< Revelation 2 >

1 “To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: “He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lamp stands says these things:
Efisa ah kaom van kami kricabu khaeah hae tiah tarik ah; a bantang banah cakaeh sarihto patawn, sui hoi sak ih hmai paaanghaih salakah amkae kami mah hae lok hae thuih:
2 “I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.
tok na sakhaih, tha na pathokhaih, na pauephaihnawk to ka panoek; kahoih ai kaminawk to na khen sut ai: patoeh ih kami na ai to mah, patoeh ih kami baktiah angsahcop kaminawk to na tanoek moe, nihcae loe amsawnlok thui kami ni, tiah nam tuengsak:
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
Ka hmin pongah raihaih na tongh, amtanghaih to na pauep, toe tha na zok ai.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
Toe hmaloe ih amlunghaih to na caehtaak pongah, na nuiah koeh ai ih hmuen ka tawnh.
5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.
To pongah nam timhaih ahmuen to pahnet hmah, dawnpakhuem ah loe, na sak hmaloe ih toknawk to sah ah; to tiah na dawnpakhuem ai nahaeloe, nang khaeah karangah kang zoh moe, na hmaithaw to a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah ka tahruet ving han.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Toe kahoih hmuen na tawnh, kaimah doeh ka hnukma ih, Nikolaitan kaminawk mah sak o ih hmuennawk to na hnukma toeng.
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.
Naa tawn kami loe, Muithla mah kricaabunawk khaeah thuih ih lok to tahngai nasoe; Sithaw ih paradise um ah kaom hinghaih thingkung to caak hanah, pazawk kami khaeah ka paek han.
8 “To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
Smyrna ah kaom van kami kricaabu khaeah hae tiah tarik ah; hmaloe koek hoi hnukkhuem koekah kaom, kadueh moe, kahing let Anih mah hae loknawk hae thuih;
9 “I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
na tok sakhaih, na patangkhanghaih, nam tanghaih (toe nang loe angraeng ah ni na oh) to ka panoek; Judah kami ai to mah Judah kami ah angsahcop, Sineko ah kaom Setan ih kaminawk mah kasae thuih o ih loknawk doeh ka panoek.
10 Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Patang na khang han kaom hmuennawk to zii hmah: khenah, nang to tanoek hanah, taqawk mah nangcae thung ih thoemto kaminawk to thongim pakhrah tih; ni hato thung patangkhanghaih to na tongh o tih: duek khoek to oep kathok ah om oh, hinghaih sui lumuek to kang paek o han.
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won’t be harmed by the second death.
Naa tawn kami loe, kricaabunawk khaeah Muithla mah thuih ih lok to tahngai nasoe; pazawk kami loe vaihnetto duekhaih mah nganbawh kana paek mak ai.
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
Pergamo ah kaom van kami kricaabu khaeah hae tiah tarik ah; ahnuk ahmaa kanoe sumsen katawn Anih mah hae loknawk hae thuih;
13 “I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn’t deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
na tok sakhaih, na ohhaih ahmuen hoi Setan anghnuthaih tangkhang ohhaih ahmuen to ka panoek: nangcae salak ih Setan ohhaih ahmuen ah, oep kaom Kai ih kami Antipa hum o nathuem ah, Ka hmin to kacakah na patawnh, Kai tanghaih na caehtaak ai.
14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
Toe Israel caanawk nihcae hmaa ah amtimh o moe, krang bokhaih buhcaak khue ai ah, nongpa nongpata zaehaih sak o hanah, Balak patukkung, Balaam mah patuk ih lok pazui kaminawk nangcae khaeah oh o pongah, na nuiah koeh ai ih hmuen zetta ka tawnh.
15 So also you likewise have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
To baktih toengah ka hnukma ih, Nikolaitan kaminawk mah patuk ih lok pazui kaminawk doeh nangcae thungah oh o.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Dawnpakhuem ah, to tih ai nahaeloe karangah nang khae kang zoh moe, ka pakha thung ih sumsen hoiah nihcae to ka tuk han.
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows but he who receives it.
Naa tawn kami loe, kricaabunawk khaeah Muithla mah thuih ih lok to tahngai nasoe; pazawk kami hanah loe hawk ih manna to caak hanah ka paek han, kahak kami khue mah ai ah loe, mi mah doeh panoek ai ih, a nuiah ahmin kangtha tarik ih thlung, thlung kanglung maeto anih hanah ka paek han.
18 “To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:
Thyatira ah kaom vankami kricaabu khaeah hae tiah tarik ah; hmaipalai baktiah kaom mik, kampha sum kamling baktiah kaom khok katawn, Sithaw Capa mah hae loknawk hae thuih;
19 “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
na sak ih toknawk, amlunghaih, toksakhaih, tanghaih, na toksakhaih hoi palungsawkhaih to ka panoek; na sak hmaloe ih tok pongah hnukkhuem ah na sak ih tok to pop kue.
20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
Toe ka tamnanawk nongpa nongpata zaehaih saksak hanah patuk moe, krang bokhaih buhcaak hanah pacuek, angmah hoi angmah to kai loe tahmaa nongpata maeto ah ni ka oh, tiah kathui nongpata Jezebel to na pakaa ai na khet sut pongah, na nuiah koeh ai ih hmuen zetta ka tawnh.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
Nongpa nongpata zae sakhaih thung hoiah a dawnpakhuem hanah anih to atue ka paek, toe anih mah dawnpakhuem ai.
22 Behold, I will throw her and those who commit adultery with her into a bed of great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
To pongah khenah, anih to ngannathaih iihkhun nuiah ka vah han, anih hoi zaehaih sah kaminawk doeh a sak o ih hmuennawk pongah dawnpakhuem o ai nahaeloe, kanung parai patangkhanghaih thungah ka vah han.
23 I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
Anih ih caanawk to ka hum han; to naah ni kricaabunawk boih mah Kai loe kami ih palungthin pakrong Anih ah ka oh, tiah panoek o tih: na sak o ih tok baktih toengah kang paek o han.
24 But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira—as many as don’t have this teaching, who don’t know what some call ‘the deep things of Satan’—to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
Thoem to kaminawk mah kathuk Setan ih hmuennawk, tiah thuih o ih hmuennawk to panoek ai kami, to baktih amtukhaih tawn ai kaminawk hoi kanghmat Thyatira kaminawk khaeah loe, Nangcae nuiah kalah hmuenzit ka koeng mak ai, tiah ka thuih.
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
Na tawnh o ih hmuen to kang zo ai karoek to kacakah patawn oh.
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
Pazawk kami hoi boeng khoek to kai ih toksah kami hanah loe acaeng kaminawk ukthaihaih to ka paek han:
27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots, as I also have received of my Father;
kam Pa khae hoi ka hnuk ih baktih toengah, Anih mah acaeng kaminawk to sumboeng hoiah uk tih; nihcae loe laom kakoi baktiah koi o tih.
28 and I will give him the morning star.
Anih hanah akhawnbang cakaeh to ka paek han.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Naa tawn kami loe, Muithla mah kricaabunawk khaeah thuih ih lok to tahngai nasoe.
