Kũguũrĩrio 2
1 “Kũrĩ mũraika wa Kanitha wa Efeso, mwandĩkĩre atĩrĩ: Ici nĩcio ciugo cia ũrĩa ũnyiitĩte njata icio mũgwanja na guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo, ũrĩa ũthiiagĩra mĩtĩ-inĩ ĩyo mũgwanja ya thahabu ya kũigĩrĩra matawa.
“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 lampstands.
2 Nĩnjũũĩ ciĩko ciaku, o na wĩra waku mũritũ, o na ũkirĩrĩria waku. Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ndũngĩkirĩrĩria andũ arĩa aaganu, na atĩ andũ arĩa moigaga nĩ atũmwo no ti atũmwo nĩwamageririe, na ũkĩmenya atĩ nĩ a maheeni.
I know your deeds, your labor, and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and you have tested and exposed as liars those who falsely claim to be apostles.
3 Nĩũkirĩrĩirie na ũkomĩrĩria mathĩĩna nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, na ndũrĩ wanoga.
Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name.
4 No rĩrĩ, ũndũ ũrĩa ngũgũcuukĩra nĩ atĩrĩ: Nĩwatigire gũikara na wendani ũrĩa warĩ naguo mbere.
But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love.
5 Ririkana kũrĩa uumĩte ũkagũa! Wĩrire ũcooke wĩke maũndũ marĩa wekaga mbere. Waga kwĩrira, nĩngũũka kũrĩ we na njeherie mũtĩ waku wa kũigĩrĩra tawa kuuma handũ haguo.
Therefore, keep in mind how far you have fallen. Repent and perform the deeds you did at first. But if you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
6 No rĩrĩ, ũrĩ na ũndũ ũmwe mwega: Wee nĩũthũire ciĩko cia andũ arĩa metagwo Anikolai, iria o na niĩ thũire.
But you have this to your credit: You hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Ũrĩa ũrĩ gũtũ-rĩ, nĩakĩigue ũrĩa Roho areera makanitha. Ũrĩa wa gũtoorania-rĩ, nĩngamwĩtĩkĩria kũrĩa maciaro ma mũtĩ wa muoyo, ũrĩa ũrĩ mũgũnda-inĩ wa Ngai wa gĩkeno.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of life in the Paradise of God.
8 “Kũrĩ mũraika wa kanitha wa Simurina, mwandĩkĩre atĩrĩ: Ici nĩcio ciugo cia ũrĩa wa Mbere na nowe wa Kũrĩkĩrĩria, ũrĩa wakuire na agĩcooka akĩriũka.
To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of the First and the Last, who died and returned to life.
9 Nĩnjũũĩ mĩnyamaro yaku na ũthĩĩni waku, no ũrĩ gĩtonga! Nĩnjũũĩ ũrĩa ũrumagwo nĩ arĩa moigaga atĩ nĩ Ayahudi no ti Ayahudi, no nĩ thunagogi ya Shaitani.
I know your affliction and your poverty—though you are rich! And I am aware of the slander of those who falsely claim to be Jews, but are in fact a synagogue of Satan.
10 Ndũkae gwĩtigĩra maũndũ marĩa ũkiriĩ gũthĩĩnio namo. Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, mũcukani nĩarĩikia amwe anyu njeera nĩguo amũgerie, na mũnyamario handũ ha mĩthenya ikũmi. Wee ikaraga ũrĩ mwĩhokeku, o nginya gũkua, na nĩngũkũhe thũmbĩ ya muoyo.
Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 Ũrĩa ũrĩ gũtũ-rĩ, nĩakĩigue ũrĩa Roho areera makanitha. Ũrĩa wa gũtoorania-rĩ, ndakahutio o na hanini nĩ gĩkuũ kĩrĩa gĩa keerĩ.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who overcomes will not be harmed by the second death.
12 “Kũrĩ mũraika wa kanitha wa Perigamo mwandĩkĩre atĩrĩ: Ici nĩcio ciugo cia ũrĩa ũrĩ na rũhiũ rũũgĩ mĩena yeerĩ.
To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of the One who holds the sharp, double-edged sword.
13 Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩnjũũĩ kũrĩa ũtũũraga, o kũu Shaitani arĩ na gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene. No ũtũũrĩte ũrĩ o mwĩhokeku harĩ niĩ. Wee ndũigana gũkaana wĩtĩkio ũrĩa warĩ naguo thĩinĩ wakwa, o na matukũ-inĩ ma Antipa, mũira wakwa mwĩhokeku, ũrĩa woragĩirwo itũũra-inĩ rĩanyu inene, o kũu Shaitani atũũraga.
I know where you live, where the throne of Satan sits. Yet you have held fast to My name and have not denied your faith in Me, even in the day when My faithful witness Antipas was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
14 No rĩrĩ, ndĩ na maũndũ matarĩ maingĩ ngũgũcuukĩra: atĩrĩ, ũrĩ na andũ kũu marũmĩtie ũrutani wa Balamu, ũrĩa warutire Balaki kũheenereria andũ a Isiraeli mehie na ũndũ wa kũrĩa irio irutĩirwo mĩhianano, o na mahũũrage ũmaraya.
But I have a few things against you, because some of you hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block before the Israelites so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality.
15 O na ningĩ no ũrĩ na andũ amwe marũmĩtie ũrutani wa andũ arĩa metagwo Anikolai.
In the same way, some of you also hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kĩĩrire! Waga gwĩka ũguo, nĩngũũka kũrĩ we ica ikuhĩ, hũũrane nao na rũhiũ rũrũ rũrĩ kanua gakwa.
Therefore repent! Otherwise I will come to you shortly and wage war against them with the sword of My mouth.
17 Ũrĩa ũrĩ gũtũ-rĩ, nĩakĩigue ũrĩa Roho areera makanitha. Ũrĩa ũgaatoorania-rĩ, nĩngamũhe mana mamwe marĩa mahithe. O na ningĩ nĩngamũhe ihiga rĩerũ rĩandĩkĩtwo rĩĩtwa rĩerũ, na gũtarĩ ũngĩ ũrĩũĩ o tiga ũcio ũkaamũkĩra ihiga rĩu.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will give the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone inscribed with a new name, known only to the one who receives it.
18 “Kũrĩ mũraika wa kanitha wa Thuatira, mwandĩkĩre atĩrĩ: Ici nĩcio ciugo cia Mũrũ wa Ngai, ũrĩa ũrĩ na maitho matariĩ ta rũrĩrĩmbĩ rwa mwaki, na magũrũ make matariĩ ta gĩcango kĩrĩa gĩkumuthe gĩgathera.
To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like a blazing fire and whose feet are like polished bronze.
19 Nĩnjũũĩ ciĩko ciaku, na ngamenya wendani waku, na wĩtĩkio waku, na ũtungata waku, na ũkirĩrĩria waku, o na ngamenya atĩ ciĩko ciaku cia kũrigĩrĩria nĩikĩrĩte iria cia mbere.
I know your deeds—your love, your faith, your service, your perseverance—and your latter deeds are greater than your first.
20 No rĩrĩ, ũndũ ngũgũcuukĩra no atĩrĩ, atĩ nĩũkirĩrĩirie mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio wĩtagwo Jezebeli, ũcio wĩtuaga mũnabii. Nĩ ũndũ wa ũrutani wake, nĩahĩtithagia ndungata ciakwa ihũũrage ũmaraya, na irĩĩage irio iria irutĩirwo mĩhianano.
But I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads My servants to be sexually immoral and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
21 Nĩndĩmũheete ihinda rĩa kwĩrira ũmaraya ũcio wake, no nĩaregete.
Even though I have given her time to repent of her immorality, she is unwilling.
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmũikia gĩtanda-inĩ kĩa mĩnyamaro, na ndũme arĩa matharagia nake manyamare mũno, tiga no meririre matigane na mĩthiĩre yake.
Behold, I will cast her onto a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer great tribulation unless they repent of her deeds.
23 Nĩngooraga ciana ciake. Namo makanitha mothe nĩmakamenya atĩ nĩ niĩ thuthuuragia ngoro na meciiria, na nĩngarĩha o mũndũ wanyu kũringana na ciĩko ciake.
Then I will strike her children dead, and all the churches will know that I am the One who searches minds and hearts, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
24 Na rĩu inyuĩ arĩa mũrĩ kũu Thuatira, o inyuĩ mũtarũmĩtie ũrutani wake, na mũtarĩ mwamenya maũndũ marĩa marikĩru ma hitho cia Shaitani, ta ũguo andũ acio moigaga, inyuĩ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ (no ndirĩ na mũrigo ũngĩ ngũmũigĩrĩra):
But I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned the so-called deep things of Satan: I will place no further burden upon you.
25 Ikaragai mũrũmĩtie O maũndũ marĩa mũrĩ namo o nginya rĩrĩa ngooka.
Nevertheless, hold fast to what you have until I come.
26 Nake ũrĩa ũgaatoorania na ahingagie wendi wakwa nginya mũthia-rĩ, nĩngamũhe wathani aathage ndũrĩrĩ:
And to the one who overcomes and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations.
27 ‘Nake nĩagaciathaga na rũthanju rwa kĩgera; agaacimemenda o ta ũrĩa nyũngũ ya rĩũmba ĩmemendagwo,’ o ta ũrĩa niĩ heetwo wathani uumĩte kũrĩ Baba.
He will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery —just as I have received authority from My Father.
28 Na ningĩ nĩngamũhe njata ĩrĩa ya rũciinĩ.
And I will give him the morning star.
29 Ũrĩa ũrĩ gũtũ-rĩ, nĩakĩigue ũrĩa Roho areera makanitha.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
