啟示錄 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
給撒狄教會的信
3 「你要寫信告訴撒狄教會的天使，有上帝的七靈又有七顆星的主說，
『我知道你的行為，你名義上活著，實際上是死的。 2 你要警醒！把所剩無幾、奄奄一息的生命振作起來，因為我發現你的行為在我的上帝面前不純全。 3 因此，要回想你以前所領受、所聽見的教導，遵守這些教導，並且悔改。你若不警醒，我必在你意想不到的時候像賊一樣忽然來到。 4 不過在撒狄，你還有幾個人未曾玷污自己的衣服，他們要穿白袍與我同行，因為他們配得這樣。 5 得勝者必同樣穿上白袍，我絕不會從生命冊上抹去他的名字，我必在我父和眾天使面前承認他的名。
6 『聖靈對各教會所說的話，凡有耳朵的都應當聽。』
給非拉鐵非教會的信
7 「你要寫信告訴非拉鐵非教會的天使，那位聖潔、真實、拿著大衛的鑰匙、開了門無人能關、關了門無人能開的主說，
8 『我知道你的行為，你力量微小，卻遵守了我的教導，沒有背棄我的名。所以，看啊！我在你面前為你打開了一扇無人能關閉的門。 9 看啊！我要使撒旦的同夥，就是那些假冒猶太人的說謊者，在你面前俯伏下拜，讓他們知道你是我所疼愛的。 10 因為你遵守我有關堅忍的教導，所以當將來的試煉臨到全人類的時候，我必使你免受磨難。 11 我很快就要來了！你要持守你所擁有的，免得有人奪去你的冠冕。 12 我要使得勝者在我上帝的殿中作棟樑，永不離開。我要將我上帝的名號和我上帝聖城的名號，就是從天上我上帝那裡降下來的新耶路撒冷和我自己的新名號，都刻在他上面。
13 『聖靈對各教會所說的話，凡有耳朵的都應當聽。』
給老底嘉教會的信
14 「你要寫信告訴老底嘉教會的天使，那位實實在在[a]、誠信無偽的見證人，就是上帝所造萬物的元首說，
15 『我知道你的行為，你不冷也不熱。我情願你或冷或熱， 16 可是現在你卻像溫水一樣不冷不熱，我必將你從我口中吐出去！ 17 你說，我很富有，已經發了財，什麼都不缺。你卻不知道自己困苦、可憐、貧窮、瞎眼、赤身露體。 18 我勸你向我買精煉的金子，使你真正富有。你也要向我買白袍穿在身上，好遮蓋你赤身露體的羞辱。你也要向我買眼藥抹眼睛，使你能看見。 19 凡我所愛的，我都會責備、管教。因此，你要熱心起來，也要悔改。 20 看啊！我站在門外敲門，若有誰聞聲開門，我必進去，我與他，他與我，一同坐席吃飯。 21 得勝者可以和我一同坐在我的寶座上，正如我得勝後與我父一同坐在祂的寶座上一樣。
22 『聖靈對各教會所說的話，凡有耳朵的都應當聽。』」

The Dead Church
3 “And to the [a]angel of the church in Sardis write,
‘These things says He who (A)has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before [b]God. 3 (B)Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and (C)repent. (D)Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you (E)as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. 4 [c]You have (F)a few names [d]even in Sardis who have not (G)defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me (H)in white, for they are worthy. 5 He who overcomes (I)shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not (J)blot out his name from the (K)Book of Life; but (L)I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
6 (M)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
The Faithful Church
7 “And to the [e]angel of the church in Philadelphia write,
‘These things says (N)He who is holy, (O)He who is true, (P)“He who has the key of David, (Q)He who opens and no one shuts, and (R)shuts and no one opens”: 8 (S)“I know your works. See, I have set before you (T)an open door, [f]and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will make (U)those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed (V)I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept [g]My command to persevere, (W)I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon (X)the whole world, to test those who dwell (Y)on the earth. 11 [h]Behold, (Z)I am coming quickly! (AA)Hold fast what you have, that no one may take (AB)your crown. 12 He who overcomes, I will make him (AC)a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall (AD)go out no more. (AE)I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the (AF)New Jerusalem, which (AG)comes down out of heaven from My God. (AH)And I will write on him My new name.
13 (AI)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
The Lukewarm Church
14 “And to the [i]angel of the church [j]of the Laodiceans write,
(AJ)‘These things says the Amen, (AK)the Faithful and True Witness, (AL)the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 (AM)“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither [k]cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, (AN)‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you (AO)to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and (AP)white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 (AQ)As many as I love, I rebuke and (AR)chasten.[l] Therefore be [m]zealous and repent. 20 Behold, (AS)I stand at the door and knock. (AT)If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, (AU)I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes (AV)I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 (AW)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ”

Revelasyon 3
Haitian Creole Version
3 ¶ Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Sad la. Di l' konsa: Men sa moun ki gen sèt Lespri Bondye yo ak sèt zetwal yo voye di ou: Mwen konnen tou sa w'ap fè. Mwen konnen tout moun konprann ou vivan. Men, ou mouri.
2 Souke kò ou, bay ti rès lavi ou rete a fòs anvan ou fin mouri nèt. Paske, mwen wè sa w'ap fè a pa fin kòrèk devan Bondye mwen an.
3 Chonje sa yo te moutre ou la. Chonje jan ou te resevwa li. Obeyi l', tounen vin jwenn Bondye. Si ou pa sispann dòmi, m'ap vini sou ou tankou yon vòlè, san ou pa atann.
4 Men, gen kèk moun nan nou nan lavil Sad la ki te kenbe rad yo pwòp. Y'a mache ansanm avè m' ak rad blan yo, paske yo merite sa.
5 Tout moun ki goumen jouk yo genyen batay la pral mete rad blan an sou yo. Mwen p'ap wete non yo nan liv ki gen non moun ki gen lavi a. M'ap rekonèt yo pou moun pa m' devan Papa mwen ak devan zanj li yo.
6 Se pou moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo.
7 ¶ Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Filadèlfi a. Di l' konsa: Moun ki sen an, moun k'ap di verite a, moun ki gen kle wa David la nan men l' lan, moun ki lè li louvri pesonn pa ka fèmen, lè l' fèmen pesonn pa ka louvri a, men sa l' voye di ou:
8 Mwen konnen tou sa w'ap fè. Mwen konnen ou pa gen anpil kouraj. Malgre sa, w'ap kenbe pawòl mwen. Ou pa lage mwen. Mwen louvri yon pòt devan ou, pesonn p'ap ka fèmen li.
9 Men, pou moun ki fè pati gwoup Satan an, bann mantò sa yo k'ap pran pòz jwif yo men ki pa jwif, m'ap fòse yo vin mete ajenou devan ou pou yo ka respekte ou. Se pou yo rekonèt se ou menm mwen renmen.
10 Menm jan ou te kenbe lòd mwen te ba ou lè m' te mande ou pou te pran pasians lan, konsa tou, m'a kenbe ou, m'a pwoteje ou nan malè ki pral vin sou tout latè a. Se va yon gwo eprèv pou tout moun ki sou latè.
11 Anvan lontan mapral vini. Kenbe sa ou genyen an fèm pou pesonn pa wete rekonpans ou nan men ou.
12 Tout moun ki va goumen jouk yo genyen batay la, m'ap fè yo tounen yon gwo poto nan kay Bondye a. Apre sa, yo p'ap janm soti. M'a make non Bondye ansanm ak non lavil Bondye a, lòt Jerizalèm k'ap desann sot nan sièl la, sou yo. M'ap make lòt non mwen an sou yo tou.
13 Se pou tout moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo.
14 ¶ Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Lawodise a. Di l' konsa: Moun ki verite a, moun k'ap di verite a jan l' ye a san bay manti, li menm ki sous tou sa Bondye kreye a, men sa li voye di ou:
15 Mwen konnen tou sa w'ap fè. Mwen konnen ou pa ni cho ni frèt. Pito ou te cho osinon ou te frèt.
16 Men, ou kièd, ou pa cho, ou pa frèt. Mwen pral vonmi ou soti nan bouch mwen.
17 W'ap plede di: Mwen rich, zafè m' ap mache byen. Mwen pa manke anyen. Pòdiab! Konnen ou pa konnen jan ou malere, jan ou nan gwo nesesite, jan ou pòv, toutoni ak tou de je ou yo pete!
18 Se poutèt sa, mwen ta ba ou konsèy achte nan men m' bon lò san melanj ki pase nan dife. Konsa ou va rich tout bon. Achte nan men m' tou rad blan pou mete sou ou pou moun pa wè jan ou toutouni. Sa se yon wont pou ou. Achte nan men m' tou renmèd pou mete nan je ou pou ou ka wè.
19 Moun mwen renmen se yo mwen korije, se yo mwen peni. Mete plis aktivite nan sèvis ou. Tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
20 Koute. Men mwen kanpe la devan pòt la, m'ap frape. Si yon moun tande vwa m', si l' louvri pòt la ban mwen, m'a antre lakay li, m'a manje ansanm avè l', la manje ansanm avèk mwen.
21 Tout moun ki goumen jouk yo genyen batay la, m'ap ba yo dwa chita bò kote m' lè m'a sou fòtèy mwen an, menm jan mwen menm mwen te goumen jouk mwen te genyen batay la, pou koulye a mwen chita bò kot Papa m' ki chita sou fòtèy li a.
22 Se pou moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo.
