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;
“Hwa ntumi bhe kanisa elya Efeso simba: 'Ege mazu egola ya khatilie zila entondwe saba hikhono gwakwe olelo. Omwene yajenda mwinara vyedhahabu evye tala saba ayanga eshi, “
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;
“'Emenye zyobhombile adigane hwaho mbombo navumilile hwaho hasa naje howezizye, ahonvwawe nabhobhalibha bhibhi, naobhalenjele wonti wabhawikwizya bhatumwa kumbesebhabho bhabhoneshe bhilenka.
3 and hast borne, and hast exercised patience, and for my name sake hast endured great toil, and hast not fainted.
Emenye aje ulige ngolo navumilile, na oshiliye minji husababu witawa lyane, solitili osele.
4 Yet have I a charge against thee, that thou art gone back from thy first love.
Lelo ili lyalyelyo lyendinalyo mhati mwaho, oleshile oluganano waho owahwande.
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.
Eshi izuha poha gwiye, otowe na bhombe embombo gohabhombaga afume hale. Nkashele sotowa embahwenzu huliwe nahwefwe eshinara shao afume apene.
6 But this thou holdest, that thou abhorrest the deeds of the Nicolatans, which I also abhor.
Lelo olinelo ogavitwa gala galagabhagambile Awanikolai gabhabhombile hatanene engavitwa.
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.
Nkashile olinikutu, tejezya gala ege Mpepo gegabhozya amakanisa nolayagamena. Embahupele eshibali eshalye afume mwikwi elyehwomi wauli humwanja wa Ngolobhe.'
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:
“Wantumwa wikanisa lya Smirna na simba: 'Ega mazugola yali wahwande na malishile yafwiye nabhe mwomi nantele:
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.
'“Engamenye amayemba gao nope na waho (lelo awe oli tajili), ni lenka hwabhala bhabhawikwizya bhayahudi (lelo siyo - sebhebho sinagogi lya shetani).
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.
Osahogope namayemba gagahumwaje. Enya! Oshetani alwabhataje badhi yenyu hwijela aje mlegwe napate amayemba hunsiku kumi. Mbhanje bhaminifu paka afwe, na nitawapa taji ya uzima.
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.
Nkashile olinikutu, tejeleza Ompepo sagabhozya amakanisa. Olayagamena sabhapate amadhara eyefwa yabhele.'
12 And to the angel of the church at Pergamos write, These things saith he who holdeth the sharp two-edged sword;
“Hwa ntumi ebhe kanisa lya Pergamo simba: 'Ega gayanga oyo yalinipanga ikyali, wawiwoji wonti wonti hubhele.
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.
'“Emenye pokhala -papali itengo elye shemwene haesho. Awe walita sana itawalyane, nasagaoikulila zya Antipasi oketiwane, omwaminifu wane, yafwiye mwamlanamwe epo papepo Setani pakhala.
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.
Lelo endi nenongwa nyishe nawe: olina bhantu bhabhakhata efundizyo ya Baalamu, omwene yafundizizye o Balaki abheshe oluvisyo witagalila lya bhana bha Israeli, aje bhalye vyavifumiziwe sadaka humangolobhe na hwilongo.
15 Thou hast also some who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which I abhor.
Huhali yeyo hatawewe olinabho bhashe bhabha khata enfundizyo ya Wanikolai.
16 Repent! but if not, I am coming to thee quickly, and will war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Basi towa! Nkashele sobhomba esho, iwenza nanali, naneembabhombe ibho hwabhene hwipanga afume hwilomu lyane.
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.
Nkashele ohonvwa onvwa Ompepo zabhabhozya amakanisa. Ola yabhamene, embalumpele, badhi ya ela imana yehafisilwe, itawa lyashele nomo yalimenye esipokuo yoyo yaliposhela.'
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;
“Hwa utumi wikanisa elya Thiatira simba: “Ega ga mazu aga Mwana wa Ngolobhe, omwene yalinamaso gakwe nashi omele gwe mwoto, ne nyayo nashi eshaba yesuhuliwe sana:
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.
““Emenye lyobhombile - olugano lwale no lweteho nehuduma no vumilivu waho tee, aje hala hahabhombile eshisheshi zawadi yahala hohabhombile pahwande.
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.
Lelo endinalyo elihuliwe: ohuvumilila oshe oYezebeli yahwikwizya yoyookuwashee. Hunfundizyo zyakwe, abhatezya asontezo bhane azini na alye eshalye shashele shifumizie sadaka hu sanamu.
21 And I gave her a space that she should repent of her whoredom, and she hath not repented.
Ehapie ensiku ezya hweteshe, lelo sagali tayali aweteshe embibhi zyakwe.
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.
Enya embahutaje pashita eshembina, na bhala bhabhabhomba omalaya bhape humayemba amakhali, olwenje bheteshe habhombile.
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.
Embabha khome abhana bhabho bhafwe namakanisa gonti bhamanye aje anene hwenya amawazo netama. Embahupele kila omo wenyu shila zyabhomba hwakwe.
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.
Lelo bhamohulimwe mwamsageye hu Thiatira, mwenti mwashele semkhata nfundizyo eli, na mwashele semmenye hala hahali malibho ga Setani, eyanga hulimwe, 'sembabheshe pamwanya palimwe izigo lyolyonti.'
25 Nevertheless that which you have, hold fast till I come.
Wijambo lyonti, lazima mbhengangali pakaehayenza.
26 And he who overcometh, and perseveres in my works unto the end, to him will I give authority over the nations;
Yayanti yagamena nabhombe hala shila shenshibhombile paka amalishile wamwene embahupele adalaka pamwanya epensi.
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:
'Ayibhatowala hundesa eyeijela, nashi embakuli ezyilongo, abhabhabudulanye vipisi vipisi.'
28 and I will give him the star of the morning.
Nashi sehaposheye afume hwa Baba wane, embahupele nantele entondwe eyasapwiti.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Nkoli nikutu, tejezya lila lyashele Ompepo agabhola amakanisa.'
