Revelation 2
1 'To the messenger of the Ephesian assembly write: These things saith he who is holding the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the midst of the seven lamp-stands — the golden:
“Ndik ne malaika morito kanisa man Efeso kama: Magi e weche Jal motingʼo sulwe abiriyo e lwete korachwich kendo mawuotho e kind rachungi teyni abiriyo mag dhahabu:
2 I have known thy works, and thy labour, and thy endurance, and that thou art not able to bear evil ones, and that thou hast tried those saying themselves to be apostles and are not, and hast found them liars,
Angʼeyo timbeni gi tichni matek kod kinda mari. Angʼeyo ni isetiyo matek kendo isetimo kinda. Angʼeyo ni imon gi joma timo timbe mamono. Angʼeyo ni isetemo joma luongore ni joote, to ok gin joote, ma iyudo ni gin jo-miriambo.
3 and thou didst bear, and hast endurance, and because of my name hast toiled, and hast not been weary.
Isetimo kinda kendo isehori e bwo chandruok nikech nyinga, to ok iseol.
4 'But I have against thee: That thy first love thou didst leave!
To kata kamano an kodi gi wach; iseweyo hera mane iherago mokwongo.
5 remember, then, whence thou hast fallen, and reform, and the first works do; and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will remove thy lamp-stand from its place — if thou mayest not reform;
Omiyo parie bor mar kuma iseaye ka ipodho! Lokri iwe richo mondo itim gik mane itimo mokwongo. To ka ok ilokori to abiro biro mi agol tachi kare.
6 but this thou hast, that thou dost hate the works of the Nicolaitans, that I also hate.
To kata kamano nitie tim maber ma apwoyigo, to isin gi timbe maricho mag jo-Nikolao ma an bende asin-go.
7 He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming — I will give to him to eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ne kanisa. Ngʼat molocho to anami adiera mar chamo olemb yadh ngima manie puotho mar Nyasaye.
8 'And to the messenger of the assembly of the Smyrneans write: These things saith the First and the Last, who did become dead and did live;
“Ndik ne malaika morito kanisa man Smurna kama: Magi e weche mag Jal Mokwongo kendo Mogik, Jal mane otho kendo ochier.
9 I have known thy works, and tribulation, and poverty — yet thou art rich — and the evil-speaking of those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but [are] a synagogue of the Adversary.
Angʼeyo chandruokni kod dhierni to kata kamano in jamoko. Bende angʼeyo ayany ma joma wuondore ni jo-Yahudi yanyigo to gin mana joma lamo Satan.
10 'Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the life.
Kik iluor kuom sand ma ibiro yudo machiegni. Adier, anyisou ni Jachien biro tweyo jomoko kuomu e od twech mondo otemugo kendo ubiro yudo sandruok kuom ndalo apar. Bed ja-adiera nyaka kar tho mi anamiyi osimbo mar ngima.
11 He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: He who is overcoming may not be injured of the second death.
Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ni kanisa. Ngʼat molocho to tho mar ariyo ok notime gimoro kata matin.
12 'And to the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things saith he who is having the sharp two-edged sword:
“Ndik ne malaika morito kanisa man Pergamo kama: Magi e weche Jal man-gi ligangla mabith ma dhoge ariyo:
13 I have known thy works, and where thou dost dwell — where the throne of the Adversary [is] — and thou dost hold fast my name, and thou didst not deny my faith, even in the days in which Antipas [was] my faithful witness, who was put to death beside you, where the Adversary doth dwell.
Angʼeyo kama idakie. En kama kom duongʼ mar Satan nitie to kata kamano isebedo kirito nyinga ahinya. Bende ne ok ikwedo yie miyiego kuoma, kata mana e kinde mane Antipa janeno mara mar adier onegi e dalau kama Satan odakie.
14 'But I have against thee a few things: That thou hast there those holding the teaching of Balaam, who did teach Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices, and to commit whoredom;
To kata kamano an kod weche matin kuomi: In kod jomoko kanyo maluwo puonj mar Balaam mane opuonjo Balak kaka onyalo ywayo jo-Israel mondo otim richo ka gichamo chiemo motimgo misango ni nyiseche manono kendo kuom richo mar chode.
15 so hast thou, even thou, those holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans — which thing I hate.
To bende in kod jomoko maluwo puonj mag jo-Nikolao.
16 'Reform! and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Emomiyo lokri iwe richo! Nikech ka ok ilokori to abiro biro mapiyo mondo aked kodgi gi ligangla mawuok e dhoga.
17 He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving [it].
Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ni kanisa. Ngʼat molocho abiro miyo manna moko mopandi. Bende abiro miye kidi marachar mondikie nying manyien maonge ngʼat mongʼeyo makmana ngʼat monwangʼe.
18 'And to the messenger of the assembly of Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who is having his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass;
“Ndik ne malaika morito kanisa man Thuatira kama: Magi e weche mag Wuod Nyasaye ma wengene chalo gi mach makakni bende tiendene chal ka mula mapakni.
19 I have known thy works, and love, and ministration, and faith, and thy endurance, and thy works — and the last [are] more than the first.
Angʼeyo timbeni gi herani kod yie mari gi tiji mar konyo ji kod kindani. Kendo imedo tiyo maber moloyo kaka nitiyo mokwongo.
20 'But I have against thee a few things: That thou dost suffer the woman Jezebel, who is calling herself a prophetess, to teach, and to lead astray, my servants to commit whoredom, and idol-sacrifices to eat;
Kata kamano, an kodi gi wach moro ma ok ber kuomi; iyie gi dhako miluongo ni Jezebel maluongore ni janabi madhako. En ema omiyo jotichna lal kopuonjogi mondo giterre, kendo mondo gicham chiemo motimgo misango ni nyiseche manono.
21 and I did give to her a time that she might reform from her whoredom, and she did not reform;
Ne amiye kinde mondo olokre owe richo mar chode to notamore.
22 lo, I will cast her into a couch, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation — if they may not repent of their works,
Omiyo abiro bole e kitanda mar thagruok bende abiro miyo joma terore kode yudo thagruok malich ka ok giyie loko chunygi mi giweyo timo richo.
23 and her children I will kill in death, and know shall all the assemblies that I am he who is searching reins and hearts; and I will give to you — to each — according to your works.
Nyithinde bende abiro nego, mi kanise biro ngʼeyo ni An ema angʼeyo chunje gi paro mag ji bende ni anapog ngʼato ka ngʼato kaka tichne chalo.
24 'And to you I say, and to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, and who did not know the depths of the Adversary, as they say; I will not put upon you other burden;
To Koro un ji mamoko duto modongʼ man Thuatira ma ok oseluwo puonjne kendo mapok ongʼeyo gima jomoko luongo ni weche mopondo mag Satan, ‘Ok aketnu tingʼ moro mapek,
25 but that which ye have — hold ye, till I may come;
omiyo makmana gima in-go matek nyaka abi.’
26 and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations,
To ngʼat molocho kendo timo dwarona nyaka giko, abiro miyo loch kuom ogendini.
27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron — as the vessels of the potter they shall be broken — as I also have received from my Father;
‘Ngʼat molochono norit ogendini gi ludh nyinyo, kendo notogi matindo tindo ka ngʼama toyo agulu,’ mana kaka Wuora osemiya teko mar loch.
28 and I will give to him the morning star.
To anamiye sulwe mar okinyi.
29 He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.
Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ni kanisa.
