¹`To the messenger of the Ephesian assembly write: These things saith he who is holding the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the midst of the seven lamp-stands — the golden:

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

²I have known thy works, and thy labour, and thy endurance, and that thou art not able to bear evil ones, and that thou hast tried those saying themselves to be 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 thou didst bear, and hast endurance, and because of my name hast toiled, and hast not been weary.

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

⁴`But I have against thee: That thy first love thou didst leave!

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

⁵remember, then, whence thou hast fallen, and reform, and the first works do; and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will remove thy lamp-stand from its place — if thou mayest not reform;

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 dost hate the works of the Nicolaitans, that I also hate.

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

⁷He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming — I will give to him to eat of the tree of life that 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.

⁸`And to the messenger of the assembly of the Smyrneans write: These things saith the First and the Last, who did become dead and did live;

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

⁹I have known thy works, and tribulation, and poverty — yet thou art rich — and the evil-speaking of those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but [are] a synagogue of the Adversary.

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.

¹⁰`Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the 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 who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: He who is overcoming may not be injured of the second death.

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

¹²`And to the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things saith he who is having the sharp two-edged sword:

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

¹³I have known thy works, and where thou dost dwell — where the throne of the Adversary [is] — and thou dost hold fast my name, and thou didst not deny my faith, even in the days in which Antipas [was] my faithful witness, who was put to death beside you, where the Adversary doth dwell.

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.

¹⁴`But I have against thee a few things: That thou hast there those holding the teaching of Balaam, who did teach Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices, and to commit whoredom;

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, even thou, those holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans — which thing I hate.

¹⁵Nõndasamuti on sinulgi nikolaiitide õpetusest kinnipidajaid.

¹⁶`Reform! and if not, I come to 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 who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving [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.

¹⁸`And to the messenger of the assembly of Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who is having his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass;

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

¹⁹I have known thy works, and love, and ministration, and faith, and thy endurance, and thy works — and the last [are] 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.

²⁰`But I have against thee a few things: That thou dost suffer the woman Jezebel, who is calling herself a prophetess, to teach, and to lead astray, my servants to commit whoredom, and idol-sacrifices to eat;

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 did give to her a time that she might reform from her whoredom, and she did not reform;

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

²²lo, I will cast her into a couch, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation — if they may not repent of their works,

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

²³and her children I will kill in death, and know shall all the assemblies that I am he who is searching reins and hearts; and I will give to you — to each — 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.

²⁴`And to you I say, and to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, and who did not know the depths of the Adversary, as they say; I will not put upon you 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 — hold ye, till I may come;

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

²⁶and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority 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 the potter they shall be broken — as I also have received from my Father;

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

²⁸and I will give to him the morning star.

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

²⁹He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

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