Apocalypsis 3
1 Et Angelo Ecclesiae Sardis scribe: Haec dicit qui habet septem Spiritus Dei, et septem stellas: Scio opera tua, quia nomen habes quod vivas, et mortuus es.
And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These things saith he that 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.
2 Esto vigilans, et confirma cetera, quae moritura erant. Non enim invenio opera tua plena coram Deo meo.
Be thou watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine perfected before my God.
3 In mente ergo habe qualiter acceperis, et audieris, et serva, et poenitentiam age. Si ergo non vigilaveris, veniam ad te tamquam fur, et nescies qua hora veniam ad te.
Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear; and keep [it], and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Sed habes pauca nomina in Sardis, qui non inquinaverunt vestimenta sua: et ambulabunt mecum in albis, quia digni sunt.
But thou hast a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy.
5 Qui vicerit, sic vestietur vestimentis albis, et non delebo nomen eius de Libro vitae, et confitebor nomen eius coram Patre meo, et coram angelis eius.
He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
7 Et Angelo Philadelphiae ecclesiae scribe: Haec dicit Sanctus et Verus, qui habet clavem David: qui aperit, et nemo claudit: claudit, et nemo aperit:
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and none shall shut, and that shutteth and none openeth:
8 Scio opera tua. Ecce dedi coram te ostium apertum, quod nemo potest claudere: quia modicam habes virtutem, et servasti verbum meum, et non negasti nomen meum.
I know thy works (behold, I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut), that thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name.
9 Ecce dabo de synagoga satanae, qui dicunt se Iudaeos esse, et non sunt, sed mentiuntur: Ecce faciam illos ut veniant, et adorent ante pedes tuos: et scient quia ego dilexi te
Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of them that say they are Jews, and they are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 quoniam servasti verbum patientiae meae, et ego servabo te ab hora tentationis, quae ventura est in orbem universum tentare habitantes in terra.
Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that [hour] which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Ecce venio cito: tene quod habes, ut nemo accipiat coronam tuam.
I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown.
12 Qui vicerit, faciam illum columnam in templo Dei mei, et foras non egredietur amplius: et scribam super eum nomen Dei mei, et nomen civitatis Dei mei novae Ierusalem, quae descendit de caelo a Deo meo, et nomen meum novum.
He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name.
13 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
14 Et Angelo Laodiciae ecclesiae scribe: Haec dicit: Amen, testis fidelis, et verus, qui est principium creaturae Dei.
And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:
15 Scio opera tua: quia neque frigidus es, neque calidus: utinam frigidus esses, aut calidus:
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 sed quia tepidus es, et nec frigidus, nec calidus, incipiam te evomere ex ore meo.
So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
17 quia dicis: dives sum, et locupletatus, et nullius egeo: et nescis quia tu es miser, et miserabilis, et pauper, et caecus, et nudus.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked:
18 Suadeo tibi emere a me aurum ignitum probatum ut locuples fias, et vestimentis albis induaris, ut non appareat confusio nuditatis tuae, et collyrio inunge oculos tuos ut videas.
I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.
19 Ego quos amo, arguo, et castigo. Aemulare ergo, et poenitentiam age.
As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Ecce sto ad ostium, et pulso: siquis audierit vocem meam, et aperuerit mihi ianuam, intrabo ad illum, et coenabo cum illo, et ipse mecum.
Behold, I stand at the door and 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.
21 Qui vicerit, dabo ei sedere mecum in throno meo: sicut et ego vici, et sedi cum patre meo in throno eius.
He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.
22 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat Ecclesiis.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
