Revelation 2
1 "To the minister of the Church in Ephesus write as follows: "'This is what He who holds the seven stars in the grasp of His right hand says--He who walks to and fro among the seven lampstands of gold.
Et Angelo Ephesi Ecclesiae scribe: Haec dicit, qui tenet septem stellas in dextera sua, qui ambulat in medio septem candelabrorum aureorum:
2 I know your doings and your toil and patient suffering. And I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, but have put to the test those who say that they themselves are Apostles but are not, and you have found them to be 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 endure patiently and have borne burdens for My sake and have never grown weary.
et patientiam habes, et sustinuisti propter nomen meum, et non defecisti.
4 Yet I have this against you--that you no longer love Me as you did at first.
Sed habeo adversum te pauca, quod charitatem tuam primam reliquisti.
5 Be mindful, therefore, of the height from which you have fallen. Repent at once, and act as you did at first, or else I will surely come and remove your lampstand out of its place--unless you repent.
Memor esto itaque unde excideris: et age poenitentiam, et prima opera fac. sin autem, veniam tibi cito, et movebo candelabrum tuum de loco suo, nisi poenitentiam egeris.
6 Yet this you have in your favor: you hate the doings of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Sed hoc habes, quia odisti facta Nicolaitarum, quae et ego odi.
7 "'Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. To him who overcomes I will give the privilege of eating the fruit of the Tree of Life, which is in the Paradise of God.'
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis: Vincenti dabo edere de ligno vitae, quod est in Paradiso Dei mei.
8 "To the minister of the Church at Smyrna write as follows: "'This is what the First and the Last says--He who died and has returned to life.
Et Angelo Smyrnae Ecclesiae scribe: Haec dicit primus, et novissimus, qui fuit mortuus, et vivit:
9 Your sufferings I know, and your poverty--but you are rich--and the evil name given you by those who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are Satan's synagogue.
Scio tribulationem tuam, et paupertatem tuam, sed dives es: et blasphemaris ab his, qui se dicunt Iudaeos esse, et non sunt, sed sunt synagogae satanae.
10 Dismiss your fears concerning all that you are about to suffer. I tell you that the Devil is about to throw some of you into prison that you may be put to the test, and for ten days you will have to endure persecution. Be faithful to the End, even if you have to die, and then I will give you the victor's Wreath of Life.
Nihil horum timeas quae 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 vitae.
11 "'Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. He who overcomes shall be in no way hurt by the Second Death.'
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis: Qui vicerit, non laedetur a morte secunda.
12 "To the minister of the Church at Pergamum write as follows: "'This is what He who has the sharp, two-edged sword says. I know where you dwell.
Et Angelo Pergami Ecclesiae scribe: Haec dicit qui habet rhomphaeam ex utraque parte acutam:
13 Satan's throne is there; and yet you are true to Me, and did not deny your faith in Me, even in the days of Antipas My witness and faithful friend, who was put to death among you, in the place where Satan dwells.
Scio ubi habitas, ubi sedes est satanae: 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 Yet I have a few things against you, because you have with you some that cling to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling-block in the way of the descendants of Israel--to eat what had been sacrificed to idols, and commit fornication.
Sed habeo adversus te pauca: quia habes illic tenentes doctrinam Balaam, qui docebat Balac mittere scandalum coram filiis Israel, edere, et fornicari:
15 So even you have some that cling in the same way to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
ita habes et tu tenentes doctrinam Nicolaitarum.
16 Repent, at once; or else I will come to you quickly, and will make war upon them with the sword which is in My mouth.
Similiter poenitentiam age: si quo minus veniam tibi cito, et pugnabo cum illis in gladio oris mei.
17 "'Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. He who overcomes--to him I will give some of the hidden Manna, and a white stone; and--written upon the stone and known only to him who receives it-- a new name.'
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 "To the minister of the Church at Thyateira write as follows: "'This is what the Son of God says--He who has eyes like a flame of fire, and feet resembling silver-bronze.
Et Angelo Thyatirae Ecclesiae scribe: Haec dicit Filius Dei, qui habet oculos tamquam flammam ignis, et pedes eius similes aurichalco:
19 I know your doings, your love, your faith, your service, and your patient endurance; and that of late you have toiled harder than you did at first.
Novi opera tua, et fidem, et charitatem tuam, et ministerium, et patientiam tuam, et opera tua novissima plura prioribus.
20 Yet I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and by her teaching leads astray My servants, so that they commit fornication and eat what has been sacrificed to idols.
Sed habeo adversus te pauca: quia permittis mulierem Iezabel, quae se dicit propheten, docere, et seducere servos meos, fornicari, et manducare de idolothytis.
21 I have given her time to repent, but she is determined not to repent of her fornication.
Et dedi illi tempus ut poenitentiam ageret: et non vult poenitere a fornicatione sua.
22 I tell you that I am about to cast her upon a bed of sickness, and I will severely afflict those who commit adultery with her, unless they repent of conduct such as hers.
Ecce ego mitto eam in lectum: et qui moechantur cum ea, in tribulatione maxima erunt, nisi poenitentiam ab operibus suis egerint.
23 Her children too shall surely die; and all the Churches shall come to know that I am He who searches into men's inmost thoughts; and to each of you I will give a requital which shall be in accordance with what your conduct has been.
et filios eius interficiam in morte, et scient omnes Ecclesiae, quia ego sum scrutans renes, et corda: et dabo unicuique vestrum secundum opera sua. Vobis autem dico,
24 But to you, the rest of you in Thyateira, all who do not hold this teaching and are not the people who have learnt the "deep things," as they call them (the deep things of Satan!) --to you I say that I lay no other burden on you.
et ceteris quia Thyatirae estis: Quicumque non habent doctrinam hanc, et qui non cognoverunt altitudines satanae, quemadmodum dicunt, non mittam super vos aliud pondus:
25 Only that which you already possess, cling to until I come.
tamen id, quod habetis, tenete donec veniam.
26 "'And to him who overcomes and obeys My commands to the very end, I will give authority over the nations of the earth.
Et qui vicerit, et custodierit usque in finem opera mea, dabo illi potestatem super Gentes,
27 And he shall be their shepherd, ruling them with a rod of iron, just as earthenware jars are broken to pieces; and his power over them shall be like that which I Myself have received from My Father;
et reget eas in virga ferrea, et tamquam vas figuli confringentur,
28 and I will give him the Morning Star.
sicut et ego accepi a Patre meo: et dabo illi stellam matutinam.
29 Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'
Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis.
