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, he that walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:
“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 thy works, and thy toil and patience, and that thou canst not bear evil men, and didst try them which call themselves apostles, and they are not, and didst find them false;
“'Emenye zyobhombile adigane hwaho mbombo navumilile hwaho hasa naje howezizye, ahonvwawe nabhobhalibha bhibhi, naobhalenjele wonti wabhawikwizya bhatumwa kumbesebhabho bhabhoneshe bhilenka.
3 and thou hast patience and didst bear for my name’s sake, and hast not grown weary.
Emenye aje ulige ngolo navumilile, na oshiliye minji husababu witawa lyane, solitili osele.
4 But I have [this] against thee, that thou didst leave thy first love.
Lelo ili lyalyelyo lyendinalyo mhati mwaho, oleshile oluganano waho owahwande.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou repent.
Eshi izuha poha gwiye, otowe na bhombe embombo gohabhombaga afume hale. Nkashele sotowa embahwenzu huliwe nahwefwe eshinara shao afume apene.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Lelo olinelo ogavitwa gala galagabhagambile Awanikolai gabhabhombile hatanene engavitwa.
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I 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 And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and lived [again]:
“Wantumwa wikanisa lya Smirna na simba: 'Ega mazugola yali wahwande na malishile yafwiye nabhe mwomi nantele:
9 I know thy tribulation, and thy poverty (but thou art rich), and the blasphemy of them which 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 Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee 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 that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Nkashile olinikutu, tejeleza Ompepo sagabhozya amakanisa. Olayagamena sabhapate amadhara eyefwa yabhele.'
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write; These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword:
“Hwa ntumi ebhe kanisa lya Pergamo simba: 'Ega gayanga oyo yalinipanga ikyali, wawiwoji wonti wonti hubhele.
13 I know where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan’s throne is: and thou holdest fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwelleth.
'“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 thee, because thou hast there some that hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.
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 hast thou also some that hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans in like manner.
Huhali yeyo hatawewe olinabho bhashe bhabha khata enfundizyo ya Wanikolai.
16 Repent therefore; or else I come to thee 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 that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it.
Nkashele ohonvwa onvwa Ompepo zabhabhozya amakanisa. Ola yabhamene, embalumpele, badhi ya ela imana yehafisilwe, itawa lyashele nomo yalimenye esipokuo yoyo yaliposhela.'
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 unto burnished brass:
“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 thy works, and thy love and faith and ministry and patience, and that thy 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 thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess; and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit fornication, 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 And I gave her time that she should repent; and she willeth not to repent of her fornication.
Ehapie ensiku ezya hweteshe, lelo sagali tayali aweteshe embibhi zyakwe.
22 Behold, I do cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of her works.
Enya embahutaje pashita eshembina, na bhala bhabhabhomba omalaya bhape humayemba amakhali, olwenje bheteshe habhombile.
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto each one of you according to your works.
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 that are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, which know not the deep things of Satan, as they say; I cast upon you none other burden.
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 Howbeit that which ye have, hold fast till I come.
Wijambo lyonti, lazima mbhengangali pakaehayenza.
26 And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority over the nations:
Yayanti yagamena nabhombe hala shila shenshibhombile paka amalishile wamwene embahupele adalaka pamwanya epensi.
27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to shivers; 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 that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Nkoli nikutu, tejezya lila lyashele Ompepo agabhola amakanisa.'
