< 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 walks among the seven golden lamps: —
Chatzꞌibꞌaj we tzij riꞌ che ri komontyox ri kꞌo pa Éfeso: Ri kꞌo wuqubꞌ chꞌumil pa ri uwiqiqꞌabꞌ, ri kꞌo puꞌnikꞌajil ri wuqubꞌ kꞌolibꞌal kantela bꞌantal che qꞌana pwaq, kubꞌij:
2 I know your life, your toil and endurance, and I know that you cannot tolerate evil-doers. I know, too, how you tested those who declare that they are Apostles, though they are not, and how you proved them false.
Ri in wetaꞌm ri tajin kabꞌano, ri kꞌax laj chak xuqujeꞌ ri ajeqelem. Wetaꞌm chi man kaqꞌiꞌtaj katkꞌojiꞌk kukꞌ ri itzel taq winaq. Qas xaꞌsolij na ri winaq ri kakijaluj chi e nutaqoꞌn xawil kꞌut chi xaq e bꞌanal taq tzij.
3 You possess endurance, and have borne much for my Name, and have never grown weary.
Qas xjeqiꞌ akꞌuꞌx xuqujeꞌ xariq kꞌax rumal ri nubꞌiꞌ, man at qꞌiꞌtajinaq ta kꞌut.
4 But this I have against you — You have abandoned your first love.
Pune jeriꞌ at noꞌjininaq, kꞌo jun jastaq ri man utz taj wilom chawe, man kinaloqꞌaj ta chik jetaq ri xabꞌan chinuloqꞌaxik are kꞌa te wi xatkojonik.
5 Therefore remember from what you have fallen, and repent, and live the life that you lived before; or else, I will come and remove your Lamp from its place, unless you repent.
Naꞌtaj bꞌa chawe jas jeꞌ ri katnoꞌjin kan nabꞌe, chattzalij chunimaxik ri Dios. Chatzaqa kanoq ubꞌanik ri etzelal, are chawilij ubꞌanik ri utz taq chak ri kabꞌan kan nabꞌe. We man jeriꞌ kabꞌano, keꞌnqꞌata tzij paꞌwiꞌ xuqujeꞌ kinwesaj bꞌik ri kꞌolibꞌal akantela pa ri ukꞌolibꞌal.
6 But this is in your favour — You hate the life lived by the Nikolaitans, and I also hate it.
Ri utz kinwilo che ri kabꞌano, are chi kawetzelaj ri kakibꞌan ri winaq ri kabꞌix Nicolaítas chike, are waꞌ jun jastaq ri kinwetzelaj xuqujeꞌ in.
7 Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. To him who conquers — to him I will give the right ‘to eat the fruit of the Tree of life, which stands in the Paradise of God.’ “
Ri kꞌo uxikin, chutatabꞌej ri kubꞌij ri Uxlabꞌixel chike ri komontyox. Ri kachꞌeken puꞌwiꞌ ri kꞌaxkꞌolal, kinya na bꞌe che kutij ri uwach ri cheꞌ ri kuya kꞌaslemal, are waꞌ ri kꞌo pa ri jun jeꞌl laj kꞌolibꞌal ri utikom ri Dios.
8 To the Angel of the Church in Smyrna write: — “These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died, but is restored to life: —
Xuqujeꞌ chatzꞌibꞌaj che ri ángel rech ri komontyox ri kꞌo pa Esmirna: In riꞌ ri in nabꞌe xuqujeꞌ in kꞌisbꞌal, ri xinkam na kꞌa te riꞌ xinkꞌastajik:
9 I know your persecution and your poverty — yet you are rich! I know, too, the slander that comes from those who declare that they are Jews, though they are not, but are a Congregation of Satan.
In wetaꞌm ri achak xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌax ri kariqo, je xuqujeꞌ ri amebꞌail, pune jeriꞌ at, at qꞌinom. Wetaꞌm chi ri winaq ri kakibꞌij chi aꞌj Israel kakibꞌan bꞌanoj tzij chawij pune kꞌu jeriꞌ kakibꞌano, we winaq riꞌ xaq e rachoch ri Itzel.
10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. The Devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tempted, and may undergo persecution for ten days. Be faithful even to death, and I will give you the Crown of Life.
Maxiꞌj awibꞌ che ri kꞌax ri kariq na. Ri itzel kuꞌkoj na nikꞌaj chiꞌwe pa cheꞌ, rech jeriꞌ karilo we qas jeqel ikꞌuꞌx chwij. Xuqujeꞌ kiriq na kꞌax jun lajuj qꞌij. We kꞌu kajeqiꞌ ikꞌuꞌx chwij kꞌa pa ri kamikal kinya na chiꞌwe ri korona rech jun alik kꞌaslemal.
11 Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. He who conquers shall suffer no hurt from the Second Death.”
Ri kꞌo uxikin, chutatabꞌej ri kubꞌij ri Uxlabꞌixel chike ri komontyox. Ri kachꞌeken puꞌwiꞌ we jastaq riꞌ man kuriq ta ri ukabꞌ kamikal.
12 To the Angel of the Church in Pergamus write: — “These are the words of him who holds the sharp two-edged sword: —
Chatzꞌibꞌaj we tzij riꞌ che ri ángel rech ri komontyox pa Pérgamo: Are waꞌ ri kubꞌij ri ajchoqꞌe ri sakꞌibꞌal ri nitzꞌ uwach kebꞌ upuꞌchiꞌ.
13 I know where you dwell, where the Throne of Satan stands. And yet you hold to my Name, and you did not disown my Faith even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death among you where Satan dwells.
Wetaꞌm chi chilaꞌ katel wi jawjeꞌ kꞌo wi ri utꞌuyulibꞌal ri Itzel. Pune jeriꞌ xaq jeꞌ jeqel akꞌuꞌx chwij. Man xkabꞌalaj ta akꞌuꞌx chwij pune xawilo chi xkamisax ri sukꞌalaj patanil we Antipas, ri xkamisax pa ri tinimit jawjeꞌ kꞌo wi ri Itzel.
14 Yet I have a few things against you — You have among you those who hold to the Teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put temptations in the way of the Israelites, so that they should eat idol-offerings and commit licentious acts.
Pune jeriꞌ, kꞌo jujun jastaq ri man utz taj kinwil chawe, are chi man awetzelam taj ri kakitereneꞌj ri ukꞌutuꞌn ri Balaam. Ri Balaam xuya unoꞌj ri Balac rech xuꞌtaqchiꞌj pa mak ri aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ xukoj kikꞌuꞌx rech kakiqꞌijilaꞌj e bꞌanom taq tyox xuqujeꞌ chutijik ri jastaq ri ikꞌowisatal chikiwach ri e bꞌanom taq tyox, je xuqujeꞌ chubꞌanik makaj kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ixoqibꞌ.
15 Again you have among you those who hold in the same way to the Teaching of the Nikolaitans.
Xuqujeꞌ man aꞌwetzelam taj ri winaq ri are kakitereneꞌj ri kikꞌutuꞌn ri winaq ri kabꞌix nicolaítas chike.
16 Therefore repent, or else, I will come quickly and contend with such men with words that will cut like a sword.
Rumal riꞌ kinbꞌij chawe chakꞌexa akꞌuꞌx, rumal cher we man kinanimaj, rukꞌ ri sakꞌibꞌal ri kel loq pa nuchiꞌ, kinpe na chubꞌanik kꞌax chawe xuqujeꞌ chike ri e tereneꞌl taq ke ri e nicolaítas
17 Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. To him who conquers — to him I will give a share of the mystic manna, and I will give him a white stone; and on the stone shall be inscribed a new name, which no one knows except him who receives it.”
Ri kꞌo uxikin chutatabꞌexik, chutatabꞌej ri kubꞌij ri Uxlabꞌixel chike ri komontyox. Ri kachꞌeken puꞌwiꞌ we jastaq riꞌ, kayaꞌtaj na che ri maná ri awatalik, xuqujeꞌ jun laj nitzꞌ saq abꞌaj jawjeꞌ ri tzꞌibꞌatal wi jun kꞌakꞌ bꞌiꞌaj ri xwi ri winaq ri kakꞌamawaꞌnik ketaꞌmanik jas ri tzꞌibꞌatal choch.
18 To the Angel of the Church in Thyatira write: — “These are the words of the Son of God, ‘whose eyes are like flaming fire, and whose feet are like brass’: —
Chatzꞌibꞌaj we tzij riꞌ che ri ángel ri kꞌo pa Tiatira: Are waꞌ ri kubꞌij ri Ukꞌojol ri Dios, ri kꞌo ubꞌoqꞌoch ri jer kꞌo ri qꞌaqꞌ ri kajinowik xuqujeꞌ ri raqan ri jer kꞌo qꞌanqꞌoj chꞌichꞌ ri kajuluwik. Chatatabꞌej ri kubꞌij:
19 I know your life, your love, faith, service, and endurance; and I know that your life of late has been better than it was at first.
Wilom chi kuꞌlinaq akꞌuꞌx chwij, ri chak ri abꞌanom, ri aloqꞌanik, ri apatanijik xuqujeꞌ ri ajeqelem, xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌisbꞌal taq achak are nimaꞌq cho ri nabꞌe taq chak ri xabꞌano.
20 Yet I have this against you — You tolerate the woman Jezebel, who declares that she is a Prophetess, and misleads my servants by her teaching, till they commit licentious acts and eat idol-offerings.
Pune jeriꞌ katnoꞌjinik, kꞌo jun jastaq ri man utz taj wilom chawe, are chi utz kawilo chi ri jun ixoq Jezabel xaq jeꞌ tajin kuꞌtaqchiꞌj ri e patanil taq we pa mak, xuqujeꞌ ubꞌim chike chi utz kakitij ri jastaq ri tzujtal chikiwach ri e bꞌanom taq tyox, kꞌa te riꞌ kukoj kikꞌuꞌx rech man kajeqiꞌ ta kikꞌuꞌx chwij.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she is determined not to turn from her licentiousness.
Ri in nuyoꞌm na jun janipa qꞌij che rech kukꞌex ukꞌuꞌx, rech katzalij chinunimaxik, man tanalinaq ta kꞌu che ri uterenem chikij ri e bꞌanom taq tyox.
22 Therefore I am laying her upon a bed of sickness, and bringing great suffering upon those who are unfaithful with her, unless they repent and turn from a life like hers.
Rumal riꞌ kinbꞌan na che kuriq jun nimalaj yabꞌil, ri winaq kꞌut ri kakibꞌan mak rukꞌ kakiriq na nimalaj kꞌax we man kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx che ri xketaꞌmaj rukꞌ we ixoq riꞌ.
23 I will also put her children to death; and all the Churches shall learn that I am he who ‘looks into the hearts and souls of men’; and I will give to each one of you what his life deserves.
Ri e tereneꞌl taq rech we ixoq riꞌ kakiriq na yabꞌil rech kamikal. Jeriꞌ konojel ri komontyox kaketaꞌmaj na chi in kinsolin ri uchomabꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri ranimaꞌ ri winaq. Are kinya na ri kataqiꞌk chike ri winaq pa kijujunal.
24 But I say to the rest of you at Thyatira — all who do not accept such teaching, whose who did not learn ‘the secrets of Satan,’ as men call them — I am not laying on you any further burden;
Are kꞌu ri ix, ri ix kꞌo xuqujeꞌ pa Tiatira ri man iwetaꞌmam ta iwe ri ukꞌutuꞌn we ixoq riꞌ xuqujeꞌ man iwetaꞌmam ta ri kabꞌix ri ukꞌuꞌx ri uchomabꞌal ri Itzel che ri awatalik, kinbꞌij chiꞌwe: Man kinya ta chi jun eqaꞌn chiꞌwij.
25 only hold fast to what you have received, until I come.
Are kꞌu ri yaꞌtal chiꞌwe chiyakaꞌ, kꞌa pa ri qꞌij ri kintzalij loq.
26 To him who conquers and is careful to live my life to the end — to him I will give authority over the nations,
Ri kachꞌeken puꞌwiꞌ we jastaq riꞌ xuqujeꞌ kubꞌan ri urayibꞌal na kꞌuꞌx kꞌa pa ri kꞌisbꞌal re ronojel, kinya na kwinem che kabꞌan re pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri tinimit ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew.
27 and ‘he shall rule them with an iron rod, as when earthen vessels are broken in pieces’ (as I myself have received from my Father)
Jetaq ri ubꞌim ri Tataxel chwe in, ri winaq ri jewaꞌ kanoꞌjinik, kabꞌan na rech pa kiwiꞌ we tinimit riꞌ, rukꞌ kꞌaxal, xuqujeꞌ kuꞌpaxij na jetaq ri kabꞌan che ri tꞌuꞌy ri bꞌantal che rulewal bꞌoꞌj.
28 and I will give him the Morning Star.
Kinya na ri kwinem ri xuya ri Tataxel chwe in, xuqujeꞌ kinya na che ri chꞌumil rech aqꞌabꞌil.
29 Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.”
Ri kꞌo uxikin, chutatabꞌej ri kubꞌij ri Uxlabꞌixel chike ri e komontyox.
