Revelation 2
1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, and walks among the seven golden lamps:
»Angelu cerkve v Efezu piši: ›Te stvari govori on, ki v svoji desnici drži sedem zvezd, ki hodi v sredi sedmih zlatih svečnikov;
2 I know your life, your toil and endurance, and I know that you cannot tolerate evildoers. I know, too, how you tested those who declare that they are apostles, though they are not, and how you proved them false.
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.
3 You possess endurance, and have borne much for my name, and have never grown weary.
In prenašal si in imaš potrpežljivost in si se trudil zaradi mojega imena in nisi izgubil poguma.
4 But this I have against you – You have abandoned your first love.
Vendar imam nekaj proti tebi, kajti zapustil si svojo prvo ljubezen.
5 Therefore remember from what you have fallen, and repent, and live the life that you lived before; or else, I will come and remove your Lamp from its place, unless you repent.
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.
6 But this is in your favor – You hate the life lived by the Nikolaitans, and I also hate it.
Toda to imaš, da sovražiš dejanja nikolajevcev, ki jih tudi sam sovražim.‹
7 Anyone with ears should hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To him who conquers – to him I will give the right to eat the fruit of the Tree of life, which stands in the Paradise of God.
Kdor ima uho, naj sliši, kaj Duh govori cerkvam: ›Tistemu, ki premaga, bom dal jesti od drevesa življenja, ki je na sredini Božjega raja.‹«
8 “To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died, but is restored to life:
»In angelu cerkve v Smirni piši: ›Te stvari govori prvi in zadnji, ki je bil mrtev in je živ;
9 I know your persecution and your poverty – yet you are rich! I know, too, the slander that comes from those who declare that they are God’s people, though they are not, but are a congregation of Satan.
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.
10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. The devil is about to throw some of you into prison so that you may be tempted, and may undergo persecution for ten days. Be faithful even to death, and I will give you the Crown of life.
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.‹
11 Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. Those who conquer will suffer no hurt from the Second Death.
Kdor ima uho, naj sliši, kaj Duh govori cerkvam: ›Kdor premaga, ne bo poškodovan od druge smrti.‹«
12 “To the angel of the church in Pergamus write: These are the words of him who holds the sharp two-edged sword:
»In angelu cerkve v Pêrgamonu piši: ›Te besede govori on, ki ima oster meč z dvema ostrinama;
13 I know where you live, where the throne of Satan stands. And yet you hold to my name, and you did not disown my faith even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death among you where Satan dwells.
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.
14 Yet I have a few things against you – You have among you those who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put temptations in the way of the Israelites, so that they should eat idol-offerings and commit licentious acts.
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.
15 Again you have among you those who hold in the same way to the teaching of the Nikolaitans.
Tako imaš tudi tiste, ki se držijo nauka nikolajevcev, katerih besedo sovražim.
16 Therefore repent, or else, I will come quickly and contend with such people with words that will cut like a sword.
Pokesaj se, sicer bom hitro prišel k tebi in proti njim se bom boril z mečem svojih ust.‹
17 Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To those who conquer – to them I will give a share of the mystic manna, and I will give them a white stone; and on the stone will be inscribed a new name, which no one knows except the person who receives it.
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.‹«
18 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like flaming fire, and whose feet are like brass:
»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;
19 I know your life, your love, faith, service, and endurance; and I know that your life of late has been better than it was at first.
poznam tvoja dela in ljubezen in služenje in vero in tvojo potrpežljivost in tvoja dela; in zadnjih je več kakor prvih.
20 Yet I have this against you – You tolerate the woman Jezebel, who declares that she is a prophet, and misleads my servants by her teaching, until they commit licentious acts and eat idol-offerings.
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.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she is determined not to turn from her licentiousness.
In dal sem ji čas, da se pokesa od svojega prešuštvovanja, pa se ni pokesala.
22 Therefore I am laying her on a bed of sickness, and bringing great suffering on those who are unfaithful with her, unless they repent and turn from a life like hers.
Glej, vrgel jo bom na posteljo in te, ki z njo grešijo zakonolomstvo, v veliko stisko, razen če se ne pokesajo od svojih dejanj.
23 I will also put her children to death; and all the churches will learn that I am he who looks into people’s hearts and souls; and I will give to each one of you what their life deserves.
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.
24 But I say to the rest of you at Thyatira – all who do not accept such teaching, whose who did not learn the secrets of Satan, as people call them – I am not laying on you any further burden;
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.
25 only hold fast to what you have received, until I come.
Temveč da trdno držite to, kar že imate, dokler ne pridem.
26 To those who conquer and are careful to live my life to the end – to them I will give authority over the nations,
In kdor zmaga in moja dela ohrani do konca, njemu bom dal oblast nad narodi.
27 and they will rule them with an iron rod, as when earthen vessels are broken in pieces (as I myself have received from my Father)
In vladal jim bo z železno palico; kakor lončena posoda bodo razbiti do črepinj; celo kot sem jaz prejel od svojega Očeta.
28 and I will give them the morning star.
In dal mu bom jutranjo zvezdo.
29 Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
Kdor ima uho, naj sliši, kaj Duh govori cerkvam.‹«
