< 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:
“Ephisas chaas rangsah suh raang uh: “Arah tiitkhaap ah heh reeni dakchah kooni ritsi sinet joha taangnawa nyia kom weetook thin theng sinet damdi khoomla wah taangnawa.
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.
Tim reelu ngah ih jat eh hala; Naan uno timthan mootchaan kaatchaan motu ah ejat ih hala. Erah ejat ih hala mih lajak loong ah an ih tah naan sokko. Erah damdi kaamwah lah angka di ngah kaamwah ngeh chaang ha mina loong ah thaak taari uno jat hu, neng loong ah ehuh eleek.
3 I know about your patience, and what you endured for my sake—and that you didn't give up!
Nga thoithoi di an ih lah toihaat thang ih rapne naan uno chamnaang lu,
4 But I have something against you: you have neglected your first love.
Enoothong an suh laseechoh abah jaakhoh ni minchan tahang likhiik amadi lah minchan rang nooba laseechoh ih hala.
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.
Taatthaak thunthaak uh, timthan haloh ni moonglu! Rangdah mootkaat thinhaat uno jaakhoh ni motu erah likhiik moh uh. An rangdah nawa lamok lek koobah, ngah eraak ehang weetook thin theng ah etoon raak ehang.
6 However, you do have this to your credit: you hate the actions of the Nicolaitans, just as I do.
Enoothong ngah ih an suh seechoh hala abah ngah ih Nikolai loong reeraang miksuk tang likhiik an ih uh emamah miksuk hu erah suh ba seechoh lang.
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.
“Sen na je an bah, Chiiala ih chaas suh timjih baat ha erah chaat an! “Ngo mina ih jen jen ah, erah mina suh Rangte Pa ni roidong potiik bang angla erah tiik ah jen thi phak thuk ang.
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:
“Ismirna chaas dowa rangsah suh raang uh: “Arah tiitkhaap ah marah wah ephang, ethoon nyia etek eta eno ewe ngaakthingta erah wah taangnawa.
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.
Ngah ih an chamnaang ah ejat ehang, an changthih ngeh uh ejat ehang—enoothong an amiimi diibah changthih tah angko! Ngah ih jat ehang Jehudi lah angka di Jehudi ngeh ih chaang rumha loong rah ih an tiit ethih thetbaat rum halu, amiidi bah neng ah Soitaan mina!
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!
Tim ang abah uh chamnaang ra nakcho uh. Chaat uh! Hakhoh luuwang ih phaatak nah sak hono eteeme mok eho, eno an sa asih tuk ih ba chamnaang uh. Etek theng thok ha bah uh ngah suh rapneene ih hanpi hang, enooba ngah ih an suh ejen thaang ah roidong koha.
11 If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches. The second death will not harm those who are victorious.
“Sen na je an bah, Chiiala ih chaas suh timjih baat ha erah chaat an! “Ngo mina ih jen jen ah erate ah etek we etheng rah ih tajen haamka.
12 Write this to the angel of the Pergamum church: This is what the one holding the sharp two-edged sword says:
“Pargamum chaas dowa rangsah suh raang uh: “Arah tiitkhaap ah haanghop langtheh ang arah piita wah taangnawa.
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!
Ngah ih jat ehang maradi an tonglu erah hah rah Soitaan luuwang tongtheng angla eradi tonglu. Ngah haaki tuungmaang maang ih chapte Antipaas ah Soitaan tongtheng ni tek haatta tok adi uh an ih ngah suh tuungmaang ah tah thin haattu.
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.
Enoothong sen suh amasah laseechoh ah langla: sen laktung ni marah marah mina Baalam jeng chaatte eje, Marah ih Baalak suh Ijirel mina loong mokwaan thuk rum ano tongmih suh koha phaksat ah phaksat thuk rumta eno minuh damdoh roomjup roongtong ah nyootsoot ano rangdah ni dat hoom rumta, erah Baalam jeng kapte sen jaachi ni eje.
15 Similarly you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Erah likhiikkhiik sen jaachi ni uh marah marah mina Nikolai loong jeng nyootte eje.
16 So repent, or soon I will come to you and fight against them using the sword of my mouth.
Amadoh engaak ehan sen rangdah nawa ah! lah ngaak ran bah, ngah sen jinnah kharok eraak ehang eno nga tui nawa dong taha lang ah pi angno neng damdoh rook raahang.
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.
“Sen na je an baleh chaat an, marah Chiiala ih chaas loong suh baat ha rah ah! “Ngo ih jen ah erah suh ngah ih ehotthin eha manna ah koh ang. Jong epuung nah men ena raang choi korum ang, erah wahoh ih tajatka ang ah enoothong marah ih thaangha erah ih ba jat ah.
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.
“Thaitira chaas dowa rangsah suh raang uh: “Arah tiitkhaap ah Rangte Sah, heh mik ah weelak kaphaak ajih phaakla, heh lah ah jaanmeen leep hut choi phaakphaak phaakla taangnawa.
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.
Ngah ih ejat ehang an timjih reelu ah. An jinni minchan, tuungmaang, mootkaat ah eje, nyia an ten jen naan hu rah uh ejat ehang. Jaakhoh nawa thaknang ibah amadi ehan reelu rah uh ejat ehang.
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.
Enoothong ngah ih an miksuk hala ah langla: an ih minuh Jejebel ih liita ngah Rangte kongphaak huite eno eradi enaan etu, heh ih nga laksuh loong mokwaan rumta ah langla minuh damdoh roomjup, tongmih suh koh arah phaksat ah phaksat suh ki nyoot rumta, erah suh khalang.
21 I gave her time to repent of her sexual sins, but she's not willing to repent.
Ngah ih heh suh rangdah nawa ngaak suh saapoot ekot taat etang, ang abah uh heh tenthun thih dowa ngaak suh tah nookta.
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.
Erah raangtaan ih ngah ih heh teenuh nyia heh damdi roomjupte loong ah juptheng adoh haat ang eno rapne chamnaang thuk rum ah. Erah nuh ah damdi thet reete loong uh lah sekthun rumka bah neng uh amah doh juptheng nah haat rum ang.
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.
Ngah ih erah nuh liphante loong ah nep tek haat ang, eno erah lih adoh chaas nawa mina loong ih jat rum hang, mina tenthun nyia tim nook rumla erah jatte ah ngah. Sen ih mamah ih re an ngah ih sen damdoh emamah ih re ang.
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,
“Enoothong Thaitira dowa rukho loong rah ih ethih nyootsootta ah tah kap rumta; rukho loong ih Soitaan husah tiit baat hah rah sen ih tanyoottan. Ngah ih liihang abah sen suh arah khotok doh huijih taka hui thuk rumra.
25 ‘Just hold on to what you have until I come.’
Enoothong ngah maang ngaak raara amadi ang lan ah likhiik rongtangtang jaatjaat tong an.
26 I will give authority over the nations to those who are victorious and who do what I say until the end.
Ngo mina ih jen jen ah, nyia ethoon tuk ih ngah ih liihang jun ih reela, erah suh seng Wah jin nawa chaan chotang ah koh ang: Deek akaan jen pan suh chaan ah koh ang, jom ajaan likhiik ih pan rum ah, nyia paaktek bunbuh arah likhiik bun bot thuk rum ang. Ngah ih rangkhano ritsi ah uh ekot erum ang.
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,
28 I will give them the morning star.
29 If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches.”
“Sen na je an baleh, chaat an marah Chiiala ih chaas loong suh baat ha rah ah!
