Revelasyon 2
1 Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Efèz la. Di l' konsa: Moun ki kenbe sèt zetwal yo nan men dwat li a, moun k'ap mache nan mitan sèt gwo lanp sèt branch lò yo, men sa li voye di ou:
By the messenger of the congregation in Ephesus, write: These things, says he who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamps:
2 Mwen konnen tou sa w'ap fè, jan ou travay di, jan ou gen pasians. Mwen konnen tou ou pa ka sipòte mechan yo: ou sonde tout moun sa yo k'ap pran pòz apòt yo. Ou dekouvri se mantò yo ye.
I know your works, and your labor, and your pateince; and that you can not bear those who are evil: and you have tried those who say they are Apostles, and are not, and have found them liars;
3 Ou gen anpil pasians, ou soufri anpil poutèt mwen. Ou pa dekouraje.
and you have patience; and have borne for my name's sake, and have not fainted.
4 Men, men repwòch mwen gen pou m' fè ou: Koulye a ou pa renmen m' jan ou te renmen m' anvan an.
Nevertheless, I have against you that you have lost your first love.
5 Chonje kote ou te ye anvan ou tonbe a, tounen vin jwenn Bondye. Reprann lavi ou t'ap mennen anvan an. Si ou pa tounen vin jwenn Bondye, m'ap vini kote ou ye a, m'ap wete chandelie ou la nan plas kote l' ye a.
Remember, therefore, from what you are fallen, and reform, and do the first works, otherwise I will come to you quickly, and take away your lamp out of its place, unless you reform.
6 Men, malgre sa, ou gen kichòy ki bon: ou pa vle wè sa bann Nikolayit yo ap fè a. Mwen menm tou, mwen pa vle wè yo.
Yet you have this, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Se pou moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo! Tout moun ki va goumen jouk yo genyen batay la, m'ap ba yo dwa pou yo manje nan piebwa ki bay lavi a, piebwa ki nan mitan jaden Bondye a.
Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. To him who conquers, I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
8 Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Esmen lan. Di l' konsa: Moun ki premie a ak dènye a, li menm ki te mouri, men ki te leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, men sa l' voye di ou:
And by the messenger of the congregation in Symrna, write: These things, says the First and the Last, who was dead, and is alive:
9 Mwen konnen jan w'ap soufri. Mwen konnen jan ou pòv. Men, pou di vre, ou rich anpil! Mwen konnen jan moun ki swadizan jwif yo ap pale ou mal. Men, se pa jwif yo ye. Se yon bann moun Satan.
I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich, ) and I know the slander of those who say they are Jews, and are not; but are the assembly of Satan.
10 Ou pa bezwen pè pou sa ou pral soufri ankò. Koute, Satan pral chache sonde nou tout, li pral jete anpil nan nou nan prizon. Nou pral soufri pandan dis jou. Men, kenbe fèm menm si nou gen pou n' mouri. M'a ban nou lavi pou rekonpans.
Fear none of the things which you shall suffer; behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried; and you shall have tribulation ten days: be you faithful until death, and I will give you a crown of life.
11 Se pou moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo. Moun ki va goumen jouk yo genyen batay la p'ap soufri dezyèm lanmò a.
Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. The conqueror shall not be injured by the second death.
12 Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Pègam lan. Di l' konsa: Men sa moun ki gen nepe file de bò a voye di ou:
And by the messenger of the congregation which is in Pergamos, write: These things says he who has the sharp two-edged sword:
13 Mwen konnen kote ou rete a se la Satan chita. Ou pa lage m', ou pa pèdi konfians ou gen nan mwen an, menm lè yo te fè touye Antipas ki mouri poutèt mwen la nan mitan nou, nan lavil kote Satan rete a.
I know your works, and where you dwell; even where the throne of Satan is: and you hold fast my name, and have not denied my faith, even in those days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.
14 Men, men repwòch mwen gen pou m' fè ou: ou gen kèk moun lakay ou k'ap swiv konsèy Balaram te bay lè li te moutre Balak sa pou l' te fè pou fè pitit Izrayèl yo tonbe nan peche, pou l' te fè yo manje viann bèt yo te ofri pou touye bay zidòl, pou l' te fè yo lage kò yo nan imoralite.
Nevertheless, I have a few things against you, that you have there, them who 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 fornication.
15 Konsa tou, ou gen kèk moun lakay ou k'ap swiv konsèy Nikolayit yo.
You, in like manner, have those that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which I hate.
16 Tounen vin jwenn Bondye non. Si ou pa fè sa, talè konsa m'ap vini, m'ap goumen ak moun sa yo ak nepe k'ap soti nan bouch mwen an.
Reform, or otherwise, I will come to you quickly, and I will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 Se pou moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo. Tout moun ki va goumen jouk yo genyen batay la, m'a ba yo laman ki kache a. M'ap ba yo chak yon ti wòch blan ak yon lòt non ekri sou li, yon non pesonn pa konnen esepte moun ki resevwa l' la.
Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations: To the conqueror I will give of the hidden mann; and I will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows except he who receives it.
18 Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Tiyati a. Di l' konsa: Men sa pitit Bondye a voye di ou, li menm ki gen je l' yo tankou de flanm dife, ak pie l' yo klere tankou kwiv poli.
And by the messenger of the congregation in Thyatira, write: These things says the Son of God, who has his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass:
19 Mwen konnen tou sa w'ap fè. Mwen konnen jan ou gen renmen nan kè ou, jan ou gen konfians, jan ou fè sèvis ou byen, ak jan ou gen anpil pasians. Mwen konnen tou w'ap travay koulye a pi plis pase anvan.
I know your works, and love, and service, and faith, and your patience, and that your last works are more than the first.
20 Men, men repwòch mwen gen pou m' fè ou: w'ap tolere fanm yo rele Jezabèl la k'ap pran pòz pwofèt Bondye li. L'ap detounen sèvitè m' yo, l'ap moutre yo pou yo lage kò yo nan imoralite, pou yo manje viann bèt yo te ofri pou touye bay zidòl.
Nevertheless, I have against you, that you permit that woman Jezabel, who says that she is a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
21 Mwen ba l' kont tan pou l' vire kite peche l' yo. Men, li pa vle kite imoralite li a.
And I have given her time to reform from her fornication, and she reforms not.
22 Se poutèt sa, mwen pral lage l' jete sou yon kabann kote li pral soufri anpil. Tout moun k'ap fè adiltè avè l' yo pral soufri anpil tou, si yo pa chanje, si yo pa kite move zak y'ap plede fè ansanm avè l' yo.
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, unless they reform from their works;
23 Apre sa, m'ap fè tout pitit li yo mouri. Konsa, tout legliz yo va konnen mwen se moun ki konnen tout lide lèzòm ap fè nan tèt yo ak tout santiman yo gen nan kè yo. M'ap bay chak moun sa yo merite dapre sa yo fè.
and I will say her children with death; and all the congregations shall know that I am he who search the reins and the heart; and I will give to every one of you according to your works.
24 Pou nou menm, lòt manm legliz nan lavil Tiyati yo ki pa swiv move konsèy sa yo, ki pa t' aprann sa bann moun sa yo ap rele gwo sekrè Satan an, men sa m'ap di nou: Mwen p'ap ban nou lòt chay pase sa.
But I say to you, even to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not hold this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will lay upon you no other burden.
25 Men, kenbe sa nou genyen an byen fèm jouk jou m'a tounen.
Nevertheless, what you have, hold fast till I come.
26 Tout moun ki va goumen jouk yo genyen batay la, epi ki va toujou ap fè sa m' vle yo fè a jouk sa kaba, m'a ba yo pouvwa sou tout nasyon,
And as for him that conquers, and keeps my works to the end, I will give him power over the nations:
27 menm jan Papa m' te ban m' pouvwa sa a tou. Y'a gouvènen nasyon yo ak yon baton fè, y'a kraze yo an miyèt moso tankou yon kannari yo kraze.
and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, they shall be dashed in pieces like a potter's vessel: as I have also received of my Father.
28 M'a ba yo bèl zetwal ki klere chak maten an tou.
And I will give him the morning star.
29 Se pou moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo.
Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
