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.
“ଏଫିସ ମଣ୍ଡଳୀର ଦୂତ ନିକଟକୁ ଲେଖ: ଯେ ଆପଣା ଦକ୍ଷିଣ ହସ୍ତରେ ସପ୍ତ ନକ୍ଷତ୍ର ଧାରଣ କରନ୍ତି ଓ ସପ୍ତ ସୁବର୍ଣ୍ଣ ପ୍ରଦୀପ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଗମନାଗମନ କରନ୍ତି, ସେ ଏହା କହନ୍ତି,
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.
ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର କର୍ମ, ପରିଶ୍ରମ ଓ ଧୈର୍ଯ୍ୟ ଜାଣୁ; ପୁଣି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେ ଦୁଷ୍ଟମାନଙ୍କର କ୍ରିୟା ସହି ନ ପାର, ଆଉ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଆପଣା ଆପଣାକୁ ପ୍ରେରିତ ବୋଲି କହନ୍ତି, କିନ୍ତୁ ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ପ୍ରେରିତ ନୁହଁନ୍ତି, ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ପରୀକ୍ଷା କରି ମିଥ୍ୟାବାଦୀ ବୋଲି ଚିହ୍ନିଅଛ,
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].
ପୁଣି, ଧୈର୍ଯ୍ୟ ଧରି ଆମ୍ଭ ନାମ ସକାଶେ କଷ୍ଟ ସହିଅଛ ଓ କ୍ଳାନ୍ତ ହୋଇ ନାହଁ, ଏହା ମଧ୍ୟ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣୁ।
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].
ତଥାପି ତୁମ୍ଭ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ଆମ୍ଭର ଏହି କଥା ଅଛି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣା ଆଦ୍ୟ ପ୍ରେମ ପରିତ୍ୟାଗ କରିଅଛ।
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].
ଏଣୁ କେଉଁଠାରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପତନ ହୋଇଅଛି, ତାହା ସ୍ମରଣ କରି ମନ-ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ କର ଓ ଆଦ୍ୟ କର୍ମସବୁ କର; ନୋହିଲେ ଯେବେ ମନ-ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ ନ କର, ତେବେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଶୀଘ୍ର ତୁମ୍ଭ ନିକଟକୁ ଆସି ତୁମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରଦୀପ ସ୍ୱସ୍ଥାନରୁ ଘୁଞ୍ଚାଇଦେବୁ।
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.
ହେଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ଏହି ସଦ୍ଗୁଣ ଅଛି ଯେ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ନୀକଲାତୀୟମାନଙ୍କର ଯେଉଁ ସବୁ କର୍ମ ଘୃଣା କରୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମଧ୍ୟ ସେହିସବୁ ଘୃଣା କରୁଅଛ।
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.’”
ମଣ୍ଡଳୀଗଣଙ୍କୁ ଆତ୍ମା କଅଣ କହନ୍ତି, ଯାହାର କର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଅଛି, ସେ ତାହା ଶୁଣୁ। ଯେ ଜୟ କରେ, ତାହାକୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପାରଦୀଶରେ ଥିବା ଜୀବନ ବୃକ୍ଷର ଫଳ ଖାଇବାକୁ ଦେବୁ।”
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].
“ସ୍ମୁର୍ଣ୍ଣା ମଣ୍ଡଳୀର ଦୂତ ନିକଟକୁ ଲେଖ: ଯେ ପ୍ରଥମ ଓ ଶେଷ, ଯେ ମୃତ ହୋଇ ପୁନର୍ଜୀବିତ ହେଲେ,
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]!
ସେ ଏହା କହନ୍ତି, ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର କ୍ଲେଶ ଓ ଦୀନତା ଜାଣୁ, (କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଧନବାନ), ଆଉ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଆପଣାମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯିହୁଦୀ ବୋଲି କହନ୍ତି, ମାତ୍ର ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ଯିହୁଦୀ ନୁହଁନ୍ତି, ବରଂ ଶୟତାନର ଦଳ, ସେମାନଙ୍କର ନିନ୍ଦା ମଧ୍ୟ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣୁ।
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].
ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେଉଁ ସବୁ ଦୁଃଖଭୋଗ କରିବାକୁ ଯାଉଅଛ, ସେହିସବୁକୁ ଭୟ କର ନାହିଁ; ଦେଖ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପରୀକ୍ଷା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଶୟତାନ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ କାହାରି କାହାରିକୁ କାରାଗାରରେ ନିକ୍ଷେପ କରିବ, ଆଉ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଦଶ ଦିନ କ୍ଲେଶ ଭୋଗ କରିବ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମରଣ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ବିଶ୍ୱସ୍ତ ଥାଅ, ସେଥିରେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଜୀବନରୂପ ମୁକୁଟ ଦେବୁ।
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.’”
ମଣ୍ଡଳୀଗଣଙ୍କୁ ଆତ୍ମା କଅଣ କହନ୍ତି, ଯାହାର କର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଅଛି, ସେ ତାହା ଶୁଣୁ। ଯେ ଜୟ କରେ, ସେ ଦ୍ୱିତୀୟ ମୃତ୍ୟୁ ଦ୍ୱାରା କୌଣସି ପ୍ରକାରେ କ୍ଷତିଗ୍ରସ୍ତ ହେବ ନାହିଁ।”
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.
“ପର୍ଗମ ମଣ୍ଡଳୀର ଦୂତ ନିକଟକୁ ଲେଖ: ଯାହାଙ୍କର ତୀକ୍ଷ୍ଣ ଦ୍ୱିଧାର ଖଡ୍ଗ ଅଛି, ସେ ଏହା କହନ୍ତି,
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.
ଯେଉଁଠାରେ ଶୟତାନର ସିଂହାସନ, ସେଠାରେ ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବାସ କରୁଅଛ, ଏହା ଆମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣୁ; ତଥାପି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭର ନାମ ଦୃଢ଼ରୂପେ ଧରିଅଛ, ଆଉ ଆମ୍ଭର ବିଶ୍ୱସ୍ତ ସାକ୍ଷୀ ଆନ୍ତିପା ଯେତେବେଳେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଶୟତାନର ସେହି ବସତି ସ୍ଥଳରେ ହତ ହୋଇଥିଲା, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭଠାରେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରୁଅଛ ବୋଲି ସେତେବେଳେ ସୁଦ୍ଧା ଅସ୍ୱୀକାର କରି ନ ଥିଲ।
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.
କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ଆମ୍ଭର କଥା ଅଛି, ଯେଉଁ ବିଲୀୟାମ ଦେବପ୍ରସାଦ ଭୋଜନ ଓ ବେଶ୍ୟାଗମନରୂପ ଫାନ୍ଦ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲ ସନ୍ତାନମାନଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖରେ ପକାଇବାକୁ ବାଲାକକୁ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦେଇଥିଲା, ତାହାର ମତାବଲମ୍ବୀ କେତେକ ଜଣ ତୁମ୍ଭ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ସେଠାରେ ଅଛନ୍ତି।
15 In that way, you are also permitting some of [your members] to practice what the Nicolaitans teach, [which is like what Balaam taught].
ସେହିପରି ମଧ୍ୟ ନୀକଲାତୀୟ ମତାବଲମ୍ବୀ କେତେକ ତୁମ୍ଭ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଅଛନ୍ତି।
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]).
ଏଣୁ ମନ-ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ କର; ନୋହିଲେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଶୀଘ୍ର ତୁମ୍ଭ ନିକଟକୁ ଆସି ସ୍ୱମୁଖନିଃସୃତ ଖଡ୍ଗ ଦ୍ୱାରା ସେମାନଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗେ ଯୁଦ୍ଧ କରିବୁ।
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.’”
ମଣ୍ଡଳୀଗଣଙ୍କୁ ଆତ୍ମା କଅଣ କହନ୍ତି, ଯାହାର କର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଅଛି, ସେ ତାହା ଶୁଣୁ। ଯେ ଜୟ କରେ, ତାହାକୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଗୁପ୍ତ ସ୍ବର୍ଗୀୟ ଭୋଜନ ଦେବୁ, ପୁଣି, ଯେଉଁ ନାମ ଗ୍ରହଣକର୍ତ୍ତା ବିନା ଅନ୍ୟ କେହି ଜାଣେ ନାହିଁ, ଏପରି ନୂତନ ନାମ ଲିଖିତ ଏକ ଶ୍ୱେତ ପ୍ରସ୍ତର ତାହାକୁ ଦେବୁ।”
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.
“ଥୁୟାଥିରା ମଣ୍ଡଳୀର ଦୂତ ନିକଟକୁ ଲେଖ: ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କ ଚକ୍ଷୁ ପ୍ରଜ୍ୱଳିତ ଅଗ୍ନିଶିଖା ସଦୃଶ ଓ ପାଦ ଉଜ୍ଜ୍ୱଳ ପିତ୍ତଳ ତୁଲ୍ୟ, ଏବଂ ସେ ଏହା କହନ୍ତି,
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.
ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର କର୍ମ, ପ୍ରେମ, ବିଶ୍ୱାସ, ସେବା ଓ ଧୈର୍ଯ୍ୟ ଜାଣୁ, ପୁଣି, ତୁମ୍ଭର ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ କର୍ମ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପୂର୍ବ କର୍ମଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଅପେକ୍ଷା ଯେ ଅଧିକ, ଏହା ମଧ୍ୟ ଜାଣୁ।
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.
ତଥାପି ତୁମ୍ଭ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ଆମ୍ଭର ଏହି କଥା ଅଛି, ଯିଜେବଲ ନାମ୍ନୀ ଯେଉଁ ନାରୀ ଆପଣାକୁ ଭାବବାଦିନୀ ବୋଲି କହି ମୋହର ଦାସମାନଙ୍କୁ ବେଶ୍ୟାଗମନ ଓ ଦେବପ୍ରସାଦ ଭୋଜନ କରିବାକୁ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦେଇ ଭୁଲାଉଅଛି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାହାର ଦୁଷ୍କର୍ମ ସହ୍ୟ କରୁଅଛ।
21 Although I gave her time to stop [her sexual immorality and pagan practices], she did not want to stop [doing them].
ଆମ୍ଭେ ତାହାକୁ ମନ-ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ କରିବାକୁ ସମୟ ଦେଲେ ହେଁ ସେ ଆପଣା ବେଶ୍ୟାବୃତ୍ତିରୁ ମନ-ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ କରିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛୁକ ହେଉ ନାହିଁ।
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.
ଦେଖ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ତାହାକୁ ଶଯ୍ୟାଶାୟୀ କରିବୁ, ଆଉ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତାହା ସହିତ ବ୍ୟଭିଚାର କରନ୍ତି, ସେମାନେ ତାହାର କର୍ମର ସହଭାଗିତାରୁ ମନ-ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ ନ କଲେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ମହାକ୍ଲେଶରେ ପକାଇବା,
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.
ପୁଣି, ଆମ୍ଭେ ତାହାର ଅନୁଗମନକାରୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ମୃତ୍ୟୁ ଦ୍ୱାରା ବିନାଶ କରିବୁ। ସେଥିରେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଯେ ମର୍ମ ଓ ହୃଦୟର ପରୀକ୍ଷକ, ପୁଣି, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ଜଣକୁ ଆପଣା ଆପଣା କର୍ମାନୁସାରେ ଫଳଦାତା, ଏହା ମଣ୍ଡଳୀଗଣ ଜାଣିବେ।
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].
କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ, ଅର୍ଥାତ୍ ଥୁୟାଥିରାରେ ଥିବା ଯେଉଁ ଅବଶିଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକେ ଏହି ମତାବଲମ୍ବୀ ନୁହଁ ଓ ଯାହାକୁ ଶୟତାନର ନିଗୂଢ଼ ଶିକ୍ଷା ବୋଲି କହନ୍ତି, ତାହା ଜ୍ଞାତ ନୁହଁ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ କହୁଅଛୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଆଉ କୌଣସି ଭାର ଦେବୁ ନାହିଁ।
25 Just keep [believing firmly in me, and obey me] until I return.
କେବଳ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କଠାରେ ଯାହା ଅଛି, ତାହା ଆମ୍ଭର ଆଗମନ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଦୃଢ଼ରୂପେ ଧରି ରଖ।
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].
ଯେ ଜୟ କରେ ଓ ଶେଷ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଆମ୍ଭର କର୍ମ କରେ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଯେପରି ଆମ୍ଭର ପିତାଙ୍କଠାରୁ କ୍ଷମତା ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହୋଇଅଛୁ, ତାହାକୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ସେହିପରି ସମସ୍ତ ଜାତି ଉପରେ କ୍ଷମତା ଦେବୁ;
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].
ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଲୌହ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଶାସନ କରିବେ, ଆଉ ସେମାନେ କୁମ୍ଭକାରର ପାତ୍ର ପରି ଖଣ୍ଡ ଖଣ୍ଡ ହେବେ,
28 I will also enable [everyone who conquers Satan to shine gloriously like] the morning star [does] [MTY, MET].
ପୁଣି, ଆମ୍ଭେ ତାହାକୁ ପ୍ରଭାତୀତାରା ଦେବୁ।
29 Everyone who wants to understand [MTY] must listen carefully to the message that [God’s] Spirit speaks to the congregations.’”
ମଣ୍ଡଳୀଗଣଙ୍କୁ ଆତ୍ମା କଅଣ କହନ୍ତି, ଯାହାର କର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଅଛି, ସେ ତାହା ଶୁଣୁ।”
