“Twerɛ krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtua Efeso asafo no ano, na ka kyerɛ no sɛ: Yei ne nsɛm a ɛfiri obi a ɔkura nsoromma nson wɔ ne nsa nifa mu a ɔnante wɔ sika nkaneadua nson no ntam no.
2 Ngiyazazi izenzo zakho lokusebenza kwakho nzima kanye lokubekezela kwakho. Ngiyakwazi ukuthi awungeke ubabekezelele abantu abaxhwalileyo lokuthi ubahlolile labo abathi bangabapostoli, kodwa bengayisibo, njalo wabafumana bengabalamanga.
Menim deɛ woayɛ. Menim nsi a wode ayɛ adwuma ne boasetɔ a wowɔ. Menim sɛ wonnye nnebɔneyɛfoɔ, na afei woasɔ wɔn a wɔka sɛ wɔyɛ asomafoɔ nanso wɔnnyɛ bi no ahwɛ, na woahunu sɛ wɔyɛ atorofoɔ.
3 Ubekezele waqinisela ebunzimeni ngenxa yebizo lami, kawaze wadinwa.
Wowɔ boasetɔ, na me enti, woahunu amane bebree, nanso wompaa aba.
4 Kodwa ngilale insolo ngawe: Usuludelile uthando lwakho obulalo kuqala.
Nanso, deɛ mewɔ tia wo ne sɛ, wonnɔ me, sɛdeɛ kan no na wodɔ me no.
5 Khumbula isiqongo owe kuso! Phenduka wenze izinto owawuzenza kuqala. Nxa ungaphenduki, ngizakuza kuwe, ngisuse uluthi lwakho lwesibane endaweni yalo.
Hunu ba a woaba fam no. Te wo ho firi bɔne ho na yɛ sɛdeɛ kane no na woyɛ no. Sɛ woantwe wo ho amfiri wo bɔne ho a, mɛba wo nkyɛn na mabɛyi wo kaneadua no afiri ne siberɛ.
6 Kodwa ulalokhu okuhle ngawe: Uyayizonda imikhuba yamaNikholayitha, engiyizondayo lami.
Nanso, deɛ ɛyɛ wɔ wo ho ne sɛ, wokyiri deɛ Nikolaifoɔ no yɛ no, na saa ara na me nso mekyiri.
7 Lowo olendlebe, akezwe okutshiwo nguMoya emabandleni. Lowo onqobayo ngizamnika ilungelo lokudla esihlahleni sokuphila esisepharadise kaNkulunkulu.”
Deɛ ɔwɔ aso no ntie deɛ Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo ahodoɔ no bi. Wɔn a wɔadi nkonim no, mɛma wɔn tumi na wɔadi nkwadua a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn paradise hɔ.
8 “Ingilosi yebandla laseSimina ilobele uthi: La ngamazwi akhe yena oyisiQalo lesiPhetho, owafayo wabuya wavuka.
“Twerɛ krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtua Smirna asafo no ano sɛ: Saa asɛm yi firi Ahyɛaseɛ ne Awieeɛ no nkyɛn. Deɛ ɔwuiɛ na ɔnyaneeɛ no.
9 Ngiyazazi inhlupheko zakho kanye lobuyanga bakho, kanti-ke unothile! Ngiyakwazi ukuhlambaza kwalabo abathi bangamaJuda bengayisiwo, kodwa beyisinagogu kaSathane.
Menim amane a wohunu maa Awurade na menim wʼahiasɛm nyinaa nso, nanso wowɔ agyapadeɛ wɔ ɔsoro. Menim nsɛm a wɔn a wɔse wɔyɛ Yudafoɔ nanso wɔnyɛ Yudafoɔ no ka tia wo. Wɔyɛ ɔbonsam apamfoɔ.
10 Ungazesabi inhlupheko esezizakwehlela. Ngiyakutshela ukuthi uSathane uzabeka abanye benu entolongweni ukuba alilinge njalo lizahlukuluzwa okwensuku ezilitshumi. Thembeka, lanxa kuselungeni lokufa, mina ngizakupha umqhele wokuphila.
Nsuro ɔhaw a ɛrebɛto wo no. Tie! Wɔde mo mu bi bɛto afiase na ɔbonsam nam so asɔ mo ahwɛ. Na mo haw bɛdi dadu. Sɛ owuo mu mpo a, gye me di na mɛma wo nkwa abotire.
11 Lowo olendlebe, akezwe okutshiwo nguMoya emabandleni. Lowo onqobayo kasoze alinyazwe lakancane yikufa kwesibili.”
Deɛ ɔwɔ aso no ntie deɛ Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo no. Wɔn a wɔdi nkonim no renwu owuprenu.
12 “Ingilosi yebandla lasePhegamami ilobele uthi: La ngamazwi akhe lowo ophethe insingo.
“Twerɛ krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔwɔ Pergamo asafo mu sɛ: Saa krataa yi firi deɛ ɔwɔ akofena anofanu a ɛyɛ nnam no nkyɛn.
13 Ngiyakwazi lapho ohlala khona, lapho uSathane alesihlalo sakhe. Ikanti wena uqhubeke uqotho ebizweni lami. Kawukuphikanga ukukholwa kwakho kimi, lasezinsukwini zika-Antiphasi, ufakazi wami othembekileyo, owabulawayo edolobheni lakini, lapho uSathane ahlala khona.
Menim sɛ faako a wote no, ɛhɔ na ɔbonsam ahennwa si. Wodi me nokorɛ; na ɛberɛ a wɔkumm Antipa a ɔyɛ ɔdanseni nokwafoɔ wɔ faako a ɔbonsam te no mpo, woampa me.
14 Kodwa-ke, kulezinto ezimbalwa engilensolo ngazo kuwe: Kulabantu khonapho ababambelele emfundisweni kaBhalamu, owafundisa uBhalaki ukuhugela abako-Israyeli ekwenzeni isono ngokudla ukudla okwakunikelwe ezithombeni kanye langokuxhwala kobufebe.
Nanso, nneɛma kakra a mewɔ tia wo ne sɛ, nnipa bi a wɔdi Bileam nkyerɛkyerɛakyi no ka wo ho wɔ hɔ. Saa Bileam no na ɔkyerɛɛ Balak maa ɔmaa Israelfoɔ dii abosom so nnuane, kyerɛɛ wɔn adwamammɔ, nam so ma wɔyɛɛ bɔne no.
15 Njalo ulabanye ababambelele emfundisweni yamaNikholayitha.
Saa ara nso na wowɔ nnipa bi ka wo ho a wɔdi Nikolaifoɔ nkyerɛkyerɛ akyi.
16 Ngakho-ke, phenduka! Hlezi ngize kuwe ngilwe labo ngenkemba yomlomo wami.
Twe wo ho firi wo bɔne ho. Anyɛ saa a, ɛrenkyɛre biara mɛba wo nkyɛn, na mede sekan a ɛfiri mʼanom no abɛko atia saa nnipa no.

Deɛ ɔwɔ aso no ntie deɛ Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo ahodoɔ no. Mo a moadi nkonim no, mɛma mo mana a ahinta no bi. Afei, mɛma wɔn mu biara ɛboɔ fitaa a wɔatwerɛ din foforɔ wɔ so a obiara nnim, gye onipa a wɔde bɛma no no.
18 “Ingilosi yebandla laseThiyathira ilobele uthi: La ngamazwi eNdodana kaNkulunkulu, emehlo ayo anjengomlilo ovuthayo lezinyawo zayo zinjengethusi elikhazimulayo.
“Twerɛ krataa kɔma ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔwɔ Tiatira asafo mu sɛ: Yei ne asɛm a ɛfiri Onyankopɔn Ba no a nʼani dɛre sɛ ogyaframa a ne nan ase hyerɛn sɛ ayowaa no nkyɛn.
19 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, uthando lokholo lwakho, kanye lokuthi khathesi ususenza okunengi kulakuqala.
Menim deɛ woyɛ. Menim wo dɔ, wo gyidie, wo som ne boasetɔ a wowɔ. Menim sɛ woreyɛ adwuma sene kane no.
20 Kodwa-ke, ngilale insolo ngawe: Uyambekezelela owesifazane lowana uJezebheli, ozibiza ngokuthi ngumphrofethikazi. Ngemfundiso yakhe udukisela izinceku zami ekuxhwaleni kobufebe lekudleni ukudla okunikelwe ezithombeni.
Nanso deɛ mewɔ tia wo ne sɛ, wogyee ɔbaa bi a ne din de Isabel, a ɔfrɛ ne ho, Onyankopɔn odiyifoɔ no too mu. Saa ɔbaa yi kyerɛkyerɛ, na ɔdi mʼasomafoɔ anim ma wɔbɔ adwaman di abosom aduane.
21 Ngimnike isikhathi ukuba aphenduke ekuxhwaleni kwakhe, kodwa kafuni.
Mama no ɛberɛ sɛ ɔnnu ne ho mfiri ne bɔne mu, nanso ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔsakyera firi nʼadwamammɔ mu.
22 Ngakho ngizamphosela phezu kombheda wokuhlupheka, njalo labo afeba labo ngizabenza bahlupheke kakhulu, ngaphandle kokuba baphenduke ezindleleni zakhe.
Ɛno enti, sɛ wɔansesa amfiri amumuyɛ a wɔne no yɛeɛ no mu a, mɛto no ahwe mpa so na ɔno ne wɔn a wɔsɛe awadeɛ no ahunu amane a ano yɛ den yie.
23 Abantwabakhe ngizabatshaya bafe. Ngakho-ke, amabandla wonke azakwazi ukuthi mina nginguye ohlola inhliziyo lezingqondo njalo ngizavuza omunye lomunye wenu ngemisebenzi yenu.
Afei, mɛkum nʼakyidifoɔ no, na asafo no nyinaa bɛhunu sɛ mene obi a mehunu nnipa adwene mu ne wɔn akɔnnɔ. Deɛ mo mu biara yɛeɛ no, mɛtua no so ka pɛpɛɛpɛ.
24 Manje-ke, ngithi kwabanye benu eThiyathira, kini elingabambelelanga emfundisweni yakhe njalo lingafundanga okuthiwa zimfihlo ezizikileyo zikaSathane, ‘Kangiyikulethesa omunye umthwalo,

Deɛ ɔwɔ aso no ntie deɛ Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo no.
