Nng'ibhulo 2
1 Kuka malaika jwa likanisha lya ku Epesho nnjandishe. “Genego ni malobhe ga bhene bhaakamula ndondwa shabha munkono nnilo gwabho, na bhapita jimajima pakatipakati itengu ya kandili shabha ya shaabhu.
"To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: "He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:
2 Nishimanyi shinkutenda, nimumanyi kutumbilila kwenu nniengo na shinkuti kwiipililila. Nimumanyi kuti nkaakombola kumpililila mundu jwangali jwa mmbone, na kuti nshikwaalinganga bhene bhakwiishemanga kuti ashimitume, mbena nngabha, na mwaabhweninji kuti bhanami.
"I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.
3 Mmwe nnakwiipililila nipotekwa kwa ligongo lyangu nne, na mwangalepela.
You have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary.
4 Ikabheje gegano ni gungwete kwenu mmwe, nnaino nkaambinga malinga shimwambingaga bhukala.
But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
5 Nkumbushile punnepele. Ntendebhushe ntende shimwatendaga bhukala. Monaga nkaipete, shinyie shoya kandili jenu pa shitengu shakwe.
Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.
6 Ikabheje ngunakunnumbilila ga shindu shimo, inakunshima yaakutendanga Bhanikolai, malinga shiikunjima nne.”
But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 “Akwete makutu, bhai apilikane yaabheleketa Mbumu ku makanisha.” Shibhakombolanjebho shinaalekanje bhalyanganje iepo ya nkongo gwa gumi, uli mungunda gwa a Nnungu.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
8 Kuka malaika jwa likanisha lya ku Shimilina nnjandishe. “Gegano ni malobhe ga bhene bhali bha ntai na bha kumpelo, bhaawile nnaino ni bhakoto.
"To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: "The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
9 Nigamanyi ga shilaje shenu, nimumanyi kuti mmwe mmaalaga. Ikabheje mmwe ni tajili, nimumanyi shibhashite kuntokomayanga bhene bhakwiitembanga kuti Bhayaudi ikabheje nngabha, bhene bhanganyabho ni likundi lika Lishetani.
"I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
10 Nnajogope shindu shoshowe shipinga kumpoteka. Mpilikane, Lishetani shanninganje kwa kuntendanga mmananji munkumbi gwenunji ntabhwanje nnigelesha, na shimmnganje mmboteko kwa mobha likumi limo. Mwiishimilikanje nngulupai na nkali mpinjikwangaga kuwa, numbe nne shinimpanganje gumi, ibhe upo kwa kombola kwenunji.”
Do not be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 Akwete makutujo, bhai apilikane gaabheleketa Mbumu ku makanisha. Jwene shaakombolejo, akapotekwa na shiwo sha bhili.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death.
12 Kuka malaika jwa ku likanisha lya ku Peligamo nnjandishe. “Gegano ni malobhe gubhaabheleketa bhene bhakwete upanga gwa tema akuno na kukuno bhala.
"To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
13 Nikumanyi kunkutama, mmwe kunkutama ni kushitengu sha upalume shika Lishetani. Ikabheje mwangangana, na wala mwangaleka kungulupalila, nkali mobha ga a Antipashi, bhaakong'ondela bhangu bhaakulupalika, pubhabhulegwe munkumbi gwenunji kwene kulitama Lishetani.
"I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas, my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
14 Ikabheje ipali ishoko ingwete kungwenu mmwe, bhapalinji munkumbi gwenunji bhaakagulilanga majiganyo ga a Bhalaamu, bhaajigenye a Bhalaki bhaalongoyanje Ishilaeli bhatendanje yambi kwa kwaatendanga bhalyanganje yalya ishoshiwe mbepei kuyanamu na itendi ya labhalabha.
But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
15 Na nneyo peyo bhapalinji bhandunji munkumbi gwenunji bhaakagulilanga majiganyo ga Bhanikolai.
So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.
16 Bhai nnaino nnekanje yambi yenunji, nkalekanje shining'ishilanje shangupe kuukomana na bhene bhandunjibho na upanga gwankulungwa ukopoka nkang'wa jangu.”
Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 Monaga nkwetenje makutu, bhai, mpilikananje gaabheleketwa naka Mbumu ku makanisha. Jwene shaakombole jula shinimpe shalya shiishiywe shila. Shinimpe na liganga lyanawe lijandikwe lina lya ambi likamanyika na mundu jojowe ikabheje jwene apegwilwe jula.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.
18 Kuka malaika jwa ku likanisha lya ku Tiatila, nnjandishe. “Gwenego ni ntenga ukopoka kuka Mwana jwa a Nnungu, meyo gakwe mbuti lilamba lya moto, makotwa gakwe ganamelemeta mbuti liabha lyalikubhule.
"To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: "The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished bronze, says these things:
19 Niimanyi yowe inkutenda. Nikumanyi kupinga kwenu, kukulupalika kwenu, liengo lyenu na kuipililila kwenu. Nimumanyi kuti nnaino nnatenda indu yaigwinji kupunda imwatendaga bhukala.
"I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
20 Ikabheje ngwete lilobhe lya kummalanjila, mmwe nnakwaaleshelela bhakongwe a Jeshebheli, bhakwiishema bhayene ankulondola. Kwa majiganyo gabho bhanakwaapuganyanga bhatumishi bhangu, nkupinga bhatendanje ya labhalabha na kulya yalya ishoshiwe mbepei ku yanamu.
But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
21 Nne naapele malanga ga kwiipeta yambi yabho, ikabheje bhakaapinga kuleka ya labhalabha yabho.
I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
22 Kwa nneyo shinaagwishiye pa shinanda sha mboteko bhene bhakongwebho na bhowe bhagonilenje na bhenebho na bhalabhonji shibhapotekwanje kwa kaje. Shindende yenei nnainope ibhaga bhakaipetanje na indu ya nyata ibhatendilenje na bhene bhakongwebho.
Look, I will throw her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
23 Numbe shinaabhulaganje bhene bhakwaakagulanga bhene bhakongwebho, na makanisha gowe shibhamumanyanje kuti nne ngunatonela ya mmitima na ng'aniyo ya kila mundu. Shinimpe kila mundu malinga shatendile.”
I will kill her children with Death, and all the churches will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
24 Ikabheje mmananji nninginji ku Tiatila mwangakagulanga gene majiganyogo, na mwangaijiganyanga yene ishemwa injubhi ika Lishetani. Nguti mmanganya, ngantwikanga nshigo guna.
But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who do not know what some call 'the deep things of Satan,' to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
25 Ikabheje nkamulilanje ukoto shoshowe shimpatilenje mpaka pushimujepo.
Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
26 Shaakombole, na shaatende ingupinga nne mpaka kumpelo, shinimpe ukulungwa ku bhandunji bha ilambo ina.
He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
27 Shaabhalongoyanje na imbo ja shitale, na shaabhakaanyanje mbuti ikelelo ya lilongo, malinga nne shimboshele ukulungwa kopoka kwa Atati.
He will rule them with an iron scepter, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:
28 Jwene shaakombolejo, shinimpe lutondwa lwa nng'andu.
and I will give him the morning star.
29 Akwete makutujo, bhai, apilikane yaabheleketa Mbumu ku makanisha.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
