Thupualakna 2
1 Ephesus Pawlpi i vantungmi kung ah hibang in at in; A ziatsang khut ah aksi sali a toai pa le kham meivakna sali sung ah a paipa in hibang in ci hi;
"To the minister of the Church in Ephesus write as follows: "'This is what He who holds the seven stars in the grasp of His right hand says--He who walks to and fro among the seven lampstands of gold.
2 Na zia le tong kong he hi, na sepna te le na thuakna te zong ka he hi, mihing pha ngawl te na san nop ngawl na thu: Sawltak te hi ngawl napi, Sawltak te ka hi uh hi, a ci te zong na sittel a, leilot thu a hi hunlam zong na he zo hi:
I know your doings and your toil and patient suffering. And I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, but have put to the test those who say that they themselves are Apostles but are not, and you have found them to be liars.
3 Na thuakna le ka min hang in thaneam ngawl in nasep haksa na sepna te zong ka he hi.
And you endure patiently and have borne burdens for My sake and have never grown weary.
4 Ahihang amasabel itna na nusiat hu in, kong mawsiat hi.
Yet I have this against you--that you no longer love Me as you did at first.
5 Tua ahikom amasabel na pu na mun mangil heak in a, ki sikkik in, taciang amasabel na sep te seamkik in; tabang in na seamkik bua ahile manlangtak in na kung ah kongpai tu a, na ki sikkik bua ahile na meivak sia a om mun pan in mundang ah ka khin tu hi.
Be mindful, therefore, of the height from which you have fallen. Repent at once, and act as you did at first, or else I will surely come and remove your lampstand out of its place--unless you repent.
6 Ahihang ka etsat Nicolaitans te nasep te, nangma in zong na ensan hi.
Yet this you have in your favor: you hate the doings of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Thaa in pawlpi te tung ah a son thu sia, bil a nei peuma in za tahen; Zawna a nga pa sia Pathian i paradise huan laizang a om nuntakna thingnga neak tu in pia tu hi.
"'Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. To him who overcomes I will give the privilege of eating the fruit of the Tree of Life, which is in the Paradise of God.'
8 Smyrna pawlpi i vantungmi tung ah hibang in at in; amasabel le a khakbel, thi in, a nungta pa in a son thu te hibang a hihi;
"To the minister of the Church at Smyrna write as follows: "'This is what the First and the Last says--He who died and has returned to life.
9 Na zia le tong le haksatna, na zawnkhalna (ahihang mihau na hihi) te ka he hi, Judah minam hi ngawl napi Judah minam ka hi uh hi a ci te, Satan i synagogue te in hong zawnsakna zong ka he hi.
Your sufferings I know, and your poverty--but you are rich--and the evil name given you by those who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are Satan's synagogue.
10 Na thuak tu te lau heak in: en vun, note ze-et tu in Satan in mi pawlkhat te thong sung hong khia tu a, haksatna ni sawm sung na thuak tu uh hi; thina ciangdong thuman in om vun, nuntakna kham lukhu kong pia tu hi.
Dismiss your fears concerning all that you are about to suffer. I tell you that the Devil is about to throw some of you into prison that you may be put to the test, and for ten days you will have to endure persecution. Be faithful to the End, even if you have to die, and then I will give you the victor's Wreath of Life.
11 Thaa in pawlpi te tung ah a son thu te bil a nei peuma in za tahen; Zawna a nga pa sia ni vei thina in susia nawn ngawl tu hi.
"'Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. He who overcomes shall be in no way hurt by the Second Death.'
12 Pergamos pawlpi i vantungmi tung ah hibang in at in; langni hiam namsau a nei pa in, hi thu te hong son hi;
"To the minister of the Church at Pergamum write as follows: "'This is what He who has the sharp, two-edged sword says. I know where you dwell.
13 Na zia le tong, na om na mun le Satan tokhum om na mun ciang dong na ngawn ka he hi: ka min khotak in na len a, keima nong upna zong a thuman martyr Antipas sia Satan omna mun ah thalup a thuak laitak zong ka upna na nial bua hi.
Satan's throne is there; and yet you are true to Me, and did not deny your faith in Me, even in the days of Antipas My witness and faithful friend, who was put to death among you, in the place where Satan dwells.
14 Ahihang nangma kong mawsak na thu tawm om hi, na mite sung ah Balaam hilna a zui te om hi, milim tung ah biakpiakna sa neak tu le paktat mawna vawt a, lutu thei natu sia Israel tate mai ah koi tu in Balaam in Balak hil hi.
Yet I have a few things against you, because you have with you some that cling to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling-block in the way of the descendants of Israel--to eat what had been sacrificed to idols, and commit fornication.
15 Ka etsat Nicolaitans hilna a zui te zong om hi.
So even you have some that cling in the same way to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16 Na ki sikkik bale; manlangtak in kongpai tu a, ka kam sung a om namsau taw amate ka do tu hi.
Repent, at once; or else I will come to you quickly, and will make war upon them with the sword which is in My mouth.
17 Thaa in pawlpi te tung ah a son thu sia bil nei peuma in za tahen; Zawna a nga pa sia a ki phualseal manna neak tu ka pia tu a, min thak a ki at suangkang khat zong ka pia tu hi, tua in a sangte simngawl kuama in a he bua hi.
"'Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. He who overcomes--to him I will give some of the hidden Manna, and a white stone; and--written upon the stone and known only to him who receives it-- a new name.'
18 Thyatira pawlpi i vantungmi tung ah hibang in at in; a mit meikuang bang le a peang tau ngo a nei Pathian Tapa in hibang in ci hi;
"To the minister of the Church at Thyateira write as follows: "'This is what the Son of God says--He who has eyes like a flame of fire, and feet resembling silver-bronze.
19 Na zia le tong le na itna, na sepna, na upna le na thuakna te ka he hi; a khakbel na nasepna te sia a masabel sang in tam zaw hi, ci zong ka he hi.
I know your doings, your love, your faith, your service, and your patient endurance; and that of late you have toiled harder than you did at first.
20 Ahihang nangma kong mawsak na thu tawm om hi, banghangziam cile ama le ama kamsang nu, a kici tawm nupi Jezebel thu taw kisai in dualthong ni hi, ama in ka sal te paktat mawna vawt tu le milim te tung ah biakpiakna sa neak tu theam in hil hi.
Yet I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and by her teaching leads astray My servants, so that they commit fornication and eat what has been sacrificed to idols.
21 Paktat mawna pan ki sikkik tu in hun kong pia napi; na ki sikkik tuan bua hi.
I have given her time to repent, but she is determined not to repent of her fornication.
22 En in, a mawna pan a kisik nuam bua ahile lupna tung ah kong vawk tu a, ama taw paktat mawna a vawt te zong haksatna lianpi sung ah ka vawk tu hi.
I tell you that I am about to cast her upon a bed of sickness, and I will severely afflict those who commit adultery with her, unless they repent of conduct such as hers.
23 A tate ka that tu a; pawlpi theampo in Keima sia nauta le thinsung a en pa ka hihi, ci hong he tu uh hi: na sep uh bangtek in hong pia kik tu hi.
Her children too shall surely die; and all the Churches shall come to know that I am He who searches into men's inmost thoughts; and to each of you I will give a requital which shall be in accordance with what your conduct has been.
24 Ahihang nangma le hi hilna a zui gnawl Thyatira mite, amate ka son bang in Satan thuku a he ngawl te tung ah, vanngit dang kong suan batu hi.
But to you, the rest of you in Thyateira, all who do not hold this teaching and are not the people who have learnt the "deep things," as they call them (the deep things of Satan!) --to you I say that I lay no other burden on you.
25 Ahihang na neisa uh sia kongpai kik dong khotak in lenkip tavun.
Only that which you already possess, cling to until I come.
26 Zawna nga te le a tawpdong ka nasep a seamsuak peuma, minam theampo tung ah vangletna ka pia tu hi:
"'And to him who overcomes and obeys My commands to the very end, I will give authority over the nations of the earth.
27 Ama in thik ciangkhut taw hong uk tu a; beal vawtpa i beal te bang in tamtham siat tu hi: Ka Pa tung pan ka san vangletna taw kibang tu hi.
And he shall be their shepherd, ruling them with a rod of iron, just as earthenware jars are broken to pieces; and his power over them shall be like that which I Myself have received from My Father;
28 Taciang ama sia zingsol ka pia tu hi.
and I will give him the Morning Star.
29 Thaa i pawlpi te tung a son thu te bil nei peuma in za tahen.
Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'
