Revelation 3
1 “And to the messenger of the church in Sardis write: “These things says He who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: ‘I know your works, that you have a name that you are 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 the remaining things that you were about to throw away, for I have not found your works to be fulfilled before my God.
prabuddho bhava, avaśiṣṭaṁ yadyat mṛtakalpaṁ tadapi sabalīkuru yata īśvarasya sākṣāt tava karmmāṇi na siddhānīti pramāṇaṁ mayā prāptaṁ|
3 So remember how you have received and heard, and hold fast and repent; because if you do not watch, I will come upon you like a thief, and you will not know what hour 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 names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
tathāpi yaiḥ svavāsāṁsi na kalaṅkitāni tādṛśāḥ katipayalokāḥ sārddinagare 'pi tava vidyante te śubhraparicchadai rmama saṅge gamanāgamane kariṣyanti yataste yogyāḥ|
5 The one who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not erase his name from the Book of Life, and I will confess his name before my Father and before 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 is saying to the churches.
yasya śrotraṁ vidyate sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānām ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śṛṇotu|
7 “And to the messenger of the church in Philadelphia write: “These things says the Holy, the True, He who has the key of David, who opens and no one can shut it, except He who opens, and 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 works. Look, I have set before you an open door, that no one is able to shut; because you have a little strength and 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 See, I am determining that some of the synagogue of Satan, those who claim to be Jews and are not, but are lying—yes, I will cause them to come, and to do obeisance at your feet and to know that I have loved 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 endure, I also will keep you from the hour of the testing that is about to come upon the whole inhabited earth, 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 swiftly. Hold fast what you have so that no one may take your crown.
paśya mayā śīghram āgantavyaṁ tava yadasti tat dhāraya ko 'pi tava kirīṭaṁ nāpaharatu|
12 The one who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never again go out. And I will write on him the name of my God, the name of my God's city—the new Jerusalem, which 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 is saying to the churches.
yasya śrotraṁ vidyate sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānām ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śṛṇotu|
14 “And to the messenger of the church in Laodicea write: “These things says 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 works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.
tava kriyā mama gocarāḥ tvaṁ śīto nāsi tapto 'pi nāsīti jānāmi|
16 So then, since you are lukewarm, and 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 Because you say, “I am rich, even become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and do not realize that you are the most wretched—yes, the most pitiable and poor and 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 gold from me, refined by fire, so that you may become rich; and white garments, so that you may be clothed, and your nakedness not be shamefully exposed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, 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 As many as I love I rebuke and discipline; so be zealous and repent!
yeṣvahaṁ prīye tān sarvvān bhartsayāmi śāsmi ca, atastvam udyamaṁ vidhāya manaḥ parivarttaya|
20 “‘Now then, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone should hear my voice and open the door, I really will come in to him and eat 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 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 is saying to the churches.”
yasya śrotraṁ vidyate sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānam ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śṛṇotu|
