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.
Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write: These things saith he, who holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:
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 thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them that are evil, and thou hast tried them, who say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
3 Nĩũkirĩrĩirie na ũkomĩrĩria mathĩĩna nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, na ndũrĩ wanoga.
And thou hast patience, and hast endured for my name, and hast not fainted.
4 No rĩrĩ, ũndũ ũrĩa ngũgũcuukĩra nĩ atĩrĩ: Nĩwatigire gũikara na wendani ũrĩa warĩ naguo mbere.
But I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first charity.
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.
Be mindful therefore from whence thou art fallen: and do penance, and do the first works. Or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou do penance.
6 No rĩrĩ, ũrĩ na ũndũ ũmwe mwega: Wee nĩũthũire ciĩko cia andũ arĩa metagwo Anikolai, iria o na niĩ thũire.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaites, 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, that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: To him, that overcometh, I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my 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.
And to the angel of the church of Smyrna write: These things saith the First and the Last, who was dead, and is alive:
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 thy tribulation and thy poverty, but thou art rich: and thou art blasphemed by them that say they are Jews and are not, but are the 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.
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison that you may be tried: and you shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful until death: and I will give thee 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, that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: He that shall overcome, shall not be hurt by the second death.
12 “Kũrĩ mũraika wa kanitha wa Perigamo mwandĩkĩre atĩrĩ: Ici nĩcio ciugo cia ũrĩa ũrĩ na rũhiũ rũũgĩ mĩena yeerĩ.
And to the angel of the church of Pergamus write: These things, saith he, that hath the sharp two 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 thou dwellest, where the seat of Satan is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith. Even in those days when Antipas was my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
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 against thee a few things: because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat, and to commit fornication:
15 O na ningĩ no ũrĩ na andũ amwe marũmĩtie ũrutani wa andũ arĩa metagwo Anikolai.
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaites.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kĩĩrire! Waga gwĩka ũguo, nĩngũũka kũrĩ we ica ikuhĩ, hũũrane nao na rũhiũ rũrũ rũrĩ kanua gakwa.
In like manner do penance: if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will fight 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, that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: To him that overcometh, I will give the hidden manna, and will give him a white counter, and in the counter, a new name written, which no man knoweth, but he that receiveth 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.
And to the angel of the church of Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like to a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass.
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 thy works, and thy faith, and thy charity, and thy ministry, and thy patience, and thy last works which are more than the former.
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 against thee a few things: because thou sufferest the woman Jezabel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach, and to seduce my servants, to commit fornication, and to eat of things sacrificed to idols.
21 Nĩndĩmũheete ihinda rĩa kwĩrira ũmaraya ũcio wake, no nĩaregete.
And I gave her a time that she might do penance, and she will not repent of her fornication.
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 into a bed: and they that commit adultery with her shall be in very great tribulation, except they do penance from their 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.
And I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts, and I will give to every one of you according to your works. But to you I say,
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):
And to the rest who are at Thyatira: Whosoever have not this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will not put upon you any other burthen.
25 Ikaragai mũrũmĩtie O maũndũ marĩa mũrĩ namo o nginya rĩrĩa ngooka.
Yet that, which you have, hold fast till I come.
26 Nake ũrĩa ũgaatoorania na ahingagie wendi wakwa nginya mũthia-rĩ, nĩngamũhe wathani aathage ndũrĩrĩ:
And he that shall overcome, and keep my works unto the end, I will give him power 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.
And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and as the vessel of a potter they shall be broken,
28 Na ningĩ nĩngamũhe njata ĩrĩa ya rũciinĩ.
As I also have received of my Father: and I will give him the morning star.
29 Ũrĩa ũrĩ gũtũ-rĩ, nĩakĩigue ũrĩa Roho areera makanitha.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
