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 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 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 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 Wekalikana cali, ulapengelenga ame nsombi nkolabwelelenga kunyuma sobwe.
I know you have patient endurance, and you have suffered much because of my name, and that you have not grown weary.
4 Nomba nikukabeco, ndakucana ne mulandu wakwambeti, nkonsunipo mbuli ncowalikunsuna pakutanguna.
But I have against you the fact that you have left behind your first love.
5 Anuka mushinga ngowalawa, shiya bwipishi kayi utatike kwinsa caina ncowalikwinsa pakutanguna. Na ubule kushiya bwipishi, ndakesanga kusa kufunyapo pakubika lampi pakobe.
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 Nambi kulico, ucinsako caina pakwinga nkobisuni bilenshinga ba Nikolayi mbuli nenjame ncentabisunipo.”
But you have this: You hate what the Nicolaitans have done, which I also hate.
7 “Uyo ukute matwi anyumfwe cilambanga Mushimu Uswepa ku mibungano!” “Beti bakakome ninkabasiminshe kulya ku cisepo cabuyumi cili mu libala lya Lesa.”
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 Ku mutangunishi wa mubungano wa ku Simuna komulembeleti, “Uwu mulumbe ulafumunga kuli wakutanguna kayi ne wakupwililisha. Uyo walafwa, nomba lino nimuyumi kayi.”
“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 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 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 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.
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 “Ukute matwi anyumfwe cilambanga Mushimu Uswepa ku mibungano.” Lufu lwa tubili nteti bakakumane nalo bantu balakomonga ngofu sha bwipishi.
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 Ku mutangunishi wa mubungano wa Pegamo komulembeleti, “Uwu ni mulumbe ulafumunga kuli wekata cibeshi calumata konse konse.
“To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: 'The words of the one who has the sword with two sharp edges:
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 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 “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 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 Lino muli njamwe nabambi balakonkelenga ciyisho ca Banikolayi.
In the same way, you even have some who hold tightly to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16 Lekani bwipishi lino! Na mubule kwinseco, ndesanga mwakufwambana kwisa kulwana nabo bantu abo ne cibeshi ceshi cikafume mu mulomo wakame.
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 “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.”
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 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.
“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 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 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 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 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 Nomba ndamupako ka cindi kang'anowa kwambeti aleke kwinsa byaipa, nsombi lakananga kuleka bufule.”
I gave her time to repent, but she is not willing to repent of her immorality.
22 Kamubonani, ninkamuwale pa bulili bwakendi mpoti akakolwele, pamo ne bonse mbwali kupombola nabo ninkabapenshewe, na babule kuleka kwinsa byaipa nendiye.
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 Ninkashine bonse balakonkonga biyisho byakendi, neco mibungano yonse nikenshibeti njame nkute kubona cilayeyenga bantu ne ncebalayandanga. Ninkape cisubulo kwelana ne bwipishi bwa muntu uliyense.
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 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,
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 pitilishani kushoma mwangofu muli njame kushikila nkese.
In any case, you must hold on tightly until I come.
26 Beti bakakome mu nkondo iyi kayi beti bakapitilishe kwinsa ncondayandanga kushikila ku mapwililisho, ninkabapeko ngofu shakwendelesha mishobo yonse.
The one who conquers and who does what I have done until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
27 Nibakendeleshe mishobo ne nkoli ya cela, nibakapwayaule mishobo ya bantu mbuli ncebakute kutobaula nongo.
'He will rule them with an iron rod, like clay jars he will break them into pieces.'
28 Mungofu shabwendeleshi shendalatambula kufuma kuli Bata. Nenjame ninkabape ntanda.
Just as I have received from my Father, I will also give him the morning star.
29 “Na mukute matwi nyumfwani cilambanga Mushimu wa Lesa ku mibungano!”
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”'”
