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 church in Ephesus write: 'The words of the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who walks among the seven golden lampstands,
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 what you have done and your hard labor and your patient endurance. I know that you cannot tolerate the evil people. I know that you have tested those who say they are apostles, but are not, and that you have found them to be false.
3 I jirila ntachiobi nagide nhụju anya nʼihi aha m, ma ike agwụghị gị.
I know you have patient endurance, and you have suffered much because of my name, and that you have not grown weary.
4 Ma enwere m ihe ndị a megide gị. Ị hapụla ịhụnanya mbụ ahụ i nwere.
But I have against you the fact that you have left behind your 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 from where you have fallen. Repent and do the things you did at first. Unless you repent, I will come to you and I will remove your lampstand from its place.
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 you have this: You hate what the Nicolaitans have done, 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.
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give the right to eat from 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.
“To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: 'The words of the one who is the first and the last, the one who was dead and who became alive again:
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 your sufferings and your poverty, but you are rich. I know the slander of those who say they are Jews, but they are not. They are 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.
Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Look! The devil is about to throw some of you into prison so that you will be tested, and you will suffer for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you 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.
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by 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.
“To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: 'The words of the one who has the sword with two sharp edges:
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 you live, there where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold on tightly to my name. I know that you did not deny your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, there where Satan lives.
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 you: You have there some who hold tightly to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and be sexually immoral.
15 Nʼotu aka ahụ, i nwekwara ụfọdụ mmadụ ndị jidesiri nkuzi Nikolaitan ike.
In the same way, you even have some who hold tightly to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
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! If you do not, I will quickly come to you, and I will wage war against them with the sword in 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.
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give a white stone with a new name written on the stone, a name which no one knows but the one who 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.
“To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: 'These are the words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire and feet like polished bronze:
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 what you have done: your love and faith and service and your patient endurance. I know that what you have done recently is more than you did at 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 this against you: You tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she deceives my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
21 Enyela m ya ohere ka o si na mmehie ya chegharịa, ma ọ jụrụ ichegharị site na ndụ ịkwa iko.
I gave her time to repent, but she is not willing to repent of her immorality.
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.
Look! I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great suffering, unless they repent of her deeds.
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.
I will strike her children dead, and all the churches will know that I am the one who searches thoughts and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
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 the rest of you in Thyatira, to everyone who does not hold this teaching, and does not know what some call the deep things of Satan—to you I say, 'I do not put any other burden on you.'
25 ma ọ bụghị, unu jidesienụ ihe unu nwere aka ike tutu ruo mgbe m ga-abịa.’
In any case, you must hold on tightly until I 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.
The one who conquers and who does what I have done until the end, to him I will 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,
'He will rule them with an iron rod, like clay jars he will break them into pieces.'
28 a ga-enye onye nke meririnụ kpakpando ụtụtụ.
Just as I have received from my Father, I will also give him the morning star.
29 Onye ọbụla nwere ntị, ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ Nsọ na-agwa nzukọ niile.
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”'”
