Revelation 3
1 "To the minister of the Church at Sardis write as follows: "'This is what He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars says. I know your doings--you are supposed to be alive, but in reality you are dead.
aparaṁ sārddisthasamite rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha, yo jana īśvarasya saptātmanaḥ sapta tārāśca dhārayati sa eva bhāṣate, tava kriyā mama gocarāḥ, tvaṁ jīvadākhyo 'si tathāpi mṛto 'si tadapi jānāmi|
2 Rouse yourself and keep awake, and strengthen those things which remain but have well-nigh perished; for I have found no doings of yours free from imperfection in the sight of My God.
prabuddho bhava, avaśiṣṭaṁ yadyat mṛtakalpaṁ tadapi sabalīkuru yata īśvarasya sākṣāt tava karmmāṇi na siddhānīti pramāṇaṁ mayā prāptaṁ|
3 Be mindful, therefore, of the lessons you have received and heard. Continually lay them to heart, and repent. If, however, you fail to rouse yourself and keep awake, I shall come upon you suddenly like a thief, and you will certainly not know the hour at which I shall come to judge you.
ataḥ kīdṛśīṁ śikṣāṁ labdhavān śrutavāścāsi tat smaran tāṁ pālaya svamanaḥ parivarttaya ca| cet prabuddho na bhavestarhyahaṁ stena iva tava samīpam upasthāsyāmi kiñca kasmin daṇḍe upasthāsyāmi tanna jñāsyasi|
4 Yet you have in Sardis a few who have not soiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white; for they are worthy.
tathāpi yaiḥ svavāsāṁsi na kalaṅkitāni tādṛśāḥ katipayalokāḥ sārddinagare 'pi tava vidyante te śubhraparicchadai rmama saṅge gamanāgamane kariṣyanti yataste yogyāḥ|
5 "'In this way he who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments; and I will certainly not blot out his name from the Book of Life, but will acknowledge him in the presence of My Father and His angels.
yo jano jayati sa śubhraparicchadaṁ paridhāpayiṣyante, ahañca jīvanagranthāt tasya nāma nāntardhāpayiṣyāmi kintu matpituḥ sākṣāt tasya dūtānāṁ sākṣācca tasya nāma svīkariṣyāmi|
6 Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'
yasya śrotraṁ vidyate sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānām ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śṛṇotu|
7 "To the minister of the Church at Philadelphia write as follows: "'This is what the holy One and the true says--He who has the key of David--He who opens and no one shall shut, and shuts and no one shall open.
aparañca philādilphiyāsthasamite rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha, yaḥ pavitraḥ satyamayaścāsti dāyūdaḥ kuñjikāṁ dhārayati ca yena mocite 'paraḥ ko'pi na ruṇaddhi ruddhe cāparaḥ ko'pi na mocayati sa eva bhāṣate|
8 I know your doings. I have put an opened door in front of you, which no one can shut; because you have but a little power, and yet you have guarded My word and have not disowned Me.
tava kriyā mama gocarāḥ paśya tava samīpe 'haṁ muktaṁ dvāraṁ sthāpitavān tat kenāpi roddhuṁ na śakyate yatastavālpaṁ balamāste tathāpi tvaṁ mama vākyaṁ pālitavān mama nāmno 'svīkāraṁ na kṛtavāṁśca|
9 I will cause some belonging to Satan's synagogue who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are liars--I will make them come and fall at your feet and know for certain that I have loved you.
paśya yihūdīyā na santo ye mṛṣāvādinaḥ svān yihūdīyān vadanti teṣāṁ śayatānasamājīyānāṁ kāṁścid aham āneṣyāmi paśya te madājñāta āgatya tava caraṇayoḥ praṇaṁsyanti tvañca mama priyo 'sīti jñāsyanti|
10 Because in spite of suffering you have guarded My word, I in turn will guard you from that hour of trial which is soon coming upon the whole world, to put to the test the inhabitants of the earth.
tvaṁ mama sahiṣṇutāsūcakaṁ vākyaṁ rakṣitavānasi tatkāraṇāt pṛthivīnivāsināṁ parīkṣārthaṁ kṛtsnaṁ jagad yenāgāmiparīkṣādinenākramiṣyate tasmād ahamapi tvāṁ rakṣiṣyāmi|
11 I am coming quickly: cling to that which you already possess, so that your wreath of victory be not taken away from you.
paśya mayā śīghram āgantavyaṁ tava yadasti tat dhāraya ko 'pi tava kirīṭaṁ nāpaharatu|
12 "'He who overcomes--I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of My God, and he shall never go out from it again. And I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which is to come down out of Heaven from My God, and My own new name.
yo jano jayati tamahaṁ madīyeśvarasya mandire stambhaṁ kṛtvā sthāpayisyāmi sa puna rna nirgamiṣyati| aparañca tasmin madīyeśvarasya nāma madīyeśvarasya puryyā api nāma arthato yā navīnā yirūśānam purī svargāt madīyeśvarasya samīpād avarokṣyati tasyā nāma mamāpi nūtanaṁ nāma lekhiṣyāmi|
13 Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'

14 "And to the minister of the Church at Laodicea write as follows: "'This is what the Amen says--the true and faithful witness, the Beginning and Lord of God's Creation.
aparañca lāyadikeyāsthasamite rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha, ya āmen arthato viśvāsyaḥ satyamayaśca sākṣī, īśvarasya sṛṣṭerādiścāsti sa eva bhāṣate|
15 I know your doings--you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you were cold or hot!
tava kriyā mama gocarāḥ tvaṁ śīto nāsi tapto 'pi nāsīti jānāmi|
16 Accordingly, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, before long I will vomit you out of My mouth.
tava śītatvaṁ taptatvaṁ vā varaṁ bhavet, śīto na bhūtvā tapto 'pi na bhūtvā tvamevambhūtaḥ kadūṣṇo 'si tatkāraṇād ahaṁ svamukhāt tvām udvamiṣyāmi|
17 You say, I am rich, and have wealth stored up, and I stand in need of nothing; and you do not know that if there is a wretched creature it is you -- pitiable, poor, blind, naked.
ahaṁ dhanī samṛddhaścāsmi mama kasyāpyabhāvo na bhavatīti tvaṁ vadasi kintu tvameva duḥkhārtto durgato daridro 'ndho nagnaścāsi tat tvayā nāvagamyate|
18 Therefore I counsel you to buy of Me gold refined in the fire that you may become rich, and white robes to put on, so as to hide your shameful nakedness, and eye-salve to anoint your eyes with, so that you may be able to see.
tvaṁ yad dhanī bhavestadarthaṁ matto vahnau tāpitaṁ suvarṇaṁ krīṇīhi nagnatvāt tava lajjā yanna prakāśeta tadarthaṁ paridhānāya mattaḥ śubhravāsāṁsi krīṇīhi yacca tava dṛṣṭiḥ prasannā bhavet tadarthaṁ cakṣurlepanāyāñjanaṁ mattaḥ krīṇīhīti mama mantraṇā|
19 All whom I hold dear, I reprove and chastise; therefore be in earnest and repent.
yeṣvahaṁ prīye tān sarvvān bhartsayāmi śāsmi ca, atastvam udyamaṁ vidhāya manaḥ parivarttaya|
20 I am now standing at the door and am knocking. If any one listens to My voice and opens the door, I will go in to be with him and will feast with him, and he shall feast with Me.
paśyāhaṁ dvāri tiṣṭhan tad āhanmi yadi kaścit mama ravaṁ śrutvā dvāraṁ mocayati tarhyahaṁ tasya sannidhiṁ praviśya tena sārddhaṁ bhokṣye so 'pi mayā sārddhaṁ bhokṣyate|
21 "'To him who overcomes I will give the privilege of sitting down with Me on My throne, as I also have overcome and have sat down with My Father on His throne.
aparamahaṁ yathā jitavān mama pitrā ca saha tasya siṁhāsana upaviṣṭaścāsmi, tathā yo jano jayati tamahaṁ mayā sārddhaṁ matsiṁhāsana upaveśayiṣyāmi|
22 Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'"
yasya śrotraṁ vidyate sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānam ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śṛṇotu|
