Revelation 2
1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of Him who holds the seven stars in His right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands.
Et Angelo Ephesi Ecclesiae scribe: Haec dicit, qui tenet septem stellas in dextera sua, qui ambulat in medio septem candelabrorum aureorum:
2 I know your deeds, your labor, and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and you have tested and exposed as liars those who falsely claim to be apostles.
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 Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name.
et patientiam habes, et sustinuisti propter nomen meum, et non defecisti.
4 But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love.
Sed habeo adversum te pauca, quod charitatem tuam primam reliquisti.
5 Therefore, keep in mind how far you have fallen. Repent and perform the deeds you did at first. But if you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
Memor esto itaque unde excideris: et age poenitentiam, et prima opera fac. sin autem, veniam tibi cito, et movebo candelabrum tuum de loco suo, nisi poenitentiam egeris.
6 But you have this to your credit: You hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Sed hoc habes, quia odisti facta Nicolaitarum, quae et ego odi.
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of life in the Paradise of God.
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis: Vincenti dabo edere de ligno vitae, quod est in Paradiso Dei mei.
8 To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of the First and the Last, who died and returned to life.
Et Angelo Smyrnae Ecclesiae scribe: Haec dicit primus, et novissimus, qui fuit mortuus, et vivit:
9 I know your affliction and your poverty—though you are rich! And I am aware of the slander of those who falsely claim to be Jews, but are in fact a synagogue of Satan.
Scio tribulationem tuam, et paupertatem tuam, sed dives es: et blasphemaris ab his, qui se dicunt Iudaeos esse, et non sunt, sed sunt synagogae satanae.
10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Nihil horum timeas quae 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 vitae.
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who overcomes will not be harmed by the second death.
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis: Qui vicerit, non laedetur a morte secunda.
12 To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of the One who holds the sharp, double-edged sword.
Et Angelo Pergami Ecclesiae scribe: Haec dicit qui habet rhomphaeam ex utraque parte acutam:
13 I know where you live, where the throne of Satan sits. Yet you have held fast to My name and have not denied your faith in Me, even in the day when My faithful witness Antipas was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
Scio ubi habitas, ubi sedes est satanae: 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 you, because some of you hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block before the Israelites so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality.
Sed habeo adversus te pauca: quia habes illic tenentes doctrinam Balaam, qui docebat Balac mittere scandalum coram filiis Israel, edere, et fornicari:
15 In the same way, some of you also hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
ita habes et tu tenentes doctrinam Nicolaitarum.
16 Therefore repent! Otherwise I will come to you shortly and wage war against them with the sword of My mouth.
Similiter poenitentiam age: si quo minus veniam tibi cito, et pugnabo cum illis in gladio oris mei.
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will give the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone inscribed with a new name, known only to the one who receives 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 To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like a blazing fire and whose feet are like polished bronze.
Et Angelo Thyatirae Ecclesiae scribe: Haec dicit Filius Dei, qui habet oculos tamquam flammam ignis, et pedes eius similes aurichalco:
19 I know your deeds—your love, your faith, your service, your perseverance—and your latter deeds are greater than your 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 you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads My servants to be sexually immoral and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
Sed habeo adversus te pauca: quia permittis mulierem Iezabel, quae se dicit propheten, docere, et seducere servos meos, fornicari, et manducare de idolothytis.
21 Even though I have given her time to repent of her immorality, she is unwilling.
Et dedi illi tempus ut poenitentiam ageret: et non vult poenitere a fornicatione sua.
22 Behold, I will cast her onto a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer great tribulation unless they repent of her deeds.
Ecce ego mitto eam in lectum: et qui moechantur cum ea, in tribulatione maxima erunt, nisi poenitentiam ab operibus suis egerint.
23 Then I will strike her children dead, and all the churches will know that I am the One who searches minds and hearts, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
et filios eius interficiam in morte, et scient omnes Ecclesiae, quia ego sum scrutans renes, et corda: et dabo unicuique vestrum secundum opera sua. Vobis autem dico,
24 But I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned the so-called deep things of Satan: I will place no further burden upon you.
et ceteris quia Thyatirae estis: Quicumque non habent doctrinam hanc, et qui non cognoverunt altitudines satanae, quemadmodum dicunt, non mittam super vos aliud pondus:
25 Nevertheless, hold fast to what you have until I come.
tamen id, quod habetis, tenete donec veniam.
26 And to the one who overcomes and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations.
Et qui vicerit, et custodierit usque in finem opera mea, dabo illi potestatem super Gentes,
27 He will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery —just as I have received authority from 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 who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis.
