Revelation 3
1 “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of the One who holds the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation for being alive, yet you are dead.
Et Angelo Ecclesiae Sardis scribe: Haec dicit qui habet septem Spiritus Dei, et septem stellas: Scio opera tua, quia nomen habes quod vivas, et mortuus es.
2 Wake up and strengthen what remains, which was about to die; for I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of My God.
Esto vigilans, et confirma cetera, quae moritura erant. Non enim invenio opera tua plena coram Deo meo.
3 Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you.
In mente ergo habe qualiter acceperis, et audieris, et serva, et poenitentiam age. Si ergo non vigilaveris, veniam ad te tamquam fur, et nescies qua hora veniam ad te.
4 But you do have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments, and because they are worthy, they will walk with Me in white.
Sed habes pauca nomina in Sardis, qui non inquinaverunt vestimenta sua: et ambulabunt mecum in albis, quia digni sunt.
5 Like them, he who overcomes will be dressed in white. And I will never blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father and His angels.
Qui vicerit, sic vestietur vestimentis albis, et non delebo nomen eius de Libro vitae, et confitebor nomen eius coram Patre meo, et coram angelis eius.
6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis.
7 To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the One who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open.
Et Angelo Philadelphiae ecclesiae scribe: Haec dicit Sanctus et Verus, qui habet clavem David: qui aperit, et nemo claudit: claudit, et nemo aperit:
8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name.
Scio opera tua. Ecce dedi coram te ostium apertum, quod nemo potest claudere: quia modicam habes virtutem, et servasti verbum meum, et non negasti nomen meum.
9 Look at those who belong to the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews but are liars instead. I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will know that I love you.
Ecce dabo de synagoga satanae, qui dicunt se Iudaeos esse, et non sunt, sed mentiuntur: Ecce faciam illos ut veniant, et adorent ante pedes tuos: et scient quia ego dilexi te
10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
quoniam servasti verbum patientiae meae, et ego servabo te ab hora tentationis, quae ventura est in orbem universum tentare habitantes in terra.
11 I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
Ecce venio cito: tene quod habes, ut nemo accipiat coronam tuam.
12 The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will never again leave it. Upon him I will write the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from My God), and My new name.
Qui vicerit, faciam illum columnam in templo Dei mei, et foras non egredietur amplius: et scribam super eum nomen Dei mei, et nomen civitatis Dei mei novae Ierusalem, quae descendit de caelo a Deo meo, et nomen meum novum.
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis.
14 To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Originator of God’s creation.
Et Angelo Laodiciae ecclesiae scribe: Haec dicit: Amen, testis fidelis, et verus, qui est principium creaturae Dei.
15 I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other!
Scio opera tua: quia neque frigidus es, neque calidus: utinam frigidus esses, aut calidus:
16 So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth!
sed quia tepidus es, et nec frigidus, nec calidus, incipiam te evomere ex ore meo.
17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.
quia dicis: dives sum, et locupletatus, et nullius egeo: et nescis quia tu es miser, et miserabilis, et pauper, et caecus, et nudus.
18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, white garments so that you may be clothed and your shameful nakedness not exposed, and salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
Suadeo tibi emere a me aurum ignitum probatum ut locuples fias, et vestimentis albis induaris, ut non appareat confusio nuditatis tuae, et collyrio inunge oculos tuos ut videas.
19 Those I love, I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent.
Ego quos amo, arguo, et castigo. Aemulare ergo, et poenitentiam age.
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me.
Ecce sto ad ostium, et pulso: siquis audierit vocem meam, et aperuerit mihi ianuam, intrabo ad illum, et coenabo cum illo, et ipse mecum.
21 To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
Qui vicerit, dabo ei sedere mecum in throno meo: sicut et ego vici, et sedi cum patre meo in throno eius.
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis.
