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

¹ “To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: “He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:

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.

² “I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.

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

³ You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have TR adds “have labored and” not grown weary.

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

⁴ But I have this against you, that you left your first love.

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.

⁵ Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.

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

⁶ But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

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

⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.

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

⁸ “To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:

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.

⁹ “I know your works, oppression, 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.

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!

¹⁰ Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, 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 to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

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

¹¹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won’t be harmed by the second death.

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

¹² “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:

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.

¹³ “I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn’t deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

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.

¹⁴ 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.

¹⁵Nõndasamuti on sinulgi nikolaiitide õpetusest kinnipidajaid.

¹⁵ So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise TR reads “which I hate” instead of “likewise” .

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

¹⁶ Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

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.

¹⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, Manna is supernatural food, named after the Hebrew for “What is it?”. See Exodus 11:7-9. 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.

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

¹⁸ “To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:

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

¹⁹ “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.

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.

²⁰ But I have this against you, that you tolerate your TR, NU read “that” instead of “your” woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

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

²¹ I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.

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

²² Behold, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her 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.

²³ I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

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.

²⁴ But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as don’t have this teaching, who don’t know what some call ‘the deep things of Satan,’ to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.

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

²⁵ Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.

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

²⁶ He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.

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

²⁷ He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots; Psalm 2:9 as I also have received of my Father:

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

²⁸ and I will give him the morning star.

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

²⁹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
