Revelation 2
1 UNTO the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
“Kwalela moeteledipele wa phuthego e e kwa Efeso lokwalo o mmolelele se: ke kwala ke go itsise molaetsa o o tswang mo go yo o tsamayang mo gare ga diphuthego a tsholetsa baeteledipele ba tsone ka seatla sa gagwe se segolo. O go raya a re:
2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
ke itse dilo tse di molemo tse o di dirang. Ke bonye tiro ya gago e e bokete e o e dirileng le bopelotelele jwa gago, ke a itse gore ga o itshokele boleo mo malokong a phuthego ya gago, ebile o sekasekile ka kelotlhoko ba ba ipitsang baaposetoloi mme e se bone. O bonye ka fa ba akang ka teng.
3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
O mpogetse ka bopelotelele o sa lape.
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
“Le fa go ntse jalo go na le sengwe se se sa siamang; ga o nthate jaaka lwa ntlha!
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
A ko o akanye ka dipaka tsa lorato lwa gago lwa ntlha (gore go pharologanyo jang gompieno)! Mme o boele gape kwa go nna o dire jaaka pele; kgotsa e seng jalo ke tlaa tla mme ke tlose setlhomo sa lobone lwa gago mo mannong a sone mo gare ga diphuthego.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
“Mme go na le selo sengwe ka ga gago se se molemo: o ila ditiro tse di makgapha tsa Banikolaitane, fela jaaka ke di ila.
7 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 tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
“A molaetsa o o thothomele mo ditsebeng tsa mongwe le mongwe yo o utlwang se Mowa o se buang le diphuthego: mongwe le mongwe yo o fenyang, ke tlaa mo naya loungo lo lo tswang mo setlharing sa Botshelo mo Paradaiseng ya Modimo.
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
“Kwalela Moeteledipele wa phuthego e e mo Semerena lokwalo lo o re: molaetsa o o tswa mo go ene yo e leng Tshimologo le Bokhutlo, yo o neng a sule mme a rula.
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
“Ke itse ka fa o bogelang Morena ka teng, e bile ke itse gotlhe ka khumanego ya gago (mme o na le dikhumo tsa selegodimo)! Ke itse kgobololo ya ba ba go ganetsang, ba ba reng ke Bajuta, bana ba Modimo, mme e se bone, gonne ba eme nokeng maikaelelo a ga Satane.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Lesa go boifa se o tlaa tlogang o se bogela, gonne Satane o tlaa akofa a latlhela bangwe ba lona mo kgolegelong go lo leka. O tlaa lo bogisa selekanyo sa ‘malatsi a le lesome’ Ikanyege le fa o lebaganye le loso, mme ke tlaa go naya serwalo sa botshelo, bokamoso jo bo galalelang jo bo sa khutleng.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
A mongwe le mongwe yo o utlwang, a reetse se Mowa o se buang le diphuthego: yo o fenyang ga a kitla a tlhokofadiwa ke loso lwa bobedi.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
“Kwalela Moeteledipele wa phuthego e e kwa Perefamose lokwalo lo o re: molaetsa o tswa kwa go Ene yo o tshotseng chaka e e lootsegileng ntlha tsoopedi.
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Ke itse ka botlalo gore o nna mo motsing o setilo sa ga Satane sa Bogosi se leng mo go one, kwa bogareng jwa kobamelo ya ga Satane; mme le fa go ntse jalo o ntse o ikanyega mo go nna, wa ba wa gana go intatola, le motlhang Antipase, mosupi wa me yo o ikanyegang, a neng a bolaelwa tumelo mo go lona ke balatedi ba ga Satane.
14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
“Mme le fa go ntse jalo ke na le dilo di se kae tse ke kgatlhanong nao ka tsone. O dumalana le bangwe mo go lona ba ba dirang jaaka Balame a ne a dira fa a ruta Balake go senya batho ba Iseraele ka go ba tsenya mo boakeng a bo a ba kgothatsa go ya medirong ya medimo ya disetwa.
15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Ee, o na le bangwe ba balatedi ba ga Balame!
16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
“Fetola mogopolo wa gago le maikutlo, e seng jalo ke tlaa tla kwa go wena ka tshoganetso ke ba tlhabantsha ka chaka ya molomo wa me.
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 will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
“A mongwe le mongwe yo o utlwang a reetse se mowa o se buang le diphuthego. Mongwe le mongwe yo o fenyang o tlaa ja ga mana a a fitlhilweng, kotla e e sa itseweng e e tswang legodimong; mme e tlaa naya mongwe le mongwe leje le lesweu, mme mo lejeng go tlaa kwalwa leina le lesha le motho ope a sa le itseng fa e se fela yo o le amogelang.
18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
“Kwalela Moeteledipele wa Phuthego e e kwa Thiatira Lokwalo lo o re: o ke molaetsa o o tswang kwa go Morwa Modimo, yo matlho a gagwe a ntseng jaaka dikgabo tsa molelo, yo dinao tsa gagwe di ntseng jaaka kgotlho e e phatshimang.
19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
Ke itse ditiro tsotlhe tsa gago tse di molemo, tshiamo ya gago mo bahumaneging, dimpho tsa gago le go ba direla, gape ke itse lorato lwa gago le tumelo le bopelotelele, e bile ke bona boiteko jwa gago jo bo tsweletseng pele mo dilong tsotlhe tse.
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
“Le fa go ntse jalo ke na le selo sengwe kgatlhanong le wena: o letlelela Jesebele, yo o ipitsang moporofiti wa sesadi, go ruta batlhanka ba me gore boaka ga se boleo jwa sepe; o ba kgothatsa go dira boaka le go ja nama e e tlhabetsweng medimo ya disetwa.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Ke mo neetse lobaka go fetola mogopolo wa gagwe le maikhutlo, mme o ganne.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Mme ela-tlhoko se ke se go bolelelang: ke tlaa mo robatsa mo bolaong, ka bolwetse jwa tlhokofatso e kgolo mmogo le balatedi ba gagwe ba ba itshekologileng, fa ba sa boele gape mo go nna, ba ikwatlhaela dibe tsa bone le ene;
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
mme ke tlaa bolaya bana ba gagwe. Mme diphuthego tsotlhe di tlaa itse gore ke nna yo ke sekasekang boteng jwa dipelo tsa batho, le megopolo; ke tlaa naya mongwe le mongwe wa lona se se mo tshwanetseng.
24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
“Lona ba lo setseng mo Thiatira ba lo sa latelang dithuto tse tsa tsietso (‘boammaaruri jo bo kwa teng’ jaaka ba bo bitsa, boammaaruri jwa ga Satane, tota) ga ke kitla ke tlhola ke lo kopa sepe, tshegetsang thata fela se lo nang naso go fitlhelela ke tla.
25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
“Go mongwe le mongwe yo o fenyang, yo kwa bofelong a ntseng a tsweletse go dira dilo tse di intumedisang, ke tlaa mo naya nonofo mo merafeng.
27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
O tlaa e busa ka thobane ya tshipi fela jaaka Rre a nneile taolo ya go ba busa; ba tlaa thubaganngwa jaaka pitsana ya letsopa e thubegile go nna dikapetlana.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
Mme ke tlaa lo naya Naledi ya Moso!
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
“A botlhe ba ba utlwang, ba reetse se Mowa o se buang le diphuthego.
