1Anjelovi sboru v Sardách napíš: Toto hovorí ten, ktorý má tých sedem duchov Božích a sedem hviezd: Znám tvoje skutky, že máš meno, že žiješ, a si mŕtvy.
1 “And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: “He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these things: “I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
2Bdej a upevňuj i všetko ostatné, čo ide zomrieť. Lebo som nenašiel tvojich skutkov úplných pred svojím Bohom.
2 Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which you were about to throw away, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God.
3Pamätaj tedy, jako si prijal a počul a ostríhaj a učiň pokánie. Keď tedy nebudeš bdieť, prijdem na teba jako zlodej, a nezvieš, v ktorú hodinu prijdem na teba.
3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you.
4Ale máš i v Sardách niekoľko málo osôb, ktoré nepoškvrnily svojho rúcha, a budú sa prechádzať so mnou v bielom rúchu, pretože sú hodni.
4 Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
5Ten, kto víťazí, bude odiaty bielym rúchom, a nevytriem jeho mena z knihy života a vyznám jeho meno pred svojím Otcom i pred jeho anjelmi.
5 He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6Kto má uši, nech počuje, čo Duch hovorí sborom!
6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
7A anjelovi sboru vo Filadelfii napíš: Toto hovorí svätý, ten pravdivý, ktorý má kľúč Dávidov: ktorý otvára,, a nikto nezaviera, a zaviera, a nikto neotvára.
7 “To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: “He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things:
8Znám tvoje skutky. Hľa, dal som pred tebou otvorené dvere, a nikto ich nemôže zavrieť, lebo máš malú moc a ostríhal si moje slovo a nezaprel si môjho mena.
8 “I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word, and didn’t deny my name.
9Hľa, dávam zo synagógy satanovej niektorých z tých, ktorí hovoria o sebe, že sú Židmi, a nie sú, ale luhajú: hľa spôsobím to, aby prišli a klaňali sa pred tvojimi nohami a poznali, že som si ťa ja zamiloval.
9 Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie. Behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
10Preto, že si ostríhal slovo mojej trpezlivosti, i ja budem teba ostríhať a vytrhnem ťa z hodiny pokušenia, ktorá prijde na celý svet zkúsiť tých, ktorí bývajú na zemi.
10 Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11Hľa, prijdem rýchle. Drž to, čo máš, aby nikto nevzal tvojej koruny!
11 I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.
12Toho, kto víťazí, učiním stĺpom v chráme svojho Boha, a von nevyjde viacej nikdy, a napíšem na neho meno mesta svojho Boha, toho nového Jeruzalema, ktorý sostupuje z neba od môjho Boha, i svoje nové meno.
12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
13Kto má uši, nech počuje, čo Duch hovorí sborom!
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
14A anjelovi sboru Laodičanov napíš: Toto hovorí Ameň, ten verný a pravdivý svedok, počiatok stvorenia Božieho:
14 “To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: “The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God’s creation, says these things:
15Znám tvoje skutky, že nie si ani studený ani horúci. Bárs by si bol studený alebo horúci!
15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
16Takto, že si vlažný, ani studený ani horúci, vypľujem ťa zo svojich úst.
16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
17Lebo hovoríš: Som bohatý a zbohatnul som a nepotrebujem nikoho, a nevieš, že si ty biedny i mizerný na poľutovanie i chudobný i slepý i nahý.
17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;’ and don’t know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;
18Radím ti, aby si si kúpil odo mňa zlata prečisteného v ohni, aby si zbohatol, a biele rúcho, aby si sa odial, aby sa neukázala hanba tvojej nahoty, a kollýrium pomazať svoje oči, aby si videl.
18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.
19Ja všetkých, ktorých milujem, karhám a otcovsky trescem. Rozhorli sa tedy a učiň pokánie.
19 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
20Hľa, stojím pri dveriach a klepem. Keby niekto počul môj hlas a otvoril by dvere, vojdem k nemu a budem večerať s ním a on so mnou.
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.
21Tomu, kto víťazí, dám sedieť so sebou na svojom tróne, jako som i ja zvíťazil a sedím so svojím Otcom na jeho tróne.
21 He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22Kto má uši, nech počuje, čo Duch hovorí sborom!
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
