< Revelation 3 >
1 “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘These are the words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know yoʋr works; yoʋ have made a name for yoʋrself and yoʋ are alive, but actually yoʋ are dead.
aparaṁ sārddisthasamitē rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha, yō jana īśvarasya saptātmanaḥ sapta tārāśca dhārayati sa ēva bhāṣatē, tava kriyā mama gōcarāḥ, tvaṁ jīvadākhyō 'si tathāpi mr̥tō 'si tadapi jānāmi|
2 Be watchful and strengthen what remains, which yoʋ were about to throw away, for I have not found yoʋr works to be complete in the sight of my God.
prabuddhō bhava, avaśiṣṭaṁ yadyat mr̥takalpaṁ tadapi sabalīkuru yata īśvarasya sākṣāt tava karmmāṇi na siddhānīti pramāṇaṁ mayā prāptaṁ|
3 So remember what yoʋ have received, and repent. If yoʋ do not wake up, I will come upon yoʋ like a thief, and yoʋ will certainly not know at what hour I will come upon yoʋ.
ataḥ kīdr̥śīṁ śikṣāṁ labdhavān śrutavāścāsi tat smaran tāṁ pālaya svamanaḥ parivarttaya ca| cēt prabuddhō na bhavēstarhyahaṁ stēna iva tava samīpam upasthāsyāmi kiñca kasmin daṇḍē upasthāsyāmi tanna jñāsyasi|
4 But yoʋ have a few individuals in Sardis who have not defiled their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
tathāpi yaiḥ svavāsāṁsi na kalaṅkitāni tādr̥śāḥ katipayalōkāḥ sārddinagarē 'pi tava vidyantē tē śubhraparicchadai rmama saṅgē gamanāgamanē kariṣyanti yatastē yōgyāḥ|
5 He who overcomes will be clothed in white garments. I will certainly not blot out his name from the book of life, but will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
yō janō jayati sa śubhraparicchadaṁ paridhāpayiṣyantē, ahañca jīvanagranthāt tasya nāma nāntardhāpayiṣyāmi kintu matpituḥ sākṣāt tasya dūtānāṁ sākṣācca tasya nāma svīkariṣyāmi|
6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’
yasya śrōtraṁ vidyatē sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānām ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śr̥ṇōtu|
7 “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘These are the words of him who is holy and true, who has the key of David and opens doors that no one else can open or shut:
aparañca philādilphiyāsthasamitē rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha, yaḥ pavitraḥ satyamayaścāsti dāyūdaḥ kuñjikāṁ dhārayati ca yēna mōcitē 'paraḥ kō'pi na ruṇaddhi ruddhē cāparaḥ kō'pi na mōcayati sa ēva bhāṣatē|
8 I know yoʋr works. Behold, I have set before yoʋ an open door that no one can shut. I know that yoʋ have little strength, but yoʋ have kept my word and have not denied my name.
tava kriyā mama gōcarāḥ paśya tava samīpē 'haṁ muktaṁ dvāraṁ sthāpitavān tat kēnāpi rōddhuṁ na śakyatē yatastavālpaṁ balamāstē tathāpi tvaṁ mama vākyaṁ pālitavān mama nāmnō 'svīkāraṁ na kr̥tavāṁśca|
9 Those of the synagogue of Satan are liars. They declare themselves to be Jews but are not. Behold, I will make them come and bow down at yoʋr feet, and they will know that I love yoʋ.
paśya yihūdīyā na santō yē mr̥ṣāvādinaḥ svān yihūdīyān vadanti tēṣāṁ śayatānasamājīyānāṁ kāṁścid aham ānēṣyāmi paśya tē madājñāta āgatya tava caraṇayōḥ praṇaṁsyanti tvañca mama priyō 'sīti jñāsyanti|
10 Because yoʋ have kept my command to persevere, I will keep yoʋ from the hour of trial that is about to come upon the whole world to test those who dwell on the earth.
tvaṁ mama sahiṣṇutāsūcakaṁ vākyaṁ rakṣitavānasi tatkāraṇāt pr̥thivīnivāsināṁ parīkṣārthaṁ kr̥tsnaṁ jagad yēnāgāmiparīkṣādinēnākramiṣyatē tasmād ahamapi tvāṁ rakṣiṣyāmi|
11 I am coming quickly. Hold fast to what yoʋ have so that no one will take yoʋr crown.
paśya mayā śīghram āgantavyaṁ tava yadasti tat dhāraya kō 'pi tava kirīṭaṁ nāpaharatu|
12 The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will no longer go out at all. I will write on him the name of my God, the name of the city of my God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from my God), and the new name he is to receive.
yō janō jayati tamahaṁ madīyēśvarasya mandirē stambhaṁ kr̥tvā sthāpayisyāmi sa puna rna nirgamiṣyati| aparañca tasmin madīyēśvarasya nāma madīyēśvarasya puryyā api nāma arthatō yā navīnā yirūśānam purī svargāt madīyēśvarasya samīpād avarōkṣyati tasyā nāma mamāpi nūtanaṁ nāma lēkhiṣyāmi|
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’

14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the origin of God's creation:
aparañca lāyadikēyāsthasamitē rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha, ya āmēn arthatō viśvāsyaḥ satyamayaśca sākṣī, īśvarasya sr̥ṣṭērādiścāsti sa ēva bhāṣatē|
15 I know yoʋr works; yoʋ are neither cold nor hot. If only yoʋ were cold or hot!
tava kriyā mama gōcarāḥ tvaṁ śītō nāsi taptō 'pi nāsīti jānāmi|
16 So, because yoʋ are lukewarm, and not hot or cold, I am about to spit yoʋ out of my mouth.
tava śītatvaṁ taptatvaṁ vā varaṁ bhavēt, śītō na bhūtvā taptō 'pi na bhūtvā tvamēvambhūtaḥ kadūṣṇō 'si tatkāraṇād ahaṁ svamukhāt tvām udvamiṣyāmi|
17 For yoʋ say, “I am rich; I have become wealthy and need nothing,” but yoʋ do not realize that yoʋ are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.
ahaṁ dhanī samr̥ddhaścāsmi mama kasyāpyabhāvō na bhavatīti tvaṁ vadasi kintu tvamēva duḥkhārttō durgatō daridrō 'ndhō nagnaścāsi tat tvayā nāvagamyatē|
18 I counsel yoʋ to buy from me gold refined by fire so that yoʋ may be rich, and white garments so that yoʋ may clothe yoʋrself and the shame of yoʋr nakedness may not be revealed, and eye salve to anoint yoʋr eyes so that yoʋ may see.
tvaṁ yad dhanī bhavēstadarthaṁ mattō vahnau tāpitaṁ suvarṇaṁ krīṇīhi nagnatvāt tava lajjā yanna prakāśēta tadarthaṁ paridhānāya mattaḥ śubhravāsāṁsi krīṇīhi yacca tava dr̥ṣṭiḥ prasannā bhavēt tadarthaṁ cakṣurlēpanāyāñjanaṁ mattaḥ krīṇīhīti mama mantraṇā|
19 Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline. Therefore be zealous and repent.
yēṣvahaṁ prīyē tān sarvvān bhartsayāmi śāsmi ca, atastvam udyamaṁ vidhāya manaḥ parivarttaya|
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me.
paśyāhaṁ dvāri tiṣṭhan tad āhanmi yadi kaścit mama ravaṁ śrutvā dvāraṁ mōcayati tarhyahaṁ tasya sannidhiṁ praviśya tēna sārddhaṁ bhōkṣyē sō 'pi mayā sārddhaṁ bhōkṣyatē|
21 To him who overcomes I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
aparamahaṁ yathā jitavān mama pitrā ca saha tasya siṁhāsana upaviṣṭaścāsmi, tathā yō janō jayati tamahaṁ mayā sārddhaṁ matsiṁhāsana upavēśayiṣyāmi|
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’”
