Ostervald (French) OST
New International Version NIV
2 Je connais tes œuvres, et ton travail, et ta patience; et je sais que tu ne peux souffrir les méchants; et tu as éprouvé ceux qui se disent apôtres, et ne le sont point, et tu les a trouvés menteurs.
2
I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.
3 Tu as souffert, tu as eu de la patience, et tu as travaillé pour mon nom, et tu ne t'es point découragé.
3
You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.
4 Mais j'ai contre toi, que tu as abandonné ta première charité.
4
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.
5 Souviens-toi donc d'où tu es déchu, repens-toi, et fais tes premières œuvres; sinon je viendrai bientôt à toi, et si tu ne te repens, j'ôterai ton chandelier de sa place.
5
Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
6 Toutefois tu as ceci, c'est que tu hais les actions des Nicolaïtes, lesquelles je hais aussi.
6
But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Que celui qui a des oreilles, écoute ce que l'Esprit dit aux Églises: A celui qui vaincra, je lui donnerai à manger de l'arbre de vie, qui est au milieu du paradis de Dieu.
7
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
8 Écris aussi à l'ange de l'Église de SMYRNE: Voici ce que dit le Premier et le Dernier, qui a été mort, et qui a repris la vie:
8
“To the angel of the church in Smyrna write:These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again.
9 Je connais tes œuvres, et ta tribulation, et ta pauvreté, (quoique tu sois riche, ) et les calomnies de ceux qui se disent Juifs, et ne le sont point, mais qui sont une synagogue de Satan.
9
I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
10 Ne crains rien des choses que tu auras à souffrir; voici, le diable va jeter en prison quelques-uns de vous, afin que vous soyez éprouvés; et vous aurez une affliction de dix jours. Sois fidèle jusqu'à la mort, et je te donnerai la couronne de vie.
10
Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.
11 Que celui qui a des oreilles, écoute ce que l'Esprit dit aux Églises: Celui qui vaincra, ne recevra aucun dommage de la seconde mort.
11
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death.

12
“To the angel of the church in Pergamum write:These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword.
