| 1 Otkrivenje Isusa Krista: njemu ga dade Bog da on pokaže slugama svojim ono što se ima dogoditi ubrzo. I on to označi poslavši svog anđela sluzi svomu Ivanu | 1 THE revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants what must soon take place; and he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, |
| 2 koji posvjedoči za riječ Božju i za svjedočanstvo Isusa Krista – za sve što vidje. | 2 who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. |
| 3 Blago onomu koji čita i onima što slušaju riječi ovog proroštva te čuvaju što je u njem napisano. Jer vrijeme je blizu! | 3 Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein; for the time is near. |
| 4 Ivan sedmerim crkvama u Aziji. Milost vam i mir od Onoga koji jest i koji bijaše i koji dolazi i od sedam duhova što su pred Prijestoljem njegovim | 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 i od Isusa Krista, Svjedoka vjernoga, Prvorođenca od mrtvih, Vladara nad kraljevima zemaljskim. Njemu koji nas ljubi, koji nas krvlju svojom otkupi od naših grijeha | 5 and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the first-born 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 te nas učini kraljevstvom, svećenicima Bogu i Ocu svojemu: Njemu slava i vlast u vijeke vjekova! Amen! | 6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. |
| 7 Gle, dolazi s oblacima i gledat će ga svako oko, svi koji su ga proboli, i naricat će nad njim sva plemena zemaljska. Da! Amen! | 7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, every one who pierced him; and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen. |
| 8 Ja sam Alfa i Omega, govori Gospodin Bog – Onaj koji jest i koji bijaše i koji dolazi, Svevladar. | 8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. |
| 9 Ja, Ivan, brat vaš i suzajedničar u nevolji, kraljevstvu i postojanosti, u Isusu: bijah na otoku zvanu Patmos radi riječi Božje i svjedočanstva Isusova. | 9 I John, your brother, who share with you in Jesus the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. |
| 10 Zanijeh se u duhu u dan Gospodnji i začuh iza sebe jak glas, kao glas trublje. | 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet |
| 11 Govoraše: »Što vidiš, napiši u knjigu i pošalji sedmerim crkvama: u Efez, Smirnu, Pergam, Tijatiru, Sard, Filadelfiju, Laodiceju.« | 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 La-odicea." |
| 12 Okrenuh se da vidim glas koji govoraše sa mnom. I okrenuvši se, vidjeh sedam zlatnih svijećnjaka, | 12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, |
| 13 a posred svijećnjaka netko kao Sin Čovječji, odjeven u dugu haljinu, oko prsiju opasan zlatnim pojasom; | 13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden girdle round his breast; |
| 14 glava mu i vlasi bijele poput bijele vune, poput snijega, a oči mu kao plamen ognjeni; | 14 his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire, |
| 15 noge mu nalik mjedi uglađenoj, kao u peći užarenoj, a glas mu kao šum voda mnogih; | 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters; |
| 16 u desnici mu sedam zvijezda, iz usta mu izlazi mač dvosječan, oštar, a lice mu kao kad sunce sjaji u svoj svojoj snazi. | 16 in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. |
| 17 Kad ga vidjeh, padoh mu k nogama kao mrtav. A on stavi na me desnicu govoreći: »Ne boj se! Ja sam Prvi i Posljednji, | 17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand upon me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last, |
| 18 i Živi! Mrtav bijah, a evo živim u vijeke vjekova te imam ključe Smrti i Podzemlja. | 18 and the living one; I died, and behold I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. |
| 19 Napiši dakle što si vidio: ono što jest i što se ima dogoditi poslije. | 19 Now write what you see, what is and what is to take place hereafter. |
| 20 Glede tajne onih sedam zvijezda koje vidje u mojoj desnici i sedam zlatnih svijećnjaka: sedam zvijezda anđeli su sedam crkava, sedam svijećnjaka sedam je crkava.« | 20 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. |
