< Revelation 2 >
1 Hi ni malaikan u coci Afisu nha itre u waa a nji Tsitsen tangban niwoma korli ni wawu wa ani nzen hu tsutsu ingba zinariya tangban bi zi lu.
“To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: “He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lamp stands says these things:
2 Mitoh ndu me, nhon nyu me ni vu sron me ndi na kpa nyme ni bi meme nyeme ni meme nde na, mito u tsre biwa mba la nitu, ndi mba manzanni ani he nakyina, wawu mba bi che.
“I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves emissaries, and they are not, and found them false.
3 Mito u he nivfu sroun, u sha yan gbugbu ni tu nde mu, u na kaba hi kwugonna.
You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
4 iwhirji mina kpa nyeme ni u na u bri sonme u mumle.
But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
5 U mba yo ndi toiwhirji u krujokun tie ndidi ndi kgbu ye ni gbi bi mumle mba tie ndidi ndi ihu fitilar ni gbugblu senmen.
Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.
6 Uwu he niwayi una kpa kyema ni gpi wa nikolatawa mba tie na; wa memen mina kpa nyemena.
But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Wa ahe ni tun wo ndi won di wo gpi wa Ruhu si la ni Ikilisiyoyi. nde wa a kyri gbagban minu kon wa ni ri ni mi kwugrar u re wa ahe ni rju i irji.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.
8 Hi ni malaikan (fasto) wa ahe ni Ikilisiyar samina ha bayi mba tre wa ahe ni mumle ni u klekle wa'a kwu nda kgbaye.
“To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
9 Mito iyabin ni iyon bi u tona u he niwu mito wa mba si mbata nde wa mba iyotun mba ndi mba yahudawa mbana hena kyrina mba bi kon imblisi.
“I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
10 Na glu sisiri iya wu sha ni he shishina. yar ibisi ti whuwhir tru mbari bi nimi tro; dumba teyi ya; bi sha yak ifin wulan kri gbangba hi ni kwu bi kpa yagya re.
Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 Wa ahe ni tu wo ndi wo kpa wa rubu asi tra ni Ikilisiyoyi. wa akri gbagba hra hi klekle, ikwuha na kpa ti memena.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won’t be harmed by the second death.
12 Hi ni Malaikan wa ahe ni Ikilisiyar Burgama ha buyi mba lan tre nde wa agji grigba inyu ha.
“To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
13 Mito whirji u son akon u ibusi nakyin u kame ndi gji nde mu gbagbame, har kyime u na kpa nde tro na, ni ton u Antifas wa akri gbagbame, wa kpa nyeme nime wa u hu'wa ni mi bin, ni whirji ibisri ni son.
“I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn’t deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
14 Iwhirji mina kpa nyeme ni wuna, wu biwa mba kpa tre Bilamu gji gbagba, wa a tsro Balak wa ti gpi u kgbu zan ni shishi imri Israila, ndi ri'ila wa nu ibrji wa mba lotsu.
But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
15 Nde mba ribi gji tre ni kolantawa gbagbame.
So also you likewise have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16 Aho na kyi ba bri konyu Rji miye gbagble me nda bi kon memen kyri na tsi ni mba ni ingji ba waahi ni ngu hi.
Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 Nde wa'a he nitu wo gpe wa ruhu si la ma Ikisiyoyi nde wa a kwuci mi nu ma'ana wa hri si niwan mi du titan kygle ni nde sa ma wa mba ha ni tu titan nde wa mba dro wa ato imba wa asi kpa mba.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows but he who receives it.
18 Hi ni malaika (fastoci) Ikilisiyar Tiya tira hai Biyi mba lan wa iver Rji tre, wa ahe shishi na igleme ilu; izama na idren nami lu.
“To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:
19 Mito gpe wa u si tie sonme, ni krime ni kngbagba me. mi to wa wu si tie ana gbrun konna ni gei u tie mumle na.
“I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
20 Whirji kni na kpa nyeme ni wu na wu bri iwa mba Yezebel wa ani yotun ma ndi iwawu watsu. nikon intsro ma ani gru nde mu ndi wa imba nde ni ri la wa mbanu iblis saraka.
But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
21 Mi nu ton ndi mle kon mene ma te wa ka'ina.
I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
22 Ya mi yo gbugbu kru wuls, nde wa awate wa ani ri bi meme yari, nda mba na bri krama, mena.
Behold, I will throw her and those who commit adultery with her into a bed of great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
23 Mi tsi imri ni kwu Ikilisiyoyi wawu mbato nde ni kon bi tie.
I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
24 Inbru bi wa hibe Tayatira biwa bi na gji tre mana, bina to gbi mbari yo ndi tre ibusi, bi yi mba kyi mina yoyi iyana.
But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira—as many as don’t have this teaching, who don’t know what some call ‘the deep things of Satan’—to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
25 A he nakyi kri gbagba hi niye mu.
Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
26 Nde wa akwuci nda si tie gpi wa asitie bi klekle ni klekol mini nikpan ni tu bi kpalan.
He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
27 Mi gji mba miwo karfa mi bra mba na rin memen.
He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots, as I also have received of my Father;
28 Ahe na mi kpa ni wowo timu imeme minu tsitse u ble.
and I will give him the morning star.
29 Ndel ahe ni ituwo ndiwo gpi asi la ni Ikilisiyoyi.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
