启示录 2
1 “你要写信给以弗所教会的使者，说：‘那右手拿着七星、在七个金灯台中间行走的，说：
“Write this to the angel of the Ephesus church: This is what the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand says, the one who walks among the seven golden candlesticks:
2 我知道你的行为、劳碌、忍耐，也知道你不能容忍恶人。你也曾试验那自称为使徒却不是使徒的，看出他们是假的来。
I know what you've accomplished, your hard work and perseverance. I know you can't tolerate evil people, and how you investigated those who claimed to be apostles but are not, and discovered they were frauds.
3 你也能忍耐，曾为我的名劳苦，并不乏倦。
I know about your patience, and what you endured for my sake—and that you didn't give up!
4 然而有一件事我要责备你，就是你把起初的爱心离弃了。
But I have something against you: you have neglected your first love.
5 所以，应当回想你是从哪里坠落的，并要悔改，行起初所行的事。你若不悔改，我就临到你那里，把你的灯台从原处挪去。
So remember how far you've fallen—repent and go back to what you were doing at first. Otherwise I'll come to you and I will remove your candlestick from where it is—unless you repent.
6 然而你还有一件可取的事，就是你恨恶尼哥拉一党人的行为，这也是我所恨恶的。
However, you do have this to your credit: you hate the actions of the Nicolaitans, just as I do.
7 圣灵向众教会所说的话，凡有耳的，就应当听！得胜的，我必将 神乐园中生命树的果子赐给他吃。’”
If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches. I will give to those who are victorious the privilege of eating from the tree of life, which stands in the Paradise of God.
8 “你要写信给士每拿教会的使者，说：‘那首先的、末后的、死过又活的，说：
Write this to the angel of the Smyrna church: This is what the first and last says, the one who was dead and came back to life:
9 我知道你的患难，你的贫穷（你却是富足的），也知道那自称是犹太人所说的毁谤话，其实他们不是犹太人，乃是撒但一会的人。
I know the troubles you are going through, and how poor you are (but you are rich), and the abuse from those who say they are Jews but are not, but belong to Satan's synagogue.
10 你将要受的苦你不用怕。魔鬼要把你们中间几个人下在监里，叫你们被试炼，你们必受患难十日。你务要至死忠心，我就赐给你那生命的冠冕。
Don't be afraid about what you are going to suffer. Yes, the devil will throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Just remain faithful, even if it means death, and I will give you the crown of life!
11 圣灵向众教会所说的话，凡有耳的，就应当听！得胜的，必不受第二次死的害。’”
If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches. The second death will not harm those who are victorious.
12 “你要写信给别迦摩教会的使者，说：‘那有两刃利剑的，说：
Write this to the angel of the Pergamum church: This is what the one holding the sharp two-edged sword says:
13 我知道你的居所，就是有撒但座位之处；当我忠心的见证人安提帕在你们中间、撒但所住的地方被杀之时，你还坚守我的名，没有弃绝我的道。
I know you're living where Satan has his throne, and that you have stayed true to me. You have not denied your trust in me, even when my faithful witness Antipas was killed right among you there where Satan lives!
14 然而，有几件事我要责备你：因为在你那里有人服从了巴兰的教训；这巴兰曾教导巴勒将绊脚石放在以色列人面前，叫他们吃祭偶像之物，行奸淫的事。
But I have a few things against you: There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak how to entrap the children of Israel by means of eating food sacrificed to idols and committing sexual sins.
15 你那里也有人照样服从了尼哥拉一党人的教训。
Similarly you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16 所以，你当悔改；若不悔改，我就快临到你那里，用我口中的剑攻击他们。
So repent, or soon I will come to you and fight against them using the sword of my mouth.
17 圣灵向众教会所说的话，凡有耳的，就应当听！得胜的，我必将那隐藏的吗哪赐给他，并赐他一块白石，石上写着新名；除了那领受的以外，没有人能认识。’”
If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches. I will give the hidden manna to those who are victorious. I will give them a white stone with a new name written on it that nobody knows except those who receive it.
18 “你要写信给推雅推喇教会的使者，说：‘那眼目如火焰、脚像光明铜的 神之子说：
Write this to the angel of the Thyatira church: This is what the Son of God says, the one who has eyes like flaming fire and feet like polished brass.
19 我知道你的行为、爱心、信心、勤劳、忍耐，又知道你末后所行的善事，比起初所行的更多。
I know what you have accomplished, your love and faithfulness and service and perseverance, and that you are doing more now than when you first believed.
20 然而，有一件事我要责备你，就是你容让那自称是先知的妇人耶洗别教导我的仆人，引诱他们行奸淫，吃祭偶像之物。
But I have something against you: you are allowing the woman called Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess to teach my followers, leading them astray into sexual sins, and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
21 我曾给她悔改的机会，她却不肯悔改她的淫行。
I gave her time to repent of her sexual sins, but she's not willing to repent.
22 看哪，我要叫她病卧在床。那些与她行淫的人，若不悔改所行的，我也要叫他们同受大患难。
So I'm throwing her into a bed together with her adulterous partners and they will suffer terribly unless they repent of what they have done with her.
23 我又要杀死她的党类，叫众教会知道，我是那察看人肺腑心肠的，并要照你们的行为报应你们各人。
I will put her children to death. Then all the churches will know that I am the one who examines thoughts and motives. I will repay each of you according to what you've done.
24 至于你们推雅推喇其余的人，就是一切不从那教训、不晓得他们素常所说撒但深奥之理的人，我告诉你们，我不将别的担子放在你们身上。
For the rest of you there in Thyatira who don't follow this teaching, who have not learned Satan's ‘deep depravities’ as they are called, I don't place on you any other burden. I say to you,
25 但你们已经有的，总要持守，直等到我来。
‘Just hold on to what you have until I come.’
26 那得胜又遵守我命令到底的，我要赐给他权柄制伏列国；
I will give authority over the nations to those who are victorious and who do what I say until the end.
27 他必用铁杖辖管他们，将他们如同窑户的瓦器打得粉碎，像我从我父领受的权柄一样。
He will rule the nations with an iron rod, breaking them into pieces like clay pots. In the same way that I received authority from my Father,
28 我又要把晨星赐给他。
I will give them the morning star.
29 圣灵向众教会所说的话，凡有耳的，就应当听！’”
If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches.”
