Revelation 2
1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who walks among the seven golden lampstands:
Kuka malaika jwa likanisha lya ku Epesho nnjandishe. “Genego ni malobhe ga bhene bhaakamula ndondwa shabha munkono nnilo gwabho, na bhapita jimajima pakatipakati itengu ya kandili shabha ya shaabhu.
2 I know yoʋr works, yoʋr labor, and yoʋr endurance. I know that yoʋ cannot tolerate those who are evil, and that yoʋ have tested those who declare themselves to be apostles but are not, and have found them to be false.
Nishimanyi shinkutenda, nimumanyi kutumbilila kwenu nniengo na shinkuti kwiipililila. Nimumanyi kuti nkaakombola kumpililila mundu jwangali jwa mmbone, na kuti nshikwaalinganga bhene bhakwiishemanga kuti ashimitume, mbena nngabha, na mwaabhweninji kuti bhanami.
3 Yoʋ have persevered and endured hardships for the sake of my name, and have not grown weary.
Mmwe nnakwiipililila nipotekwa kwa ligongo lyangu nne, na mwangalepela.
4 But I have this against yoʋ: Yoʋ have left yoʋr first love.
Ikabheje gegano ni gungwete kwenu mmwe, nnaino nkaambinga malinga shimwambingaga bhukala.
5 Therefore, remember where yoʋ have fallen from; repent and do the works yoʋ did at first. If yoʋ do not repent, I will come to yoʋ quickly and remove yoʋr lampstand from its place.
Nkumbushile punnepele. Ntendebhushe ntende shimwatendaga bhukala. Monaga nkaipete, shinyie shoya kandili jenu pa shitengu shakwe.
6 Yet yoʋ do have this: Yoʋ hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Ikabheje ngunakunnumbilila ga shindu shimo, inakunshima yaakutendanga Bhanikolai, malinga shiikunjima nne.”
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give the right to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God.’
“Akwete makutu, bhai apilikane yaabheleketa Mbumu ku makanisha.” Shibhakombolanjebho shinaalekanje bhalyanganje iepo ya nkongo gwa gumi, uli mungunda gwa a Nnungu.
8 “To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘These are the words of the first and the last, who was dead and came to life:
Kuka malaika jwa likanisha lya ku Shimilina nnjandishe. “Gegano ni malobhe ga bhene bhali bha ntai na bha kumpelo, bhaawile nnaino ni bhakoto.
9 I know yoʋr works, yoʋr tribulation, and yoʋr poverty—yet yoʋ are rich! I know the slander of those who declare themselves to be Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
Nigamanyi ga shilaje shenu, nimumanyi kuti mmwe mmaalaga. Ikabheje mmwe ni tajili, nimumanyi shibhashite kuntokomayanga bhene bhakwiitembanga kuti Bhayaudi ikabheje nngabha, bhene bhanganyabho ni likundi lika Lishetani.
10 Do not be afraid of what yoʋ are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison so that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give yoʋ the crown of life.
Nnajogope shindu shoshowe shipinga kumpoteka. Mpilikane, Lishetani shanninganje kwa kuntendanga mmananji munkumbi gwenunji ntabhwanje nnigelesha, na shimmnganje mmboteko kwa mobha likumi limo. Mwiishimilikanje nngulupai na nkali mpinjikwangaga kuwa, numbe nne shinimpanganje gumi, ibhe upo kwa kombola kwenunji.”
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. He who overcomes will certainly not be harmed by the second death.’
Akwete makutujo, bhai apilikane gaabheleketa Mbumu ku makanisha. Jwene shaakombolejo, akapotekwa na shiwo sha bhili.
12 “To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ‘These are the words of him who has the sharp two-edged sword:
Kuka malaika jwa ku likanisha lya ku Peligamo nnjandishe. “Gegano ni malobhe gubhaabheleketa bhene bhakwete upanga gwa tema akuno na kukuno bhala.
13 I know yoʋr works and where yoʋ dwell, where Satan's throne is. Yet yoʋ hold fast to my name, and yoʋ did not deny my faith in the days when Antipas was my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
Nikumanyi kunkutama, mmwe kunkutama ni kushitengu sha upalume shika Lishetani. Ikabheje mwangangana, na wala mwangaleka kungulupalila, nkali mobha ga a Antipashi, bhaakong'ondela bhangu bhaakulupalika, pubhabhulegwe munkumbi gwenunji kwene kulitama Lishetani.
14 But I have a few things against yoʋ: Yoʋ have some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel and to eat food sacrificed to idols and commit fornication.
Ikabheje ipali ishoko ingwete kungwenu mmwe, bhapalinji munkumbi gwenunji bhaakagulilanga majiganyo ga a Bhalaamu, bhaajigenye a Bhalaki bhaalongoyanje Ishilaeli bhatendanje yambi kwa kwaatendanga bhalyanganje yalya ishoshiwe mbepei kuyanamu na itendi ya labhalabha.
15 In the same way, yoʋ also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Na nneyo peyo bhapalinji bhandunji munkumbi gwenunji bhaakagulilanga majiganyo ga Bhanikolai.
16 Therefore repent. Otherwise, I will come to yoʋ quickly and make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Bhai nnaino nnekanje yambi yenunji, nkalekanje shining'ishilanje shangupe kuukomana na bhene bhandunjibho na upanga gwankulungwa ukopoka nkang'wa jangu.”
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone, and on the stone will be written a new name that no one knows except the one who receives it.’
Monaga nkwetenje makutu, bhai, mpilikananje gaabheleketwa naka Mbumu ku makanisha. Jwene shaakombole jula shinimpe shalya shiishiywe shila. Shinimpe na liganga lyanawe lijandikwe lina lya ambi likamanyika na mundu jojowe ikabheje jwene apegwilwe jula.
18 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like a flame of fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze:
Kuka malaika jwa ku likanisha lya ku Tiatila, nnjandishe. “Gwenego ni ntenga ukopoka kuka Mwana jwa a Nnungu, meyo gakwe mbuti lilamba lya moto, makotwa gakwe ganamelemeta mbuti liabha lyalikubhule.
19 I know yoʋr works, yoʋr love and faith, yoʋr service and endurance, and that yoʋr latter works are greater than the ones yoʋ did at first.
Niimanyi yowe inkutenda. Nikumanyi kupinga kwenu, kukulupalika kwenu, liengo lyenu na kuipililila kwenu. Nimumanyi kuti nnaino nnatenda indu yaigwinji kupunda imwatendaga bhukala.
20 But I have this against yoʋ: Yoʋ tolerate yoʋr wife Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess while teaching and seducing my servants to commit fornication and eat food sacrificed to idols.
Ikabheje ngwete lilobhe lya kummalanjila, mmwe nnakwaaleshelela bhakongwe a Jeshebheli, bhakwiishema bhayene ankulondola. Kwa majiganyo gabho bhanakwaapuganyanga bhatumishi bhangu, nkupinga bhatendanje ya labhalabha na kulya yalya ishoshiwe mbepei ku yanamu.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her fornication.
Nne naapele malanga ga kwiipeta yambi yabho, ikabheje bhakaapinga kuleka ya labhalabha yabho.
22 Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent from her works.
Kwa nneyo shinaagwishiye pa shinanda sha mboteko bhene bhakongwebho na bhowe bhagonilenje na bhenebho na bhalabhonji shibhapotekwanje kwa kaje. Shindende yenei nnainope ibhaga bhakaipetanje na indu ya nyata ibhatendilenje na bhene bhakongwebho.
23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches minds and hearts, and I will give to each of you according to your works.
Numbe shinaabhulaganje bhene bhakwaakagulanga bhene bhakongwebho, na makanisha gowe shibhamumanyanje kuti nne ngunatonela ya mmitima na ng'aniyo ya kila mundu. Shinimpe kila mundu malinga shatendile.”
24 But to the rest of you who are in Thyatira, who do not hold to this teaching and have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan—to you I say: I place no further burden upon you.
Ikabheje mmananji nninginji ku Tiatila mwangakagulanga gene majiganyogo, na mwangaijiganyanga yene ishemwa injubhi ika Lishetani. Nguti mmanganya, ngantwikanga nshigo guna.
25 Only hold fast to what you have until I come.
Ikabheje nkamulilanje ukoto shoshowe shimpatilenje mpaka pushimujepo.
26 To him who overcomes and keeps my works to the end, I will give authority over the nations,
Shaakombole, na shaatende ingupinga nne mpaka kumpelo, shinimpe ukulungwa ku bhandunji bha ilambo ina.
27 and he will rule them with a rod of iron; like earthen vessels they will be shattered, just as I have received authority from my Father.
Shaabhalongoyanje na imbo ja shitale, na shaabhakaanyanje mbuti ikelelo ya lilongo, malinga nne shimboshele ukulungwa kopoka kwa Atati.
28 I will also give him the morning star.
Jwene shaakombolejo, shinimpe lutondwa lwa nng'andu.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’
Akwete makutujo, bhai, apilikane yaabheleketa Mbumu ku makanisha.
