< Revelation 2 >

1 “Write this to the angel of the Ephesus church: This is what the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand says, the one who walks among the seven golden candlesticks:
ⲁ̅ⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲛⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲥⲁϣϥ ⲛⲥⲓⲟⲩ ϩⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛⲧⲙⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲥⲁϣϥⲉ ⲛⲗⲩⲭⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ
2 I know what you've accomplished, your hard work and perseverance. I know you can't tolerate evil people, and how you investigated those who claimed to be apostles but are not, and discovered they were frauds.
ⲃ̅ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲕϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲛⲡⲉⲕϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲉⲕϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛϣϭⲟⲙ ⲉϥⲓ ϩⲁⲛⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲕⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛϩⲉⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲕϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲛⲉ
3 I know about your patience, and what you endured for my sake—and that you didn't give up!
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲕ ⲙⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲕϥⲓ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲕϩⲓⲥⲉ
4 But I have something against you: you have neglected your first love.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲓϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ϫⲉ ⲁⲕⲕⲱ ⲛⲥⲱⲕ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ
5 So remember how far you've fallen—repent and go back to what you were doing at first. Otherwise I'll come to you and I will remove your candlestick from where it is—unless you repent.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲕϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲛⲅⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓ ⲛⲅⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲕϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ϯⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲧⲁⲕⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲕⲗⲩⲭⲛⲓⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡⲉⲥⲙⲁ ⲕ̅ⲧⲙⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓ
6 However, you do have this to your credit: you hate the actions of the Nicolaitans, just as I do.

7 If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches. I will give to those who are victorious the privilege of eating from the tree of life, which stands in the Paradise of God.

8 Write this to the angel of the Smyrna church: This is what the first and last says, the one who was dead and came back to life:
ⲏ̅ⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲛⲥⲙⲩⲣⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲧϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϩⲁⲏ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲱⲛϩ
9 I know the troubles you are going through, and how poor you are (but you are rich), and the abuse from those who say they are Jews but are not, but belong to Satan's synagogue.
ⲑ̅ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲙⲛⲧⲉⲕⲙⲛⲧϩⲏⲕⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲕⲟⲩⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛϩⲉⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲧⲉ
10 Don't be afraid about what you are going to suffer. Yes, the devil will throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Just remain faithful, even if it means death, and I will give you the crown of life!

11 If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches. The second death will not harm those who are victorious.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϫⲓⲧϥ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲁⲩ
12 Write this to the angel of the Pergamum church: This is what the one holding the sharp two-edged sword says:
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲙⲡⲉⲣⲅⲁⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲧϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲉⲧⲧⲏⲙ ⲉⲡϩⲟ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ
13 I know you're living where Satan has his throne, and that you have stayed true to me. You have not denied your trust in me, even when my faithful witness Antipas was killed right among you there where Satan lives!
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲕⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲓⲥϯⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲕⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ ϩⲛⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲡⲁⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϩⲁϩⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
14 But I have a few things against you: There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak how to entrap the children of Israel by means of eating food sacrificed to idols and committing sexual sins.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲓϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲕϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲃⲁⲗⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉⲃⲁⲗⲁⲕ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲓ̅ⲥ̅ⲣ̅ⲏ̅ⲗ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲟⲩⲉⲙϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲡⲟⲣⲛⲉⲩⲉ
15 Similarly you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.

16 So repent, or soon I will come to you and fight against them using the sword of my mouth.

17 If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches. I will give the hidden manna to those who are victorious. I will give them a white stone with a new name written on it that nobody knows except those who receive it.

18 Write this to the angel of the Thyatira church: This is what the Son of God says, the one who has eyes like flaming fire and feet like polished brass.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲛⲑⲓ̈ⲁⲧⲉⲓⲣⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ ⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲁϩ ⲛⲕⲱϩⲧ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲣⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲃⲁⲣⲱⲧ
19 I know what you have accomplished, your love and faithfulness and service and perseverance, and that you are doing more now than when you first believed.

20 But I have something against you: you are allowing the woman called Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess to teach my followers, leading them astray into sexual sins, and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ϫⲉ ⲁⲕⲕⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲉⲍⲁⲃⲉⲗ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅⲟⲩⲡⲣⲟⲫⲩⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲥⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲡⲟⲣⲛⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲟⲩⲉⲙϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ
21 I gave her time to repent of her sexual sins, but she's not willing to repent.

22 So I'm throwing her into a bed together with her adulterous partners and they will suffer terribly unless they repent of what they have done with her.

23 I will put her children to death. Then all the churches will know that I am the one who examines thoughts and motives. I will repay each of you according to what you've done.

24 For the rest of you there in Thyatira who don't follow this teaching, who have not learned Satan's ‘deep depravities’ as they are called, I don't place on you any other burden. I say to you,

27 He will rule the nations with an iron rod, breaking them into pieces like clay pots. In the same way that I received authority from my Father,
