Revelation 2
1 To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, he that walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:
Et Angelo Ephesi Ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit, qui tenet septem stellas in dextera sua, qui ambulat in medio septem candelabrorum aureorum:
2 I know thy works, and thy toil and patience, and that thou canst not bear evil men, and didst try them that call themselves apostles, and they are not, and didst find them false;
Scio opera tua, et laborem, et patientiam tuam, et quia non potes sustinere malos: et tentasti eos, qui se dicunt Apostolos esse, et non sunt: et invenisti eos mendaces:
3 and thou hast patience and didst bear for my name’s sake, and hast not grown weary.
et patientiam habes, et sustinuisti propter nomen meum, et non defecisti.
4 But I have [this] against thee, that thou didst leave thy first love.
Sed habeo adversum te, quod charitatem tuam primam reliquisti.
5 Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou repent.
Memor esto itaque unde excideris: et age pœnitentiam, et prima opera fac. Sin autem, venio tibi, et movebo candelabrum tuum de loco suo, nisi pœnitentiam egeris.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Sed hoc habes, quia odisti facta Nicolaitarum, quæ et ego odi.
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis: Vincenti dabo edere de ligno vitæ, quod est in Paradiso Dei mei.
8 And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and lived [again]:
Et Angelo Smyrnæ Ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit primus, et novissimus, qui fuit mortuus, et vivit:
9 I know thy tribulation, and thy poverty (but thou art rich), and the blasphemy of them that say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
Scio tribulationem tuam, et paupertatem tuam, sed dives es: et blasphemaris ab his, qui se dicunt Iudæos esse, et non sunt, sed sunt synagoga Satanæ.
10 Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to cast some 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 thee the crown of life.
Nihil horum timeas quæ passurus es. Ecce missurus est diabolus aliquos ex vobis in carcerem ut tentemini: et habebitis tribulationem diebus decem. Esto fidelis usque ad mortem, et dabo tibi coronam vitæ.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis: Qui vicerit, non lædetur a morte secunda.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword:
Et Angelo Pergami Ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit, qui habet rhomphæam utraque parte acutam:
13 I know where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan’s throne is; and thou holdest fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Scio ubi habitas, ubi sedes est Satanæ: et tenes nomen meum, et non negasti fidem meam. Et in diebus illis Antipas testis meus fidelis, qui occisus est apud vos, ubi Satanas habitat.
14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there some that hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.
Sed habeo adversus te pauca: quia habes illic tenentes doctrinam Balaam, qui docebat Balac mittere scandalum coram filiis Israel, edere, et fornicari:
15 So hast thou also some that hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans in like manner.
ita habes et tu tenentes doctrinam Nicolaitarum.
16 Repent therefore; or else I come to thee quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Similiter pœnitentiam age: si quo minus veniam tibi cito, et pugnabo cum illis in gladio oris mei.
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it.
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis: Vincenti dabo manna absconditum, et dabo illi calculum candidum: et in calculo nomen novum scriptum, quod nemo scit, nisi qui accipit.
18 And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like unto burnished brass:
Et Angelo Thyatiræ Ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit Filius Dei, qui habet oculos tamquam flammam ignis, et pedes eius similes aurichalco:
19 I know thy works, and thy love and faith and ministry and patience, and that thy last works are more than the first.
Novi opera tua, et fidem, et charitatem tuam, et ministerium, et patientiam tuam, et opera tua novissima plura prioribus.
20 But I have [this] against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess; and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
Sed habeo adversus te pauca: quia permittis mulierem Iezabel, quæ se dicit propheten, docere, et seducere servos meos, fornicari, et manducare de idolothytis.
21 And I gave her time that she should repent; and she willeth not to repent of her fornication.
Et dedi illi tempus ut pœnitentiam ageret: et non vult pœnitere a fornicatione sua.
22 Behold, I cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of her works.
Ecce mittam eam in lectum: et qui mœchantur cum ea, in tribulatione maxima erunt, nisi pœnitentiam ab operibus suis egerint.
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto each one of you according to your works.
Et filios eius interficiam in morte, et scient omnes Ecclesiæ, quia ego sum scrutans renes, et corda: et dabo unicuique vestrum secundum opera sua. Vobis autem dico,
24 But to you I say, to the rest that are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who know not the deep things of Satan, as they are wont to say; I cast upon you none other burden.
et ceteris qui Thyatiræ estis: Quicumque non habent doctrinam hanc, et qui non cognoverunt altitudines Satanæ, quemadmodum dicunt, non mittam super vos aliud pondus:
25 Nevertheless that which ye have, hold fast till I come.
tamen id, quod habetis, tenete donec veniam.
26 And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority over the nations:
Et qui vicerit, et custodierit usque in finem opera mea, dabo illi potestatem super gentes,
27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to shivers; as I also have received of my Father:
et reget eas in virga ferrea, et tamquam vas figuli confringentur,
28 and I will give him the morning star.
sicut et ego accepi a Patre meo: et dabo illi stellam matutinam.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis.
