1「你要寫信給教會的使者,說:『那右手拿著七星、在七個金燈臺中間行走的,說:“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.

2我知道你的行為、、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 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.

3你也能忍耐,曾為我的名勞苦,並不乏倦。Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name.

4然而有一件事我要責備你,就是你把起初的愛心離棄了。But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love.

5所以,應當回想你是從哪裡墜落的,並要悔改,行起初所行的事。你若不悔改,我就臨到你那裡,把你的燈臺從原處挪去。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.

6然而你還有一件可取的事,就是你恨惡人的行為,這也是我所恨惡的。But you have this to your credit: You hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

7聖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 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.

8「你要寫信給教會的使者,說:『那首先的、末後的、死過又活的,說: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.

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毀謗話,其實他們不是猶太人,乃是撒但一會的人。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.

10你將要受的苦你不用怕。魔鬼要把你們中間幾個人下在監裡,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。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.

11聖靈向眾教會所說的話,凡有耳的,就應當聽!得勝的,必不受的害。』」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.

12「你要寫信給別迦摩教會的使者,說:『那有兩刃利劍的,說:To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of the One who holds the sharp, double-edged sword.

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 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.

14然而,有幾件事我要責備你:因為在你那裡有人服從了的教訓;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,行姦淫的事。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.

15你那裡也有人照樣服從了尼哥拉一黨人的教訓。In the same way, some of you also hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.

16所以,你當悔改;若不悔改,我就快臨到你那裡,用我口中的劍攻擊他們。Therefore repent! Otherwise I will come to you shortly and wage war against them with the sword of My mouth.

17聖靈向眾教會所說的話,凡有耳的,就應當聽!得勝的,我必將那隱藏的賜給他,並賜他一塊,石上寫著新名;除了那領受的以外,沒有人能認識。』」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.

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: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.

19我知道你的行為、愛心、信心、勤勞、忍耐,又知道你末後所行的善事,比起初所行的更多。I know your deeds—your love, your faith, your service, your perseverance—and your latest deeds are greater than your first.

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教導我的僕人,引誘他們行姦淫,吃祭偶像之物。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.

21我曾給她悔改的機會,她卻不肯悔改她的淫行。Even though I have given her time to repent of her immorality, she is unwilling.

22看哪,我要叫她病臥在床。那些與她行淫的人,若不悔改所行的,我也要叫他們同受大患難。Behold, I will cast her onto a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer great tribulation unless they repent of her deeds.

23我又要殺死她的黨類(原文是兒女),叫眾教會知道,我是那察看人的,並要照你們的行為報應你們各人。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.

24至於你們推雅推喇其餘的人,就是一切不從那教訓、不曉得他們素常所說撒但的人,我告訴你們,我不將別的擔子放在你們身上。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

25但你們已經有的,總要持守,直等到我來。than to hold fast to what you have until I come.

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

27他必用鐵杖(轄管:原文是牧)他們,將他們如同的瓦器打得粉碎,像我從我父領受的權柄一樣。He will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery—just as I have received authority from My Father.

28我又要把賜給他。And I will give him the morning star.

29聖靈向眾教會所說的話,凡有耳的,就應當聽!』」He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
