< Revelation 2 >

1 TO the angel of the Ephesian church write; These things saith he who grasps the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh round in the midst of the seven golden lamps;
“Udu kiti ngono kadura Kutelle kilari nlira in Afisawa nyertine: 'Uliru nlenge na a min iyini kuzore ncara ulime me. Ule na adin cinu nan nya tica nla nizinariya kuzore nworo nenge,
2 I know thy works, and thy travail, and thy patience, and that thou canst not bear the wicked; and hast tried those who give themselves out as apostles, yet are not, and hast found them liars;
“Meng yiru imon ile na una suu nin katwaa nijasi fe ayi asheu nin teru kibinai fe, ana fe wa sa uso ligowe nin na nan katwaa kananzang ba, uminin na dumun alenge na idin su inung nono kadura, a na nanere yi ta ba, inanin se nani nin kinuu.
3 and hast borne, and hast exercised patience, and for my name sake hast endured great toil, and hast not fainted.
Meng yiru nsheu nteru kibinai fe, umini na neo kang bara lisa ning, a na una lanza kudirya ba.
4 Yet have I a charge against thee, that thou art gone back from thy first love.
Vat nani ndi nin nimon nivira nin fi, bara na una sun usuu nburnu fe.
5 Remember then from whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and practise thy first works; but if not, I am coming to thee quickly, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou repent.
Lizino kiti kanga na una diu ku. Suna kulapi fe usu imon ile na una suzu nin burne. A se na ucino likara li nanza fe ba, in wang dak mba da kalu kuca nle kitene.
6 But this thou holdest, that thou abhorrest the deeds of the Nicolatans, which I also abhor.
Bara na udi nin lele, udin shina nile imon na an Nikolitiya na su, ile wang na meng nari.
7 He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches, To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Andi udi nin kutuf, lanza imon ile na Uruhu din bellu nilari nliru Kutelle. Ule na a leo likume mba yinunghe ali kucan lai, ko na kudi kipin tigo Kutelle'.
8 And to the angel of the church of the Smyrnians write, These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and is alive:
“Udu kitin gono kadura Kutelle kilarin nlira in Sumaniya nyertine: Ulelere uliru nlenge na awa di nburnue nin ni maline, ulenge na awa ku amini na ti ulai tutung:
9 I know thy works, and thy tribulation, and thy poverty (though thou art rich), and the calumnies of those who say they are Jews, yet are not, but are Satan’s synagogue.
“Meng yiru uniu nin likimon fe. (amma udin nin se), nin wulsu na lenge na idininsu innung a Yahudawari (a na naniere ba, ina dii kilarin nlirun Shaitanghari).
10 Fear nothing from the things which thou shalt suffer: lo! the devil will cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have a ten day’s tribulation: be thou faithful until death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Na iw a lanza fiu nile imon na iba niu mung ba. Yenen! Kugwergenue din cinu u tuu among mine nan nya kilari licin inan dumun minu, iba niu nan nya nayiri li kure. Yitan ni nayi a kone uduru ukul, meng ma ni minu Litappa nlai.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. He that overcometh shall receive no injury from the second death.
Andi udi nin kutuf, lanza imon ile na Uruhu din belu ninlari nliru Kutell. e Ulenge na aleo likumme na ukul nmba ba seghe ba.
12 And to the angel of the church at Pergamos write, These things saith he who holdeth the sharp two-edged sword;
“Cindu udura nikilisiyan Perigamum nyerte: 'Tuo nye re ttigulan nlengee na adi nin kisangali nlikang nasariaba:
13 I know thy works and where thou hast thy abode, even where Satan’s throne is erected: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days when Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was put to death among you, where Satan dwelleth.
“'Myen yiru kika na usosin ku-kika na lichur nshaitan nnghari. Vat nani umiin lisa nighye parrt, na usuu nntala nni kibinai fye nmi ba, wan nin nya nayirin Antipas iyizin yenu ning, unan liyisin nanya ninghe, nai wa mdu nan ninghe, kikanye na shaitan sosinku.
14 Yet I have a few things against thee, that thou hast there some who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to lay a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, to eat of idol sacrifices, and to commit whoredom.
Nya nani ndi ning nimon baat ugan ninf: Udi ning namon na imiin gangan madudurzun Balaam, na awa duro Balak ku a filo kutalan tiru nbun nnonon Isruila, unang sye ilyeu imon nli njuju uhem nna kwu tichil inin su nzemzem nmulsu.
15 Thou hast also some who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which I abhor.
Libau lirumere, i di ning na le wan na imiin gangan madudursuzu na Nikolainiyawa.
16 Repent! but if not, I am coming to thee quickly, and will war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Kwilzinan, nanere! An nanari ba, mba dak nfi dyedei, mba dak nin su likum kitenye minye ning kisangali na ki nuzu nanya nnuu ning.
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches, To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white pebble, and upon the pebble a new name inscribed, which no man knoweth except the person who receiveth it.
Asa udi nin kutuf, lanza imeile na unangwaru din belu ikilisiyai. Cindu nlengyye na a lyeu, mba nyinghe ummong u manna nau nyeshin, nning ninghye litala libau ning lisa lipesye na i nyertinye kutalye, lisa lo na umon yiru ba nngiwaa unan serye rye yiru.
18 And to the angel of the church which is at Thyatira write, These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like the molten brass;
“Cindu udura ilisiyan Thyatira nyertine: 'Alenge nye rye agwulan Nsaun Kutelleh, ulenge na iyizi mye di fuo lilyem nnla nin nabunu nafuo ikoroishine na, na weltin:
19 I know thy deeds, and thy love, and thy charity to the poor, and thy faith, and thy patience, and thy works, and that the last are more abundant than the first.
“'Nyire imoilee na umai ti. Usuu fye nin ntikibinai nin katwa nin terun nkotunu, wan nin nimoile na una worin nsu ikata in cizinue.
20 Yet I have a few things against thee, because thou hast suffered that woman Jezabel, calling herself a prophetess, to teach, and to lead my servants into error, to commit whoredom, and eat the idol sacrifices.
Nin nyanani ndi nin nimon nnari kitene fye: U yinna nin wani unye Jezebel, na adinsu amye uwa nanan nyenju nimon nchinu. Nnya madursudurzu mye, adin rusuzu a cin nnin isuu nzemnzen nmulsu nin nnli nimonnli nainakwa tichil.
21 And I gave her a space that she should repent of her whoredom, and she hath not repented.
Nna nnighye kubi a kwilin, na a yinna a kwilin ba a suun nzemzem nye ba.
22 Behold, I am about to cast her on a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.
Yenje! Menba filu nnghe unonku ro nkonu, nin na lenge na ichindin nmolsu nanghe cin piru nijasi idya, ankuru na i kwilla nnuzu nimon nsu mye ba.
23 And I will slay her children by death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you, even to every one, according to your works.
Mbaa dazunu nonomye ikuzu, vat niklisiyai ba nin yinnu ning woru myeri din piziru nibinai nin na nyanti nimon. Mba nnyi vat nlenge na asuu imon ile na unit risuu.
24 But to you I say, and to the rest that are at Thyatira, as many as do not hold this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak, I will lay upon them no other burden.
Nanyere kagisin minye nnyan Thyatira, cindu vat na lye na isali sa u minnu madursuzu ma nye, inin tani imoile na idinsu muun imon ichancham nshaitan-udu nnghinu ndinsu, 'Na myen ba kwin minu nmong nugetyek ku ba.'
25 Nevertheless that which you have, hold fast till I come.
Sa isu nnyiziari, uba minuarye part uchicha cin dak nin.
26 And he who overcometh, and perseveres in my works unto the end, to him will I give authority over the nations;
Ulenge na alyeu nin iye na suu imoilye na myen nsuu cindu liganghe, cindu nghe mba nyi likalin kityenye timinn.
27 he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as a potter’s vessels they shall be broken in pieces, even as I have received authority from my Father:
'Amye ba sun tigo kityeneminye nin ncha fikoro, fuo a dul tiwing a baa puchua ni chinchwun.
28 and I will give him the star of the morning.
Na fuo na nsere kitin Ncif nin, mme wang ba nnighe fibir.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Asa u di nin kutuf, lanza imoile na unangwaru din bellu Iklisiyai.'
