1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; 2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; 9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. 10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. 11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is : and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; 19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. 20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. 24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. 25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. 26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. 28 And I will give him the morning star. 29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Efes shahridagi imonlilar jamoatiga
1 “Efesdagi imonlilar jamoatining farishtasiga yoz:
Yetti yulduzni oʻng qoʻlida tutguvchi, yettita oltin chiroqpoya orasida yuruvchi Zot shunday demoqda: 2 sening ishlaringni, mehnatingni, bardoshingni bilaman, badkirdorlarga toqat qilmasligingni ham bilaman. Havoriy boʻlmagan holda oʻzlarini havoriy deb aytganlarni sen sinading, ularning yolgʻonini fosh qilding. 3 Ha, bardoshlisan. Mening nomim uchun koʻp qiyinchiliklarni boshdan kechirib, holdan toymading. 4 Biroq senga bir eʼtirozim bor: sen Menga boʻlgan ilk sevgingni unutding. 5 Eslagin axir, ilk sevgi bilan yashaganingda qanchalar yuksakda eding! Endi esa tavba qil, avvalgi ishlaringga qayt. Tavba qilmasang oldingga borib, chiroqpoyangni oʻz joyidan olib tashlayman. 6 Ha, senda yana bir yaxshi fazilat bor: sen nikolaschilarning ishlaridan nafratlanasan. Men ham ulardan nafratlanaman.
7 Kimning eshitar qulogʻi boʻlsa, Ruhning jamoatlarga aytayotgan gaplarini eshitsin. Gʻolib kelganlarga Xudoning jannatidagi hayot daraxti mevasidan yeyishni nasib etaman.”
Smirna shahridagi imonlilar jamoatiga
8 “Smirnadagi imonlilar jamoatining farishtasiga yoz:
Oʻlib tirilgan, Birinchi va Oxirgi boʻlgan Zot shunday demoqda: 9 chekkan azoblaringni , kambagʻalligingni bilaman. Aslida esa boysan! Oʻzini Xudoning xalqi deb ataganlar seni qanchalar haqoratlaganini ham bilaman. Ular Xudoning xalqi emas , balki shayton toʻdasidir. 10 Boshingga tushadigan azob–uqubatlardan qoʻrqma! Bilginki, iblis sizlarni sinash uchun orangizdan baʼzilarni zindonga tashlaydi, oʻn kun davomida azob chekasizlar. Oʻlim xavfi ostida boʻlganingda ham sodiq qol, shunda Men senga hayot tojini beraman.
11 Kimning eshitar qulogʻi boʻlsa, Ruhning jamoatlarga aytayotgan gaplarini eshitsin. Gʻolib kelganlar ikkinchi oʻlimdan hech qanday zarar koʻrmaydilar.”
Pergamon shahridagi imonlilar jamoatiga
12 “Pergamondagi imonlilar jamoatining farishtasiga yoz:
Oʻtkir dudama qilich Sohibi shunday demoqda: 13 qayerda yashayotganingni bilaman. Shahringda shaytonning taxti joylashgan . Shunday boʻlsa–da, sen Mening nomimga qattiq bogʻlanding. Shayton yashayotgan oʻsha shahringda sodiq shohidim Antipas oʻldirilganda ham, sen Menga boʻlgan imoningdan qaytmading. 14 Lekin senga bir oz eʼtirozim bor: orangizda Balom taʼlimotiga rioya qiluvchilar bor. Balom Isroil xalqini yoʻldan ozdirish yoʻlini Boloqqa oʻrgatgandi. Boloq esa Isroil xalqini butlarga keltirilgan qurbonlik goʻshtini yeyishga va fahsh–zinoga undagandi. 15 Shuningdek, orangizda nikolaschilar taʼlimotiga ergashuvchilar ham bor. 16 Endi tavba qil! Aks holda, Men zudlik bilan oldingga borib, ogʻzimdagi qilich bilan oʻshalarga qarshi jang qilaman.
17 Kimning eshitar qulogʻi boʻlsa, Ruhning jamoatlarga aytayotgan gaplarini eshitsin. Gʻolibga Men pinhon saqlangan mannani beraman. Unga oq toshni ham beraman. Bu toshning ustiga yangi bir ism yozilgan, toshni olgan kishidan boshqa hech kim u ismni bilmaydi.”
Tiyatira shahridagi imonlilar jamoatiga
18 “Tiyatiradagi imonlilar jamoatining farishtasiga yoz:
Koʻzlari otash alangasiday chaqnoq, oyoqlari qizdirilgan bronzaday yarqiroq Xudoning Oʻgʻli shunday demoqda: 19 sening ishlaring, sevging, imoning, xizmating va bardoshingni bilaman. Hozirda oldingidan ham koʻproq ish qilayotganingni bilaman. 20 Lekin senga bir eʼtirozim bor: sen Izabel degan boʻlmagʻur ayolga toqat qilib yuribsan. U oʻzini paygʻambar deb, taʼlimoti bilan qullarimni yoʻldan ozdiryapti. Ularni fahsh–zino qilishga va butlarga keltirilgan qurbonlik goʻshtini yeyishga undayapti. 21 Fahsh–zinodan tavba qilishi uchun unga muhlat berdim, ammo u tavba qilishdan bosh tortyapti. 22 Shunday ekan, Men uni xasta qilib, toʻshakka yotqizib qoʻyaman. U bilan birga fahsh–zino qilganlarni ham, bordi–yu, uning yoʻlidan qaytmasalar, qattiq azob–uqubatlarga duchor qilaman. 23 Uning izdoshlarini oʻldiraman. Onglarni va yuraklarni bilguvchi Men ekanligimni shunda hamma jamoatlar bilib oladilar. Men orangizdagi har bir kishini oʻz qilmishiga yarasha jazolayman.
24 Tiyatiradagi baʼzilaringiz Izabelning bu taʼlimotiga ergashmadingiz. Sizlar «shaytonning sirlari» deb atalgan narsalardan bexabarsizlar. Sizlarga shundan boshqa hech narsa yuklamayman: 25 faqat Men kelgunimga qadar, imoningizda qattiq turinglar, deyman. 26 Gʻolib kelganlarga va oxirigacha Mening irodamni bajarganlarga xalqlar ustidan hokimiyat beraman. 27 Ular xalqlarni temir xivchin ila boshqarishadi. Sopol koʻzani sindirganday xalqlarni parchalashadi . Otam Xudo Menga ato qilgan bu hokimiyat ularda boʻladi. 28 Men ularga tong yulduzini ham beraman.
29 Kimning eshitar qulogʻi boʻlsa, Ruhning jamoatlarga aytayotgan gaplarini eshitsin.”
