1 Ephisa hlangboel kah puencawn te daek pah. He he a bantang ah aisi parhih aka pom tih sui hmaitung parhih lakli ah aka pongpa long ni a thui.
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 Na khoboe neh thakthaenah khaw, na uehnah khaw, boethae rhoek na doe uh thai pawt ham khaw, amamih caeltueih rhoek ni aka ti rhoek te a hong a tak khaw na noem uh tih, amih kah laithae na ming uh khaw ka ming.
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 Uehnah khaw na khueh uh tih kai ming ham na yingyawn vaengah na thakthae uh pawh.
and endurest, and hast borne for my name's sake, and hast not wearied:
4 Tedae nangmih ah ka khueh tah nangmih kah lungnah lamhma te na hnawt uh.
but I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
5 Te dongah me lamkah na tlak uh khaw poek uh. Yut uh lamtah lamhma kah khoboe te saii laeh. Te pawt koinih nang kam paan vetih na hmaitung te a hmuen lamkah ka khoe ni. Na yut pawt koinih ne.
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 Tedae Nikolaitan kah khoboe hmuhuet ham na khueh uh. Te te ka hmuhuet van.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
7 Mueihla loh hlangboel taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh. Aka noeng tah Pathen kah Paradai ah aka om hingnah thing te caak ham ka paek ni.
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 Smyrna hlangboel kah puencawn te khaw daek pah. He he lamhma neh lamhnuk loh a thui. Amah tah aka duek la om tih hing coeng.
And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: These things says the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:
9 Nang kah phacip phabaem neh khodaeng te ka ming tedae kuirhang la na om. Te phoeiah amamih te Judah hlang la ka om aka ti rhoek kah soehsalnah khaw ka ming. Tedae om uh hae pawt tih Satan kah tunim la poeh uh.
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 Patang ham te rhih boeh. Nangmih noemcai ham nangmih khuikah te rhaithae loh thongim ah a hlak pawn ni ke. Khohnin hnin rha phacip phabaem na yook uh ni. Duek due uepom la om lah, hingnah rhuisam te nang kan paek ni.
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 Mueihla loh hlangboel taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh. Aka noeng tah paibae dueknah loh thae thil loengloeng mahpawh.
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 Pergamum hlangboel kah puencawn te khaw daek pah. Thunglang voeivang a haat la aka khueh loh he rhoek he a thui.
And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword:
13 Mela na om, Satan kah ngolkhoel tah mela a om te ka ming. Te phoeiah kai ming te na pom uh tih kai ah uepom ka laipai Antipa tue ah pataeng kai dongah tangnah te na hnawt pawh. Amah te nangmih taengah a ngawn coeng. Te ah te Satan loh kho a sak.
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 Tedae nangmih taengah bet ka khueh. Balaam kah thuituennah te aka pom rhoek te na om. Anih loh Israel ca rhoek hmaiah thangkui tung ham, mueirhol buh caak ham neh cukhalh ham te Balaak a caemtuh.
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 Nangmih khaw Nikolaitan rhoek kah thuituennah banghuila aka pom rhoek te na om uh van.
So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner.
16 Te dongah yut laeh. Te pawt koinih na taengah tlek ka pawk vetih kamah kah thunglang neh amih te ka tloek ni.
Repent therefore: but if not, I come to thee quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.
17 Mueihla loh hlangboel rhoek taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh. Aka noeng tah a thuh khuikah manna te amah ka paek ni. Lungcang bok khaw anih ka paek ni. Te lungcang soah ming thai a daek te aka doe rhoek pawt long tah a ming moenih.
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 Thyatira hlangboel kah puencawn te khaw daek pah. He he Pathen capa long ni a thui. A mik te tah hmai tak bangla, a kho tah rhohum ngo phek la a khueh.
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 Nang kah khoboe te khaw, lungnah te khaw, tangnah khaw, bibi neh na uehnah khaw, na khoboe te lamhma lakah hnukkhueng te muep ka ming.
I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thine endurance, and thy last works [to be] more than the first.
20 Tedae Jezebel nu na hlapham uh te nangmih taengah toel ham om. Anih loh amah te tonghmanu ni a ti. Te dongah ka sal rhoek te cukhalh sak ham neh mueirhol buh cah ham a thuituen tih a rhaithi thil.
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 Yut ham a tue khaw anih ka paek dae amah kah Cukhalnah te yut ham ngaih pawh.
And I gave her time that she should repent, and she will not repent of her fornication.
22 Anih te thingkong dongla ka voeih coeng he. Anih taengah aka samphaih rhoek te khaw, anih khoboe lamkah a yut uh pawt atah aka nah phacip phabaem khuiah ka pha sak ni.
Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,
23 A ca rhoek te khaw dueknah neh ka ngawn vetih a kuel neh a thin aka khe te kai ni tila hlangboel rhoek loh boeih a ming uh ni. Nangmih khaw namamih kah khoboe tarhing la rhip kan paek ni.
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 Tedae nangmih Thyatira kah aka hoei rhoek taengah ni ka thui. He kah thuituennah he hlang boeih loh a khueh moenih. Amih loh Satan kah oldung te a ming uh moenih. A ti uh bangla nangmih te hnorhih pakhat khaw kan naan thil moenih.
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 Tedae na khueh uh te ka pawk hil atah ana tuu uh.
but what ye have hold fast till I shall come.
26 Aka noeng neh kai kah khoboe hmakhah duela aka ngaithuen tah namtom rhoek soah saithainah ka paek ni.
And he that overcomes, and he that keeps unto the end my works, to him will I give authority over the nations,
27 Te vaengah amih te dikpo am a thaeh bangla thi conghol neh a dawn ni.
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 Kai khaw a pa taengkah ka dang vanbangla anih khaw aisi thuipa te ka paek ni.
and I will give to him the morning star.
29 Mueihla loh hlangboel rhoek taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
