< Revelation 2 >

1 VNto the Angel of the Church of Ephesus write, These things saieth he that holdeth the seuen starres in his right hand, and walketh in the middes of the seuen golden candlestickes.
iphiṣasthasamitē rdūtaṁ prati tvam idaṁ likha; yō dakṣiṇakarēṇa sapta tārā dhārayati saptānāṁ suvarṇadīpavr̥kṣāṇāṁ madhyē gamanāgamanē karōti ca tēnēdam ucyatē|
2 I knowe thy workes, and thy labour, and thy patience, and howe thou canst not beare with them which are euill, and hast examined them which say they are Apostles, and are not, and hast found the liars.
tava kriyāḥ śramaḥ sahiṣṇutā ca mama gōcarāḥ, tvaṁ duṣṭān sōḍhuṁ na śaknōṣi yē ca prēritā na santaḥ svān prēritān vadanti tvaṁ tān parīkṣya mr̥ṣābhāṣiṇō vijñātavān,
3 And thou wast burdened, and hast patience, and for my Names sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
aparaṁ tvaṁ titikṣāṁ vidadhāsi mama nāmārthaṁ bahu sōḍhavānasi tathāpi na paryyaklāmyastadapi jānāmi|
4 Neuertheles, I haue somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first loue.
kiñca tava viruddhaṁ mayaitat vaktavyaṁ yat tava prathamaṁ prēma tvayā vyahīyata|
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and doe the first workes: or els I will come against thee shortly, and will remooue thy candlesticke out of his place, except thou amend.
ataḥ kutaḥ patitō 'si tat smr̥tvā manaḥ parāvarttya pūrvvīyakriyāḥ kuru na cēt tvayā manasi na parivarttitē 'haṁ tūrṇam āgatya tava dīpavr̥kṣaṁ svasthānād apasārayiṣyāmi|
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the workes of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
tathāpi tavēṣa guṇō vidyatē yat nīkalāyatīyalōkānāṁ yāḥ kriyā aham r̥tīyē tāstvamapi r̥tīyamē|
7 Let him that hath an eare, heare, what the Spirite saith vnto the Churches, To him that ouercommeth, will I giue to eate of the tree of life which is in the middes of the Paradise of God.
yasya śrōtraṁ vidyatē sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānām ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śr̥ṇōtu| yō janō jayati tasmā aham īśvarasyārāmasthajīvanatarōḥ phalaṁ bhōktuṁ dāsyāmi|
8 And vnto the Angel of the Church of the Smyrnians write, These things saith he that is first, and last, which was dead and is aliue.
aparaṁ smurṇāsthasamitē rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha; ya ādirantaśca yō mr̥tavān punarjīvitavāṁśca tēnēdam ucyatē,
9 I knowe thy workes and tribulation, and pouertie (but thou art riche) and I knowe the blasphemie of them, which say they are Iewes, and are not, but are the Synagogue of Satan.
tava kriyāḥ klēśō dainyañca mama gōcarāḥ kintu tvaṁ dhanavānasi yē ca yihūdīyā na santaḥ śayatānasya samājāḥ santi tathāpi svān yihūdīyān vadanti tēṣāṁ nindāmapyahaṁ jānāmi|
10 Feare none of those things, which thou shalt suffer: beholde, it shall come to passe, that the deuill shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tryed, and ye shall haue tribulation tenne dayes: be thou faithfull vnto the death, and I will giue thee the crowne of life.
tvayā yō yaḥ klēśaḥ sōḍhavyastasmāt mā bhaiṣīḥ paśya śayatānō yuṣmākaṁ parīkṣārthaṁ kāṁścit kārāyāṁ nikṣēpsyati daśa dināni yāvat klēśō yuṣmāsu varttiṣyatē ca| tvaṁ mr̥tyuparyyantaṁ viśvāsyō bhava tēnāhaṁ jīvanakirīṭaṁ tubhyaṁ dāsyāmi|
11 Let him that hath an eare, heare what the Spirit saith to the Churches. He that ouercommeth, shall not be hurt of the second death.
yasya śrōtraṁ vidyatē sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānām ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śr̥ṇōtu| yō jayati sa dvitīyamr̥tyunā na hiṁsiṣyatē|
12 And to the Angel of the Church, which is at Pergamus write, This saith he which hath that sharpe sworde with two edges.
aparaṁ pargāmasthasamitē rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha, yastīkṣṇaṁ dvidhāraṁ khaṅgaṁ dhārayati sa ēva bhāṣatē|
13 I knowe thy workes and where thou dwellest, euen where Satans throne is, and thou keepest my Name, and hast not denied my faith, euen in those dayes when Antipas my faithfull martyr was slaine among you, where Satan dwelleth.
tava kriyā mama gōcarāḥ, yatra śayatānasya siṁhāsanaṁ tatraiva tvaṁ vasasi tadapi jānāmi| tvaṁ mama nāma dhārayasi madbhaktērasvīkārastvayā na kr̥tō mama viśvāsyasākṣiṇa āntipāḥ samayē 'pi na kr̥taḥ| sa tu yuṣmanmadhyē 'ghāni yataḥ śayatānastatraiva nivasati|
14 But I haue a fewe things against thee, because thou hast there them that maintaine the doctrine of Balaam, which taught Balac to put a stumbling blocke before ye children of Israel, that they should eate of things sacrificed vnto Idoles, and commit fornication.
tathāpi tava viruddhaṁ mama kiñcid vaktavyaṁ yatō dēvaprasādādanāya paradāragamanāya cēsrāyēlaḥ santānānāṁ sammukha unmāthaṁ sthāpayituṁ bālāk yēnāśikṣyata tasya biliyamaḥ śikṣāvalambinastava kēcit janāstatra santi|
15 Euen so hast thou them, that maintaine the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
tathā nīkalāyatīyānāṁ śikṣāvalambinastava kēcit janā api santi tadēvāham r̥tīyē|
16 Repent thy selfe, or els I will come vnto thee shortly, and will fight against them with the sworde of my mouth.
atō hētōstvaṁ manaḥ parivarttaya na cēdahaṁ tvarayā tava samīpamupasthāya madvaktasthakhaṅgēna taiḥ saha yōtsyāmi|
17 Let him that hath an eare, heare what the Spirite saith vnto the Churches. To him that ouercommeth, will I giue to eate of the Manna that is hid, and will giue him a white stone, and in the stone a newe name written, which no man knoweth sauing he that receiueth it.
yasya śrōtraṁ vidyatē sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānām ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śr̥ṇōtu| yō janō jayati tasmā ahaṁ guptamānnāṁ bhōktuṁ dāsyāmi śubhraprastaramapi tasmai dāsyāmi tatra prastarē nūtanaṁ nāma likhitaṁ tacca grahītāraṁ vinā nānyēna kēnāpyavagamyatē|
18 And vnto ye Angel of the Church which is at Thyatira write, These things saith the Sonne of God, which hath his eyes like vnto a flame of fire, and his feete like fine brasse.
aparaṁ thuyātīrāsthasamitē rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha| yasya lōcanē vahniśikhāsadr̥śē caraṇau ca supittalasaṅkāśau sa īśvaraputrō bhāṣatē,
19 I knowe thy workes and thy loue, and seruice, and faith, and thy patience, and thy workes, and that they are more at the last, then at the first.
tava kriyāḥ prēma viśvāsaḥ paricaryyā sahiṣṇutā ca mama gōcarāḥ, tava prathamakriyābhyaḥ śēṣakriyāḥ śrēṣṭhāstadapi jānāmi|
20 Notwithstanding, I haue a few things against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Iezabel, which calleth her selfe a prophetesse, to teache and to deceiue my seruants to make them commit fornication, and to eate meates sacrificed vnto idoles.
tathāpi tava viruddhaṁ mayā kiñcid vaktavyaṁ yatō yā īṣēbalnāmikā yōṣit svāṁ bhaviṣyadvādinīṁ manyatē vēśyāgamanāya dēvaprasādāśanāya ca mama dāsān śikṣayati bhrāmayati ca sā tvayā na nivāryyatē|
21 And I gaue her space to repent of her fornication, and she repented not.
ahaṁ manaḥparivarttanāya tasyai samayaṁ dattavān kintu sā svīyavēśyākriyātō manaḥparivarttayituṁ nābhilaṣati|
22 Beholde, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit fornication with her, into great affliction, except they repent them of their workes.
paśyāhaṁ tāṁ śayyāyāṁ nikṣēpsyāmi, yē tayā sārddhaṁ vyabhicāraṁ kurvvanti tē yadi svakriyābhyō manāṁsi na parāvarttayanti tarhi tānapi mahāklēśē nikṣēpsyāmi
23 And I will kill her children with death: and all the Churches shall know that I am he which searche the reines and heartes: and I will giue vnto euery one of you according vnto your workes.
tasyāḥ santānāṁśca mr̥tyunā haniṣyāmi| tēnāham antaḥkaraṇānāṁ manasāñcānusandhānakārī yuṣmākamēkaikasmai ca svakriyāṇāṁ phalaṁ mayā dātavyamiti sarvvāḥ samitayō jñāsyanti|
24 And vnto you I say, the rest of them of Thyatira, As many as haue not this learning, neither haue knowen the deepenes of Satan (as they speake) I will put vpon you none other burden.
aparam avaśiṣṭān thuyātīrasthalōkān arthatō yāvantastāṁ śikṣāṁ na dhārayanti yē ca kaiścit śayatānasya gambhīrārthā ucyantē tān yē nāvagatavantastānahaṁ vadāmi yuṣmāsu kamapyaparaṁ bhāraṁ nārōpayiṣyāmi;
25 But that which ye haue alreadie, hold fast till I come.
kintu yad yuṣmākaṁ vidyatē tat mamāgamanaṁ yāvad dhārayata|
26 For he that ouercommeth and keepeth my workes vnto the end, to him will I giue power ouer nations,
yō janō jayati śēṣaparyyantaṁ mama kriyāḥ pālayati ca tasmā aham anyajātīyānām ādhipatyaṁ dāsyāmi;
27 And he shall rule them with a rodde of yron: and as the vessels of a potter, shall they be broken.
pitr̥tō mayā yadvat kartr̥tvaṁ labdhaṁ tadvat sō 'pi lauhadaṇḍēna tān cārayiṣyati tēna mr̥dbhājanānīva tē cūrṇā bhaviṣyanti|
28 Euen as I receiued of my Father, so will I giue him the morning starre.
aparam ahaṁ tasmai prabhātīyatārām api dāsyāmi|
29 Let him that hath an eare, heare what the Spirite saith to the Churches.
yasya śrōtraṁ vidyatē sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānām ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śr̥ṇōtu|
