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 in Ephesus write: ‘These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who walks among the seven golden lampstands:
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 yoʋr works, yoʋr labor, and yoʋr endurance. I know that yoʋ cannot tolerate those who are evil, and that yoʋ have tested those who declare themselves to be apostles but are not, and have found them to be false.
3 Nayebi malamu ete ozali na molende mpe oyokaki pasi makasi mpo na Kombo na Ngai, kasi olembaki te.
Yoʋ have persevered and endured hardships for the sake of my name, and have not grown weary.
4 Nzokande, ezali na likambo moko oyo Ngai nazali kopamela yo na tina na yango: obwaki bolingo na yo ya liboso.
But I have this against yoʋ: Yoʋ have left yoʋr 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.
Therefore, remember where yoʋ have fallen from; repent and do the works yoʋ did at first. If yoʋ do not repent, I will come to yoʋ quickly and remove yoʋr lampstand from its place.
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.
Yet yoʋ do have this: Yoʋ hate the works 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 who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give the right 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:
“To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘These are the words of the first and the last, who was dead and came to life:
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 yoʋr works, yoʋr tribulation, and yoʋr poverty—yet yoʋ are rich! I know the slander of those who declare themselves to be Jews and are not, but are a 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.
Do not be afraid of what yoʋ are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison so that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give yoʋ 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 who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. He who overcomes will certainly 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:
“To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ‘These are the words of him who has 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 yoʋr works and where yoʋ dwell, where Satan's throne is. Yet yoʋ hold fast to my name, and yoʋ did not deny my faith in the days when Antipas was my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
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 yoʋ: Yoʋ have some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel and to eat food sacrificed to idols and commit fornication.
15 Kati na Lingomba na yo, ozali mpe na bato oyo bakangama na mateya ya bato ya lingomba ya Nikola.
In the same way, yoʋ also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16 Boye, bongola motema na yo! Soki te, nakoya kala mingi te epai na yo mpe nakobundisa bango na mopanga ya monoko na Ngai.
Therefore repent. Otherwise, I will come to yoʋ quickly and make war 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 who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone, and on the stone will be written a new name that no one knows except the one who receives 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:
“To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like a flame of fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze:
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 yoʋr works, yoʋr love and faith, yoʋr service and endurance, and that yoʋr latter works are greater than the ones yoʋ did at 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.
But I have this against yoʋ: Yoʋ tolerate yoʋr wife Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess while teaching and seducing my servants to commit fornication and eat food sacrificed to idols.
21 Napesaki ye tango mpo ete abongola motema, kasi aboyi kaka kotika kindumba na ye.
I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her fornication.
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 throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent from her works.
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.
I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches minds and hearts, and I will give 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;
But to the rest of you who are in Thyatira, who do not hold to this teaching and have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan—to you I say: I place no further burden upon you.
25 kasi, oyo bozali na yango, bosimba yango makasi kino nakoya. ›
Only hold fast to what you have until I come.
26 Moto oyo akolonga, oyo akosala mokano na Ngai kino na suka, nakopesa ye bokonzi ya kokonza bikolo:
To him who overcomes and keeps my works to the end, I will give authority over the nations,
27 akokamba yango na lingenda ya ebende mpe akopanza yango na biteni lokola mbeki,
and he will rule them with a rod of iron; like earthen vessels they will be shattered, just as I have received authority from my Father.
28 ndenge Ngai mpe nazwaki bokonzi kowuta na Tata na Ngai. Nakopesa ye lisusu monzoto ya tongo.
I will also 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 who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’
