< Revelation 2 >
1 To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamps:
“Ndik ne malaika morito kanisa man Efeso kama: Magi e weche Jal motingʼo sulwe abiriyo e lwete korachwich kendo mawuotho e kind rachungi teyni abiriyo mag dhahabu:
2 I know thy works and [thy] labour, and thine endurance, and that thou canst not bear evil [men]; and thou hast tried them who say that themselves [are] apostles and are not, and hast found them liars;
Angʼeyo timbeni gi tichni matek kod kinda mari. Angʼeyo ni isetiyo matek kendo isetimo kinda. Angʼeyo ni imon gi joma timo timbe mamono. Angʼeyo ni isetemo joma luongore ni joote, to ok gin joote, ma iyudo ni gin jo-miriambo.
3 and endurest, and hast borne for my name's sake, and hast not wearied:
Isetimo kinda kendo isehori e bwo chandruok nikech nyinga, to ok iseol.
4 but I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
To kata kamano an kodi gi wach; iseweyo hera mane iherago mokwongo.
5 Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works: but if not, I am coming to thee, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou shalt repent.
Omiyo parie bor mar kuma iseaye ka ipodho! Lokri iwe richo mondo itim gik mane itimo mokwongo. To ka ok ilokori to abiro biro mi agol tachi kare.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
To kata kamano nitie tim maber ma apwoyigo, to isin gi timbe maricho mag jo-Nikolao ma an bende asin-go.
7 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God.
Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ne kanisa. Ngʼat molocho to anami adiera mar chamo olemb yadh ngima manie puotho mar Nyasaye.
8 And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: These things says the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:
“Ndik ne malaika morito kanisa man Smurna kama: Magi e weche mag Jal Mokwongo kendo Mogik, Jal mane otho kendo ochier.
9 I know thy tribulation and thy poverty; but thou art rich; and the railing of those who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but a synagogue of Satan.
Angʼeyo chandruokni kod dhierni to kata kamano in jamoko. Bende angʼeyo ayany ma joma wuondore ni jo-Yahudi yanyigo to gin mana joma lamo Satan.
10 Fear nothing [of] what thou art about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of life.
Kik iluor kuom sand ma ibiro yudo machiegni. Adier, anyisou ni Jachien biro tweyo jomoko kuomu e od twech mondo otemugo kendo ubiro yudo sandruok kuom ndalo apar. Bed ja-adiera nyaka kar tho mi anamiyi osimbo mar ngima.
11 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He that overcomes shall in no wise be injured of the second death.
Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ni kanisa. Ngʼat molocho to tho mar ariyo ok notime gimoro kata matin.
12 And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword:
“Ndik ne malaika morito kanisa man Pergamo kama: Magi e weche Jal man-gi ligangla mabith ma dhoge ariyo:
13 I know where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan [is]; and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness [was], who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.
Angʼeyo kama idakie. En kama kom duongʼ mar Satan nitie to kata kamano isebedo kirito nyinga ahinya. Bende ne ok ikwedo yie miyiego kuoma, kata mana e kinde mane Antipa janeno mara mar adier onegi e dalau kama Satan odakie.
14 But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat [of] idol sacrifices and commit fornication.
To kata kamano an kod weche matin kuomi: In kod jomoko kanyo maluwo puonj mar Balaam mane opuonjo Balak kaka onyalo ywayo jo-Israel mondo otim richo ka gichamo chiemo motimgo misango ni nyiseche manono kendo kuom richo mar chode.
15 So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner.
To bende in kod jomoko maluwo puonj mag jo-Nikolao.
16 Repent therefore: but if not, I come to thee quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.
Emomiyo lokri iwe richo! Nikech ka ok ilokori to abiro biro mapiyo mondo aked kodgi gi ligangla mawuok e dhoga.
17 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of the hidden manna; and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that receives [it].
Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ni kanisa. Ngʼat molocho abiro miyo manna moko mopandi. Bende abiro miye kidi marachar mondikie nying manyien maonge ngʼat mongʼeyo makmana ngʼat monwangʼe.
18 And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, he that has his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass:
“Ndik ne malaika morito kanisa man Thuatira kama: Magi e weche mag Wuod Nyasaye ma wengene chalo gi mach makakni bende tiendene chal ka mula mapakni.
19 I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thine endurance, and thy last works [to be] more than the first.
Angʼeyo timbeni gi herani kod yie mari gi tiji mar konyo ji kod kindani. Kendo imedo tiyo maber moloyo kaka nitiyo mokwongo.
20 But I have against thee that thou permittest the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself prophetess, and she teaches and leads astray my servants to commit fornication and eat of idol sacrifices.
Kata kamano, an kodi gi wach moro ma ok ber kuomi; iyie gi dhako miluongo ni Jezebel maluongore ni janabi madhako. En ema omiyo jotichna lal kopuonjogi mondo giterre, kendo mondo gicham chiemo motimgo misango ni nyiseche manono.
21 And I gave her time that she should repent, and she will not repent of her fornication.
Ne amiye kinde mondo olokre owe richo mar chode to notamore.
22 Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,
Omiyo abiro bole e kitanda mar thagruok bende abiro miyo joma terore kode yudo thagruok malich ka ok giyie loko chunygi mi giweyo timo richo.
23 and her children will I kill with death; and all the assemblies shall know that I am he that searches [the] reins and [the] hearts; and I will give to you each according to your works.
Nyithinde bende abiro nego, mi kanise biro ngʼeyo ni An ema angʼeyo chunje gi paro mag ji bende ni anapog ngʼato ka ngʼato kaka tichne chalo.
24 But to you I say, the rest who [are] in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I do not cast upon you any other burden;
To Koro un ji mamoko duto modongʼ man Thuatira ma ok oseluwo puonjne kendo mapok ongʼeyo gima jomoko luongo ni weche mopondo mag Satan, ‘Ok aketnu tingʼ moro mapek,
25 but what ye have hold fast till I shall come.
omiyo makmana gima in-go matek nyaka abi.’
26 And he that overcomes, and he that keeps unto the end my works, to him will I give authority over the nations,
To ngʼat molocho kendo timo dwarona nyaka giko, abiro miyo loch kuom ogendini.
27 and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; as vessels of pottery are they broken in pieces, as I also have received from my Father;
‘Ngʼat molochono norit ogendini gi ludh nyinyo, kendo notogi matindo tindo ka ngʼama toyo agulu,’ mana kaka Wuora osemiya teko mar loch.
28 and I will give to him the morning star.
To anamiye sulwe mar okinyi.
29 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ni kanisa.
