1 Και προς τον αγγελον της εν Σαρδεσιν εκκλησιας γραψον? Ταυτα λεγει ο εχων τα επτα πνευματα του Θεου και τους επτα αστερας. Εξευρω τα εργα σου, οτι το ονομα εχεις οτι ζης και εισαι νεκρος.1 “And to the Angel of the Church of Sardis write: Thus says he who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have a name which is alive, but you are dead.
2 Γινου αγρυπνος και στηριξον τα λοιπα, τα οποια μελλουσι να αποθανωσι? διοτι δεν ευρηκα τα εργα σου τελεια ενωπιον του Θεου.2 Be vigilant, and confirm the things that remain, lest they soon die out. For I do not find your works to be full in the sight of my God.
3 Ενθυμου λοιπον πως ελαβες και ηκουσας, και φυλαττε αυτα και μετανοησον. Εαν λοιπον δεν αγρυπνησης, θελω ελθει επι σε ως κλεπτης, και δεν θελεις γνωρισει ποιαν ωραν θελω ελθει επι σε.3 Therefore, keep in mind the way that you have received and heard, and then observe it and repent. But if you will not be vigilant, I will come to you like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.
4 Εχεις ολιγα ονοματα και εν Σαρδεσι, τα οποια δεν εμολυναν τα ιματια αυτων, και θελουσι περιπατησει μετ' εμου με λευκα, διοτι ειναι αξιοι.4 But you have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments. And these shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
5 Ο νικων, ουτος θελει ενδυθη ιματια λευκα, και δεν θελω εξαλειψει το ονομα αυτου εκ του βιβλιου της ζωης, και θελω ομολογησει το ονομα αυτου ενωπιον του Πατρος μου και ενωπιον των αγγελων αυτου.5 Whoever prevails, so shall he be clothed in white vestments. And I will not delete his name from the Book of Life. And I will confess his name in the presence of my Father and in the presence of his Angels.
6 Οστις εχει ωτιον, ας ακουση τι λεγει το Πνευμα προς τας εκκλησιας.6 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
7 Και προς τον αγγελον της εν Φιλαδελφεια εκκλησιας γραψον? Ταυτα λεγει ο αγιος, ο αληθινος, ο εχων το κλειδιον του Δαβιδ, οστις ανοιγει και ουδεις κλειει, και κλειει και ουδεις ανοιγει?7 And to the Angel of the Church of Philadelphia write: Thus says the Holy One, the True One, he who holds the key of David. He opens and no one closes. He closes and no one opens.
8 Εξευρω τα εργα σου? ιδου, εθεσα ενωπιον σου θυραν ανεωγμενην, και ουδεις δυναται να κλειση αυτην? διοτι εχεις μικραν δυναμιν και εφυλαξας τον λογον μου και δεν ηρνηθης το ονομα μου.8 I know your works. Behold, I have set an open door before you, which no one is able to close. For you have little power, and you have observed my word, and you have not denied my name.
9 Ιδου, θελω καμει τους εκ της συναγωγης του Σατανα, οιτινες λεγουσιν εαυτους οτι ειναι Ιουδαιοι, και δεν ειναι, αλλα ψευδονται ιδου, θελω καμει αυτους να ελθωσι και να προσκυνησωσιν ενωπιον των ποδων σου και να γνωρισωσιν οτι εγω σε ηγαπησα.9 Behold, I will take from the synagogue of Satan those who declare themselves to be Jews and are not, for they are lying. Behold, I will cause them to approach and to reverence before your feet. And they shall know that I have loved you.
10 Επειδη εφυλαξας τον λογον της υπομονης μου, και εγω θελω σε φυλαξει εκ της ωρας του πειρασμου, οστις μελλει να ελθη επι της οικουμενης ολης, δια να δοκιμαση τους κατοικουντας επι της γης.10 Since you have kept the word of my patient endurance, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall overcome the whole world in order to test those living upon the earth.
11 Ιδου, ερχομαι ταχεως? κρατει εκεινο το οποιον εχεις, δια να μη λαβη μηδεις τον στεφανον σου.11 Behold, I am approaching quickly. Hold on to what you have, so that no one may take your crown.
12 Οστις νικα, θελω καμει αυτον στυλον εν τω ναω του Θεου μου, και δεν θελει εξελθει πλεον εξω, και θελω γραψει επ' αυτον το ονομα του Θεου μου και το ονομα της πολεως του Θεου μου, της νεας Ιερουσαλημ, ητις καταβαινει εκ του ουρανου απο του Θεου μου, και το ονομα μου το νεον.12 Whoever prevails, I will set him as a column in the temple of my God, and he shall not depart from it anymore. And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that descends out of heaven from my God, and my new name.
13 Οστις εχει ωτιον, ας ακουση τι λεγει το Πνευμα προς τας εκκλησιας.13 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
14 Και προς τον αγγελον της εκκλησιας των Λαοδικεων γραψον? Ταυτα λεγει ο Αμην, ο μαρτυς ο πιστος και αληθινος, η αρχη της κτισεως του Θεου.14 And to the Angel of the Church of Laodicea write: Thus says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, who is the Beginning of the creation of God:
15 Εξευρω τα εργα σου, οτι ουτε ψυχρος εισαι ουτε ζεστος? ειθε να ησο ψυχρος η ζεστος?15 I know your works: that you are neither cold, nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot.
16 ουτως, επειδη εισαι χλιαρος και ουτε ψυχρος ουτε ζεστος, μελλω να σε εξεμεσω εκ του στοματος μου.16 But because you are lukewarm and are neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth.
17 Διοτι λεγεις οτι πλουσιος ειμαι και επλουτησα και δεν εχω χρειαν ουδενος, και δεν εξευρεις οτι συ εισαι ο ταλαιπωρος και ελεεινος και πτωχος και τυφλος και γυμνος?17 For you declare, ‘I am wealthy, and I have been enriched further, and I have need of nothing.’ And you do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
18 συμβουλευω σε να αγορασης παρ' εμου χρυσιον δεδοκιμασμενον εκ πυρος δια να πλουτησης, και ιματια λευκα δια να ενδυθης και να μη φανερωθη η αισχυνη της γυμνοτητος σου, και χρισον τους οφθαλμους σου με κολλουριον δια να βλεπης.18 I urge you to buy from me gold, tested by fire, so that you may be enriched and may be clothed in white vestments, and so that the shame of your nakedness may disappear. And anoint your eyes with an eye salve, so that you may see.
19 Εγω οσους αγαπω, ελεγχω και παιδευω? γενου λοιπον ζηλωτης και μετανοησον.19 Those whom I love, I rebuke and chastise. Therefore, be zealous and do penance.
20 Ιδου, ισταμαι εις την θυραν και κρουω? εαν τις ακουση της φωνης μου και ανοιξη την θυραν, θελω εισελθει προς αυτον και θελω δειπνησει μετ' αυτου και αυτος μετ' εμου.20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone will hear my voice and will open the door to me, I will enter to him, and I will dine with him, and he with me.
21 Οστις νικα, θελω δωσει εις αυτον να καθηση μετ' εμου εν τω θρονω μου, καθως και εγω ενικησα και εκαθησα μετα του Πατρος μου εν τω θρονω αυτου.21 Whoever prevails, I will grant to him to sit with me on my throne, just as I also have overcome and have sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 Οστις εχει ωτιον, ας ακουση τι λεγει το Πνευμα προς τας εκκλησιας.22 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.”
