Ang Sulat para sa Efeso

“Isulat mo ini para sa anghel nga nagabantay sa iglesya sa Efeso:

“Amo ini ang ginasiling sang nagauyat sang pito ka bituon sa iya tuo nga kamot kag nagalakat sa tunga sang pito ka suga nga bulawan: Nahibaluan ko ang inyo mga ginahimo pati ang inyo mga pagpangabudlay kag pag-antos. Nahibaluan ko man nga indi ninyo maagwanta ang malain nga mga tawo. Gin-usisa ninyo ang mga nagapakaapostoles, kag nasapwan ninyo nga mga butigon gali sila. Gin-antos ninyo ang mga kabudlayan tungod sa inyo pagtuo sa akon, kag wala gid kamo nagluya. Pero ang akon nasawayan sa inyo amo ini: ang inyo paghigugma sa akon subong indi na pareho sang una. Hunahunaa bala ninyo kon daw ano ang inyo paglas-ay. Maghinulsol kamo kag himua ninyo liwat ang inyo mga ginahimo sang una. Kon indi, kadtuan ko kamo kag kuhaon ko ang inyo suga. Pero amo ini ang maayo sa inyo: ginakaugtan ninyo ang mga ginahimo sang mga Nicolaita[a] nga amo man ang akon ginakaugtan.

“Kamo nga nagapamati, dapat intiendihon gid ninyo ang ginasiling sang Espiritu Santo sa mga iglesya.

“Ang mga mandadaog tugutan ko nga magkaon sang bunga sang kahoy nga nagahatag sang kabuhi, kag ina nga kahoy didto sa Paraiso sang Dios.

Ang Sulat para sa Smirna

“Isulat mo ini para sa anghel nga nagabantay sa iglesya sa Smirna:

“Amo ini ang ginasiling niya nga amo ang ginsuguran kag ang katapusan sang tanan, nga napatay pero nabuhi liwat: Nahibaluan ko ang inyo mga pag-antos. Nahibaluan ko man nga pobre kamo, pero sa langitnon nga mga butang manggaranon kamo. Nahibaluan ko man nga ginapasipalahan kamo sang mga tawo nga nagasiling nga sila mga Judio, pero ang matuod mga sakop sila ni Satanas. 10 Indi kamo magkahadlok sa mga butang nga madali na lang ninyo pagaantuson. Tandaan ninyo: ang iban sa inyo ipapriso ni Satanas agod tilawan kamo. Ang inyo mga pag-antos abuton sing mga napulo ka adlaw. Pero magpakatutom kamo bisan nagakahulugan ini sang inyo kamatayon, kag hatagan ko kamo sang kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan bilang padya.

11 “Kamo nga nagapamati, dapat intiendihon gid ninyo ang ginasiling sang Espiritu Santo sa mga iglesya.

“Ang mga mandadaog indi pagsilutan sang ikaduha nga kamatayon.

Ang Sulat para sa Pergamum

12 “Isulat mo ini para sa anghel nga nagabantay sa iglesya sa Pergamum:

“Amo ini ang ginasiling sang nagauyat sang matalom nga espada nga duha ang sulab: 13 Nahibaluan ko nga bisan nagaestar kamo sa lugar nga kontrolado ni Satanas nagapadayon gihapon kamo sa pagsunod sa akon. Kay wala gid kamo nagtalikod sa inyo pagtuo sa akon, bisan pa sadtong tiyempo nga si Antipas, nga akon masaligan nga manugpamatuod parte sa akon, ginpatay dira sa inyo lugar nga sa diin nagaestar si Satanas. 14 Pero ari ang pila ka butang nga akon nasawayan sa inyo: may dira sa inyo nga nagasunod sa mga pagpanudlo ni Balaam. Si Balaam nga ini nagtudlo kay Balak kon paano ang pagsulay sa mga Israelinhon agod magpakasala sila paagi sa pagkaon sang mga kalan-on nga ginhalad sa mga dios-dios kag paagi sa paghimo sang imoral nga pagpakigrelasyon. 15 Kag may mga tawo man dira sa inyo nga nagasunod sa mga pagpanudlo sang mga Nicolaita. 16 Gani maghinulsol kamo sa inyo mga sala! Kay kon indi, kadtuan ko kamo dira sa labing madali, kag awayon ko ina nga mga tawo nga nagasunod sa mga sayop nga pagpanudlo paagi sa espada nga nagaguwa sa akon baba.

17 “Kamo nga nagapamati, dapat intiendihon gid ninyo ang ginasiling sang Espiritu Santo sa mga iglesya.

“Ang mga mandadaog hatagan ko sang pagkaon nga akon ginatigana didto sa langit. Ang kada isa sa ila hatagan ko man sang puti nga bato, kag sa kada bato may nasulat nga bag-o nga ngalan nga wala sing may makahibalo luwas lang sa magabaton sina.

Ang Sulat para sa Tiatira

18 “Isulat mo ini para sa anghel nga nagabantay sa iglesya sa Tiatira:

“Amo ini ang ginasiling sang Anak sang Dios, nga ang iya mga mata nagabaga nga daw sa kalayo, kag ang iya mga tiil nagaidlak pareho sang ginpahining nga saway: 19 Nahibaluan ko ang inyo mga ginahimo. Nahibaluan ko nga mahigugmaon kamo, matutom, mapisan magserbisyo kag mainantuson. Nahibaluan ko man nga mas madamo pa gid ang inyo ginahimo subong sang sa una. 20 Pero ang akon nasawayan sa inyo amo ini: ginapabay-an lang ninyo ang babayi nga si Jezebel nga nagapakapropeta. Ginapabay-an lang ninyo siya nga magpanudlo kag magpatalang sa akon mga alagad. Nagasiling siya nga indi malain ang maghimo sang imoral nga pagpakigrelasyon kag magkaon sang mga pagkaon nga ginhalad sa mga dios-dios. 21 Ginhatagan ko siya sing tiyempo nga maghinulsol sa iya imoralidad pero indi siya maghinulsol. 22 Gani pamasakiton ko siya hasta indi na siya makahalin sa katre, kag ang mga tawo nga nagapakighilawas sa iya silutan ko sing tama gid, kon indi sila maghinulsol sa ila ginahimo nga malain. 23 Pamatyon ko ang iya mga sumulunod, agod mahibaluan sang tanan nga iglesya nga nahibaluan ko ang mga hunahuna kag mga handom sang mga tawo. Balusan ko ang kada isa sa inyo suno sa inyo mga hinimuan.

24 “Pero ang iban sa inyo dira sa Tiatira wala gid nagsunod sa mga pagpanudlo ni Jezebel. Wala ninyo natun-i ang ila ginasiling nga ‘madalom nga mga pagpanudlo ni Satanas.’ Gani wala na ako sing inugdugang pa nga mga pagsulundan nga dapat ninyo tumanon. 25 Basta padayunon lang ninyo nga himuon ang maayo nga mga butang nga inyo ginahimo subong hasta sa akon pag-abot. 26-27 Kay ang mga mandadaog kag nagapadayon sa pagtuman sang akon kabubut-on hasta sa katapusan hatagan ko sing awtoridad nga pareho sang akon nabaton halin sa akon Amay. Dumalahan nila ang mga nasyon, kag wala gid sing may makakontra sa ila pagdumala. Ang mga nasyon mangin pareho lang sa kolon nga ila pagadugmukon.[b] 28 Ihatag ko man sa ila ang kabugwason.[c]

29 “Kamo nga nagapamati, dapat intiendihon gid ninyo ang ginasiling sang Espiritu Santo sa mga iglesya.

To the Church in Ephesus

“To the angel[a] of the church in Ephesus(A) write:

These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand(B) and walks among the seven golden lampstands.(C) I know your deeds,(D) your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested(E) those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.(F) You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name,(G) and have not grown weary.

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.(H) Consider how far you have fallen! Repent(I) and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand(J) from its place. But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans,(K) which I also hate.

Whoever has ears, let them hear(L) what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious,(M) I will give the right to eat from the tree of life,(N) which is in the paradise(O) of God.

To the Church in Smyrna

“To the angel of the church in Smyrna(P) write:

These are the words of him who is the First and the Last,(Q) who died and came to life again.(R) I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich!(S) I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not,(T) but are a synagogue of Satan.(U) 10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you,(V) and you will suffer persecution for ten days.(W) Be faithful,(X) even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.(Y)

11 Whoever has ears, let them hear(Z) what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death.(AA)

To the Church in Pergamum

12 “To the angel of the church in Pergamum(AB) write:

These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword.(AC) 13 I know where you live—where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me,(AD) not even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness,(AE) who was put to death in your city—where Satan lives.(AF)

14 Nevertheless, I have a few things against you:(AG) There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam,(AH) who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that they ate food sacrificed to idols(AI) and committed sexual immorality.(AJ) 15 Likewise, you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.(AK) 16 Repent(AL) therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.(AM)

17 Whoever has ears, let them hear(AN) what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious,(AO) I will give some of the hidden manna.(AP) I will also give that person a white stone with a new name(AQ) written on it, known only to the one who receives it.(AR)

To the Church in Thyatira

18 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira(AS) write:

These are the words of the Son of God,(AT) whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.(AU) 19 I know your deeds,(AV) your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.

20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel,(AW) who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.(AX) 21 I have given her time(AY) to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.(AZ) 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery(BA) with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. 23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds,(BB) and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.(BC)

24 Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets, ‘I will not impose any other burden on you,(BD) 25 except to hold on to what you have(BE) until I come.’(BF)

26 To the one who is victorious(BG) and does my will to the end,(BH) I will give authority over the nations(BI) 27 that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter(BJ) and will dash them to pieces like pottery’[b](BK)—just as I have received authority from my Father. 28 I will also give that one the morning star.(BL) 29 Whoever has ears, let them hear(BM) what the Spirit says to the churches.

  2. Revelation 2:27 Psalm 2:9

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;

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:

And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

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.

But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

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.

And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

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.

10 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.

11 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.

12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

13 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.

14 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.

15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

17 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.

18 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;

19 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.

20 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.

21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

23 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.

24 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.

25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

27 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.

28 And I will give him the morning star.

29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
