1 “एफिससको मण्डलीका दूतलाई लेखः ‘जसले आफ्नो दाहिने हातमा सातवटा तारा लिनुहुने र जो सातवटा सुनका सामदानहरूका माझमा हिँड्नुहुनेका वचनहरू यिनै हुन् ।
“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: 'The words of the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who walks among the seven golden lampstands,
2 तिमीले गरेका काम, तिम्रो कडा परिश्रम, तिम्रो धैर्य र सहनशिलता मलाई थाहा छ । तिमीले दुष्ट मानिसहरूलाई सहन सक्दैनौ । आफैँलाई प्रेरितहरू भनी दाबी गर्नेहरूलाई तिमीले जाँचिसकेका छौ, तर ती होइनन्, र तिमीले तिनीहरूलाई झुटा भेट्टाएका छौ ।
“I know what you have done and your hard labor and your patient endurance. I know that you cannot tolerate the evil people. I know that you have tested those who say they are apostles, but are not, and that you have found them to be false.
3 मलाई थाहा छ, कि तिमीमा धैर्य सहनशिलता छ, अनि मेरो नाउँको खातिर तिमीले धेरै दुःख भोगेका छौ र पनि थकित भएका छैनौ ।
I know you have patient endurance, and you have suffered much because of my name, and that you have not grown weary.
4 तर तिम्रो विरुद्धमा मसँग वास्तविक कुरा छः तिमीले आफ्नो पहिलो प्रेमलाई त्यागेका छौ ।
But I have against you the fact that you have left behind your first love.
5 यसकारण, तिमी कहाँबाट पतन भयौ सो सम्झ । तिमीले पहिले गरेका कामहरू गर र पश्चात्ताप गर । म तिमीकहाँ आउनेछु र तिमीले पश्चात्ताप नगरेसम्म म तिम्रो सामदानलाई त्यसको ठाउँबाट हटाइदिनेछु ।
Remember therefore from where you have fallen. Repent and do the things you did at first. Unless you repent, I will come to you and I will remove your lampstand from its place.
6 तर तिमीमा यो छ । निकोलाइटसहरूले गरेका कामलाई तिमीले घृणा गरेका छौ, जसलाई म पनि घृणा गर्छु ।
But you have this: You hate what the Nicolaitans have done, which I also hate.
7 मण्डलीहरूलाई आत्माले के भन्नुहुन्छ, जसको कान छ त्यसले सुनोस् । जसले जित्छ, त्यसलाई म जीवनको रुखबाट खाने अनुमति दिनेछु जुनचाहिँ परमेश्वरको स्वर्गलोक हो’ ।”
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.”'”
8 “स्मुर्नाको मण्डलीका दूतलाई लेखः ‘जो सुरु र अन्त्य हुनुहुन्छ यी वचनहरू उहाँका हुन्, जो मर्नुभएको थियो र जो फेरि जीवित हुनुभयो ।
“To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: 'The words of the one who is the first and the last, the one who was dead and who became alive again:
9 मलाई तिम्रा कष्टहरू र गरिबी थाहा छ, तर तिमी धनी छौ । अनि तिम्रो निन्दा गर्नेहरू जसले आफैलाई यहूदी हुँ भनी दाबी गर्छन्, तर तिनीहरू होइनन्, तिनीहरू त शैतानका सभाघर हुन् ।
“I know your sufferings and your poverty, but you are rich. I know the slander of those who say they are Jews, but they are not. They are a synagogue of Satan.
10 तिमीले भोग्नै लागेको कष्टको बारेमा नडराऊ । हेर! शैतानले तिमीहरूमध्ये केहीलाई जाँच्नको लागि झ्यालखानामा हाल्न आँटेको छ र दस दिनका निम्ति तिमीले कष्ट भोग्नेछौ । मृत्युसम्मै विश्वासयोग्य होऊ र म तिमीलाई जीवनको मुकुट दिनेछु ।
Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Look! The devil is about to throw some of you into prison so that you will be tested, and you will suffer for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 आत्माले मण्डलीहरूलाई के भन्दै हुनुहुन्छ, जसको कान छ त्यसले सुनोस् । विजय प्राप्त गर्नेलाई दोस्रो मृत्युद्वारा चोट पुर्याइनेछैन’ ।”
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.”'”
12 “पर्गाममको मण्डलीका दूतलाई लेखः ‘यो वचन दुई-धारे धारिलो तरवार साथमा हुनुहुनेको हो ।
“To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: 'The words of the one who has the sword with two sharp edges:
13 मलाई थाहा छ तिमी कहाँ बस्छौ, त्यहाँ शैतानको सिंहासन छ । तरै पनि तिमीले मेरो नाउँलाई दह्रो गरी पक्रिरखेका छौ । अनि शैतान बस्ने ठाउँमा मारिएका मेरा विश्वासयोग्य साक्षी एन्टिपासको समयमा पनि तिमीले ममाथि भएको विश्वासलाई इन्कार गरेनौ ।
“I know where you live, there where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold on tightly to my name. I know that you did not deny your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, there where Satan lives.
14 तर तिम्रो विरुद्धमा मसित केही कुरा छन्ः तिमीमध्ये कोही-कोहीले इस्राएलका छोराछोरीहरूले मूर्तिलाई बलिदान गरेको खानेकुरा खाऊन् र अनैतिक यौनमा लागून् भन्ने हेतुले ठेस लाग्ने ढुङ्गा ती छोराछोरीहरूको अगि फ्याँक्न लगाउने बालकलाई सिकाउने बालामको शिक्षालाई दह्रो गरी पक्रेका छन् ।
But I have a few things against you: You have there some who hold tightly to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and be sexually immoral.
15 त्यसै गरी, तिमीहरूमध्ये कोही-कोही निकोलाइटसका शिक्षाहरूलाई दह्रो गरी पक्रनेहरू पनि छन् ।
In the same way, you even have some who hold tightly to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16 त्यसैकारण, पश्चात्ताप गर! यदि पश्चात्ताप गरेनौ भने, म तिमीकहाँ चाँडै आउनेछु र तिम्रो विरुद्धमा मेरो मुखको तरवारले युद्ध गर्नेछु ।
Repent, therefore! If you do not, I will quickly come to you, and I will wage war against them with the sword in my mouth.
17 जसको कान छ, त्यसले सुनोस्, आत्माले मण्डलीहरूलाई के भन्दै हुनुहुन्छ । जसले जित्छ, उसलाई म लुकाइएको केही मन्न दिनेछु, र पत्थरमा एउटा नयाँ नाउँ लेखिएको सेतो पत्थर म उसलाई दिनेछु, तर त्यो नाउँ पाउनेले बाहेक अरू कसैले पनि जान्दैन’ ।”
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give a white stone with a new name written on the stone, a name which no one knows but the one who receives it.”'”
18 “थिआटीराको मण्डलीका दूतलाई लेखः ‘यी वचनहरू परमेश्वरका पुत्रका हुन्, जसका आँखा आगोको ज्वालाजस्ता र पाउ भट्टीमा टल्कने काँसाजस्ता छन् ।
“To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: 'These are the words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire and feet like polished bronze:
19 तिम्रो प्रेम, विश्वास, सेवा, तिम्रो धैर्यवान् सहनशिलता र तिमीले गरेका कामहरू मलाई थाहा छ । तिमीले अहिले जे गरेका छौ, त्यो पहिले गरेका कामहरूभन्दा बढी महत्त्वका छन् ।
“I know what you have done: your love and faith and service and your patient endurance. I know that what you have done recently is more than you did at first.
20 तर मसँग तिम्रो विरुद्धमा यो कुरा छः जसले आफैँलाई अगमवादिनी भन्ने स्त्री ईजेबेललाई तिमीले सहेका छौ । त्यसका शिक्षाद्वारा मेरा सेवकहरूलाई अनैतिक पाप गर्न र मूर्तिहरूलाई चढाएका खानेकुरा खान लगाउँछे ।
But I have this against you: You tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she deceives my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
21 मैले त्यसलाई पश्चात्ताप गर्ने समय दिएँ, तर त्यसले आफ्नो अनैतिक पापको पश्चात्ताप गर्ने इच्छा गरिन ।
I gave her time to repent, but she is not willing to repent of her immorality.
22 हेर! म त्यसलाई रोगी-ओछ्यानमा फालिदिनेछु, र त्यससँग व्यभिचार गर्नेहरूलाई त्यसले गरेको कामको निम्ति पश्चात्ताप नगरेसम्म ठुलो कष्टमा पार्नेछु ।
Look! I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great suffering, unless they repent of her deeds.
23 म त्यसका छोराछोरीहरूलाई रुढीले मारिदिनेछु, अनि म नै हुँ जसले विचार र हृदयहरूको खोजी गर्दछु भनी सबै मण्डलीले जान्नेछन् । म प्रत्येकलाई त्यसको कामअनुसारको प्रतिफल दिनेछु ।
I will strike her children dead, and all the churches will know that I am the one who searches thoughts and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
24 तर तिमीहरू थिआटीरामा बाँकी रहेकाहरू हरेक जसले यस शिक्षालाई पक्रदैन, र कतिपयले शैतानका गहिरा कुराहरू जान्दैन, तिमीहरूलाई म भन्दछु, कि तिमीहरूमाथि अरू कुनै भार बोकाउनेछैनँ ।
But to the rest of you in Thyatira, to everyone who does not hold this teaching, and does not know what some call the deep things of Satan—to you I say, 'I do not put any other burden on you.'
25 जस्तोसुकै समयमा पनि म नआउन्जेलसम्म तिमीले यसलाई दरिलोसँग पक्री राख ।
In any case, you must hold on tightly until I come.
26 जसले जित्छ र अन्त्यसम्म मैले गरेका काम जसले गर्छ, उसलाई म जाति-जातिहरूमाथि अधिकार दिनेछु ।
The one who conquers and who does what I have done until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
27 कुमालेका माटाका भाँडाहरूलाई उसले टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारेजस्तै उसले फलामको छडीले तिनीहरूमाथि शासन गर्नेछ ।
'He will rule them with an iron rod, like clay jars he will break them into pieces.'
28 मैले मेरा पिताबाट प्राप्त गरेजस्तै उसलाई म बिहानको तारा दिनेछु ।
Just as I have received from my Father, I will also give him the morning star.
29 जसको कान छ उसले सुनोस्, आत्माले मण्डलीहरूलाई के भन्दै हुनुहुन्छ’ ।”
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”'”
