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:
iphiSasthasamitE rdUtaM prati tvam idaM likha; yO dakSiNakarENa sapta tArA dhArayati saptAnAM suvarNadIpavRkSANAM madhyE gamanAgamanE karOti ca tEnEdam ucyatE|
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.
tava kriyAH zramaH sahiSNutA ca mama gOcarAH, tvaM duSTAn sOPhuM na zaknOSi yE ca prEritA na santaH svAn prEritAn vadanti tvaM tAn parIkSya mRSAbhASiNO vijnjAtavAn,
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
aparaM tvaM titikSAM vidadhAsi mama nAmArthaM bahu sOPhavAnasi tathApi na paryyaklAmyastadapi jAnAmi|
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
kinjca tava viruddhaM mayaitat vaktavyaM yat tava prathamaM prEma tvayA vyahIyata|
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.
ataH kutaH patitO 'si tat smRtvA manaH parAvarttya pUrvvIyakriyAH kuru na cEt tvayA manasi na parivarttitE 'haM tUrNam Agatya tava dIpavRkSaM svasthAnAd apasArayiSyAmi|
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
tathApi tavESa guNO vidyatE yat nIkalAyatIyalOkAnAM yAH kriyA aham RtIyE tAstvamapi RtIyamE|
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.
yasya zrOtraM vidyatE sa samitIH pratyucyamAnAm AtmanaH kathAM zRNOtu| yO janO jayati tasmA aham IzvarasyArAmasthajIvanatarOH phalaM bhOktuM dAsyAmi|
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:
aparaM smurNAsthasamitE rdUtaM pratIdaM likha; ya Adirantazca yO mRtavAn punarjIvitavAMzca tEnEdam ucyatE,
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.
tava kriyAH klEzO dainyanjca mama gOcarAH kintu tvaM dhanavAnasi yE ca yihUdIyA na santaH zayatAnasya samAjAH santi tathApi svAn yihUdIyAn vadanti tESAM nindAmapyahaM jAnAmi|
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.
tvayA yO yaH klEzaH sOPhavyastasmAt mA bhaiSIH pazya zayatAnO yuSmAkaM parIkSArthaM kAMzcit kArAyAM nikSEpsyati daza dinAni yAvat klEzO yuSmAsu varttiSyatE ca| tvaM mRtyuparyyantaM vizvAsyO bhava tEnAhaM jIvanakirITaM tubhyaM dAsyAmi|
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.
yasya zrOtraM vidyatE sa samitIH pratyucyamAnAm AtmanaH kathAM zRNOtu| yO jayati sa dvitIyamRtyunA na hiMsiSyatE|
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
aparaM pargAmasthasamitE rdUtaM pratIdaM likha, yastIkSNaM dvidhAraM khaggaM dhArayati sa Eva bhASatE|
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.
tava kriyA mama gOcarAH, yatra zayatAnasya siMhAsanaM tatraiva tvaM vasasi tadapi jAnAmi| tvaM mama nAma dhArayasi madbhaktErasvIkArastvayA na kRtO mama vizvAsyasAkSiNa AntipAH samayE 'pi na kRtaH| sa tu yuSmanmadhyE 'ghAni yataH zayatAnastatraiva nivasati|
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.
tathApi tava viruddhaM mama kinjcid vaktavyaM yatO dEvaprasAdAdanAya paradAragamanAya cEsrAyElaH santAnAnAM sammukha unmAthaM sthApayituM bAlAk yEnAzikSyata tasya biliyamaH zikSAvalambinastava kEcit janAstatra santi|
15 So also you likewise have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
tathA nIkalAyatIyAnAM zikSAvalambinastava kEcit janA api santi tadEvAham RtIyE|
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
atO hEtOstvaM manaH parivarttaya na cEdahaM tvarayA tava samIpamupasthAya madvaktasthakhaggEna taiH saha yOtsyAmi|
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.

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:
aparaM thuyAtIrAsthasamitE rdUtaM pratIdaM likha| yasya lOcanE vahnizikhAsadRzE caraNau ca supittalasagkAzau sa IzvaraputrO bhASatE,
19 “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
tava kriyAH prEma vizvAsaH paricaryyA sahiSNutA ca mama gOcarAH, tava prathamakriyAbhyaH zESakriyAH zrESThAstadapi jAnAmi|
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.
tathApi tava viruddhaM mayA kinjcid vaktavyaM yatO yA ISEbalnAmikA yOSit svAM bhaviSyadvAdinIM manyatE vEzyAgamanAya dEvaprasAdAzanAya ca mama dAsAn zikSayati bhrAmayati ca sA tvayA na nivAryyatE|
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
ahaM manaHparivarttanAya tasyai samayaM dattavAn kintu sA svIyavEzyAkriyAtO manaHparivarttayituM nAbhilaSati|
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.
pazyAhaM tAM zayyAyAM nikSEpsyAmi, yE tayA sArddhaM vyabhicAraM kurvvanti tE yadi svakriyAbhyO manAMsi na parAvarttayanti tarhi tAnapi mahAklEzE nikSEpsyAmi
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.

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.
aparam avaziSTAn thuyAtIrasthalOkAn arthatO yAvantastAM zikSAM na dhArayanti yE ca kaizcit zayatAnasya gambhIrArthA ucyantE tAn yE nAvagatavantastAnahaM vadAmi yuSmAsu kamapyaparaM bhAraM nArOpayiSyAmi;
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
kintu yad yuSmAkaM vidyatE tat mamAgamanaM yAvad dhArayata|
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
yO janO jayati zESaparyyantaM mama kriyAH pAlayati ca tasmA aham anyajAtIyAnAm AdhipatyaM dAsyAmi;
27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots, as I also have received of my Father;
pitRtO mayA yadvat kartRtvaM labdhaM tadvat sO 'pi lauhadaNPEna tAn cArayiSyati tEna mRdbhAjanAnIva tE cUrNA bhaviSyanti|
28 and I will give him the morning star.
aparam ahaM tasmai prabhAtIyatArAm api dAsyAmi|
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
