1 “Ergamaa Waaqaa kan waldaa kiristaanaa Efesoonittiakkana jedhii barreessi: Inni urjiiwwan torba harka isaa mirgaatti qabatee baattuuwwan ibsaa kanneen warqee irraa hojjetaman gidduu deddeebiʼu sun akkana jedha.
To the angel who is in the church at Ephesus write; The one holding the seven stars in his right hand, the one walking about in the midst of the golden candlesticks, says these things;
2 Ani hojii kee, dadhabbii keetii fi obsaan dhaabachuu kee beeka. Akka ati calʼiftee namoota hamoo hin dhiifne, warra utuu ergamoota hin taʼin ergamoota ofiin jedhan qortee akka isaan sobduu taʼan mirkaneessites nan beeka.
I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and that you are not able to bear the wicked; and you have tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them to be liars:
3 Ati maqaa kootiif jettee obsaan dhaabatteerta; rakkina obsiteerta; hin dadhabnes.
and you have patience and have borne with them for my name's sake, and have not fainted.
4 Taʼus jaalala kee isa jalqabaa dhiisuu keetiif ani waan sirraa jibbu xinnoo qaba.
But I have something against you, because you have left your first love.
5 Kanaaf ati maal irraa akka kufte yaadadhu! Qalbii jijjiirradhuutii hojii kee kan duraa sana hojjedhu. Yoo ati qalbii jijjiirrachuu baatte immoo ani sittin dhufa; baattuu ibsaa keetiis iddoo isaatii nan fuudha.
Remember therefore whence you have fallen, and repent, and do your first works; lest I come to you, and shall move your candlestick out of its place, if you do not repent.
6 Garuu waan gaarii tokko qabda: Hojii Niqolaawotaa kan ani jibbu sana atis ni jibbita.
But you have this, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Namni gurra qabu waan Hafuurri waldoota kiristaanaatiin jedhu haa dhagaʼu. Nama moʼatu akka inni muka jireenyaa kan jannata Waaqaa keessa jiru irraa nyaatuuf mirga nan kennaaf.
Let the one having ears, hear what the Spirit says to the churches; to him who conquers I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
8 “Ergamaa Waaqaa kan waldaa kiristaanaa Samirnaattiakkana jedhii barreessi: Inni Jalqabaatii fi inni Dhumaa, inni duʼee turee fi amma immoo jiraataa taʼe sun akkana jedha.
And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write; The first and the last, who was dead, and is alive, says these things:
9 Ani rakkinaa fi hiyyummaa kee beeka; taʼus ati sooressa! Arrabsoo warra utuu Yihuudoota hin taʼin Yihuudoota ofiin jedhan sanaas nan beeka; isaan garuu waldaa Seexanaa ti.
I know your tribulations, and your poverty, but you are rich; and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10 Dhiphina sirra gaʼuuf jiru hin sodaatin. Kunoo, akka qoramtaniif diiyaabiloos isin keessaa namoota tokko tokko mana hidhaatti ni galcha. Guyyaa kudhanis ni dhiphattu. Ati hamma duʼaatti amanamaa taʼi; ani gonfoo jireenyaa siifin kennaatii.
Fear not those things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you a crown of life.
11 Namni gurra qabu waan Hafuurri waldoota kiristaanaatiin jedhu haa dhagaʼu. Namni moʼatu duʼa lammaffaan hin miidhamu.
Let the one having ears, hear what the Spirit says to the churches; The one conquering can never be hurt by the second death.
12 “Ergamaa Waaqaa kan waldaa kiristaanaa Phergaamoonittiakkana jedhii barreessi: Inni goraadee qaramaa afaan lamaa qabu sun akkana jedha.
To the angel of the church in Pergamum write; The one having the sharp, two-edged sword says these things;
13 Ani iddoo ati jiraattu beeka; innis iddoo teessoon Seexanaa jiruu dha. Taʼus ati maqaa koo jabeessitee qabatteerta. Bara Antiiphaas dhuga baatuun koo amanamaan magaalaa keessan keessatti iddoo Seexanni jiraatutti ajjeefame illee ati amantii narratti qabdu hin dhiifne.
I know where you dwell, where the throne of Satan is: and you are holding fast my name, and did not deny my faith, in the days when Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.
14 Haa taʼuu malee sababii ati namoota barsiisa Balaʼaamduukaa buʼan achii qabduuf ani waan sirraa jibbu xinnoo qaba; namni akka inni saba Israaʼel dura gufuu kaaʼee akka isaan nyaata waaqota tolfamoof aarsaa dhiʼeeffame nyaatanii fi akka isaan halalummaadhaan jiraatan godhuuf jedhee Baalaaqin barsiise Balaʼaam tureetii.
But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there those holding the teachings of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the sons of Israel, and to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.
15 Akkasumas namoota barsiisa Niqolaawotaa duukaa buʼan tokko tokko of biraa qabda.
So you also have those in a similar manner holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16 Kanaafuu qalbii jijjiirradhu! Yoo kanaa achii ani dafeen sitti dhufa; goraadee afaan kootiitiinis jara sana nan lola.
Repent; otherwise I am coming to you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 Namni gurra qabu waan Hafuurri waldoota kiristaanaatiin jedhu haa dhagaʼu. Nama moʼatuuf mannaa dhokfame irraa nan kenna. Akkasumas dhagaa adii maqaan haaraan irratti barreeffame tokko nan kennaaf; maqaa sanas namicha isa fudhatu sana malee namni tokko iyyuu hin beeku.
Let the one having ears hear what the Spirit says to the churches; unto the one conquering will I give to him of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone my new name having been written, which no one knows but the one receiving it.
18 “Ergamaa Waaqaa kan Waaqaa kan waldaa Kiristaanaa Tiyaatiraattiakkana jedhii barreessi: Ilmi Waaqaa inni iji isaa arraba ibiddaa fakkaatu, kan miilli isaa immoo naasii baqfamee qulqulleeffame fakkaatu sun akkana jedha.
And to the angel of the church among the Thyatireans write; The Son of God, the one having eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like burnished brass, says these things;
19 Ani hojii kee, jaalalaa fi amantii kee, tajaajilaa fi obsaan dhaabachuu kee beeka; akkasumas akka hojiin kee inni ammaa kun isa duraa caalu nan beeka.
I know your works, and your divine love, and faith, and ministry, and patience, and your works: the last more than the first.
20 Haa taʼuu malee sababii ati dubartittii raajii ofiin jettu Iizaabelin calʼiftee ilaaltuuf ani waan sirraa jibbu xinnoo qaba. Isheenis barsiisa isheetiin tajaajiltoota koo gowwoomsitee akka isaan halalummaa hojjetanii fi akka isaan nyaata waaqota tolfamoof aarsaa dhiʼeeffame nyaatan gooti.
But I have it against you, that you suffer the woman Jezebel, who says herself to be a prophet, and teaches and deceives my servants to commit fornication, and to cat things sacrificed to idols.
21 Ani akka isheen halalummaa ishee irraa qalbii jijjiirrattuuf yeroo kenneefiin ture; isheen garuu ni didde.
And I gave her time that she might repent, and she does not wish to repent of her fornication.
22 Kanaafuu ani siree dhiphinaa irratti ishee nan gata; warra ishee wajjin ejjanis yoo isaan karaa ishee irraa qalbii jijjiirrachuu baatan rakkina guddaa keessa isaan nan buusa.
Behold, I cast her on a bed, and those who commit fornication along with her into great tribulation, until they shall repent of her works.
23 Ijoollee ishee immoo dhaʼichaan nan ajjeesa. Waldoonni kiristaanaa hundinuus akka ani kalee fi onnee qoru ni beeku; anis tokkoo tokkoo keessaniif akkuma hojii keessaniitti gatii keessan isinii nan kenna.
And I will slay her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am the one searching the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you each according to your works.
24 Isin warra Tiyaatiraa keessa jiraattan kanneen barsiisa ishee duukaa hin buʼinii fi warra barsiisa Seexanaa kan dhoksaa gad fagoo jedhamu sana hin baratiniin akkana nan jedha; ‘Ani baʼaa biraa isinitti hin feʼu;
But I say to you, the rest who are among the Thyatireans, so many as have not this teaching, whosoever have not known the depth of Satan, as they say; I cast upon you no other burden.
25 isin garuu hamma ani dhufutti waan qabdan sana jabeessaa qabadhaa.’
Moreover hold fast that which you have, until I shall come.
26 Ani nama moʼatuuf, kan hamma dhumaattis fedhii koo guutuuf saboota irratti taayitaa nan kenna.
And the one conquering and holding my works until the end, I will give unto him authority over the nations:
27 ‘Inni bokkuu sibiilaatiin isaan bulcha; akkuma qodaa supheettisisaan hurreessa;’ kunis akkuma ani itti Abbaa koo biraa taayitaa argadhe sanaan.
and he will shepherdize them with an iron rod: as the potter's vessels are broken to pieces; as I have received of my Father:
28 Ani immoo bakkalcha barii nan kennaaf.
and I will give unto him the morning star.
29 Namni gurra qabu waan Hafuurri waldoota kiristaanaatiin jedhu haa dhagaʼu.
Let the one having ears, hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
