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.
1In angelu cerkve v Sardih piši: To pravi on, ki ima sedmero Duhov Božjih in zvezd sedmero: Vem za dela tvoja, da imaš ime, da živiš, in si mrtev.
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.
2Zbudi se in utrdi ostalo, kar je že umiralo. Kajti del tvojih nisem našel popolnih pred Bogom svojim.
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.
3Spominjaj se torej, kako si prejel in slišal, ter hrani to in se izpokóri. Ako se torej ne zbudiš, pridem kakor tat in ne boš vedel, ob kateri uri pridem nad tebe.
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.
4Ali imaš malo imen v Sardih, kateri niso oskrunili svojih oblačil, in hodili bodo z menoj v belih, ker so vredni.
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.
5Kdor premaga, bo tako oblečen v bela oblačila, in nikakor ne izbrišem imena njegovega iz knjige življenja, a pripoznam ime njegovo pred Očetom svojim in pred angeli njegovimi.
6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
6Kdor ima uho, naj sliši, kaj Duh govori cerkvam.
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:
7In angelu cerkve v Filadelfiji piši: To pravi Sveti, Resnični, ki ima ključ Davidov, ki odpira, in nihče ne zapre, in zapira, in nihče ne odpre.
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.
8Vem za dela tvoja. Glej, postavil sem pred teboj vrata odprta, in nihče jih ne more zapreti, ker majhno imaš moč, in ohranil si besedo mojo in nisi zatajil imena mojega.
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.
9Glej, dajem ti jih iz zbornice satanove, ki pravijo, da so Judje, a niso, ampak lažejo; glej, storil bom, da pridejo in pokleknejo pred noge tvoje, in spoznajo, da sem te jaz ljubil.
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.
10Ker si ohranil besedo stanovitnosti moje, te ohranim tudi jaz iz ure izkušnjave, ki ima priti na vesoljni svet, izkušat te, ki prebivajo na zemlji.
11 I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.
11Hitro pridem; trdno drži, kar imaš, da ti nihče ne vzame venca.
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.
12Njega, kdor premaga, naredim za steber v templju Boga svojega, in ven ne pojde več, in zapišem nanj ime Boga svojega in ime mesta Boga svojega, novega Jeruzalema, ki z neba doli gre od Boga mojega, in ime svoje novo.
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
13Kdor ima uho, naj sliši, kaj Duh govori cerkvam.
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:
14In angelu cerkve v Laodiceji piši: To pravi, ki je Amen, priča zvesta in resnična, začetek stvarjenja Božjega:
15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
15Vem za dela tvoja, da nisi ne mrzel, ne gorak. Da bi bil mrzel ali gorak!
16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
16Tako pa, ker si mlačen in ne mrzel, ne gorak, te hočem izpljuniti iz svojih ust.
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;
17Ker praviš: Bogat sem in obogatel sem in ničesar ne potrebujem, in ne veš, da si revež in pomilovanja vreden in ubog in slep in nag,
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.
18ti svetujem, da kupiš od mene zlata, očiščenega v ognju, da obogatiš, in bela oblačila, da se oblečeš in da se ne pokaže sramota nagote tvoje, in mazila, da si ž njim pomažeš oči, da bi videl.
19 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
19Jaz, katerekoli ljubim, svarim in pokorim; razvnemi se torej in se izpokori!
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.
20Glej, pri vratih stojim in trkam; če kdo čuje glas moj in odpre vrata, vstopim k njemu, in večerjal bom ž njim in on z menoj.
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.
21Njemu, kdor premaga, dam sedeti z menoj na prestolu svojem, kakor sem tudi jaz premagal in sedel z Očetom svojim na prestol njegov.Kdor ima uho, naj sliši, kaj govori Duh cerkvam.
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
22Kdor ima uho, naj sliši, kaj govori Duh cerkvam.
