The Revelation of Saint John the Divine / Die Openbaring van Sint Johannes die Goddelike

1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

1:12 En ek het omgedraai om die stem te sien wat met my gespreek het . En toe ek my omgedraai het, het ek sewe goue kandelaars gesien;

1:13 And 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.

1:13 En in die middel van die sewe kandelaars een soos die Seun van die mens, bekleed met 'n kleed tot op die voete, en omgord die pappe met 'n goue gordel.

1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

1:14 Sy hoof en sy hare was wit soos wol, so wit soos sneeu; en sy oë was soos 'n vuurvlam;

1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

1:15 En sy voete soos fyn koper, asof dit in 'n oond brand; en sy stem soos die geluid van baie waters.

1:16 And 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.

1:16 En hy het sewe sterre in sy regterhand gehad, en 'n skerp tweesnydende swaard het uit sy mond uitgegaan, en sy aangesig was soos die son wat skyn in sy krag.

1:17 And 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:

1:17 En toe ek hom sien, val ek soos 'n dooie aan sy voete. En hy het sy regterhand op my gelê en vir my gesê Moenie vrees nie; Ek is die eerste en die laaste:

1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

1:18 Ek is die lewende en dood was; en kyk, Ek lewe vir ewig, Amen; en het die sleutels van die hel en van die dood.
