< Kuyubulula 2 >
1 Ku mutangunishi wa mubungano wa ku Efenso komulembeleti, “Uwu ni mulumbe ulafumunga kuli uyo wekata nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili mu cikasa cakendi ca kululyo, ukute kwenda pakubika malampi pa golide pasanu ne pabili.
To the angel (of the *NK(o)*) (in *no*) (Ephesus *N(k)O*) church do write: These things says the [One] holding the seven stars in the right hand of Him, who is walking in [the] midst of the seven lampstands golden;
2 Ndibinshi mbyowensako, incito shakobe, kayi wapitanga mu mapensho nkokutebwelela kunyuma. Ndicisheti nkowela kwendela pamo ne muntu waipa. Bantu nabambi balalituntungeti ni batumwa, ulabelekeshenga ne kucaneti ni bandemishibili.
I know the works of you and the labor (of you *k*) and the endurance of you and that not you are able to tolerate evil [ones] And (you have tested *N(k)O*) those (saying *N(k)O*) (themselves *no*) (to be *k*) apostles and not are, and you have found them false.
3 Wekalikana cali, ulapengelenga ame nsombi nkolabwelelenga kunyuma sobwe.
and perseverance you have and endured (and *k*) for the sake of the name of Me (have laboured *K*) and not (have grown weary. *NK(o)*)
4 Nomba nikukabeco, ndakucana ne mulandu wakwambeti, nkonsunipo mbuli ncowalikunsuna pakutanguna.
But I have against you that the love of you first you have abandoned.
5 Anuka mushinga ngowalawa, shiya bwipishi kayi utatike kwinsa caina ncowalikwinsa pakutanguna. Na ubule kushiya bwipishi, ndakesanga kusa kufunyapo pakubika lampi pakobe.
do remember therefore from where (you have fallen, *N(k)O*) and do repent and the first works do perform; lest then except, I am coming to you ([with] speed *K(o)*) and I will remove the lampstand of you out of the place of it, only unless you shall repent.
6 Nambi kulico, ucinsako caina pakwinga nkobisuni bilenshinga ba Nikolayi mbuli nenjame ncentabisunipo.”
But this you have that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans which I myself also I myself also hate.
7 “Uyo ukute matwi anyumfwe cilambanga Mushimu Uswepa ku mibungano!” “Beti bakakome ninkabasiminshe kulya ku cisepo cabuyumi cili mu libala lya Lesa.”
The [one] having an ear he should hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To the [one] overcoming I will give to him to eat of the tree of life which is in (midst *K*) (the paradise *N(k)O*) of God (of mine. *O*)
8 Ku mutangunishi wa mubungano wa ku Simuna komulembeleti, “Uwu mulumbe ulafumunga kuli wakutanguna kayi ne wakupwililisha. Uyo walafwa, nomba lino nimuyumi kayi.”
And to the angel (of the *NK(o)*) (in *no*) (Smyrna *N(k)O*) church do write: These things says the First and the Last, who became dead and came to life;
9 Ndainshi cena mapensho akobe, kayi ndicinsheti omupenshi, nikukabeco omubile. Ndibinshi byaipa byonse mbyobalakwambanga bantu balambangeti ni Bayuda nambi bantu bakunsa, abo bali mulikoto lya Satana.
I know your (works and *K*) tribulation and poverty — (but *no*) rich (now *k*) you are — and the slander from those claiming Jews to be themselves and not are, but a synagogue of Satan.
10 Kotatina mapensho ngeshi ucane. Nyumfwani! Satana ulipepi kubasebenshesha balwani benu, kwambeti basunge nabambi ne kubawala mujele, kwambeti bamusunke. Nimukacane mapensho akatasha kwa masuba ali likumi. Nomba kamutakaleka kunshoma nambi bakamushine, pakwinga ninkamupe cilambo ca buyumi butapu.
(nothing *NK(o)*) do fear what you are about (to suffer; *NK(o)*) Behold (indeed *o*) is about (to cast *N(k)O*) the devil [some] of you into prison so that you may be tested, and (you will have *NK(o)*) tribulation for days ten. do be faithful unto death, and I will give to you the crown of life.
11 “Ukute matwi anyumfwe cilambanga Mushimu Uswepa ku mibungano.” Lufu lwa tubili nteti bakakumane nalo bantu balakomonga ngofu sha bwipishi.
The [one] having an ear he should hear what the Spirit says to the churches; The [one] overcoming certainly not may be injured by the death second.
12 Ku mutangunishi wa mubungano wa Pegamo komulembeleti, “Uwu ni mulumbe ulafumunga kuli wekata cibeshi calumata konse konse.
And to the angel of the in Pergamum church do write: These things says the [One] having the sword two-edged sharp;
13 Ndicinsheti uko enkwabika cipuna cakendi cabwami. Nsombi mwashomeka kuli njame, muliya kutaya lushomo lwenu muli njame sobwe. Nambi mucindi kamboni wakame washomeka Antipa nkwalafwila uko kwalikwikala Satana.”
I know (the works of you and *K*) where you dwell, where the throne of Satan [is], and you hold fast to the name of Me and not you have denied the faith of Mine even in the days (in which *k*) of Antipas the witness of Mine the faithful [one] (of Mine *no*) who was killed among you where Satan dwells.
14 “Nomba nkuteko bintu bing'ana bya kutongauka. Muli njamwe nabambi balakonkelenga ciyisho ca Balamu, uyo walayisha Balaki kuwishila Baislayeli mu bwipishi bwa kulya byakulya byali kutwalwa ku tumbwanga ne kwinsa mubufule butambiki.”
But I have against you a few things because you have [some] there holding the teaching of Balaam, who (was teaching *NK(o)*) (in *k*) (*NK(o)*) Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel (and *o*) to eat idol-sacrifices and to commit sexual immorality.
15 Lino muli njamwe nabambi balakonkelenga ciyisho ca Banikolayi.
So have also you yourself [some] holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans (likewise. *N(K)O*)
16 Lekani bwipishi lino! Na mubule kwinseco, ndesanga mwakufwambana kwisa kulwana nabo bantu abo ne cibeshi ceshi cikafume mu mulomo wakame.
do repent (therefore! *NO*) lest then except I am coming to you quickly and I will make war against them with the sword of the mouth of Mine.
17 “Ukute matwi anyumfwe cilambanga Mushimu Uswepa ku mibungano!” “Beti bakakome ninkabalyeshe mana asolekwa. Kayi umo ne umo ninkamupe libwe lituba lyalembwapo lina lya lino lino ndyateshipo muntu uliyense, nsombi ulinshi ni mwine lalitambulunga.”
The [one] having an ear he should hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To the [one] overcoming I will give to him (to eat from *K*) the manna which hidden and I will give to him stone white, and on the stone a name new written which no [one] (knows *N(k)O*) only except the [one] receiving [it].
18 Ku mutangunishi wa mubungano wa Tiyatila komulembeleti, “Uwu ni mulumbe ulafumunga ku Mwanendi Lesa ukute menso alabangilingeti cibilibili ca mulilo, ukute myendo ilanyekumungeti cela cilafukutwa.
And to the angel (of the *NK(o)*) in Thyatira church do write: These things says the Son of God, the [One] having the eyes of Him like a flame of fire and the feet of Him like as burnished bronze;
19 Ndibwinshi cena buyumi bwakobe, lusuno lwenu kayi ne lushomo lwenu muli njame, ndicinshi ncemukute kunyamfwana umo ne munendi ne ncemukute kupita mu makatasho kwakubula kubwelela kunyuma. Ndicinshi kwambeti lino mulenshinga caina kupita pa cindi ncemwalanshoma.
I know your works and love and faith and service and the perseverance of you and the works of you (and *k*) the latter [are] greater than the first.
20 Nomba nikukabeco, ndatongaukunga, pakwinga Yezebeli mutukashi ukute kulyambeti ni mushinshimi. Mulamulekenga kayisha biyisho bya bwepeshi ne kuwishila basebenshi bakame mu bufule butambiki ne mukulya byakulya bikute kubengwa ku tumbwanga.
But I have against you (few things *K*) that (you permit *N(k)O*) the woman (of you *O*) Jezebel, (the [one] *N(k)O*) (calling *N(k)(o)*) herself a prophetess (and *no*) (she teaches *N(k)O*) and (she misleads *N(k)O*) My servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat idol-sacrifices.
21 Nomba ndamupako ka cindi kang'anowa kwambeti aleke kwinsa byaipa, nsombi lakananga kuleka bufule.”
And I have given to her time that she may repent and not (she is willing *NO*) (to repent *N(k)O*) of the sexual immorality of her.
22 Kamubonani, ninkamuwale pa bulili bwakendi mpoti akakolwele, pamo ne bonse mbwali kupombola nabo ninkabapenshewe, na babule kuleka kwinsa byaipa nendiye.
Behold (I myself *k*) I cast her into a sickbed and those committing adultery with her into tribulation great, only unless (they shall repent *NK(o)*) of the deeds (of her. *N(K)O*)
23 Ninkashine bonse balakonkonga biyisho byakendi, neco mibungano yonse nikenshibeti njame nkute kubona cilayeyenga bantu ne ncebalayandanga. Ninkape cisubulo kwelana ne bwipishi bwa muntu uliyense.
And the children of her I will kill with death, and will know all the churches that I myself am the [One] searching affections and hearts, and I will give of you to each according to the works of you.
24 Mobambi uko ku Tiyatila nkamulakonkonga biyisho byaipa, nkamubinshi mbyobalambanga abo balamukonkonga mbyobalambangeti, “Mwine Satana mbyafumbika.” Ndamwambilingeti, nteti nkamutwikepo mutolo wa milawo naumbi wapita wa kwambeti,
To you however I say (to the *N(K)O*) rest of those in Thyatira, as many as not have teaching this, (and *k*) who not have known the (deeps *N(k)O*) of Satan as they say: Not (I do cast *N(k)O*) upon you any other burden,
25 pitilishani kushoma mwangofu muli njame kushikila nkese.
But to what you have do hold fast until which [time] maybe I may come.
26 Beti bakakome mu nkondo iyi kayi beti bakapitilishe kwinsa ncondayandanga kushikila ku mapwililisho, ninkabapeko ngofu shakwendelesha mishobo yonse.
And the [one] overcoming and who is keeping until [the] end the works of Mine, I will give to him authority over the nations;
27 Nibakendeleshe mishobo ne nkoli ya cela, nibakapwayaule mishobo ya bantu mbuli ncebakute kutobaula nongo.
and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron, as the vessels [of] the potter (are broken in pieces *NK(o)*) just as I myself also I myself also have received from the Father of Mine.
28 Mungofu shabwendeleshi shendalatambula kufuma kuli Bata. Nenjame ninkabape ntanda.
And I will give to him the star morning.
29 “Na mukute matwi nyumfwani cilambanga Mushimu wa Lesa ku mibungano!”
The [one] having an ear he should hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
