< 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:
“Kyerɛw krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfo a otua Efeso asafo no ano, na ka kyerɛ no se: Eyi ne nsɛm a efi obi a okura nsoromma ason wɔ ne nsa nifa mu a ɔnantew wɔ sika akaneadua ason no ntam no hɔ.
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.
Minim nea woayɛ. Minim nsi a wode ayɛ adwuma ne boasetɔ a wowɔ. Minim sɛ wunnye nnebɔneyɛfo, na afei woasɔ wɔn a wɔka se wɔyɛ asomafo nanso wɔnnyɛ bi no ahwɛ, na woahu sɛ wɔyɛ atorofo.
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
Wowɔ boasetɔ, na me nti woahu amane bebree, nanso wompaa abaw ɛ.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
Nanso nea mewɔ tia wo ne sɛ, wonnɔ me sɛnea kan no na wodɔ me no.
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.
Hu ba a woaba fam no. Sakra wʼadwene na yɛ sɛnea kan no na woyɛ no. Sɛ woansakra wʼadwene a, mɛba wo nkyɛn na mabeyi wo kaneadua no afi ne sibea.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Nanso nea eye wɔ wo ho ne sɛ, wukyi nea Nikolaifo no yɛ no, na saa ara na me nso mikyi.
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.
Nea ɔwɔ aso no ntie nea Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo ahorow no. Wɔn a wɔadi nkonim no, mɛma wɔn tumi na wɔadi nkwadua a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn paradise hɔ.
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:
“Kyerɛw krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfo a otua Smirnaasafo no ano se: Saa asɛm yi fi Ɔkannifo ne Okyikafo no nkyɛn. Nea owui na ɔte ase bio no.
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.
Minim amane a wuhu maa Awurade na minim wʼahiasɛm nyinaa nso, nanso wowɔ agyapade wɔ ɔsoro. Minim nsɛm a wɔn a wose wɔyɛ Yudafo nanso wɔnyɛ Yudafo no ka tia wo. Wɔyɛ ɔbonsam hyiadan.
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.
Nsuro ɔhaw a ɛrebɛto wo no. Tie! Wɔde mo mu bi bɛto afiase na ɔbonsam nam so asɔ mo ahwɛ. Na mo haw bedi nnafua du. Sɛ owu mu mpo a, gye me di na mɛma wo nkwa abotiri.
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.
Nea ɔwɔ aso no ntie nea Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo no. Wɔn a wodi nkonim no renwu owuprenu.
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
“Kyerɛw krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfo a ɔwɔ Pergamo asafo mu se: Saa krataa yi fi nea ɔwɔ afoa anofanu a ɛyɛ nnam no nkyɛn.
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.
Minim sɛ faako a wote no, ɛhɔ na ɔbonsam ahengua si. Wudi me nokware; na bere a wokum Antipa a ɔyɛ ɔdanseni nokwafo wɔ faako a ɔbonsam te no mpo, woampa me.
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.
Nanso nneɛma kakra a mewɔ tia wo ne sɛ, nnipa bi a wodi Bileam nkyerɛkyerɛakyi no ka wo ho wɔ hɔ. Saa Bileam no na ɔkyerɛɛ Balak ma ɔmaa Israelfo dii abosom so nnuan, kyerɛɛ wɔn aguamammɔ, nam so ma wɔyɛɛ bɔne no.
15 So also you likewise have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Saa ara nso na wowɔ nnipa bi ka wo ho a wodi Nikolaifo nkyerɛkyerɛ akyi.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Twe wo ho fi wo bɔne ho. Anyɛ saa a, ɛrenkyɛ biara mɛba wo nkyɛn, na mede afoa a efi mʼanom no abɛko atia saa nnipa no.
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.
Nea ɔwɔ aso no ntie nea Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo ahorow no. Mo a moadi nkonim no, mɛma mo mana a ahintaw no bi. Afei, mɛma wɔn mu biara ɔbo fitaa a wɔakyerɛw din foforo wɔ so a obiara nnim, gye onipa a wɔde bɛma no no.
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:
“Kyerɛw krataa kɔma ɔbɔfo a ɔwɔ Tiatira asafo mu se: Eyi ne asɛm a efi Onyankopɔn Ba no a nʼani dɛw sɛ ogyatannaa a ne nan ase hyerɛn sɛ asanka no nkyɛn.
19 “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
Minim nea woyɛ. Minim wo dɔ, wo gyidi, wo som ne boasetɔ a wowɔ. Minim sɛ woreyɛ adwuma sen kan no.
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.
Nanso nea mewɔ tia wo ne sɛ, wugyee ɔbea bi a ne din de Isabel, a ɔfrɛ ne ho, Onyankopɔn odiyifo no too mu. Saa ɔbea yi kyerɛkyerɛ, na odi mʼasomafo anim ma wɔbɔ aguaman di abosom aduan.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
Mama no bere sɛ ɔnsakra mfi ne bɔne mu, nanso ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔsakra fi nʼaguamammɔ mu.
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.
Ɛno nti, sɛ wɔansakra amfi amumɔyɛ a wɔne no yɛe no mu a, mɛtow no ahwe mpa so na ɔno ne wɔn a wɔsɛe aware no ahu amane a ano yɛ den yiye.
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.
Afei, mekunkum nʼakyidifono, na asafo no nyinaa behu sɛ mene obi a mihu nnipa adwene mu ne wɔn akɔnnɔ. Nea mo mu biara yɛe no, metua no so ka pɛpɛɛpɛ.
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.
Nanso mo mu bi a mowɔ Tiatira no nni saa nkyerɛkyerɛ bɔne no akyi. Munsuaa nea afoforo frɛ no, ‘Ɔbonsam asumansɛm’ no. Meka kyerɛ mo se, meremfa adesoa foforo biara nto mo so.
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
Na munso nea mowɔ no mu dennen nkosi sɛ mɛba.
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
Wɔn a wodi nkonim na wɔkɔ so yɛ nea mepɛ kosi awiei no, mede tumi koro no ara a minya fii
27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots, as I also have received of my Father;
mʼAgya hɔ no bɛma wɔn. Mɛma wɔn aman so tumi na wɔde dade pema adi wɔn so na wɔabobɔ wɔn sɛ nkuku.
28 and I will give him the morning star.
Afei, mede anɔpa nsoromma bɛma wɔn.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Nea ɔwɔ aso no ntie nea Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo no.
