Okubikkulirwa 2
1 “Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Efeso wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo akwata emmunyeenye omusanvu mu ngalo ze mu mukono gwe ogwa ddyo, oyo atambulira wakati w’ebikondo by’ettaala omusanvu ebya zaabu.
To the angel of the church in Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, he that walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:
2 Nti mmanyi ebikolwa byo n’okugumiikiriza kwo, era nga tosobola kugumiikiriza bakozi ba bibi era ng’ogezesezza abo abeeyita abatume n’obavumbula nga balimba.
I know thy works, and thy toil and patience, and that thou canst not bear evil men, and didst try them which call themselves apostles, and they are not, and didst find them false;
3 Era ogumiikirizza okubonaabona n’oguma olw’erinnya lyange, n’otokoowa.
and thou hast patience and didst bear for my name’s sake, and hast not grown weary.
4 Naye nnina ensonga gye nkuvunaana: tokyanjagala nga bwe wanjagalanga edda.
But I have [this] against thee, that thou didst leave thy first love.
5 Noolwekyo jjukira we waseeseetuka. Weenenye, onjagale nga bwe wanjagalanga edda. Naye bw’otookole bw’otyo ndijja gy’oli ne nzigyawo ekikondo ky’ettaala yo mu kifo kyakyo, okuggyako nga weenenya.
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou repent.
6 Wabula ekirungi ekikuliko kye kino: okyawa ebikolwa by’Abanikolayitinga nange bwe mbikyawa.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Alina amatu, awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo. Oyo awangula ndimuwa okulya ku muti ogw’obulamu oguli mu nnimiro ya Katonda.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
8 “Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Sumuna wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera Owoolubereberye era Owenkomerero eyali afudde oluvannyuma n’azuukira n’aba mulamu,
And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and lived [again]:
9 nti mmanyi okubonaabona kwo n’obwavu bwo, naye ng’oli mugagga, era n’okulimirira kw’abo abeeyita Abayudaaya songa ssi Bayudaaya, wabula kuŋŋaaniro lya Setaani.
I know thy tribulation, and thy poverty (but thou art rich), and the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
10 Temutya n’akatono ebyo bye mugenda okubonaabona. Laba Setaani anaatera okusiba abamu ku mmwe mu makomera okubagezesa. Muliyigganyizibwa okumala ennaku kumi ddamba. Mubeere beesigwa okutuusa okufa, nange ndibawa engule ey’obulamu.
Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to 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 the crown of life.
11 Alina amatu, awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo. Oyo awangula talifa mulundi gwakubiri.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
12 “Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’e Perugamo wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo alina ekitala ekyogi eky’obwogi obubiri
And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write; These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword:
13 nti, Mmanyi gy’obeera awo awali entebe y’obwakabaka bwa Setaani, kyokka ng’onywezezza erinnya lyange era wasigala n’okukkiriza kwo, ne mu biseera Antipa omujulirwa wange omwesigwa mwe yattirwa wakati mu mmwe, eyo Setaani gy’abeera.
I know where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan’s throne is: and thou holdest fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwelleth.
14 Naye nkulinako ensonga ntono: eyo olinayo ab’enjigiriza eya Balamu eyayigiriza Balaki okutega abaana ba Isirayiri omutego n’abaliisa ennyama ey’omuzizo eyassaddaakirwa eri bakatonda abalala, era n’okwenda.
But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there some that hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.
15 Ate era olinayo n’abakkiririza mu njigiriza y’Abanikolayiti.
So hast thou also some that hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans in like manner.
16 Noolwekyo weenenye, bw’otookikole ndijja mangu ne nnwanyisa abantu abo n’ekitala eky’omu kamwa kange.
Repent therefore; or else I come to thee quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 Alina amatu, awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo. Oyo awangula ndimuwa ku maanu eyakwekebwa. Era ndimuwa ejjinja eryeru eriwandiikiddwako erinnya eriggya eritamanyiddwa muntu mulala yenna wabula oyo aliweereddwa.”
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it.
18 “Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Suwatira wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera Omwana wa Katonda, oyo alina amaaso agali ng’ennimi ez’omuliro, n’ebigere ebimasamasa ng’ekikomo ekizigule
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 unto burnished brass:
19 nti, Mmanyi ebikolwa byo, n’okwagala kwo, n’okukkiriza kwo, n’obutuukirivu bwo, n’okugumiikiriza kwo, era n’ebikolwa byo eby’oluvannyuma bisinga ebyasooka.
I know thy works, and thy love and faith and ministry and patience, and that thy last works are more than the first.
20 Kyokka nkulinako ensonga eno. Ogumiikiriza omukazi Yezeberi eyeeyita nnabbi omukazi akyamya abaweereza bange ng’abayigiriza obwenzi n’okulya emmere eweereddwayo eri bakatonda abalala.
But I have [this] against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess; and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
21 Namuwa ekiseera yeenenye, kyokka tayagala kwenenya bwenzi bwe.
And I gave her time that she should repent; and she willeth not to repent of her fornication.
22 Laba, ndimulwaza obulwadde obulimusuula ku ndiri, era n’abo baayenda nabo mbatuuse ku bulumi obw’amaanyi, okuggyako nga beenenyezza ebikolwa byabwe.
Behold, I do cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of her works.
23 Era nditta abaana be. Olwo Ekkanisa zonna ziryoke zitegeere nti nkebera emitima n’ebirowoozo era ndibasasula ng’ebikolwa byabwe bwe biri.
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 each one of you according to your works.
24 Kale mmwe abalala abali mu Suwatira abatagoberera kuyigiriza kuno abatamanyi bintu bya Setaani eby’obuziba ng’enjogera bw’egamba, sigenda kubassaako mugugu mulala.
But to you I say, to the rest that are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, which know not the deep things of Satan, as they say; I cast upon you none other burden.
25 Wabula munyweze nnyo kye mulina okutuusa lwe ndijja.
Howbeit that which ye have, hold fast till I come.
26 Oyo aliwangula era n’oyo alisigala ng’akola emirimu gyange okutuusa ku nkomerero, ndimuwa obuyinza okufuga amawanga.
And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority over the nations:
27 ‘Alibafuga n’omuggo ogw’ekyuma, n’abayasaayasa ng’ayasaayasa ebibya eby’ebbumba.’
and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to shivers; as I also have received of my Father:
28 Era ndimuwa emmunyeenye ey’enkya nga nange bwe nagiweebwa Kitange.
and I will give him the morning star.
29 Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
