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:
Et Angelo Ephesi Ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit, qui tenet septem stellas in dextera sua, qui ambulat in medio septem candelabrorum aureorum:
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,
Scio opera tua, et laborem, et patientiam tuam, et quia non potes sustinere malos: et tentasti eos, qui se dicunt Apostolos esse, et non sunt: et invenisti eos mendaces:
3 and you bore, and have endurance, and have toiled because of My Name, and have not been weary.
et patientiam habes, et sustinuisti propter nomen meum, et non defecisti.
4 But I have against you that you left your first love!
Sed habeo adversum te, quod charitatem tuam primam reliquisti.
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;
Memor esto itaque unde excideris: et age pœnitentiam, et prima opera fac. Sin autem, venio tibi, et movebo candelabrum tuum de loco suo, nisi pœnitentiam egeris.
6 but this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, that I also hate.
Sed hoc habes, quia odisti facta Nicolaitarum, quæ et ego odi.
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.
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis: Vincenti dabo edere de ligno vitæ, quod est in Paradiso Dei mei.
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:
Et Angelo Smyrnæ Ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit primus, et novissimus, qui fuit mortuus, et vivit:
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.
Scio tribulationem tuam, et paupertatem tuam, sed dives es: et blasphemaris ab his, qui se dicunt Iudæos esse, et non sunt, sed sunt synagoga Satanæ.
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.
Nihil horum timeas quæ passurus es. Ecce missurus est diabolus aliquos ex vobis in carcerem ut tentemini: et habebitis tribulationem diebus decem. Esto fidelis usque ad mortem, et dabo tibi coronam vitæ.
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.
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis: Qui vicerit, non lædetur a morte secunda.
12 And to the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says He who is having the sharp two-edged sword:
Et Angelo Pergami Ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit, qui habet rhomphæam utraque parte acutam:
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.
Scio ubi habitas, ubi sedes est Satanæ: et tenes nomen meum, et non negasti fidem meam. Et in diebus illis Antipas testis meus fidelis, qui occisus est apud vos, ubi Satanas habitat.
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;
Sed habeo adversus te pauca: quia habes illic tenentes doctrinam Balaam, qui docebat Balac mittere scandalum coram filiis Israel, edere, et fornicari:
15 so have you, even you, those holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans—which thing I hate.
ita habes et tu tenentes doctrinam Nicolaitarum.
16 Convert! And if not, I come to you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
Similiter pœnitentiam age: si quo minus veniam tibi cito, et pugnabo cum illis in gladio oris mei.
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].
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis: Vincenti dabo manna absconditum, et dabo illi calculum candidum: et in calculo nomen novum scriptum, quod nemo scit, nisi qui accipit.
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:
Et Angelo Thyatiræ Ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit Filius Dei, qui habet oculos tamquam flammam ignis, et pedes eius similes aurichalco:
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.
Novi opera tua, et fidem, et charitatem tuam, et ministerium, et patientiam tuam, et opera tua novissima plura prioribus.
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;
Sed habeo adversus te pauca: quia permittis mulierem Iezabel, quæ se dicit propheten, docere, et seducere servos meos, fornicari, et manducare de idolothytis.
21 and I gave to her a time that she might convert from her whoredom, and she did not convert;
Et dedi illi tempus ut pœnitentiam ageret: et non vult pœnitere a fornicatione sua.
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,
Ecce mittam eam in lectum: et qui mœchantur cum ea, in tribulatione maxima erunt, nisi pœnitentiam ab operibus suis egerint.
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.
Et filios eius interficiam in morte, et scient omnes Ecclesiæ, quia ego sum scrutans renes, et corda: et dabo unicuique vestrum secundum opera sua. Vobis autem dico,
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,
et ceteris qui Thyatiræ estis: Quicumque non habent doctrinam hanc, et qui non cognoverunt altitudines Satanæ, quemadmodum dicunt, non mittam super vos aliud pondus:
25 but hold that which you have, until I may come;
tamen id, quod habetis, tenete donec veniam.
26 and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping My works to the end, I will give to him authority over the nations,
Et qui vicerit, et custodierit usque in finem opera mea, dabo illi potestatem super gentes,
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;
et reget eas in virga ferrea, et tamquam vas figuli confringentur,
28 and I will give to him the morning star.
sicut et ego accepi a Patre meo: et dabo illi stellam matutinam.
29 He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis.
