Revelation of John 2
Pismo cerkvi v Efezu
1“Napiši angelu cerkve v Efezu:To je sporočilo od njega, ki hodi sredi sedmerih svečnikov in drži v svoji desnici sedmere zvezde. On ti pravi: 2Vem, koliko dobrega delaš. Videl sem tvoje vztrajno delo in vso tvojo potrpežljivost. Vem, da ne trpiš greha pri svojih članih. Prav tako vem, da si pazljivo opazoval tiste, ki trdijo, da so apostoli, pa niso. Spoznal si, da lažejo. 3Potrpežljivo si trpel zaradi mene in nisi opešal pri tem. 4Vendar pa je nekaj, kar ni tako, kot bi moralo biti: Zapustil si svojo prvo ljubezen. 5Spomni se, s kakšne višine si padel! Skesaj se in spet delaj to, kar si delal v začetku. ▼
▼V izvirniku: Spominjaj se torej od kod si padel in skesaj se in opravljaj prva dela.
Sicer pridem in prestavim tvoj svečnik z njegovega mesta. 6Nekaj pa ti vendar moram šteti v dobro: početje nikolajevcev sovražiš prav tako kot jaz. 7Če imate ušesa, prisluhnite temu, kar Duh govori cerkvam. Vsem, ki zmagajo, bom dal jesti sadove z drevesa življenja, ki je v Božjem raju.” Pismo cerkvi v Smirni
8“Angelu cerkve v Smirni piši:To sporočilo prihaja od njega, ki je Prvi in Zadnji, ki je bil mrtev, pa spet živi. 9Poznam vse tvoje trpljenje za Gospoda in vem, v kakšnem siromaštvu živiš; (imaš pa nebeško bogastvo!) ▼
▼Primer: Luka 6,20; 2. Korinčanom 6,10; Jakob 2,5.
Videl sem tudi, kako hudobno te obrekujejo ljudje, ki trdijo, da so Judje, vendar niso, ampak so satanova sinagoga. 10Ne boj se tega, kar boš moral pretrpeti. Hudič bo namreč nekatere izmed vas vrgel v ječo, da bi vas preizkusil. Deset dni boste trpeli preganjanje. Ostani mi zvest, tudi ko boš gledal smrti v oči in podaril ti bom venec življenja – slavno prihodnost brez konca. 11Če imate ušesa, prisluhnite temu, kar Duh govori cerkvam. Kdor namreč premaga, mu druga, večna smrt ne bo mogla škodovati.” Pismo cerkvi v Pergamonu
12“Piši angelu v Pergamonu: To sporočilo prihaja od njega, ki ima ostri meč z dvojnim rezilom. 13Vem, da prebivaš v mestu, kjer ima satan svoj prestol. Kljub temu pa si mi ostal zvest in se me nisi odrekel niti tedaj, ko je v tej satanovi trdnjavi umrl moj zvesti pričevalec Antipa kot mučenik. 14Kljub temu pa je nekaj, kar ti moram očitati. V svoji sredi trpiš ljudi, ki se držijo Bileamovega nauka. Bileam je namreč poučil Balaka, kako naj pahne izraelski narod v pogubo. Zavedel jih je, da so jedli malikom žrtvovano hrano ter da so živeli razvratno. ▼▼V izvirniku: da nečistujejo. Primer: 4. Mojzesova 31,16; 25,1-2.
15Poleg tega so med vami ljudje, ki hodijo po stopinjah nikolajevcev. 16Zato se skesaj. Sicer pridem nepričakovano k tebi ter se bom boril s temi ljudmi z mečem svojih ust. 17Če imate ušesa, prisluhnite temu, kar Duh govori cerkvam. Vsi, ki bodo premagali, bodo jedli skrito mano – hrano iz nebes. Jaz pa bom dal vsakemu bel kamen, v katerega bom vklesal novo ime, ki ga ne ve nihče drug razen tistega, ki ga je dobil.” ▼▼Primer: 2. Mojzesova 16,4; 4. Mojzesova 11.
Pismo cerkvi v Tiatiri
18“Piši angelu cerkve v Tiatiri:To sporočilo prihaja od Božjega Sina, čigar oči so kot prodorni plameni ognja in noge kot bleščeča medenina. 19Vidim vse, kar delaš. Vem, s kakšno ljubeznijo mi služiš in kako zvesto se držiš vere. Vem, kako se v službi za druge žrtvuješ in poznam tvojo potrpežljivost. Zdaj pa se sploh trudiš kot nikoli poprej. 20Kljub temu pa ti moram nekaj očitati: Trpiš tisto ženo, Izabelo, ki se izdaja za prerokinjo. S svojim naukom zavaja moje služabnike v razvratno življenje ▼
▼V izvirniku: da nečistujejo
ter jih spodbuja, da brez premišljanja jedo malikom žrtvovano hrano. 21Dovolj časa je imela, da bi se lahko skesala zaradi razvratnega življenja, vendar tega noče storiti. 22Zato se bo na postelji trpljenja pokesala za svoja hudobna dejanja. Pa tudi vsi, ki so skupaj z njo grešili, bodo trpeli, če se ne skesajo zaradi svojega grešnega življenja. 23Njene otroke bom izročil v smrt. Tedaj bodo vse cerkve spoznale, da sem jaz tisti, ki preiskujem globine v človeških srcih in mislih. Vsak bo prejel plačilo, ki ga zasluži. 24Vam ostalim v Tiatiri, ki niste šli za krivim naukom (za temi ‘globinami resnice’, kot jih imenujejo – v resnici pa so to satanove globine) ne nalagam nobenih dodatnih bremen. 25Čvrsto držite to, kar imate, dokler ne pridem. 26Vsakemu, ki premaga hudo in ki bo delal, kar je dobro do mojega prihoda, dam oblast nad narodi na zemlji. 27Z železno roko ▼▼V izvirniku: z železno palico
jim bo vladal in jih strl kot lončene posode, ki se razletijo v tisoč koščkov. 28Kakor je Oče meni dal moč in oblast, bom tudi jaz dal moč vsakemu, kdor ostane trden v veri. Znak te moči bo jutranja zvezda, ki mu jo podarim! ▼▼Slika Kristusa, ki se bo vrnil.
29Če imate ušesa, prisluhnite temu, kar Duh govori cerkvam.”
