1 “Udu kiti ngono kadura Kutelle kilari nlira in Afisawa nyertine: 'Uliru nlenge na a min iyini kuzore ncara ulime me. Ule na adin cinu nan nya tica nla nizinariya kuzore nworo nenge,
"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 “Meng yiru imon ile na una suu nin katwaa nijasi fe ayi asheu nin teru kibinai fe, ana fe wa sa uso ligowe nin na nan katwaa kananzang ba, uminin na dumun alenge na idin su inung nono kadura, a na nanere yi ta ba, inanin se nani nin kinuu.
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 Meng yiru nsheu nteru kibinai fe, umini na neo kang bara lisa ning, a na una lanza kudirya ba.
And you endure patiently and have borne burdens for My sake and have never grown weary.
4 Vat nani ndi nin nimon nivira nin fi, bara na una sun usuu nburnu fe.
Yet I have this against you--that you no longer love Me as you did at first.
5 Lizino kiti kanga na una diu ku. Suna kulapi fe usu imon ile na una suzu nin burne. A se na ucino likara li nanza fe ba, in wang dak mba da kalu kuca nle kitene.
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 Bara na udi nin lele, udin shina nile imon na an Nikolitiya na su, ile wang na meng nari.
Yet this you have in your favor: you hate the doings of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Andi udi nin kutuf, lanza imon ile na Uruhu din bellu nilari nliru Kutelle. Ule na a leo likume mba yinunghe ali kucan lai, ko na kudi kipin tigo Kutelle'.
"'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 “Udu kitin gono kadura Kutelle kilarin nlira in Sumaniya nyertine: Ulelere uliru nlenge na awa di nburnue nin ni maline, ulenge na awa ku amini na ti ulai tutung:
"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 “Meng yiru uniu nin likimon fe. (amma udin nin se), nin wulsu na lenge na idininsu innung a Yahudawari (a na naniere ba, ina dii kilarin nlirun Shaitanghari).
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 Na iw a lanza fiu nile imon na iba niu mung ba. Yenen! Kugwergenue din cinu u tuu among mine nan nya kilari licin inan dumun minu, iba niu nan nya nayiri li kure. Yitan ni nayi a kone uduru ukul, meng ma ni minu Litappa nlai.
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 Andi udi nin kutuf, lanza imon ile na Uruhu din belu ninlari nliru Kutell. e Ulenge na aleo likumme na ukul nmba ba seghe ba.
"'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 “Cindu udura nikilisiyan Perigamum nyerte: 'Tuo nye re ttigulan nlengee na adi nin kisangali nlikang nasariaba:
"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 “'Myen yiru kika na usosin ku-kika na lichur nshaitan nnghari. Vat nani umiin lisa nighye parrt, na usuu nntala nni kibinai fye nmi ba, wan nin nya nayirin Antipas iyizin yenu ning, unan liyisin nanya ninghe, nai wa mdu nan ninghe, kikanye na shaitan sosinku.
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 Nya nani ndi ning nimon baat ugan ninf: Udi ning namon na imiin gangan madudurzun Balaam, na awa duro Balak ku a filo kutalan tiru nbun nnonon Isruila, unang sye ilyeu imon nli njuju uhem nna kwu tichil inin su nzemzem nmulsu.
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 Libau lirumere, i di ning na le wan na imiin gangan madudursuzu na Nikolainiyawa.
So even you have some that cling in the same way to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16 Kwilzinan, nanere! An nanari ba, mba dak nfi dyedei, mba dak nin su likum kitenye minye ning kisangali na ki nuzu nanya nnuu ning.
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 Asa udi nin kutuf, lanza imeile na unangwaru din belu ikilisiyai. Cindu nlengyye na a lyeu, mba nyinghe ummong u manna nau nyeshin, nning ninghye litala libau ning lisa lipesye na i nyertinye kutalye, lisa lo na umon yiru ba nngiwaa unan serye rye yiru.
"'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 “Cindu udura ilisiyan Thyatira nyertine: 'Alenge nye rye agwulan Nsaun Kutelleh, ulenge na iyizi mye di fuo lilyem nnla nin nabunu nafuo ikoroishine na, na weltin:
"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 “'Nyire imoilee na umai ti. Usuu fye nin ntikibinai nin katwa nin terun nkotunu, wan nin nimoile na una worin nsu ikata in cizinue.
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 Nin nyanani ndi nin nimon nnari kitene fye: U yinna nin wani unye Jezebel, na adinsu amye uwa nanan nyenju nimon nchinu. Nnya madursudurzu mye, adin rusuzu a cin nnin isuu nzemnzen nmulsu nin nnli nimonnli nainakwa tichil.
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 Nna nnighye kubi a kwilin, na a yinna a kwilin ba a suun nzemzem nye ba.
I have given her time to repent, but she is determined not to repent of her fornication.
22 Yenje! Menba filu nnghe unonku ro nkonu, nin na lenge na ichindin nmolsu nanghe cin piru nijasi idya, ankuru na i kwilla nnuzu nimon nsu mye ba.
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 Mbaa dazunu nonomye ikuzu, vat niklisiyai ba nin yinnu ning woru myeri din piziru nibinai nin na nyanti nimon. Mba nnyi vat nlenge na asuu imon ile na unit risuu.
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 Nanyere kagisin minye nnyan Thyatira, cindu vat na lye na isali sa u minnu madursuzu ma nye, inin tani imoile na idinsu muun imon ichancham nshaitan-udu nnghinu ndinsu, 'Na myen ba kwin minu nmong nugetyek ku ba.'
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 Sa isu nnyiziari, uba minuarye part uchicha cin dak nin.
Only that which you already possess, cling to until I come.
26 Ulenge na alyeu nin iye na suu imoilye na myen nsuu cindu liganghe, cindu nghe mba nyi likalin kityenye timinn.
"'And to him who overcomes and obeys My commands to the very end, I will give authority over the nations of the earth.
27 'Amye ba sun tigo kityeneminye nin ncha fikoro, fuo a dul tiwing a baa puchua ni chinchwun.
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 Na fuo na nsere kitin Ncif nin, mme wang ba nnighe fibir.
and I will give him the Morning Star.
29 Asa u di nin kutuf, lanza imoile na unangwaru din bellu Iklisiyai.'
Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'
