1 T his 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,

Revelação de Jesus Cristo, que Deus lhe deu para mostrar aos seus servos as coisas que brevemente devem acontecer; e, enviando-as pelo seu anjo, as notificou a seu servo João;

2 w ho testified to God’s word, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.

o qual testificou da palavra de Deus, e do testemunho de Jesus Cristo, de tudo quanto viu.

3 B lessed 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 at hand.

Bem-aventurado aquele que lê e bem-aventurados os que ouvem as palavras desta profecia e guardam as coisas que nela estão escritas; porque o tempo está próximo.

4 J ohn, 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;

João,

5 a nd 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;

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,

6 a nd 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.

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

7 B ehold, 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.

Eis que vem com as nuvens, e todo olho o verá, até mesmo aqueles que o traspassaram; e todas as tribos da terra se lamentarão sobre ele. Sim. Amém.

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

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

9 I John, your brother and partner with you in 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.

Eu, 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.

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

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

11 s aying, “ What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

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

12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.

E voltei-me para ver quem falava comigo. E, ao voltar-me, vi sete candeeiros de ouro,

13 A nd 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.

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;

14 H is head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.

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

15 H is feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.

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

16 H e 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.

Tinha 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.

17 W hen 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,

Quando 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,

18 a nd the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever more. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

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

19 W rite therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter;

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

20 t he mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.

Eis 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.
