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.
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Efeso wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo akwata emmunyeenye omusanvu mu ngalo ze mu mukono gwe ogwa ddyo, oyo atambulira wakati w’ebikondo by’ettaala omusanvu ebya zaabu.
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.
Nti mmanyi ebikolwa byo n’okugumiikiriza kwo, era nga tosobola kugumiikiriza bakozi ba bibi era ng’ogezesezza abo abeeyita abatume n’obavumbula nga balimba.
3 Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name.
Era ogumiikirizza okubonaabona n’oguma olw’erinnya lyange, n’otokoowa.
4 But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love.
Naye nnina ensonga gye nkuvunaana: tokyanjagala nga bwe wanjagalanga edda.
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.
Noolwekyo jjukira we waseeseetuka. Weenenye, onjagale nga bwe wanjagalanga edda. Naye bw’otookole bw’otyo ndijja gy’oli ne nzigyawo ekikondo ky’ettaala yo mu kifo kyakyo, okuggyako nga weenenya.
6 But you have this to your credit: You hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Wabula ekirungi ekikuliko kye kino: okyawa ebikolwa by’Abanikolayitinga nange bwe mbikyawa.
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.
Alina amatu, awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo. Oyo awangula ndimuwa okulya ku muti ogw’obulamu oguli mu nnimiro ya Katonda.
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.
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Sumuna wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera Owoolubereberye era Owenkomerero eyali afudde oluvannyuma n’azuukira n’aba mulamu,
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.
nti mmanyi okubonaabona kwo n’obwavu bwo, naye ng’oli mugagga, era n’okulimirira kw’abo abeeyita Abayudaaya songa ssi Bayudaaya, wabula kuŋŋaaniro lya Setaani.
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.
Temutya n’akatono ebyo bye mugenda okubonaabona. Laba Setaani anaatera okusiba abamu ku mmwe mu makomera okubagezesa. Muliyigganyizibwa okumala ennaku kumi ddamba. Mubeere beesigwa okutuusa okufa, nange ndibawa engule ey’obulamu.
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.
Alina amatu, awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo. Oyo awangula talifa mulundi gwakubiri.
12 To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of the One who holds the sharp, double-edged sword.
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’e Perugamo wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo alina ekitala ekyogi eky’obwogi obubiri
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.
nti, Mmanyi gy’obeera awo awali entebe y’obwakabaka bwa Setaani, kyokka ng’onywezezza erinnya lyange era wasigala n’okukkiriza kwo, ne mu biseera Antipa omujulirwa wange omwesigwa mwe yattirwa wakati mu mmwe, eyo Setaani gy’abeera.
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.
Naye nkulinako ensonga ntono: eyo olinayo ab’enjigiriza eya Balamu eyayigiriza Balaki okutega abaana ba Isirayiri omutego n’abaliisa ennyama ey’omuzizo eyassaddaakirwa eri bakatonda abalala, era n’okwenda.
15 In the same way, some of you also hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Ate era olinayo n’abakkiririza mu njigiriza y’Abanikolayiti.
16 Therefore repent! Otherwise I will come to you shortly and wage war against them with the sword of My mouth.
Noolwekyo weenenye, bw’otookikole ndijja mangu ne nnwanyisa abantu abo n’ekitala eky’omu kamwa kange.
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.
Alina amatu, awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo. Oyo awangula ndimuwa ku maanu eyakwekebwa. Era ndimuwa ejjinja eryeru eriwandiikiddwako erinnya eriggya eritamanyiddwa muntu mulala yenna wabula oyo aliweereddwa.”
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.
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Suwatira wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera Omwana wa Katonda, oyo alina amaaso agali ng’ennimi ez’omuliro, n’ebigere ebimasamasa ng’ekikomo ekizigule
19 I know your deeds—your love, your faith, your service, your perseverance—and your latter deeds are greater than your first.
nti, Mmanyi ebikolwa byo, n’okwagala kwo, n’okukkiriza kwo, n’obutuukirivu bwo, n’okugumiikiriza kwo, era n’ebikolwa byo eby’oluvannyuma bisinga ebyasooka.
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.
Kyokka nkulinako ensonga eno. Ogumiikiriza omukazi Yezeberi eyeeyita nnabbi omukazi akyamya abaweereza bange ng’abayigiriza obwenzi n’okulya emmere eweereddwayo eri bakatonda abalala.
21 Even though I have given her time to repent of her immorality, she is unwilling.
Namuwa ekiseera yeenenye, kyokka tayagala kwenenya bwenzi bwe.
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.
Laba, ndimulwaza obulwadde obulimusuula ku ndiri, era n’abo baayenda nabo mbatuuse ku bulumi obw’amaanyi, okuggyako nga beenenyezza ebikolwa byabwe.
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.
Era nditta abaana be. Olwo Ekkanisa zonna ziryoke zitegeere nti nkebera emitima n’ebirowoozo era ndibasasula ng’ebikolwa byabwe bwe biri.
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.
Kale mmwe abalala abali mu Suwatira abatagoberera kuyigiriza kuno abatamanyi bintu bya Setaani eby’obuziba ng’enjogera bw’egamba, sigenda kubassaako mugugu mulala.
25 Nevertheless, hold fast to what you have until I come.
Wabula munyweze nnyo kye mulina okutuusa lwe ndijja.
26 And to the one who overcomes and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations.
Oyo aliwangula era n’oyo alisigala ng’akola emirimu gyange okutuusa ku nkomerero, ndimuwa obuyinza okufuga amawanga.
27 He will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery —just as I have received authority from My Father.
‘Alibafuga n’omuggo ogw’ekyuma, n’abayasaayasa ng’ayasaayasa ebibya eby’ebbumba.’
28 And I will give him the morning star.
Era ndimuwa emmunyeenye ey’enkya nga nange bwe nagiweebwa Kitange.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.
