新約 -- 啟示錄(Revelation) -- 第2章
2:1 你要寫信給以弗所教會的使者,說,那右手拿著七星,在七個金燈臺中間行走的,說,Unto 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;
2:2 我知道你的行為,勞碌,忍耐,也知道你不能容忍惡人,你也曾試驗那自稱為使徒卻不是使徒的,看出他們是假的來。
I 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:
2:3 你也能忍耐,曾為我的名勞苦,并不乏倦。
And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
2:4 然而有一件事我要責備你,就是你把起初的愛心離棄了。
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
2:5 所以應當回想你是從那里墜落的,并要悔改,行起初所行的事。你若不悔改,我就臨到你那里,把你的燈臺從原處挪去。
Remember 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.
2:6 然而你還有一個可取的事,就是你恨惡尼哥拉一黨人的行為,這也是我所恨惡的。
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
2:7 圣靈向眾教會所說的話,凡有耳的,就應當聽。得勝的,我必將神樂園中生命樹的果子賜給他吃。
He 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.
2:8 你要寫信給士每拿教會的使者說,那首先的,末后的,死過又活的說,And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
2:9 我知道你的患難,你的貧窮,(你卻是富足的)也知道那自稱是猶太人所說的悔謗話,其實他們不是猶太人,乃是撒但一會的人。
I 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.
2:10 你將要受的苦你不用怕。魔鬼要你們中間幾個人下在監里,叫你們被試煉。你們必受患難十日。你務要至死忠心,我就賜給你那生命的冠冕。
Fear 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.
2:11 圣靈向眾教會所說的話,凡有耳的,就應當聽。得勝的,必不受第二次死的害。
He 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.
2:12 你要寫信給別迦摩教會的使者,說,那有兩刃利劍的說,And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
2:13 我知道你的居所,就是有撒但座位之處。當我忠心的見證人安提帕在你們中間,撒但所住的地方被殺之時,你還堅守我的名,沒有棄絕我的道。
I 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.
2:14 然而有幾件事我要責備你,因為在你那里,有人服從巴蘭的教訓。這巴蘭曾教導巴勒將絆腳石放在以色列人面前,叫他們吃祭偶像之物,行奸淫的事。
But 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.
2:15 你那里也有人照樣服從了尼哥拉一黨人的教訓。
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
2:16 所以你當悔改。若不悔改,我就快臨到你那里,用我口中的劍,攻擊他們。
Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
2:17 圣靈向眾教會所說的話,凡有耳的就應當聽。得勝的,我必將那隱藏的嗎哪賜給他。并賜他一塊白石,石上寫著新名。除了那領受的以外。沒有人能認識。
He 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.
2:18 你要寫信給推雅推喇教會的使者,說,那眼目如火焰,腳像光明銅的神之子,說,And 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;
2:19 我知道你的行為,愛心,信心,勤勞,忍耐。又知道你末后所行的善事,比起初所行的更多。
I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
2:20 然而有一件事我要責備你,就是你容讓那自稱是先知的婦人耶洗別教導我的仆人,引誘他們行奸淫,吃祭偶像之物。
Notwithstanding 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.
2:21 我曾給他悔改的機會,他卻不肯悔改他的淫行。
And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
2:22 看哪,我要叫他病臥在床,那些與他行淫的人,若不悔改所行的,我也要叫他們同受大患難。
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
2:23 我又要殺死他的黨類(黨類原文作兒女),叫眾教會知道,我是那察看人肺腑心腸的。并要照你們的行為報應你們各人。
And 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.
2:24 至于你們推雅推喇其馀的人,就是一切不從那教訓,不曉得他們素常所說撒但深奧之理的人。我告訴你們,我不將別的擔子放在你們身上。
But 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.
2:25 但你們已經有的,總要持守,直等到我來。
But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
2:26 那得勝又遵守我命令到底的,我要賜給他權柄制伏列國。
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
2:27 他必用鐵杖轄管他們(轄管原文作牧),將他們如同窯戶的瓦器打得粉碎。像我從我父領受的權柄一樣。
And 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.
2:28 我又要把晨星賜給他。
And I will give him the morning star.
2:29 圣靈向眾教會所說的話,凡有耳的就應當聽。
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
