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。’”

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
給以弗所教會的信
2 「你要寫信告訴以弗所教會的天使，那位右手拿著七顆星、往來於七個金燈臺中间的主說，
2 『我知道你的行為、勞碌和堅忍，也知道你嫉惡如仇，曾查驗出那些假冒的使徒，揭穿他們的虛假。 3 你曾堅定不移地為我的名受苦，沒有氣餒。 4 但有一件事我要責備你，就是你把起初的愛心丟棄了。 5 因此，要回想你在哪裡跌倒了，並且悔改，照起初所行的去行。否則，我就要到你那裡，將你的燈臺從原處拿走。 6 然而你還有一點可取之處，就是你跟我一樣痛恨尼哥拉黨人的行徑。
7 『聖靈對各教會所說的話，凡有耳朵的都應當聽。我必將上帝樂園中生命樹上的果子賜給得勝者吃。』
給士每拿教會的信
8 「你要寫信告訴士每拿教會的天使，那位首先的、末後的、死而復活的主說，
9 『我知道你遭受的苦難和貧窮，其實你是富足的。我也知道那些人對你的毀謗，他們自稱為猶太人，其實不是，而是撒旦的同夥[a]。 10 你不要害怕將要遭受的苦難。魔鬼要將你們當中的一些人下在監裡，試煉你們，你們必遭受十天的迫害。但你要至死忠心，我必賜給你生命的冠冕。
11 『聖靈對各教會所說的話，凡有耳朵的都應當聽。得勝者必不被第二次死亡所害。』
給別迦摩教會的信
12 「你要寫信告訴別迦摩教會的天使，那位有兩刃利劍的主說，
13 『我知道你住在撒旦稱王的地方。當我忠心的見證人安提帕在你們這撒旦盤踞之處殉道的時候，你仍然堅守我的名，仍然信靠我。 14 不過有幾件事我要責備你，你那裡有人隨從巴蘭的教導。這巴蘭從前教巴勒在以色列人面前佈下網羅，使他們吃祭過偶像的食物、犯淫亂的罪。 15 同樣，你們當中也有人附從尼哥拉黨的教導。 16 所以你要悔改，否則我必迅速到你那裡，用我口中的劍攻擊他們。
17 『聖靈對各教會所說的話，凡有耳朵的都應當聽。我必將隱藏的嗎哪賜給得勝者。我也要賜給他一塊白石，石上刻著一個新名字，除了那領受的人以外，沒有人認識。』
給推雅推喇教會的信
18 「你要寫信告訴推雅推喇教會的天使，那位雙目如火焰、雙腳像閃亮精銅的上帝的兒子說，
19 『我知道你的行為、愛心、信心、事奉、堅忍，也知道你末後所做的善事比起初更多。 20 可是有一件事我要責備你，就是你容許那自稱是先知的婦人耶洗別教導我的眾奴僕，引誘他們淫亂、吃祭過偶像的食物。 21 我曾給她悔改的機會，她卻不肯悔改、離棄自己的淫亂行為， 22 所以我必叫她臥病在床。那些與她有染的人若不悔改，也必遭受極大的苦難。 23 我要擊殺她的爪牙[b]，使眾教會都知道我洞察人的心思意念，我要照你們各人的行為對待你們。
24 『至於你們其餘在推雅推喇的人，就是不聽那邪說、沒有學習所謂的撒旦玄學的人，我告訴你們，我不會將別的重擔放在你們身上。 25 但你們要好好持守自己已經得到的，一直到我來。 26 至於那得勝又遵守我命令到底的人，我必賜給他統治列國的權柄， 27 正如我從我父得到的權柄。他必用鐵杖管轄列國，將他們如同陶器一般打得粉碎。 28 我也要把晨星賜給他。
29 『聖靈對各教會所說的話，凡有耳朵的都應當聽。』
Revelation 2
New American Standard Bible
Message to Ephesus
2 “To the angel of the church in (A)Ephesus write:
The One who holds (B)the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks [a](C)among the seven golden lampstands, says this:
2 ‘(D)I know your deeds and your labor and [b]perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil people, and you have (E)put those who call themselves (F)apostles to the test, and they are not, and you found them to be false; 3 and you have [c]perseverance and have endured (G)on account of My name, and have not become weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have (H)left your first love. 5 Therefore, remember from where you have fallen, and (I)repent, and (J)do the [d]deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and I will remove your (K)lampstand from its place—unless you repent. 6 But you have this, that you hate the deeds of the (L)Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 (M)The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (N)To the one who overcomes, I will grant to eat from (O)the tree of life, which is in the (P)Paradise of God.’
Message to Smyrna
8 “And to the angel of the church in (Q)Smyrna write:
(R)The first and the last, who [e](S)was dead, and has come to life, says this:
9 ‘I know your (T)tribulation and your (U)poverty (but you are (V)rich), and the [f]slander by those who (W)say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of (X)Satan. 10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, so that you will be (Y)tested, and you will have tribulation (Z)for ten days. [g]Be (AA)faithful until death, and I will give you (AB)the crown of life. 11 (AC)The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (AD)The one who overcomes will not be hurt by the (AE)second death.’
Message to Pergamum
12 “And to the angel of the church in (AF)Pergamum write:
The One who has (AG)the sharp two-edged sword says this:
13 ‘I know where you dwell, where (AH)Satan’s throne is; and you hold firmly to My name, and did not deny (AI)My faith even in the days of Antipas, My (AJ)witness, My (AK)faithful one, who was killed among you, (AL)where Satan dwells. 14 But (AM)I have a few things against you, because you have some there who hold the (AN)teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a [h]stumbling block before the sons of Israel, (AO)to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality. 15 So you too, have some who in the same way hold to the teaching of the (AP)Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore (AQ)repent; or else (AR)I am coming to you quickly, and I will wage war against them with (AS)the sword of My mouth. 17 (AT)The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (AU)To the one who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden (AV)manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a (AW)new name written on the stone (AX)which no one knows except the one who receives it.’
Message to Thyatira
18 “And to the angel of the church in (AY)Thyatira write:
(AZ)The Son of God, (BA)who has [i]eyes like a flame of fire, and [j]feet like burnished bronze, says this:
19 ‘(BB)I know your deeds, and your love and faith, and service and [k]perseverance, and that your [l]deeds of late are greater than [m]at first. 20 But (BC)I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman (BD)Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they (BE)commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 (BF)I gave her time to repent, and she (BG)does not want to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who (BH)commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of [n]her deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with [o]plague, and all the churches will know that I am He who (BI)searches the [p]minds and hearts; and (BJ)I will give to each one of you according to your deeds. 24 But I say to you, the rest who are in (BK)Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the (BL)deep things of Satan, as they call them—I (BM)place no other burden on you. 25 Nevertheless (BN)what you have, hold firmly (BO)until I come. 26 (BP)The one who overcomes, and the one who keeps My deeds (BQ)until the end, (BR)I will give him authority over the [q]nations; 27 and he shall [r](BS)rule them with a rod of iron, (BT)as the vessels of the potter are shattered, as I also have received authority from My Father; 28 and I will give him (BU)the morning star. 29 (BV)The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
