Revelation 2
1 [He also said to me], “Write [this message] to the leader [MET] of the congregation in Ephesus [city: ‘I] am saying these things [to you: I am] the one who firmly holds the seven stars in my right hand. [I am] the one who walks among the seven golden lampstands.
“Ephesus laga girja laga sorgodoth ke likhibi: ‘Ekjon kun laga dyna hathte sat-ta tara dhori ase aru kun etu sat-ta suna laga deevat khan uporte berai ase, Tai eneka koi ase:
2 I know what you do: You labor [for me] intensely, and you continue [to serve me] steadfastly. [I know] that you cannot tolerate people [who teach what is] evil [MTY], and that you investigated people who falsely claimed that they are apostles, and you found that they were lying.
“Moi jani ase tumikhan laga kaam aru dukh kori thaka to aru tumikhan dhorjo kori kene dukh uthai thaka to, aru manu pora biya kaam kori thaka tumikhan bhal napai. Tumikhan bhal pora jani loise kun manu taikhan to apostle khan ase koi kene tumi usorte ahe, kintu taikhan nohoi, aru taikhan misa koi ase koi kene tumi jani loi.
3 [I know] also that you continue [to serve me] steadfastly. [Even when people] ([caused you to suffer/persecuted you]), you continued to serve [me] because [you believe] in me, and you have not become too tired [to keep on serving me].
Moi jane tumikhan dhorjo kori kene sob dukh khan uthai thakise, aru tumi Moi laga naam nimite bisi dukh paise, hoile bhi tumikhan alsi huwa nai.
4 Nevertheless, I have [this complaint] against you: You no longer love [each other and me] as you did when you first [MTY] [trusted in me].
Kintu moi tumike bhirodh kori ase kelemane tumikhan laga prothom morom to pahori kene chari jaise.
5 [So, I tell you to] remember how you used to love [me and each other, and] to [realize] that you no longer love as you did. [I tell] you to turn away from your sin [of not loving me and each other], and start loving [each other and me again] as you did at first. If you do not turn away from your sinful behavior, I will come [to judge] you and cause your group to cease to be a Christian congregation [MET].
Kintu etu yaad koribi kuntu jaga pora tumi girise. Mon ghura bhi aru ki kaam prothom te kori thakise etu koribi. Kintu eneka nohoi koile, Moi ahibo aru tumikhan laga jaga pora etu deevat to hatai dibo- jodi tumi mon naghurai.
6 But you have the following good quality: Those Nicolaitans [teach you believers that you can worship idols and that you may act immorally]. However, you hate such teaching, just like I also hate it.
Kintu etu tumikhan logote ase: Tumi Nicolas laga dol khan pora kora kaam khan ghin kore, Moi bhi etu ghin kore.
7 Everyone who wants to understand my message [MTY] must listen carefully to the message that [God’s] Spirit speaks to the congregations. To everyone who overcomes [Satan], I will give the right to eat [fruit] [MTY] from the tree [that gives] eternal life, the tree that is in God’s garden.’”
Jun manu logote kan ase, Atma pora girja khan ke ki koi ase etu huni bhi. Kun manu sob to pari kene jiti loi, taike Moi jibon laga ghas pora khabole nimite dibo, juntu Isor laga Paradise te ase.”’”
8 “Write [this message] to the leader [MET] of the congregation in Smyrna [city: ‘I am] saying these things [to you. I am] the one who caused [everything to have a beginning] and [who will cause all things to] end. I am the one who died and became alive [again].
“Smyrna girja laga sorgodoth ke likhibi: ‘Etu ekjon kun prothom aru hekh ase, jun mori jaisele aru kun mora pora jinda hoi jaise, eneka koi ase:
9 I know that you suffer [because of what unbelievers do to you], and that you lack [material possessions]. But [I also know that] you are [spiritually] [MET] rich. [I know] that people (slander/say evil things about) you. They say that they are Jews, but I do not [consider that they are Jews. I consider that] they [belong to] the group that Satan [controls]!
“Moi jani ase tumikhan dukh paikene thaka to -kintu tumikhan dhuni ase- aru moi jane kun manu misa koi kene taikhan Yehudi ase koi, kintu taikhan nohoi. Kintu taikhan Saitan laga mondoli ase.
10 Do not be afraid of any of the things that you are about to suffer. The truth is that the devil is about to [put] some of you in prison, to tempt you [to deny that you believe in me]. For a short period of time you will suffer [because of what people will do to you] [MTY]. Continue to trust in me, [even if] they kill you [because you trust in me]. As a result, I will [reward you with] eternal life, [just like] [MET] [people reward a victorious athlete by putting] a wreath [on his head].
Bhoi nokoribi dukh pabole thaka nimite. Sabi! Saitan pora tumikhan kunba ke bondhi ghor te phelai dibole ase tumikhan laga mon to sabole nimite, aru tumikhan dos din tak dukh pabo. Nomora tak biswasi hoi thakibi, aru titia moi tumikhan ke jibon laga mukut dibo.
11 Everyone who wants to understand [MTY] must listen carefully to the message that [God’s] Spirit speaks to the congregations. [After] those who conquer [Satan die], they will live with God. They will never suffer again, even though many others will suffer as though they died a second time.’”
Kun manu logote kan ase, huni lobi Atma pora girja khan ke koi ase. Kun manu sob to paikene jiti loi tai aru duibar dukh paikene namoribo.’””
12 “Write [this message] to the leader [MET] of the congregation in Pergamum [city: ‘I am] saying these things [to you. I am] the one who has the sharp two-edged sword.
“Pergamum girja laga sorgodoth ke likhibi: ‘Ekjon kun logote dui phale dhar thaka talwar ase, Tai eneka koi ase.
13 I know where you live: It is where Satan controls [MTY] [people]. [I know] that you firmly believe in me [MTY]. You did not deny that you believe/trust in me, not even in the time when Antipas, (my faithful witness/who faithfully told people about me), [was alive]. He was killed {People killed him} in your city, a city where [people] habitually obey Satan.
“Moi jane tumikhan kote thaki ase, jun jagate Saitan laga singhason ase ta te. Hoile bhi tumikhan moi laga naam to loi thake aru tumikhan moi uporte biswas thaka bhi inkar kora nai. Tumikhan eneka he thakise, Moi laga gawahi aru ekjon biswasi Antipas laga homoi te bhi, jun tumikhan majot te morai dise, jun jagate Saitan thake.
14 Nevertheless, I have this [complaint] against you: You permit some of your [members] to teach things like Balaam [taught long ago. He] taught Balak to persuade the Israeli people to sin. [Specifically], he taught them to eat food that had been offered to idols, and to practice sexual immorality.
Kintu moi tumikhan laga bhirodh te ase: Tumikhan majote Balaam laga sikhai diya kotha etiya bhi kunba dhori kene ase, kun pora Balak ke Israel laga bacha khan usorte dukh digdar anibole nimite dise, taikhan ke murti puja kori kene diya laga khan khilai kene biya kaam kori bole dibo nimite.
15 In that way, you are also permitting some of [your members] to practice what the Nicolaitans teach, [which is like what Balaam taught].
Etu nimite, etu nisena he tumikhan majote bhi Nicolas laga dol khan pora sikhai diya to eneka dhori kene ase.
16 So you must stop doing [this]. If [you do] not stop doing [it], I will come to you suddenly. Using the words that I will say I will fight against those [who believe this false teaching] [MTY], and I will ([condemn them/say that they must be punished]).
Mon ghura bhi, etu nimite! Kintu jodi tumikhan eneka nakore, titia Moi tumikhan usorte joldi ahibo aru Moi laga mukh te talwar thaka loi kene tumikhan logote lorai koribo.
17 Everyone who wants to understand [MTY] must listen carefully to the message that [God’s] Spirit speaks to the congregations. To everyone who conquers [Satan], I will give [blessings that will be like] the [food called] manna [that is in a jar] that is {that someone has} hidden. I will also give them a white stone on which [I will] engrave a new name, a name that no one but the ones who receive it will know.’”
Kun manu logote kan ase, huni bhi ki Atma pora girja khan ke koi ase. Kun manu sob kori kene jiti loi, Moi lukai kene rakhi thaka manna taikhan ke dibo, aru Moi taikhan ke ekta boga pathor dibo aru ta te ekta notun naam pathor te likhi kene thakibo, etu naam kun pora bhi najanibo khali kunke etu pathor dibo tai pora he janibo.”’”
18 “Write [this message] to the leader [MET] of the congregation in Thyatira [city: ‘I], (the Son of God/the one who is also God), am saying these things [to you: I am] the one whose eyes [shine] [SIM] like a flame of fire, and whose feet [shine] [MET] like fine brass.
“Thyatira girja laga sorgodoth ke likhibi: ‘Isor laga Putro, kun laga suku jui juli thaka nisena ase, aru Tai laga theng sapha kori kene thaka pitol nisena ase, Tai eneka koi ase:
19 I know that you love [me and each other], and that you trust [in me]. I know that you serve [others] and that you steadfastly endure [a lot of difficulties/trials. I know] that you are doing these things more now than [you have done them] in the past.
“Moi tumikhan laga kaam jani ase, tumikhan laga morom, tumikhan laga biswas, tumikhan laga sewkai, aru nomro pora sob dukh loi kene thaka. Tumikhan poila kori thaka kaam to aji-kali kori thaka kaam he dangor ase.
20 Nevertheless, I have this [complaint] about you: You tolerate that woman [among your members who is like] [MET] [that wicked queen] Jezebel [who lived long ago]. She says that she (is a prophetess/proclaims messages that come directly from God), but through what she teaches she is deceiving my servants. She is urging them to commit sexual immorality and to eat food that they have offered to idols.
Kintu Moi tumikhan logote etu bhirodh kori ase: Tumikhan mon biya paile bhi Jezebel ke eku kowa nai, kun tai nijorke ekjon bhabobadi koi. Tai pora sikhai diya kotha khan Moi laga noukar khan ke bebichar kaam kori bole dibo nimite chalak kore aru murti ke puja kori kene khana kha luwa khan anikena taikhan ke khabole diye.
21 Although I gave her time to stop [her sexual immorality and pagan practices], she did not want to stop [doing them].
Moi taike mon ghura bole nimite homoi dise, kintu tai biya kaam charikena mon ghura bole nimite itcha thaka nai.
22 [As a result], I will cause her to become very ill [MTY]. I will also cause those [who act immorally as she does] [MET] to suffer greatly, if they do not stop [doing] what she does.
Sabi! Moi taike bemar laga bemar laga bisna te phelai dibo, aru kun manu tai logote mili kene biya kaam kore, taikhan ke bhi dangor dukh dibo, jodi taikhan laga paap aru biya pora mon na ghuraile.
23 Some [have become like] her children by doing [what she teaches] [MET]; I will certainly get rid of them. As a result, all the congregations will recognize that I am the one who finds out what everyone thinks and desires [MTY]. I will reward each of you according to what you have done.
Moi tai laga bacha khan ke maribo aru morai dibo, aru sob girja khan janibo Moi he ekjon ase kun sob manu laga bhabona aru mon bisare. Aru Moi tumikhan laga kaam hisab te tumikhan ke dibo.
24 But I have something good to say about the rest [of you believers] in Thyatira. [It is good] that you do not accept that [false] teaching. [It is good that you reject] what those [teachers] call their ‘secret [practices’, practices that] Satan [inspired] (OR, what those teachers [facetiously] call the secret, profound [practices that] Satan [inspires]). I will not burden you with any commands [other than that which you already have been told].
Kintu jiman manu Thyatira te ase aru jun manu khan etu kotha khan namani kene thake, aru kiman manu Saitan laga bhitor kotha aru kaam khan najane- Tumikhan ke moi koi ase, ‘Moi tumikhan uporte aru dusra bhar nadhalibo.’
25 Just keep [believing firmly in me, and obey me] until I return.
Kintu Moi naha tak bhal kori kene sob kotha khan mani kene thakibi.
26 As for those who conquer [Satan] and who (OR, [because] they) keep on doing what I command until they die, I will give them authority, just like I myself received it from my Father. [They will exercise that authority] over the nations [that rebel against God].
Kun manu hekh tak sob kaam te jiti kene, aru kun manu Moi laga kaam khotom nohua tak kore, taike Moi desh khan uporte adhikar dibo.
27 They will rule them [severely as if they were striking them] [HYP] with an iron rod. They [will destroy those who do evil things] just like [people] shatter clay pots [MET].
‘Tai loha laga lathi pora taikhan uporte raj koribo, Mati pora bonai diya kolsi nisena, tai etu sob tukra kori kene bhangai dibo.’
28 I will also enable [everyone who conquers Satan to shine gloriously like] the morning star [does] [MTY, MET].
Jineka Moi laga Baba pora Moi paise, Moi bhi taike phojur laga tara dibo.
29 Everyone who wants to understand [MTY] must listen carefully to the message that [God’s] Spirit speaks to the congregations.’”
Kun manu logote kan ase, huni bhi Pobitro Atma pora girja khan ke ki koi ase.’””
