Revelation 2
1 “To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: “He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lamp stands says these things:
「你要寫信給以弗所教會的使者，說：『那右手拿着七星、在七個金燈臺中間行走的，說：
2 “I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.
我知道你的行為、勞碌、忍耐，也知道你不能容忍惡人。你也曾試驗那自稱為使徒卻不是使徒的，看出他們是假的來。
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
你也能忍耐，曾為我的名勞苦，並不乏倦。
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
然而有一件事我要責備你，就是你把起初的愛心離棄了。
5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.
所以，應當回想你是從哪裏墜落的，並要悔改，行起初所行的事。你若不悔改，我就臨到你那裏，把你的燈臺從原處挪去。
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
然而你還有一件可取的事，就是你恨惡尼哥拉一黨人的行為，這也是我所恨惡的。
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.
聖靈向眾教會所說的話，凡有耳的，就應當聽！得勝的，我必將上帝樂園中生命樹的果子賜給他吃。』」
8 “To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
「你要寫信給士每拿教會的使者，說：『那首先的、末後的、死過又活的，說：
9 “I know your works, oppression, 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.
我知道你的患難，你的貧窮（你卻是富足的），也知道那自稱是猶太人所說的毀謗話，其實他們不是猶太人，乃是撒但一會的人。
10 Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, 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 to death, and I will give you the crown of life.
你將要受的苦你不用怕。魔鬼要把你們中間幾個人下在監裏，叫你們被試煉，你們必受患難十日。你務要至死忠心，我就賜給你那生命的冠冕。
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won’t be harmed by the second death.
聖靈向眾教會所說的話，凡有耳的，就應當聽！得勝的，必不受第二次死的害。』」
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
「你要寫信給別迦摩教會的使者，說：『那有兩刃利劍的，說：
13 “I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn’t deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
我知道你的居所，就是有撒但座位之處；當我忠心的見證人安提帕在你們中間、撒但所住的地方被殺之時，你還堅守我的名，沒有棄絕我的道。
14 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.
然而，有幾件事我要責備你：因為在你那裏有人服從了巴蘭的教訓；這巴蘭曾教導巴勒將絆腳石放在以色列人面前，叫他們吃祭偶像之物，行姦淫的事。
15 So also you likewise have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
你那裏也有人照樣服從了尼哥拉一黨人的教訓。
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
所以，你當悔改；若不悔改，我就快臨到你那裏，用我口中的劍攻擊他們。
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. 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.
聖靈向眾教會所說的話，凡有耳的，就應當聽！得勝的，我必將那隱藏的嗎哪賜給他，並賜他一塊白石，石上寫着新名；除了那領受的以外，沒有人能認識。』」
18 “To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:
「你要寫信給推雅推喇教會的使者，說：『那眼目如火焰、腳像光明銅的上帝之子說：
19 “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
我知道你的行為、愛心、信心、勤勞、忍耐，又知道你末後所行的善事，比起初所行的更多。
20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
然而，有一件事我要責備你，就是你容讓那自稱是先知的婦人耶洗別教導我的僕人，引誘他們行姦淫，吃祭偶像之物。
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
我曾給她悔改的機會，她卻不肯悔改她的淫行。
22 Behold, I will throw her and those who commit adultery with her into a bed of great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
看哪，我要叫她病臥在床。那些與她行淫的人，若不悔改所行的，我也要叫他們同受大患難。
23 I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
我又要殺死她的黨類，叫眾教會知道，我是那察看人肺腑心腸的，並要照你們的行為報應你們各人。
24 But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira—as many as don’t have this teaching, who don’t know what some call ‘the deep things of Satan’—to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
至於你們推雅推喇其餘的人，就是一切不從那教訓、不曉得他們素常所說撒但深奧之理的人，我告訴你們，我不將別的擔子放在你們身上。
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
但你們已經有的，總要持守，直等到我來。
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
那得勝又遵守我命令到底的，我要賜給他權柄制伏列國；
27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots, as I also have received of my Father;
他必用鐵杖轄管他們，將他們如同窯戶的瓦器打得粉碎，像我從我父領受的權柄一樣。
28 and I will give him the morning star.
我又要把晨星賜給他。
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
聖靈向眾教會所說的話，凡有耳的，就應當聽！』」
