Revelation 2

1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of Him who holds the seven stars in His right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands.

1 اكْتُبْ إِلَى مَلاكِ الْكَنِيسَةِ فِي أَفَسُسَ: إِلَيْكَ مَا يَقُولُهُ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُ النُّجُومَ السَّبْعَ بِيَمِينِهِ وَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ مَنَائِرِ الذَّهَبِ السَّبْعِ:

2 I know your deeds, your labor, and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and you have tested and exposed as liars those who falsely claim to be apostles.

2 إِنِّي عَالِمٌ بِأَعْمَالِكَ، وَجَهْدِكَ، وَصَبْرِكَ، وَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ احْتِمَالَ الأَشْرَارِ، وَأَنَّكَ دَقَّقْتَ فِي فَحْصِ ادِّعَاءَاتِ أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ رُسُلٌ، وَمَا هُمْ بِرُسُلٍ، فَتَبَيَّنَ لَكَ أَنَّهُمْ دَجَّالُونَ!

3 Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name.

3 وَقَدْ تَأَلَّمْتَ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي بِصَبْرٍ وَبِغَيْرِ كَلَلٍ.

4 But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love.

4 وَلِي عَلَيْكَ أَنَّكَ تَرَكْتَ مَحَبَّتَكَ الأُولَى!

5 Therefore, keep in mind how far you have fallen. Repent and perform the deeds you did at first. But if you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.

5 فَاذْكُرْ مِنْ أَيْنَ سَقَطْتَ، وَتُبْ رَاجِعاً إِلَى أَعْمَالِكَ السَّابِقَةِ، وَإلَّا أَتَيْتُ وَزَحْزَحْتُ مَنَارَتَكَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِهَا إِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تَتُوبُ!

6 But you have this to your credit: You hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

6 أَمَّا مَا يَسُرُّنِي فِيكَ فَهُوَ أَنَّكَ تَكْرَهُ أَعْمَالَ النِّيقُولاوِيِّينَ الَّتِي أَكْرَهُهَا أَنَا أَيْضاً.

7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of life in the Paradise of God.

7 مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ فَلْيَسْمَعْ مَا يَقُولُهُ الرُّوحُ لِلْكَنَائِسِ! كُلُّ مَنْ يَنْتَصِرُ سَأُطْعِمُهُ مِنْ ثَمَرِ شَجَرَةِ الْحَيَاةِ فِي فِرْدَوْسِ اللهِ.

8 To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of the First and the Last, who died and returned to life.

8 وَاكْتُبْ إِلَى مَلاكِ الْكَنِيسَةِ فِي سِمِيرْنَا: إِلَيْكَ مَا يَقُولُهُ الأَوَّلُ وَالآخِرُ، الَّذِي كَانَ مَيْتاً وَعَادَ حَيًّا:

9 I know your affliction and your poverty—though you are rich! And I am aware of the slander of those who falsely claim to be Jews, but are in fact a synagogue of Satan.

9 إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ كَمْ تُقَاسِي مِنْ ضِيقٍ وَفَقْرٍ، رَغْمَ أَنَّكَ غَنِيٌّ. وَأَعْلَمُ تَجْرِيحَ الَّذِينَ يَدَّعُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يَهُودٌ وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا يَهُوداً، بَلْ هُمْ مَجْمَعٌ لِلشَّيْطَانِ!

10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

10 دَعْ عَنْكَ الْخَوْفَ مِمَّا يَنْتَظِرُكَ مِنْ آلامٍ، فَإِنَّ إِبْلِيسَ سَيَزُجُّ بِبَعْضِكُمْ فِي السِّجْنِ لِكَيْ تُمْتَحَنُوا، فَتُقَاسُونَ الاضْطِهَادَ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ. فَابْقَ أَمِيناً حَتَّى الْمَوْتِ، فَأَمْنَحَكَ إِكْلِيلَ الْحَيَاةِ.

11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who overcomes will not be harmed by the second death.

11 مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنٌ فَلْيَسْمَعْ مَا يَقُولُهُ الرُّوحُ لِلْكَنَائِسِ! كُلُّ مَنْ يَنْتَصِرُ لَنْ يَلْحَقَ بِهِ أَذَى الْمَوْتِ الثَّانِي!

12 To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of the One who holds the sharp, double-edged sword.

12 وَاكْتُبْ إِلَى مَلاكِ الْكَنِيسَةِ فِي بَرْغَامُسَ: إِلَيْكَ مَا يَقُولُهُ صَاحِبُ السَّيْفِ الْقَاطِعِ ذِي الْحَدَّيْنِ.

13 I know where you live, where the throne of Satan sits, yet you hold fast to My name. You did not deny your faith in Me, even in the days of My faithful witness Antipas, who was killed among you where Satan dwells.

13 إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَيْنَ تَسْكُنُ، حَيْثُ عَرْشُ الشَّيْطَانِ! وَرَغْمَ ذَلِكَ تَمَسَّكْتَ بِاسْمِي، وَرَفَضْتَ أَنْ تُنْكِرَ الإِيمَانَ بِي، حَتَّى فِي أَيَّامِ أَنْتِيبَاسَ شَهِيدِي الأَمِينِ، الَّذِي قُتِلَ عِنْدَكُمْ حَيْثُ يَسْكُنُ الشَّيْطَانُ!

14 But I have a few things against you, because some of you hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block before the Israelites so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality.

14 وَلَكِنِّي عَاتِبٌ عَلَيْكَ قَلِيلاً لأَنَّكَ تَتَسَامَحُ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ يَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِتَعْلِيمِ بَلْعَامَ عِنْدَمَا عَلَّمَ الْمَلِكَ بَالاقَ أَنْ يُدَمِّرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِتَوْرِيطِهِمْ فِي ارْتِكَابِ الزِّنَى وَالأَكْلِ مِنَ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُقَدَّمَةِ لِلأَصْنَامِ،

15 In the same way, some of you also hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.

15 هَكَذَا عِنْدَكَ أَنْتَ أَيْضاً قَوْمٌ يَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِتَعَالِيمِ النِّيقُولاوِيِّينَ!

16 Therefore repent! Otherwise I will come to you shortly and wage war against them with the sword of My mouth.

16 عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَتُوبَ، وَإلَّا جِئْتُكَ سَرِيعاً لأُحَارِبَ هَؤُلاءِ الضَّالِّينَ بِالسَّيْفِ الَّذِي فِي فَمِي.

17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will give the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone inscribed with a new name, known only to the one who receives it.

17 مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنٌ فَلْيَسْمَعْ مَا يَقُولُهُ الرُّوحُ لِلْكَنَائِسِ! كُلُّ مَنْ سَيَنْتَصِرُ سَأُطْعِمُهُ مِنَ المَنِّ الْخَفِيِّ، وَأُعْطِيهِ حَجَراً صَغِيراً أَبْيَضَ حُفِرَ عَلَيْهِ اسْمٌ جَدِيدٌ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ إِلّا الَّذِي يَأْخُذُهُ!

18 To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like a blazing fire and whose feet are like polished bronze.

18 وَاكْتُبْ إِلَى مَلاكِ الْكَنِيسَةِ فِي ثِيَاتِيرَا: إِلَيْكَ مَا يَقُولُهُ ابْنُ اللهِ الَّذِي عَيْنَاهُ كَلَهِيبِ نَارٍ وَرِجْلاهُ كَالنُّحَاسِ النَّقِيِّ:

19 I know your deeds—your love, your faith, your service, your perseverance—and your latest deeds are greater than your first.

19 إِنِّي عَالِمٌ بِأَعْمَالِكَ، وَمَحَبَّتِكَ، وَإِيمَانِكَ، وَتَضْحِيَتِكَ، وَصَبْرِكَ؛ وَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَعْمَالَكَ الأَخِيرَةَ زَادَتْ عَمَّا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ قَبْلاً!

20 But I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads My servants to be sexually immoral and to eat food sacrificed to idols.

20 وَلَكِنَّ لِي عَلَيْكَ أَنَّكَ تَتَسَاهَلُ مَعَ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ إِيزَابِلَ، الَّتِي تَدَّعِي أَنَّهَا نَبِيَّةٌ، فَتُعَلِّمُ عَبِيدِي وَتُغْوِيهِمْ أَنْ يَزْنُوا وَيَأْكُلُوا مِنَ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُقَدَّمَةِ لِلأَصْنَامِ.

21 Even though I have given her time to repent of her immorality, she is unwilling.

21 وَقَدْ أَمْهَلْتُهَا مُدَّةً لِتَتُوبَ تَارِكَةً زِنَاهَا، وَلَكِنَّهَا لَمْ تَتُبْ.

22 Behold, I will cast her onto a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer great tribulation unless they repent of her deeds.

22 فَإِنِّي سَأُلْقِيهَا عَلَى فِرَاشٍ، وَأَبْتَلِي الزَّانِينَ مَعَهَا بِمِحْنَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ، إِنْ كَانُوا لَا يَتُوبُونَ عَنْ أَعْمَالِهِمْ.

23 Then I will strike her children dead, and all the churches will know that I am the One who searches minds and hearts, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.

23 سَأُبِيدُ أَوْلادَهَا بِالْمَوْتِ، فَتَعْرِفُ الْكَنَائِسُ كُلُّهَا أَنَّنِي أَنَا الَّذِي أَفْحَصُ الأَفْكَارَ وَالْقُلُوبَ، وَأُجَازِي كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ بِحَسَبِ أَعْمَالِهِ.

24 But I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned the so-called deep things of Satan: I will place no further burden upon you

24 أَمَّا أَنْتُمُ، الْبَاقِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ ثِيَاتِيرَا، الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَتَقَبَّلُوا هَذَا التَّعْلِيمَ الْفَاسِدَ، وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا مَا يَدْعُونَهُ أَسْرَارَ الشَّيْطَانِ الْعَمِيقَةَ، فَلَنْ أُحَمِّلَكُمْ أَيَّ عِبْءٍ جَدِيدٍ.

25 than to hold fast to what you have until I come.

25 فَقَطْ تَمَسَّكُوا بِمَا لَدَيْكُمْ إِلَى أَنْ أَجِيءَ.

26 And to the one who overcomes and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations.

26 كُلُّ مَنْ يَنْتَصِرُ، وَيَسْتَمِرُّ حَتَّى النِّهَايَةِ فِي فِعْلِ مَا يُرْضِينِي، فَسَوْفَ أُعْطِيهِ سُلْطَاناً عَلَى الأُمَمِ،

27 He will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery—just as I have received authority from My Father.

27 فَيَحْكُمُهُمْ بِعَصاً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، مِثْلَمَا أَخَذْتُ أَنَا مِنْ أَبِي سُلْطَاناً أَحْكُمُهُمْ بِهِ، فَيَتَحَطَّمُونَ كَمَا تَتَحَطَّمُ أَوَانِي الْخَزَفِ،

28 And I will give him the morning star.

28 وَأَمْنَحُهُ كَوْكَبَ الصُّبْحِ!

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

29 مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنٌ فَلْيَسْمَعْ مَا يَقُولُهُ الرُّوحُ لِلْكَنَائِسِ!
