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:
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Efeso wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo akwata emmunyeenye omusanvu mu ngalo ze mu mukono gwe ogwa ddyo, oyo atambulira wakati w’ebikondo by’ettaala omusanvu ebya zaabu.
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,
Nti mmanyi ebikolwa byo n’okugumiikiriza kwo, era nga tosobola kugumiikiriza bakozi ba bibi era ng’ogezesezza abo abeeyita abatume n’obavumbula nga balimba.
3 and you bore, and have endurance, and have toiled because of My Name, and have not been weary.
Era ogumiikirizza okubonaabona n’oguma olw’erinnya lyange, n’otokoowa.
4 But I have against you that you left your first love!
Naye nnina ensonga gye nkuvunaana: tokyanjagala nga bwe wanjagalanga edda.
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;
Noolwekyo jjukira we waseeseetuka. Weenenye, onjagale nga bwe wanjagalanga edda. Naye bw’otookole bw’otyo ndijja gy’oli ne nzigyawo ekikondo ky’ettaala yo mu kifo kyakyo, okuggyako nga weenenya.
6 but this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, that I also hate.
Wabula ekirungi ekikuliko kye kino: okyawa ebikolwa by’Abanikolayitinga nange bwe mbikyawa.
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.
Alina amatu, awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo. Oyo awangula ndimuwa okulya ku muti ogw’obulamu oguli mu nnimiro ya Katonda.
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:
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Sumuna wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera Owoolubereberye era Owenkomerero eyali afudde oluvannyuma n’azuukira n’aba mulamu,
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.
nti mmanyi okubonaabona kwo n’obwavu bwo, naye ng’oli mugagga, era n’okulimirira kw’abo abeeyita Abayudaaya songa ssi Bayudaaya, wabula kuŋŋaaniro lya Setaani.
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.
Temutya n’akatono ebyo bye mugenda okubonaabona. Laba Setaani anaatera okusiba abamu ku mmwe mu makomera okubagezesa. Muliyigganyizibwa okumala ennaku kumi ddamba. Mubeere beesigwa okutuusa okufa, nange ndibawa engule ey’obulamu.
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.
Alina amatu, awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo. Oyo awangula talifa mulundi gwakubiri.
12 And to the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says He who is having the sharp two-edged sword:
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’e Perugamo wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo alina ekitala ekyogi eky’obwogi obubiri
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.
nti, Mmanyi gy’obeera awo awali entebe y’obwakabaka bwa Setaani, kyokka ng’onywezezza erinnya lyange era wasigala n’okukkiriza kwo, ne mu biseera Antipa omujulirwa wange omwesigwa mwe yattirwa wakati mu mmwe, eyo Setaani gy’abeera.
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;
Naye nkulinako ensonga ntono: eyo olinayo ab’enjigiriza eya Balamu eyayigiriza Balaki okutega abaana ba Isirayiri omutego n’abaliisa ennyama ey’omuzizo eyassaddaakirwa eri bakatonda abalala, era n’okwenda.
15 so have you, even you, those holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans—which thing I hate.
Ate era olinayo n’abakkiririza mu njigiriza y’Abanikolayiti.
16 Convert! And if not, I come to you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
Noolwekyo weenenye, bw’otookikole ndijja mangu ne nnwanyisa abantu abo n’ekitala eky’omu kamwa kange.
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].
Alina amatu, awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo. Oyo awangula ndimuwa ku maanu eyakwekebwa. Era ndimuwa ejjinja eryeru eriwandiikiddwako erinnya eriggya eritamanyiddwa muntu mulala yenna wabula oyo aliweereddwa.”
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:
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Suwatira wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera Omwana wa Katonda, oyo alina amaaso agali ng’ennimi ez’omuliro, n’ebigere ebimasamasa ng’ekikomo ekizigule
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.
nti, Mmanyi ebikolwa byo, n’okwagala kwo, n’okukkiriza kwo, n’obutuukirivu bwo, n’okugumiikiriza kwo, era n’ebikolwa byo eby’oluvannyuma bisinga ebyasooka.
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;
Kyokka nkulinako ensonga eno. Ogumiikiriza omukazi Yezeberi eyeeyita nnabbi omukazi akyamya abaweereza bange ng’abayigiriza obwenzi n’okulya emmere eweereddwayo eri bakatonda abalala.
21 and I gave to her a time that she might convert from her whoredom, and she did not convert;
Namuwa ekiseera yeenenye, kyokka tayagala kwenenya bwenzi bwe.
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,
Laba, ndimulwaza obulwadde obulimusuula ku ndiri, era n’abo baayenda nabo mbatuuse ku bulumi obw’amaanyi, okuggyako nga beenenyezza ebikolwa byabwe.
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.
Era nditta abaana be. Olwo Ekkanisa zonna ziryoke zitegeere nti nkebera emitima n’ebirowoozo era ndibasasula ng’ebikolwa byabwe bwe biri.
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,
Kale mmwe abalala abali mu Suwatira abatagoberera kuyigiriza kuno abatamanyi bintu bya Setaani eby’obuziba ng’enjogera bw’egamba, sigenda kubassaako mugugu mulala.
25 but hold that which you have, until I may come;
Wabula munyweze nnyo kye mulina okutuusa lwe ndijja.
26 and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping My works to the end, I will give to him authority over the nations,
Oyo aliwangula era n’oyo alisigala ng’akola emirimu gyange okutuusa ku nkomerero, ndimuwa obuyinza okufuga amawanga.
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;
‘Alibafuga n’omuggo ogw’ekyuma, n’abayasaayasa ng’ayasaayasa ebibya eby’ebbumba.’
28 and I will give to him the morning star.
Era ndimuwa emmunyeenye ey’enkya nga nange bwe nagiweebwa Kitange.
29 He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.
