< Revelation 2 >

1 “And to the Angel of the Church of Ephesus write: Thus says the One who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:
Basa naa ma, Atahori Matetuꞌ a parenda au nae, “Yohanis. Musi suraꞌ susura esa. Liin taꞌo ia: ‘Soaꞌ neu jamaꞌat sia kota Efesus: Susura ia, mia Au, naeni Yesus. Au mana toꞌu nduu kahituꞌ sia lima ona ngga. Au mana lao rereoꞌ mete lambu lilo kahituꞌ naa ra esa-esaꞌ. Rena oꞌola ngga ia.
2 I know your works, and your hardship and patient endurance, and that you cannot stand those who are evil. And so, you have tested those who declare themselves to be Apostles and are not, and you have found them to be liars.
Au ita masodꞌa mara sia kota Efesus ena. Hei soaꞌ a tao-ues mitaꞌ mamate mara fee neu Lamatuaꞌ. Mete ma hambu atahori deꞌulakaꞌ sia taladꞌa mara, hei nda mboꞌi e sa. Ma mete ma atahori rema eꞌedik oi, eni, Lamatuaꞌ dedenun, hei soaꞌ a paresaꞌ malolole masodꞌan, fo bubꞌuluꞌ mae atahori mataꞌ naa, atahori mana peko-lelekoꞌ do hokoꞌ. Basa ma hei tola, fo afiꞌ rena e.
3 And you have patient endurance for the sake of my name, and you have not fallen away.
Mae atahori tao raꞌasususaꞌ nggi huu mimihere Au, te miꞌitataaꞌ mikindoo, nda miꞌidedꞌeaꞌ sa.
4 But I have this against you: that you have relinquished your first charity.
Te Au ita hei tudꞌa sia dalaꞌ sa. Feꞌesaꞌan hei feꞌe mulai mimihere Au, hei esa sue esa. Te ia naa hei nda onaꞌ naa sa ena.
5 And so, call to mind the place from which you have fallen, and do penance, and do the first works. Otherwise, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
De musi misinedꞌa lele uluꞌ naa. Te ia naa, miꞌidꞌodꞌooꞌ mia tatao-nonoꞌi lele-uluꞌ naa ena. Naa de, musi miloeꞌ mia sala-singgo mara ia, fo sue-lai esa no esa ona maꞌahulun. Te mete ma hokoꞌ, dei fo Au uma haꞌi endi baliꞌ lambu liloꞌ a mia nggi.
6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Te rala ngga namahoꞌo mbei ena, huu hei nda simbo Nikolai nenorin fo ana dedenu nara tao tunggaꞌ a. Au o nda simbo tatao nara sa boe.
7 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. To him who prevails, I will give to eat from the Tree of Life, which is in the Paradise of my God.
Dadꞌi! Rena malolole saa fo Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen nafadꞌe neu jamaꞌat nara. Atahori mana maꞌatataaꞌ tungga Au losa mate, dei fo Au fee isin, fo ana naa boaꞌ mia hau huuꞌ mana sia Lamatualain osin. Te atahori mana naa hau boaꞌ naa, ana hambu masodꞌaꞌ tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ nda namaetu ma basa sa.’”
8 And to the Angel of the Church of Smyrna write: Thus says the First and the Last, he who was dead and now lives:
Basa ma Atahori Matetuꞌ naa tute oꞌolan nae, “Yohanis, ia naa musi suraꞌ susura laen. Liin taꞌo ia: ‘Soaꞌ neu jamaꞌat sia kota Smirna: Susura ia mia Au, naeni Yesus. Basaꞌ e laoꞌ mia Au, eniꞌ a mia fefeun losa babꞌasan. Feꞌesaꞌan Au mate, te ia naa usodꞌa baliꞌ ena. De rena oꞌola ngga ia.
9 I know your tribulation and your poverty, but you are rich, and that you are blasphemed by those who declare themselves to be Jews and are not, but who are a synagogue of Satan.
Au ita hei misodꞌa doidꞌoso sia kota Smirna. Tungga atahori dudꞌuꞌan, hei mana toꞌa-taaꞌ. Tao-tao te tungga Lamatuaꞌ, hei mamasuꞌiꞌ. Atahori ruma rataa rae sira Lamatua atahorin, te ara mana olaꞌ raꞌamuti hei nara malole mara. Sira ia, nda Lamatuaꞌ atahori nara sa. Ara onaꞌ jamaꞌat esa mana tungga-tunggaꞌ nitu ra malanggan.
10 You should fear nothing amid those things which you will suffer. Behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tested. And you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give to you the crown of life.
Dadꞌi rena malolole. Afiꞌ mimitau mete ma hei feꞌe hambu susa-sonaꞌ. Sadꞌi ama bubꞌuluꞌ, nitu ra malanggan nae sangga atahori fo tao hei ruma bui rala mii losa fai sanahulu. Hiihi na, hei misidꞌea lao hela Au. Mae ara rae tao risa hei o, afiꞌ liliꞌ Au. Te atahori mana maꞌatataaꞌ tungga Au losa mate, dei fo Au bala-baꞌe papala-babꞌanggin, fo nasodꞌa nakandoo naꞌabꞌue no Au.
11 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. Whoever will prevail, he shall not be harmed by the second death.
Dadꞌi! Rena malolole saa fo Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen nafadꞌe neu jamaꞌat nara. Atahori mana maꞌatataaꞌ tungga Au losa mate, ana nda doidꞌoso sia tasi ai mana mbila rorooꞌ nda naloeꞌ sa. No taꞌo naa, ana nda mate lao karuan sa.’”
12 And to the Angel of the Church of Pergamus write: Thus says he who holds the sharp two-edged spear:
Boe ma Atahori Matetuꞌ a tute seluꞌ oꞌolan fai nae, “Yohanis, ia naa musi suraꞌ susura laen fai. Liin taꞌo ia: ‘Soaꞌ neu jamaꞌat sia kota Pergamus: Susura ia, mia Au naeni Yesus. Au mana toꞌu fela tafa tandeꞌ deaꞌ-ralaꞌ. Rena oꞌola Ngga ia.
13 I know where you dwell, where the seat of Satan is, and that you hold to my name and have not denied my faith, even in those days when Antipas was my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.
Au uhine hei kota Pergamus ma ena. Mana toꞌu parendaꞌ sia naa, naeni nitu ra malanggan. Mae onaꞌ naa o, hei toꞌu mihereꞌ nara Ngga ma mimihere mikindoo neu Au. Dalahulun atahori Ngga esa sia naa, naran Antipas. Ana soaꞌ a nanori dꞌala masodꞌa Ngga no matetuꞌ te ara tao risa e. Mae taꞌo naa o, hei nda mifinii Au sa.
14 But I have a few things against you. For you have, in that place, those who hold to the doctrine of Balaam, who instructed Balak to cast a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat and to commit fornication.
Te Au ita hei tudꞌa sia dalaꞌ esa-rua. Hambu hei ruma hiiꞌ a tungga Balaam nenorin. Maꞌahulun Balaam nanori Balak fo kokoe-nanasi atahori Israꞌel ra losa ara ralena-langga Lamatuaꞌ hihiin. Ana kokoe-nanasi se fo reu songgo, raa nanaat sosonggoꞌ, ma reu hohongge.
15 And you also have those who hold to the doctrine of the Nicolaitans.
Hambu atahori hira mia hei e tungga Nikolai nenorin.
16 So do penance to the same extent. If you do less, I will come to you quickly and I will fight against these ones with the sword of my mouth.
De musi miloeꞌ mia sala-singgo mara. Mete ma hokoꞌ, nda dooꞌ sa fai, te Au uma ungguruli hei endiꞌ dedꞌea-oꞌola tandeꞌ, mana nahina onaꞌ fela tafaꞌ.
17 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. To him who prevails, I will give the hidden manna. And I will give to him a white emblem, and on the emblem, a new name has been written, which no one knows, except the one who receives it.
Dadꞌi! Rena malolole saa fo Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen nafadꞌe neu jamaꞌat nara. Atahori mana maꞌatataaꞌ tungga Au losa mate, dei fo Au fee ne naa roti manna mia sorga fo mana nenembedꞌaꞌ malololeꞌ. Dei fo Au o fee ne fatu mutiꞌ sa nenesuraꞌ nara feu na. Akaꞌ a mesaꞌ ne bubꞌuluꞌ naraꞌ naa, atahori feaꞌ nda bubꞌuluꞌ sa.’”
18 And to the Angel of the Church of Thyatira write: Thus says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like shining brass.
Basa ma Atahori Matetuꞌ a tute seluꞌ oꞌolan nae, “Yohanis, ia naa ho musi suraꞌ seluꞌ susura sa fai, liin taꞌo ia: ‘Soaꞌ neu jamaꞌat sia kota Tiatira: Susura ia, mia Au, Yesus, naeni Lamatualain Anan. Au mata Ngga mbila onaꞌ ai, Ei ngga mbilas mbila onaꞌ riti nenelalanggeꞌ sia ai rala. Rena oꞌola Ngga ia.
19 I know your works, and your faith and charity, and your ministry and patient endurance, and that your more recent works are greater than the earlier ones.
Au ita masodꞌa mara ena. Hei sue tebꞌe Au ma mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu Au. Hei tungga parenda Ngga, de mii mete-seꞌu atahori. Onaꞌ mae atahori tao raꞌasususaꞌ nggi o, miꞌitataaꞌ mikindoo. Au o bubꞌuluꞌ ae, ia naa, hei ue-tao manggate lenaꞌ fee Au.
20 But I have a few things against you. For you permit the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants, to commit fornication and to eat the food of idolatry.
Te hei tudꞌa sia salaꞌ esa rala: hei simbo no maloleꞌ inaꞌ fo naran Isabel, mana soꞌu-soꞌuꞌ aon nae, eni Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-olan. Basa ma hei mboꞌi e fo nanori sala Au atahori nggara. Huu nenori mana pepeko-lelekoꞌ naa, losa Au atahori nggara tungga hohongge, ma raa nanaa sosonggoꞌ.
21 And I gave her a time, so that she might do penance, but she is not willing to repent from her fornication.
Au ai usufafali inaꞌ naa ena, fo lao hela salaꞌ naa. Te ana nda nau sa.
22 Behold, I will cast her onto a bed, and those who commit adultery with her shall be in a very great tribulation, unless they repent from their works.
De mete malolole. Te ia naa Au uꞌetuꞌ fo hukun e no hedꞌis esa, losa ana nda fela hela mamana susunggun sa. Mete ma basa atahori mana hohongge ro e, nda lao hela inaꞌ deꞌulakaꞌ naa sa, nda dooꞌ sa te Au hukun se boe.
23 And I will put her sons to death, and all the Churches shall know that I am the one who examines temperaments and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works. But I say to you,
Dei fo tao isa ina deꞌulakaꞌ naa ana nara. No taꞌo naa, basa hei mana mamahereꞌ ra mihine, mae Au bubꞌuluꞌ basa atahori rala nara. Dei fo Au bala-bꞌae nggi tungga tatao-nonoꞌi mara.
24 and to the others who are at Thyatira: Whoever does not hold to this doctrine, and who has not ‘known the depths of Satan,’ as they say, I will not set any other weight upon you.
Te hei laen mana sia Tiatira ra, nda tungga inaꞌ naa nenori deꞌulakan sa. Hei nda simbo nenori maꞌafuniꞌ fo ara rae, ‘nitu ra nenori maꞌahatun’. Huu naa, Au nda parlu ai nggi sa ena,
25 Even so, that which you have, hold on to it until I return.
sadꞌi toꞌu mihereꞌ nemehere mara losa Au uma.
26 And whoever will prevail and will observe my works even unto the end, I will give to him authority over the nations.
Atahori mana maꞌatataaꞌ tungga Au losa mate, dei fo Au fee ne koasa. Koasa naa, koasa monaeꞌ, onaꞌ Au hambu mia Ama Ngga, fo parenda basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ no lima besiꞌ. Mete ma hambu ruma labꞌan e, dei fo ana tao nambalutu se, onaꞌ atahori tao rafanggiꞌ hura rae. Dei fo Au fee nduu fefetuꞌ neu nggi.
27 And he shall rule them with an iron rod, and they shall be broken like the earthenware of a potter.
28 The same I also have received from my Father. And I will give to him the morning star.
29 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.”
Dadꞌi! Rena malolole sa fo Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen nafadꞌe neu jamaꞌat ra.’”
