4 J oão,

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 e da parte de Jesus Cristo, que é a fiel testemunha, o primogênito dos mortos e o Príncipe dos reis da terra. Âquele que nos ama, e pelo seu sangue nos libertou dos nossos pecados,

and 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 released us from our sins by His blood—

6 e nos fez reino, sacerdotes para Deus, seu Pai, a ele seja glória e domínio pelos séculos dos séculos. Amém.

and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father— to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

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 over Him. So it is to be. Amen.

8 E u sou o Alfa e o èmega, diz o Senhor Deus, aquele que é, e que era, e que há de vir, o Todo-Poderoso.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “ who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” The Patmos Vision

9 E u, João, irmão vosso e companheiro convosco na aflição, no reino, e na perseverança em Jesus, estava na ilha chamada Patmos por causa da palavra de Deus e do testemunho de Jesus.

I, John, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

10 E u fui arrebatado em espírito no dia do Senhor, e ouvi por detrás de mim uma grande voz, como de trombeta,

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet,

11 q ue dizia: O que vês, escreve-o num livro, e envia-o

saying, “ Write in a book what you see, 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 E voltei-me para ver quem falava comigo. E, ao voltar-me, vi sete candeeiros de ouro,

Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands;

13 e no meio dos candeeiros um semelhante a filho de homem, vestido de uma roupa talar, e cingido ã altura do peito com um cinto de ouro;

and in the middle of the lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash.

14 e a sua cabeça e cabelos eram brancos como lã branca, como a neve; e os seus olhos como chama de fogo;

His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire.

15 e os seus pés, semelhantes a latão reluzente que fora refinado numa fornalha; e a sua voz como a voz de muitas águas.

His feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters.

16 T inha ele na sua destra sete estrelas; e da sua boca saía uma aguda espada de dois gumes; e o seu rosto era como o sol, quando resplandece na sua força.

In His right hand He held 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 Q uando o vi, caí a seus pés como morto; e ele pôs sobre mim a sua destra, dizendo: Não temas; eu sou o primeiro e o último,

When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “ Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last,

18 e o que vivo; fui morto, mas eis aqui estou vivo pelos séculos dos séculos; e tenho as chaves da morte e do hades.

and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

19 e screve, pois, as coisas que tens visto, e as que são, e as que depois destas hão de suceder.

Therefore write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after these things.

20 E is o mistério das sete estrelas, que viste na minha destra, e dos sete candeeiros de ouro: as estrelas são os anjos das sete igrejas, e os sete candeeiros são as sete igrejas.

As for the mystery of the seven stars which 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.
