Ulusetulilo 2
1 “Umunyamola ughwa lukong'ano lwa Efeso lemba: 'Agha ghe masio gha jula juno igadilila inondue siila lekela lubale muluvoko lwa mwene ulwa ndio. Jula juno ighenda n'kate mu fyimilo ifya sahabu ifya tala lekela lubale ijova ndiki,”
"To the minister of the Church in Ephesus write as follows: "'This is what He who holds the seven stars in the grasp of His right hand says--He who walks to and fro among the seven lampstands of gold.
2 “Nikagwile kuuti uvombile kungufu sako isa mbombo nu lugudo lwako uvupesie, na kwekuuti naluvangilile kuva na vahosi, kange vooni vano vikujikemela kuuti vasung'ua nambe navevene, vihufisie kuuti vadesi.
I know your doings and your toil and patient suffering. And I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, but have put to the test those who say that they themselves are Apostles but are not, and you have found them to be liars.
3 Nikagwile ghughulila nu lugudo, kange ukilile nyinga vwimila vwa litavua lyango, ujighe nukatile.
And you endure patiently and have borne burdens for My sake and have never grown weary.
4 Looli iili lyelino nilinalyo vwimila vwako, uvulekile uvughano vwako vwa kwasia.
Yet I have this against you--that you no longer love Me as you did at first.
5 Lino kumbuka pene ukaghwile, ukalate na kuvomba imbombo sino ukavombile kuhuma pa vwasio. Ungabuhile ku lata, nikwisa kulyuve na kuvusia ikyimilo kyako kuhuma apa.
Be mindful, therefore, of the height from which you have fallen. Repent at once, and act as you did at first, or else I will surely come and remove your lampstand out of its place--unless you repent.
6 Looli uve uli niili, ghukalala ghala ghano Wanikolai vavombile, ghano nambe june nikughakalalila.
Yet this you have in your favor: you hate the doings of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Nave ulinimbughulutu, pulikisia sino u Mhepo ikusivula ing'ong'ano. Nakwamwene juno iwesia nikum'pela uvutavule uvwa kyakulia kuhuma mu m'piki uvwa vwumi ghuno ghuliku Paradiso ija Nguluve.'
"'Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. To him who overcomes I will give the privilege of eating the fruit of the Tree of Life, which is in the Paradise of God.'
8 “Muvanyamola ava likong'ano ulwa Smirna lemba: 'Agha masio ghajula juno ghwa kuvwasio na kuvusililo juno akafwile nakuvva mwumi kange:
"To the minister of the Church at Smyrna write as follows: "'This is what the First and the Last says--He who died and has returned to life.
9 '“Nisikagwile imumuko isako nu vukotofu vwako (looli uve ulimofu), nu vudesi vwavala vano vikutambula va Yahudi (looli nave - vene nyumba ja kufunyila ija setano).
Your sufferings I know, and your poverty--but you are rich--and the evil name given you by those who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are Satan's synagogue.
10 Nungoghopaghe imumuko sino sikukwagha. Lola! Usetano ilonda kukuvatagha vamo mulyumue mu ndinde neke mughelue, pe mupumuke ifighono kijigho kimo. Muve vitiki mpaka kufua pe nikuvapela ingigha ija vwumi.
Dismiss your fears concerning all that you are about to suffer. I tell you that the Devil is about to throw some of you into prison that you may be put to the test, and for ten days you will have to endure persecution. Be faithful to the End, even if you have to die, and then I will give you the victor's Wreath of Life.
11 Nde ulini mbughulutu, pulikisiagha u Mhepo pano ikuvavula avitiki. Jula juno anoghile naga vwaghe uvu nangifu vwa vufue uvwa vuvili.'
"'Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. He who overcomes shall be in no way hurt by the Second Death.'
12 “Mu vanyamola ava nyumba ija kufunyila ija Pergamo lemba: agha gheghano ijova umwene juno alinavo ibamba inemi, uvufue uvwa vuvili.
"To the minister of the Church at Pergamum write as follows: "'This is what He who has the sharp, two-edged sword says. I know where you dwell.
13 '“Niikagula pano ghukukala -pano pekile ikitengo kya vutua ikya setano. Pa uluo uve ulyakolile ilitavualyango, kange nakalwitike ulwiko lwako luno lukwiline, kange ifighono fila ifya Antipasi mwolesi ghwango, mwitiki wango juno abudilwie un'kate mulyumue, apuo pe pano u setano ikukala.
Satan's throne is there; and yet you are true to Me, and did not deny your faith in Me, even in the days of Antipas My witness and faithful friend, who was put to death among you, in the place where Satan dwells.
14 Looli nilinamasio madebe nuve: ulinavanhu ukuo vano vakolile um'bulanisio isa Balaamu, ghwe mwene juno akam'bulanisie u Balaki kuvika ifikuvasi pavulongolo pa vana va Israel, ulwakuuti valisaghe ifyakulia vinovihumisivue ilitekelo kuminguluvi na ku vwafuka.
Yet I have a few things against you, because you have with you some that cling to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling-block in the way of the descendants of Israel--to eat what had been sacrificed to idols, and commit fornication.
15 Mulwakuva vulevule, najuve ulinavo vamo vonovakolile imbulanisio isa Wanikolai.
So even you have some that cling in the same way to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16 Lino ulataghe! Nde naghuvomba anala, nikwisa ng'aning'ani, pe nivomba ilugu mu vene ni bamba jino jihuma mumulomo ghwango.
Repent, at once; or else I will come to you quickly, and will make war upon them with the sword which is in My mouth.
17 Neve uli ni mbughulutu, pulikisia kino u Mhepo ikusivula ing'ongano. Umwene juno iwesia, nikum'pela fimonga fino fili kuvusyefu, kange nikum'pela ilivue lino lilembilue lino lilembilue iliitavua ilipia pa kyanya pa livue, ilitavua lino nakwale juno akagwile looli umwene juno ikulyupila.'
"'Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. He who overcomes--to him I will give some of the hidden Manna, and a white stone; and--written upon the stone and known only to him who receives it-- a new name.'
18 “Kwa munyamola ughwa lukong'ano lya Thiatira lemba: “Agha ghe masio gha Mwana ghwa Nguluve, umwene juno alinamaso ghamwene hwene lulapi lwa mwoto, ni sajo hwene shaba jino jikulilue kyongo:
"To the minister of the Church at Thyateira write as follows: "'This is what the Son of God says--He who has eyes like a flame of fire, and feet resembling silver-bronze.
19 '“Nikagwile kino uvombile - ulughano lwako nu lwitiko ni mbombo nhu lugudo lwako ulupesie, nakuuti kila kino ghwa vomba linolino kikilile ku kiila kino ukavombile tasi
I know your doings, your love, your faith, your service, and your patient endurance; and that of late you have toiled harder than you did at first.
20 looli nili nalo iili kulyuve: ghugundule kwa mama u Yezebeli juno ikutambula umwene m'bili muki mama, mu mbulanisio sa mwene ikuvasoveleng'ania avavombi vango kuvwafuka nakulia ikyakulia kino kikahumisivue litekelo kufihwani.
Yet I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and by her teaching leads astray My servants, so that they commit fornication and eat what has been sacrificed to idols.
21 Nikam'pelile unsiki ughwa kulata, looli nailinga'anisie kulata uvuhosi vwa mwene.
I have given her time to repent, but she is determined not to repent of her fornication.
22 Lolagha! Lolagha nikumpela ku kitala ikya namu, navala vano vivomba uvuvwafu voope ku mumuko inalamu, pa uluo valataghe kukino vavombile.
I tell you that I am about to cast her upon a bed of sickness, and I will severely afflict those who commit adultery with her, unless they repent of conduct such as hers.
23 Nikuvata avanake vafue ni ng'ong'ano soonisikagula kuuti une nihungila amasaghe nuvunoghelua. Nikum'pela umuunhu ghweni kulyumue ndavule sino ivomba umwene.
Her children too shall surely die; and all the Churches shall come to know that I am He who searches into men's inmost thoughts; and to each of you I will give a requital which shall be in accordance with what your conduct has been.
24 Looli ku vamo kulyumue mwevano musighiile ku Thiatira, kuvala voonni vano navakolile im'bulanisio iisi, najumue mwevano namukagwile kiila kino vamonga vitambula vusyefu vwa setano, nijova kulyumue, 'nanivika kulyumue unsigho ghwoghwoni.'
But to you, the rest of you in Thyateira, all who do not hold this teaching and are not the people who have learnt the "deep things," as they call them (the deep things of Satan!) --to you I say that I lay no other burden on you.
25 Kulisio lilino livisaghe, luvanoghile kuva ningufu m'paka niliva nikwisa.
Only that which you already possess, cling to until I come.
26 Ghweni juno ilefia na kuvomba kikila kino nikavombile kufika kuvusililo, kwamwene mukum'pela uvutavulilua kufisikina.
"'And to him who overcomes and obeys My commands to the very end, I will give authority over the nations of the earth.
27 'Ghukuvatemagha nulukwegho lwa kyuma, ndavule ibakuli sa matope, ikuvadenyania fighavo fighavo.'
And he shall be their shepherd, ruling them with a rod of iron, just as earthenware jars are broken to pieces; and his power over them shall be like that which I Myself have received from My Father;
28 Ndavule nikupile kuhuma kwa Nhata ghwango, nikum'pela kange inondue ja palwakilo.
and I will give him the Morning Star.
29 Nave ulinimbughulutu, pulikisia kiila kino u Mhepo ikusivula ing'ong'ano.'
Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'
