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:
“Umyandikila mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga mweiyimalila msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va Efeso kula.” “Wenuwu ndi ujumbi wewihuma kwa yula mweikamula ndondo saba muchiwoko chaki cha kulyela na mweigenda pagati ya vibokoselu saba zezitenganizwi kwa zahabu.
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.
Nigamanyili matendu gaku goha, nimanyili kukangamala kwaku na kunihengela. Nimanyili kuvya wihotola lepi kuvayidakila vandu vahakau. Uvalingili vala vevakujikemela vene vamitumi na kumbi lepi vamitumi, wamwene uvamanyili kuvya venavo vadese.
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
Veve ndi usindimili, ung'aiswi ndava ya liina langu, nambu utotokili lepi.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
Nambu nivii na lijambu limonga kukuvavala veve: Veve uniganili lepi nene amala mwiganana lepi kavili hinu ngati kutumbula.
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.
Hinu, uhololelayi chawavi kwakona uyagili lepi, unga'namukila Chapanga na kuleka uhakau ngati chawavi kadeni. Ngati lepi yati nibwela kwaku na kuwusa chibokoselu kuhuma pandu paki.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Nambu nihekelela ndava ya chindu ichi chimonga: Veve ukugayomela matendu gala gevihenga Wanikolai ngati chenikugayomela nene.”
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.
Mweavi na makutu ga kuyuwana na ayuwanayi, hinu ndi ayuwana gala Mpungu Msopi geakuvajovela misambi ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu! “Mweihotola yati nikumpela kulya matunda ga mkongo wa wumi weuvi Paladiso mugati ya lidimba la Chapanga kunani.”
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:
“Muyandikila mtumu va kunani kwa Chapanga mweiyimalila msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va Simulina.” “Wenuwu ndi ujumbi kuhuma mweavi wa kutumbula na mwishu, mweafwili na hinu avi mumi kavili.
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.
Nimannyili mang'ahiso gako mewawa nimanyili ungangu waku! Nambu kujova chakaka veve una vindu vyamahele, nimannyili chevakukuliga vala vevakujikemela Vayawudi nambu Vayawudi lepi vachakaka, ndi msambi weulongoswa na Setani.
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.
Ukoto kuyogopa mambu gegakukolela. Yuwanila! Setani igana kuvalinga kwa kuvasopa vangi vinu muchifungu, ndi nyenye yati mung'aika kwa magono kumi. Nambu mvya vasadikika mbaka kufwa kwinu na nene yati nikuvapela wumi ngati njingwa ya kuuhotola.”
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.
“Mweavi na makutu ga kuyuwana, ayuwana bwina gala Mpungu Msopi geakuvajovela msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu!” “Yula mweihotola ago yati iviniswa lepi ng'o na lifwa la pili.”
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
“Muyandikila mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga mweiyimalila msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va muji wa Peliganoni, aga ndi geijova.” “Mwenuyo mweavi na upanga weunoliwi pandi zoha:
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.
Nipamanyili pandu pewitama, penapo ndi Setani akuvalongosa vandu. Nambu veve wakona uyendalili kulikamula liina langu. Wayibeli lepi sadika yangu kwaku, hati mu magono ga muhengaji wangu Antipa msadikika mweijova ndava yangu, peakomiwi pagati ya muji wenuwo wewilongoswa na Setani.
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.
Nambu nina malovi gadebe gewihenga ganga nihekesa ndava yaku: Vangi vinu ndi valanda va Balaamu mweamuwuli Balaki kuvakulukisa vandu va Isilaeli vambudila Chapanga kwa kulya vyakulya vya luteta lwa chimong'omong'o na kukita ugoni.
15 So also you likewise have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Mewawa, vavi mewa pagati yinu vandu vevilanda mawuliwu ga Wanikolai.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Hinu, leka kumbudila Chapanga, ngati wangamung'anamukila, yati nibwela kanyata kutovana na vandu avo na upanga wewihuma mumlomo wangu.”
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.
“Mweavi na makutu, ayuwana bwina Mpungu Msopi cheakuvajovela msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu!” “Yula mweihotola, yati nikumpela chakulya chechikemelewa mana chechifiyiki kunani kwa Chapanga, mewawa yati nikumpela liganga lidebe la msopi, na panani yaki payandikwi liina lamupya kawaka mundu mweimanya, nambu nga vala ndu vevakulipokela.”
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:
“Umyandikila naha mtumu wa kunani wa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va Tuatila.” “Wenuwu ndi ujumbi wihuma kwa Mwana wa Chapanga, mweavi mihu geging'asima ngati motu, na magendelu geging'asima ngati shaba yeyiyogoliwi bwina.
19 “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
Nimanyili mambu gaku goha. Nimanyili uganu waku, sadika yaku, uhengaji waku na kusindimala kwaku. Nimanyili veve wihenga chabwina neju kuliku kadeni pala.
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.
Nambu nivii na lijambu limonga kwaku langa nihekesa: Veve ukumsindimalila mdala yula Yezebeli mweakujikemela mlota, mweiwula la kuvayagisa vatumisi vangu vakita ukemi na kulya vyakulya vyevitetiwi kwa chimong'omong'o.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
Nimpeli lukumbi lwa kuleka kumbudila Chapanga, nambu ibela kuleka ukemi waki.
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.
Yuwanila! Hinu nikumtova kwa matamu ndalindali mwene pamonga na vayaki vevahengili ukemi nayu yati vipata mang'ahiso gakali, ngati vabeli kuleka kubuda mumatendu gavi gahakau gevahengili.
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.
Kangi yati nikuvakoma valanda, muni misambi ya vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu voha vamanyalila kuvya nene ndi mwenimanya neju mitima na maholo ga vandu yati nikumpela kila mmonga ndava ya matendu gaki.”
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.
“Nambu vangi nyenye mwemuvi Tuatila mwangalanda mawuliwu ga Yezebeli, na mwangajiwula chila chevikemela mfiyu wa Setani. Nikuvajovela kuvya nikuvatwika lepi ndwika yingi yoyoha ya gala gemuvi nagu.
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
Yikuvagana muyima kuyendelela kunisadika na kuniyidakila nene mbaka penibwela.”
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
Na yula mweihotola kuyendelela kuhenga gala genikugagana mbaka mwishu, yati nikumpela uhotola kulongosa vandu va mulima woha.
27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots, as I also have received of my Father;
Yati akuvalongosa kwa ndonga ya lyuma na kuvahinyana ngati vindu vya ludaka.
28 and I will give him the morning star.
Mewawa yati nikumpela ndondo ya lukela. Ngati chenipokili uhotola kuhuma kwa Dadi wangu.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
“Mweavi na makutu, hinu ayuwana bwina gala Mpungu Msopi akuujovela msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.”
