Revelation 2
1 “And to the Angel of the Church of Ephesus write: Thus says the One who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:
| اكْتُبْ إِلَى مَلاكِ الْكَنِيسَةِ فِي أَفَسُسَ: إِلَيْكَ مَا يَقُولُهُ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُ النُّجُومَ السَّبْعَ بِيَمِينِهِ وَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ مَنَائِرِ الذَّهَبِ السَّبْعِ: | ١ |
2 I know your works, and your hardship and patient endurance, and that you cannot stand those who are evil. And so, you have tested those who declare themselves to be Apostles and are not, and you have found them to be liars.
| إِنِّي عَالِمٌ بِأَعْمَالِكَ، وَجَهْدِكَ، وَصَبْرِكَ، وَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ احْتِمَالَ الأَشْرَارِ، وَأَنَّكَ دَقَّقْتَ فِي فَحْصِ ادِّعَاءَاتِ أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ رُسُلٌ، وَمَا هُمْ بِرُسُلٍ، فَتَبَيَّنَ لَكَ أَنَّهُمْ دَجَّالُونَ! | ٢ |
3 And you have patient endurance for the sake of my name, and you have not fallen away.
| وَقَدْ تَأَلَّمْتَ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي بِصَبْرٍ وَبِغَيْرِ كَلَلٍ. | ٣ |
4 But I have this against you: that you have relinquished your first charity.
| وَلِي عَلَيْكَ أَنَّكَ تَرَكْتَ مَحَبَّتَكَ الأُولَى! | ٤ |
5 And so, call to mind the place from which you have fallen, and do penance, and do the first works. Otherwise, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
| فَاذْكُرْ مِنْ أَيْنَ سَقَطْتَ، وَتُبْ رَاجِعاً إِلَى أَعْمَالِكَ السَّابِقَةِ، وَإلَّا أَتَيْتُ وَزَحْزَحْتُ مَنَارَتَكَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِهَا إِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تَتُوبُ! | ٥ |
6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
| أَمَّا مَا يَسُرُّنِي فِيكَ فَهُوَ أَنَّكَ تَكْرَهُ أَعْمَالَ النِّيقُولاوِيِّينَ الَّتِي أَكْرَهُهَا أَنَا أَيْضاً. | ٦ |
7 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. To him who prevails, I will give to eat from the Tree of Life, which is in the Paradise of my God.
| مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ فَلْيَسْمَعْ مَا يَقُولُهُ الرُّوحُ لِلْكَنَائِسِ! كُلُّ مَنْ يَنْتَصِرُ سَأُطْعِمُهُ مِنْ ثَمَرِ شَجَرَةِ الْحَيَاةِ فِي فِرْدَوْسِ اللهِ. | ٧ |
8 And to the Angel of the Church of Smyrna write: Thus says the First and the Last, he who was dead and now lives:
| وَاكْتُبْ إِلَى مَلاكِ الْكَنِيسَةِ فِي سِمِيرْنَا: إِلَيْكَ مَا يَقُولُهُ الأَوَّلُ وَالآخِرُ، الَّذِي كَانَ مَيْتاً وَعَادَ حَيًّا: | ٨ |
9 I know your tribulation and your poverty, but you are rich, and that you are blasphemed by those who declare themselves to be Jews and are not, but who are a synagogue of Satan.
| إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ كَمْ تُقَاسِي مِنْ ضِيقٍ وَفَقْرٍ، رَغْمَ أَنَّكَ غَنِيٌّ. وَأَعْلَمُ تَجْرِيحَ الَّذِينَ يَدَّعُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يَهُودٌ وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا يَهُوداً، بَلْ هُمْ مَجْمَعٌ لِلشَّيْطَانِ! | ٩ |
10 You should fear nothing amid those things which you will suffer. Behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tested. And you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give to you the crown of life.
| دَعْ عَنْكَ الْخَوْفَ مِمَّا يَنْتَظِرُكَ مِنْ آلامٍ، فَإِنَّ إِبْلِيسَ سَيَزُجُّ بِبَعْضِكُمْ فِي السِّجْنِ لِكَيْ تُمْتَحَنُوا، فَتُقَاسُونَ الاضْطِهَادَ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ. فَابْقَ أَمِيناً حَتَّى الْمَوْتِ، فَأَمْنَحَكَ إِكْلِيلَ الْحَيَاةِ. | ١٠ |
11 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. Whoever will prevail, he shall not be harmed by the second death.
| مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنٌ فَلْيَسْمَعْ مَا يَقُولُهُ الرُّوحُ لِلْكَنَائِسِ! كُلُّ مَنْ يَنْتَصِرُ لَنْ يَلْحَقَ بِهِ أَذَى الْمَوْتِ الثَّانِي! | ١١ |
12 And to the Angel of the Church of Pergamus write: Thus says he who holds the sharp two-edged spear:
| وَاكْتُبْ إِلَى مَلاكِ الْكَنِيسَةِ فِي بَرْغَامُسَ: إِلَيْكَ مَا يَقُولُهُ صَاحِبُ السَّيْفِ الْقَاطِعِ ذِي الْحَدَّيْنِ. | ١٢ |
13 I know where you dwell, where the seat of Satan is, and that you hold to my name and have not denied my faith, even in those days when Antipas was my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.
| إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَيْنَ تَسْكُنُ، حَيْثُ عَرْشُ الشَّيْطَانِ! وَرَغْمَ ذَلِكَ تَمَسَّكْتَ بِاسْمِي، وَرَفَضْتَ أَنْ تُنْكِرَ الإِيمَانَ بِي، حَتَّى فِي أَيَّامِ أَنْتِيبَاسَ شَهِيدِي الأَمِينِ، الَّذِي قُتِلَ عِنْدَكُمْ حَيْثُ يَسْكُنُ الشَّيْطَانُ! | ١٣ |
14 But I have a few things against you. For you have, in that place, those who hold to the doctrine of Balaam, who instructed Balak to cast a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat and to commit fornication.
| وَلَكِنِّي عَاتِبٌ عَلَيْكَ قَلِيلاً لأَنَّكَ تَتَسَامَحُ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ يَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِتَعْلِيمِ بَلْعَامَ عِنْدَمَا عَلَّمَ الْمَلِكَ بَالاقَ أَنْ يُدَمِّرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِتَوْرِيطِهِمْ فِي ارْتِكَابِ الزِّنَى وَالأَكْلِ مِنَ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُقَدَّمَةِ لِلأَصْنَامِ، | ١٤ |
15 And you also have those who hold to the doctrine of the Nicolaitans.
| هَكَذَا عِنْدَكَ أَنْتَ أَيْضاً قَوْمٌ يَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِتَعَالِيمِ النِّيقُولاوِيِّينَ! | ١٥ |
16 So do penance to the same extent. If you do less, I will come to you quickly and I will fight against these ones with the sword of my mouth.
| عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَتُوبَ، وَإلَّا جِئْتُكَ سَرِيعاً لأُحَارِبَ هَؤُلاءِ الضَّالِّينَ بِالسَّيْفِ الَّذِي فِي فَمِي. | ١٦ |
17 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. To him who prevails, I will give the hidden manna. And I will give to him a white emblem, and on the emblem, a new name has been written, which no one knows, except the one who receives it.
| مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنٌ فَلْيَسْمَعْ مَا يَقُولُهُ الرُّوحُ لِلْكَنَائِسِ! كُلُّ مَنْ سَيَنْتَصِرُ سَأُطْعِمُهُ مِنَ المَنِّ الْخَفِيِّ، وَأُعْطِيهِ حَجَراً صَغِيراً أَبْيَضَ حُفِرَ عَلَيْهِ اسْمٌ جَدِيدٌ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ إِلّا الَّذِي يَأْخُذُهُ! | ١٧ |
18 And to the Angel of the Church of Thyatira write: Thus says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like shining brass.
| وَاكْتُبْ إِلَى مَلاكِ الْكَنِيسَةِ فِي ثِيَاتِيرَا: إِلَيْكَ مَا يَقُولُهُ ابْنُ اللهِ الَّذِي عَيْنَاهُ كَلَهِيبِ نَارٍ وَرِجْلاهُ كَالنُّحَاسِ النَّقِيِّ: | ١٨ |
19 I know your works, and your faith and charity, and your ministry and patient endurance, and that your more recent works are greater than the earlier ones.
| إِنِّي عَالِمٌ بِأَعْمَالِكَ، وَمَحَبَّتِكَ، وَإِيمَانِكَ، وَتَضْحِيَتِكَ، وَصَبْرِكَ؛ وَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَعْمَالَكَ الأَخِيرَةَ زَادَتْ عَمَّا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ قَبْلاً! | ١٩ |
20 But I have a few things against you. For you permit the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants, to commit fornication and to eat the food of idolatry.
| وَلَكِنَّ لِي عَلَيْكَ أَنَّكَ تَتَسَاهَلُ مَعَ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ إِيزَابِلَ، الَّتِي تَدَّعِي أَنَّهَا نَبِيَّةٌ، فَتُعَلِّمُ عَبِيدِي وَتُغْوِيهِمْ أَنْ يَزْنُوا وَيَأْكُلُوا مِنَ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُقَدَّمَةِ لِلأَصْنَامِ. | ٢٠ |
21 And I gave her a time, so that she might do penance, but she is not willing to repent from her fornication.
| وَقَدْ أَمْهَلْتُهَا مُدَّةً لِتَتُوبَ تَارِكَةً زِنَاهَا، وَلَكِنَّهَا لَمْ تَتُبْ. | ٢١ |
22 Behold, I will cast her onto a bed, and those who commit adultery with her shall be in a very great tribulation, unless they repent from their works.
| فَإِنِّي سَأُلْقِيهَا عَلَى فِرَاشٍ، وَأَبْتَلِي الزَّانِينَ مَعَهَا بِمِحْنَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ، إِنْ كَانُوا لَا يَتُوبُونَ عَنْ أَعْمَالِهِمْ. | ٢٢ |
23 And I will put her sons to death, and all the Churches shall know that I am the one who examines temperaments and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works. But I say to you,
| سَأُبِيدُ أَوْلادَهَا بِالْمَوْتِ، فَتَعْرِفُ الْكَنَائِسُ كُلُّهَا أَنَّنِي أَنَا الَّذِي أَفْحَصُ الأَفْكَارَ وَالْقُلُوبَ، وَأُجَازِي كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ بِحَسَبِ أَعْمَالِهِ. | ٢٣ |
24 and to the others who are at Thyatira: Whoever does not hold to this doctrine, and who has not ‘known the depths of Satan,’ as they say, I will not set any other weight upon you.
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمُ، الْبَاقِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ ثِيَاتِيرَا، الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَتَقَبَّلُوا هَذَا التَّعْلِيمَ الْفَاسِدَ، وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا مَا يَدْعُونَهُ أَسْرَارَ الشَّيْطَانِ الْعَمِيقَةَ، فَلَنْ أُحَمِّلَكُمْ أَيَّ عِبْءٍ جَدِيدٍ. | ٢٤ |
25 Even so, that which you have, hold on to it until I return.
| فَقَطْ تَمَسَّكُوا بِمَا لَدَيْكُمْ إِلَى أَنْ أَجِيءَ. | ٢٥ |
26 And whoever will prevail and will observe my works even unto the end, I will give to him authority over the nations.
| كُلُّ مَنْ يَنْتَصِرُ، وَيَسْتَمِرُّ حَتَّى النِّهَايَةِ فِي فِعْلِ مَا يُرْضِينِي، فَسَوْفَ أُعْطِيهِ سُلْطَاناً عَلَى الأُمَمِ، | ٢٦ |
27 And he shall rule them with an iron rod, and they shall be broken like the earthenware of a potter.
| فَيَحْكُمُهُمْ بِعَصاً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، مِثْلَمَا أَخَذْتُ أَنَا مِنْ أَبِي سُلْطَاناً أَحْكُمُهُمْ بِهِ، فَيَتَحَطَّمُونَ كَمَا تَتَحَطَّمُ أَوَانِي الْخَزَفِ، | ٢٧ |
28 The same I also have received from my Father. And I will give to him the morning star.
| وَأَمْنَحُهُ كَوْكَبَ الصُّبْحِ! | ٢٨ |
29 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.”
| مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنٌ فَلْيَسْمَعْ مَا يَقُولُهُ الرُّوحُ لِلْكَنَائِسِ! | ٢٩ |
