< Revelation 2 >
1 "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: "He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:
“Dee akwụkwọ nye mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ dị nʼEfesọs, sị ya: Ihe ndị a bụ okwu si nʼọnụ onye ahụ na-ejide kpakpando asaa nʼaka ya, ma na-ejegharịkwa nʼetiti ihe ịdọba oriọna ọlaedo asaa ndị ahụ.
2 "I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.
Amaara m ihe niile banyere ọrụ gị niile. Ahụkwala m ịrụsị ọrụ ike gị na ntachiobi gị. Amaara m na ị dịghị anagide ndị ajọ omume, na ị nwaleela ndị ahụ niile na-akpọ onwe ha ndị ozi, ma ha abụghị ndị ozi nʼezie, chọpụtakwa na ha bụ ndị ụgha.
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary.
I jirila ntachiobi nagide nhụju anya nʼihi aha m, ma ike agwụghị gị.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
Ma enwere m ihe ndị a megide gị. Ị hapụla ịhụnanya mbụ ahụ i nwere.
5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.
Cheta ọnọdụ i si na ya daa. Chegharịa, mekwa ihe ndị ahụ ị na-eme na mbụ. Ọ bụrụ na i meghị otu a, aga m abịa wepụ ihe ịdọba oriọna gị site nʼọnọdụ ya.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Ọ bụladị otu a, o nwere ihe ụfọdụ dị mma banyere gị. Ị kpọrọ ọrụ ọjọọ nke ndị Nikolaitan asị, dịka mụ onwe m si kpọọ ya asị.
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Rukha says to the congregations. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
Onye ọbụla nwere ntị, ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ Nsọ na-agwa nzukọ. Onye ahụ na-emeri emeri ka m ga-enye ike iri mkpụrụ sitere nʼosisi ndụ ahụ nke dị na paradaịs nke Chineke.
8 "To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: "The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
“Dee akwụkwọ nye mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ dị na Smyrna, sị ya: Ihe ndị a bụ okwu ahụ bụ Mmalite na Ọgwụgwụ ihe niile. Onye nwụrụ anwụ ma dịkwa ndụ ọzọ.
9 "I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satana.
Amaara m mkpagbu gị niile na ịda ogbenye gị. Ma nʼezie, ị bụ ọgaranya. Amaara m ihe banyere nkwutọ niile ndị ahụ na-akpọ onwe ha ndị Juu na-ekwutọ gị, ma ha abụghị ndị Juu, nʼezie ha bụ ụlọ nzukọ ekwensu.
10 Do not be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Atụkwala egwu nʼihi ihe ahụ gaje ịbịakwasị gị. Nʼihi na ekwensu nʼonwe ya gaje ime ka a tụba ụfọdụ nʼime ndị gị nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, ka o jiri ya nwalee gị. A ga-akpagbu unu abalị iri. Ma gosi onwe gị onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, ọ bụladị ruo mgbe ọnwụ ga-abịakwasị gị. Emesịa, a ga m enye gị okpueze ahụ, bụ ndụ.
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Rukha says to the congregations. He who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death.
Onye ọbụla nwere ntị ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ Nsọ na-agwa nzukọ niile. Onye ọbụla na-emeri emeri, ọnwụ nke ugboro abụọ agaghị emekpa ya ahụ.
12 "To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
“Dee akwụkwọ nye mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ dị Pegamọm, sị ya: Ndị a bụ okwu si nʼọnụ onye ahụ ji mma agha ahụ dị nkọ nke nwere ihu abụọ nʼaka ya.
13 "I know where you dwell, where Satana's throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas, my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satana dwells.
Amaara m ebe i bi, bụ obodo ebe ekwensu nwere ocheeze ya. Ma ị na-anọgidesi ike nʼaha m. Ị jụrụ ịgọnarị okwukwe gị nʼime m, ọ bụladị nʼoge Antipas onyeama m kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, bụ onye e gburu nʼobodo unu, ebe ekwensu bi.
14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Belam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the people of Israyel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
Ma enwere m ihe ole ma ole megide gị. I nwere ụfọdụ mmadụ ebe ahụ, ndị jidesiri nkuzi Belam ike, bụ onye kuziiri Balak ka o raa ụmụ Izrel ụra nke mere ka ha mehie, rie ihe a chụrụ nʼaja nye arụsị, kwaakwa iko.
15 So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.
Nʼotu aka ahụ, i nwekwara ụfọdụ mmadụ ndị jidesiri nkuzi Nikolaitan ike.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Ya mere, chegharịa! Ma ọ bụghị otu a, aga m abịakwute gị ọsịịsọ jiri mma agha dị m nʼọnụ buso ha agha.
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Rukha says to the congregations. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.
Onye ọbụla nwere ntị, ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ Nsọ na-agwa nzukọ niile. Ọ bụ naanị onye na-emeri emeri ka m ga-enye ụfọdụ nʼime achịcha mánà ahụ e zoro ezo. Aga m enyekwa onye ahụ ezi nkume ọcha ahụ, nke edekwasịrị aha ọhụrụ nʼelu ya, nke onye ọbụla ọzọ na-agaghị amata, karịa onye ahụ natara ya.
18 "To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: "The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished bronze, says these things:
“Dee akwụkwọ nye mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ dị na Tiatira, sị ya: Ndị a bụ okwu sitere nʼaka Ọkpara Chineke, onye anya ya na-enwuba nʼebe niile dị ka ire ọkụ. Ụkwụ ya kwa na-egbu maramara dị ka bronz a nụchara nke ọma.
19 "I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
Amaara m ọrụ gị niile, na ịhụnanya gị, na okwukwe gị. Amakwaara m ije ozi gị na ntachiobi gị, na-ahụkwa na ị na-arụ ọrụ ugbu a karịa ka i mere na mbụ.
20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
Ma enwere m ihe ndị a megide gị. Ị na-anabata nwanyị ahụ a na-akpọ Jezebel, onye na-ekwupụta na ya bụ onye amụma nwanyịnye ya ohere ka o were nkuzi asị na-eduhie ndị ohu m ụzọ, ka ha kwaa iko, riekwa ihe e ji chụọrọ arụsị aja.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
Enyela m ya ohere ka o si na mmehie ya chegharịa, ma ọ jụrụ ichegharị site na ndụ ịkwa iko.
22 Look, I will throw her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
Lee, aga m etinye ya nʼute ahụhụ, meekwa ka ndị ya na ha na-akwa iko taa ahụhụ dị ukwuu. Ọ bụ naanị ma ha chegharịrị ka ihe ndị a na-agaghị abịakwasị ha.
23 I will kill her children with Death, and all the congregations will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
Ma nʼebe ụmụ ya nọ, aga m etigbu ha ka ha nwụọ. Nzukọ niile ga-amata na abụ m onye na-enyocha mmụọ na mkpụrụobi niile. Aga m akwụghachikwa onye ọbụla nʼime unu ụgwọ ọrụ kwesiri ọrụ ya.
24 But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who do not know what some call 'the deep things of Satana,' to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
Ugbu a, ana m agwa unu ndị fọdụrụ na Tiatira, unu ndị na-agbasoghị ozizi ya, ndị na-amụtabekwaghị ihe ndị ahụ ekwensu kpọrọ ihe nzuzo dị omimi, ‘O nweghị ibu arọ ọzọ m ga-ebokwasị unu,
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
ma ọ bụghị, unu jidesienụ ihe unu nwere aka ike tutu ruo mgbe m ga-abịa.’
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
Ma onye ọbụla na-emeri emeri, na-anọgidekwa na-eme uche m ruo ọgwụgwụ ihe niile, ka m ga-enye ikike nʼebe mba niile nọ.
27 He will rule them with an iron scepter, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:
Onye ahụ, ‘ga-eji mkpara igwe chịa ha, dịka mgbe a kụwachara ite aja na mpekele na mpekele.’Ọ bụladị ka Nna m si nye m ike,
28 and I will give him the morning star.
a ga-enye onye nke meririnụ kpakpando ụtụtụ.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Rukha says to the congregations.
Onye ọbụla nwere ntị, ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ Nsọ na-agwa nzukọ niile.
