Okuswelulwa 2
1 “Ku Malaika owa Likanisa Lya Efeso yandika: 'Jinu ni misango ja ulya unu agwatiliye jinjota jiliya musanju mu kubhoko kwaye okwebhulyo. Omwene unu kalibhata agati ya Jinomyo na jijaabhu eja jitala musanju kaika kutya,”
"To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: "He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:
2 “'Nimenyele chinu oukola no kukomela kwao ku milimu na kubhwigumilisha bhwalya mu chimali, na ati utakutula okwaikana nabho bhanu bhali bhabhibhi, na wabhalegejishe bhona bhanu abhebhilikila ati ni ntumwa Kasi tikutiyo, na abhabheelesha kubha bhalimi.
"I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.
3 Nimenyele uli no myoyo kwo okutendesha no kwigumilisha, na walabhile ku mafu kunsonga ya lisina lyani, na uchali kuigwa.
You have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary.
4 Mbe nawe gunu Nigwo nilinagwo mu bhutasikene nawe ati, wasigile elyenda lyao elyokwamba.
But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
5 Kulwejo nuwichuke anu waguye, ute no kukola ebhikolwa bhinu wakolele okusoka ku bhwambilo. Ukalema okuta, enikujako no okuisoshao inomyo yao anu ili.
Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.
6 Mbe nawe awe una linu ati, utamangenwe galiya ganu abhanikolai bhakolele, nolwo Anye one nitamangenwe nago.
But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Alabha uli no kutwi, tegelesha ganu Mwoyo kabhwila amakanisa. Na ku mwene unu kwiya ndimuyana echibhali cho jilya kwiti lyo bhuanga bhunu bhuli mu Paladiso ya Nyamuanga.'
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
8 Ku Malaika unu ali kwi Kanisa lya Smirna andika: 'jinu ni misango ja ulya unu ali bhwambilo no bhutelo unu aliga afuye na nabha muanga lindi:
"To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: "The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
9 “'Enijimenya jinyako jawo no bhutaka bhwawo (Mbe nawe awe uli munibhi), no lulimi lya bhalya bhanu abhetoga abhayaudi (Mbe nawe tibho- bhenene ni likofyanyisho lya Shetani).
"I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
10 Wasiga kubhaya jinyako jinu jilikubhona. Lola! Shetani Kenda okubhesa abhandi bhemwe mwibhoyelo koleleki nibhone okulegejibhwa, no omujonyaka kwa nsiku ekumi. Mbe mubhe bheikanyibhwa kukinga kufwa, ne enibhayana olutendo lwo bhuanga.
Do not be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 Alabha uli no kutwi, tegelesha ganu lwa kutyo Mwoyo kagabhwila amakanisa. Omwene unu kaiga atakubhona mauta go lufu lya kabhili.'
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death.
12 Ku malaika wa likanisa elya Pergamo yandika: jinu nijo kaika omwene unu ali na lipanga elyo bhugi, elya mogi gabhili.
"To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
13 “'Enimenya libhala linu wikaye - libhala linu anu chili echitebhe cho obhutungi bhwa Shetani. Nolwo kutyo awe ugwatile muno lisina lyani, utalilemele elikilisha lyao linu Lili kwanye, nolwo jinsiku jilya eja Antipasi omubhambasi wani, omwiikanyibhwa wani, unu etilwe agati-gati yemwe, ao niwo Shetani ekaye.
"I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas, my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
14 Mbe nawe nili ne misango mifui jitasikene nawe: uliyo na bhanu eyo bhanu bhagwatile ameigisho ga Balaamu, mwene unu amwiigisishe Balaki okutao ebhikujulo imbele ya bhana bha Israel, koleleki bhalye ebhilyo bhinu bhyasosibhwe ku bhiyana ebhye bhisusano no obhulomesi.
But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
15 Kwibhyo ebhyo, nolwo awe ulio na bhandi bhebhwe bhanu abhagwata ameigisho aga Bhanikolai.
So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.
16 Mbe nute! Alabha ukalema okukola kutyo, enija bhwangu, enijo okukola lilemo ingulu yao kwa lipanga linu elisoka mu Kanwa Kani.
Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 Alabha uli no kutwi, mbe nutegeleshe Mwoyo chinu kabhabhwila amakanisa. Unu kaiga, enimuyana emanu (emikate) inu ibhisilwe, one enimuyana libhui limwela linu lyandikilweko lisina liyaya ingulu ya libhui, lisina linu atali unu kalimenya atali omwene unu kalilamila.'
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.
18 “Ku Malaika wa likanisa elya Thiatila yandika: “Jinu nijo emisango no Mwana wa Nyamuanga, omwene unu ali na meso gaye uti ebhesi lya mulilo, ne bhigele kuti China chinu chikubhilwe muno:
"To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: "The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished bronze, says these things:
19 “'Enimenya chinu ukolele-elyenda lyao ne likilisha no bhufulubhendi no bhwigumilisha bhwao obhwe chimali, na ati chilya chinu wakolele ayei kutya ni kukila chinu wakolele mu bhwambilo.
"I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
20 Mbe nawe ninalyo linu ingulu yao: oumwigumilisha omugasi Yezebeli unu kebhilikila omwene -la ati omulagi mugasi. Ku meigisho gaye, nabhayabhya abhakosi bhani okulomela no kulya ebhilyo bhinu ebisosibhwa ebhiyanwa ku bhisusano.
But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
21 Namuyanile omwanya ogwo kuta, mbe nawe atakwenda kuta no kusiga obhubhibhi bhwaye.
I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
22 Mbe lola! enimwesa ku chitanda cho bhulwaye, na bhaliya bhanu abhakola obhusiani nage munyako nyafu, alabha jitali kutyo nibhate kuchinu akolele.
Look, I will throw her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
23 Enijo bhabhuma abhana bhaye bhafwe na Kanisa gone gamenye ati anye nanye unu katatilisha ameganilisho na inamba. Enimuyana bhuli umwi wemwe lwakutyo ebhikolwa bhyaye.
I will kill her children with Death, and all the churches will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
24 Mbe nawe ku bhandi bhemwe bhanu musagile mu Thiatila, ku bhaliya bhona bhanu mutakugwata eliigisho linu, na bhanu mutakumenya chilya chinu abhandi abhabhilikila obhumbise bhwa Shetani, enaika kwemwe, nitakubhatelako mujigo gwone gwone ingulu yemwe.'
But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who do not know what some call 'the deep things of Satan,' to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
25 Ku musango gwone gwone, ni bhusi-bhusi mubhe bhakomee kukinga anu ndijila.
Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
26 Wona wona unu kasiga no kukola chilya nakolele kukinga ku bhutelo, ku mwenene ndimuyana okutunga ingulu ya Maanga.
He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
27 'Alibhatunga kwa insimbo ye chuma, lwa jimbakuli eja mayalu, kabhata bhibhala bhalagi.'
He will rule them with an iron scepter, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:
28 Lwa kutyo nalamiye okusoka ku Lata wani, ndimuyana one ijota ya katondo.
and I will give him the morning star.
29 Alabha uli no kutwi, nuungwe chilya chinu Mwoyo kagabhwila amakanisa.'
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
