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.
aparaṁ sārddisthasamite rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha, yo jana īśvarasya saptātmanaḥ sapta tārāśca dhārayati sa eva bhāṣate, tava kriyā mama gocarāḥ, tvaṁ jīvadākhyo 'si tathāpi mṛto 'si tadapi jānāmi|
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.
prabuddho bhava, avaśiṣṭaṁ yadyat mṛtakalpaṁ tadapi sabalīkuru yata īśvarasya sākṣāt tava karmmāṇi na siddhānīti pramāṇaṁ mayā prāptaṁ|
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.
ataḥ kīdṛśīṁ śikṣāṁ labdhavān śrutavāścāsi tat smaran tāṁ pālaya svamanaḥ parivarttaya ca| cet prabuddho na bhavestarhyahaṁ stena iva tava samīpam upasthāsyāmi kiñca kasmin daṇḍe upasthāsyāmi tanna jñāsyasi|
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.
tathāpi yaiḥ svavāsāṁsi na kalaṅkitāni tādṛśāḥ katipayalokāḥ sārddinagare 'pi tava vidyante te śubhraparicchadai rmama saṅge gamanāgamane kariṣyanti yataste yogyāḥ|
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.
yo jano jayati sa śubhraparicchadaṁ paridhāpayiṣyante, ahañca jīvanagranthāt tasya nāma nāntardhāpayiṣyāmi kintu matpituḥ sākṣāt tasya dūtānāṁ sākṣācca tasya nāma svīkariṣyāmi|
6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
yasya śrotraṁ vidyate sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānām ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śṛṇotu|
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.
aparañca philādilphiyāsthasamite rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha, yaḥ pavitraḥ satyamayaścāsti dāyūdaḥ kuñjikāṁ dhārayati ca yena mocite 'paraḥ ko'pi na ruṇaddhi ruddhe cāparaḥ ko'pi na mocayati sa eva bhāṣate|
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.
tava kriyā mama gocarāḥ paśya tava samīpe 'haṁ muktaṁ dvāraṁ sthāpitavān tat kenāpi roddhuṁ na śakyate yatastavālpaṁ balamāste tathāpi tvaṁ mama vākyaṁ pālitavān mama nāmno 'svīkāraṁ na kṛtavāṁśca|
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.
paśya yihūdīyā na santo ye mṛṣāvādinaḥ svān yihūdīyān vadanti teṣāṁ śayatānasamājīyānāṁ kāṁścid aham āneṣyāmi paśya te madājñāta āgatya tava caraṇayoḥ praṇaṁsyanti tvañca mama priyo 'sīti jñāsyanti|
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.
tvaṁ mama sahiṣṇutāsūcakaṁ vākyaṁ rakṣitavānasi tatkāraṇāt pṛthivīnivāsināṁ parīkṣārthaṁ kṛtsnaṁ jagad yenāgāmiparīkṣādinenākramiṣyate tasmād ahamapi tvāṁ rakṣiṣyāmi|
11 I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
paśya mayā śīghram āgantavyaṁ tava yadasti tat dhāraya ko 'pi tava kirīṭaṁ nāpaharatu|
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.
yo jano jayati tamahaṁ madīyeśvarasya mandire stambhaṁ kṛtvā sthāpayisyāmi sa puna rna nirgamiṣyati| aparañca tasmin madīyeśvarasya nāma madīyeśvarasya puryyā api nāma arthato yā navīnā yirūśānam purī svargāt madīyeśvarasya samīpād avarokṣyati tasyā nāma mamāpi nūtanaṁ nāma lekhiṣyāmi|
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
yasya śrotraṁ vidyate sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānām ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śṛṇotu|
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.
aparañca lāyadikeyāsthasamite rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha, ya āmen arthato viśvāsyaḥ satyamayaśca sākṣī, īśvarasya sṛṣṭerādiścāsti sa eva bhāṣate|
15 I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other!
tava kriyā mama gocarāḥ tvaṁ śīto nāsi tapto 'pi nāsīti jānāmi|
16 So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth!
tava śītatvaṁ taptatvaṁ vā varaṁ bhavet, śīto na bhūtvā tapto 'pi na bhūtvā tvamevambhūtaḥ kadūṣṇo 'si tatkāraṇād ahaṁ svamukhāt tvām udvamiṣyāmi|
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.
ahaṁ dhanī samṛddhaścāsmi mama kasyāpyabhāvo na bhavatīti tvaṁ vadasi kintu tvameva duḥkhārtto durgato daridro 'ndho nagnaścāsi tat tvayā nāvagamyate|
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.
tvaṁ yad dhanī bhavestadarthaṁ matto vahnau tāpitaṁ suvarṇaṁ krīṇīhi nagnatvāt tava lajjā yanna prakāśeta tadarthaṁ paridhānāya mattaḥ śubhravāsāṁsi krīṇīhi yacca tava dṛṣṭiḥ prasannā bhavet tadarthaṁ cakṣurlepanāyāñjanaṁ mattaḥ krīṇīhīti mama mantraṇā|
19 Those I love, I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent.
yeṣvahaṁ prīye tān sarvvān bhartsayāmi śāsmi ca, atastvam udyamaṁ vidhāya manaḥ parivarttaya|
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.
paśyāhaṁ dvāri tiṣṭhan tad āhanmi yadi kaścit mama ravaṁ śrutvā dvāraṁ mocayati tarhyahaṁ tasya sannidhiṁ praviśya tena sārddhaṁ bhokṣye so 'pi mayā sārddhaṁ bhokṣyate|
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.
aparamahaṁ yathā jitavān mama pitrā ca saha tasya siṁhāsana upaviṣṭaścāsmi, tathā yo jano jayati tamahaṁ mayā sārddhaṁ matsiṁhāsana upaveśayiṣyāmi|
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
yasya śrotraṁ vidyate sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānam ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śṛṇotu|
