¹ Sur mia gardista posteno mi staris; kaj, starigxinte sur turo, mi observis, por vidi, kion Li diros al mi kaj kion mi devas respondi al la riprocxo kontraux mi.

² Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al mi, kaj diris:Enskribu la vizion, kaj desegnu bone sur la tabeloj, por ke leganto povu facile tralegi.

³ CXar la vizio koncernas tempon difinitan kaj parolas pri la fino, sed gxi ne mensogas; se gxi prokrastigxus, atendu gxin, cxar gxi nepre plenumigxos, ne estos fordecidita.

⁴ Vidu, kiu estas malhumila, ties animo ne estos trankvila en li; sed virtulo vivos per sia fideleco.

⁵ La vino trompas viron fieran, kaj li ne humiligxas; li largxigas sian animon kiel SXeol, kaj kiel la morto li estas nesatigebla, li kolektas al si cxiujn naciojn kaj kaptas al si cxiujn popolojn.

⁶ Sed ili ja cxiuj parolos pri li alegorion kaj mokan enigmon, kaj diros:Ve al tiu, kiu tro multigas al si fremdajxon sen fino kaj metas sur sin tro grandan sxargxon de sxuldoj!

⁷ Subite ja levigxos viaj pikontoj kaj vekigxos viaj pusxontoj, kaj vi farigxos ilia rabatajxo.

⁸ CXar vi prirabis multe da nacioj, tial ankaux vin prirabos la ceteraj popoloj, pro la sango de homoj, pro la premado de la lando, de la urbo, kaj de cxiuj gxiaj logxantoj.

⁹ Ve al tiu, kiu kolektas por sia domo maljustan akirajxon, por arangxi alte sian neston, por defendi sin kontraux mano de malbonulo!

¹⁰ Vi elpensis malhonoron por via domo, disbatante multe da popoloj kaj pekigante vian animon.

¹¹ La sxtonoj el la muroj krias, kaj la lignaj traboj respondas al ili.

¹² Ve al tiu, kiu konstruas urbon per sangoversxado kaj pretigas fortikajxon per maljusteco!

¹³ Tio venas ja de la Eternulo Cebaot, ke la popoloj klopodas por la fajro kaj la gentoj lacigas sin vane.

¹⁴ CXar la tero plenigxos de konado de la gloro de la Eternulo, kiel la akvo plenigas la maron.

¹⁵ Ve al vi, kiu drinkigas sian proksimulon, por elversxi vian koleron, kaj ebriigas lin, por vidi lian honton!

¹⁶ Vi satigxis per honto anstataux per honoro; drinku do ankaux vi, kaj kovru vin per honto; ankaux al vi venos la kaliko el la dekstra mano de la Eternulo, kaj neniigo de via gloro.

¹⁷ CXar via perforteco sur Lebanon falos sur vin, kaj atakate de bestoj vi estos terurata pro la sango de homoj, pro la premado de la lando, de la urbo, kaj de cxiuj gxiaj logxantoj.

¹⁸ Kion helpos la skulptajxo, kiun skulptis la artisto, la fanditajxo kaj malvera instruanto, kvankam la majstro fidis sian propran faritajxon, farante mutajn idolojn?

¹⁹ Ve al tiu, kiu diras al ligno:Levigxu, kaj al muta sxtono:Vekigxu! CXu gxi povas instrui? gxi estas ja tegita per oro kaj argxento, sed havas en si nenian spiriton.

²⁰ Sed la Eternulo estas en Sia sankta templo; la tuta tero silentu antaux Li!

¹ "And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: "He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these things: "I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.

² Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which you were about to throw away, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God.

³ Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you won't watch, I will come as a thief, and you won't know what hour I will come upon you.

⁴ Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

⁵ He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

⁶ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

⁷ "To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: "He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things:

⁸ "I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word, and didn't deny my name.

⁹ Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie. Behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

¹⁰ Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

¹¹ I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

¹² He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.

¹³ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

¹⁴ "To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: "The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God's creation, says these things:

¹⁵ "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.

¹⁶ So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.

¹⁷ Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;' and don't know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;

¹⁸ I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.

²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.

²¹ He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

²² He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies."
