Revelation 2
1 “To the messenger of the Ephesian assembly write: These things says He who is holding the seven stars in His right hand, who is walking in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:
“Kumu ngelo wambungano yamu Efeso lemba boobu: Majwi ayooyo ujisi nyenyeezi zili musanu azibili mukuboko kwakwe kwalulyo alimwi ooyo weenda aakati kazibikilo zyamalampi aangolda zili musanu azibili,
2 I have known your works, and your labor, and your endurance, and that you are not able to bear evil ones, and that you have tried those saying themselves to be apostles and are not, and have found them liars,
“Ndilizi milimo yako, kubeleka changuzu alubo alukakatilo lwako, akuti tubotelwi ababi, pesi wabasunka aabo balyaamba kuti mba Apositolo pesi kabatali mbabo pe, alimwi wabajana kabali basikubeja.
3 and you bore, and have endurance, and have toiled because of My Name, and have not been weary.
Ulakakatila chakulansya moyo akunyampula zina lyangu, alimwi tukatede pe.
4 But I have against you that you left your first love!
Pesi biyo nchindaamba aanduwe nchakuti wakasiya luyando lwako lutaanzi.
5 Remember, then, from where you have fallen, and convert, and do the first works; and if not, I come to you quickly, and will remove your lampstand from its place—if you may not convert;
Kuyeeya aboobo kuzwa aawo mpuwakawida. Sanduka akuchita zintu eezyo zwzkachita lutaanzi. Kunze kwakuti usanduke, ndiyoboola kulinduwe alimwi ndiyoogwisya chibikilo chalampi aabusena bwacho.
6 but this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, that I also hate.
Pesi uli aacheechi: Usulide nchito zyaba Nikkolayiti, eezyo aandime nzindisulide.
7 He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming—I will give to him to eat of the Tree of Life that is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Akube kuti ooyo uli aakutwi, amvwe muuya nzyaambila mbungano. Kuli yooyo uzunda ndiyoomupa cheelelo chakuti akalye kumusamu wabuumi, ooyo uli mupaladayizi ya Leza.”
8 And to the messenger of the assembly of the Smyrneans write: These things says the First and the Last, who became dead and lived:
“Kuli Angelo wambungano yaku Similina lemba boobu: 'Majwa ayooyo mutaanzi amamanino, ooyo wakalifwide pesi waba muumi lubo:
9 I have known your works, and tribulation, and poverty—yet you are rich—and the slander of those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but [are] a synagogue of Satan.
“Ndilizi mapenzi aako abuchete bwako, pesi ulimuvubi. Ndilizi kuupawupa kwabaabo balyaamba kuti mba Juda, pesi tabali mbabo pe. Mbachikombelo cha Satani.
10 Do not be afraid of the things that you are about to suffer; behold, the Devil is about to cast [some] of you into prison, that you may be tried, and you will have tribulation ten days; become faithful to death, and I will give to you the garland of life.
Utayoowi mapenzi aayo nguutafwabe kulanga! Simwaaba waamba kuwalilwa bamwi banu muntolongo kuchitila kuti mukasunkwe, alimwi muyoopenzegwa kwamazuba aali kkumi. Kusyomeka kusikila kulufu, alimwi ndiyookupa musini wabuumi.
11 He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies: He who is overcoming may not be injured of the second death.
Ooyo ulaakutwi: ngamvwe muuya nzyaamba ku mbungano. Ooyo uzunda taakwe kuyoochiswa pe kulufu lwabili
12 And to the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says He who is having the sharp two-edged sword:
“Kuli Angelo wambungano yamu Pegamamu lemba boobu: 'Mjwi ayooyo ujisi panga libosya koonse koonse:
13 I have known your works, and where you dwell—where the throne of Satan [is]—and you hold fast My Name, and you did not deny My faith, even in the days in which Antipas [was] My faithful witness, who was put to death beside you, where Satan dwells.
“Ndilizi ooko nkukkala ooko chuuno cha Satani nkuchibede. Pesi ndijisilidi kuzina lyangu. Ndilizi kuti tulukakide pe lusyomo lwako kulindime, nikuba mumazuba a Antipasi kamboni wangu, uusyomekede kuli ndime, ooyo wakajayigwa akati kanu, ooko Satani nkwakkala.
14 But I have a few things against you: that you have there those holding the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices, and to commit whoredom;
Pesi ndili aazintu ziche biyo atala anduwe: Ulaabo nkuko ooko bamwi bajisilidi kunjiisyo ya Bbalamu, bakayiisya Bbalaki kuwaala chilebyo kunembo lyabana ba Isilayilikuti balye zyakulyazipiliidwe kumizimu akuli basimamambe.
15 so have you, even you, those holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans—which thing I hate.
Munzila njiyonya eeyo, ulaabo alimwi bamwi bajisilidi kunjisyo yaba Nikolayitani.
16 Convert! And if not, I come to you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
Sanduka, aboobo! kuti waleka, ndiyoofwambaana kuboola kulinduwe, ndiyootanguna nkondo ambabo apanga mumulomo wangu.
17 He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving [it].
Ooyo ulaakutwi, ngamvwe eezyo muuya nzyaamba kumbungano, kuli ooyo uzunda ndiyoomupa bbwe lituba lili azina pya lilembedwealindilyo aalindilyo, eelyo zina litakwe ulizi pesi ooyo alike ulitambula”
18 And to the messenger of the assembly of Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, who is having His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like to frankincense-colored brass:
“Kuli Angelo wambangano yamu Tiyatila lemba boobu: 'Aaya majwi aa Mwana wa Leza, ooyo uli ameso ali mbuli mabangabanga aamulilo azituta zyakwe mbuli mukuba upakulidwe:
19 I have known your works, and love, and ministry, and faith, and your endurance, and your works—and the last [are] more than the first.
“Ndilizi milimu yako: luyando alusyomo lwako ambukutawuka alukakatilo chakulamya moyo. Ndilizi kuti eezyo nzuwakachita muchiindi chayina ziinda nzuwakavhita lutaanz.
20 But I have a few things against you: that you allow the woman Jezebel, who is calling herself a prophetess, to teach, and to lead astray, My servants to commit whoredom, and to eat idol-sacrifices;
Pesi ndili acheechi atala aanduwe: Walekeleela mwanakazi Jezebbeli, ooyo ulyaamba kuti musinsimi kwiinda munjiisyo yakwe weena balanda bangu bumambi akulya zyakulya zyakapayilwa kuzikozyano.
21 and I gave to her a time that she might convert from her whoredom, and she did not convert;
Ndakamupa chiindi chakusanduka, pesi tayandi pe kusanduka kumamambe aakwe.
22 behold, I will cast her into a bed, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation—if they may not convert from her works,
Laanga! ndiyoomuwalila abulo bwa mwamatenda abaabo bachita bumambi anguwe mumafwabi mapati, kunze kwakuti basanduke kunchito zyabo.
23 and I will kill her children in death, and all the assemblies will know that I am He who is searching affections and hearts; and I will give to you—to each—according to your works.
Ndiyoobawuma akubajaya bana bakwe, alimwi zyoonse mbungano ziyooziba kuti ndime nindilinguluula mizeezo amoy. Ndiyoopaumwi awumwi mbuli nchito zyanu.
24 And to you I say, and to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, and who did not know the depths of Satan, as they say—I will not put on you another burden,
Pesi kuli nibamwi banu boonse bali mu Tiyatila, kuli woonse utajatisyi njiisyo mpawo katazi eezyo bamwi nzibaamba kuti zintu zisisikene zya Satani -kulinduwe ndaamba kuti tandibiki pe aambi makani alinduwe.'
25 but hold that which you have, until I may come;
Nikuba boobo kojatiliila mpawo aawo kusikila ndiboole.
26 and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping My works to the end, I will give to him authority over the nations,
Ooyo uzunda akubamba milimu yangu kusikila kumamanino, kuli yooyo ndiyoomupa nguzu aatala amisyobo yoonse.
27 and he will rule them with a rod of iron—they will be broken as the vessels of the potter—as I have also received from My Father;
Uyoobendelezya ankoli yalubulo, mbuli nongo zyabulongo uyoozipwasuula kuba zipanzi.
28 and I will give to him the morning star.
Mbuli mbundakatambula kuli Taata, Andime ndiyoomupa nyenyeezi ntanda yakubuchedeo.
29 He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
Ooyo ulaakutwi, ngamvwe muuya nzyaamba kumbungano.
