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 of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden lampstands;
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 thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and that thou canst not bear them who are evil: and thou hast tried them who say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
3 Nimenyele uli no myoyo kwo okutendesha no kwigumilisha, na walabhile ku mafu kunsonga ya lisina lyani, na uchali kuigwa.
And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4 Mbe nawe gunu Nigwo nilinagwo mu bhutasikene nawe ati, wasigile elyenda lyao elyokwamba.
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy 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 which thou hast fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will remove thy lampstand out of its place, except thou repent.
6 Mbe nawe awe una linu ati, utamangenwe galiya ganu abhanikolai bhakolele, nolwo Anye one nitamangenwe nago.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds 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 that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of 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:
And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and is alive;
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 thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, ( but thou art rich ) and I know the blasphemy of them who say they are Jews, and are not, but are the 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.
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful to death, and I will give thee a 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 that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt 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.
And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he who hath the sharp sword with two edges;
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 thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s throne is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days in which Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
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 thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit acts of immorality.
15 Kwibhyo ebhyo, nolwo awe ulio na bhandi bhebhwe bhanu abhagwata ameigisho aga Bhanikolai.
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
16 Mbe nute! Alabha ukalema okukola kutyo, enija bhwangu, enijo okukola lilemo ingulu yao kwa lipanga linu elisoka mu Kanwa Kani.
Repent; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will fight 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 that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth except he that receiveth 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:
And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
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 thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be 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.
However I have a few things against thee, because thou allowest that woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit acts of immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
21 Namuyanile omwanya ogwo kuta, mbe nawe atakwenda kuta no kusiga obhubhibhi bhwaye.
And I gave her time to repent of her immorality; and she repented not.
22 Mbe lola! enimwesa ku chitanda cho bhulwaye, na bhaliya bhanu abhakola obhusiani nage munyako nyafu, alabha jitali kutyo nibhate kuchinu akolele.
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
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.
And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give to each one of you according to your works.
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, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you no other burden.
25 Ku musango gwone gwone, ni bhusi-bhusi mubhe bhakomee kukinga anu ndijila.
But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26 Wona wona unu kasiga no kukola chilya nakolele kukinga ku bhutelo, ku mwenene ndimuyana okutunga ingulu ya Maanga.
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works to the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27 'Alibhatunga kwa insimbo ye chuma, lwa jimbakuli eja mayalu, kabhata bhibhala bhalagi.'
And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I 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 that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
