Revelation 3
1 “And to the Angel of the Church of Sardis write: Thus says he who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have a name which is alive, but 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 Be vigilant, and confirm the things that remain, lest they soon die out. For I do not find your works to be full in the sight of my God.
Esto vigilans, et confirma cetera, quae moritura erant. Non enim invenio opera tua plena coram Deo meo.
3 Therefore, keep in mind the way that you have received and heard, and then observe it and repent. But if you will not be vigilant, I will come to you like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to 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 have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments. And these shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
Sed habes pauca nomina in Sardis, qui non inquinaverunt vestimenta sua: et ambulabunt mecum in albis, quia digni sunt.
5 Whoever prevails, so shall he be clothed in white vestments. And I will not delete his name from the Book of Life. And I will confess his name in the presence of my Father and in the presence of 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 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis.
7 And to the Angel of the Church of Philadelphia write: Thus says the Holy One, the True One, he who holds the key of David. He opens and no one closes. He closes and no one opens.
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 works. Behold, I have set an open door before you, which no one is able to close. For you have little power, and you have observed my word, and you 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 Behold, I will take from the synagogue of Satan those who declare themselves to be Jews and are not, for they are lying. Behold, I will cause them to approach and to reverence before your feet. And they shall know that I have loved 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 Since you have kept the word of my patient endurance, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall overcome the whole world in order to test those living upon 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 Behold, I am approaching quickly. Hold on to what you have, so that no one may take your crown.
Ecce venio cito: tene quod habes, ut nemo accipiat coronam tuam.
12 Whoever prevails, I will set him as a column in the temple of my God, and he shall not depart from it anymore. And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that descends 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 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis.
14 And to the Angel of the Church of Laodicea write: Thus says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, who is the Beginning of the creation of God:
Et Angelo Laodiciae ecclesiae scribe: Haec dicit: Amen, testis fidelis, et verus, qui est principium creaturae Dei.
15 I know your works: that you are neither cold, nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot.
Scio opera tua: quia neque frigidus es, neque calidus: utinam frigidus esses, aut calidus:
16 But because you are lukewarm and are neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth.
sed quia tepidus es, et nec frigidus, nec calidus, incipiam te evomere ex ore meo.
17 For you declare, ‘I am wealthy, and I have been enriched further, and I have need of nothing.’ And you do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and 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 urge you to buy from me gold, tested by fire, so that you may be enriched and may be clothed in white vestments, and so that the shame of your nakedness may disappear. And anoint your eyes with an eye salve, 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 whom I love, I rebuke and chastise. Therefore, be zealous and do penance.
Ego quos amo, arguo, et castigo. Aemulare ergo, et poenitentiam age.
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone will hear my voice and will open the door to me, I will enter to him, and I will 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 Whoever prevails, I will grant to him to sit with me on my throne, just as I also have overcome and have 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 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.”
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis.
