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 art dead.
2 Esto vigilans, et confirma cetera, quae moritura erant. Non enim invenio opera tua plena coram Deo meo.
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before 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 heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee 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.
Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled 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, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but 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 no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man 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 an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied 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 will make them of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and 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 hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Ecce venio cito: tene quod habes, ut nemo accipiat coronam tuam.
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man 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.
Him that overcometh, will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my 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 of the Laodiceans 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 then, because thou art luke-warm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit 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 increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, 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 tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eye-salve, that thou mayest see.
19 Ego quos amo, arguo, et castigo. Aemulare ergo, et poenitentiam age.
As many as I love, I rebuke 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 shall 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.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me on my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father on 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.
