< Revelation 2 >

1 "To the angel of the congregation in Ephesus write: "He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:
“Gulembi hangu kwa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa shipinga sha wantu shawamjimira Yesu wa aku Efesu. “Neni yankola ntondu zilii saba pakati pa liwoku lyangu lya mliwu na yomberi kagendagenda muvintambi saba vya limuliku lya zaabu, ntakula hangu,
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 emissaries, and they are not, and found them false.
nuvimana matendu gaku goseri, nuvimana ntambu yagugangamala na kuhepelera kwaku. Nuvimana handa hapeni guwahepeleri wantu wadoda, guwajelisiya walii yawalitakulira kuwera wantumintumi na kumbiti ndiri, guyambuliti womberi ndo wapaya.
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary.
Gwenga gwanawu uhepelera, guhepelera kwa kutabika kuvuwa kwajili ya litawu lyangu, kumbiti guwuya ndiri kumbeli.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
Kumbiti nanashi shitwatira shimu shakukuberiziya, gwenga gunfira ndiri kayi vinu gambira kwanja.
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.
Su guliholi ntambu yaguweriti pamberi pa kuguwa, gukawungami na kutenda ntambu yagutenditi kwanja. Hera hangu, niza kwa gwenga na kushiwusiya shintambi shaku pahala pakuwi.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Kumbiti nukuzyuma kwa shintu shimu, gwenga gugakalalira gawagatenda Wanikolayi ntambu yanugakalalira neni.”
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach 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.
“Yakawera na makutu su kapikaniri weri galii Rohu yakavigambira vipinga vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu! “Mkanka hanumpanani kuliya mabwajubwaju ga mtera gwa ukomu yagulikala mu shiwunga sha Mlungu.
8 "To the angel of the congregation in Smyrna write: "The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
“Gulembi hangu kwa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa shipinga sha wantu shawamjimira Yesu wa aku Simurina. “Avi ndo visoweru vya ulii gwa kwanja na gwa upeleru, namweni howiti na kulikala kayi, nonga hangu.
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 Satan.
Nuzimana ntabika zyaku, nuumana viraa uhushu waku, tembera nakaka gwenga ndo mlunda, nuzimana nyengu zyawakutendiriti walii yawalishema Wayawudi kumbiti Wayawudi ndiri wanakaka, su ndo shipinga shakuwi Shetani!
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.
Nagutira nakamu kwa galii hagakutendi gutenduwi. Gupikaniri! Shetani hakawajeri kwa kuwatula wamu wenu mshibetubetu, mwenga hamtabiki kwa katepu mashaka lilongu. Muweri waminika mpaka kuhowa, naneni hanuwapanani lijenjeri lya ukomu.”
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach says to the congregations. He who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death.
“Yakawera na makutu su kapikaniri weri galii Rohu yakavigambira vipinga vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu! “Mkanka hapeni katenduwi nakamu na kuhowa kwa pili.
12 "To the angel of the congregation in Pergamum write: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
“Gulembi hangu kwa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa shipinga sha wantu shawamjimira Yesu wa aku Perigamu. “Avi ndo visoweru vya ulii yakawera na upanga ukalipa wana ukola kuwili.
13 "I know where you dwell, where Satan'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 Satan dwells.
Nukumana kwagulikala. Gwenga gulikala pahala papawera na shibanta sha ufalumi wa Shetani! Kumbiti gwankali mwaminika kwa neni. Gunemiti ndiri kunjimira ata lishaka lilii lya Antipa, kapitawu gwangu mwaminika, ulii pakalagitwi pakati pamwenga palii pakalikala Shetani.
14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
Kumbiti nanaga madidini kwa mwenga gaherepa ndiri. Muwera na wantu yawakola mafundu ga Balamu yakamfunditi Balaki kuwalekaniziya wana wa Israeli waliyi viboga vyawatambikiriti vinyagu na kutenda uhumba.
15 So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.
Ntambu iraayi, kwana wamu wenu wantu vilaa yawafata mafundu ga Wanikolayi.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Su guleki madoda. Hera hangu, hanizi kwa gwenga kanongola na kulikomanga na wantu awa kwa upanga waulawa mumlomu mwaneni.
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach 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.
“Yakawera na makutu su kapakiniri weri galii Rohu kankuvigambira vipinga vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu! “Mkanka hakampanani shiboga shawashishema mana, shilii shashififikiti. Hanumpanani vulaa libuwi lifufu lyalilembitwi litawu lya syayi lyeni kwahera muntu yakalimaniti ira walii hera yawalyankiti.
18 "To the angel of the congregation 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:
“Gulembi hangu kwa wantumintumi wa kumpindi wa vipinga vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu wa aku Tuatira, awu ndo ujumbi wa Mwana gwa Mlungu, masu gakuwi gang'ereng'eta gambira motu, na magulu gakuwi gang'ereng'eta gambira shaba yawasuguliti.
19 "I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
Nuvimana vitwatira vyaku vyoseri. Nuumana ufiru waku na njimiru yaku na untumintumi waku na uhepeleru waku. Gwenga gutenda viherepa nentu vinu kuliku kwanja palii.
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.
Kumbiti nanashi shitwatira shimu kwa gwenga shiherepa ndiri. Gwenga gulijimilirana ndiri na mdala ulii Yezeberi yakalishema mbuyi gwa Mlungu, yakafunda na kuwapotuziya wantumintumi waneni watendi uhumba na kuliya viboga vyavitambikilitwi vinyagu.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
Numupanana shipindi sha kuleka madoda, kumbiti kalema kulekana na uhumba wakuwi.
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.
Gupikaniri! Vinu nankumwazibu kwa malweli yomberi pamuhera na woseri yawatenditi uhumba nayu, hawapananwi ntabika nkulu handa pawaleka ndiri madoda matendu gawu madoda gawatenditi nayomberi.
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.
Kayi hanuwalagi wantumini wakuwi, su vipinga vya wantu vyamjimira Yesu vyoseri vivimani handa neni ndo yandolandola myoyu na maholu ga wantu. Na hanumtozi kila yumu kulawirana na matendu gakuwi.
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 Satan,' to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
“Kumbiti wamonga mwenga yamuwera aku Tuatira mfata ndiri mafundu gakuwi Yezeberi na mlifunditi ndiri shilii shawashishemiti bada ya Shetani, nuwagambireni kuwera hapeni nuwapanani shisanka shamonga.
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
Mwenga mkoleleri galii gamuwera naga vinu mpaka paniza kayi.”
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
Mkanka na yakendereya kutenda vitwatira vyanuvifira mpaka upeleru, hanumpanani ukulu kwa wantu wa maisi.
27 He will rule them with an iron scepter, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:
Handa neni nanka ukulu kulawa kwa Tati gwangu na yomberi hakawalonguziyi kwa luhonga lwa shuma na kuwamegamega gambira vyombu vya litapaka.
28 and I will give him the morning star.
Kayi hanumpanani ntondu ya mandawira.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach says to the congregations.
“Yakawera na makutu su kagapikiniri weri galii Rohu yakavigambira vipinga vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu!
