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:
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Efeso wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo akwata emmunyeenye omusanvu mu ngalo ze mu mukono gwe ogwa ddyo, oyo atambulira wakati w’ebikondo by’ettaala omusanvu ebya zaabu.
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;
Nti mmanyi ebikolwa byo n’okugumiikiriza kwo, era nga tosobola kugumiikiriza bakozi ba bibi era ng’ogezesezza abo abeeyita abatume n’obavumbula nga balimba.
3 And thou hast, endurance, and hast borne for the sake of my name, and hast not grown weary.
Era ogumiikirizza okubonaabona n’oguma olw’erinnya lyange, n’otokoowa.
4 Nevertheless, I have against thee, that, thy first love, thou hast left.
Naye nnina ensonga gye nkuvunaana: tokyanjagala nga bwe wanjagalanga edda.
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.
Noolwekyo jjukira we waseeseetuka. Weenenye, onjagale nga bwe wanjagalanga edda. Naye bw’otookole bw’otyo ndijja gy’oli ne nzigyawo ekikondo ky’ettaala yo mu kifo kyakyo, okuggyako nga weenenya.
6 But, this, thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes, which, I also, hate.
Wabula ekirungi ekikuliko kye kino: okyawa ebikolwa by’Abanikolayitinga nange bwe mbikyawa.
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.
Alina amatu, awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo. Oyo awangula ndimuwa okulya ku muti ogw’obulamu oguli mu nnimiro ya Katonda.
8 And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Smyrna, write: —These things, saith the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Sumuna wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera Owoolubereberye era Owenkomerero eyali afudde oluvannyuma n’azuukira n’aba mulamu,
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.
nti mmanyi okubonaabona kwo n’obwavu bwo, naye ng’oli mugagga, era n’okulimirira kw’abo abeeyita Abayudaaya songa ssi Bayudaaya, wabula kuŋŋaaniro lya Setaani.
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.
Temutya n’akatono ebyo bye mugenda okubonaabona. Laba Setaani anaatera okusiba abamu ku mmwe mu makomera okubagezesa. Muliyigganyizibwa okumala ennaku kumi ddamba. Mubeere beesigwa okutuusa okufa, nange ndibawa engule ey’obulamu.
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.
Alina amatu, awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo. Oyo awangula talifa mulundi gwakubiri.
12 And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Pergamum, write: —These things, saith he that hath the sharp, two-edged sword:
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’e Perugamo wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo alina ekitala ekyogi eky’obwogi obubiri
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.
nti, Mmanyi gy’obeera awo awali entebe y’obwakabaka bwa Setaani, kyokka ng’onywezezza erinnya lyange era wasigala n’okukkiriza kwo, ne mu biseera Antipa omujulirwa wange omwesigwa mwe yattirwa wakati mu mmwe, eyo Setaani gy’abeera.
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:
Naye nkulinako ensonga ntono: eyo olinayo ab’enjigiriza eya Balamu eyayigiriza Balaki okutega abaana ba Isirayiri omutego n’abaliisa ennyama ey’omuzizo eyassaddaakirwa eri bakatonda abalala, era n’okwenda.
15 thus, even, thou, hast such as hold fast the teaching of the Nicolaitanes, in like manner.
Ate era olinayo n’abakkiririza mu njigiriza y’Abanikolayiti.
16 Repent, therefore, otherwise, I come unto thee speedily, —and will fight against them, with the sword of my mouth.
Noolwekyo weenenye, bw’otookikole ndijja mangu ne nnwanyisa abantu abo n’ekitala eky’omu kamwa kange.
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.
Alina amatu, awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo. Oyo awangula ndimuwa ku maanu eyakwekebwa. Era ndimuwa ejjinja eryeru eriwandiikiddwako erinnya eriggya eritamanyiddwa muntu mulala yenna wabula oyo aliweereddwa.”
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:
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Suwatira wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera Omwana wa Katonda, oyo alina amaaso agali ng’ennimi ez’omuliro, n’ebigere ebimasamasa ng’ekikomo ekizigule
19 I know thy works, and thy love, and faith, and ministry, and endurance, —and that, thy last works, are more than the first.
nti, Mmanyi ebikolwa byo, n’okwagala kwo, n’okukkiriza kwo, n’obutuukirivu bwo, n’okugumiikiriza kwo, era n’ebikolwa byo eby’oluvannyuma bisinga ebyasooka.
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;
Kyokka nkulinako ensonga eno. Ogumiikiriza omukazi Yezeberi eyeeyita nnabbi omukazi akyamya abaweereza bange ng’abayigiriza obwenzi n’okulya emmere eweereddwayo eri bakatonda abalala.
21 and I gave her time, that she might repent, and she willeth not to repent out of her lewdness.
Namuwa ekiseera yeenenye, kyokka tayagala kwenenya bwenzi bwe.
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;
Laba, ndimulwaza obulwadde obulimusuula ku ndiri, era n’abo baayenda nabo mbatuuse ku bulumi obw’amaanyi, okuggyako nga beenenyezza ebikolwa byabwe.
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.
Era nditta abaana be. Olwo Ekkanisa zonna ziryoke zitegeere nti nkebera emitima n’ebirowoozo era ndibasasula ng’ebikolwa byabwe bwe biri.
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;
Kale mmwe abalala abali mu Suwatira abatagoberera kuyigiriza kuno abatamanyi bintu bya Setaani eby’obuziba ng’enjogera bw’egamba, sigenda kubassaako mugugu mulala.
25 nevertheless, what ye have, hold fast, till I shall have come.
Wabula munyweze nnyo kye mulina okutuusa lwe ndijja.
26 And, he that overcometh, and keepeth throughout my works, I will, give unto him, authority over the nations;
Oyo aliwangula era n’oyo alisigala ng’akola emirimu gyange okutuusa ku nkomerero, ndimuwa obuyinza okufuga amawanga.
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.
‘Alibafuga n’omuggo ogw’ekyuma, n’abayasaayasa ng’ayasaayasa ebibya eby’ebbumba.’
28 And I will give unto him the morning star.
Era ndimuwa emmunyeenye ey’enkya nga nange bwe nagiweebwa Kitange.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies.
Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.
