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 who is in the church at Ephesus write; The one holding the seven stars in his right hand, the one walking about in the midst of the golden candlesticks, says these things;
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 your works, and your labor, and your patience, and that you are not able to bear the wicked; and you have tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them to be liars:
3 Postojan si, podnio si za ime moje i nisi smalaksao.
and you have patience and have borne with them for my name's sake, and have not fainted.
4 Ali imam protiv tebe: prvu si ljubav svoju ostavio.
But I have something against you, because you have left your 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 you have fallen, and repent, and do your first works; lest I come to you, and shall move your candlestick out of its place, if you do not repent.
6 Ali ovo imaš: mrziš nikolaitska djela koja i ja mrzim.”
But you have this, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, 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.”
Let the one having ears, hear what the Spirit says to the churches; to him who conquers I will give 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 church in Smyrna write; The first and the last, who was dead, and is alive, says these things:
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 your tribulations, and your poverty, but you are rich; and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are the 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 not those things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you a crown of life.
11 “Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama! Pobjedniku neće nauditi druga smrt.”
Let the one having ears, hear what the Spirit says to the churches; The one conquering can never be hurt by the second death.
12 I anđelu Crkve u Pergamu napiši: “Ovo govori Onaj u koga je mač dvosjek, oštar:
To the angel of the church in Pergamum write; The one having the sharp, two-edged sword says these things;
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 you dwell, where the throne of Satan is: and you are holding fast my name, and did not deny my faith, in the days when Antipas was my faithful martyr, 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, because thou hast there those holding the teachings of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the sons of Israel, and to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.
15 Tako i ti imaš takvih koji drže nauk nikolaitski.
So you also have those in a similar manner holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16 Obrati se dakle! Inače dolazim ubrzo k tebi da ratujem s njima mačem usta svojih.”
Repent; otherwise I am coming to you quickly, and will fight against 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.”
Let the one having ears hear what the Spirit says to the churches; unto the one conquering will I give to him of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone my new name having been written, which no one knows but the one receiving 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 church among the Thyatireans write; The Son of God, the one having eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like burnished brass, says these things;
19 Znam tvoja djela: tvoju ljubav, i vjeru, i služenje, i postojanost - i tvoja posljednja djela obilatija od prvašnjih.
I know your works, and your divine love, and faith, and ministry, and patience, and your works: the last 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 it against you, that you suffer the woman Jezebel, who says herself to be a prophet, and teaches and deceives my servants to commit fornication, and to cat things sacrificed to idols.
21 Dadoh joj vremena za obraćenje, ali ona neće da se obrati od bludnosti svoje.
And I gave her time that she might repent, and she does not wish to 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 on a bed, and those who commit fornication along with her into great tribulation, until they shall 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 I will slay her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am the one searching 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 I say to you, the rest who are among the Thyatireans, so many as have not this teaching, whosoever have not known the depth of Satan, as they say; I cast upon you no other burden.
25 nego - što imate, čvrsto držite dok ne dođem.”
Moreover hold fast that which you have, until I shall come.
26 “Pobjedniku, onomu što do kraja bude vršio moja djela, dat ću vlast nad narodima
And the one conquering and holding my works until the end, I will give unto him authority over the nations:
27 i vladat će njima palicom gvozdenom, kao posuđe glineno satirati ih -
and he will shepherdize them with an iron rod: as the potter's vessels are broken to pieces; as I have received of my Father:
28 kao što i ja to primih od Oca svoga. I dat ću mu zvijezdu Danicu.
and I will give unto him the morning star.
29 Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama!”
Let the one having ears, hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
