Apocalypsis 2
1 angelo Ephesi ecclesiae scribe haec dicit qui tenet septem stellas in dextera sua qui ambulat in medio septem candelabrorum aureorum
"To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: "He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:
2 scio opera tua et laborem et patientiam tuam et quia non potes sustinere malos et temptasti eos qui se dicunt apostolos et non sunt et invenisti eos mendaces
"I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.
3 et patientiam habes et sustinuisti propter nomen meum et non defecisti
You have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary.
4 sed habeo adversus te quod caritatem tuam primam reliquisti
But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
5 memor esto itaque unde excideris et age paenitentiam et prima opera fac sin autem venio tibi et movebo candelabrum tuum de loco suo nisi paenitentiam egeris
Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.
6 sed hoc habes quia odisti facta Nicolaitarum quae et ego odi
But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 qui habet aurem audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis vincenti dabo ei edere de ligno vitae quod est in paradiso Dei mei
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
8 et angelo Zmyrnae ecclesiae scribe haec dicit primus et novissimus qui fuit mortuus et vivit
"To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: "The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
9 scio tribulationem tuam et paupertatem tuam sed dives es et blasphemaris ab his qui se dicunt Iudaeos esse et non sunt sed sunt synagoga Satanae
"I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
10 nihil horum timeas quae passurus es ecce missurus est diabolus ex vobis in carcerem ut temptemini et habebitis tribulationem diebus decem esto fidelis usque ad mortem et dabo tibi coronam vitae
Do not be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 qui habet aurem audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis qui vicerit non laedetur a morte secunda
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death.
12 et angelo Pergami ecclesiae scribe haec dicit qui habet rompheam utraque parte acutam
"To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
13 scio ubi habitas ubi sedes est Satanae et tenes nomen meum et non negasti fidem meam et in diebus Antipas testis meus fidelis qui occisus est apud vos ubi Satanas habitat
"I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas, my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
14 sed habeo adversus te pauca quia habes illic tenentes doctrinam Balaam qui docebat Balac mittere scandalum coram filiis Israhel edere et fornicari
But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
15 ita habes et tu tenentes doctrinam Nicolaitarum
So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.
16 similiter paenitentiam age si quo minus venio tibi cito et pugnabo cum illis in gladio oris mei
Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 qui habet aurem audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis vincenti dabo ei manna absconditum et dabo illi calculum candidum et in calculo nomen novum scriptum quod nemo scit nisi qui accipit
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.
18 et angelo Thyatirae ecclesiae scribe haec dicit Filius Dei qui habet oculos ut flammam ignis et pedes eius similes orichalco
"To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: "The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished bronze, says these things:
19 novi opera tua et caritatem et fidem et ministerium et patientiam tuam et opera tua novissima plura prioribus
"I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
20 sed habeo adversus te quia permittis mulierem Hiezabel quae se dicit propheten docere et seducere servos meos fornicari et manducare de idolothytis
But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
21 et dedi illi tempus ut paenitentiam ageret et non vult paeniteri a fornicatione sua
I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
22 ecce mitto eam in lectum et qui moechantur cum ea in tribulationem maximam nisi paenitentiam egerint ab operibus eius
Look, I will throw her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
23 et filios eius interficiam in morte et scient omnes ecclesiae quia ego sum scrutans renes et corda et dabo unicuique vestrum secundum opera vestra
I will kill her children with Death, and all the churches will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
24 vobis autem dico ceteris qui Thyatirae estis quicumque non habent doctrinam hanc qui non cognoverunt altitudines Satanae quemadmodum dicunt non mittam super vos aliud pondus
But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who do not know what some call 'the deep things of Satan,' to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
25 tamen id quod habetis tenete donec veniam
Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
26 et qui vicerit et qui custodierit usque in finem opera mea dabo illi potestatem super gentes
He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
27 et reget illas in virga ferrea tamquam vas figuli confringentur
He will rule them with an iron scepter, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:
28 sicut et ego accepi a Patre meo et dabo illi stellam matutinam
and I will give him the morning star.
29 qui habet aurem audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
