Otkrivenje 3
1 I anđelu Crkve u Sardu napiši: “Ovo govori Onaj koji ima sedam duhova Božjih i sedam zvijezda: Znam tvoja djela: imaš ime da živiš, a mrtav si.
And to the angel of the church of Sardis, write: These things saith he, that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast the name of being alive: and thou art dead.
2 Budan budi i utvrdi ostatak koji tek što ne umre. Doista, ne nađoh da su ti djela pred Bogom mojim savršena.
Be watchful and strengthen the things that remain, which are ready to die. For I find not thy works full before my God.
3 Spomeni se dakle: kako si primio Riječ i poslušao, tako je i čuvaj - i obrati se. Ne budeš li dakle budan, doći ću kao tat, a nećeš znati u koji ću čas doći na te.
Have in mind therefore in what manner thou hast received and heard: and observe, and do penance. If then thou shalt not watch, I will come to thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come to thee.
4 Ali imaš u Sardu nekolicinu imena što ne okaljaše svojih haljina; oni će hoditi sa mnom u bjelini jer su dostojni.”
But thou hast a few names in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments: and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
5 “Tako će pobjednik biti odjeven u bijele haljine i neću izbrisati imena njegova iz knjige života i priznat ću ime njegovo pred Ocem svojim i anđelima njegovim.”
He that shall overcome, shall thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 “Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama!”
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
7 I anđelu Crkve u Filadelfiji napiši: “Ovo govori Sveti, Istiniti, Onaj koji ima ključ Davidov i kad otvori, nitko neće zatvoriti; kad zatvori, nitko neće otvoriti:
And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia, write: These things saith the Holy One and the true one, he that hath the key of David; he that openeth, and no man shutteth; shutteth, and no man openeth:
8 Znam tvoja djela. Evo, otvorio sam pred tobom vrata kojih nitko zatvoriti ne može. Doista, malena je tvoja snaga, a očuvao si moju riječ i nisi zatajio mog imena.
I know thy works. Behold, I have given before thee a door opened, which no man can shut: because thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Evo, dovest ću neke iz sinagoge Sotonine - koji sebe zovu Židovi, a nisu, nego lažu - evo, prisilit ću ih da dođu da ti se do nogu poklone te upoznaju da te ja ljubim.
Behold, I will bring of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will make them to come and adore before thy feet. And they shall know that I have loved thee.
10 Budući da si očuvao moju riječ o postojanosti, i ja ću očuvati tebe od časa kušnje koji ima doći na sav svijet da se iskušaju svi pozemljari.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will also keep thee from the hour of the temptation, which shall come upon the whole world to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Dolazim ubrzo. Čvrsto drži što imaš da ti nitko ne ugrabi vijenca.”
Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 “Pobjednika ću postaviti stupom u hramu Boga moga i odande on više neće izići i napisat ću na njemu ime Boga svoga i ime grada Boga svoga, novog Jeruzalema koji siđe s neba od Boga mojega, i ime moje novo.”
He that shall overcome, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; and he shall go out no more; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.
13 “Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama!”
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
14 I anđelu Crkve u Laodiceji napiši: “Ovo govori Amen, Svjedok vjerni i istiniti, Početak Božjeg stvorenja:
And to the angel of the church of Laodicea, write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, who is the beginning of the creation of God:
15 Znam tvoja djela: nisi ni studen ni vruć. O da si studen ili vruć!
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot.
16 Ali jer si mlak, ni vruć ni studen, povratit ću te iz usta.
But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth.
17 Govoriš: 'Bogat sam, obogatih se, ništa mi ne treba!' A ne znaš da si nevolja i bijeda, i ubog, i slijep, i gol.
Because thou sayest: I am rich, and made wealthy, and have need of nothing: and knowest not, that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
18 Savjetujem ti: kupi od mene zlata u vatri žežena da se obogatiš i bijele haljine da se odjeneš da se ne vidi tvoja sramotna golotinja; i pomasti da oči pomažeš i vidiš.
I counsel thee to buy of me gold fire tried, that thou mayest be made rich; and mayest be clothed in white garments, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 Ja korim i odgajam one koje ljubim. Revan budi i obrati se!
Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance.
20 Evo, na vratima stojim i kucam; posluša li tko glas moj i otvori mi vrata, unići ću k njemu i večerati s njim i on sa mnom.”
Behold, I stand at the gate, and knock. If any man shall hear my voice, and open to me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 “Pobjednika ću posjesti sa sobom na prijestolje svoje, kao što i ja, pobijedivši, sjedoh s Ocem svojim na prijestolje njegovo.”
To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 “Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama!”
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
