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 which is in Ephesos, write: These saith the Holder of all, and of the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven candlesticks of gold.
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 thy patience, and (that) thou canst not bear evils; and hast tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.
3 Postojan si, podnio si za ime moje i nisi smalaksao.
And thou hast patience, and hast laboured on account of my name, and hast not fainted.
4 Ali imam protiv tebe: prvu si ljubav svoju ostavio.
But I have against thee, because thy first love thou hast forsaken.
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 whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works. But if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick from its place, if thou convert not.
6 Ali ovo imaš: mrziš nikolaitska djela koja i ja mrzim.”
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nikolitu, which also I (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 hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him who overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my 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 which is in Smurna, write: These saith the First and the Last, who was dead, and liveth.
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 works, and affliction, and poverty, but thou art rich; and the blasphemy of them who say of themselves that they are Jihudoyee, and are not, but the synagogue of Satana.
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 any thing of those that thou art to suffer; for, behold, it will be that the accuser will cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tried; and you will have affliction ten days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee the crown of life.
11 “Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama! Pobjedniku neće nauditi druga smrt.”
He who hath ears, let him hear what saith the Spirit to the churches. He who overcometh shall not be injured by 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 church which is in Pergamos, write: These saith he who hath the sharp sword with two edges.
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 thy works, and where thou dwellest, where (is) the throne of Satana; and thou hast held my name, and not denied my faith in those days when my witness was exposed, my faithful one, who was killed with you where dwelleth Satana.
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 against thee a little, because thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Belam, who taught Balok to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat that which the sons of idols (eat), and to commit fornication.
15 Tako i ti imaš takvih koji drže nauk nikolaitski.
So hast thou who hold the doctrine of the Nikolitu: of it,
16 Obrati se dakle! Inače dolazim ubrzo k tebi da ratujem s njima mačem usta svojih.”
in like (manner), repent; and if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will 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 hath ears, let him hear what saith the Spirit to the churches. To him who overcometh will I give to eat of the manna which is hidden; and I will give to him the white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth but he who receiveth.
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 and church which is in Thiatiros, write: These saith the Son of Aloha, who hath his eyes as the flame of fire, and his feet like refined 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 thy love and faith and service; and also thy patience, and thy last works to be greater 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 thy wife Izabel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat what the sons of idols (eat).
21 Dadoh joj vremena za obraćenje, ali ona neće da se obrati od bludnosti svoje.
And I gave her time when she might convert, and she willed not 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 into a bed, and those who have committed adultery with her into great affliction, if they repent not of their 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 sons will I kill with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you every one 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, to those of the rest who are in Thiatiros, all them who have not this doctrine, the men who know not the depths Of Satana, as they speak; I will not throw upon you another burden;
25 nego - što imate, čvrsto držite dok ne dođem.”
but that which you have, hold, until I come.
26 “Pobjedniku, onomu što do kraja bude vršio moja djela, dat ću vlast nad narodima
And he who conquereth, and he who keepeth until the end my works, I will give to him power over the peoples,
27 i vladat će njima palicom gvozdenom, kao posuđe glineno satirati ih -
and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and as a vessel of the potter shall they be destroyed, as also I 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 who hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
