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.
“Hwa ntumi bhe kanisa elya Efeso simba: 'Ege mazu egola ya khatilie zila entondwe saba hikhono gwakwe olelo. Omwene yajenda mwinara vyedhahabu evye tala saba ayanga eshi, “
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.
“'Emenye zyobhombile adigane hwaho mbombo navumilile hwaho hasa naje howezizye, ahonvwawe nabhobhalibha bhibhi, naobhalenjele wonti wabhawikwizya bhatumwa kumbesebhabho bhabhoneshe bhilenka.
3 Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name.
Emenye aje ulige ngolo navumilile, na oshiliye minji husababu witawa lyane, solitili osele.
4 But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love.
Lelo ili lyalyelyo lyendinalyo mhati mwaho, oleshile oluganano waho owahwande.
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.
Eshi izuha poha gwiye, otowe na bhombe embombo gohabhombaga afume hale. Nkashele sotowa embahwenzu huliwe nahwefwe eshinara shao afume apene.
6 But you have this to your credit: You hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Lelo olinelo ogavitwa gala galagabhagambile Awanikolai gabhabhombile hatanene engavitwa.
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.
Nkashile olinikutu, tejezya gala ege Mpepo gegabhozya amakanisa nolayagamena. Embahupele eshibali eshalye afume mwikwi elyehwomi wauli humwanja wa Ngolobhe.'
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.
“Wantumwa wikanisa lya Smirna na simba: 'Ega mazugola yali wahwande na malishile yafwiye nabhe mwomi nantele:
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.
'“Engamenye amayemba gao nope na waho (lelo awe oli tajili), ni lenka hwabhala bhabhawikwizya bhayahudi (lelo siyo - sebhebho sinagogi lya shetani).
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.
Osahogope namayemba gagahumwaje. Enya! Oshetani alwabhataje badhi yenyu hwijela aje mlegwe napate amayemba hunsiku kumi. Mbhanje bhaminifu paka afwe, na nitawapa taji ya uzima.
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.
Nkashile olinikutu, tejeleza Ompepo sagabhozya amakanisa. Olayagamena sabhapate amadhara eyefwa yabhele.'
12 To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of the One who holds the sharp, double-edged sword.
“Hwa ntumi ebhe kanisa lya Pergamo simba: 'Ega gayanga oyo yalinipanga ikyali, wawiwoji wonti wonti hubhele.
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.
'“Emenye pokhala -papali itengo elye shemwene haesho. Awe walita sana itawalyane, nasagaoikulila zya Antipasi oketiwane, omwaminifu wane, yafwiye mwamlanamwe epo papepo Setani pakhala.
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.
Lelo endi nenongwa nyishe nawe: olina bhantu bhabhakhata efundizyo ya Baalamu, omwene yafundizizye o Balaki abheshe oluvisyo witagalila lya bhana bha Israeli, aje bhalye vyavifumiziwe sadaka humangolobhe na hwilongo.
15 In the same way, some of you also hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Huhali yeyo hatawewe olinabho bhashe bhabha khata enfundizyo ya Wanikolai.
16 Therefore repent! Otherwise I will come to you shortly and wage war against them with the sword of My mouth.
Basi towa! Nkashele sobhomba esho, iwenza nanali, naneembabhombe ibho hwabhene hwipanga afume hwilomu lyane.
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.
Nkashele ohonvwa onvwa Ompepo zabhabhozya amakanisa. Ola yabhamene, embalumpele, badhi ya ela imana yehafisilwe, itawa lyashele nomo yalimenye esipokuo yoyo yaliposhela.'
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.
“Hwa utumi wikanisa elya Thiatira simba: “Ega ga mazu aga Mwana wa Ngolobhe, omwene yalinamaso gakwe nashi omele gwe mwoto, ne nyayo nashi eshaba yesuhuliwe sana:
19 I know your deeds—your love, your faith, your service, your perseverance—and your latter deeds are greater than your first.
““Emenye lyobhombile - olugano lwale no lweteho nehuduma no vumilivu waho tee, aje hala hahabhombile eshisheshi zawadi yahala hohabhombile pahwande.
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.
Lelo endinalyo elihuliwe: ohuvumilila oshe oYezebeli yahwikwizya yoyookuwashee. Hunfundizyo zyakwe, abhatezya asontezo bhane azini na alye eshalye shashele shifumizie sadaka hu sanamu.
21 Even though I have given her time to repent of her immorality, she is unwilling.
Ehapie ensiku ezya hweteshe, lelo sagali tayali aweteshe embibhi zyakwe.
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.
Enya embahutaje pashita eshembina, na bhala bhabhabhomba omalaya bhape humayemba amakhali, olwenje bheteshe habhombile.
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.
Embabha khome abhana bhabho bhafwe namakanisa gonti bhamanye aje anene hwenya amawazo netama. Embahupele kila omo wenyu shila zyabhomba hwakwe.
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.
Lelo bhamohulimwe mwamsageye hu Thiatira, mwenti mwashele semkhata nfundizyo eli, na mwashele semmenye hala hahali malibho ga Setani, eyanga hulimwe, 'sembabheshe pamwanya palimwe izigo lyolyonti.'
25 Nevertheless, hold fast to what you have until I come.
Wijambo lyonti, lazima mbhengangali pakaehayenza.
26 And to the one who overcomes and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations.
Yayanti yagamena nabhombe hala shila shenshibhombile paka amalishile wamwene embahupele adalaka pamwanya epensi.
27 He will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery —just as I have received authority from My Father.
'Ayibhatowala hundesa eyeijela, nashi embakuli ezyilongo, abhabhabudulanye vipisi vipisi.'
28 And I will give him the morning star.
Nashi sehaposheye afume hwa Baba wane, embahupele nantele entondwe eyasapwiti.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Nkoli nikutu, tejezya lila lyashele Ompepo agabhola amakanisa.'
