< 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:
“Hwa ntumi bhe kanisa elya Efeso simba: 'Ege mazu egola ya khatilie zila entondwe saba hikhono gwakwe olelo. Omwene yajenda mwinara vyedhahabu evye tala saba ayanga eshi, “
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.
“'Emenye zyobhombile adigane hwaho mbombo navumilile hwaho hasa naje howezizye, ahonvwawe nabhobhalibha bhibhi, naobhalenjele wonti wabhawikwizya bhatumwa kumbesebhabho bhabhoneshe bhilenka.
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary.
Emenye aje ulige ngolo navumilile, na oshiliye minji husababu witawa lyane, solitili osele.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
Lelo ili lyalyelyo lyendinalyo mhati mwaho, oleshile oluganano waho owahwande.
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.
Eshi izuha poha gwiye, otowe na bhombe embombo gohabhombaga afume hale. Nkashele sotowa embahwenzu huliwe nahwefwe eshinara shao afume apene.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Lelo olinelo ogavitwa gala galagabhagambile Awanikolai gabhabhombile hatanene engavitwa.
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.
Nkashile olinikutu, tejezya gala ege Mpepo gegabhozya amakanisa nolayagamena. Embahupele eshibali eshalye afume mwikwi elyehwomi wauli humwanja wa Ngolobhe.'
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:
“Wantumwa wikanisa lya Smirna na simba: 'Ega mazugola yali wahwande na malishile yafwiye nabhe mwomi nantele:
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.
'“Engamenye amayemba gao nope na waho (lelo awe oli tajili), ni lenka hwabhala bhabhawikwizya bhayahudi (lelo siyo - sebhebho sinagogi lya 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.
Osahogope namayemba gagahumwaje. Enya! Oshetani alwabhataje badhi yenyu hwijela aje mlegwe napate amayemba hunsiku kumi. Mbhanje bhaminifu paka afwe, na nitawapa taji ya uzima.
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.
Nkashile olinikutu, tejeleza Ompepo sagabhozya amakanisa. Olayagamena sabhapate amadhara eyefwa yabhele.'
12 "To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
“Hwa ntumi ebhe kanisa lya Pergamo simba: 'Ega gayanga oyo yalinipanga ikyali, wawiwoji wonti wonti hubhele.
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.
'“Emenye pokhala -papali itengo elye shemwene haesho. Awe walita sana itawalyane, nasagaoikulila zya Antipasi oketiwane, omwaminifu wane, yafwiye mwamlanamwe epo papepo Setani pakhala.
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.
Lelo endi nenongwa nyishe nawe: olina bhantu bhabhakhata efundizyo ya Baalamu, omwene yafundizizye o Balaki abheshe oluvisyo witagalila lya bhana bha Israeli, aje bhalye vyavifumiziwe sadaka humangolobhe na hwilongo.
15 So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.
Huhali yeyo hatawewe olinabho bhashe bhabha khata enfundizyo ya Wanikolai.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Basi towa! Nkashele sobhomba esho, iwenza nanali, naneembabhombe ibho hwabhene hwipanga afume hwilomu lyane.
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.
Nkashele ohonvwa onvwa Ompepo zabhabhozya amakanisa. Ola yabhamene, embalumpele, badhi ya ela imana yehafisilwe, itawa lyashele nomo yalimenye esipokuo yoyo yaliposhela.'
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:
“Hwa utumi wikanisa elya Thiatira simba: “Ega ga mazu aga Mwana wa Ngolobhe, omwene yalinamaso gakwe nashi omele gwe mwoto, ne nyayo nashi eshaba yesuhuliwe sana:
19 "I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
““Emenye lyobhombile - olugano lwale no lweteho nehuduma no vumilivu waho tee, aje hala hahabhombile eshisheshi zawadi yahala hohabhombile pahwande.
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.
Lelo endinalyo elihuliwe: ohuvumilila oshe oYezebeli yahwikwizya yoyookuwashee. Hunfundizyo zyakwe, abhatezya asontezo bhane azini na alye eshalye shashele shifumizie sadaka hu sanamu.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
Ehapie ensiku ezya hweteshe, lelo sagali tayali aweteshe embibhi zyakwe.
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.
Enya embahutaje pashita eshembina, na bhala bhabhabhomba omalaya bhape humayemba amakhali, olwenje bheteshe habhombile.
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.
Embabha khome abhana bhabho bhafwe namakanisa gonti bhamanye aje anene hwenya amawazo netama. Embahupele kila omo wenyu shila zyabhomba hwakwe.
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.
Lelo bhamohulimwe mwamsageye hu Thiatira, mwenti mwashele semkhata nfundizyo eli, na mwashele semmenye hala hahali malibho ga Setani, eyanga hulimwe, 'sembabheshe pamwanya palimwe izigo lyolyonti.'
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
Wijambo lyonti, lazima mbhengangali pakaehayenza.
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
Yayanti yagamena nabhombe hala shila shenshibhombile paka amalishile wamwene embahupele adalaka pamwanya epensi.
27 He will rule them with an iron scepter, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:
'Ayibhatowala hundesa eyeijela, nashi embakuli ezyilongo, abhabhabudulanye vipisi vipisi.'
28 and I will give him the morning star.
Nashi sehaposheye afume hwa Baba wane, embahupele nantele entondwe eyasapwiti.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Nkoli nikutu, tejezya lila lyashele Ompepo agabhola amakanisa.'
