< Revelation 2 >

1 To the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
“Dee akwụkwọ nye mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ dị nʼEfesọs, sị ya: Ihe ndị a bụ okwu si nʼọnụ onye ahụ na-ejide kpakpando asaa nʼaka ya, ma na-ejegharịkwa nʼetiti ihe ịdọba oriọna ọlaedo asaa ndị ahụ.
2 I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and that thou canst not bear them who are evil; and thou hast tried them who say they are apostles, and are not; and hast found them liars:
Amaara m ihe niile banyere ọrụ gị niile. Ahụkwala m ịrụsị ọrụ ike gị na ntachiobi gị. Amaara m na ị dịghị anagide ndị ajọ omume, na ị nwaleela ndị ahụ niile na-akpọ onwe ha ndị ozi, ma ha abụghị ndị ozi nʼezie, chọpụtakwa na ha bụ ndị ụgha.
3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast labored, and hast not fainted.
I jirila ntachiobi nagide nhụju anya nʼihi aha m, ma ike agwụghị gị.
4 Nevertheless, I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Ma enwere m ihe ndị a megide gị. Ị hapụla ịhụnanya mbụ ahụ i nwere.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of its place, except thou repent.
Cheta ọnọdụ i si na ya daa. Chegharịa, mekwa ihe ndị ahụ ị na-eme na mbụ. Ọ bụrụ na i meghị otu a, aga m abịa wepụ ihe ịdọba oriọna gị site nʼọnọdụ ya.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Ọ bụladị otu a, o nwere ihe ụfọdụ dị mma banyere gị. Ị kpọrọ ọrụ ọjọọ nke ndị Nikolaitan asị, dịka mụ onwe m si kpọọ ya asị.
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Onye ọbụla nwere ntị, ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ Nsọ na-agwa nzukọ. Onye ahụ na-emeri emeri ka m ga-enye ike iri mkpụrụ sitere nʼosisi ndụ ahụ nke dị na paradaịs nke Chineke.
8 And to the angel of the church in Smyrna, write; These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and is alive;
“Dee akwụkwọ nye mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ dị na Smyrna, sị ya: Ihe ndị a bụ okwu ahụ bụ Mmalite na Ọgwụgwụ ihe niile. Onye nwụrụ anwụ ma dịkwa ndụ ọzọ.
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them who say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.
Amaara m mkpagbu gị niile na ịda ogbenye gị. Ma nʼezie, ị bụ ọgaranya. Amaara m ihe banyere nkwutọ niile ndị ahụ na-akpọ onwe ha ndị Juu na-ekwutọ gị, ma ha abụghị ndị Juu, nʼezie ha bụ ụlọ nzukọ ekwensu.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil will cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful to death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Atụkwala egwu nʼihi ihe ahụ gaje ịbịakwasị gị. Nʼihi na ekwensu nʼonwe ya gaje ime ka a tụba ụfọdụ nʼime ndị gị nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, ka o jiri ya nwalee gị. A ga-akpagbu unu abalị iri. Ma gosi onwe gị onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, ọ bụladị ruo mgbe ọnwụ ga-abịakwasị gị. Emesịa, a ga m enye gị okpueze ahụ, bụ ndụ.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches; He that overcometh, shall not be hurt by the second death.
Onye ọbụla nwere ntị ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ Nsọ na-agwa nzukọ niile. Onye ọbụla na-emeri emeri, ọnwụ nke ugboro abụọ agaghị emekpa ya ahụ.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he who hath the sharp sword with two edges;
“Dee akwụkwọ nye mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ dị Pegamọm, sị ya: Ndị a bụ okwu si nʼọnụ onye ahụ ji mma agha ahụ dị nkọ nke nwere ihu abụọ nʼaka ya.
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan's seat [is]: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas [was] my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Amaara m ebe i bi, bụ obodo ebe ekwensu nwere ocheeze ya. Ma ị na-anọgidesi ike nʼaha m. Ị jụrụ ịgọnarị okwukwe gị nʼime m, ọ bụladị nʼoge Antipas onyeama m kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, bụ onye e gburu nʼobodo unu, ebe ekwensu bi.
14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit lewdness.
Ma enwere m ihe ole ma ole megide gị. I nwere ụfọdụ mmadụ ebe ahụ, ndị jidesiri nkuzi Belam ike, bụ onye kuziiri Balak ka o raa ụmụ Izrel ụra nke mere ka ha mehie, rie ihe a chụrụ nʼaja nye arụsị, kwaakwa iko.
15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Nʼotu aka ahụ, i nwekwara ụfọdụ mmadụ ndị jidesiri nkuzi Nikolaitan ike.
16 Repent; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Ya mere, chegharịa! Ma ọ bụghị otu a, aga m abịakwute gị ọsịịsọ jiri mma agha dị m nʼọnụ buso ha agha.
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth, he excepted, that receiveth [it].
Onye ọbụla nwere ntị, ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ Nsọ na-agwa nzukọ niile. Ọ bụ naanị onye na-emeri emeri ka m ga-enye ụfọdụ nʼime achịcha mánà ahụ e zoro ezo. Aga m enyekwa onye ahụ ezi nkume ọcha ahụ, nke edekwasịrị aha ọhụrụ nʼelu ya, nke onye ọbụla ọzọ na-agaghị amata, karịa onye ahụ natara ya.
18 And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass;
“Dee akwụkwọ nye mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ dị na Tiatira, sị ya: Ndị a bụ okwu sitere nʼaka Ọkpara Chineke, onye anya ya na-enwuba nʼebe niile dị ka ire ọkụ. Ụkwụ ya kwa na-egbu maramara dị ka bronz a nụchara nke ọma.
19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last [to be] more than the first:
Amaara m ọrụ gị niile, na ịhụnanya gị, na okwukwe gị. Amakwaara m ije ozi gị na ntachiobi gị, na-ahụkwa na ị na-arụ ọrụ ugbu a karịa ka i mere na mbụ.
20 Notwithstanding, I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit lewdness, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
Ma enwere m ihe ndị a megide gị. Ị na-anabata nwanyị ahụ a na-akpọ Jezebel, onye na-ekwupụta na ya bụ onye amụma nwanyịnye ya ohere ka o were nkuzi asị na-eduhie ndị ohu m ụzọ, ka ha kwaa iko, riekwa ihe e ji chụọrọ arụsị aja.
21 And I gave her time to repent of her lewdness, and she repented not.
Enyela m ya ohere ka o si na mmehie ya chegharịa, ma ọ jụrụ ichegharị site na ndụ ịkwa iko.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Lee, aga m etinye ya nʼute ahụhụ, meekwa ka ndị ya na ha na-akwa iko taa ahụhụ dị ukwuu. Ọ bụ naanị ma ha chegharịrị ka ihe ndị a na-agaghị abịakwasị ha.
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give to every one of you according to your works.
Ma nʼebe ụmụ ya nọ, aga m etigbu ha ka ha nwụọ. Nzukọ niile ga-amata na abụ m onye na-enyocha mmụọ na mkpụrụobi niile. Aga m akwụghachikwa onye ọbụla nʼime unu ụgwọ ọrụ kwesiri ọrụ ya.
24 But to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, As many as have not this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you no other burden:
Ugbu a, ana m agwa unu ndị fọdụrụ na Tiatira, unu ndị na-agbasoghị ozizi ya, ndị na-amụtabekwaghị ihe ndị ahụ ekwensu kpọrọ ihe nzuzo dị omimi, ‘O nweghị ibu arọ ọzọ m ga-ebokwasị unu,
25 But that which ye have [already] hold fast till I come.
ma ọ bụghị, unu jidesienụ ihe unu nwere aka ike tutu ruo mgbe m ga-abịa.’
26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works to the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Ma onye ọbụla na-emeri emeri, na-anọgidekwa na-eme uche m ruo ọgwụgwụ ihe niile, ka m ga-enye ikike nʼebe mba niile nọ.
27 (And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: ) even as I received of my Father.
Onye ahụ, ‘ga-eji mkpara igwe chịa ha, dịka mgbe a kụwachara ite aja na mpekele na mpekele.’Ọ bụladị ka Nna m si nye m ike,
28 And I will give him the morning-star.
a ga-enye onye nke meririnụ kpakpando ụtụtụ.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Onye ọbụla nwere ntị, ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ Nsọ na-agwa nzukọ niile.
