Revelation 2

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: 'The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands.	1 אֶל־מַלְאַךְ קְהַל אֶפְסוֹס כְּתֹב כֹּה אָמַר הָאֹחֵז בִּימִינוֹ שִׁבְעַת הַכּוֹכָבִים הַמִּתְהַלֵּךְ בְּתוֹךְ שֶׁבַע מְנֹרוֹת הַזָּהָב
2 "'I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear evil men but have tested those who call themselves apostles but are not, and found them to be false;	2 יָדַעְתִּי אֶת־מַעֲשֶׂיךָ וְאֶת־עֲמָלְךָ וְאֶת־סָבְלֶךָ וְכִי לֹא־תוּכַל שְׂאֵת אֶת־הָרְשָׁעִים וַתְּנַסֶּה אֶת־הָאֹמְרִים שְׁלִיחִים אֲנַחְנוּ וְאֵינָם וַתִּמְצָאֵם כֹּזְבִים
3 I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary.	3 וְאַתָּה נָשָׂאתָ הַרְבֵּה וְיֶשׁ־לְךָ סַבְלָנוּת וּלְמַעַן שְׁמִי לֹא יָעָפְתָּ
4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.	4 אַךְ יֶשׁ־לִי עָלֶיךָ כִּי עָזַבְתָּ אֶת־אַהֲבָתְךָ הָרִאשׁוֹנָה
5 Remember then from what you have fallen, repent and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.	5 זְכֹר אֵפוֹא אֵי־מִזֶּה נָפַלְתָּ וְשׁוּבָה וַעֲשֵׂה מַעֲשֶׂיךָ הָרִאשׁוֹנִים וְאִם־לֹא הִנְנִי בָא עָלֶיךָ מַהֵר וְנָסַחְתִּי מְנוֹרָתְךָ מִמְּקוֹמָהּ אִם־לֹא תָשׁוּב
6 Yet this you have, you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.	6 אֲבָל זֹאת הִיא לָךְ כִּי תִשְׂנָא אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂי הַנִּיקְלָסִיִּים אֲשֶׁר שְׂנֵאתִים גַּם־אָנִי
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.'	7 מִי אֲשֶׁר־אֹזֶן לוֹ יִשְׁמַע אֵת אֲשֶׁר הָרוּחַ אֹמֵר לַקְּהִלּוֹת הַמְנַצֵּחַ אֶתֶּן־לוֹ לֶאֱכֹל מֵעֵץ הַחַיִּים אֲשֶׁר בְּתוֹךְ גַּן־עֵדֶן לֵאלֹהִים
8 "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: 'The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life.	8 וְאֶל־מַלְאַךְ קְהַל זְמִירְנָא כְּתֹב כֹּה אָמַר הָרִאשׁוֹן וְהָאַחֲרוֹן אֲשֶׁר־מֵת וַיֶּחִי
9 "'I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.	9 יָדַעְתִּי אֶת־מַעֲשֶׂיךָ וְאֶת־צָרָתְךָ וְאֶת רֵישְׁךָ וְאוּלָם עָשִׁיר אָתָּה וְאֶת־גִּדּוּף הָאֹמְרִים יְהוּדִים אֲנַחְנוּ וְאֵינָם כִּי אִם־כְּנֵסִיַּת הַשָּׂטָן
10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.	10 אַל־תִּירָא אֶת־אֲשֶׁר עָלֶיךָ לִסְבֹּל הִנֵּה עָתִיד הַמַּלְשִׁין לְהַשְׁלִיךְ מִכֶּם לְבֵית הַמִּשְׁמָר לְמַעַן תְּנֻסּוּ וִהְיִיתֶם בַּצָּרָה עֲשֶׂרֶת יָמִים הֱיֵה נֶאֱמָן עַד־מָוֶת וְאֶתְּנָה לְךָ עֲטֶרֶת הַחַיִּים
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who conquers shall not be hurt by the second death.'	11 מִי אֲשֶׁר־אֹזֶן לוֹ יִשְׁמַע אֵת אֲשֶׁר הָרוּחַ אֹמֵר לַקְּהִלּוֹת הַמְנַצֵּחַ לֹא יִנָּזֵק בַּמָּוֶת הַשֵּׁנִי
12 "And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: 'The words of him who has the sharp two-edged sword.	12 וְאֶל־מַלְאַךְ קְהַל פַּרְגְּמוֹס כְּתֹב כֹּה אָמַר אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ חֶרֶב פִּיפִיּוֹת הַחַדָּה
13 "'I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is; you hold fast my name and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.	13 יָדַעְתִּי אֶת־מַעֲשֶׂיךָ וְאֶת־מְקוֹם שִׁבְתְּךָ אֲשֶׁר־שָׁם כִּסֵּא הַשָּׂטָן וַתִּדְבַּק בִּשְׁמִי וְלֹא שִׁקַּרְתָּ בֶּאֱמוּנָתִי גַּם־בִּימֵי אַנְטִיפַס עֵדִי הַנֶּאֱמָן אֲשֶׁר נֶהֱרַג אֶצְלְכֶם בִּמְקוֹם מוֹשַׁב הַשָּׂטָן
14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice immorality.	14 אַךְ־מְעַט יֶשׁ־לִי עָלֶיךָ כִּי־שָׁם עִמְּךָ אֲנָשִׁים דְּבֵקִים בְּתוֹרַת בִּלְעָם אֲשֶׁר הוֹרָה אֶת־בָּלָק לָתֵת מִכְשׁוֹל לִפְנֵי בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֶאֱכֹל מִזִּבְחֵי אֱלִילִים וְלִזְנוֹת
15 So you also have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans.	15 כֵּן נִמְצְאוּ גַּם־בְּךָ אֲנָשִׁים דְּבֵקִים בְּתוֹרַת הַנִּיקְלָסִיִּים אֲשֶׁר שָׂנֵאתִי
16 Repent then. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth.	16 שׁוּבָה וְאִם־לֹא כִּי עַתָּה אָבוֹא עָלֶיךָ מְהֵרָה וְנִלְחַמְתִּי בָם בְּחֶרֶב פִּי
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone which no one knows except him who receives it.'	17 מִי אֲשֶׁר־אֹזֶן לוֹ יִשְׁמַע אֵת אֲשֶׁר הָרוּחַ אֹמֵר לַקְּהִלּוֹת הַמְנַצֵּחַ אַאֲכִילֶנּוּ מִן־הַמָּן הַגָּנוּז וְנָתַתִּי לוֹ אֶבֶן לְבָנָה וְעַל־הָאֶבֶן מְפֻתָּח שֵׁם חָדָשׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא יֵדָעֶנּוּ אִישׁ זוּלָתִי הַמְקַבֵּל
18 "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: 'The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.	18 וְאֶל־מַלְאַךְ קְהַל תִּיאֲטִירָא כְּתֹב כֹּה אָמַר בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר עֵינָיו כְּלַבַּת־אֵשׁ וּמַרְגְּלֹתָיו כְּעֵין־נְחשֶׁת קָלָל
19 "'I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first.	19 יָדַעְתִּי אֶת־מַעֲשֶׂיךָ וְאַהֲבָתְךָ וֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ וַעֲבוֹדָתְךָ וְסָבְלֶךָ וְכִי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ הָאַחֲרוֹנִים רַבִּים הֵם מִן־הָרִאשׁוֹנִים
20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and beguiling my servants to practice immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.	20 אַךְ־מְעַט יֶשׁ־לִי עָלֶיךָ כִּי תַנִּיחַ אֶת־הָאִשָּׁה אִיזֶבֶל הָאֹמֶרֶת כִּי־הִיא נְבִיאָה לְלַמֵּד וּלְהַתְעוֹת אֶת־עֲבָדַי לִזְנוֹת וְלֶאֱכֹל זִבְחֵי אֱלִילִים
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her immorality.	21 וָאֶתֶּן־לָהּ זְמָן לָשׁוּב וְהִיא מֵאֲנָה לָשׁוּב מִתַּזְנוּתֶיהָ
22 Behold, I will throw her on a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her doings;	22 הִנְנִי מַפִּיל אֹתָהּ עַל־מִטָּה וְאֶת־הַמְנָאֲפִים אִתָּהּ בְּצָרָה גְדוֹלָה אִם־לֹא יָשׁוּבוּ מִמַּעֲשֵׂיהֶם
23 and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches shall know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you as your works deserve.	23 וְהָרַגְתִּי בַמָּוֶת אֶת־בָּנֶיהָ וְיָדְעוּ כָל־הַקְּהִלּוֹת כִּי אֲנִי חֹקֵר כְּלָיוֹת וָלֵב וְנָתַתִּי לָכֶם לְכָל־אִישׁ כִּפְרִי מַעֲלָלָיו
24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay upon you any other burden;	24 אֲבָל אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם וְלִשְׁאָר הַנִּמְצָאִים בְּתִיאֲטִירָא כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־אֵין לָהֶם הַלֶּקַח הַהוּא וְלֹא יָדְעוּ אֶת־עֲמֻקּוֹת הַשָּׂטָן כַּאֲשֶׁר הֵם מִתְהַלְלִים לֹא־אָשִׂים עֲלֵיכֶם מַשָּׂא אַחֵר
25 only hold fast what you have, until I come.	25 אֶפֶס מַה־שֶּׁיֵּשׁ לָכֶם הַחֲזִיקוּ בוֹ עַד כִּי אָבוֹא
26 He who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, I will give him power over the nations,	26 וְהַמְנַצֵּחַ וְשֹׁמֵר אֶת־מַעֲשַׂי עַד־עֵת קֵץ אֶתֶּן־לוֹ שָׁלְטָן עַל־הַגּוֹיִם
27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received power from my Father;	27 וְרָעָם בְּשֵׁבֶט בַּרְזֶל כִּכְלִי יוֹצֵר יְנֻפָּצוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר קִבַּלְתִּי גַם־אָנֹכִי מֵאֵת אָבִי
28 and I will give him the morning star.	28 וְנָתַתִּי לוֹ כּוֹכַב הַשָּׁחַר
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'	29 מִי אֲשֶׁר־אֹזֶן לוֹ יִשְׁמַע אֵת אֲשֶׁר הָרוּחַ אֹמֵר לַקְּהִלּוֹת
