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:
Diani ne ki teni Efesi Kiristi jaancagli maleki: Ne tie yua n muubi ŋmaabila lele o nuujienu, ki cuoni wula fidsantuankaani lele siiga nni ya lanbona i,
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.
“N bani ŋan tieni yaali yeni ŋan sɔni ya tuoncianli yeni a juunli mɔndli (ŋaniali). N bani ke ŋaa tieni nibiadba nunmanga. N bani ke a bigni yaaba n yedi ke bi tie tonda kaa tie ba, ki bandi ke bi tie faagu danba i.
3 I know about your patience, and what you endured for my sake—and that you didn't give up!
N bani ke a mɔndi ki juuni, ki go ga fala hali boncianla n ya yeli po, ama, li naa wadi a pali.
4 But I have something against you: you have neglected your first love.
Ama, n ba jalgi a yeni ŋan lindi a cincinbuama.
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.
Lanwani ii, ŋan ya tiani ŋan cindi ki baa naani. ŋan tuubi, ki guani ki ya tiendi ŋan den kpia ki tiendi maama. A yaa tuubi, n ba cua a kani ki ñani a fidsantuankaanu, un ye naani.
6 However, you do have this to your credit: you hate the actions of the Nicolaitans, just as I do.
Ama n bani yaali n tie a ŋandi: a yie Nikolasi yaaba tuada, N mo ń yie yaali n yeni.
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.
Yua n pia a tuba wan cengi foŋanma ń maadi Kiristi jaancaga yaali. Yua n kɔni mi jama, ki paadi, n ba puni o u sanu wan di li miali tibu yaabu n se U Tienu Diema nni.'”
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:
Diani ki teni Simiirni jaancagli maleki: Yua cindi yeni yua n juodi, Yua n den kpe ki go ji fo lanbona n ne:
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.
N bani a cacagma, yeni a namu ama a tie piado i. N bani yaaba n yedi ke bi tie Juufinba ki naa tie ba jonjongu. Bi tie Sutaani jaandiegu yaaba i.
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!
Da jie ya fala n bili ki guu a. Diidi! Sutani bobindi ki ba cuo ki luoni i siiga nni nitianba li dansaldieli nni, yin la fala dana piiga. Yin ya dugi n po hali yeni mi kuuma, n ba puni a li miali badfegliga.
11 If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches. The second death will not harm those who are victorious.
Yua n pia tubli wan cengi Foŋanma ń maadi Kiristi jaancaga yaali. Yua n kɔni mi jama, ki paadi, kan la mi kuuliema fala.” “
12 Write this to the angel of the Pergamum church: This is what the one holding the sharp two-edged sword says:
Diani ki teni Pergami Kiristi jaancagli maleki: 'Yua n kubi ya jugsiega n mani kaani lie lanbona n ne:
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!
N bani ŋan kua naani, Sutaani badigbandi ń ye naani n yeni. Yeni lankuli, a juuni ki kubi yeli. N bani ke yii nia ke yii dugi n po, bayeni Antipasi, n kasiedo daali, yua n dugi n po hali boncianla, ke bi den kpa o i siiga nni, Sutaani ń kua naani n yeni.
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.
Ama n pia i jalgi waamu a po: I siiga, bi niba ye, ki ŋua Balaami tundma boncianla, Yua n den tundi Balaki ke o tulni Israyeli bila, ke bi dini i buli padjiema, ki go conbi.
15 Similarly you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Lani n go yeni, i siiga nni, nitianba ŋua Nikola yaaba bangma ke li paa.
16 So repent, or soon I will come to you and fight against them using the sword of my mouth.
Lanwani ii, ŋan tuubi! A yaa tuubi, N ba cua tontoni a kani, ki pua bu tɔbu yeni ba yeni n ñɔbu nni jugsiega.
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.
Yua n pia tubli, wan cengi Foŋanma ń maadi Kiristi jaancaga yaali. Yua n kɔni ki paadi, n ba teni o yaali n tie Maani, ki wuo, n go ba teni o tanpienli, ke yepaanli diani lipo, ya yeli ke niloba ki bani, kase yua baa li baba.” “
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.
Diani ki teni Tiyatiri Kiristi jaancagli maleki: U Tienu Bijua yua n pia a ninbina nani umupienu yeni, ke o taana tie nani ban duadi ya kudmɔndi yeni lanbona n ne:
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.
“N bani ŋan tieni yaali: A buama a dudugdi a tuonli yeni a juunli mɔndli. N bani a tuona, a buama, a dudugdi, mɔndli, a tuona mɔlane cie ŋan den cindi ki tieni yaali.
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.
Ama min jalgi a yaali ya po n ne: A cabi o pua Jesabili, yua n tama ke o tie sawalpualo yeni u sanu. O tundima po, o tulni n tonda ke bi tieni mi conconma, ki go dini i buli padjiema.
21 I gave her time to repent of her sexual sins, but she's not willing to repent.
N bili o po u yogu waamu, wan baa ki tuubi, ama waa bua wan mia sugli o conconma po.
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.
Diidi! N ba lu o u yianu, wani yeni yaaba n tieni mi conconma kuli ba la falaciamo, kase bi ya tuubi bi tuonbiadi po.
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.
N ba pua ki kpa o bila, Kiristi jaancaga kuli ba bandi ke mini n fiidi ki bani yaali n ye mi maalma yeni a pala nni kuli. N ba teni i siiga nni, yuakuli yeni wan sɔni o tuona maama i.
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,
Ama yinba yaaba n sieni Tiyatiiri nni, yua n ki ŋua lanya tunda, kaa bani ban yii yaali ya bona n wuo Sutaani ŋasiili nni - yinba wani, n yedi yi, 'N kan tugni yi tugtɔli.'
25 ‘Just hold on to what you have until I come.’
Lan baa maama kuli, yin ya kubi ke li paa, hali min ba cua.
26 I will give authority over the nations to those who are victorious and who do what I say until the end.
Yua n kɔni mi jama ki paadi, ki tiendi min tieni yaali hali yeni mi juodma, n ba puni u paalu, wan diedi i nibuoli kuli.
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,
O baa diedi ba yeni u badkudigbiamu, o ba pua ki mumudi ba nani ku yɔgu tiamaakaadi yeni.'
28 I will give them the morning star.
Nani min ga N Báa kani maama, n mo ba teni o ku siŋaagu ŋmaabiga.
29 If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches.”
Yua n pia tubli, wan cengi Foŋanma ń maadi Kiristi jaancaga ya maama.”
