Isambulo 2
1 Kuso isithunywa sebandla leEfesu bhala uthi: Lezizinto uyazitsho lowo ophethe inkanyezi eziyisikhombisa esandleni sakhe sokunene, ohamba phakathi kweziqobane zezibane zegolide eziyisikhombisa,
Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Efeso jhandikayi: 'Agha ndo malobhi gha jhola jhaikamu ila matonda ghala saba mu kibhoko kya muene kya kuume. Muene jhaigenda mu finara fya dhahabu fya taa saba ijobha naha,”
2 uthi: Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, lomsebenzi wakho onzima, lokubekezela kwakho, lokuthi ungebamele ababi, lokuthi ubahlolile labo abazithi bangabaphostoli kodwa bengeyisibo, wasubathola bengabaqambimanga,
“Nimanyili kyaukhelili ni bidii jha jhobhi jha mbombo ni uvumilivu bhwa jhobhi thabiti, ni kwamba ghwibhwesya lepi kuhusiana nabhu bhabhajhele bhaovu, na ubhajaribu bhoha bhabhikikuta kujha mitume kumbe lepi, na bhabhonekene kujha bhadesi.
3 wasuthwala, ulokubekezela, wakhuthala ngenxa yebizo lami, kawudinwanga.
Nimanyili kujha ujhe ni subira ni uvumilivu, na ubhwesi ghamehele kwa ndabha jha lihina lya nene, na utondilepi bado.
4 Kodwa ngilokumelene lawe ukuthi udelile uthando lwakho lwakuqala.
Lakini ele ndo lyanijhe nalu dhidi jha jhobhi, ughulekili upendo ghwa jhobhi bhwa kubhwandelu.
5 Ngakho khumbula lapho owe khona, ubusuphenduka wenze imisebenzi yakuqala; uba kungenjalo, ngizakuza kuwe ngokuphangisa, ngizasusa isiqobane sesibane sakho endaweni yaso, uba ungaphenduki;
Kwa hiyo ukhombokayi pa ubinili, ukatubuajhi ni kubhomba matendo ghaubhombeghe kuh'omela kubhuandu. Ukabelayi kutubu, nibeta kuhida kwa bhebhe ni kukibhosya kinara kya jhobhi kuh'oma mahali pa kyene.
6 kanti ulalokhu ukuthi uyayizonda imisebenzi yamaNikolayitha, engiyizondayo lami.
Lakini bhebhe ujhe ni ele, ghwidada ghala ambagho Bhanikolai bhaghabhombili, ambagho hata ni ghadadili.
7 Lowo olendlebe kezwe lokho akutshoyo uMoya emabandleni. Onqobayo ngizamnika ukuthi adle okwesihlahla sempilo esiphakathi kweParadise likaNkulunkulu.
Kama ujhe ni mb'olokoto, pelekesiajhi ghala ambagho Roho akaghajobhela makanisa. Na jhaibeta kushinda nibeta kumpela kibali kya kulya kuhoma mu libehe lya uzima lyajhele mu Paradiso jha K'yara.'
8 Lakuso isithunywa sebandla leSemerna bhala uthi: Lezizinto utsho owokuqala lowokucina, owayefile njalo uyaphila:
“Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Smirna jhandikayi: 'Agha ndo malobhi gha jhola. ambajhe ndo mwanzo ni mwishu ambajhe afuili ni kujha hai kabhele:
9 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi lokuhlupheka lobuyanga bakho (kanti unothile) lenhlamba yalabo abathi bangamaJuda, kanti bengeyisiwo, kodwa belisinagoge likaSathane.
“Nimanyili malombosi ghako ni umaskini bhwa jhobhi (lakini bhebhe ndo tajiri), ni udesi bhwa bhala bhabhikikuta bhayahudi (lakini lepi - bhene ndo sinagogi lya syetani).
10 Ungesabi lutho lwalezozinto ozahlupheka ngazo; khangela udiyabhola uzaphosela abanye kini entolongweni, ukuze lilingwe; futhi lizakuba lenhlupheko insuku ezilitshumi. Bana ngothembekileyo kuze kube sekufeni, njalo ngizakunika umqhele wempilo.
Usitili malombosi ghaghibeta kukabha. Langayi! Ibilisi ilonda kubhatagha baadhi jha muenga muligereza ili mubhwesiajhi kujaribibhwa, na mwibeta kutesibhwa kwa magono kumi. Mujhelayi mwebhaaminifu hadi kufwa, na nibeta kubhapela taji jha uzima.
11 Olendlebe kezwe lokho akutshoyo uMoya emabandleni. Onqobayo kasoze alinyazwa yikufa kwesibili.
Kama ujhe ni mb'olokoto, pelekesiajhi Roho kyaakaghajobhela makanisa. Muene jha ibeta kushinda ibetalepi kukabha mauti gha pili.'
12 Lakuso isithunywa sebandla elisePergamo bhala uthi: Lezizinto utsho lowo olenkemba ebukhali inhlangothi zombili:
Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Pergamo jhandikayi: 'Agha ndo ghaijobha muene jhaajhe ni upanga obhu mkali, bhwabhujhe ni makali kubhele.
13 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, lalapho ohlala khona, lapho okukhona isihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane; njalo ugcinile ibizo lami, kawuphikanga ukholo lwami, ngitsho ensukwini zikaAntipasi, umfakazi wami othembekileyo, owabulawelwa phakathi kwenu, lapho uSathane ahlala khona;
“Nimanyili mahali paghwitama mahali pa kijhele kiti kya enzi kya shetani. Hata naha bhebhe ulikamuili sana lihina lya nene, na ghwajhibelili lepi imani jha jhobhi jhaijhele kwa nene hata magono ghala gha Antipasi shahidi ghwa nene, mwaminifu ghwa nene, jhaakhomibhu miongoni mwa jhomu, apu ndo syetani itama.
14 kodwa ngilezinto ezinlutshwana ezimelene lawe, ukuthi ulabo lapho ababambelela emfundisweni kaBalami, owafundisa uBalaki ukuphosa isikhubekiso phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, sokuthi badle okuhlatshelwe izithombe lokuthi baphinge.
Lakini nijheni mambo madebe dhidi jha bhebhe: ujhe nabhu okhu bhanu bhabhikamula mafundisu gha Balaamu, muene jhaamfundisi Balaki kubheka fikwazo palongolo jha bhene bha Israeli ili bhaliajhi fyakulya fya fipisibhu sadaka kwa masieto ni kuzini.
15 Ngokunjalo lawe ulabo ababambelela emfundisweni yamaNikolayitha, into engiyizondayo.
Mu hali ejhu hata bhebhe ujhe ni baadhi jha bhene bhikamula mafundisu gha Bhanikolai.
16 Phenduka; uba kungenjalo, ngizakuza kuwe ngokuphangisa, ngizakulwa ngimelene labo ngenkemba yomlomo wami.
Basi tubuajhi! Na ubelili kukheta naha, nihida manyata, na nibeta kukheta vita dhidi jha bhene kwa upanga bhwa bhwihomela mu kinywa kya nene.
17 Olendlebe kezwe lokho akutshoyo uMoya emabandleni. Onqobayo ngizamnika ukuthi adle okwemana efihliweyo, njalo ngizamnika ilitshe elimhlophe, laphezu kwelitshe ibizo elitsha elilotshiweyo, okungelamuntu olaziyo ngaphandle kolemukelayo.
Kama ujhe ni mb'olokoto, pelekesiajhi Roho kya ikabhajobhela makanisa. Muene jha ibeta kushinda nibeta kumpela baadhi jha jhela mana jhajhafighibhu, kabhele nibeta kumpela liganga libhalabhu lya litembibhu lihina lipya panani pa liganga, lihina ambalya ajhelepi jha alimanyili isipokujha muene jhaakalipokela.'
18 Lakuso isithunywa sebandla eliseTiyathira bhala uthi: Lezizinto itsho iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, elamehlo ayo anjengelangabi lomlilo, lenyawo zayo zifanana lethusi elikhazimulayo:
Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Thiatira jhandikayi: “Agha ndo malobhi gha mwana ghwa K'yara, muene jha ajhe ni mihu gha muene kama mwali ghwa muoto, ni jhayu kama shaba jhajhisugulibhu nasu:
19 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, lothando, lokukhonza, lokholo, lokubekezela kwakho, lemisebenzi yakho, ukuthi eyokucina minengi kuleyokuqala.
Nimanyili gha ubhombili - upendo bhwa jhobhi ni imani ni huduma ni uvumilivu bhwa jhobhi thabiti, ni kujha khela kya ukhetili naha karibuni ndo zaidi jha khela kya abhombili kubhuandu.
20 Kodwa ngilezinto ezinlutshwana ezimelene lawe, ukuthi uvumele owesifazana uJezebeli, ozibiza ngokuthi ungumprofethikazi, ukufundisa aduhise inceku zami, ukuthi ziphinge lokuthi zidle okuhlatshelwe izithombe.
Lakini nijhe ni e'le dhidi jha bhebhe: ukamvumilila n'dala Yezebeli jhaikikuta muene nabii n'dala. Kwa mafundisu gha muene, akabhapotosya bhatumishi bha nene kuzini ni kulya kyakulya kya kipisibhu sadaka kwa sanamu.
21 Futhi ngamnika ithuba lokuthi aphenduke ekufebeni kwakhe, njalo kaphendukanga.
Nampelili muda bhwa kutubu, lakini ajhelepi tayari kutubila uovu bhwa muene.
22 Khangela mina ngizamphosela embhedeni, labaphingayo laye ekuhluphekeni okukhulu, uba bengaphenduki emisebenzini yabo.
Langayi! Nibetakun'tagha mu kitanda kya maradhi, ni bhala bhabhibhomba uasherati naku mu malombosi makali, vinginevyo bhatubuajhi kwa kyabhakhetili.
23 Njalo ngizabulala abantwana bakhe ngokufa; lamabandla wonke azakwazi ukuthi nginguye ohlola izinso lezinhliziyo; futhi ngizalinika, ngulowo lalowo, ngokwemisebenzi yenu.
Nibeta kubhatobha bhana bhabhi bhafuajhi ni makanisa ghoha ghibetakumanya nene ndo nikaghalangilila mawazo ni tamaa. Nibeta kumpela khila mmonga bhinu kadri jha matendo gha muene.
24 Kodwa ngikhuluma lani labanye abaseTiyathira, bonke abangelayo le imfundiso, labangakwaziyo okujulileyo kukaSathane, njengokutsho kwabo: Kangiyikulethesa omunye umthwalo.
Lakini kwa baadhi jha muenga jhamubakili mu Thiatira, kwa bhala mwebhoha jha mkamuili lepi lifundisu e'le, na jha mumanyilepi khela ambakyo baadhi bhikuta mafumbo gha shetani, nijobha kwa muenga, 'Nibeta lepi kubheka kwa muenga n'sighu ghoghuoha ghola.'
25 Kodwa lokho elilakho kubambisiseni, ngize ngifike.
Kwa lijambo lyolyoha, lazima mujhelayi imara mpaka panibeta kuhida.
26 Lonqobayo logcina imisebenzi yami kuze kube sekupheleni, ngizamnika amandla phezu kwezizwe;
Jhejhioha jhaibeta kushinda ni kubhomba khela kya nibhomba I mpaka kumwisu, muene nibeta kumpela mamlaka panani pa mataifa.
27 njalo uzazibusa ngentonga yensimbi; zizaphahlazwa njengezimbiza zebumba; njengalokhu lami ngikwemukele kuBaba.
'Ibetakubhatawala kwa ndongo jha chuma, kama makaburi gha udongo, ibetakubhatenya fipandi.'
28 Futhi ngizamnika indonsakusa.
Kama kyanipokili kuhoma kwa Dadi jhangu, nibeta kumpela kabhele litondo lya lukhela.
29 Olendlebe kezwe lokho akutshoyo uMoya emabandleni.
Ukajhelayi ni mb'olokoto, pelekesiajhi khela ambakyo Roho akaghajobhela makanisa.'
