Revelation 2
1 UNTO the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
Anđelu Crkve u Efezu napiši: “Ovo govori Onaj koji drži sedam zvijezda u desnici, Onaj koji stupa posred sedam zlatnih svijećnjaka:
2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
Znam tvoja djela, tvoj trud i postojanost tvoju i da ne možeš podnijeti opakih. Iskušao si one koji se prave apostolima, a nisu, i otkrio si da su lažljivci.
3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
Postojan si, podnio si za ime moje i nisi smalaksao.
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Ali imam protiv tebe: prvu si ljubav svoju ostavio.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Spomeni se dakle odakle si pao, obrati se i čini prva djela. Inače dolazim k tebi i - uklonit ću tvoj svijećnjak s mjesta njegova ako se ne obratiš.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Ali ovo imaš: mrziš nikolaitska djela koja i ja mrzim.”
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
“Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama! Pobjedniku ću dati jesti od stabla života koje je u raju Božjem.”
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
I anđelu Crkve u Smirni napiši: “Ovo govori Prvi i Posljednji, Onaj koji bijaše mrtav i oživje:
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Znam tvoju nevolju i siromaštvo - ali ti si bogat! - i pogrde od onih koji se nazivaju Židovima, a nisu, nego su sinagoga Sotonina.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Ne boj se onoga što ti je trpjeti! Evo, Sotona, će neke od vas baciti u tamnicu da budete iskušani. Bit ćete u nevolji deset dana. Budi vjeran do smrti i dat ću ti vijenac života.”
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
“Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama! Pobjedniku neće nauditi druga smrt.”
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
I anđelu Crkve u Pergamu napiši: “Ovo govori Onaj u koga je mač dvosjek, oštar:
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Znam gdje prebivaš - ondje gdje je Sotonino prijestolje - a čvrsto se držiš moga imena te nisi zanijekao moje vjere ni u one dane kad je Antipa, moj svjedok, vjerni moj, ubijen kod vas - gdje Sotona prebiva.
14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Ali imam nešto malo protiv tebe: imaš ondje nekih što drže nauk Bileama što pouči Balaka da stupicu stavi sinovima Izraelovim te blaguju od mesa žrtvovana idolima i bludu se podadu.
15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Tako i ti imaš takvih koji drže nauk nikolaitski.
16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Obrati se dakle! Inače dolazim ubrzo k tebi da ratujem s njima mačem usta svojih.”
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
“Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama! Pobjedniku ću dati mane sakrivene i bijel ću mu kamen dati, a na kamenu napisano ime novo koje nitko ne zna doli onaj koji ga prima.”
18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
I anđelu Crkve u Tijatiri napiši: “Ovo govori Sin Božji, Onaj u koga su oči kao plamen ognjeni, a noge mu nalik na mjed uglađenu:
19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
Znam tvoja djela: tvoju ljubav, i vjeru, i služenje, i postojanost - i tvoja posljednja djela obilatija od prvašnjih.
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Ali imam protiv tebe: puštaš ženu Jezabelu, koja se pravi proročicom, da uči i zavodi moje sluge te se bludu podaju i blaguju od mesa žrtvovana idolima.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Dadoh joj vremena za obraćenje, ali ona neće da se obrati od bludnosti svoje.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Evo, bacam je na postelju, a bludne drugare njene u veliku nevolju ako se ne odvrate od njezinih djela;
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
i djecu ću joj smrću pobiti. I znat će sve crkve: Ja sam Onaj koji istražuje bubrege i srca - i dat ću vam svakomu po djelima.
24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
Vama pak velim - vama drugim u Tijatiri koji ne drže ovog nauka te ne upoznaše takozvanih dubina sotonskih: Ne stavljam na vas drugoga bremena
25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
nego - što imate, čvrsto držite dok ne dođem.”
26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
“Pobjedniku, onomu što do kraja bude vršio moja djela, dat ću vlast nad narodima
27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
i vladat će njima palicom gvozdenom, kao posuđe glineno satirati ih -
28 And I will give him the morning star.
kao što i ja to primih od Oca svoga. I dat ću mu zvijezdu Danicu.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama!”
