Opinberun Jóhannesar 2
Icelandic Bible
2 Engli safnaðarins í Efesus skalt þú rita: Þetta segir sá sem heldur á stjörnunum sjö í hægri hendi sér, sá sem gengur á milli gullstikanna sjö:
2 Ég þekki verkin þín og erfiðið og þolgæði þitt og veit, að eigi getur þú sætt þig við vonda menn. Þú hefur reynt þá, sem segja sjálfa sig vera postula, en eru það ekki, og þú hefur komist að því, að þeir eru lygarar.
3 Þú ert þolgóður og byrðar hefur þú borið fyrir sakir nafns míns og ekki þreytst.
4 En það hef ég á móti þér, að þú hefur afrækt þinn fyrri kærleika.
5 Minnst þú því, úr hvaða hæð þú hefur hrapað, og gjör iðrun og breyttu eins og fyrrum. Að öðrum kosti kem ég til þín og færi ljósastiku þína úr stað, ef þú gjörir ekki iðrun.
6 En það mátt þú eiga, að þú hatar verk Nikólaítanna, sem ég sjálfur hata.
7 Hver sem eyra hefur, hann heyri hvað andinn segir söfnuðunum. Þeim er sigrar, honum mun ég gefa að eta af lífsins tré, sem er í Paradís Guðs.
8 Og engli safnaðarins í Smýrnu skalt þú rita: Þetta segir sá fyrsti og síðasti, sá sem dó og varð aftur lifandi:
9 Ég þekki þrengingu þína og fátækt _ en þú ert samt auðugur. Ég veit hvernig þú ert hrakyrtur af þeim, sem segja sjálfa sig vera Gyðinga, en eru það ekki, heldur samkunda Satans.
10 Kvíð þú ekki því, sem þú átt að líða. Sjá, djöfullinn mun varpa nokkrum yðar í fangelsi, til þess að yðar verði freistað, og þér munuð þrenging hafa í tíu daga. Vertu trúr allt til dauða, og ég mun gefa þér kórónu lífsins.
11 Hver sem eyra hefur, hann heyri, hvað andinn segir söfnuðunum. Þeim er sigrar mun sá annar dauði ekki granda.
12 Og engli safnaðarins í Pergamos skalt þú rita: Þetta segir sá sem hefur sverðið tvíeggjaða og bitra:
13 Ég veit hvar þú býrð, þar sem hásæti Satans er. Þú heldur stöðugt við nafn mitt og afneitar ekki trúnni á mig, jafnvel ekki á dögum Antípasar, míns trúa vottar, sem deyddur var hjá yður, þar sem Satan býr.
14 En þó hef ég nokkuð á móti þér. Þú hefur hjá þér menn, sem halda fast við kenningu Bíleams, þess er kenndi Balak að tæla Ísraelsmenn, svo að þeir neyttu kjöts, sem helgað var skurðgoðum, og drýgðu hór.
15 Þannig hefur þú líka hjá þér menn, sem halda fast við kenningu Nikólaíta.
16 Gjör því iðrun! Að öðrum kosti kem ég skjótt til þín og mun berjast við þá með sverði munns míns.
17 Hver sem eyra hefur, hann heyri hvað andinn segir söfnuðunum. Þeim er sigrar mun ég gefa af hinu hulda "manna", og ég mun gefa honum hvítan stein, og á steininn ritað nýtt nafn, sem enginn þekkir nema sá, er við tekur.
18 Og engli safnaðarins í Þýatíru skalt þú rita: Þetta segir sonur Guðs, sem augun hefur eins og eldsloga og fætur hans eru líkir glómálmi:
19 Ég þekki verkin þín og kærleikann, trúna, þjónustuna og þolgæði þitt og veit, að verk þín hin síðari eru meiri en hin fyrri.
20 En það hef ég á móti þér, að þú líður Jessabel, konuna, sem segir sjálfa sig vera spákonu og kennir þjónum mínum og afvegaleiðir þá til að drýgja hór og eta kjöt helgað skurðgoðum.
21 Ég hef gefið henni frest til þess að hún gjöri iðrun, en hún vill ekki gjöra iðrun og láta af hórdómi sínum.
22 Nú mun ég varpa henni á sjúkrabeð og þeim í mikla þrengingu, sem hórast með henni, ef þeir gjöra ekki iðrun og láta af verkum hennar.
23 Og börn hennar mun ég deyða og allir söfnuðirnir skulu vita, að ég er sá, sem rannsakar nýrun og hjörtun, og ég mun gjalda yður, hverjum og einum, eftir verkum yðar.
24 En yður segi ég, hinum sem eruð í Þýatíru, öllum þeim sem hafa ekki kenningu þessa, þar sem þeir hafa ekki kannað djúp Satans, sem þeir svo kalla: Aðra byrði legg ég eigi á yður,
25 nema það að þér haldið því, sem þér hafið, þangað til ég kem.
26 Þeim er sigrar og varðveitir allt til enda verk mín mun ég gefa vald yfir heiðingjunum.
27 Og hann mun stjórna þeim með járnsprota, eins og leirker eru moluð. Það vald hef ég fengið frá föður mínum.
28 Og ég mun gefa honum morgunstjörnuna.
29 Hver sem eyra hefur, hann heyri hvað andinn segir söfnuðunum.

To the Church in Ephesus
2 “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) 2 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) 3 You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name,(G) and have not grown weary.
4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.(H) 5 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. 6 But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans,(K) which I also hate.
7 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
8 “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) 9 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 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;
2 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:
3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5 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.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
7 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.
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
9 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.
