¹Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

¹Efesose koguduse inglile kirjuta: Nõnda ütleb see, kes hoiab seitset tähte oma paremas käes, kes kõnnib seitsme kuldlambijala vahel:

²I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

²Ma tean su tegusid ja vaevanägemist ja kannatlikkust ning et sa ei või sallida kurjasid ning et sa oled läbi katsunud need, kes ütlevad end olevat apostlid, kuid ei ole seda, ning leidnud nad olevat valelikud.

³And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

³Sul on kannatlikkust ning sa oled talunud vaeva minu nime pärast ega ole ära väsinud.

⁴Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

⁴Kuid mul on sinu vastu, et sa oled oma esimese armastuse maha jätnud.

⁵Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

⁵Tuleta siis meelde, kust sa oled langenud, ja paranda meelt ning tee esimese armastuse tegusid! Muidu ma tulen su juurde ning lükkan su lambijala asemelt, kui sa ei paranda meelt.

⁶But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

⁶Seda sa teed siiski õigesti, et vihkad nikolaiitide tegusid, mida vihkan minagi.

⁷He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

⁷Kellel kõrv on, see kuulgu, mida Vaim ütleb kogudustele: Võitjale ma annan süüa elupuust, mis on Jumala paradiisis.

⁸And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

⁸Ja Smürna koguduse inglile kirjuta: Nõnda ütleb Esimene ja Viimne, kes oli surnud ning on jälle elavaks saanud:

⁹I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

⁹Ma tean su viletsust ja vaesust - kuid sa oled rikas - ning nende teotamist, kes ütlevad end olevat juudid, kuid ei ole seda, vaid on saatana sünagoog.

¹⁰Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

¹⁰Ära karda seda, mida sul tuleb kannatada! Ennäe, kurat heidab mõned teie seast vangi, et teid läbi katsutaks, ning teil on viletsust kümme päeva. Ole ustav surmani, ja ma annan sulle elupärja!

¹¹He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

¹¹Kellel kõrv on, see kuulgu, mida Vaim ütleb kogudustele: Võitjale ei tee teine surm mingit kahju!

¹²And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

¹²Ja Pergamoni koguduse inglile kirjuta: Nõnda ütleb see, kelle käes on vahe kaheterane mõõk:

¹³I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

¹³Ma tean, kus sa elad - seal, kus on saatana troon. Ja sa pead kinni minu nimest ega ole salanud minu usku ka neil päevil, mil Antipas, mu tunnistaja, minu ustav, tapeti teie juures, seal, kus elab saatan.

¹⁴But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

¹⁴Kuid mul on pisut sinu vastu: sinu juures on neid, kes peavad kinni Bileami õpetusest, kes õpetas Baalakit panema Iisraeli laste ette püünispaela: sööma ebajumalate ohvreid ning hoorama.

¹⁵So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

¹⁵Nõndasamuti on sinulgi nikolaiitide õpetusest kinnipidajaid.

¹⁶Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

¹⁶Paranda siis meelt, muidu ma tulen varsti su juurde ning sõdin nende vastu oma suu mõõgaga.

¹⁷He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

¹⁷Kellel kõrv on, see kuulgu, mida Vaim ütleb kogudustele: Võitjale ma annan süüa peidetud mannat ning annan talle valge kivikese ning kivikesele kirjutatud uue nime, mida ükski peale saaja ei tea.

¹⁸And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

¹⁸Ja Tüatiira koguduse inglile kirjuta: Nõnda ütleb Jumala Poeg, kelle silmad on nagu tuleleek ning kelle jalad on vasemaagi sarnased:

¹⁹I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

¹⁹Ma tean sinu tegusid ja armastust ja usku ja teenimist ja su kannatlikkust ning et su viimaseid tegusid on rohkem kui esimesi.

²⁰Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

²⁰Kuid mul on sinu vastu, et sa lased naist Iisebeli, kes nimetab end prohvetiks ja õpetab, eksitada ka minu sulaseid hoorama ja sööma ebajumalate ohvreid.

²¹And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

²¹Ma olen talle andnud aega meeleparanduseks, ent tema ei taha parandada meelt oma hoorusest.

²²Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

²²Ennäe, ma viskan ta tõvevoodisse ning temaga abielu rikkujad suurde viletsusse, kui nad ei paranda meelt ega lõpeta oma tegusid,

²³And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

²³ja hävitan ta lapsed surmaga, ning kõik kogudused saavad aru, et mina olen see, kes uurib läbi meeled ja südamed, ning annan igaühele teist teie tegusid mööda.

²⁴But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

²⁴Aga ma ütlen teile, muudele Tüatiiras, kellel ei ole seda õpetust, kes pole ära tundnud saatana sügavikke, nagu nemad ütlevad, - teie peale ma ei pane muud koormat.

²⁵But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

²⁵Pidage vaid kinni sellest, mis teil on, kuni ma tulen!

²⁶And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

²⁶Kes võidab ja minu tegusid lõpuni hoiab, sellele ma annan meelevalla paganate üle

²⁷And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

²⁷ning ta hoiab neid kui karjane raudsauaga, nii nagu purustatakse saviastjaid,

²⁸And I will give him the morning star.

²⁸otsekui minagi olen saanud meelevalla oma Isalt, ning ma annan talle koidutähe.

²⁹He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

²⁹Kellel kõrv on, see kuulgu, mida Vaim ütleb kogudustele!
