Revelation 2
1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of Him who holds the seven stars in His right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands.
“Kumu ngelo wambungano yamu Efeso lemba boobu: Majwi ayooyo ujisi nyenyeezi zili musanu azibili mukuboko kwakwe kwalulyo alimwi ooyo weenda aakati kazibikilo zyamalampi aangolda zili musanu azibili,
2 I know your deeds, your labor, and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and you have tested and exposed as liars those who falsely claim to be apostles.
“Ndilizi milimo yako, kubeleka changuzu alubo alukakatilo lwako, akuti tubotelwi ababi, pesi wabasunka aabo balyaamba kuti mba Apositolo pesi kabatali mbabo pe, alimwi wabajana kabali basikubeja.
3 Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name.
Ulakakatila chakulansya moyo akunyampula zina lyangu, alimwi tukatede pe.
4 But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love.
Pesi biyo nchindaamba aanduwe nchakuti wakasiya luyando lwako lutaanzi.
5 Therefore, keep in mind how far you have fallen. Repent and perform the deeds you did at first. But if you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
Kuyeeya aboobo kuzwa aawo mpuwakawida. Sanduka akuchita zintu eezyo zwzkachita lutaanzi. Kunze kwakuti usanduke, ndiyoboola kulinduwe alimwi ndiyoogwisya chibikilo chalampi aabusena bwacho.
6 But you have this to your credit: You hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Pesi uli aacheechi: Usulide nchito zyaba Nikkolayiti, eezyo aandime nzindisulide.
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of life in the Paradise of God.
Akube kuti ooyo uli aakutwi, amvwe muuya nzyaambila mbungano. Kuli yooyo uzunda ndiyoomupa cheelelo chakuti akalye kumusamu wabuumi, ooyo uli mupaladayizi ya Leza.”
8 To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of the First and the Last, who died and returned to life.
“Kuli Angelo wambungano yaku Similina lemba boobu: 'Majwa ayooyo mutaanzi amamanino, ooyo wakalifwide pesi waba muumi lubo:
9 I know your affliction and your poverty—though you are rich! And I am aware of the slander of those who falsely claim to be Jews, but are in fact a synagogue of Satan.
“Ndilizi mapenzi aako abuchete bwako, pesi ulimuvubi. Ndilizi kuupawupa kwabaabo balyaamba kuti mba Juda, pesi tabali mbabo pe. Mbachikombelo cha Satani.
10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Utayoowi mapenzi aayo nguutafwabe kulanga! Simwaaba waamba kuwalilwa bamwi banu muntolongo kuchitila kuti mukasunkwe, alimwi muyoopenzegwa kwamazuba aali kkumi. Kusyomeka kusikila kulufu, alimwi ndiyookupa musini wabuumi.
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who overcomes will not be harmed by the second death.
Ooyo ulaakutwi: ngamvwe muuya nzyaamba ku mbungano. Ooyo uzunda taakwe kuyoochiswa pe kulufu lwabili
12 To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of the One who holds the sharp, double-edged sword.
“Kuli Angelo wambungano yamu Pegamamu lemba boobu: 'Mjwi ayooyo ujisi panga libosya koonse koonse:
13 I know where you live, where the throne of Satan sits. Yet you have held fast to My name and have not denied your faith in Me, even in the day when My faithful witness Antipas was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
“Ndilizi ooko nkukkala ooko chuuno cha Satani nkuchibede. Pesi ndijisilidi kuzina lyangu. Ndilizi kuti tulukakide pe lusyomo lwako kulindime, nikuba mumazuba a Antipasi kamboni wangu, uusyomekede kuli ndime, ooyo wakajayigwa akati kanu, ooko Satani nkwakkala.
14 But I have a few things against you, because some of you hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block before the Israelites so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality.
Pesi ndili aazintu ziche biyo atala anduwe: Ulaabo nkuko ooko bamwi bajisilidi kunjiisyo ya Bbalamu, bakayiisya Bbalaki kuwaala chilebyo kunembo lyabana ba Isilayilikuti balye zyakulyazipiliidwe kumizimu akuli basimamambe.
15 In the same way, some of you also hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Munzila njiyonya eeyo, ulaabo alimwi bamwi bajisilidi kunjisyo yaba Nikolayitani.
16 Therefore repent! Otherwise I will come to you shortly and wage war against them with the sword of My mouth.
Sanduka, aboobo! kuti waleka, ndiyoofwambaana kuboola kulinduwe, ndiyootanguna nkondo ambabo apanga mumulomo wangu.
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will give the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone inscribed with a new name, known only to the one who receives it.
Ooyo ulaakutwi, ngamvwe eezyo muuya nzyaamba kumbungano, kuli ooyo uzunda ndiyoomupa bbwe lituba lili azina pya lilembedwealindilyo aalindilyo, eelyo zina litakwe ulizi pesi ooyo alike ulitambula”
18 To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like a blazing fire and whose feet are like polished bronze.
“Kuli Angelo wambangano yamu Tiyatila lemba boobu: 'Aaya majwi aa Mwana wa Leza, ooyo uli ameso ali mbuli mabangabanga aamulilo azituta zyakwe mbuli mukuba upakulidwe:
19 I know your deeds—your love, your faith, your service, your perseverance—and your latter deeds are greater than your first.
“Ndilizi milimu yako: luyando alusyomo lwako ambukutawuka alukakatilo chakulamya moyo. Ndilizi kuti eezyo nzuwakachita muchiindi chayina ziinda nzuwakavhita lutaanz.
20 But I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads My servants to be sexually immoral and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
Pesi ndili acheechi atala aanduwe: Walekeleela mwanakazi Jezebbeli, ooyo ulyaamba kuti musinsimi kwiinda munjiisyo yakwe weena balanda bangu bumambi akulya zyakulya zyakapayilwa kuzikozyano.
21 Even though I have given her time to repent of her immorality, she is unwilling.
Ndakamupa chiindi chakusanduka, pesi tayandi pe kusanduka kumamambe aakwe.
22 Behold, I will cast her onto a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer great tribulation unless they repent of her deeds.
Laanga! ndiyoomuwalila abulo bwa mwamatenda abaabo bachita bumambi anguwe mumafwabi mapati, kunze kwakuti basanduke kunchito zyabo.
23 Then I will strike her children dead, and all the churches will know that I am the One who searches minds and hearts, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
Ndiyoobawuma akubajaya bana bakwe, alimwi zyoonse mbungano ziyooziba kuti ndime nindilinguluula mizeezo amoy. Ndiyoopaumwi awumwi mbuli nchito zyanu.
24 But I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned the so-called deep things of Satan: I will place no further burden upon you.
Pesi kuli nibamwi banu boonse bali mu Tiyatila, kuli woonse utajatisyi njiisyo mpawo katazi eezyo bamwi nzibaamba kuti zintu zisisikene zya Satani -kulinduwe ndaamba kuti tandibiki pe aambi makani alinduwe.'
25 Nevertheless, hold fast to what you have until I come.
Nikuba boobo kojatiliila mpawo aawo kusikila ndiboole.
26 And to the one who overcomes and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations.
Ooyo uzunda akubamba milimu yangu kusikila kumamanino, kuli yooyo ndiyoomupa nguzu aatala amisyobo yoonse.
27 He will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery —just as I have received authority from My Father.
Uyoobendelezya ankoli yalubulo, mbuli nongo zyabulongo uyoozipwasuula kuba zipanzi.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
Mbuli mbundakatambula kuli Taata, Andime ndiyoomupa nyenyeezi ntanda yakubuchedeo.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Ooyo ulaakutwi, ngamvwe muuya nzyaamba kumbungano.
