Otkrivenje 2
1 Anđelu Crkve u Efezu napiši: “Ovo govori Onaj koji drži sedam zvijezda u desnici, Onaj koji stupa posred sedam zlatnih svijećnjaka:
To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamps:
2 Znam tvoja djela, tvoj trud i postojanost tvoju i da ne možeš podnijeti opakih. Iskušao si one koji se prave apostolima, a nisu, i otkrio si da su lažljivci.
I know thy works and [thy] labour, and thine endurance, and that thou canst not bear evil [men]; and thou hast tried them who say that themselves [are] apostles and are not, and hast found them liars;
3 Postojan si, podnio si za ime moje i nisi smalaksao.
and endurest, and hast borne for my name's sake, and hast not wearied:
4 Ali imam protiv tebe: prvu si ljubav svoju ostavio.
but I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
5 Spomeni se dakle odakle si pao, obrati se i čini prva djela. Inače dolazim k tebi i - uklonit ću tvoj svijećnjak s mjesta njegova ako se ne obratiš.
Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works: but if not, I am coming to thee, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou shalt repent.
6 Ali ovo imaš: mrziš nikolaitska djela koja i ja mrzim.”
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
7 “Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama! Pobjedniku ću dati jesti od stabla života koje je u raju Božjem.”
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God.
8 I anđelu Crkve u Smirni napiši: “Ovo govori Prvi i Posljednji, Onaj koji bijaše mrtav i oživje:
And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: These things says the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:
9 Znam tvoju nevolju i siromaštvo - ali ti si bogat! - i pogrde od onih koji se nazivaju Židovima, a nisu, nego su sinagoga Sotonina.
I know thy tribulation and thy poverty; but thou art rich; and the railing of those who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but a synagogue of Satan.
10 Ne boj se onoga što ti je trpjeti! Evo, Sotona, će neke od vas baciti u tamnicu da budete iskušani. Bit ćete u nevolji deset dana. Budi vjeran do smrti i dat ću ti vijenac života.”
Fear nothing [of] what thou art about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of life.
11 “Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama! Pobjedniku neće nauditi druga smrt.”
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He that overcomes shall in no wise be injured of the second death.
12 I anđelu Crkve u Pergamu napiši: “Ovo govori Onaj u koga je mač dvosjek, oštar:
And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword:
13 Znam gdje prebivaš - ondje gdje je Sotonino prijestolje - a čvrsto se držiš moga imena te nisi zanijekao moje vjere ni u one dane kad je Antipa, moj svjedok, vjerni moj, ubijen kod vas - gdje Sotona prebiva.
I know where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan [is]; and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness [was], who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.
14 Ali imam nešto malo protiv tebe: imaš ondje nekih što drže nauk Bileama što pouči Balaka da stupicu stavi sinovima Izraelovim te blaguju od mesa žrtvovana idolima i bludu se podadu.
But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat [of] idol sacrifices and commit fornication.
15 Tako i ti imaš takvih koji drže nauk nikolaitski.
So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner.
16 Obrati se dakle! Inače dolazim ubrzo k tebi da ratujem s njima mačem usta svojih.”
Repent therefore: but if not, I come to thee quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.
17 “Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama! Pobjedniku ću dati mane sakrivene i bijel ću mu kamen dati, a na kamenu napisano ime novo koje nitko ne zna doli onaj koji ga prima.”
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of the hidden manna; and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that receives [it].
18 I anđelu Crkve u Tijatiri napiši: “Ovo govori Sin Božji, Onaj u koga su oči kao plamen ognjeni, a noge mu nalik na mjed uglađenu:
And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, he that has his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass:
19 Znam tvoja djela: tvoju ljubav, i vjeru, i služenje, i postojanost - i tvoja posljednja djela obilatija od prvašnjih.
I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thine endurance, and thy last works [to be] more than the first.
20 Ali imam protiv tebe: puštaš ženu Jezabelu, koja se pravi proročicom, da uči i zavodi moje sluge te se bludu podaju i blaguju od mesa žrtvovana idolima.
But I have against thee that thou permittest the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself prophetess, and she teaches and leads astray my servants to commit fornication and eat of idol sacrifices.
21 Dadoh joj vremena za obraćenje, ali ona neće da se obrati od bludnosti svoje.
And I gave her time that she should repent, and she will not repent of her fornication.
22 Evo, bacam je na postelju, a bludne drugare njene u veliku nevolju ako se ne odvrate od njezinih djela;
Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,
23 i djecu ću joj smrću pobiti. I znat će sve crkve: Ja sam Onaj koji istražuje bubrege i srca - i dat ću vam svakomu po djelima.
and her children will I kill with death; and all the assemblies shall know that I am he that searches [the] reins and [the] hearts; and I will give to you each according to your works.
24 Vama pak velim - vama drugim u Tijatiri koji ne drže ovog nauka te ne upoznaše takozvanih dubina sotonskih: Ne stavljam na vas drugoga bremena
But to you I say, the rest who [are] in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I do not cast upon you any other burden;
25 nego - što imate, čvrsto držite dok ne dođem.”
but what ye have hold fast till I shall come.
26 “Pobjedniku, onomu što do kraja bude vršio moja djela, dat ću vlast nad narodima
And he that overcomes, and he that keeps unto the end my works, to him will I give authority over the nations,
27 i vladat će njima palicom gvozdenom, kao posuđe glineno satirati ih -
and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; as vessels of pottery are they broken in pieces, as I also have received from my Father;
28 kao što i ja to primih od Oca svoga. I dat ću mu zvijezdu Danicu.
and I will give to him the morning star.
29 Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama!”
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
