Revelation 2
1 “Write this to the angel of the Ephesus church: This is what the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand says, the one who walks among the seven golden candlesticks:
“Efesoona woosa keetha kiitanchchuwas hayssada yaagada xaafa. Ba ushachcha kushen laappun xoolinttota oykkidaysinne laappun worqqa kocata giddora hamutteyssi hayssada yaagees:
2 I know what you've accomplished, your hard work and perseverance. I know you can't tolerate evil people, and how you investigated those who claimed to be apostles but are not, and discovered they were frauds.
Taani ne oosuwa, ne daaburanne ne genccaa erays. Neeni iita asatabaa genccanaw dandda7aboonnayssa erays. Qassi hawaare gidonnashin banttana, hawaare geyssata pilgga erada entti worddanchcho gideyssa demmidayssa ta erays.
3 I know about your patience, and what you endured for my sake—and that you didn't give up!
Neeni genccadasa; ta sunthaa gisho meto dandda7adasa; xoonettabaakka.
4 But I have something against you: you have neglected your first love.
Gidoshin, ha77i ta nena boriyabay de7ees; hessika neeni kase ne siiquwa aggadasa.
5 So remember how far you've fallen—repent and go back to what you were doing at first. Otherwise I'll come to you and I will remove your candlestick from where it is—unless you repent.
Hiza, ne ay mela dhoqqa bessafe kunddidaako akeeka! Ne nagaraappe simma; neeni kase oothiya oosuwa ootha. Neeni ne nagaraappe simmona ixxiko, ne xomppe wothiya kocaa iya bessaafe ekkana.
6 However, you do have this to your credit: you hate the actions of the Nicolaitans, just as I do.
Ha77i ta nena nashshiya issibay de7ees; ta ixxiya Niqoolaweta oosuwa nekka ixxadasa.
7 If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches. I will give to those who are victorious the privilege of eating from the tree of life, which stands in the Paradise of God.
Geeshsha Ayyaanay woosa keethatas giyabaa si7anaw haythi de7iya oonikka si7o. Xooniya oonikka Xoossaa gannatiyan de7iya de7o mithee ayfeppe maana mela maata immana.
8 Write this to the angel of the Smyrna church: This is what the first and last says, the one who was dead and came back to life:
“Samirneesa woosa keethaa kiitanchchuwas hayssada yaagada xaafa. Koyroynne wurssethay, hayqqidaysinne hayqoppe denddidayssi hayssada yaagees:
9 I know the troubles you are going through, and how poor you are (but you are rich), and the abuse from those who say they are Jews but are not, but belong to Satan's synagogue.
Taani ne waayiyanne ne manqotethaa erays; gidoshin neeni dure. Ayhude gidonnashin banttana Ayhude geyssati cayaa cashshaa ta erays, shin entti Xalahe maabaran de7oosona.
10 Don't be afraid about what you are going to suffer. Yes, the devil will throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Just remain faithful, even if it means death, and I will give you the crown of life!
Neeni ekkanaw de7iya waayiya babbofa. Xalahey hinttefe issota issota paaccanaw qasho keethan yeggana; tammu gallas gakkanaw hintte waayettana. Hayqqana gakkanaw ammanettidayssa gida; ta new de7o kallachcha immana.
11 If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches. The second death will not harm those who are victorious.
Geeshsha Ayyaanay woosa keethatas giyabaa si7anaw haythi de7iya oonikka si7o. Xooniya oonikka nam77antho hayquwan qohettenna.
12 Write this to the angel of the Pergamum church: This is what the one holding the sharp two-edged sword says:
“Pherggamoona woosa keethaa kiitanchchuwas hayssada yaagada xaafa. Nam77u baggara qarattida bisoy de7eyssi hayssada yaagees:
13 I know you're living where Satan has his throne, and that you have stayed true to me. You have not denied your trust in me, even when my faithful witness Antipas was killed right among you there where Satan lives!
Taani ne de7iya bessaa erays; neeni Xalahe araatay de7iya bessan de7aasa; ta sunthaa mintha naagadasa. Hari attoshin, Xalahey de7iya hintte kataman hayqqida ta ammanettida markkay, Antiphaasi, de7iya wodekka ammanuwa aggabaakka.
14 But I have a few things against you: There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak how to entrap the children of Israel by means of eating food sacrificed to idols and committing sexual sins.
Gidoshin, ta nena boriya guuthabati de7oosona. Hessika Isra7eele asay eeqas yarshshettida kathaa midi tunana melanne laymatetha nagara oothana mela Baalaqa tamaarssida Balaama timirttiya ekkida issi issi asati neera de7oosona.
15 Similarly you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Hessadakka, Niqoolaweta timirttiya tamaariya asati neera de7oosona.
16 So repent, or soon I will come to you and fight against them using the sword of my mouth.
Hessa gisho, neeni ne nagaraappe simma. Hessi baynna ixxiko, ta neekko ellesa yada he asata ta doonappe keyaa bisuwan olana.
17 If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches. I will give the hidden manna to those who are victorious. I will give them a white stone with a new name written on it that nobody knows except those who receive it.
Geeshsha Ayyaanay woosa keethatas giyabaa si7anaw haythi de7iya oonikka si7o. Xooniya oodeskka qosettidi de7iya mannaafe immana. Qassi ekkiya uraappe attin hara asi eronna ooratha sunthay xaafettida bootha shuchchaa ta iyaw immana.
18 Write this to the angel of the Thyatira church: This is what the Son of God says, the one who has eyes like flaming fire and feet like polished brass.
“Tiyatiroona woosa keethaa kiitanchchuwas hayssada yaagada xaafa. Tama laco daaniya ayfey de7eyssi, qassi taman seerida naase biraata daaniya tohoy de7eyssi, Xoossaa na7ay, hayssada yaagees:
19 I know what you have accomplished, your love and faithfulness and service and perseverance, and that you are doing more now than when you first believed.
Taani ne oosuwa, ne siiquwa, ne ammanuwa, ne haggaazanne ne genccaa erays. Neeni koyro ootheyssafe ha77i aathada ootheyssaka erays.
20 But I have something against you: you are allowing the woman called Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess to teach my followers, leading them astray into sexual sins, and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
Gidoshin, ta nena boriya issibay de7ees; bana nabe giya maccasiw, Elzaabelo, aykkoka gabaakka. He maccasiya eeqas yarshshettida kathaa midi tunanaadanne laymatanaada oothada ta aylleta balethasu.
21 I gave her time to repent of her sexual sins, but she's not willing to repent.
Iya ba nagaraappe simmana mela ta iw wode immas, shin iya simmanaw koyabuukku.
22 So I'm throwing her into a bed together with her adulterous partners and they will suffer terribly unless they repent of what they have done with her.
Entti I bala ogiyappe simmona ixxiko, ta iyo iita harggen yeggana; iira laymateyssatikka iita waaye waayettana.
23 I will put her children to death. Then all the churches will know that I am the one who examines thoughts and motives. I will repay each of you according to what you've done.
Taani I nayta wodhana; qassi woosa keetha ubbay ta asa qofanne asa wozana ereyssa gideyssa erana. Ta issuwas issuwas hintte oosuwada oosuwada immana.
24 For the rest of you there in Thyatira who don't follow this teaching, who have not learned Satan's ‘deep depravities’ as they are called, I don't place on you any other burden. I say to you,
Shin Tiyatiroonan de7iya harata, he iita timirttiya ekkiboonnayssatanne, “Xalahe gita xuura” geetettiya ha timirttiya tamaariboonna hinttena hara deexo tooho toossike.
25 ‘Just hold on to what you have until I come.’
Gidoshin, ta yaana gakkanaw hinttew de7iyabaa minthi naagite.
26 I will give authority over the nations to those who are victorious and who do what I say until the end.
Xooneyssasinne wurssethi gakkanaw taw kiitettiya oodeskka kawotethata haarana mela maata immana.
27 He will rule the nations with an iron rod, breaking them into pieces like clay pots. In the same way that I received authority from my Father,
‘I entta biraata xam77an haarana; meqqa miishedakka mentherethana.’ He maatay taani ta aawappe ekkida maata mela.
28 I will give them the morning star.
Qassi ta iyaw bakkala xoolintto immana.
29 If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches.”
Geeshsha Ayyaanay woosa keethatas giyabaa si7iya haythi de7iya oonikka si7o.
