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:
“Kwa malaika wa likanisa lya Efeso uandike,'Haga nga maneno ga yulo ywakamulya yilo ndondwa saba katika luboko lwake lwa mmalyo. Ywembe ywatyanga kati ya inara ya dhahabu ya taa saba abaya nyaa,
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;
“Ndangite chaupangite na bidii yako ya lyengo na komea kwako muno, na kwamba huwecha kwaa husiana nabo bababile alau, na ulikuapaya boti babaikema panga mitume na nyoo kwaa, nababonekana abocho.
3 and thou hast endurance, and hast borne on account of my name, and hast not become weary.
Ndangite uwecha lindaa, na komeya, na upilile maingi kwasababu ya lina lyangu, na unachoka kwaa bado.
4 But I have this against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
Lakini lenga lanibilenalo kwa ajili yako, ulekite upendo wako wa patumbu.
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.
Kwahiyo ukumbukii pautumbwize, ukatubu na panga matendo ga upangite tangu patumbuu mana utubu kwaa naicha kwako na kukibaya kinara chako buka mahali pake.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Lakini wenga una lino, ukachilikia galo ambago wanikulau ghaba ga panga, ambago hata nenga nenda kachilika.
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.
Mana uina lichikilo upikani galo ambago Roho agabakia makanisa. Na kwa ywembe ywashinda nampeya kibali cha lya buka katika mkongo wa ukoto wa ubile katiakparadiso ya Nnungu.'
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:
Kwa malaika wa kanisa la Smirna uandike: 'Haga nga maneno ga yolu ambaye nga ywa tubwa na mwisho ambaye atiwaa na panga nkoto kaii.
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.
Nigatangite mateso gako na umasikini wako (lakini wenga wa tajiri) na ubocho wa balo babaikema Mayahudi (lakini bembe kwaa lisinagogi la nchela).
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.
Kana uyogope mateso gaga kupata linga! ibilisi apata kutahikwa kati yinu muligereza linga apate kupaya na mpateseka kwa machuba komi. Mube mwaminifu mpaka waa na napeye kofia ya ukoto.
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.
Mana ubile na lichikilo upikanii Roho agabakiya maknisa ywembe ywa shinda hapata kwaa matatizo awaa kwaa mara ya ibele.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamus write: These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword:
“Kwa malaika wa kanisa la Pergamo andika: haga ngalongela ywembe na alyo lipanga lika kwaa, wena maka kwaa kuno na kuno.
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.
“Nipatangite pa tama mahali pa kibile kitigo cha enzi cha nchela. Hata nyoo wenga wanda kulikamwa sana lina lyangu na huikani kwaa imani yako ya ibile kwangu, hata machuba galo ga Atipasi shahid ywangu mwaminifu ywangu, ywawile nkati yinu, hapo nga nchela pa tama.
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.
Lakini ni ikowe njini husu wenga: ubile nabo kwo bandu babakamwa mafundisho ga Balagumu, ywembe ywamfundishike Balaki bika ikwazo nnungi ya bana ba Israel, linga balye yukulya yabapiyite sadaka kwa nnungu wabe na tenda umalaya.
15 So thou also hast men holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans, in like manner.
Katika hali yino, hata wenga ubile nabo baadhi yabe babakamwa mapundisho ga Banikolai.
16 Repent therefore; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.
Basi utubu! na mana upangite kwaa nyoo nenda icha upesi na napanga vita nawe na lipanga lolipita katika mukano wango.
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.
Mana ui a machikilo upikani Roho chaabakia makanisa. Yulo ywashinda aampeya baadhi ya yilo mana yaihiyilwe, na nampea liwe lyu laliandikwe lina lya ayambi manani ya liwe, lina ambalo ntupu ywalitangite ila ywembe ywalipokya.”
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:
“Kwa malaika wa kanisa lya Thiatira uandike: haga nga maneno ga mwana wa Nnungu, ywembe ywa bile na minyo gake kati mwali wa mwoto, na njayo kati shaba yabaikulike sana.
19 I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thy endurance, and that thy last works are more than the first.
Ndangite ambacho chakipangite upendo wako na imani na uduma na komea kwako imala, na kwamba chilo chaupangite karibuni zaidi ya chilo chaupangite polongoi.
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.
Lakini nina lee husu wenga: mwenda kunkomeya nnwawa Yezebeli waikema mwene nabii nnwawa, kwa mapundisho gake, aposha utumishi bandu panga umalaya na lya chakulya chakipiyilwe sadaka kwa kinyago.
21 And I gave her time to repent, and she will not repent of her fornication.
Nampeile muda wa tubu lakini abile kwaa tayari tubu kwa ulau wake.
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.
Linga natikutaikwa pa kindanda cha matamwe, na balo babapanga wesherati na ywembe katika mateso makali, kwalei batubu kwa cha bapangite.
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.
Naakumbwa banabake bawee na makanisa goti batanga kwamba nenga nga niyachunguza mawacho na tamaa. Nampeya kila yumo kadili ya matendo gake.
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;
Lakini kwa baadhi yinu mwamuigabile katika Thiatira kwa balo boti mwangali kamwa mafundisho kwaa, na mwangali tanga cholo ambachon baadhi uikemaa mfumbo ga nchela mbaya kwinu mbikali panani yinu nchigo wowoti.
25 but that which ye have, hold fast till I come.
Kwa jambo lyolyoti lazima mube imara mpaka paniicha.
26 And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, —
Yeyote ywa shinda na panga chalo chanikipangite hadi mwisho ywembe nampeya mamlaka katika ilambo.
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.
Abakuatawala kwa bakola ya chuma, kati bakuli ya ukando, atekwana ipande ipande.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
Kati mwaipokile buka kwa Tati bangu nampeya kaye ndondwa ya kindai.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Mana ubile na lichikilo upikani chalo ambacho Roho aya bakiya makanisa.
