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 اُكْتُبْ إِلَى مَلَاكِ كَنِيسَةِ أَفَسُسَ: «هَذَا يَقُولُهُ ٱلْمُمْسِكُ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ ٱلْكَوَاكِبَ فِي يَمِينِهِ، ٱلْمَاشِي فِي وَسَطِ ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْمَنَايِرِ ٱلذَّهَبِيَّةِ:

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 أَنَا عَارِفٌ أَعْمَالَكَ وَتَعَبَكَ وَصَبْرَكَ، وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَحْتَمِلَ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ، وَقَدْ جَرَّبْتَ ٱلْقَائِلِينَ إِنَّهُمْ رُسُلٌ وَلَيْسُوا رُسُلًا، فَوَجَدْتَهُمْ كَاذِبِينَ.

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

3 وَقَدِ ٱحْتَمَلْتَ وَلَكَ صَبْرٌ، وَتَعِبْتَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِي وَلَمْ تَكِلَّ.

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

4 لَكِنْ عِنْدِي عَلَيْكَ: أَنَّكَ تَرَكْتَ مَحَبَّتَكَ ٱلْأُولَى.

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 فَٱذْكُرْ مِنْ أَيْنَ سَقَطْتَ وَتُبْ، وَٱعْمَلِ ٱلْأَعْمَالَ ٱلْأُولَى، وَإِلَّا فَإِنِّي آتِيكَ عَنْ قَرِيبٍ وَأُزَحْزِحُ مَنَارَتَكَ مِنْ مَكَانِهَا، إِنْ لَمْ تَتُبْ.

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

6 وَلَكِنْ عِنْدَكَ هَذَا: أَنَّكَ تُبْغِضُ أَعْمَالَ ٱلنُّقُولَاوِيِّينَ ٱلَّتِي أُبْغِضُهَا أَنَا أَيْضًا.

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 أُذُنٌ فَلْيَسْمَعْ مَا يَقُولُهُ ٱلرُّوحُ لِلْكَنَائِسِ. مَنْ يَغْلِبُ فَسَأُعْطِيهِ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْ شَجَرَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ فِرْدَوْسِ ٱللهِ».

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 وَٱكْتُبْ إِلَى مَلَاكِ كَنِيسَةِ سِمِيرْنَا: «هَذَا يَقُولُهُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَٱلْآخِرُ، ٱلَّذِي كَانَ مَيْتًا فَعَاشَ:

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 أَنَا أَعْرِفُ أَعْمَالَكَ وَضِيْقَتَكَ وَفَقْرَكَ مَعَ أَنَّكَ غَنِيٌّ. وَتَجْدِيفَ ٱلْقَائِلِينَ: إِنَّهُمْ يَهُودٌ وَلَيْسُوا يَهُودًا، بَلْ هُمْ مَجْمَعُ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ.

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 لَا تَخَفِ ٱلْبَتَّةَ مِمَّا أَنْتَ عَتِيدٌ أَنْ تَتَأَلَّمَ بِهِ. هُوَذَا إِبْلِيسُ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يُلْقِيَ بَعْضًا مِنْكُمْ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ لِكَيْ تُجَرَّبُوا، وَيَكُونَ لَكُمْ ضِيْقٌ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ. كُنْ أَمِينًا إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ فَسَأُعْطِيكَ إِكْلِيلَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ.

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 ٱلرُّوحُ لِلْكَنَائِسِ. مَنْ يَغْلِبُ فَلَا يُؤْذِيهِ ٱلْمَوْتُ ٱلثَّانِي».

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 وَٱكْتُبْ إِلَى مَلَاكِ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَرْغَامُسَ: «هَذَا يَقُولُهُ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ ٱلسَّيْفُ ٱلْمَاضِي ذُو ٱلْحَدَّيْنِ:

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 أَنَا عَارِفٌ أَعْمَالَكَ، وَأَيْنَ تَسْكُنُ حَيْثُ كُرْسِيُّ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ، وَأَنْتَ مُتَمَسِّكٌ بِٱسْمِي، وَلَمْ تُنْكِرْ إِيمَانِي حَتَّى فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا كَانَ أَنْتِيبَاسُ شَهِيدِي ٱلْأَمِينُ ٱلَّذِي قُتِلَ عِنْدَكُمْ حَيْثُ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ يَسْكُنُ.

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 وَلَكِنْ عِنْدِي عَلَيْكَ قَلِيلٌ: أَنَّ عِنْدَكَ هُنَاكَ قَوْمًا مُتَمَسِّكِينَ بِتَعْلِيمِ بَلْعَامَ، ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُعَلِّمُ بَالَاقَ أَنْ يُلْقِيَ مَعْثَرَةً أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنْ يَأْكُلُوا مَا ذُبِحَ لِلْأَوْثَانِ، وَيَزْنُوا.

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

15 هَكَذَا عِنْدَكَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا قَوْمٌ مُتَمَسِّكُونَ بِتَعْلِيمِ ٱلنُّقُولَاوِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِي أُبْغِضُهُ.

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

16 فَتُبْ وَإِلَّا فَإِنِّي آتِيكَ سَرِيعًا وَأُحَارِبُهُمْ بِسَيْفِ 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 ٱلرُّوحُ لِلْكَنَائِسِ. مَنْ يَغْلِبُ فَسَأُعْطِيهِ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنَ ٱلْمَنِّ ٱلْمُخْفَى، وَأُعْطِيهِ حَصَاةً بَيْضَاءَ، وَعَلَى ٱلْحَصَاةِ ٱسْمٌ جَدِيدٌ مَكْتُوبٌ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُ ٱلَّذِي يَأْخُذُ».

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 وَٱكْتُبْ إِلَى مَلَاكِ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ثِيَاتِيرَا: «هَذَا يَقُولُهُ ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ، ٱلَّذِي لَهُ عَيْنَانِ كَلَهِيبِ نَارٍ، وَرِجْلَاهُ مِثْلُ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلنَّقِيِّ:

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

19 أَنَا عَارِفٌ أَعْمَالَكَ وَمَحَبَّتَكَ وَخِدْمَتَكَ وَإِيمَانَكَ وَصَبْرَكَ، وَأَنَّ أَعْمَالَكَ ٱلْأَخِيرَةَ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَى.

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 لَكِنْ عِنْدِي عَلَيْكَ قَلِيلٌ: أَنَّكَ تُسَيِّبُ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ إِيزَابَلَ ٱلَّتِي تَقُولُ إِنَّهَا نَبِيَّةٌ، حَتَّى تُعَلِّمَ وَتُغْوِيَ عَبِيدِي أَنْ يَزْنُوا وَيَأْكُلُوا مَا ذُبِحَ لِلْأَوْثَانِ.

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

21 وَأَعْطَيْتُهَا زَمَانًا لِكَيْ تَتُوبَ عَنْ زِنَاهَا وَلَمْ 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 هَا أَنَا أُلْقِيهَا فِي فِرَاشٍ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَزْنُونَ مَعَهَا فِي ضِيقَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، 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 وَأَوْلَادُهَا أَقْتُلُهُمْ بِٱلْمَوْتِ. فَسَتَعْرِفُ جَمِيعُ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْفَاحِصُ ٱلْكُلَى وَٱلْقُلُوبِ، وَسَأُعْطِي 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 وَلَكِنَّنِي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ وَلِلْبَاقِينَ فِي ثِيَاتِيرَا، كُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ هَذَا ٱلتَّعْلِيمُ، وَٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا أَعْمَاقَ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ، كَمَا يَقُولُونَ: إِنِّي لَا أُلْقِي عَلَيْكُمْ ثِقْلًا آخَرَ،

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

25 وَإِنَّمَا ٱلَّذِي عِنْدَكُمْ تَمَسَّكُوا بِهِ 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 وَمَنْ يَغْلِبُ وَيَحْفَظُ أَعْمَالِي إِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ فَسَأُعْطِيهِ سُلْطَانًا عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ،

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

27 فَيَرْعَاهُمْ بِقَضِيبٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، كَمَا تُكْسَرُ آنِيَةٌ مِنْ خَزَفٍ، كَمَا أَخَذْتُ أَنَا أَيْضًا مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي،

28 And I will give him the morning star.

28 وَأُعْطِيهِ كَوْكَبَ ٱلصُّبْحِ.

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

29 مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنٌ فَلْيَسْمَعْ مَا يَقُولُهُ ٱلرُّوحُ لِلْكَنَائِسِ».
