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 Ephesian church write; These things saith he who grasps the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh round 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 travail, and thy patience, and that thou canst not bear the wicked; and hast tried those who give themselves out as apostles, yet 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 exercised patience, and for my name sake hast endured great toil, and hast not fainted.
4 Tedae nangmih ah ka khueh tah nangmih kah lungnah lamhma te na hnawt uh.
Yet have I a charge against thee, that thou art gone back from 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 then from whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and practise thy first works; but if not, I am coming to thee quickly, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou repent.
6 Tedae Nikolaitan kah khoboe hmuhuet ham na khueh uh. Te te ka hmuhuet van.
But this thou holdest, that thou abhorrest the deeds of the Nicolatans, which I also abhor.
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 ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to 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 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 church of the Smyrnians write, These things saith the first and the last, who 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 thy tribulation, and thy poverty (though thou art rich), and the calumnies of those who say they are Jews, yet are not, but are Satan’s synagogue.
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 from the things which thou shalt suffer: lo! the devil will cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have a ten day’s tribulation: be thou faithful until 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 receive no injury from 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 church at Pergamos write, These things saith he who holdeth 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 thy works and where thou hast thy abode, even where Satan’s throne is erected: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days when Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was put to death 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.
Yet I have a few things against thee, that thou hast there some who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to lay a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, to eat of idol sacrifices, and to commit whoredom.
15 Nangmih khaw Nikolaitan rhoek kah thuituennah banghuila aka pom rhoek te na om uh van.
Thou hast also some who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which I abhor.
16 Te dongah yut laeh. Te pawt koinih na taengah tlek ka pawk vetih kamah kah thunglang neh amih te ka tloek ni.
Repent! but if not, I am coming to thee quickly, and will war against 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 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 I will give him a white pebble, and upon the pebble a new name inscribed, which no man knoweth except the person who 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 to the angel of the church which is at Thyatira write, These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like the molten 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 deeds, and thy love, and thy charity to the poor, and thy faith, and thy patience, and thy works, and that the last are more abundant 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.
Yet I have a few things against thee, because thou hast suffered that woman Jezabel, calling herself a prophetess, to teach, and to lead my servants into error, to commit whoredom, and eat the idol sacrifices.
21 Yut ham a tue khaw anih ka paek dae amah kah Cukhalnah te yut ham ngaih pawh.
And I gave her a space that she should repent of her whoredom, and she hath not repented.
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 am about to cast her on a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless 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 slay her children by death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you, even to every one, 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, and to the rest that are at Thyatira, as many as do not hold this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak, I will lay upon them no other burden.
25 Tedae na khueh uh te ka pawk hil atah ana tuu uh.
Nevertheless that which you have, 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 who overcometh, and perseveres in my works unto the end, 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.
he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as a potter’s vessels they shall be broken in pieces, even as I have received authority from 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 star of the morning.
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.
