Revelation 3
1 And to the angel of the church which is at Sardis, write: These things saith he who hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and thou art dead.
I anđelu Crkve u Sardu napiši: “Ovo govori Onaj koji ima sedam duhova Božjih i sedam zvijezda: Znam tvoja djela: imaš ime da živiš, a mrtav si.
2 Awake, and preserve the things that remain, which are ready to die; for I have not found thy works complete before my God.
Budan budi i utvrdi ostatak koji tek što ne umre. Doista, ne nađoh da su ti djela pred Bogom mojim savršena.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard; and observe those precepts, and repent. If then thou wilt not wake up, I will come upon thee as a thief; and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come upon thee.
Spomeni se dakle: kako si primio Riječ i poslušao, tako je i čuvaj - i obrati se. Ne budeš li dakle budan, doći ću kao tat, a nećeš znati u koji ću čas doći na te.
4 Yet thou hast a few names in Sardis, who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
Ali imaš u Sardu nekolicinu imena što ne okaljaše svojih haljina; oni će hoditi sa mnom u bjelini jer su dostojni.”
5 He that is victorious, shall be so clothed in white robes; and I will not blot out their name from the book of life; and I will confess their name before my Father, and before his angels.
“Tako će pobjednik biti odjeven u bijele haljine i neću izbrisati imena njegova iz knjige života i priznat ću ime njegovo pred Ocem svojim i anđelima njegovim.”
6 He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
“Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama!”
7 And to the angel of the church which is at Philadelphia, write: These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, who openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth and no man openeth;
I anđelu Crkve u Filadelfiji napiši: “Ovo govori Sveti, Istiniti, Onaj koji ima ključ Davidov i kad otvori, nitko neće zatvoriti; kad zatvori, nitko neće otvoriti:
8 I know thy works. And lo, I have set before thee an open door, which no man can shut: because thou hast a little strength; and thou hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Znam tvoja djela. Evo, otvorio sam pred tobom vrata kojih nitko zatvoriti ne može. Doista, malena je tvoja snaga, a očuvao si moju riječ i nisi zatajio mog imena.
9 Behold, I will give them of the congregation of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but lie, behold I will make them to come and do obeisance before thy feet; and to know that I have loved thee.
Evo, dovest ću neke iz sinagoge Sotonine - koji sebe zovu Židovi, a nisu, nego lažu - evo, prisilit ću ih da dođu da ti se do nogu poklone te upoznaju da te ja ljubim.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, that is to come on all the inhabited world, to try them who dwell on the earth.
Budući da si očuvao moju riječ o postojanosti, i ja ću očuvati tebe od časa kušnje koji ima doći na sav svijet da se iskušaju svi pozemljari.
11 I come quickly: hold fast what thou hast, so that no one take thy crown.
Dolazim ubrzo. Čvrsto drži što imaš da ti nitko ne ugrabi vijenca.”
12 Him that is victorious, will I make a pillar in the temple of my God; and he shall not again go out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and of the new Jerusalem which descendeth from heaven from my God, and my own new name.
“Pobjednika ću postaviti stupom u hramu Boga moga i odande on više neće izići i napisat ću na njemu ime Boga svoga i ime grada Boga svoga, novog Jeruzalema koji siđe s neba od Boga mojega, i ime moje novo.”
13 He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
“Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama!”
14 And to the angel of the church which is at Laodicea, write: These things saith the Amen, the witness, the faithful, the true, the Chief of the creation of God:
I anđelu Crkve u Laodiceji napiši: “Ovo govori Amen, Svjedok vjerni i istiniti, Početak Božjeg stvorenja:
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither hot, nor cold; I would that thou wert cold or hot.
Znam tvoja djela: nisi ni studen ni vruć. O da si studen ili vruć!
16 So, because thou art lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to vomit thee from my mouth.
Ali jer si mlak, ni vruć ni studen, povratit ću te iz usta.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich and affluent, and have no want of any thing; and thou knowest not, that thou art impotent, and miserable, and needy, and blind, and naked;
Govoriš: 'Bogat sam, obogatih se, ništa mi ne treba!' A ne znaš da si nevolja i bijeda, i ubog, i slijep, i gol.
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white raiment, to be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be seen; and put eye-salve on thine eyes, that thou mayest see.
Savjetujem ti: kupi od mene zlata u vatri žežena da se obogatiš i bijele haljine da se odjeneš da se ne vidi tvoja sramotna golotinja; i pomasti da oči pomažeš i vidiš.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be emulous therefore, and repent.
Ja korim i odgajam one koje ljubim. Revan budi i obrati se!
20 Behold, I have been standing at the door, and I will knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Evo, na vratima stojim i kucam; posluša li tko glas moj i otvori mi vrata, unići ću k njemu i večerati s njim i on sa mnom.”
21 And to him that is victorious, to him will I give to sit with me on my throne, even as I was victorious, and sat down with my Father on his throne.
“Pobjednika ću posjesti sa sobom na prijestolje svoje, kao što i ja, pobijedivši, sjedoh s Ocem svojim na prijestolje njegovo.”
22 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
“Tko ima uho, nek posluša što Duh govori crkvama!”
