Emoniseli 2
1 Komela anjelu ya Lingomba oyo ezali kati na Efeso: « Tala maloba ya Ye oyo asimbi minzoto sambo na loboko na Ye ya mobali mpe atambolaka kati na bitelemiselo sambo ya minda, oyo basala na wolo:
Unto 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 candlesticks;
2 Nayebi misala, pasi mpe molende na yo. Nayebi ete okoki te koyikela bato mabe mpiko; nayebi lisusu ete omekaki bato oyo balobaka ete bazali bantoma, nzokande bazali na bango bantoma te, mpe omonaki penza ete bazali bakosi.
I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
3 Nayebi malamu ete ozali na molende mpe oyokaki pasi makasi mpo na Kombo na Ngai, kasi olembaki te.
And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4 Nzokande, ezali na likambo moko oyo Ngai nazali kopamela yo na tina na yango: obwaki bolingo na yo ya liboso.
Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5 Kanisa malamu esika oyo ozalaki, liboso ete okweya! Bongola motema na yo mpe zongela misala na yo ya liboso; noki te, nakoya epai na yo mpe nakolongola etelemiselo na yo ya mwinda na esika na yango.
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
6 Kasi ezali na likambo moko oyo nasepelaka na yango epai na yo: olingaka te misala ya bato ya lingomba ya Nikola, oyo Ngai mpe nalingaka te.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Tika ete moto oyo azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka makambo oyo Molimo azali koloba na Mangomba! Moto oyo akolonga, nakopesa ye nzela ya kolia mbuma ya nzete ya bomoi, oyo ezali kati na Paradizo ya Nzambe. »
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto 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 Komela anjelu ya Lingomba oyo ezali kati na Simirne: « Tala maloba ya Ye oyo azali Ya liboso mpe Ya suka, Ye oyo akufaki mpe azali lisusu na bomoi:
And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
9 Nayebi minyoko mpe bobola na yo, nzokande ozali mozwi; nayebi ndenge nini bato oyo balobaka ete bazali Bayuda, kasi bazali na bango Bayuda te, batiolaka yo; bazali nde ndako ya mayangani ya Satana.
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.
10 Kobanga te pasi oyo osengeli komona. Tala, Satana akobwaka bato mingi kati na bino na boloko mpo na komeka bino mpe bokonyokwama mikolo zomi. Zala kaka sembo kati na kondima na yo kino na kufa, mpe Ngai nakopesa yo bomoi lokola motole ya elonga na yo.
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 unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11 Tika ete moto oyo azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka makambo oyo Molimo azali koloba na Mangomba! Moto oyo akolonga, kufa ya mibale ekosala ye pasi ata moke te. »
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
12 Komela anjelu ya Lingomba oyo ezali kati na Pergame: « Tala maloba ya Ye oyo asimbi mopanga bapelisa na bangambo nyonso mibale:
And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
13 Nayebi malamu esika oyo ovandaka. Ezali mpe kaka na esika yango nde Satana atie kiti na ye ya bokonzi. Okweyisaki te kondima na yo epai na Ngai, ezala na mikolo oyo babomaki Antipasi, motatoli na Ngai ya sembo, kati na engumba na bino epai wapi Satana avandaka.
I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan’s seat [is]: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas [was] my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
14 Nzokande, ezali na ndambo ya makambo oyo Ngai nazali kopamela yo na tina na yango: kati na yo, ezali na bato oyo bakangama na mateya ya Balami oyo ayebisaki Balaki ete atia motambo mpo na kotindika bana ya Isalaele kati na masumu ya kolia misuni ya banyama oyo ebonzami lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu, mpe kati na masumu ya kindumba.
But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
15 Kati na Lingomba na yo, ozali mpe na bato oyo bakangama na mateya ya bato ya lingomba ya Nikola.
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
16 Boye, bongola motema na yo! Soki te, nakoya kala mingi te epai na yo mpe nakobundisa bango na mopanga ya monoko na Ngai.
Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 Tika ete moto oyo azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka makambo oyo Molimo azali koloba na Mangomba! Moto oyo akolonga, nakopesa ye mana oyo ebombama; nakopesa ye lisusu libanga moko ya pembe oyo bakoma kombo moko ya sika na likolo na yango, kombo oyo eyebani kaka na moto oyo akozwa yango. »
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it.]
18 Komela anjelu ya Lingomba oyo ezali kati na Tiyatire: « Tala maloba ya Mwana na Nzambe, Ye oyo miso na Ye ezali lokola moto oyo ezali kopela makasi, mpe makolo na Ye, lokola bronze ya motuya:
And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass;
19 Nayebi misala, bolingo, kondima, etamboli mpe molende na yo; nayebi mpe ete misala oyo ozali kosala sik’oyo ezali ebele koleka oyo osalaki liboso.
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 Nzokande, ezali na likambo moko oyo Ngai nazali kopamela yo na tina na yango: opesaka na Jezabeli, mwasi oyo amibengaka mosakoli, nzela ya kopengwisa basali na Ngai na mateya na ye ya mabe, mpo na kotindika bango na kindumba mpe na kolia misuni ya banyama oyo ebonzami lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu.
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21 Napesaki ye tango mpo ete abongola motema, kasi aboyi kaka kotika kindumba na ye.
And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22 Boye, nakobwaka ye na mbeto ya pasi makasi elongo na bato oyo basalaka kindumba elongo na ye. Kasi soki babongoli mitema mpe batiki kotambola kolanda mateya ya Jezabeli, nakobwaka bango te na mbeto ya pasi makasi.
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 Nakoboma bana ya Jezabeli; bongo Mangomba nyonso ekondima ete Ngai nazali penza Ye oyo akundolaka mozindo ya mitema mpe ya milimo ya bato. Nakofuta moko na moko na bino kolanda etamboli na ye.
And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
24 Kasi epai na bino oyo, kati na Tiyatire, bokangami te na mateya wana ya lokuta mpe boboyi koyekola mabombami ya mozindo ya Satana, kolanda ndenge babengaka yango, nazali koloba: ‹ Nakomemisa bino te mokumba mosusu na makasi;
But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
25 kasi, oyo bozali na yango, bosimba yango makasi kino nakoya. ›
But that which ye have [already] hold fast till I come.
26 Moto oyo akolonga, oyo akosala mokano na Ngai kino na suka, nakopesa ye bokonzi ya kokonza bikolo:
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27 akokamba yango na lingenda ya ebende mpe akopanza yango na biteni lokola mbeki,
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 ndenge Ngai mpe nazwaki bokonzi kowuta na Tata na Ngai. Nakopesa ye lisusu monzoto ya tongo.
And I will give him the morning star.
29 Tika ete moto oyo azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka makambo oyo Molimo azali koloba na Mangomba! »
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
