Razodetje 2
1 »Angelu cerkve v Efezu piši: ›Te stvari govori on, ki v svoji desnici drži sedem zvezd, ki hodi v sredi sedmih zlatih svečnikov;
“To the messenger of the church in Ephesus write: “These things says He who holds the seven stars on His right hand, who walks about in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:
2 poznam tvoja dela in tvoj trud in tvojo potrpežljivost in kako ne moreš prenašati teh, ki so hudobni in preizkusil si tiste, ki pravijo, da so apostoli, pa to niso in si jih našel lažnivce.
‘I know your works, yes the labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot stand those who are evil. And you have tested those who claim to be apostles and are not, and found them to be liars;
3 In prenašal si in imaš potrpežljivost in si se trudil zaradi mojega imena in nisi izgubil poguma.
and you have born up and endured on account of my name, and not grown weary.
4 Vendar imam nekaj proti tebi, kajti zapustil si svojo prvo ljubezen.
“‘Nevertheless I have against you that you have left your first love.
5 Spomni se torej, od kod si padel in se pokesaj in opravljaj prva dela, sicer bom hitro prišel k tebi in bom odstranil tvoj svečnik z njegovega mesta, razen če se ne pokesaš.
So think about from where you have drifted and repent, and do the first works, or else I will come at you swiftly and remove your lampstand out of its place—unless you do repent.
6 Toda to imaš, da sovražiš dejanja nikolajevcev, ki jih tudi sam sovražim.‹
But you do have this, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.’
7 Kdor ima uho, naj sliši, kaj Duh govori cerkvam: ›Tistemu, ki premaga, bom dal jesti od drevesa življenja, ki je na sredini Božjega raja.‹«
“He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who overcomes I will grant to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of my God.
8 »In angelu cerkve v Smirni piši: ›Te stvari govori prvi in zadnji, ki je bil mrtev in je živ;
“And to the messenger of the church in Smyrna write: “These things says the First and the Last, who became dead and came to life:
9 poznam tvoja dela in stisko in revščino (toda bogat si) in poznam bogokletje teh, ki pravijo, da so Judje, pa niso, temveč so Satanova sinagoga.
‘I know your works and affliction and poverty (but you are rich), and the slander of those who claim to be Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
10 Ne boj se nobene od teh stvari, ki jih boš pretrpel. Glej, hudič bo nekatere izmed vas vrgel v ječo, da boste lahko preizkušeni in deset dni boste imeli stisko. Bodi zvest do smrti in dal ti bom krono življenja.‹
Do not fear any of the things that you are about to suffer: Take note, the devil is really about to throw some of you into prison, so that you may be tested, and you will have an affliction of ten days. Stay faithful until death and I will give you the crown of life.’
11 Kdor ima uho, naj sliši, kaj Duh govori cerkvam: ›Kdor premaga, ne bo poškodovan od druge smrti.‹«
“He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. The one who overcomes will absolutely not be harmed by the second death.
12 »In angelu cerkve v Pêrgamonu piši: ›Te besede govori on, ki ima oster meč z dvema ostrinama;
“And to the messenger of the church in Pergamos write: “These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword:
13 poznam tvoja dela in kje prebivaš, celó kjer je Satanov prestol. In trdno držiš moje ime in moje vere nisi zanikal celó v tistih dneh, v katerih je bil Antípa, moj zvesti mučenec, ki je bil umorjen med vami, kjer prebiva Satan.
‘I know your works, and where you live, where Satan's throne is. And you hold my name fast and did not deny my faith during the days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan lives.
14 Toda zoper tebe imam nekaj stvari, ker imaš tam tiste, ki se drže Bileámovega nauka, ki je učil Baláka metati kamen spotike pred Izraelove otroke, da jedo stvari žrtvovane malikom in da zagrešijo prešuštvo.
“‘Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you have there adepts of the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things offered to idols and to fornicate.
15 Tako imaš tudi tiste, ki se držijo nauka nikolajevcev, katerih besedo sovražim.
Thus you also have adepts of the doctrine of the Nicolaitans as well.
16 Pokesaj se, sicer bom hitro prišel k tebi in proti njim se bom boril z mečem svojih ust.‹
Repent! Or else I will come at you swiftly and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.’
17 Kdor ima uho, naj sliši, kaj Duh govori cerkvam: ›Tistemu, ki premaga, bom dal jesti od skrite mane in dal mu bom bel kamen in na kamnu napisano novo ime, ki ga ne pozna noben človek, razen, kdor ga prejme.‹«
“He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who overcomes I will grant to eat from the hidden manna. And I will give him a white pebble, and on the pebble a new name written, which no one knows except the receiver.
18 »In angelu cerkve v Tiatiri piši: ›Te stvari govori Božji Sin, ki ima svoje oči podobne plamenu ognja in so njegova stopala kakor čist bron;
“And to the messenger of the church in Thyatira write: “These things says the Son of God, He who has the eyes like a flame of fire and the feet like fine brass:
19 poznam tvoja dela in ljubezen in služenje in vero in tvojo potrpežljivost in tvoja dela; in zadnjih je več kakor prvih.
‘I know your works—the love, the faith, the service—and your endurance; in fact your last works are greater than the first.
20 Vendar imam zoper tebe nekaj stvari, ker trpiš to žensko Jezabelo, ki sebe imenuje prerokinjo, da uči in da zapeljuje moje služabnike, da zagrešijo prešuštvo in da jedo stvari, žrtvovane malikom.
“‘Nevertheless I have against you that you tolerate your wife Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and deceives my slaves to fornicate and to eat things offered to idols.
21 In dal sem ji čas, da se pokesa od svojega prešuštvovanja, pa se ni pokesala.
I even gave her time so that she might repent, but she does not want to repent of her fornication.
22 Glej, vrgel jo bom na posteljo in te, ki z njo grešijo zakonolomstvo, v veliko stisko, razen če se ne pokesajo od svojih dejanj.
So, I am throwing her into a sickbed and those adulterating with her into great affliction, unless they repent of her works.
23 In njene otroke bom pobil s smrtjo in vse cerkve bodo vedele, da sem jaz tisti, ki preiskujem notranjosti in srca; in vsakemu od vas bom dal glede na vaša dejanja.
And I will execute her children; and all the churches will know that I am the One who searches minds and hearts, and I will give to each one of you according to your works.
24 Toda tebi in ostalim iz Tiatire pravim, kdor nima tega nauka in tem, ki niso spoznali Satanovih globin, kakor govorijo; na vas ne bom nadel nobenega drugega bremena.
“‘Now to the rest of you who are in Thyatira I say—to as many as do not hold this teaching, those who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say—I will not put any other burden on you;
25 Temveč da trdno držite to, kar že imate, dokler ne pridem.
just hold fast what you have until I come.
26 In kdor zmaga in moja dela ohrani do konca, njemu bom dal oblast nad narodi.
And as for the one who overcomes and keeps my works until the end, I will give him authority over the nations;
27 In vladal jim bo z železno palico; kakor lončena posoda bodo razbiti do črepinj; celo kot sem jaz prejel od svojega Očeta.
and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron; they will be smashed like clay pots
28 In dal mu bom jutranjo zvezdo.
—just as I have received from my Father. And I will give him the morning star.’
29 Kdor ima uho, naj sliši, kaj Duh govori cerkvam.‹«
“He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
