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 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 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 Uehnah khaw na khueh uh tih kai ming ham na yingyawn vaengah na thakthae uh pawh.
And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4 Tedae nangmih ah ka khueh tah nangmih kah lungnah lamhma te na hnawt uh.
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because 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 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 Tedae Nikolaitan kah khoboe hmuhuet ham na khueh uh. Te te ka hmuhuet van.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, 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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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 hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
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 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 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, 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 Nangmih khaw Nikolaitan rhoek kah thuituennah banghuila aka pom rhoek te na om uh van.
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
16 Te dongah yut laeh. Te pawt koinih na taengah tlek ka pawk vetih kamah kah thunglang neh amih te ka tloek ni.
Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

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 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 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 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 charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last 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.
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 Yut ham a tue khaw anih ka paek dae amah kah Cukhalnah te yut ham ngaih pawh.
And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
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 will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
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 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 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 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 Tedae na khueh uh te ka pawk hil atah ana tuu uh.
But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26 Aka noeng neh kai kah khoboe hmakhah duela aka ngaithuen tah namtom rhoek soah saithainah ka paek ni.
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27 Te vaengah amih te dikpo am a thaeh bangla thi conghol neh a dawn ni.
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 Kai khaw a pa taengkah ka dang vanbangla anih khaw aisi thuipa te ka paek ni.
And I will give him the morning star.
29 Mueihla loh hlangboel rhoek taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
