Revelation 2
1 VNto the Angel of the Church of Ephesus write, These things saieth he that holdeth the seuen starres in his right hand, and walketh in the middes of the seuen golden candlestickes.
Ku mutangunishi wa mubungano wa ku Efenso komulembeleti, “Uwu ni mulumbe ulafumunga kuli uyo wekata nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili mu cikasa cakendi ca kululyo, ukute kwenda pakubika malampi pa golide pasanu ne pabili.
2 I knowe thy workes, and thy labour, and thy patience, and howe thou canst not beare with them which are euill, and hast examined them which say they are Apostles, and are not, and hast found the liars.
Ndibinshi mbyowensako, incito shakobe, kayi wapitanga mu mapensho nkokutebwelela kunyuma. Ndicisheti nkowela kwendela pamo ne muntu waipa. Bantu nabambi balalituntungeti ni batumwa, ulabelekeshenga ne kucaneti ni bandemishibili.
3 And thou wast burdened, and hast patience, and for my Names sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
Wekalikana cali, ulapengelenga ame nsombi nkolabwelelenga kunyuma sobwe.
4 Neuertheles, I haue somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first loue.
Nomba nikukabeco, ndakucana ne mulandu wakwambeti, nkonsunipo mbuli ncowalikunsuna pakutanguna.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and doe the first workes: or els I will come against thee shortly, and will remooue thy candlesticke out of his place, except thou amend.
Anuka mushinga ngowalawa, shiya bwipishi kayi utatike kwinsa caina ncowalikwinsa pakutanguna. Na ubule kushiya bwipishi, ndakesanga kusa kufunyapo pakubika lampi pakobe.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the workes of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
Nambi kulico, ucinsako caina pakwinga nkobisuni bilenshinga ba Nikolayi mbuli nenjame ncentabisunipo.”
7 Let him that hath an eare, heare, what the Spirite saith vnto the Churches, To him that ouercommeth, will I giue to eate of the tree of life which is in the middes of the Paradise of God.
“Uyo ukute matwi anyumfwe cilambanga Mushimu Uswepa ku mibungano!” “Beti bakakome ninkabasiminshe kulya ku cisepo cabuyumi cili mu libala lya Lesa.”
8 And vnto the Angel of the Church of the Smyrnians write, These things saith he that is first, and last, which was dead and is aliue.
Ku mutangunishi wa mubungano wa ku Simuna komulembeleti, “Uwu mulumbe ulafumunga kuli wakutanguna kayi ne wakupwililisha. Uyo walafwa, nomba lino nimuyumi kayi.”
9 I knowe thy workes and tribulation, and pouertie (but thou art riche) and I knowe the blasphemie of them, which say they are Iewes, and are not, but are the Synagogue of Satan.
Ndainshi cena mapensho akobe, kayi ndicinsheti omupenshi, nikukabeco omubile. Ndibinshi byaipa byonse mbyobalakwambanga bantu balambangeti ni Bayuda nambi bantu bakunsa, abo bali mulikoto lya Satana.
10 Feare none of those things, which thou shalt suffer: beholde, it shall come to passe, that the deuill shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tryed, and ye shall haue tribulation tenne dayes: be thou faithfull vnto the death, and I will giue thee the crowne of life.
Kotatina mapensho ngeshi ucane. Nyumfwani! Satana ulipepi kubasebenshesha balwani benu, kwambeti basunge nabambi ne kubawala mujele, kwambeti bamusunke. Nimukacane mapensho akatasha kwa masuba ali likumi. Nomba kamutakaleka kunshoma nambi bakamushine, pakwinga ninkamupe cilambo ca buyumi butapu.
11 Let him that hath an eare, heare what the Spirit saith to the Churches. He that ouercommeth, shall not be hurt of the second death.
“Ukute matwi anyumfwe cilambanga Mushimu Uswepa ku mibungano.” Lufu lwa tubili nteti bakakumane nalo bantu balakomonga ngofu sha bwipishi.
12 And to the Angel of the Church, which is at Pergamus write, This saith he which hath that sharpe sworde with two edges.
Ku mutangunishi wa mubungano wa Pegamo komulembeleti, “Uwu ni mulumbe ulafumunga kuli wekata cibeshi calumata konse konse.
13 I knowe thy workes and where thou dwellest, euen where Satans throne is, and thou keepest my Name, and hast not denied my faith, euen in those dayes when Antipas my faithfull martyr was slaine among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Ndicinsheti uko enkwabika cipuna cakendi cabwami. Nsombi mwashomeka kuli njame, muliya kutaya lushomo lwenu muli njame sobwe. Nambi mucindi kamboni wakame washomeka Antipa nkwalafwila uko kwalikwikala Satana.”
14 But I haue a fewe things against thee, because thou hast there them that maintaine the doctrine of Balaam, which taught Balac to put a stumbling blocke before ye children of Israel, that they should eate of things sacrificed vnto Idoles, and commit fornication.
“Nomba nkuteko bintu bing'ana bya kutongauka. Muli njamwe nabambi balakonkelenga ciyisho ca Balamu, uyo walayisha Balaki kuwishila Baislayeli mu bwipishi bwa kulya byakulya byali kutwalwa ku tumbwanga ne kwinsa mubufule butambiki.”
15 Euen so hast thou them, that maintaine the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
Lino muli njamwe nabambi balakonkelenga ciyisho ca Banikolayi.
16 Repent thy selfe, or els I will come vnto thee shortly, and will fight against them with the sworde of my mouth.
Lekani bwipishi lino! Na mubule kwinseco, ndesanga mwakufwambana kwisa kulwana nabo bantu abo ne cibeshi ceshi cikafume mu mulomo wakame.
17 Let him that hath an eare, heare what the Spirite saith vnto the Churches. To him that ouercommeth, will I giue to eate of the Manna that is hid, and will giue him a white stone, and in the stone a newe name written, which no man knoweth sauing he that receiueth it.
“Ukute matwi anyumfwe cilambanga Mushimu Uswepa ku mibungano!” “Beti bakakome ninkabalyeshe mana asolekwa. Kayi umo ne umo ninkamupe libwe lituba lyalembwapo lina lya lino lino ndyateshipo muntu uliyense, nsombi ulinshi ni mwine lalitambulunga.”
18 And vnto ye Angel of the Church which is at Thyatira write, These things saith the Sonne of God, which hath his eyes like vnto a flame of fire, and his feete like fine brasse.
Ku mutangunishi wa mubungano wa Tiyatila komulembeleti, “Uwu ni mulumbe ulafumunga ku Mwanendi Lesa ukute menso alabangilingeti cibilibili ca mulilo, ukute myendo ilanyekumungeti cela cilafukutwa.
19 I knowe thy workes and thy loue, and seruice, and faith, and thy patience, and thy workes, and that they are more at the last, then at the first.
Ndibwinshi cena buyumi bwakobe, lusuno lwenu kayi ne lushomo lwenu muli njame, ndicinshi ncemukute kunyamfwana umo ne munendi ne ncemukute kupita mu makatasho kwakubula kubwelela kunyuma. Ndicinshi kwambeti lino mulenshinga caina kupita pa cindi ncemwalanshoma.
20 Notwithstanding, I haue a few things against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Iezabel, which calleth her selfe a prophetesse, to teache and to deceiue my seruants to make them commit fornication, and to eate meates sacrificed vnto idoles.
Nomba nikukabeco, ndatongaukunga, pakwinga Yezebeli mutukashi ukute kulyambeti ni mushinshimi. Mulamulekenga kayisha biyisho bya bwepeshi ne kuwishila basebenshi bakame mu bufule butambiki ne mukulya byakulya bikute kubengwa ku tumbwanga.
21 And I gaue her space to repent of her fornication, and she repented not.
Nomba ndamupako ka cindi kang'anowa kwambeti aleke kwinsa byaipa, nsombi lakananga kuleka bufule.”
22 Beholde, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit fornication with her, into great affliction, except they repent them of their workes.
Kamubonani, ninkamuwale pa bulili bwakendi mpoti akakolwele, pamo ne bonse mbwali kupombola nabo ninkabapenshewe, na babule kuleka kwinsa byaipa nendiye.
23 And I will kill her children with death: and all the Churches shall know that I am he which searche the reines and heartes: and I will giue vnto euery one of you according vnto your workes.
Ninkashine bonse balakonkonga biyisho byakendi, neco mibungano yonse nikenshibeti njame nkute kubona cilayeyenga bantu ne ncebalayandanga. Ninkape cisubulo kwelana ne bwipishi bwa muntu uliyense.
24 And vnto you I say, the rest of them of Thyatira, As many as haue not this learning, neither haue knowen the deepenes of Satan (as they speake) I will put vpon you none other burden.
Mobambi uko ku Tiyatila nkamulakonkonga biyisho byaipa, nkamubinshi mbyobalambanga abo balamukonkonga mbyobalambangeti, “Mwine Satana mbyafumbika.” Ndamwambilingeti, nteti nkamutwikepo mutolo wa milawo naumbi wapita wa kwambeti,
25 But that which ye haue alreadie, hold fast till I come.
pitilishani kushoma mwangofu muli njame kushikila nkese.
26 For he that ouercommeth and keepeth my workes vnto the end, to him will I giue power ouer nations,
Beti bakakome mu nkondo iyi kayi beti bakapitilishe kwinsa ncondayandanga kushikila ku mapwililisho, ninkabapeko ngofu shakwendelesha mishobo yonse.
27 And he shall rule them with a rodde of yron: and as the vessels of a potter, shall they be broken.
Nibakendeleshe mishobo ne nkoli ya cela, nibakapwayaule mishobo ya bantu mbuli ncebakute kutobaula nongo.
28 Euen as I receiued of my Father, so will I giue him the morning starre.
Mungofu shabwendeleshi shendalatambula kufuma kuli Bata. Nenjame ninkabape ntanda.
29 Let him that hath an eare, heare what the Spirite saith to the Churches.
“Na mukute matwi nyumfwani cilambanga Mushimu wa Lesa ku mibungano!”
