< Whakakitenga 2 >
1 Tuhituhi atu ki te anahera o te hahi i Epeha; Ko nga kupu enei a te kaipupuri i nga whetu e whitu i tona matau, e haereere ana i waenganui o nga turanga rama koura e whitu;
Unto the messenger of the congregacion of Ephesus wryte: These thynges sayth he that holdeth the vii. starres in his right honde and walketh in the myddes of the vii. golden candlestyckes
2 Ka matau ahau ki au mahi, ki tou uaua, ki tou manawanui, e kore hoki koe e ata hanga ki te hunga kino: kua whakamatautauria hoki e koe te hunga e mea nei he apotoro ratou, a ehara, kua mau i a koe he hunga teka ratou:
I knowe thy workes and thy labour and thy pacience and howe thou cannest not forbeare the which are evyll: and examinedst them which saye they are Apostles and are not: and hast founde them lyars
3 I whakamanawanui koe, i mahi tonu, ahakoa pehia, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa, kahore hoki i hoha.
and dydest wasshe thy self. And hast pacience: and for my names sake hast labored and hast not faynted.
4 Otira he mea ano taku ki a koe, kua whakarerea e koe tou aroha tuatahi.
Neverthelesse I have sumwhat agaynst the for thou haste lefte thy fyrst love.
5 Na, kia mahara ki te wahi i taka iho ai koe, ripeneta, mahia hoki nga mahi o mua; ki te kahore, ka hohoro toku haere atu ki a koe, ka nekehia atu e ahau tou turanga rama i tona wahi, ki te kore koe e ripeneta.
Remember therfore from whence thou art fallen and repent and do the fyrst workes. Or elles I wyll come vnto the shortly and will remove thy candlestyke out of his place excepte thou repent.
6 Ko tenei ia tau na, e kino ana koe ki nga hanga a nga Nikoraiti, e kinongia nei hoki e ahau.
But this thou haste because thou hatest ye dedes of the Nicolaitans which dedes I also hate.
7 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi: Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ka hoatu e ahau mana e kai to te rakau o te ora, e tu ana i waenganui o te Paraiha o te Atua.
Lett him yt hath eares heare what ye sprete sayth vnto the congregacions. To him that overcometh will I geve to eate of the tree of lyfe which is in the myddes of ye paradice of god.
8 Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Hamurana; Ko nga kupu enei a te tuatahi, a te whakamutunga, i mate nei, a kua ora ano:
And vnto the angell of the congregacion of Smyrna wryte: These thynges sayth he that is fyrst and the laste which was deed and is alive.
9 Ka matau ahau ki tou tukinotanga, ki tou rawakoretanga; engari he whai rawa tonu koe; e matau ana ano ahau ki nga hahani a te hunga e mea nei he Hurai ratou, a ehara, engari ko te whakamenenga ratou a Hatana.
I knowe thy workes and tribulacion and poverte but thou art ryche: And I knowe the blaspemy of them whiche call them selves Iewes and are not: but are the congregacio of sathan.
10 Kaua e wehi ki nga mamae meake nei pa ki a koe; na, tera e maka etahi o koutou e te rewera ki te whare herehere, kia whakamatautauria ai koutou; a ka whakamamaetia koutou kotahi tekau nga ra. Kia pono koe a mate noa, a maku e hoatu ki a koe te k arauna o te ora.
Feare none of thoo thynges which thou shalt soffre. Beholde the devyll shall caste of you into preson to tempte you and ye shall have tribulacion. x. dayes. Be faythfull vnto the deeth and I will geve the a croune of lyfe.
11 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi; Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, e kore ia e he i te matenga tuarua.
Let him that hath ears heare what the sprete sayth to the congregacions: He that overcometh shall not be hurte of the seconde deeth.
12 Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Perekamu; Ko nga kupu enei a te kaimau i te hoari koi, i te mea matarua;
And to the messenger of the congregacion in Pergamos wryte: This sayth he which hath ye sharpe swearde with two edges.
13 Ka matau ahau ki te wahi e noho na koe, ko te wahi ia i te torona o Hatana: e mau ana hoki koe ki toku ingoa, kahore hoki koe i whakakahore ki toku whakapono, i nga ra i ara i taku kaiwhakaatu pono, i a Anatipa, i whakamatea nei i roto i a kouto u i te wahi e noho na a Hatana.
I knowe thy workes and where thow dwellest evyn where Sathans seat ys and thou kepest my name and hast not denyed my fayth. And in my dayes Antipas was a faythfull witnes of myne which was slayne amonge you where sathan dwelleth.
14 Tenei ia ETAHI MEA AKU KI A KOE, NO TE MEA KEI A KOE TE HUNGA E MAU ANA KI TE AKO A Paraama, nana nei i whakaako a Paraka ki te maka tutukitanga waewae ki te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira, i kai ai ratou i nga mea i patua ma te whakapakoko, i moe puku ai hoki.
But I have a fewe thynges agaynst the: yt thou hast there they that mayntayne the doctryne of Balam which taught in balake to put occasion of syn before the chylderne of Israhell that they shulde eate of meate dedicat vnto ydoles and to commyt fornicacion.
15 Kei a koe ano hoki te hunga e mau ana ki te ako a nga Nikoraiti, pera ano.
Even so hast thou them that mayntayne the doctryne of the Nicolaytans which thynge I hate.
16 No reira, ripeneta; na ki te kahore, ka hohoro toku haere atu ki a koe, a ka whawhaitia ratou e ahau ki te hoari a toku mangai.
But be converted or elles I will come vnto the shortly and will fyght agaynste the with thes wearde of my mouth
17 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi; Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ka hoatu e ahau te mana huna, ka hoatu ano e ahau ki a ia he kohatu ma, me te ingoa hou, he mea tuhituhi ki te kohatu, e kore n ei e matauria e tetahi, ko te tangata anake e whiwhi ana.
Lett him that hath eares heare what the sprete sayth vnto the congregacios: To him that overcommeth will I geve to eate manna that is hyd and will geve him a whyte stone and in the stone a newe name wrytten which no ma knoweth savinge he that receaveth it.
18 Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi o Taiataira; Ko nga kupu enei a te Tama a te Atua, ko ona kanohi nei me te mea he mura ahi, ona waewae rite tonu ki te parahi paiata;
And vnto the messenger of the congregacion of Theatira write: This sayth the sonne of god which hath his eyes lyke vnto a flame of fyre whose fete are like brasse:
19 E matau ana ahau ki au mahi, ki tou aroha, ki tau mahi minita, ki tou whakapono, ki tou manawanui, a nui atu au mahi o muri nei i nga mea o mua.
I knowe thy workes and thy love service and fayth and thy paciece and thy dedes which are mo at the last then at the fyrste.
20 Tenei ano ia etahi mea aku ki a koe, no te mea e tukua ana e koe taua wahine a Ietepere, e mea nei he poropiti ia; kei te whakaako, kei te kukume i aku pononga kia moepuku, kia kai ano hoki i nga mea e patua ana ma nga whakapakoko.
Notwitstondinge I have a feawe thynges agaynst the that thou sofferest that woman Iesabell which called her sylfe a prophetes to teache and to deceave my servauntes to make them commyt fornicacion and to eate meates offered vppe vnto ydoles.
21 A i hoatu e ahau ki a ia he taima e ripeneta ai ia; otira kahore ia e pai kia ripeneta i tana moepuku.
And I gave her space to repent of her fornicacion and she repented not.
22 Na, ka maka ia e ahau ki tetahi moenga, me te hunga e puremu ana ki a ia, ki roto ki te whiu taimaha, mehemea kahore ratou e ripeneta ki a ratou mahi.
Beholde I will caste her into a beed and them yt commyt fornicacion wt her into gret adversite excepte they tourne fro their deades.
23 Ka whakamatea hoki e ahau ana tamariki kia mate rawa; a ka matau nga hahi katoa ko ahau te kairapu i ta nga whatumanawa, i ta nga ngakau: ka rite hoki ki a koutou mahi taku e hoatu ai ki tenei, ki tenei o koutou.
And I will kyll her children with deeth. And all the congregacions shall knowe that I am he which searcheth ye reynes and hertes. And I will geve vnto evere one of you accordynge vnto youre workes.
24 Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, ki era atu hoki i Taiataira, ki te hunga kahore nei i a ratou tenei ako, kahore ano kia matau ki nga mea hohonu a Hatana, ki ta ratou e korero nei; E kore e whakawaha e ahau tetahi atu mea taimaha ki a koutou.
Vnto you I saye and vnto other of them of Thiatyra as many as have not this lerninge and which have not knowen the depnes of Satha (as they saye) I will put apo you none other burthe
25 Ko te mea ia i a koutou, puritia kia mau kia tae atu ra ano ahau.
but yt which ye have alreddy. Holde fast tyll I come
26 Na, ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ko te tangata hoki e puritia e ia aku mahi taea noatia te mutunga, maku e hoatu ki a ia he mana rangatira ki nga tauiwi:
and whosoever overcometh and kepeth my workes vnto the ende to hym will I geve power over nacios
27 He rino hoki te tokotoko e whakahaere tikanga ai ia mo ratou, ka pera i nga oko a te kaipokepoke paru, ka pakaru ririki; ka rite ki ta toku matua i homai ai ki ahau:
and he shall rule them with a rodde of yron: and as the vessels of a potter shall he breake them to shevers. Eve as I receaved of my father
28 A ka hoatu e ahau ki a ia te whetu o te ata.
eue so will I geve him ye mornynge starre.
29 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi.
Let him yt hath eares heare what the sprete sayth to the congregacions.
