Revelation 3
1 “And to the messenger of the assembly in Sardis write: These things says He who is having the Seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I have known your works, and that you have the name that you live, and you are dead;
Og skriv til Menighedens Engel i Sardes: Dette siger han, som har de syv Guds Aander og de syv Stjerner: Jeg kender dine Gerninger, at da har Ord for at leve og er dog død.
2 be watching, and strengthen the rest of the things that are about to die, for I have not found your works fulfilled before God.
Bliv vaagen og styrk det øvrige, som ellers vilde dø; thi jeg har ikke fundet dine Gerninger fuldkommede for min Gud.
3 Remember, then, what you have received and heard, and keep [it] and convert: if, then, you may not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you may not know what hour I will come on you.
Kom derfor i Hu, hvorledes du modtog og hørte, og bevar det og omvend dig! Dersom du altsaa ikke vaager, skal jeg komme som en Tyv, og du skal ikke vide, i hvilken Time jeg kommer over dig.
4 You have a few names even in Sardis who did not defile their garments, and they will walk with Me in white, because they are worthy.
Dog har du i Sardes nogle faa Personer, som ikke have besmittet deres Klæder; de skulle vandre med mig i hvide Klæder, thi de ere værdige dertil.
5 The [one] thus overcoming will be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Scroll of Life, and I will confess his name before My Father, and before His messengers.
Den, som sejrer, han skal saaledes iføres hvide Klæder, og jeg vil ikke udslette hans Navn af Livets Bog, og jeg vil bekende hans Navn for min Fader og for hans Engle.
6 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!
7 And to the messenger of the assembly in Philadelphia write: These things says the Holy [One], the True [One], having the key of David, the [One] opening and no one will shut, and shutting and no one opens:
Og skriv til Menighedens Engel i Filadelfia: Dette siger den hellige, den sanddru, han, som har Davids Nøgle, han, som lukker op, saa ingen lukker i, og lukker i, saa ingen lukker op:
8 I have known your works; behold, I have set before you a door having been opened, which no one is able to shut it, because you have little power, and yet have kept My word, and have not denied My Name;
Jeg kender dine Gerninger. Se, jeg har givet dig, at der foran dig er en aabnet Dør, som ingen kan lukke; thi du har kun liden Kraft, og dog har du bevaret mit Ord og ikke fornægtet mit Navn.
9 behold, I give from the synagogue of Satan—those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them that they may come and prostrate before your feet, and may know that I loved you.
Se, jeg lader komme nogle af Satans Synagoge, som kalde sig selv Jøder og ikke ere det, men lyve. Se, jeg vil gøre, at de skulle komme og tilbede for dine Fødder og kende, at jeg har fattet Kærlighed til dig.
10 Because you kept the word of My endurance, I also will keep you from the hour of the trial that is about to come on all the world, to try those dwelling on the earth.
Efterdi du har bevaret mit Ord om Udholdenheden, vil ogsaa jeg bevare dig ud af Fristelsens Stund, som skal komme over hele Jorderige for at friste dem, som bo paa Jorden.
11 Behold, I come quickly, be holding fast that which you have, that no one may receive your garland.
Jeg kommer snart! Hold fast ved det, du har, for at ingen skal tage din Krone.
12 He who is overcoming—I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he may not go outside anymore, and I will write on him the Name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, that comes down out of Heaven from My God—also My new Name.
Den, som sejrer, ham vil jeg gøre til en Søjle i min Guds Tempel, og han skal ikke mere gaa ud derfra; og jeg vil skrive paa ham min Guds Navn og min Guds Stads Navn, det nye Jerusalem, der kommer ned fra Himmelen fra min Gud, og mit nye Navn.
13 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!
14 And to the messenger of the assembly of the Laodiceans write: These things says the Amen, the Witness—the Faithful and True—the Chief of the creation of God:
Og skriv til Menighedens Engel i Laodikea: Dette siger han, som er Amen, det troværdige og sanddru Vidne, Guds Skabnings Begyndelse:
15 I have known your works, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish you were cold or hot.
Jeg kender dine Gerninger, at du hverken er kold eller varm; gid du var kold eller varm!
16 So—because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit you out of My mouth;
Derfor, efterdi du er lunken og hverken varm eller kold, vil jeg udspy dig af min Mund;
17 because you say—I am rich, and have grown rich, and have need of nothing, and have not known that you are the wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked;
fordi du siger: Jeg er rig og har vundet Rigdom og fattes intet; og du ved ikke, at du er den elendige og jammerlige og fattige og blinde og nøgne.
18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold fired by fire, that you may be rich, and white garments that you may be clothed, and the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed, and with eye-salve anoint your eyes, that you may see.
Jeg raader dig, at du af mig køber Guld, lutret i Ilden, for at du kan blive rig, og hvide Klæder, for at du kan klæde dig dermed, og din Nøgenheds Skam ikke skal blottes, og Øjensalve til at salve dine Øjne med, for at du kan se.
19 As many as I cherish, I convict and discipline; be zealous, then, and convert;
Alle dem, jeg elsker, dem revser og tugter jeg; vær derfor nidkær og omvend dig!
20 behold, I have stood at the door, and I knock; if anyone may hear My voice, and may open the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me.
Se, jeg staar for Døren og banker; dersom nogen hører min Røst og aabner Døren, vil jeg gaa ind til ham og holde Nadvere med ham, og han med mig.
21 He who is overcoming—I will give to him to sit with Me in My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father in His throne.
Den, som sejrer, ham vil jeg give at tage Sæde hos mig paa min Trone, ligesom jeg har sejret og har taget Sæde hos min Fader paa hans Trone.
22 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!
