Chivumbulutso 2
1 “Lembera mngelo wa mpingo wa ku Efeso kuti: Awa ndi mawu ochokera kwa amene ali ndi nyenyezi zisanu ndi ziwiri zija mʼdzanja lake lamanja amene akuyenda pakati pa zoyikapo nyale zisanu ndi ziwiri zagolide.
To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamps:
2 Ine ndimadziwa zochita zako, ntchito yako yowawa ndi kupirira kwako. Ine ndimadziwa kuti sungalekerere anthu oyipa amene amadzitcha atumwi pamene sichoncho, unawayesa, ndipo unawapeza kuti ndi abodza.
I know thy works and [thy] labour, and thine endurance, and that thou canst not bear evil [men]; and thou hast tried them who say that themselves [are] apostles and are not, and hast found them liars;
3 Iwe wapirira ndipo wakumana ndi zovuta chifukwa cha dzina langa, ndipo sunatope.
and endurest, and hast borne for my name's sake, and hast not wearied:
4 Komabe ndili ndi chotsutsana nawe: Wataya chikondi chako chapoyamba.
but I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
5 Kumbukirani kuti munagwa kuchokera patali. Lapa ndikuchita zinthu zimene unkachita poyamba. Ngati sulapa ndidzabwera ndikukuchotsera choyikapo nyale chako pamalo pake.
Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works: but if not, I am coming to thee, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou shalt repent.
6 Komabe chokomera chako ndi chakuti umadana ndi zochita za Anikolai, zimene Inenso ndimadana nazo.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
7 Amene ali ndi makutu, amve zimene Mzimu akuwuza mipingo. Amene adzapambana, ndidzamupatsa ufulu wakudya zipatso za mtengo wopatsa moyo umene uli ku paradizo wa Mulungu.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God.
8 “Lembera mngelo wa mpingo wa ku Simurna kuti: Awa ndi mawu ochokera kwa amene ndi Woyamba ndi Wotsiriza, amene anafa nʼkukhalanso ndi moyo.
And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: These things says the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:
9 Ine ndimadziwa masautso ako ndi umphawi wako, chonsecho ndiwe wolemera! Ndikudziwa zimene amakusinjirira anthu amene amati ndi Ayuda pamene sizili choncho, koma ndi a mpingo wa Satana.
I know thy tribulation and thy poverty; but thou art rich; and the railing of those who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but a synagogue of Satan.
10 Musachite mantha ndi zimene muti musauke nazo posachedwapa. Ndithu, Satana adzayika ena a inu mʼndende pofuna kukuyesani, ndipo mudzazunzika kwa masiku khumi. Khalani okhulupirika ngakhale zitafika pa imfa, ndipo Ine ndidzakupatsani chipewa cha ulemerero wamoyo.
Fear nothing [of] what thou art about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast 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 to thee the crown of life.
11 Amene ali ndi makutu, amve zimene Mzimu akuwuza mipingo. Amene adzapambana sadzapwetekedwa ndi pangʼono pomwe ndi imfa yachiwiri.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He that overcomes shall in no wise be injured of the second death.
12 “Lembera mngelo wa mpingo wa ku Pergamo kuti: Awa ndi mawu ochokera kwa amene ali ndi lupanga lakuthwa konsekonse.
And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword:
13 Iye akuti, ‘Ine ndimadziwa kumene mumakhala, kumene kuli mpando waufumu wa Satana. Komabe inu ndinu okhulupirika kwa Ine. Simunataye chikhulupiriro chanu pa Ine, ngakhale mʼmasiku a Antipa, mboni yanga yokhulupirika, amene anaphedwa mu mzinda wanu, kumene amakhala Satana.
I know where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan [is]; and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness [was], who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.
14 Komabe, ndili ndi zinthu zingapo zotsutsana nanu. Kumeneko muli ndi anthu ena amene amatsata ziphunzitso za Balaamu, uja amene anaphunzitsa Baraki kukopa Aisraeli kuti azidya nsembe zoperekedwa ku mafano ndi kumachita chigololo.
But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat [of] idol sacrifices and commit fornication.
15 Chimodzimodzinso inuyo muli ndi ena amene amatsatira ziphunzitso za Anikolai.
So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner.
16 Tsono tembenukani mtima. Mukapanda kutero, ndidzabwera kwanuko posachedwa ndipo ndidzachita nanu nkhondo ndi lupanga lotuluka mʼkamwa mwanga lija.
Repent therefore: but if not, I come to thee quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.
17 Amene ali ndi makutu, amve zimene Mzimu akuwuza mipingo. Kwa amene adzapambane ndidzamupatsa chakudya chobisika cha mana. Ndidzamupatsanso mwala woyera wolembedwapo dzina latsopano, lodziwa iye yekha amene walandirayo.’”
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of the hidden manna; and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that receives [it].
18 “Lembera mngelo wampingo wa ku Tiyatira kuti: Awa ndi mawu ochokera kwa Mwana wa Mulungu, amene maso ake ali ngati moto woyaka ndi mapazi ake ngati chitsulo chonyezimira.
And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, he that has his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass:
19 Iye akuti: Ndimadziwa ntchito zanu, chikondi chanu ndi chikhulupiriro chanu, kutumikira kwanu ndi kupirira kwanu. Ndikudziwa tsopano kuti ntchito zanu ndi zabwino kuposa zoyamba zija.
I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thine endurance, and thy last works [to be] more than the first.
20 Komabe ndili ndi chinthu chokudzudzula nacho. Umamulekerera mkazi uja Yezebeli amene amadzitcha yekha kuti ndi mneneri. Iye amaphunzitsa atumiki anga kuti azichita zadama ndi kumadya zansembe zoperekedwa ku mafano.
But I have against thee that thou permittest the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself prophetess, and she teaches and leads astray my servants to commit fornication and eat of idol sacrifices.
21 Ndamupatsa nthawi kuti aleke zachigololo zake koma sakufuna.
And I gave her time that she should repent, and she will not repent of her fornication.
22 Tsono ndidzamugwetsa mʼmasautso ndipo amene amachita naye zadama zakezo ndidzawasautsa kwambiri akapanda kulapa ndi kuleka njira za mkaziyo.
Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,
23 Ana ake ndidzawakantha ndi kuwapheratu. Kotero mipingo yonse idzadziwa kuti Ine ndine uja amene ndimafufuza mʼmitima mwa anthu ndi mʼmaganizo mwawo. Aliyense wa inu ndidzachita naye monga mwa ntchito zake.
and her children will I kill with death; and all the assemblies shall know that I am he that searches [the] reins and [the] hearts; and I will give to you each according to your works.
24 Tsopano ndikunena kwa enanu a ku Tiyatira, kwa inu amene simunatsate chiphunzitso cha mkaziyo ndipo simunaphunzire zimene iwo amati ndi ‘zinsinsi zonama’ za Satana. Kwa inu mawu anga ndi akuti sindikuwunjikirani malamulo ena.
But to you I say, the rest who [are] in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I do not cast upon you any other burden;
25 Inu mungogwiritsa zimene munaphunzira basi, mpaka Ine ndidzabwere.
but what ye have hold fast till I shall come.
26 Amene adzapambana ndi kuchita chifuniro changa mpaka kumapeto, ndidzamupatsa ulamuliro pa mitundu yonse ya anthu.
And he that overcomes, and he that keeps unto the end my works, to him will I give authority over the nations,
27 Adzayilamulira ndi ndodo yachitsulo ndipo nadzayiphwanyaphwanya ngati mbiya. Ulamuliro umenewu ndi omwe ndinalandira kwa Atate anga.
and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; as vessels of pottery are they broken in pieces, as I also have received from my Father;
28 Ine ndidzamupatsanso nthanda, nyenyezi yowala mʼmamawa ija.
and I will give to him the morning star.
29 Amene ali ndi makutu, amve zimene Mzimu akuwuza mipingo.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
