Ufunuo 2
1 “Kwa malaika wa kanisa lililoko Efeso andika: “Haya ndiyo maneno ya yule aliyezishika zile nyota saba katika mkono wake wa kuume na ambaye hutembea kati ya vile vinara saba vya taa vya dhahabu.
Τῷ ἀγγέλῳ ⸀τῆςἐν Ἐφέσῳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· Τάδε λέγει ὁ κρατῶν τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀστέρας ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ, ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἑπτὰ λυχνιῶν τῶν χρυσῶν·
2 Nayajua matendo yako, bidii yako na saburi yako. Najua kuwa huwezi kuvumiliana na watu waovu na ya kwamba umewajaribu wale wanaojifanya kuwa mitume na kumbe sio, nawe umewatambua kuwa ni waongo.
Οἶδα τὰ ἔργα σου, καὶ τὸν ⸀κόπονκαὶ τὴν ὑπομονήν σου, καὶ ὅτι οὐ δύνῃ βαστάσαι κακούς, καὶ ἐπείρασας τοὺς λέγοντας ἑαυτοὺς ⸀ἀποστόλους καὶ οὐκ εἰσίν, καὶ εὗρες αὐτοὺς ψευδεῖς·
3 Umevumilia na kustahimili taabu kwa ajili ya Jina langu, wala hukuchoka.
καὶ ὑπομονὴν ἔχεις, καὶ ἐβάστασας διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου, καὶ ⸂οὐ κεκοπίακες.
4 “Lakini nina neno dhidi yako: Umeuacha upendo wako wa kwanza.
ἀλλὰ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὅτι τὴν ἀγάπην σου τὴν πρώτην ἀφῆκες.
5 Kumbuka basi ni wapi ulikoangukia! Tubu na ukafanye matendo yale ya kwanza. Kama usipotubu, nitakuja kwako na kukiondoa kinara chako cha taa kutoka mahali pake.
μνημόνευε οὖν πόθεν ⸀πέπτωκας καὶ μετανόησον καὶ τὰ πρῶτα ἔργα ποίησον· εἰ δὲ μή, ἔρχομαί ⸀σοι καὶ κινήσω τὴν λυχνίαν σου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῆς, ἐὰν μὴ μετανοήσῃς.
6 Lakini una jambo hili kwa upande wako: Unayachukia matendo ya Wanikolai, ambayo nami pia nayachukia.
ἀλλὰ τοῦτο ἔχεις ὅτι μισεῖς τὰ ἔργα τῶν Νικολαϊτῶν, ἃ κἀγὼ μισῶ.
7 “Yeye aliye na sikio na asikie yale ambayo Roho ayaambia makanisa. Yeye ashindaye, nitampa haki ya kula matunda toka kwa mti wa uzima, ambao uko katika paradisoya Mungu.
ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. τῷ νικῶντι δώσω αὐτῷ φαγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ ξύλου τῆς ζωῆς, ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ τοῦ ⸀θεοῦ
8 “Kwa malaika wa kanisa lililoko Smirna andika: “Haya ndiyo maneno yake yeye aliye wa Kwanza na wa Mwisho, aliyekufa kisha akafufuka.
Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ ⸀τῆςἐν Σμύρνῃ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· Τάδε λέγει ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος, ὃς ἐγένετο νεκρὸς καὶ ἔζησεν·
9 Naijua dhiki yako na umaskini wako, lakini wewe ni tajiri! Nayajua masingizio ya wale wasemao kuwa ni Wayahudi lakini sio, bali wao ni sinagogi la Shetani.
Οἶδά ⸀σουτὴν θλῖψιν καὶ τὴν πτωχείαν, ἀλλὰ πλούσιος εἶ, καὶ τὴν βλασφημίαν ἐκ τῶν λεγόντων Ἰουδαίους εἶναι ἑαυτούς, καὶ οὐκ εἰσίν, ἀλλὰ συναγωγὴ τοῦ Σατανᾶ.
10 Usiogope mateso yatakayokupata. Nakuambia ibilisi atawatia baadhi yenu gerezani ili kuwajaribu, nanyi mtapata dhiki kwa muda wa siku kumi. Uwe mwaminifu hata kufa, nami nitakupa taji ya uzima.
⸀μηδὲνφοβοῦ ἃ μέλλεις ⸀πάσχειν ⸀ἰδοὺμέλλει ⸀βάλλεινὁ διάβολος ἐξ ὑμῶν εἰς φυλακὴν ἵνα πειρασθῆτε, καὶ ⸀ἕξετεθλῖψιν ἡμερῶν δέκα. γίνου πιστὸς ἄχρι θανάτου, καὶ δώσω σοι τὸν στέφανον τῆς ζωῆς.
11 “Yeye aliye na sikio na asikie yale ambayo Roho ayaambia makanisa. Yeye ashindaye hatadhuriwa kamwe na mauti ya pili.
ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. ὁ νικῶν οὐ μὴ ἀδικηθῇ ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου τοῦ δευτέρου.
12 “Kwa malaika wa Kanisa lililoko Pergamo andika: “Haya ndiyo maneno yake yeye aliye na upanga mkali wenye makali kuwili.
Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Περγάμῳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· Τάδε λέγει ὁ ἔχων τὴν ῥομφαίαν τὴν δίστομον τὴν ὀξεῖαν·
13 Ninajua unakoishi, ni kule ambako Shetani ana kiti chake cha enzi. Lakini umelishika Jina langu. Wala hukuikana imani yako kwangu hata katika siku za shahidi wangu mwaminifu Antipa, ambaye aliuawa katika mji mkuu wenu, ambako ndiko anakoishi Shetani.
⸀Οἶδαποῦ κατοικεῖς, ὅπου ὁ θρόνος τοῦ Σατανᾶ, καὶκρατεῖς τὸ ὄνομά μου, καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσω τὴν πίστιν μου ⸀καὶ ἐν ταῖς ⸀ἡμέραιςἈντιπᾶς, ὁ μάρτυς μου ὁ πιστός ⸀μου, ὃς ἀπεκτάνθη παρʼ ὑμῖν, ὅπου ὁ Σατανᾶς κατοικεῖ.
14 “Hata hivyo, nina mambo machache dhidi yako: Unao watu wafuatao mafundisho ya Balaamu, yule aliyemfundisha Balaki kuwashawishi Waisraeli watende dhambi kwa kula vitu vilivyotolewa kafara kwa sanamu na kufanya uasherati.
ἀλλὰ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὀλίγα, ὅτι ἔχεις ἐκεῖ κρατοῦντας τὴν διδαχὴν Βαλαάμ, ὃς ⸂ἐδίδασκεν τῷ Βαλὰκ βαλεῖν σκάνδαλον ἐνώπιον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, ⸀φαγεῖνεἰδωλόθυτα καὶ πορνεῦσαι·
15 Vivyo hivyo unao wale wayashikayo mafundisho ya Wanikolai.
οὕτως ἔχεις καὶ σὺ κρατοῦντας τὴν ⸀διδαχὴνΝικολαϊτῶν ὁμοίως.
16 Basi tubu! Ama sivyo, nitakuja kwako upesi na kupigana na watu hao kwa upanga wa kinywa changu.
μετανόησον οὖν· εἰ δὲ μή, ἔρχομαί σοι ταχύ, καὶ πολεμήσω μετʼ αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ τοῦ στόματός μου.
17 “Yeye aliye na sikio na asikie yale ambayo Roho ayaambia makanisa. Yeye ashindaye nitampa baadhi ya ile mana iliyofichwa. Nitampa pia jiwe jeupe ambalo juu yake limeandikwa jina jipya asilolijua mtu, isipokuwa yule anayelipokea.
ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. τῷ νικῶντι δώσω ⸀αὐτῷτοῦ μάννα τοῦ κεκρυμμένου, καὶ δώσω αὐτῷ ψῆφον λευκήν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ψῆφον ὄνομα καινὸν γεγραμμένον ὃ οὐδεὶς οἶδεν εἰ μὴ ὁ λαμβάνων.
18 “Kwa malaika wa kanisa lililoko Thiatira andika: “Haya ndiyo maneno ya Mwana wa Mungu, ambaye macho yake ni kama mwali wa moto na ambaye miguu yake ni kama shaba iliyosuguliwa sana.
Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ ⸀τῆςἐν Θυατείροις ἐκκλησίας γράψον· Τάδε λέγει ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ, ὁ ἔχων τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ ὡς φλόγα πυρός, καὶ οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ ὅμοιοι χαλκολιβάνῳ·
19 Nayajua matendo yako, upendo wako na imani yako, huduma na saburi yako na kwamba matendo yako ya sasa yamezidi yale ya kwanza.
Οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα, καὶ τὴν ⸂ἀγάπην καὶ τὴν πίστιν καὶ τὴν διακονίαν καὶ τὴν ὑπομονήν σου, καὶ τὰ ἔργα σου τὰ ἔσχατα πλείονα τῶν πρώτων.
20 “Hata hivyo, nina neno dhidi yako: Unamvumilia yule mwanamke Yezebeli ambaye anajiita nabii, lakini anawafundisha na kuwapotosha watumishi wangu ili wafanye uasherati na kula vyakula vilivyotolewa kafara kwa sanamu.
ἀλλὰ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὅτι ἀφεῖς τὴν ⸀γυναῖκαἸεζάβελ, ἡ ⸀λέγουσαἑαυτὴν προφῆτιν, καὶ διδάσκει καὶ πλανᾷ τοὺς ἐμοὺς δούλους πορνεῦσαι καὶ φαγεῖν εἰδωλόθυτα.
21 Nimempa muda ili atubu kwa ajili ya uasherati wake, lakini hataki.
καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτῇ χρόνον ἵνα μετανοήσῃ, καὶ οὐ θέλει μετανοῆσαι ἐκ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς.
22 Kwa hiyo nitamtupa kwenye kitanda cha mateso, na nitawafanya hao wanaozini naye kupata mateso makali wasipotubia njia zake.
ἰδοὺ βάλλω αὐτὴν εἰς κλίνην, καὶ τοὺς μοιχεύοντας μετʼ αὐτῆς εἰς θλῖψιν μεγάλην, ἐὰν μὴ ⸀μετανοήσωσινἐκ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῆς·
23 Nami nitawaua watoto wake. Nayo makanisa yote yatajua kwamba Mimi ndiye nichunguzaye mioyo na nia, na kwamba nitamlipa kila mmoja wenu kwa kadiri ya matendo yake.
καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς ἀποκτενῶ ἐν θανάτῳ· καὶ γνώσονται πᾶσαι αἱ ἐκκλησίαι ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἐραυνῶν νεφροὺς καὶ καρδίας, καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα ὑμῶν.
24 Basi nawaambia ninyi wengine mlioko Thiatira, ninyi ambao hamyafuati mafundisho ya Yezebeli, wala hamkujifunza hayo yanayoitwa mambo ya ndani sana ya Shetani (sitaweka mzigo mwingine wowote juu yenu):
ὑμῖν δὲ λέγω τοῖς λοιποῖς τοῖς ἐν Θυατείροις, ὅσοι οὐκ ἔχουσιν τὴν διδαχὴν ταύτην, οἵτινες οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὰ βαθέα τοῦ Σατανᾶ, ὡς λέγουσιν, οὐ βάλλω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἄλλο βάρος·
25 Lakini shikeni sana mlicho nacho, mpaka nitakapokuja.
πλὴν ὃ ἔχετε κρατήσατε ἄχρι οὗ ἂν ἥξω.
26 “Atakayeshinda na kutenda mapenzi yangu mpaka mwisho, nitampa mamlaka juu ya mataifa:
καὶ ὁ νικῶν καὶ ὁ τηρῶν ἄχρι τέλους τὰ ἔργα μου, δώσω αὐτῷ ἐξουσίαν ἐπὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν,
27 “‘Atawatawala kwa fimbo ya chuma, atawavunja vipande vipande kama chombo cha udongo’: kama vile mimi nilivyopokea mamlaka kutoka kwa Baba yangu.
καὶ ποιμανεῖ αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ ὡς τὰ σκεύη τὰ κεραμικὰ ⸀συντρίβεται
28 Nami nitampa pia ile nyota ya asubuhi.
ὡς κἀγὼ εἴληφα παρὰ τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ δώσω αὐτῷ τὸν ἀστέρα τὸν πρωϊνόν.
29 Yeye aliye na sikio na asikie yale ambayo Roho ayaambia makanisa.
ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.
