启示录 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
給以弗所教會的信
2 “你要寫信給在以弗所教會的使者，說：
‘那右手拿著七星，在七個金燈臺中間行走的，這樣說： 2 我知道你的行為、你的勞苦、你的忍耐，也知道你不能容忍惡人。你也曾經試驗那些自稱是使徒，而其實不是使徒的人，看出他們是假的。 3 你有忍耐，曾為我的名的緣故忍受一切，並不困倦。 4 然而有一件事我要責備你，就是你已經離棄了你起初的愛。 5 所以，你應當回想你是從哪裡墜落的，並且要悔改，作起初所作的事。你若不悔改，我就要來到你那裡，把你的燈臺從原處移去。 6 不過你有這一個優點，就是你恨惡尼哥拉黨的作為，那也是我所恨惡的。 7 聖靈向眾教會所說的話，有耳的就應當聽。得勝的，我必定把 神樂園裡生命樹的果子賜給他吃。’
給士每拿教會的信
8 “你要寫信給在士每拿教會的使者，說：
‘那首先的、末後的、曾經死去而又活過來的，這樣說： 9 我知道你的患難和貧窮，但你卻是富足的。我也知道那些自稱是猶太人所說毀謗的話，其實他們不是猶太人，而是撒但的黨徒。 10 你不要怕你將要受的苦。看哪！魔鬼將要把你們中間幾個人下在監裡，叫你們受試煉，你們要受患難十天。你要忠心至死，我就把那生命的冠冕賜給你。 11 聖靈向眾教會所說的話，有耳的就應當聽。得勝的，決不會受第二次死的害。’
給別迦摩教會的信
12 “你要寫信給在別迦摩教會的使者，說：
‘那有一把兩刃利劍的，這樣說： 13 我知道你居住的地方，就是撒但王座所在的地方。當我忠心的見證人安提帕在你們那裡，就是在撒但居住的地方被殺的那些日子，你還持守我的名，沒有否認對我的信仰。 14 然而有幾件事我要責備你，因為在你那裡有些人持守巴蘭的教訓。這巴蘭曾經教導巴勒把絆腳石放在以色列人面前，叫他們吃祭過偶像的食物，並且行淫亂。 15 同樣，你也有些人持守尼哥拉黨的教訓。 16 所以，你應當悔改；如果不悔改，我就很快地來到你們那裡，用我口中的劍跟他們作戰。 17 聖靈向眾教會所說的話，有耳的就應當聽。得勝的，我必定把那隱藏的嗎哪賜給他，並且賜他一塊白石，石上寫著新的名字，這名字除了那領受的人以外，是沒有人能知道的。’
給推雅推拉教會的信
18 “你要寫信給在推雅推拉教會的使者，說：
‘ 神的兒子，那眼睛像火燄、兩腳像光銅的，這樣說： 19 我知道你的行為，你的愛心、信心、服侍和忍耐，也知道你後來所作的比先前的還要多。 20 然而有一件事我要責備你，就是你容讓那自稱是先知的婦人耶洗別，教導和引誘我的眾僕人行淫亂，吃祭過偶像的食物。 21 我曾給她時間，讓她悔改，她卻不肯為她的淫行悔改。 22 看哪，我要把她拋在大患難的床上；那些跟她行淫亂的人，如果不為她的行為悔改，我也要把他們拋在大患難中。 23 我必以死亡擊殺她的兒女；眾教會就都知道我是察驗人肺腑心腸的，我要照著你們的行為報應你們各人。 24 至於你們其餘在推雅推拉的人，就是不跟從那教訓，不認識所謂撒但深奧的事的人，我告訴你們，我不會把別的重擔放在你們身上。 25 不過，你們要持守已經得著的，直到我來。 26 得勝的，又遵守我的旨意到底的，
我必把統治列國的權柄賜給他，
27 他必用鐵杖治理他們，
好像打碎陶器一樣粉碎他們，（“我必把……粉碎他們”引自詩2:8~9）
好像我從父領受了權柄一樣； 28 我還要把晨星賜給他。 29 聖靈向眾教會所說的話，有耳的就應當聽。’”
Revelation 2
New King James Version
The Loveless Church
2 “To the [a]angel of the church of Ephesus write,
‘These things says (A)He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, (B)who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: 2 (C)“I know your works, your labor, your [b]patience, and that you cannot [c]bear those who are evil. And (D)you have tested those (E)who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; 3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have (F)not become weary. 4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, (G)or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. 6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 (H)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give (I)to eat from (J)the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’
The Persecuted Church
8 “And to the [d]angel of the church in Smyrna write,
‘These things says (K)the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: 9 “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are (L)rich); and I know the blasphemy of (M)those who say they are Jews and are not, (N)but are a [e]synagogue of Satan. 10 (O)Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. (P)Be faithful until death, and I will give you (Q)the crown of life.
11 (R)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by (S)the second death.” ’
The Compromising Church
12 “And to the [f]angel of the church in Pergamos write,
‘These things says (T)He who has the sharp two-edged sword: 13 “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of (U)Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, (V)to eat things sacrificed to idols, (W)and to commit sexual immorality. 15 Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, [g]which thing I hate. 16 Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and (X)will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
17 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden (Y)manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone (Z)a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’
The Corrupt Church
18 “And to the [h]angel of the church in Thyatira write,
‘These things says the Son of God, (AA)who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: 19 (AB)“I know your works, love, [i]service, faith, and your [j]patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. 20 Nevertheless I have [k]a few things against you, because you allow [l]that woman (AC)Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, [m]to teach and seduce My servants (AD)to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time (AE)to [n]repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. 22 Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of [o]their deeds. 23 I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who (AF)searches[p] the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
24 “Now to you I say, [q]and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the (AG)depths of Satan, as they say, (AH)I [r]will put on you no other burden. 25 But hold fast (AI)what you have till I come. 26 And he who overcomes, and keeps (AJ)My works until the end, (AK)to him I will give power over the nations—
27 ‘He(AL) shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—
as I also have received from My Father; 28 and I will give him (AM)the morning star.
29 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’

寄信给以弗所
2 “你要写信给以弗所教会的使者说：‘那右手拿着七星、在七个金灯台中间行走的说： 2 我知道你的行为、劳碌、忍耐，也知道你不能容忍恶人。你也曾试验那自称为使徒却不是使徒的，看出他们是假的来。 3 你也能忍耐，曾为我的名劳苦，并不乏倦。
丢了起初的爱心
4 ‘然而，有一件事我要责备你，就是你把起初的爱心离弃了。 5 所以，应当回想你是从哪里坠落的，并要悔改，行起初所行的事。你若不悔改，我就临到你那里，把你的灯台从原处挪去。 6 然而，你还有一件可取的事，就是你恨恶尼哥拉一党人的行为，这也是我所恨恶的。 7 圣灵向众教会所说的话，凡有耳的，就应当听！得胜的，我必将神乐园中生命树的果子赐给他吃。’
寄信给士每拿
8 “你要写信给士每拿教会的使者说：‘那首先的、末后的、死过又活的说： 9 我知道你的患难、你的贫穷，你却是富足的；也知道那自称是犹太人所说的毁谤话，其实他们不是犹太人，乃是撒旦一会的人。
至死忠心必得生命冠冕
10 ‘你将要受的苦你不用怕。魔鬼要把你们中间几个人下在监里，叫你们被试炼，你们必受患难十日。你务要至死忠心，我就赐给你那生命的冠冕。 11 圣灵向众教会所说的话，凡有耳的，就应当听！得胜的，必不受第二次死的害。’
寄信给别迦摩
12 “你要写信给别迦摩教会的使者说：‘那有两刃利剑的说： 13 我知道你的居所，就是有撒旦座位之处。当我忠心的见证人安提帕在你们中间、撒旦所住的地方被杀之时，你还坚守我的名，没有弃绝我的道。 14 然而，有几件事我要责备你，因为在你那里，有人服从了巴兰的教训。这巴兰曾教导巴勒将绊脚石放在以色列人面前，叫他们吃祭偶像之物，行奸淫的事。 15 你那里也有人照样服从了尼哥拉一党人的教训。
当悔改
16 ‘所以，你当悔改！若不悔改，我就快临到你那里，用我口中的剑攻击他们。 17 圣灵向众教会所说的话，凡有耳的，就应当听！得胜的，我必将那隐藏的吗哪赐给他，并赐他一块白石，石上写着新名，除了那领受的以外，没有人能认识。’
寄信给推雅推喇
18 “你要写信给推雅推喇教会的使者说：‘那眼目如火焰、脚像光明铜的神之子说： 19 我知道你的行为、爱心、信心、勤劳、忍耐，又知道你末后所行的善事比起初所行的更多。 20 然而，有一件事我要责备你，就是你容让那自称是先知的妇人耶洗别教导我的仆人，引诱他们行奸淫，吃祭偶像之物。 21 我曾给她悔改的机会，她却不肯悔改她的淫行。 22 看哪，我要叫她病卧在床；那些与她行淫的人，若不悔改所行的，我也要叫他们同受大患难。 23 我又要杀死她的党类[a]，叫众教会知道我是那察看人肺腑心肠的，并要照你们的行为报应你们各人。
当持守等到主来
24 ‘至于你们推雅推喇其余的人，就是一切不从那教训、不晓得他们素常所说撒旦深奥之理的人，我告诉你们：我不将别的担子放在你们身上； 25 但你们已经有的，总要持守，直等到我来。 26 那得胜又遵守我命令到底的，我要赐给他权柄制伏列国， 27 他必用铁杖辖管[b]他们，将他们如同窑户的瓦器打得粉碎，像我从我父领受的权柄一样。 28 我又要把晨星赐给他。 29 圣灵向众教会所说的话，凡有耳的，就应当听！’
Revelation 2
New Century Version
To the Church in Ephesus
2 “Write this to the angel of the church in Ephesus:
“The One who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands says this: 2 I know what you do, how you work hard and never give up. I know you do not put up with the false teachings of evil people. You have tested those who say they are apostles but really are not, and you found they are liars. 3 You have patience and have suffered troubles for my name and have not given up.
4 “But I have this against you: You have left the love you had in the beginning. 5 So remember where you were before you fell. Change your hearts and do what you did at first. If you do not change, I will come to you and will take away your lampstand from its place. 6 But there is something you do that is right: You hate what the Nicolaitans[a] do, as much as I.
7 “Every person who has ears should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To those who win the victory I will give the right to eat the fruit from the tree of life, which is in the garden of God.
To the Church in Smyrna
8 “Write this to the angel of the church in Smyrna:
“The One who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again, says this: 9 I know your troubles and that you are poor, but really you are rich! I know the bad things some people say about you. They say they are Jews, but they are not true Jews. They are a synagogue that belongs to Satan. 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, and you will suffer for ten days. But be faithful, even if you have to die, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 “Everyone who has ears should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. Those who win the victory will not be hurt by the second death.
To the Church in Pergamum
12 “Write this to the angel of the church in Pergamum:
“The One who has the sharp, double-edged sword says this: 13 I know where you live. It is where Satan has his throne. But you are true to me. You did not refuse to tell about your faith in me even during the time of Antipas, my faithful witness who was killed in your city, where Satan lives.
14 “But I have a few things against you: You have some there who follow the teaching of Balaam. He taught Balak how to cause the people of Israel to sin by eating food offered to idols and by taking part in sexual sins. 15 You also have some who follow the teaching of the Nicolaitans.[b] 16 So change your hearts and lives. If you do not, I will come to you quickly and fight against them with the sword that comes out of my mouth.
17 “Everyone who has ears should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.
“I will give some of the hidden manna to everyone who wins the victory. I will also give to each one who wins the victory a white stone with a new name written on it. No one knows this new name except the one who receives it.
To the Church in Thyatira
18 “Write this to the angel of the church in Thyatira:
“The Son of God, who has eyes that blaze like fire and feet like shining bronze, says this: 19 I know what you do. I know about your love, your faith, your service, and your patience. I know that you are doing more now than you did at first.
20 “But I have this against you: You let that woman Jezebel spread false teachings. She says she is a prophetess, but by her teaching she leads my people to take part in sexual sins and to eat food that is offered to idols. 21 I have given her time to change her heart and turn away from her sin, but she does not want to change. 22 So I will throw her on a bed of suffering. And all those who take part in adultery with her will suffer greatly if they do not turn away from the wrongs she does. 23 I will also kill her followers. Then all the churches will know I am the One who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you for what you have done.
24 “But others of you in Thyatira have not followed her teaching and have not learned what some call Satan’s deep secrets. I say to you that I will not put any other load on you. 25 Only continue in your loyalty until I come.
26 “I will give power over the nations to everyone who wins the victory and continues to be obedient to me until the end.
27 ‘You will rule over them with an iron rod,
as when pottery is broken into pieces.’ Psalm 2:9
28 This is the same power I received from my Father. I will also give him the morning star. 29 Everyone who has ears should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.
