< 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:
Diani ne ki teni Efesi Kiristi jaancagli maleki: Ne tie yua n muubi ŋmaabila lele o nuujienu, ki cuoni wula fidsantuankaani lele siiga nni ya lanbona i,
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.
“N bani ŋan tieni yaali yeni ŋan sɔni ya tuoncianli yeni a juunli mɔndli (ŋaniali). N bani ke ŋaa tieni nibiadba nunmanga. N bani ke a bigni yaaba n yedi ke bi tie tonda kaa tie ba, ki bandi ke bi tie faagu danba i.
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary.
N bani ke a mɔndi ki juuni, ki go ga fala hali boncianla n ya yeli po, ama, li naa wadi a pali.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
Ama, n ba jalgi a yeni ŋan lindi a cincinbuama.
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.
Lanwani ii, ŋan ya tiani ŋan cindi ki baa naani. ŋan tuubi, ki guani ki ya tiendi ŋan den kpia ki tiendi maama. A yaa tuubi, n ba cua a kani ki ñani a fidsantuankaanu, un ye naani.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Ama n bani yaali n tie a ŋandi: a yie Nikolasi yaaba tuada, N mo ń yie yaali n yeni.
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
Yua n pia a tuba wan cengi foŋanma ń maadi Kiristi jaancaga yaali. Yua n kɔni mi jama, ki paadi, n ba puni o u sanu wan di li miali tibu yaabu n se U Tienu Diema nni.'”
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:
Diani ki teni Simiirni jaancagli maleki: Yua cindi yeni yua n juodi, Yua n den kpe ki go ji fo lanbona n ne:
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.
N bani a cacagma, yeni a namu ama a tie piado i. N bani yaaba n yedi ke bi tie Juufinba ki naa tie ba jonjongu. Bi tie Sutaani jaandiegu yaaba i.
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.
Da jie ya fala n bili ki guu a. Diidi! Sutani bobindi ki ba cuo ki luoni i siiga nni nitianba li dansaldieli nni, yin la fala dana piiga. Yin ya dugi n po hali yeni mi kuuma, n ba puni a li miali badfegliga.
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death.
Yua n pia tubli wan cengi Foŋanma ń maadi Kiristi jaancaga yaali. Yua n kɔni mi jama, ki paadi, kan la mi kuuliema fala.” “
12 "To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
Diani ki teni Pergami Kiristi jaancagli maleki: 'Yua n kubi ya jugsiega n mani kaani lie lanbona n ne:
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.
N bani ŋan kua naani, Sutaani badigbandi ń ye naani n yeni. Yeni lankuli, a juuni ki kubi yeli. N bani ke yii nia ke yii dugi n po, bayeni Antipasi, n kasiedo daali, yua n dugi n po hali boncianla, ke bi den kpa o i siiga nni, Sutaani ń kua naani n yeni.
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.
Ama n pia i jalgi waamu a po: I siiga, bi niba ye, ki ŋua Balaami tundma boncianla, Yua n den tundi Balaki ke o tulni Israyeli bila, ke bi dini i buli padjiema, ki go conbi.
15 So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.
Lani n go yeni, i siiga nni, nitianba ŋua Nikola yaaba bangma ke li paa.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Lanwani ii, ŋan tuubi! A yaa tuubi, N ba cua tontoni a kani, ki pua bu tɔbu yeni ba yeni n ñɔbu nni jugsiega.
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 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.
Yua n pia tubli, wan cengi Foŋanma ń maadi Kiristi jaancaga yaali. Yua n kɔni ki paadi, n ba teni o yaali n tie Maani, ki wuo, n go ba teni o tanpienli, ke yepaanli diani lipo, ya yeli ke niloba ki bani, kase yua baa li baba.” “
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:
Diani ki teni Tiyatiri Kiristi jaancagli maleki: U Tienu Bijua yua n pia a ninbina nani umupienu yeni, ke o taana tie nani ban duadi ya kudmɔndi yeni lanbona n ne:
19 "I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
“N bani ŋan tieni yaali: A buama a dudugdi a tuonli yeni a juunli mɔndli. N bani a tuona, a buama, a dudugdi, mɔndli, a tuona mɔlane cie ŋan den cindi ki tieni yaali.
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.
Ama min jalgi a yaali ya po n ne: A cabi o pua Jesabili, yua n tama ke o tie sawalpualo yeni u sanu. O tundima po, o tulni n tonda ke bi tieni mi conconma, ki go dini i buli padjiema.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
N bili o po u yogu waamu, wan baa ki tuubi, ama waa bua wan mia sugli o conconma po.
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.
Diidi! N ba lu o u yianu, wani yeni yaaba n tieni mi conconma kuli ba la falaciamo, kase bi ya tuubi bi tuonbiadi po.
23 I will kill her children with Death, and all the churches will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
N ba pua ki kpa o bila, Kiristi jaancaga kuli ba bandi ke mini n fiidi ki bani yaali n ye mi maalma yeni a pala nni kuli. N ba teni i siiga nni, yuakuli yeni wan sɔni o tuona maama i.
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.
Ama yinba yaaba n sieni Tiyatiiri nni, yua n ki ŋua lanya tunda, kaa bani ban yii yaali ya bona n wuo Sutaani ŋasiili nni - yinba wani, n yedi yi, 'N kan tugni yi tugtɔli.'
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
Lan baa maama kuli, yin ya kubi ke li paa, hali min ba cua.
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
Yua n kɔni mi jama ki paadi, ki tiendi min tieni yaali hali yeni mi juodma, n ba puni u paalu, wan diedi i nibuoli kuli.
27 He will rule them with an iron scepter, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:
O baa diedi ba yeni u badkudigbiamu, o ba pua ki mumudi ba nani ku yɔgu tiamaakaadi yeni.'
28 and I will give him the morning star.
Nani min ga N Báa kani maama, n mo ba teni o ku siŋaagu ŋmaabiga.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Yua n pia tubli, wan cengi Foŋanma ń maadi Kiristi jaancaga ya maama.”
