Lokphong 2
1 Efisa ah kaom van kami kricabu khaeah hae tiah tarik ah; a bantang banah cakaeh sarihto patawn, sui hoi sak ih hmai paaanghaih salakah amkae kami mah hae lok hae thuih:
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 tok na sakhaih, tha na pathokhaih, na pauephaihnawk to ka panoek; kahoih ai kaminawk to na khen sut ai: patoeh ih kami na ai to mah, patoeh ih kami baktiah angsahcop kaminawk to na tanoek moe, nihcae loe amsawnlok thui kami ni, tiah nam tuengsak:
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 Ka hmin pongah raihaih na tongh, amtanghaih to na pauep, toe tha na zok ai.
And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4 Toe hmaloe ih amlunghaih to na caehtaak pongah, na nuiah koeh ai ih hmuen ka tawnh.
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5 To pongah nam timhaih ahmuen to pahnet hmah, dawnpakhuem ah loe, na sak hmaloe ih toknawk to sah ah; to tiah na dawnpakhuem ai nahaeloe, nang khaeah karangah kang zoh moe, na hmaithaw to a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah ka tahruet ving han.
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 Toe kahoih hmuen na tawnh, kaimah doeh ka hnukma ih, Nikolaitan kaminawk mah sak o ih hmuennawk to na hnukma toeng.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Naa tawn kami loe, Muithla mah kricaabunawk khaeah thuih ih lok to tahngai nasoe; Sithaw ih paradise um ah kaom hinghaih thingkung to caak hanah, pazawk kami khaeah ka paek han.
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 Smyrna ah kaom van kami kricaabu khaeah hae tiah tarik ah; hmaloe koek hoi hnukkhuem koekah kaom, kadueh moe, kahing let Anih mah hae loknawk hae thuih;
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 na tok sakhaih, na patangkhanghaih, nam tanghaih (toe nang loe angraeng ah ni na oh) to ka panoek; Judah kami ai to mah Judah kami ah angsahcop, Sineko ah kaom Setan ih kaminawk mah kasae thuih o ih loknawk doeh ka panoek.
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 Patang na khang han kaom hmuennawk to zii hmah: khenah, nang to tanoek hanah, taqawk mah nangcae thung ih thoemto kaminawk to thongim pakhrah tih; ni hato thung patangkhanghaih to na tongh o tih: duek khoek to oep kathok ah om oh, hinghaih sui lumuek to kang paek o han.
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 Naa tawn kami loe, kricaabunawk khaeah Muithla mah thuih ih lok to tahngai nasoe; pazawk kami loe vaihnetto duekhaih mah nganbawh kana paek mak ai.
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 Pergamo ah kaom van kami kricaabu khaeah hae tiah tarik ah; ahnuk ahmaa kanoe sumsen katawn Anih mah hae loknawk hae thuih;
And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
13 na tok sakhaih, na ohhaih ahmuen hoi Setan anghnuthaih tangkhang ohhaih ahmuen to ka panoek: nangcae salak ih Setan ohhaih ahmuen ah, oep kaom Kai ih kami Antipa hum o nathuem ah, Ka hmin to kacakah na patawnh, Kai tanghaih na caehtaak ai.
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 Toe Israel caanawk nihcae hmaa ah amtimh o moe, krang bokhaih buhcaak khue ai ah, nongpa nongpata zaehaih sak o hanah, Balak patukkung, Balaam mah patuk ih lok pazui kaminawk nangcae khaeah oh o pongah, na nuiah koeh ai ih hmuen zetta ka tawnh.
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 To baktih toengah ka hnukma ih, Nikolaitan kaminawk mah patuk ih lok pazui kaminawk doeh nangcae thungah oh o.
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
16 Dawnpakhuem ah, to tih ai nahaeloe karangah nang khae kang zoh moe, ka pakha thung ih sumsen hoiah nihcae to ka tuk han.
Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 Naa tawn kami loe, kricaabunawk khaeah Muithla mah thuih ih lok to tahngai nasoe; pazawk kami hanah loe hawk ih manna to caak hanah ka paek han, kahak kami khue mah ai ah loe, mi mah doeh panoek ai ih, a nuiah ahmin kangtha tarik ih thlung, thlung kanglung maeto anih hanah ka paek han.
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 Thyatira ah kaom vankami kricaabu khaeah hae tiah tarik ah; hmaipalai baktiah kaom mik, kampha sum kamling baktiah kaom khok katawn, Sithaw Capa mah hae loknawk hae thuih;
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 na sak ih toknawk, amlunghaih, toksakhaih, tanghaih, na toksakhaih hoi palungsawkhaih to ka panoek; na sak hmaloe ih tok pongah hnukkhuem ah na sak ih tok to pop kue.
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 Toe ka tamnanawk nongpa nongpata zaehaih saksak hanah patuk moe, krang bokhaih buhcaak hanah pacuek, angmah hoi angmah to kai loe tahmaa nongpata maeto ah ni ka oh, tiah kathui nongpata Jezebel to na pakaa ai na khet sut pongah, na nuiah koeh ai ih hmuen zetta ka tawnh.
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 Nongpa nongpata zae sakhaih thung hoiah a dawnpakhuem hanah anih to atue ka paek, toe anih mah dawnpakhuem ai.
And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22 To pongah khenah, anih to ngannathaih iihkhun nuiah ka vah han, anih hoi zaehaih sah kaminawk doeh a sak o ih hmuennawk pongah dawnpakhuem o ai nahaeloe, kanung parai patangkhanghaih thungah ka vah han.
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 Anih ih caanawk to ka hum han; to naah ni kricaabunawk boih mah Kai loe kami ih palungthin pakrong Anih ah ka oh, tiah panoek o tih: na sak o ih tok baktih toengah kang paek o han.
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 Thoem to kaminawk mah kathuk Setan ih hmuennawk, tiah thuih o ih hmuennawk to panoek ai kami, to baktih amtukhaih tawn ai kaminawk hoi kanghmat Thyatira kaminawk khaeah loe, Nangcae nuiah kalah hmuenzit ka koeng mak ai, tiah ka thuih.
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 Na tawnh o ih hmuen to kang zo ai karoek to kacakah patawn oh.
But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26 Pazawk kami hoi boeng khoek to kai ih toksah kami hanah loe acaeng kaminawk ukthaihaih to ka paek han:
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27 kam Pa khae hoi ka hnuk ih baktih toengah, Anih mah acaeng kaminawk to sumboeng hoiah uk tih; nihcae loe laom kakoi baktiah koi o tih.
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 Anih hanah akhawnbang cakaeh to ka paek han.
And I will give him the morning star.
29 Naa tawn kami loe, Muithla mah kricaabunawk khaeah thuih ih lok to tahngai nasoe.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
