπου, ἐνδεδυμένον ποδήρη καὶ περιεζωσμένον πρὸς τοῖς μαστοῖς ζώνην χρυσᾶν·and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest. 14En Sy hoof en hare was wit soos wit wol, soos sneeu, en Sy oë soos 'n vlam van vuur,ἡ δὲ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ τρίχες λευκαὶ ὡς ἔριον λευκόν, ὡς χιών, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ὡς φλὸξ πυρός,The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a blazing fire. 15en Sy voete soortgelyk aan blink brons soos in 'n oond gloeiend gemaak, en Sy stem soos die stem van baie waters,

Hebreeus onduidelik.

καὶ οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ ὅμοιοι χαλκολιβάνῳ, ὡς ἐν καμίνῳ ⸀πεπυρωμένης, καὶ ἡ φωνὴ αὐτοῦ ὡς φωνὴ ὑδάτων πολλῶν,His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters. 16en in Sy regterhand het Hy sewe sterre, en uit Sy mond kom 'n skerp tweesnydende swaard, en Sy gesig is soos die son wat skyn in sy krag.καὶ ἔχων ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ ⸂χειρὶ αὐτοῦ⸃ ἀστέρας ἑπτά, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ ῥομφαία δίστομος ὀξεῖα ἐκπορευομένη, καὶ ἡ ὄψις αὐτοῦ ὡς ὁ ἥλιος φαίνει ἐν τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ.He held in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.

17En toe ek Hom sien, het ek soos 'n dooie aan Sy voete neergeval; en Hy het Sy regterhand op my gelê en gesê: “Moenie vrees nie; Ek is die eerste en die laaste,Καὶ ὅτε εἶδον αὐτόν, ἔπεσα πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ὡς νεκρός· καὶ ἔθηκεν τὴν δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ ἐμὲ λέγων· Μὴ φοβοῦ· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος,When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He placed His right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last, 18en die Lewende; en Ek was dood, en kyk, Ek lewe tot in alle ewigheid, en Ek het die sleutels van die dood en van die doderyk.

Sommige manuskripte lees: tot in alle ewigheid. Amen.

καὶ ὁ ζῶν— καὶ ἐγενόμην νεκρὸς καὶ ἰδοὺ ζῶν εἰμι εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν ⸀αἰώνων— καὶ ἔχω τὰς κλεῖς τοῦ θανάτου καὶ τοῦ ᾅδου.the Living One. I was dead, and behold, now I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of Death and of Hades. 19Skryf dan wat jy gesien het en wat is en wat hierna gaan gebeur.γράψον οὖν ἃ εἶδες καὶ ἃ εἰσὶν καὶ ἃ μέλλει ⸀γίνεσθαι μετὰ ταῦτα.Therefore write down the things you have seen, the things that are, and the things that will happen after this. 20Die geheimenis van die sewe sterre wat jy op My regterhand gesien het, en die sewe goue kandelare: die sewe sterre is engele van die sewe gemeentes, en die sewe kandelare is sewe gemeentes.”

τὸ μυστήριον τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀστέρων ⸀οὓς εἶδες ἐπὶ τῆς δεξιᾶς μου, καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ λυχνίας τὰς χρυσᾶς· οἱ ἑπτὰ ἀστέρες ἄγγελοι τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησιῶν εἰσίν, καὶ αἱ λυχνίαι αἱ ἑπτὰ ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαι εἰσίν.This is the mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
