1 A o anjo da igreja em Sardes escreve: Isto diz aquele que tem os sete espíritos de Deus, e as estrelas: Conheço as tuas obras; tens nome de que vives, e estás morto.

And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Sardis write: These are the words of Him Who has the seven Spirits of God '> the sevenfold Holy Spirit] and the seven stars: I know your record and what you are doing; you are supposed to be alive, but you are dead.

2 S ê vigilante, e confirma o restante, que estava para morrer; porque não tenho achado as tuas obras perfeitas diante do meu Deus.

Rouse yourselves and keep awake, and strengthen and invigorate what remains and is on the point of dying; for I have not found a thing that you have done meeting the requirements of My God or perfect in His sight.

3 L embra-te, portanto, do que tens recebido e ouvido, e guarda-o, e arrepende-te. Pois se não vigiares, virei como um ladrão, e não saberás a que hora sobre ti virei.

So call to mind the lessons you received and heard; continually lay them to heart and obey them, and repent. In case you will not rouse yourselves and keep awake and watch, I will come upon you like a thief, and you will not know or suspect at what hour I will come.

4 M as também tens em Sardes algumas pessoas que não contaminaram as suas vestes e comigo andarão vestidas de branco, porquanto são dignas.

Yet you still have a few names in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes, and they shall walk with Me in white, because they are worthy and deserving.

5 O que vencer será assim vestido de vestes brancas, e de maneira nenhuma riscarei o seu nome do livro da vida; antes confessarei o seu nome diante de meu Pai e diante dos seus anjos.

Thus shall he who conquers (is victorious) be clad in white garments, and I will not erase or blot out his name from the Book of Life; I will acknowledge him and I will confess his name openly before My Father and before His angels.

6 Q uem tem ouvidos, ouça o que o espírito diz

He who is able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the Spirit says to the assemblies (churches).

7 A o anjo da igreja em Filadélfia escreve: Isto diz o que é santo, o que é verdadeiro, o que tem a chave de Davi; o que abre, e ninguém fecha; e fecha, e ninguém abre:

And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, He Who has the key of David, Who opens and no one shall shut, Who shuts and no one shall open:

8 C onheço as tuas obras (eis que tenho posto diante de ti uma porta aberta, que ninguém pode fechar), que tens pouca força, entretanto guardaste a minha palavra e não negaste o meu nome.

I know your works and what you are doing. See! I have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept My Word and guarded My message and have not renounced or denied My name.

9 E is que farei aos da sinagoga de Satanás, aos que se dizem judeus, e não o são, mas mentem, - eis que farei que venham, e adorem prostrados aos teus pés, e saibam que eu te amo.

Take note! I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet and learn and acknowledge that I have loved you.

10 P orquanto guardaste a palavra da minha perseverança, também eu te guardarei da hora da provação que há de vir sobre o mundo inteiro, para pôr ã prova os que habitam sobre a terra.

Because you have guarded and kept My word of patient endurance '> lesson of My patience with the expectant endurance that I give you], I also will keep you from the hour of trial (testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth.

11 V enho sem demora; guarda o que tens, para que ninguém tome a tua coroa.

I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one may rob you and deprive you of your crown.

12 A quem vencer, eu o farei coluna no templo do meu Deus, donde jamais sairá; e escreverei sobre ele o nome do meu Deus, e o nome da cidade do meu Deus, a nova Jerusalém, que desce do céu, da parte do meu Deus, e também o meu novo nome.

He who overcomes (is victorious), I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of My God; he shall never be put out of it or go out of it, and I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which descends from My God out of heaven, and My own new name.

13 Q uem tem ouvidos, ouça o que o Espírito diz

He who can hear, let him listen to and heed what the Spirit says to the assemblies (churches).

14 A o anjo da igreja em Laodicéia escreve: Isto diz o Amém, a testemunha fiel e verdadeira, o pricípio da criação de Deus:

And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the trusty and faithful and true Witness, the Origin and Beginning and Author of God’s creation:

15 C onheço as tuas obras, que nem és frio nem quente; oxalá foras frio ou quente!

I know your works and what you are doing; you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot!

16 A ssim, porque és morno, e não és quente nem frio, vomitar-te-ei da minha boca.

So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth!

17 P orquanto dizes: Rico sou, e estou enriquecido, e de nada tenho falta; e não sabes que és um coitado, e miserável, e pobre, e cego, e nu;

For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.

18 a conselho-te que de mim compres ouro refinado no fogo, para que te enriqueças; e vestes brancas, para que te vistas, e não seja manifesta a vergonha da tua nudez; e colírio, a fim de ungires os teus olhos, para que vejas.

Therefore I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.

19 E u repreendo e castigo a todos quantos amo: sê pois zeloso, e arrepende-te.

Those whom I love, I tell their faults and convict and convince and reprove and chasten. So be enthusiastic and in earnest and burning with zeal and repent.

20 E is que estou ã porta e bato; se alguém ouvir a minha voz, e abrir a porta, entrarei em sua casa, e com ele cearei, e ele comigo.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he with Me.

21 A o que vencer, eu lhe concederei que se assente comigo no meu trono.

He who overcomes (is victorious), I will grant him to sit beside Me on My throne, as I Myself overcame (was victorious) and sat down beside My Father on His throne.

22 Q uem tem ouvidos, ouça o que o Espírito diz

He who is able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the Spirit says to the assemblies (churches).
