prakāśitaṁ 2
1 iphiṣasthasamite rdūtaṁ prati tvam idaṁ likha; yo dakṣiṇakareṇa sapta tārā dhārayati saptānāṁ suvarṇadīpavṛkṣāṇāṁ madhye gamanāgamane karoti ca tenedam ucyate|
"To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: "He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:
2 tava kriyāḥ śramaḥ sahiṣṇutā ca mama gocarāḥ, tvaṁ duṣṭān soḍhuṁ na śaknoṣi ye ca preritā na santaḥ svān preritān vadanti tvaṁ tān parīkṣya mṛṣābhāṣiṇo vijñātavān,
"I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.
3 aparaṁ tvaṁ titikṣāṁ vidadhāsi mama nāmārthaṁ bahu soḍhavānasi tathāpi na paryyaklāmyastadapi jānāmi|
You have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary.
4 kiñca tava viruddhaṁ mayaitat vaktavyaṁ yat tava prathamaṁ prema tvayā vyahīyata|
But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
5 ataḥ kutaḥ patito 'si tat smṛtvā manaḥ parāvarttya pūrvvīyakriyāḥ kuru na cet tvayā manasi na parivarttite 'haṁ tūrṇam āgatya tava dīpavṛkṣaṁ svasthānād apasārayiṣyāmi|
Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.
6 tathāpi taveṣa guṇo vidyate yat nīkalāyatīyalokānāṁ yāḥ kriyā aham ṛtīye tāstvamapi ṛtīyame|
But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 yasya śrotraṁ vidyate sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānām ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śṛṇotu| yo jano jayati tasmā aham īśvarasyārāmasthajīvanataroḥ phalaṁ bhoktuṁ dāsyāmi|
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
8 aparaṁ smurṇāsthasamite rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha; ya ādirantaśca yo mṛtavān punarjīvitavāṁśca tenedam ucyate,
"To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: "The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
9 tava kriyāḥ kleśo dainyañca mama gocarāḥ kintu tvaṁ dhanavānasi ye ca yihūdīyā na santaḥ śayatānasya samājāḥ santi tathāpi svān yihūdīyān vadanti teṣāṁ nindāmapyahaṁ jānāmi|
"I know your tribulation 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.
10 tvayā yo yaḥ kleśaḥ soḍhavyastasmāt mā bhaiṣīḥ paśya śayatāno yuṣmākaṁ parīkṣārthaṁ kāṁścit kārāyāṁ nikṣepsyati daśa dināni yāvat kleśo yuṣmāsu varttiṣyate ca| tvaṁ mṛtyuparyyantaṁ viśvāsyo bhava tenāhaṁ jīvanakirīṭaṁ tubhyaṁ dāsyāmi|
Do not be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Look, 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 until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 yasya śrotraṁ vidyate sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānām ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śṛṇotu| yo jayati sa dvitīyamṛtyunā na hiṁsiṣyate|
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death.
12 aparaṁ pargāmasthasamite rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha, yastīkṣṇaṁ dvidhāraṁ khaṅgaṁ dhārayati sa eva bhāṣate|
"To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
13 tava kriyā mama gocarāḥ, yatra śayatānasya siṁhāsanaṁ tatraiva tvaṁ vasasi tadapi jānāmi| tvaṁ mama nāma dhārayasi madbhakterasvīkārastvayā na kṛto mama viśvāsyasākṣiṇa āntipāḥ samaye 'pi na kṛtaḥ| sa tu yuṣmanmadhye 'ghāni yataḥ śayatānastatraiva nivasati|
"I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas, my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
14 tathāpi tava viruddhaṁ mama kiñcid vaktavyaṁ yato devaprasādādanāya paradāragamanāya cesrāyelaḥ santānānāṁ sammukha unmāthaṁ sthāpayituṁ bālāk yenāśikṣyata tasya biliyamaḥ śikṣāvalambinastava kecit janāstatra santi|
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.
15 tathā nīkalāyatīyānāṁ śikṣāvalambinastava kecit janā api santi tadevāham ṛtīye|
So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.
16 ato hetostvaṁ manaḥ parivarttaya na cedahaṁ tvarayā tava samīpamupasthāya madvaktasthakhaṅgena taiḥ saha yotsyāmi|
Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 yasya śrotraṁ vidyate sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānām ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śṛṇotu| yo jano jayati tasmā ahaṁ guptamānnāṁ bhoktuṁ dāsyāmi śubhraprastaramapi tasmai dāsyāmi tatra prastare nūtanaṁ nāma likhitaṁ tacca grahītāraṁ vinā nānyena kenāpyavagamyate|
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 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 aparaṁ thuyātīrāsthasamite rdūtaṁ pratīdaṁ likha| yasya locane vahniśikhāsadṛśe caraṇau ca supittalasaṅkāśau sa īśvaraputro bhāṣate,
"To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: "The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished bronze, says these things:
19 tava kriyāḥ prema viśvāsaḥ paricaryyā sahiṣṇutā ca mama gocarāḥ, tava prathamakriyābhyaḥ śeṣakriyāḥ śreṣṭhāstadapi jānāmi|
"I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
20 tathāpi tava viruddhaṁ mayā kiñcid vaktavyaṁ yato yā īṣebalnāmikā yoṣit svāṁ bhaviṣyadvādinīṁ manyate veśyāgamanāya devaprasādāśanāya ca mama dāsān śikṣayati bhrāmayati ca sā tvayā na nivāryyate|
But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
21 ahaṁ manaḥparivarttanāya tasyai samayaṁ dattavān kintu sā svīyaveśyākriyāto manaḥparivarttayituṁ nābhilaṣati|
I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
22 paśyāhaṁ tāṁ śayyāyāṁ nikṣepsyāmi, ye tayā sārddhaṁ vyabhicāraṁ kurvvanti te yadi svakriyābhyo manāṁsi na parāvarttayanti tarhi tānapi mahākleśe nikṣepsyāmi
Look, I will throw her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
23 tasyāḥ santānāṁśca mṛtyunā haniṣyāmi| tenāham antaḥkaraṇānāṁ manasāñcānusandhānakārī yuṣmākamekaikasmai ca svakriyāṇāṁ phalaṁ mayā dātavyamiti sarvvāḥ samitayo jñāsyanti|
I will kill her children with Death, and all the churches 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 aparam avaśiṣṭān thuyātīrasthalokān arthato yāvantastāṁ śikṣāṁ na dhārayanti ye ca kaiścit śayatānasya gambhīrārthā ucyante tān ye nāvagatavantastānahaṁ vadāmi yuṣmāsu kamapyaparaṁ bhāraṁ nāropayiṣyāmi;
But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who do not know what some call 'the deep things of Satan,' to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
25 kintu yad yuṣmākaṁ vidyate tat mamāgamanaṁ yāvad dhārayata|
Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
26 yo jano jayati śeṣaparyyantaṁ mama kriyāḥ pālayati ca tasmā aham anyajātīyānām ādhipatyaṁ dāsyāmi;
He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
27 pitṛto mayā yadvat kartṛtvaṁ labdhaṁ tadvat so 'pi lauhadaṇḍena tān cārayiṣyati tena mṛdbhājanānīva te cūrṇā bhaviṣyanti|
He will rule them with an iron scepter, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:
28 aparam ahaṁ tasmai prabhātīyatārām api dāsyāmi|
and I will give him the morning star.
29 yasya śrotraṁ vidyate sa samitīḥ pratyucyamānām ātmanaḥ kathāṁ śṛṇotu|
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
