< Revelation 2 >
1 To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:
“Udu kiti ngono kadura Kutelle kilari nlira in Afisawa nyertine: 'Uliru nlenge na a min iyini kuzore ncara ulime me. Ule na adin cinu nan nya tica nla nizinariya kuzore nworo nenge,
2 I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy endurance, and that thou canst not bear evil men; and thou didst try those who say they are apostles, and are not, and didst find them liars;
“Meng yiru imon ile na una suu nin katwaa nijasi fe ayi asheu nin teru kibinai fe, ana fe wa sa uso ligowe nin na nan katwaa kananzang ba, uminin na dumun alenge na idin su inung nono kadura, a na nanere yi ta ba, inanin se nani nin kinuu.
3 and thou hast endurance, and hast borne on account of my name, and hast not become weary.
Meng yiru nsheu nteru kibinai fe, umini na neo kang bara lisa ning, a na una lanza kudirya ba.
4 But I have this against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
Vat nani ndi nin nimon nivira nin fi, bara na una sun usuu nburnu fe.
5 Remember therefore whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come to thee, and will remove thy candlestick out of its place, unless thou repent.
Lizino kiti kanga na una diu ku. Suna kulapi fe usu imon ile na una suzu nin burne. A se na ucino likara li nanza fe ba, in wang dak mba da kalu kuca nle kitene.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Bara na udi nin lele, udin shina nile imon na an Nikolitiya na su, ile wang na meng nari.
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God.
Andi udi nin kutuf, lanza imon ile na Uruhu din bellu nilari nliru Kutelle. Ule na a leo likume mba yinunghe ali kucan lai, ko na kudi kipin tigo Kutelle'.
8 And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and lived again:
“Udu kitin gono kadura Kutelle kilarin nlira in Sumaniya nyertine: Ulelere uliru nlenge na awa di nburnue nin ni maline, ulenge na awa ku amini na ti ulai tutung:
9 I know thy affliction and poverty, (but thou art rich, ) and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
“Meng yiru uniu nin likimon fe. (amma udin nin se), nin wulsu na lenge na idininsu innung a Yahudawari (a na naniere ba, ina dii kilarin nlirun Shaitanghari).
10 Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer. Behold, now, the Devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye will have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.
Na iw a lanza fiu nile imon na iba niu mung ba. Yenen! Kugwergenue din cinu u tuu among mine nan nya kilari licin inan dumun minu, iba niu nan nya nayiri li kure. Yitan ni nayi a kone uduru ukul, meng ma ni minu Litappa nlai.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt by the second death.
Andi udi nin kutuf, lanza imon ile na Uruhu din belu ninlari nliru Kutell. e Ulenge na aleo likumme na ukul nmba ba seghe ba.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamus write: These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword:
“Cindu udura nikilisiyan Perigamum nyerte: 'Tuo nye re ttigulan nlengee na adi nin kisangali nlikang nasariaba:
13 I know where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan is; and thou holdest fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days in which Antipas was my witness, my faithful one, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
“'Myen yiru kika na usosin ku-kika na lichur nshaitan nnghari. Vat nani umiin lisa nighye parrt, na usuu nntala nni kibinai fye nmi ba, wan nin nya nayirin Antipas iyizin yenu ning, unan liyisin nanya ninghe, nai wa mdu nan ninghe, kikanye na shaitan sosinku.
14 But I have a few things against thee; thou hast there them that hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling-block in the way of the sons of Israel, and to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.
Nya nani ndi ning nimon baat ugan ninf: Udi ning namon na imiin gangan madudurzun Balaam, na awa duro Balak ku a filo kutalan tiru nbun nnonon Isruila, unang sye ilyeu imon nli njuju uhem nna kwu tichil inin su nzemzem nmulsu.
15 So thou also hast men holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans, in like manner.
Libau lirumere, i di ning na le wan na imiin gangan madudursuzu na Nikolainiyawa.
16 Repent therefore; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.
Kwilzinan, nanere! An nanari ba, mba dak nfi dyedei, mba dak nin su likum kitenye minye ning kisangali na ki nuzu nanya nnuu ning.
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, I will give of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it.
Asa udi nin kutuf, lanza imeile na unangwaru din belu ikilisiyai. Cindu nlengyye na a lyeu, mba nyinghe ummong u manna nau nyeshin, nning ninghye litala libau ning lisa lipesye na i nyertinye kutalye, lisa lo na umon yiru ba nngiwaa unan serye rye yiru.
18 And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass:
“Cindu udura ilisiyan Thyatira nyertine: 'Alenge nye rye agwulan Nsaun Kutelleh, ulenge na iyizi mye di fuo lilyem nnla nin nabunu nafuo ikoroishine na, na weltin:
19 I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thy endurance, and that thy last works are more than the first.
“'Nyire imoilee na umai ti. Usuu fye nin ntikibinai nin katwa nin terun nkotunu, wan nin nimoile na una worin nsu ikata in cizinue.
20 But I have this against thee, that thou sufferest thy wife Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess, and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
Nin nyanani ndi nin nimon nnari kitene fye: U yinna nin wani unye Jezebel, na adinsu amye uwa nanan nyenju nimon nchinu. Nnya madursudurzu mye, adin rusuzu a cin nnin isuu nzemnzen nmulsu nin nnli nimonnli nainakwa tichil.
21 And I gave her time to repent, and she will not repent of her fornication.
Nna nnighye kubi a kwilin, na a yinna a kwilin ba a suun nzemzem nye ba.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and those who together with her commit adultery into great distress, unless they repent of her deeds.
Yenje! Menba filu nnghe unonku ro nkonu, nin na lenge na ichindin nmolsu nanghe cin piru nijasi idya, ankuru na i kwilla nnuzu nimon nsu mye ba.
23 And her children I will slay with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and hearts; and I will give to every one of you according to your works.
Mbaa dazunu nonomye ikuzu, vat niklisiyai ba nin yinnu ning woru myeri din piziru nibinai nin na nyanti nimon. Mba nnyi vat nlenge na asuu imon ile na unit risuu.
24 But to you I say, the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, such as have not known “the depths” of Satan, as they speak; I put upon you no other burden;
Nanyere kagisin minye nnyan Thyatira, cindu vat na lye na isali sa u minnu madursuzu ma nye, inin tani imoile na idinsu muun imon ichancham nshaitan-udu nnghinu ndinsu, 'Na myen ba kwin minu nmong nugetyek ku ba.'
25 but that which ye have, hold fast till I come.
Sa isu nnyiziari, uba minuarye part uchicha cin dak nin.
26 And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, —
Ulenge na alyeu nin iye na suu imoilye na myen nsuu cindu liganghe, cindu nghe mba nyi likalin kityenye timinn.
27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of a potter are broken to shivers, —as I also have received of my Father.
'Amye ba sun tigo kityeneminye nin ncha fikoro, fuo a dul tiwing a baa puchua ni chinchwun.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
Na fuo na nsere kitin Ncif nin, mme wang ba nnighe fibir.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Asa u di nin kutuf, lanza imoile na unangwaru din bellu Iklisiyai.'
