1En skryf aan die engel van die gemeente in Sardis: Dit sê Hy wat die sewe geeste van God en die sewe sterre het: Ek ken jou werke, dat jy die naam het dat jy lewe, en jy is dood.Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Σάρδεσιν ἐκκλησίας γράψον· Τάδε λέγει ὁ ἔχων τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀστέρας· Οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα, ὅτι ὄνομα ἔχεις ὅτι ζῇς, καὶ νεκρὸς εἶ.“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of the One who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation for being alive, yet you are dead. 2Word waaksaam en versterk die oorblywende dinge wat op die punt was om te sterf, want Ek het nie jou werke volkome gevind voor My God nie.

Sommige manuskripte lees: wat jy op die punt was om weg te gooi.

γίνου γρηγορῶν, καὶ στήρισον τὰ λοιπὰ ἃ ⸂ἔμελλον ἀποθανεῖν⸃, οὐ γὰρ εὕρηκά σου ⸀τὰ ἔργα πεπληρωμένα ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ μου·Wake up and strengthen what remains, which is about to die; for I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of My God. 3Onthou dan hoe jy ontvang en gehoor het, en bewaar dit, en bekeer jou. As jy dan nie waaksaam is nie, sal Ek kom soos 'n dief, en jy sal volstrek nie weet op watter uur Ek oor jou sal kom nie.μνημόνευε οὖν πῶς εἴληφας καὶ ἤκουσας καὶ τήρει, καὶ μετανόησον· ἐὰν οὖν μὴ γρηγορήσῃς, ⸀ἥξω ὡς κλέπτης, καὶ οὐ μὴ ⸀γνῷς ποίαν ὥραν ἥξω ἐπὶ σέ·Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you. 4Maar jy het ’n paar name in Sardis wat hulle klere nie besoedel het nie, en hulle sal met My in wit wandel, omdat hulle waardig is.ἀλλὰ ⸂ἔχεις ὀλίγα⸃ ὀνόματα ἐν Σάρδεσιν ἃ οὐκ ἐμόλυναν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν, καὶ περιπατήσουσιν μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἐν λευκοῖς, ὅτι ἄξιοί εἰσιν.But you do have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments, and because they are worthy, they will walk with Me in white. 5Wie oorwin, sal so met wit klere beklee word, en Ek sal sy naam beslis nie uit die boek van die lewe uitwis nie, en Ek sal sy naam bely voor My Vader en voor Sy engele.ὁ νικῶν ⸀οὕτως περιβαλεῖται ἐν ἱματίοις λευκοῖς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξαλείψω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς βίβλου τῆς ζωῆς, καὶ ὁμολογήσω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ.Like them, he who overcomes will be dressed in white. And I will never blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father and His angels. 6Wie ’n oor het, laat hom hoor wat die Gees aan die gemeentes sê.ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

7En skryf aan die engel van die gemeente in Filadelfia: Dit sê die Heilige, die Waaragtige, wat die sleutel van Dawid het, wat oopmaak en niemand sal toesluit, en wat toesluit en niemand maak oop:

Sommige manuskripte lees: wat oopmaak en niemand sluit dit toe behalwe Hy wat oopmaak, en niemand sal oopmaak nie.

Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Φιλαδελφείᾳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· Τάδε λέγει ὁ ἅγιος, ὁ ἀληθινός, ὁ ἔχων τὴν κλεῖν ⸀Δαυίδ, ὁ ἀνοίγων καὶ οὐδεὶς κλείσει, ⸂καὶ κλείων⸃ καὶ οὐδεὶς ⸀ἀνοίγει·To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the One who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open. 8Ek ken jou werke — kyk, Ek het voor jou ’n geopende deur gegee, wat niemand kan toesluit nie — dat jy min krag het, en jy het My woord bewaar en My naam nie verloën nie.

Of: want jy het min krag.

Οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα— ἰδοὺ δέδωκα ἐνώπιόν σου θύραν ἠνεῳγμένην, ἣν οὐδεὶς δύναται κλεῖσαι αὐτήν— ὅτι μικρὰν ἔχεις δύναμιν, καὶ ἐτήρησάς μου τὸν λόγον, καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσω τὸ ὄνομά μου.I know your deeds. Behold, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. I know that you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name. 9Kyk, Ek gee uit die sinagoge van Satan, van dié wat sê dat hulle Jode is, en hulle is dit nie, maar lieg — kyk, Ek sal maak dat hulle kom en voor jou voete neerbuig en weet dat Ek jou liefgehad het.ἰδοὺ ⸀διδῶ ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς τοῦ Σατανᾶ, τῶν λεγόντων ἑαυτοὺς Ἰουδαίους εἶναι, καὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν ἀλλὰ ψεύδονται— ἰδοὺ ποιήσω αὐτοὺς ἵνα ⸂ἥξουσιν καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν⸃ ἐνώπιον τῶν ποδῶν σου, καὶ γνῶσιν ὅτι ⸀ἐγὼ ἠγάπησά σε.As for those who belong to the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews but are liars instead, I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will know that I love you. 10Omdat jy die woord van My volharding bewaar het, sal Ek ook jou bewaar uit die uur van die beproewing wat oor die hele bewoonde wêreld gaan kom, om dié wat op die aarde woon, te beproef.ὅτι ἐτήρησας τὸν λόγον τῆς ὑπομονῆς μου, κἀγώ σε τηρήσω ἐκ τῆς ὥρας τοῦ πειρασμοῦ τῆς μελλούσης ἔρχεσθαι ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκουμένης ὅλης, πειράσαι τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.Because you have kept My command to persevere, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11Ek kom gou. Hou vas wat jy het, sodat niemand jou kroon neem nie.ἔρχομαι ταχύ· κράτει ὃ ἔχεις, ἵνα μηδεὶς λάβῃ τὸν στέφανόν σου.I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12Wie oorwin, hom sal Ek ’n pilaar maak in die tempel van My God, en hy sal nooit meer daaruit uitgaan nie, en Ek sal op hom die naam van My God skryf en die naam van die stad van My God, die nuwe Jerusalem, wat uit die hemel van My God af neerdaal, en My nuwe naam.ὁ νικῶν ποιήσω αὐτὸν στῦλον ἐν τῷ ναῷ τοῦ θεοῦ μου, καὶ ἔξω οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃ ἔτι, καὶ γράψω ἐπʼ αὐτὸν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ μου καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως τοῦ θεοῦ μου, τῆς καινῆς Ἰερουσαλήμ, ἡ ⸀καταβαίνουσα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ μου, καὶ τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ καινόν.The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will never again leave it. Upon him I will write the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from My God), and My new name. 13Wie ’n oor het, laat hom hoor wat die Gees aan die gemeentes sê.ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

14En skryf aan die engel van die gemeente in Laodisea: Dit sê die Amen, die getroue en waaragtige getuie, die begin van die skepping van God:

Of: die oorsprong van die skepping van God.

Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· Τάδε λέγει ὁ Ἀμήν, ὁ μάρτυς ὁ πιστὸς ⸀καὶ ἀληθινός, ἡ ἀρχὴ τῆς κτίσεως τοῦ θεοῦ·To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Originator of God’s creation. 15Ek ken jou werke, dat jy nie koud is en ook nie warm nie. Was jy maar koud of warm!Οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα, ὅτι οὔτε ψυχρὸς εἶ οὔτε ζεστός. ὄφελον ψυχρὸς ἦς ἢ ζεστός.I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other! 16So, omdat jy louwarm is en nie warm of koud nie, is Ek op die punt om jou uit My mond uit te braak.οὕτως, ὅτι χλιαρὸς εἶ καὶ ⸀οὔτε ζεστὸς οὔτε ψυχρός, μέλλω σε ἐμέσαι ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου.So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth! 17Omdat jy sê: “Ek is ryk en het ryk geword en het aan niks behoefte nie,” en jy nie weet dat jý die ellendige en jammerlike en arm en blinde en naakte is nie,ὅτι λέγεις ⸀ὅτι Πλούσιός εἰμι καὶ πεπλούτηκα καὶ ⸀οὐδὲν χρείαν ἔχω, καὶ οὐκ οἶδας ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ταλαίπωρος ⸀καὶ ἐλεεινὸς καὶ πτωχὸς καὶ τυφλὸς καὶ γυμνός,You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. 18raai Ek jou aan om by My goud te koop wat uit vuur gelouter is, sodat jy ryk kan word, en wit klere sodat jy jou kan beklee en die skande van jou naaktheid nie openbaar word nie, en salf om jou oë mee te salf, sodat jy kan sien.συμβουλεύω σοι ἀγοράσαι ⸂παρʼ ἐμοῦ χρυσίον⸃ πεπυρωμένον ἐκ πυρὸς ἵνα πλουτήσῃς, καὶ ἱμάτια λευκὰ ἵνα περιβάλῃ καὶ μὴ φανερωθῇ ἡ αἰσχύνη τῆς γυμνότητός σου, καὶ κολλούριον ⸀ἐγχρῖσαι τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου ἵνα βλέπῃς.I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, white garments so that you may be clothed and your shameful nakedness not exposed, and salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. 19Almal wat Ek liefhet, bestraf en tugtig Ek; wees dan ywerig en bekeer jou.ἐγὼ ὅσους ἐὰν φιλῶ ἐλέγχω καὶ παιδεύω· ⸀ζήλευε οὖν καὶ μετανόησον.Those I love I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent. 20Kyk, Ek staan by die deur en klop. As iemand My stem hoor en die deur oopmaak, sal Ek by hom ingaan en saam met hom ete eet en hy saam met My.ἰδοὺ ἕστηκα ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν καὶ κρούω· ἐάν τις ἀκούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ ἀνοίξῃ τὴν θύραν, ⸀καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ δειπνήσω μετʼ αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς μετʼ ἐμοῦ.Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me. 21Wie oorwin, hom sal Ek gee om saam met My op My troon te sit, soos Ek ook oorwin het en saam met My Vader op Sy troon gaan sit het.ὁ νικῶν δώσω αὐτῷ καθίσαι μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἐν τῷ θρόνῳ μου, ὡς κἀγὼ ἐνίκησα καὶ ἐκάθισα μετὰ τοῦ πατρός μου ἐν τῷ θρόνῳ αὐτοῦ.To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22Wie ’n oor het, laat hom hoor wat die Gees aan die gemeentes sê.ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
