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:
To the angel of the church which is at Ephesus write: These things saith he who holdeth all things, and the seven stars, in his right hand; he that walketh in the midst of the seven candlesticks of gold;
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 toil, and thy patience, and that thou canst not endure the wicked; and thou hast tried them who say they are legates, and are not; and thou hast found them liars.
3 Nayebi malamu ete ozali na molende mpe oyokaki pasi makasi mpo na Kombo na Ngai, kasi olembaki te.
And thou hast had patience, and hast borne the burden, on account of my name, 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.
Yet I have a charge against thee, on account of thy former love, which thou hast left.
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.
Therefore remember whence thou hast fallen; and repent, and do the former works: or if not, I will come to thee quickly, and I will remove thy candlestick from its 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 ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him who is victorious, will I give to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of my 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 to the angel of the church which is at Smyrna, write: These things saith the First and the Last, he who was dead, and liveth.
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 the affliction, and the poverty, (yet thou art rich; ) and the railing which is from them who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are of the congregation 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.
Be not terrified at any of the things thou art to suffer. For lo, the Accuser will throw some of you into custody, that ye may be tried; and there will be trouble to you ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give thee the 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 ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that is victorious, shall not be harmed by 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 at Pergamos, write: Thus saith he who hath the sharp two-edged sword;
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 the throne of Satan is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied the faith of me, in those days when my faithful witness, who was slain among you, was made a spectacle 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.
Yet I have a small charge against thee. Thou hast there them who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, that they might eat the sacrifices of idols, and might commit whoredom.
15 Kati na Lingomba na yo, ozali mpe na bato oyo bakangama na mateya ya bato ya lingomba ya Nikola.
So also thou hast them who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans. In like manner, repent thou.
16 Boye, bongola motema na yo! Soki te, nakoya kala mingi te epai na yo mpe nakobundisa bango na mopanga ya monoko na Ngai.
Or if not, I will come to thee quickly, and I will war upon 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 ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that is victorious, will I give to eat of the hidden manna; and I will give him a white counter, and upon the counter a new name written, which no one knoweth but 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 to the angel of the church at Thyatira, write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet 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 love, and faith, and service, and also thy patience; and that these thy latter works are more than the former.
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.
But I have a charge against thee, because thou sufferest thy woman Jezabel, who saith she is a prophetess, and teacheth, and seduceth my servants to whoredom, and to eating of the sacrifices of idols.
21 Napesaki ye tango mpo ete abongola motema, kasi aboyi kaka kotika kindumba na ye.
And I gave her a season for repentance, and she is not disposed to repent of her whoredom.
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 upon a bed, and them who commit adultery with her into great affliction, unless 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 her children will I slay with death: and all the churches shall know, that I am he who searcheth reins and hearts; and I will render to each 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;
And I say to you, to the rest that are in Thyatira, to all them who have not received this doctrine, the men who have not known the profound things of Satan, as they say; I lay no other burden upon you:
25 kasi, oyo bozali na yango, bosimba yango makasi kino nakoya. ›
but, what ye have, hold fast until I come.
26 Moto oyo akolonga, oyo akosala mokano na Ngai kino na suka, nakopesa ye bokonzi ya kokonza bikolo:
And to him that is victorious, and to him that observeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority, 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; and like vessels of pottery, shall they be broken: as I also have 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 ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
