全书共七章,由Isya Joseph自库尔德语译为英语,再翻译为汉语。内容为第一人称视角:上帝将自己的启示口述给先知。这本《启示录》是由不信奉雅兹迪的人所写,但基本反映了雅兹迪人的信仰。

第一章

我是昔在、今在及将来永在的无尽者。我支配万物,我支配万事,万事万物皆在我身形的庇护之下。信我在者永得我助,蒙难时呼唤我者永得我助。我的存在全宇宙无人不知晓。我现身于万事之中,万事中没有被称为邪恶的,因万事的本性并不如它们所认同的那样。每个世代都有其治理者,他将引领万事靠拢我的诫命。治理者代代相承,世界的支配者和他的首长们将他们的职责分配给每一个治理者,每个治理者都有其轮次。我允许每一人遵循其本性而为,但作出忤逆我的行为,此人将为此悔恨。没有神有权介入我的事务,我是不容置疑的统治者,每一个人都要制止自己,不要崇拜众神。出自他们之手的圣典都被篡改,人们应该毁弃它们,哪怕这些书本是启示和出自先知之手。这些书曾遇到无数篡改,皆因为这些神的信徒互相攻讦,力图证明其余的神比不上自己崇拜的,他们还焚毁其它神信徒的圣典。真理与谎言皆为我所知。当试探临到身边,我会与坚信我者立约。此外,我会向有历练的官长提出建议,因为我委任他们在每一个世代,这些世代为我所知。我会记住必要之事,在既定之时施行它们。我教诲和引导遵从我训诫之人。任何遵从我、听从我训令的人将得到快乐、智慧与幸福。

第二章

I requite the descendents of Adam, and reward them with various rewards that I alone know. Moreover, power and dominion over all that is on earth, both that which is above and that which is beneath, are in my hand. I do not allow friendly association with other people, nor do I deprive them that are my own and that obey me of anything that is good for them. I place my affairs in the hands of those whom I have tried and who are in accord with my desires. I appear in divers manners to those who are faithful and under my command. I give and take away; I enrich and impoverish; I cause both happiness and misery . I do all this in keeping with the characteristics of each epoch. And none has a right to interfere with my management of affairs. Those who oppose me I afflict with disease; but my own shall not die like the sons of Adam that are without. None shall live in this world longer than the time set by me; and if I so desire, I send a person a second or a third time into this world or into some other by the transmigration of souls.

我将回报亚当的子孙*,给他们不同的奖赏,而奖赏内容唯我知晓。还要加上权力与统治地上众生,而大地之上的苍穹与大地之下的深渊都在我的手中。你们不可以与其他人民往来,我拣选出的人民和遵从我诫命的人民亦不可,这对他们是好的。我将我的事务交予我曾试探者之手,交予合我心意者之手。忠诚于我的、听从我诫命的人,我将在他们面前现身。我施予亦剥夺,我散财亦夺财,我带来幸福也带来苦痛。
