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 church in Ephesus write: "He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands 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 toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.
3 Postojan si, podnio si za ime moje i nisi smalaksao.
You have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary.
4 Ali imam protiv tebe: prvu si ljubav svoju ostavio.
But I have this against you, that you 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 from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.
6 Ali ovo imaš: mrziš nikolaitska djela koja i ja mrzim.”
But this you have, 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.”
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes 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:
"To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: "The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life 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 tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are 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.”
Do not be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 “Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama! Pobjedniku neće nauditi druga smrt.”
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes won't be harmed 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: "He who has 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 Satan's throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas, my witness, my faithful one, who was killed 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 you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
15 Tako i ti imaš takvih koji drže nauk nikolaitski.
So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.
16 Obrati se dakle! Inače dolazim ubrzo k tebi da ratujem s njima mačem usta svojih.”
Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war 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.”
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who 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:
"To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: "The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished bronze, 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, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are 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 this against you, that you tolerate the woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
21 Dadoh joj vremena za obraćenje, ali ona neće da se obrati od bludnosti svoje.
I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
22 Evo, bacam je na postelju, a bludne drugare njene u veliku nevolju ako se ne odvrate od njezinih djela;
Look, I will throw her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, 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.
I will kill her children with Death, and all the churches will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
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, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who do not know what some call 'the deep things of Satan,' to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
25 nego - što imate, čvrsto držite dok ne dođem.”
Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
26 “Pobjedniku, onomu što do kraja bude vršio moja djela, dat ću vlast nad narodima
He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
27 i vladat će njima palicom gvozdenom, kao posuđe glineno satirati ih -
He will rule them with an iron scepter, shattering them like clay pots; as I also 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 him the morning star.
29 Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama!”
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
