Mkpughe 2
1 “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.
To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamps:
2 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.
I know thy works and [thy] labour, and thine endurance, and that thou canst not bear evil [men]; and thou hast tried them who say that themselves [are] apostles and are not, and hast found them liars;
3 I jirila ntachiobi nagide nhụju anya nʼihi aha m, ma ike agwụghị gị.
and endurest, and hast borne for my name's sake, and hast not wearied:
4 Ma enwere m ihe ndị a megide gị. Ị hapụla ịhụnanya mbụ ahụ i nwere.
but I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
5 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.
Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works: but if not, I am coming to thee, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou shalt repent.
6 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.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
7 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.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God.
8 “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.
And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: These things says the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:
9 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.
I know thy tribulation and thy poverty; but thou art rich; and the railing of those who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but a synagogue of Satan.
10 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.
Fear nothing [of] what thou art about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of life.
11 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.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He that overcomes shall in no wise be injured of the second death.
12 “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.
And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword:
13 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.
I know where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan [is]; and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness [was], who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.
14 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.
But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat [of] idol sacrifices and commit fornication.
15 Nʼotu aka ahụ, i nwekwara ụfọdụ mmadụ ndị jidesiri nkuzi Nikolaitan ike.
So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner.
16 Ya mere, chegharịa! Ma ọ bụghị otu a, aga m abịakwute gị ọsịịsọ jiri mma agha dị m nʼọnụ buso ha agha.
Repent therefore: but if not, I come to thee quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.
17 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.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of the hidden manna; and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that receives [it].
18 “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.
And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, he that has his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass:
19 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.
I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thine endurance, and thy last works [to be] more than the first.
20 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.
But I have against thee that thou permittest the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself prophetess, and she teaches and leads astray my servants to commit fornication and eat of idol sacrifices.
21 Enyela m ya ohere ka o si na mmehie ya chegharịa, ma ọ jụrụ ichegharị site na ndụ ịkwa iko.
And I gave her time that she should repent, and she will not repent of her fornication.
22 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.
Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,
23 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.
and her children will I kill with death; and all the assemblies shall know that I am he that searches [the] reins and [the] hearts; and I will give to you each according to your works.
24 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,
But to you I say, the rest who [are] in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I do not cast upon you any other burden;
25 ma ọ bụghị, unu jidesienụ ihe unu nwere aka ike tutu ruo mgbe m ga-abịa.’
but what ye have hold fast till I shall come.
26 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.
And he that overcomes, and he that keeps unto the end my works, to him will I give authority over the nations,
27 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,
and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; as vessels of pottery are they broken in pieces, as I also have received from my Father;
28 a ga-enye onye nke meririnụ kpakpando ụtụtụ.
and I will give to him the morning star.
29 Onye ọbụla nwere ntị, ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ Nsọ na-agwa nzukọ niile.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
