< Revelation 2 >

1 “To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: “He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lamp stands says these things:
Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Efeso jhandikayi: 'Agha ndo malobhi gha jhola jhaikamu ila matonda ghala saba mu kibhoko kya muene kya kuume. Muene jhaigenda mu finara fya dhahabu fya taa saba ijobha naha,”
2 “I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.
“Nimanyili kyaukhelili ni bidii jha jhobhi jha mbombo ni uvumilivu bhwa jhobhi thabiti, ni kwamba ghwibhwesya lepi kuhusiana nabhu bhabhajhele bhaovu, na ubhajaribu bhoha bhabhikikuta kujha mitume kumbe lepi, na bhabhonekene kujha bhadesi.
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
Nimanyili kujha ujhe ni subira ni uvumilivu, na ubhwesi ghamehele kwa ndabha jha lihina lya nene, na utondilepi bado.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
Lakini ele ndo lyanijhe nalu dhidi jha jhobhi, ughulekili upendo ghwa jhobhi bhwa kubhwandelu.
5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.
Kwa hiyo ukhombokayi pa ubinili, ukatubuajhi ni kubhomba matendo ghaubhombeghe kuh'omela kubhuandu. Ukabelayi kutubu, nibeta kuhida kwa bhebhe ni kukibhosya kinara kya jhobhi kuh'oma mahali pa kyene.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Lakini bhebhe ujhe ni ele, ghwidada ghala ambagho Bhanikolai bhaghabhombili, ambagho hata ni ghadadili.
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.
Kama ujhe ni mb'olokoto, pelekesiajhi ghala ambagho Roho akaghajobhela makanisa. Na jhaibeta kushinda nibeta kumpela kibali kya kulya kuhoma mu libehe lya uzima lyajhele mu Paradiso jha K'yara.'
8 “To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
“Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Smirna jhandikayi: 'Agha ndo malobhi gha jhola. ambajhe ndo mwanzo ni mwishu ambajhe afuili ni kujha hai kabhele:
9 “I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
“Nimanyili malombosi ghako ni umaskini bhwa jhobhi (lakini bhebhe ndo tajiri), ni udesi bhwa bhala bhabhikikuta bhayahudi (lakini lepi - bhene ndo sinagogi lya syetani).
10 Do not be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Usitili malombosi ghaghibeta kukabha. Langayi! Ibilisi ilonda kubhatagha baadhi jha muenga muligereza ili mubhwesiajhi kujaribibhwa, na mwibeta kutesibhwa kwa magono kumi. Mujhelayi mwebhaaminifu hadi kufwa, na nibeta kubhapela taji jha uzima.
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes will not be harmed by the second death.
Kama ujhe ni mb'olokoto, pelekesiajhi Roho kyaakaghajobhela makanisa. Muene jha ibeta kushinda ibetalepi kukabha mauti gha pili.'
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Pergamo jhandikayi: 'Agha ndo ghaijobha muene jhaajhe ni upanga obhu mkali, bhwabhujhe ni makali kubhele.
13 “I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and did not deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
“Nimanyili mahali paghwitama mahali pa kijhele kiti kya enzi kya shetani. Hata naha bhebhe ulikamuili sana lihina lya nene, na ghwajhibelili lepi imani jha jhobhi jhaijhele kwa nene hata magono ghala gha Antipasi shahidi ghwa nene, mwaminifu ghwa nene, jhaakhomibhu miongoni mwa jhomu, apu ndo syetani itama.
14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
Lakini nijheni mambo madebe dhidi jha bhebhe: ujhe nabhu okhu bhanu bhabhikamula mafundisu gha Balaamu, muene jhaamfundisi Balaki kubheka fikwazo palongolo jha bhene bha Israeli ili bhaliajhi fyakulya fya fipisibhu sadaka kwa masieto ni kuzini.
15 So also you likewise have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Mu hali ejhu hata bhebhe ujhe ni baadhi jha bhene bhikamula mafundisu gha Bhanikolai.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Basi tubuajhi! Na ubelili kukheta naha, nihida manyata, na nibeta kukheta vita dhidi jha bhene kwa upanga bhwa bhwihomela mu kinywa kya nene.
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows but he who receives it.
Kama ujhe ni mb'olokoto, pelekesiajhi Roho kya ikabhajobhela makanisa. Muene jha ibeta kushinda nibeta kumpela baadhi jha jhela mana jhajhafighibhu, kabhele nibeta kumpela liganga libhalabhu lya litembibhu lihina lipya panani pa liganga, lihina ambalya ajhelepi jha alimanyili isipokujha muene jhaakalipokela.'
18 “To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:
Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Thiatira jhandikayi: “Agha ndo malobhi gha mwana ghwa K'yara, muene jha ajhe ni mihu gha muene kama mwali ghwa muoto, ni jhayu kama shaba jhajhisugulibhu nasu:
19 “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
Nimanyili gha ubhombili - upendo bhwa jhobhi ni imani ni huduma ni uvumilivu bhwa jhobhi thabiti, ni kujha khela kya ukhetili naha karibuni ndo zaidi jha khela kya abhombili kubhuandu.
20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
Lakini nijhe ni e'le dhidi jha bhebhe: ukamvumilila n'dala Yezebeli jhaikikuta muene nabii n'dala. Kwa mafundisu gha muene, akabhapotosya bhatumishi bha nene kuzini ni kulya kyakulya kya kipisibhu sadaka kwa sanamu.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
Nampelili muda bhwa kutubu, lakini ajhelepi tayari kutubila uovu bhwa muene.
22 Behold, I will throw her and those who commit adultery with her into a bed of great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
Langayi! Nibetakun'tagha mu kitanda kya maradhi, ni bhala bhabhibhomba uasherati naku mu malombosi makali, vinginevyo bhatubuajhi kwa kyabhakhetili.
23 I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
Nibeta kubhatobha bhana bhabhi bhafuajhi ni makanisa ghoha ghibetakumanya nene ndo nikaghalangilila mawazo ni tamaa. Nibeta kumpela khila mmonga bhinu kadri jha matendo gha muene.
24 But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira—as many as do not have this teaching, who do not know what some call ‘the deep things of Satan’—to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
Lakini kwa baadhi jha muenga jhamubakili mu Thiatira, kwa bhala mwebhoha jha mkamuili lepi lifundisu e'le, na jha mumanyilepi khela ambakyo baadhi bhikuta mafumbo gha shetani, nijobha kwa muenga, 'Nibeta lepi kubheka kwa muenga n'sighu ghoghuoha ghola.'
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
Kwa lijambo lyolyoha, lazima mujhelayi imara mpaka panibeta kuhida.
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
Jhejhioha jhaibeta kushinda ni kubhomba khela kya nibhomba I mpaka kumwisu, muene nibeta kumpela mamlaka panani pa mataifa.
27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots, as I also have received of my Father;
'Ibetakubhatawala kwa ndongo jha chuma, kama makaburi gha udongo, ibetakubhatenya fipandi.'
28 and I will give him the morning star.
Kama kyanipokili kuhoma kwa Dadi jhangu, nibeta kumpela kabhele litondo lya lukhela.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Ukajhelayi ni mb'olokoto, pelekesiajhi khela ambakyo Roho akaghajobhela makanisa.'
