< 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:
“Zuwa ga mala’ikan ikkilisiya a Afisa, ka rubuta, Waɗannan su ne kalmomi na wannan wanda yake riƙe da taurari bakwai a hannunsa na dama yana kuma tafiya a tsakanin alkukan fitilu bakwai na zinariya.
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;
Na san ayyukanka, faman aikinka da daurewarka. Na san cewa ba ka iya haƙuri da mugayen mutane, ka gwada waɗanda suke cewa su manzanni ne, alhali kuwa ba haka ba ne, ka kuwa tarar cewa su na ƙarya ne.
3 and thou hast endurance, and hast borne on account of my name, and hast not become weary.
Kai kam ka daure ka kuma jimre da wahala saboda sunana, ba ka kuwa gaji ba.
4 But I have this against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
Duk da haka ina riƙe da wannan game da kai. Ka watsar da ƙaunarka ta farko.
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.
Ka tuna da matsayinka a dā kafin ka fāɗi! Ka tuba ka kuma yi ayyukan da ka yi da fari. In ba ka tuba ba, zan zo wajenka in ɗauke wurin ajiye fitilanka daga inda yake.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Sai dai kana da wannan abu mai kyau. Ka ƙi ayyukan Nikolaitawa da ni ma nake ƙi.
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.
Duk mai kunnen ji, yă ji abin da Ruhu yake faɗa wa ikkilisiyoyi. Duk wanda ya ci nasara, zan ba shi ikon ci daga itacen rai, da yake cikin aljannar Allah.
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:
“Zuwa ga mala’ikan ikkilisiya a Simirna, ka rubuta, Waɗannan su ne kalmomin wannan da yake na Farko da na Ƙarshe, wanda ya mutu ya kuma sāke tashi da rai.
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.
Na san wahalarka da kuma talaucinka, duk da haka kai mai arziki ne! Na san ɓata suna da waɗannan suke yi maka waɗannan da suke cewa su Yahudawa ne alhali kuwa ba haka ba ne, su dai majami’ar Shaiɗan ne.
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.
Kada ka ji tsoron wahalar da kake gab da sha. Ina gaya maka, Iblis zai sa waɗansunku a kurkuku don yă gwada ku. Za ku sha tsanani na kwana goma. Ka yi aminci ko da za a kashe ka, ni kuwa zan ba ka rawanin rai.
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.
Duk mai kunnen ji, yă ji abin da Ruhu yake faɗa wa ikkilisiyoyi. Duk wanda ya ci nasara mutuwa ta biyu ba za tă cuce shi ba ko kaɗan.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamus write: These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword:
“Zuwa ga mala’ikan ikkilisiya a Fergamum, ka rubuta, Waɗannan su ne kalmomin wannan wanda yake da takobi mai kaifi biyu.
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.
Na san inda kake da zama, inda Shaiɗan yana da gadon sarautarsa. Duk da haka ka riƙe sunana da gaske. Ba ka yi mūsun bangaskiyarka gare ni ba, har ma a kwanakin Antifas, amintaccen mashaidina, wanda aka kashe a birninku, inda Shaiɗan yake zama.
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.
Duk da haka, ina da abubuwa kima game da kai. Kana da mutane a can waɗanda suke riƙe da koyarwar Bala’am, wanda ya koya wa Balak yă ja hankalin Isra’ilawa su yi zunubi ta wurin cin abincin da aka miƙa wa gumaka hadaya, su kuma yi fasikanci.
15 So thou also hast men holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans, in like manner.
Haka ma kana da waɗanda suke riƙe da koyarwar Nikolaitawa.
16 Repent therefore; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.
Saboda haka ka tuba! In ba haka ba, zan zo wajenka ba da daɗewa ba in yaƙe su da takobin bakina.
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.
Duk mai kunnen ji, yă ji abin da Ruhu yake faɗa wa ikkilisiyoyi. Duk wanda ya ci nasara zan ba shi kaɗan daga cikin ɓoyayyiyar Manna. Zan kuma ba shi farin dutse tare da sabon suna a rubuce a bisansa, sananne kawai ga mai karɓan dutsen.
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:
“Zuwa ga mala’ikan ikkilisiya a Tiyatira, ka rubuta, Waɗannan su ne kalmomin Ɗan Allah, wanda idanunsa suna kama da harshen wuta wanda kuma ƙafafunsa suna kama da tagullar da aka goge.
19 I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thy endurance, and that thy last works are more than the first.
Na san ayyukanka, ƙaunarka da bangaskiyarka, hidimarka da daurewarka, kuma cewa kana yin abubuwa a yanzu fiye da abin da ka yi da farko.
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.
Duk da haka, ina da wannan game da kai. Kana haƙuri da matan nan Yezebel, wadda take kira kanta annabiya. Ta wurin koyarwarta tana ɓad da bayina ga yin fasikanci suka kuma ci abincin da aka miƙa wa gumaka.
21 And I gave her time to repent, and she will not repent of her fornication.
Na ba ta lokaci tă tuba daga fasikancinta, amma ba ta da niyya.
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.
Don haka zan jefa ta a kan gadon wahala, zan kuma sa waɗanda suke zina da ita, su sha azaba ƙwarai, sai dai in sun tuba daga hanyoyinta.
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.
Zan kashe’ya’yanta. Sa’an nan dukan ikkilisiyoyi za su san cewa ni ne mai bincika zukata da tunani, zan kuwa sāka wa kowannenku gwargwadon ayyukansa.
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;
Yanzu, ina ce wa sauranku da kuke a Tiyatira, ku da ba ku riƙe da koyarwarta ba kuma ba ku koyi abin da suke kira zurfafan asiran Shaiɗan, ‘Ba zan ƙara muku wani nauyi ba.
25 but that which ye have, hold fast till I come.
Sai dai ku riƙe abin da kuke da shi har sai na zo.’
26 And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, —
Gare shi wanda ya ci nasara ya kuma aikata nufina har ƙarshe, zan ba shi iko a kan al’ummai.
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.
‘Zai yi mulki a kansu da sandar sarauta ta ƙarfe, zai farfashe su, kamar tukwanen yumɓu’kamar yadda na karɓi iko daga Ubana.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
Zan kuma ba shi tauraron asubahi.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Duk mai kunnen ji, yă ji abin da Ruhu yake faɗa wa ikkilisiyoyi.
