< Revelation 2 >
1 Unto the messenger of the assembly, 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 lamps of gold:
Ephesa khaw awhkaw thlangboel khan ceityih a venawh qee lah: Ve ak awi taw ak tang benawh aihchi khqih ak pawm ingkaw sui maivangnaak khqih anglakawh ak cet thlang ak awi na awm hy.
2 I know thy works, and thy toil, and endurance, and that thou canst not bear bad men, and thou hast tried them who were affirming themselves to be apostles, and they were not, and hast found them false;
Na ik-oeih sainaak, tha tlawh doena bi na binaak ingkaw, yh thainaak na taaknaakkhqi ce sim nyng. Thlakchekhqi am toek poek thai hyk ti, ceityih na ak sa qukhqi noek a dak tiksaw a hqawng ni amik kqawn hy tice hu hyk ti.
3 And thou hast, endurance, and hast borne for the sake of my name, and hast not grown weary.
Kai ang ming awh kyinaak yh ngah ngah tiksaw nak tha am se hy.
4 Nevertheless, I have against thee, that, thy first love, thou hast left.
Cehlai na lungnaak lamma ce na hoet a dawngawh vawh ka ni oelhnaak awm hy.
5 Remember, therefore, whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and do, thy first works; otherwise, I come unto thee, and will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou repent.
Ak sang nakawng nang tlaaknaak ce poek lah! Zut nawhtaw lamma awhkaw na saikhqi ce sai tlaih lah. Am nang zut awhtaw, na venawh law kawng nyng saw na maivang ce a awmnaak hun awhkawng thoeih law valh kawng nyng.
6 But, this, thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes, which, I also, hate.
Cehlai ve a ik-oeih sai ngaihnaak ce ta hyk ti: Nikolaitan a ik-oeih saikhqi ce sawh na hyk ti, kai ingawm sawh na lawt nyng.
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies. Unto him that overcometh—I will give, unto him, to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
Haa ak ta ingtaw, Myihla ing thlangboelkhqi venawh ak kqawn ce za seh. Noengnaak ak takhqi venawh, Khawsa a paradise ak khuiawh ak awm hqingnaak thikthaih ai thainaak ce pe kawng.
8 And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Smyrna, write: —These things, saith the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:
Smyrna khaw awhkaw thlangboel khan ceityih a venawh qee lah: Ve ak awi taw lamma ingkaw hudyt na ak awm, thi hlai hy ak hqing tlaih ak awikhqi ni.
9 I know thy tribulation, and destitution, nevertheless, thou art, rich, and the profane speech from among them who affirm that they themselves are, Jews, and they are not, but a synagogue of Satan.
Khuikha nawh hahqah hyk ti tice sim nyng – cehlai boei hyk ti! Judah thlangkhqi amyihna thlang ak kqawn seetkhqi ce Juda thlangkhqi amni, sinakawk awhkaw setankhqi ni.
10 Do not fear the things which thou art about to suffer. Lo! the adversary is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried, and may have tribulation ten days. Become thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.
Khuikhanaak hly kawi awh ce koeh kqih ka nik kqawn law peek khqi ve, setan ing nangmih ak khui awhkaw thlang vang ce noek a dak aham thawng khuina nik thlak khqi kaw, hqa nyn khuiawh khuikha naak hu kawm uk ti. Thih dyna ypawm na awm lah, hqingnaak boei lumyk ce ni pe kawng.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies. He that overcometh, shall in nowise be injured by reason of the second death.
U awm haa ak ta ingtaw, thlangboelkhqi venawh Myihla ing ak kqawn peek awi ce za seh. Noengnaak ak ta thlang taw a hih voei thihnaak ing am tlawh sak qoe voel kaw.
12 And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Pergamum, write: —These things, saith he that hath the sharp, two-edged sword:
Pergamum khaw awhkaw thlangboel khan ceityih a venawh qee lah: Ve ak awi taw hu hai na ak hqat zawzi ak takung ak awikhqi ni.
13 I know where thou dwellest, where, the throne of Satan, is; and thou art holding fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas, my witness, my faithful one, who was killed near you, where, Satan, dwelleth.
Setan ing ngawihdoelh a taaknaak – na awmnaak ce sim nyng. Cehlai kang ming awh a tak na awm poe hyk ti. Kai awh cangnaak ce am hlat taak hyk ti, kai a ypawm simpyikung na ak awm Antipas a awm awh awm, anih ce Setan a awmnaak na khawk bau khuiawh him uhy.
14 Nevertheless, I have against thee, a few things, —that thou hast there, such as hold fast the teaching of Balaam, —who went on to teach Balak to throw a cause of stumbling before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices and to commit lewdness:
Cehlai, ka ni oelhnaak ik-oeih a khoehca awm hy: Balak ce Isarelkhqi a zoek sak coengawh myiqawl bawknaak buh a an ai sak nawh thawlh sak ham ingkaw nu ingkaw pa thawlhnaak sai aham ak cawngpyi Balam a cawngpyinaak ak ngai thlangkhqi nangmih a venawh awm hy.
15 thus, even, thou, hast such as hold fast the teaching of the Nicolaitanes, in like manner.
Cemyih nani kolaitan a cawngpyinaak ak hquutkhqi awm nangmih ak khuiawh awm bai hy.
16 Repent, therefore, otherwise, I come unto thee speedily, —and will fight against them, with the sword of my mouth.
Cedawngawh zut lah! Cemyih am mantaw, na venawh law zy kawng nyng saw kam kha awhkaw zawzi ing cekkhqi ce tuk kawng.
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies. Unto him that overcometh, I will give, unto him, of the hidden manna, and I will give unto him a white stone, and, upon the stone, a new name written, which, no one, knoweth, save he that receiveth it.
U awm haa ak ta ingtaw, thlangboelkhqi venawh Myihla ing ak kqawn peek awi ce za seh. Ak noeng thlangkhqi venawh, ang hyp mana ce pe kawng. Ak hukhqi doeng ing ni a sim, ming thai qeenaak lungbawk ce pe kawng nyng.
18 And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Thyatira, write: —These things, saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like unto glowing copper:
Thyatira khaw awhkaw thlangboel khan ceityih a venawh qee lah: Vetaw a mik mai amyihna kqawng nawh a khaw qawhum hloei amyihna ak vang, Khawsa a Capak awikhqi ni.
19 I know thy works, and thy love, and faith, and ministry, and endurance, —and that, thy last works, are more than the first.
Na ik-oeih sainaak, nak cangnaak ingkaw lungnaak, na bibinaak ingkaw yhnaak, lamma awhkaw na sai anglakawh tuh khawzah khqoet sai hyk ti tice sim nyng.
20 Nevertheless, I have against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, she who calleth herself a prophetess, and is teaching and leading astray my own servants to commit lewdness and to eat idol-sacrifices;
Cehlai ve a dawngawh ka ni oelhnaak awm hy: amah ingkaw amah tawngha ak ti nu Jezebel te toek hyk ti. A cawngpyinaak ak caming ka tyihzawihkhqi nu pa thawlh sainaak ingkaw myiqawl bawknaak lucik buh a ankhqi ainaak benna sawi kang hawh hy.
21 and I gave her time, that she might repent, and she willeth not to repent out of her lewdness.
Khawboe seet a sainaak a dawngawh zutnaak aham a tym ka peek hlai am ngaih hy.
22 Lo! I cast her into a bed, and them who are committing adultery with her, into great tribulation, —except they repent out of her works;
Cedawngawh kyinaak ihkhun awh buuk kawng nyng saw, ak samphaih thlangkhqi awm anih a cehnaak lam awhkawng a mami zut awhtaw ce a nu ingqawi kyinaak huh sak kawng.
23 and, her children, will I slay with death; —and all the assemblies shall get to know, that, I, am he that searcheth reins and hearts, and will give unto you, each one, according to your works.
Kai ing ce a nu a cakhqi ce him pe kawng nyng. Cawh thlangboel boeih ing kai ce thlang a lingbyi kawlung ak suikung ni ti sim kawm uh, kai ing nami ik-oeih sainaak amyihna ni sam khqi boeih kawng.
24 But, unto you, I say, —the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, such as have not come to know the deep things of Satan, as they say, I do not cast upon you any other burden;
Thyatira khaw awh ak awm thlak chang, ce a nu a cawngpyinaak amak tukhqi ingkaw Setan a awihdung amak cawngkhqi “Kai ing phyihqih amni phyih sak khqi kawng:”
25 nevertheless, what ye have, hold fast, till I shall have come.
Na taak cemah ka law hlan dy tu khak lah.
26 And, he that overcometh, and keepeth throughout my works, I will, give unto him, authority over the nations;
Noengnaak ak taakhqi ingkaw a boet dyna ak kawngaih ak saikhqi taw, qamkhqik khanawh sai thainaak ce pe kawng –
27 and he shall shepherd them with a sceptre of iron, —as, vessels of earthenware, are dashed in pieces: —as, I also, have received from my Father.
Anih ing cekkhqi ce thi sawnghqawl ing uk khqi kawmsaw, cekkhqi ce am amyihna khawng khqi kqek kqek kaw – kai ing ka pa a venna kaw saithainaak ka huh lawt amyihna.
28 And I will give unto him the morning star.
Kai ingawm anih ce mymcang thaike ce pe kawng nyng.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies.
U awm haa ak ta ingtaw, Myihla ing thlangboelkhqi venawh ak kqawn awi ce za seh.
