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,”
Τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Ἐφέσῳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ κρατῶν τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀστέρας ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ, ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἑπτὰ λυχνιῶν τῶν χρυσῶν·
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.
οἶδα τὰ ἔργα σου καὶ τὸν κόπον σου καὶ τὴν ὑπομονήν σου, καὶ ὅτι οὐ δύνῃ βαστάσαι κακούς, καὶ ἐπείρασας τοὺς λέγοντας ἑαυτοὺς ἀποστόλους εἶναι, καὶ οὐκ εἰσί, καὶ εὗρες αὐτοὺς ψευδεῖς·
3 Nimenyele uli no myoyo kwo okutendesha no kwigumilisha, na walabhile ku mafu kunsonga ya lisina lyani, na uchali kuigwa.
καὶ ὑπομονὴν ἔχεις, καὶ ἐβάστασας διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου, καὶ οὐ κεκοπίακας.
4 Mbe nawe gunu Nigwo nilinagwo mu bhutasikene nawe ati, wasigile elyenda lyao elyokwamba.
ἀλλὰ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ, ὅτι τὴν ἀγάπην σου τὴν πρώτην ἀφῆκας.
5 Kulwejo nuwichuke anu waguye, ute no kukola ebhikolwa bhinu wakolele okusoka ku bhwambilo. Ukalema okuta, enikujako no okuisoshao inomyo yao anu ili.
μνημόνευε οὖν πόθεν πέπτωκας, καὶ μετανόησον καὶ τὰ πρῶτα ἔργα ποίησον· εἰ δὲ μή, ἔρχομαί σοι ταχὺ καὶ κινήσω τὴν λυχνίαν σου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῆς, ἐὰν μὴ μετανοήσῃς.
6 Mbe nawe awe una linu ati, utamangenwe galiya ganu abhanikolai bhakolele, nolwo Anye one nitamangenwe nago.
ἀλλὰ τοῦτο ἔχεις, ὅτι μισεῖς τὰ ἔργα τῶν Νικολαϊτῶν, ἃ κἀγὼ μισῶ.
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.'
Ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ Πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. Τῷ νικῶντι δώσω αὐτῷ φαγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ ξύλου τῆς ζωῆς, ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ μου.
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:
Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Σμύρνῃ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος, ὃς ἐγένετο νεκρὸς καὶ ἔζησεν·
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).
οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα καὶ τὴν θλῖψιν καὶ τὴν πτωχείαν· ἀλλὰ πλούσιος εἶ· καὶ τὴν βλασφημίαν ἐκ τῶν λεγόντων Ἰουδαίους εἶναι ἑαυτούς, καὶ οὐκ εἰσίν, ἀλλὰ συναγωγὴ τοῦ σατανᾶ.
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.
μηδὲν φοβοῦ ἃ μέλλεις παθεῖν. ἰδοὺ [δὴ] μέλλει βαλεῖν ὁ διάβολος ἐξ ὑμῶν εἰς φυλακὴν ἵνα πειρασθῆτε, καὶ ἕξετε θλῖψιν ἡμέρας δέκα. γίνου πιστὸς ἄχρι θανάτου, καὶ δώσω σοι τὸν στέφανον τῆς ζωῆς.
11 Alabha uli no kutwi, tegelesha ganu lwa kutyo Mwoyo kagabhwila amakanisa. Omwene unu kaiga atakubhona mauta go lufu lya kabhili.'
Ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ Πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. Ὁ νικῶν οὐ μὴ ἀδικηθῇ ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου τοῦ δευτέρου.
12 Ku malaika wa likanisa elya Pergamo yandika: jinu nijo kaika omwene unu ali na lipanga elyo bhugi, elya mogi gabhili.
Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Περγάμῳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ ἔχων τὴν ῥομφαίαν τὴν δίστομον τὴν ὀξεῖαν·
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.
οἶδα τὰ ἔργα σου καὶ ποῦ κατοικεῖς· ὅπου ὁ θρόνος τοῦ σατανᾶ· καὶ κρατεῖς τὸ ὄνομά μου, καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσω τὴν πίστιν μου [καὶ] ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αἷς Ἀντίπας ὁ μάρτυς μου ὁ πιστός, ὃς ἀπεκτάνθη παρ᾽ ὑμῖν, ὅπου ὁ σατανᾶς κατοικεῖ.
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.
ἀλλὰ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὀλίγα, ὅτι ἔχεις ἐκεῖ κρατοῦντας τὴν διδαχὴν Βαλαάμ, ὃς ἐδίδαξε τὸν Βαλὰκ βαλεῖν σκάνδαλον ἐνώπιον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ φαγεῖν εἰδωλόθυτα καὶ πορνεῦσαι.
15 Kwibhyo ebhyo, nolwo awe ulio na bhandi bhebhwe bhanu abhagwata ameigisho aga Bhanikolai.
οὕτως ἔχεις καὶ σὺ κρατοῦντας τὴν διδαχὴν τῶν Νικολαϊτῶν ὁμοίως.
16 Mbe nute! Alabha ukalema okukola kutyo, enija bhwangu, enijo okukola lilemo ingulu yao kwa lipanga linu elisoka mu Kanwa Kani.
μετανόησον οὖν· εἰ δὲ μή, ἔρχομαί σοι ταχὺ καὶ πολεμήσω μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ τοῦ στόματός μου.
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.'
Ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ Πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. Τῷ νικῶντι δώσω αὐτῷ τοῦ μάννα τοῦ κεκρυμμένου, καὶ δώσω αὐτῷ ψῆφον λευκήν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ψῆφον ὄνομα καινὸν γεγραμμένον, ὃ οὐδεὶς οἶδεν εἰ μὴ ὁ λαμβάνων.
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:
Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Θυατείροις ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὁ ἔχων τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ ὡς φλόγα πυρός, καὶ οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ ὅμοιοι χαλκολιβάνῳ·
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.
οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην καὶ τὴν πίστιν καὶ τὴν διακονίαν καὶ τὴν ὑπομονήν σου, καὶ τὰ ἔργα σου τὰ ἔσχατα πλείονα τῶν πρώτων.
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.
ἀλλὰ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὀλίγα, ὅτι ἀφεῖς τὴν γυναῖκά σου Ἰεζάβελ, ἣ λέγει ἑαυτὴν προφῆτιν, καὶ διδάσκει καὶ πλανᾷ τοὺς ἐμοὺς δούλους πορνεῦσαι καὶ φαγεῖν εἰδωλόθυτα.
21 Namuyanile omwanya ogwo kuta, mbe nawe atakwenda kuta no kusiga obhubhibhi bhwaye.
καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτῇ χρόνον ἵνα μετανοήσῃ, καὶ οὐ θέλει μετανοῆσαι ἐκ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς.
22 Mbe lola! enimwesa ku chitanda cho bhulwaye, na bhaliya bhanu abhakola obhusiani nage munyako nyafu, alabha jitali kutyo nibhate kuchinu akolele.
ἰδοὺ βάλλω αὐτὴν εἰς κλίνην καὶ τοὺς μοιχεύοντας μετ᾽ αὐτῆς εἰς θλῖψιν μεγάλην, ἐὰν μὴ μετανοήσωσιν ἐκ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῆς,
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.
καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς ἀποκτενῶ ἐν θανάτῳ, καὶ γνώσονται πᾶσαι αἱ ἐκκλησίαι ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἐρευνῶν νεφροὺς καὶ καρδίας, καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα ὑμῶν.
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.'
ὑμῖν δὲ λέγω τοῖς λοιποῖς τοῖς ἐν Θυατείροις, ὅσοι οὐκ ἔχουσι τὴν διδαχὴν ταύτην, οἵτινες οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὰ βαθέα τοῦ σατανᾶ, ὡς λέγουσιν· οὐ βάλλω ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ἄλλο βάρος·
25 Ku musango gwone gwone, ni bhusi-bhusi mubhe bhakomee kukinga anu ndijila.
πλὴν ὃ ἔχετε κρατήσατε ἄχρις οὗ ἂν ἥξω.
26 Wona wona unu kasiga no kukola chilya nakolele kukinga ku bhutelo, ku mwenene ndimuyana okutunga ingulu ya Maanga.
Καὶ ὁ νικῶν καὶ ὁ τηρῶν ἄχρι τέλους τὰ ἔργα μου, δώσω αὐτῷ ἐξουσίαν ἐπὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν,
27 'Alibhatunga kwa insimbo ye chuma, lwa jimbakuli eja mayalu, kabhata bhibhala bhalagi.'
καὶ ποιμανεῖ αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ, ὡς τὰ σκεύη τὰ κεραμικὰ συντριβήσεται, ὡς κἀγὼ εἴληφα παρὰ τοῦ πατρός μου,
28 Lwa kutyo nalamiye okusoka ku Lata wani, ndimuyana one ijota ya katondo.
καὶ δώσω αὐτῷ τὸν ἀστέρα τὸν πρωϊνόν.
29 Alabha uli no kutwi, nuungwe chilya chinu Mwoyo kagabhwila amakanisa.'
Ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ Πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.
