Revelation 2
1 “To the messenger of the Ephesian assembly write: These things says He who is holding the seven stars in His right hand, who is walking in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:
Skriv til Menighedens Engel i Efesus: Dette siger han, som holder de syv Stjerner i sin højre Haand, han, som vandrer midt imellem de syv Guldlysestager:
2 I have known your works, and your labor, and your endurance, and that you are not able to bear evil ones, and that you have tried those saying themselves to be apostles and are not, and have found them liars,
Jeg kender dine Gerninger og dit Arbejde og din Udholdenhed og at du ikke kan fordrage de onde; og du prøvede dem, som kalde sig selv Apostle og ikke ere det, og du har fundet, at de ere Løgnere;
3 and you bore, and have endurance, and have toiled because of My Name, and have not been weary.
og du har Udholdenhed, og du har døjet ondt for mit Navns Skyld og er ikke bleven træt.
4 But I have against you that you left your first love!
Men jeg har det imod dig, at du har forladt din første Kærlighed.
5 Remember, then, from where you have fallen, and convert, and do the first works; and if not, I come to you quickly, and will remove your lampstand from its place—if you may not convert;
Kom derfor i Hu, hvorfra du er falden, og omvend dig, og gør de forrige Gerninger; men hvis ikke, da kommer jeg over dig, og jeg vil flytte din Lysestage fra dens Sted, hvis du ikke omvender dig.
6 but this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, that I also hate.
Dog, dette har du, at du hader Nikolaiternes Gerninger, som ogsaa jeg hader.
7 He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming—I will give to him to eat of the Tree of Life that is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Den, som har Øre, høre, hvad Aanden siger til Menighederne! Den, som sejrer, ham vil jeg give at æde af Livets Træ, som er i Guds Paradis.
8 And to the messenger of the assembly of the Smyrneans write: These things says the First and the Last, who became dead and lived:
Og skriv til Menighedens Engel i Smyrna: Dette siger den første og den sidste, han, som var død og blev levende:
9 I have known your works, and tribulation, and poverty—yet you are rich—and the slander of those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but [are] a synagogue of Satan.
Jeg kender din Trængsel og din Fattigdom (dog, du er rig), og Bespottelsen fra dem, som kalde sig selv Jøder og ikke ere det, men ere Satans Synagoge.
10 Do not be afraid of the things that you are about to suffer; behold, the Devil is about to cast [some] of you into prison, that you may be tried, and you will have tribulation ten days; become faithful to death, and I will give to you the garland of life.
Frygt ikke, for hvad du vil komme til at lide! Se, Djævelen vil kaste nogle af eder i Fængsel, for at I skulle fristes, og I skulle have Trængsel i ti Dage. Vær tro indtil Døden, saa vil jeg give dig Livets Krone.
11 He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies: He who is overcoming may not be injured of the second death.
Den, som har Øre, høre, hvad Aanden siger til Menighederne! Den, som sejrer, skal ingenlunde skades af den anden Død.
12 And to the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says He who is having the sharp two-edged sword:
Og skriv til Menighedens Engel i Pergamus: Dette siger han, som har det tveæggede, skarpe Sværd:
13 I have known your works, and where you dwell—where the throne of Satan [is]—and you hold fast My Name, and you did not deny My faith, even in the days in which Antipas [was] My faithful witness, who was put to death beside you, where Satan dwells.
Jeg ved, hvor du bor, der, hvor Satans Trone er; og du holder fast ved mit Navn og fornægtede ikke min Tro, i Antipas's, mit tro Vidnes Dage, han, som blev ihjelslaaet hos eder, der, hvor Satan bor.
14 But I have a few things against you: that you have there those holding the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices, and to commit whoredom;
Men jeg har noget lidet imod dig, at du har nogle hos dig, som holde fast ved Bileams Lære, der lærte Balak at sætte Snare for Israels Børn, for at de skulde spise Afgudsofferkød og bedrive Utugt.
15 so have you, even you, those holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans—which thing I hate.
Saaledes har ogsaa du dem, som holde fast ved Nikolaiternes Lære paa lignende Vis.
16 Convert! And if not, I come to you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
Omvend dig! Men hvis ikke, kommer jeg snart over dig og vil stride imod dem med min Munds Sværd.
17 He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving [it].
Den, som har Øre, høre, hvad Aanden siger til Menighederne! Den, som sejrer, ham vil jeg give af den skjulte Manna, og jeg vil give ham en hvid Sten og paa Stenen et nyt Navn skrevet, som ingen kender, uden den, der faar det.
18 And to the messenger of the assembly of Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, who is having His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like to frankincense-colored brass:
Og skriv til Menighedens Engel i Thyatira: Dette siger Guds Søn, der har Øjne som Ildslue, og hvis Fødder ere som skinnende Malm:
19 I have known your works, and love, and ministry, and faith, and your endurance, and your works—and the last [are] more than the first.
Jeg kender dine Gerninger og din Kærlighed og Tro og Tjeneste og Udholdenhed, ja, dine Gerninger, de sidste flere end de første.
20 But I have a few things against you: that you allow the woman Jezebel, who is calling herself a prophetess, to teach, and to lead astray, My servants to commit whoredom, and to eat idol-sacrifices;
Men jeg har imod dig, at du finder dig i Kvinden Jesabel, som kalder sig selv en Profetinde og lærer og forfører mine Tjenere til at bedrive Utugt og spise Afgudsofferkød.
21 and I gave to her a time that she might convert from her whoredom, and she did not convert;
Og jeg har givet hende Tid til at omvende sig, men hun vil ikke omvende sig fra sin Utugt.
22 behold, I will cast her into a bed, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation—if they may not convert from her works,
Se, jeg kaster hende paa Sygelejet og hendes Bolere i stor Trængsel, dersom de ikke omvende sig fra deres Gerninger.
23 and I will kill her children in death, and all the assemblies will know that I am He who is searching affections and hearts; and I will give to you—to each—according to your works.
Og hendes Børn vil jeg slaa med Død, og alle Menighederne skulle kende, at jeg er den, som ransager Nyrer og Hjerter; og jeg vil give eder, hver efter eders Gerninger.
24 And to you I say, and to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, and who did not know the depths of Satan, as they say—I will not put on you another burden,
Men til eder, de øvrige, som ere i Thyatira, saa mange som ikke have denne Lære, fordi de ikke kende Satans Dybder, som de kalde det, til eder siger jeg: Jeg lægger ingen anden Byrde paa eder.
25 but hold that which you have, until I may come;
Kun skulle I holde fast ved det, I have, indtil jeg kommer.
26 and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping My works to the end, I will give to him authority over the nations,
Og den, som sejrer, og som indtil Enden tager Vare paa mine Gerninger, ham vil jeg give Magt over Hedningerne;
27 and he will rule them with a rod of iron—they will be broken as the vessels of the potter—as I have also received from My Father;
og med en Jernstav skal han vogte dem, ligesom Lerkar sønderknuses, ligesom ogsaa jeg har modtaget det af min Fader;
28 and I will give to him the morning star.
og jeg vil give ham Morgenstjernen.
29 He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
Den, som har Øre, høre, hvad Aanden siger til Menighederne!
