< Revelation 2 >

1 To the agent of the congregation in Ephesus write, These things says he who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:
Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Efeso jhandikayi: 'Agha ndo malobhi gha jhola jhaikamu ila matonda ghala saba mu kibhoko kya muene kya kuume. Muene jhaigenda mu finara fya dhahabu fya taa saba ijobha naha,”
2 I know thy works, and thy toil, and thy perseverance, and that thou cannot tolerate evil, and thou examined those who say themselves to be apostles, and are not, and found them false.
“Nimanyili kyaukhelili ni bidii jha jhobhi jha mbombo ni uvumilivu bhwa jhobhi thabiti, ni kwamba ghwibhwesya lepi kuhusiana nabhu bhabhajhele bhaovu, na ubhajaribu bhoha bhabhikikuta kujha mitume kumbe lepi, na bhabhonekene kujha bhadesi.
3 And thou have perseverance. And thou endured because of my name, and did not become weary.
Nimanyili kujha ujhe ni subira ni uvumilivu, na ubhwesi ghamehele kwa ndabha jha lihina lya nene, na utondilepi bado.
4 Nevertheless, I have against thee because thou left thy first love.
Lakini ele ndo lyanijhe nalu dhidi jha jhobhi, ughulekili upendo ghwa jhobhi bhwa kubhwandelu.
5 Remember therefore from where thou have fallen, and repent and do the first works. And if not, I come to thee quickly, and will move thy lampstand out of its place, if thou do not repent.
Kwa hiyo ukhombokayi pa ubinili, ukatubuajhi ni kubhomba matendo ghaubhombeghe kuh'omela kubhuandu. Ukabelayi kutubu, nibeta kuhida kwa bhebhe ni kukibhosya kinara kya jhobhi kuh'oma mahali pa kyene.
6 But this thou have, that thou hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Lakini bhebhe ujhe ni ele, ghwidada ghala ambagho Bhanikolai bhaghabhombili, ambagho hata ni ghadadili.
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. To him who overcomes, I will give him to eat from the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of my God.
Kama ujhe ni mb'olokoto, pelekesiajhi ghala ambagho Roho akaghajobhela makanisa. Na jhaibeta kushinda nibeta kumpela kibali kya kulya kuhoma mu libehe lya uzima lyajhele mu Paradiso jha K'yara.'
8 And to the agent of the congregation in Smyrna write, These things says the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:
“Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Smirna jhandikayi: 'Agha ndo malobhi gha jhola. ambajhe ndo mwanzo ni mwishu ambajhe afuili ni kujha hai kabhele:
9 I know thy works and tribulation and poverty (but thou are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say themselves to be Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
“Nimanyili malombosi ghako ni umaskini bhwa jhobhi (lakini bhebhe ndo tajiri), ni udesi bhwa bhala bhabhikikuta bhayahudi (lakini lepi - bhene ndo sinagogi lya syetani).
10 Fear none of the things that thou are going to suffer. Behold, the devil is indeed going to cast some of you into prison, so that ye may be tried, and ye will have tribulation ten days. Become thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.
Usitili malombosi ghaghibeta kukabha. Langayi! Ibilisi ilonda kubhatagha baadhi jha muenga muligereza ili mubhwesiajhi kujaribibhwa, na mwibeta kutesibhwa kwa magono kumi. Mujhelayi mwebhaaminifu hadi kufwa, na nibeta kubhapela taji jha uzima.
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. He who overcomes will, no, not be hurt from the second death.
Kama ujhe ni mb'olokoto, pelekesiajhi Roho kyaakaghajobhela makanisa. Muene jha ibeta kushinda ibetalepi kukabha mauti gha pili.'
12 And to the agent of the congregation in Pergamos write, These things says he who has the sharp two-edged sword:
Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Pergamo jhandikayi: 'Agha ndo ghaijobha muene jhaajhe ni upanga obhu mkali, bhwabhujhe ni makali kubhele.
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwell, where Satan's throne is. And thou hold firm my name, and did not deny my faith in the days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was killed among you where Satan dwells.
“Nimanyili mahali paghwitama mahali pa kijhele kiti kya enzi kya shetani. Hata naha bhebhe ulikamuili sana lihina lya nene, na ghwajhibelili lepi imani jha jhobhi jhaijhele kwa nene hata magono ghala gha Antipasi shahidi ghwa nene, mwaminifu ghwa nene, jhaakhomibhu miongoni mwa jhomu, apu ndo syetani itama.
14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou have there men who adhere to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, even to eat idol sacrifices, and to fornicate.
Lakini nijheni mambo madebe dhidi jha bhebhe: ujhe nabhu okhu bhanu bhabhikamula mafundisu gha Balaamu, muene jhaamfundisi Balaki kubheka fikwazo palongolo jha bhene bha Israeli ili bhaliajhi fyakulya fya fipisibhu sadaka kwa masieto ni kuzini.
15 So also thou have men who likewise adhere to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Mu hali ejhu hata bhebhe ujhe ni baadhi jha bhene bhikamula mafundisu gha Bhanikolai.
16 Repent therefore, and if not I come to thee quickly, and will war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Basi tubuajhi! Na ubelili kukheta naha, nihida manyata, na nibeta kukheta vita dhidi jha bhene kwa upanga bhwa bhwihomela mu kinywa kya nene.
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. To him who overcomes, I will give him to eat of the hidden manna. And I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which none knows except he who receives it.
Kama ujhe ni mb'olokoto, pelekesiajhi Roho kya ikabhajobhela makanisa. Muene jha ibeta kushinda nibeta kumpela baadhi jha jhela mana jhajhafighibhu, kabhele nibeta kumpela liganga libhalabhu lya litembibhu lihina lipya panani pa liganga, lihina ambalya ajhelepi jha alimanyili isipokujha muene jhaakalipokela.'
18 And to the agent of the congregation in Thyatira write, These things says the Son of God, who has his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet resembling highly refined metal:
Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Thiatira jhandikayi: “Agha ndo malobhi gha mwana ghwa K'yara, muene jha ajhe ni mihu gha muene kama mwali ghwa muoto, ni jhayu kama shaba jhajhisugulibhu nasu:
19 I know thy works, and thy love and faith and service and perseverance. And thy last works are more than the first.
Nimanyili gha ubhombili - upendo bhwa jhobhi ni imani ni huduma ni uvumilivu bhwa jhobhi thabiti, ni kujha khela kya ukhetili naha karibuni ndo zaidi jha khela kya abhombili kubhuandu.
20 Nevertheless, I have against thee that thou tolerate thy woman Jezebel. She calls herself a prophetess, and teaches and leads astray my bondmen to fornicate, and to eat idol sacrifices.
Lakini nijhe ni e'le dhidi jha bhebhe: ukamvumilila n'dala Yezebeli jhaikikuta muene nabii n'dala. Kwa mafundisu gha muene, akabhapotosya bhatumishi bha nene kuzini ni kulya kyakulya kya kipisibhu sadaka kwa sanamu.
21 And I gave her time so that she would repent, and she did not want to repent of her fornication.
Nampelili muda bhwa kutubu, lakini ajhelepi tayari kutubila uovu bhwa muene.
22 Behold, I throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, if they do not repent of her works.
Langayi! Nibetakun'tagha mu kitanda kya maradhi, ni bhala bhabhibhomba uasherati naku mu malombosi makali, vinginevyo bhatubuajhi kwa kyabhakhetili.
23 And I will kill her children in death. And all the congregations will know that I am he who searches the inner feelings and hearts. And I will give to you-to each-according to your works.
Nibeta kubhatobha bhana bhabhi bhafuajhi ni makanisa ghoha ghibetakumanya nene ndo nikaghalangilila mawazo ni tamaa. Nibeta kumpela khila mmonga bhinu kadri jha matendo gha muene.
24 But I say to you, to those remaining in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who do not know, as they say, the deep things of Satan, I do not cast upon you another burden.
Lakini kwa baadhi jha muenga jhamubakili mu Thiatira, kwa bhala mwebhoha jha mkamuili lepi lifundisu e'le, na jha mumanyilepi khela ambakyo baadhi bhikuta mafumbo gha shetani, nijobha kwa muenga, 'Nibeta lepi kubheka kwa muenga n'sighu ghoghuoha ghola.'
25 But hold firm what ye have until I come.
Kwa lijambo lyolyoha, lazima mujhelayi imara mpaka panibeta kuhida.
26 And he who overcomes, and he who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
Jhejhioha jhaibeta kushinda ni kubhomba khela kya nibhomba I mpaka kumwisu, muene nibeta kumpela mamlaka panani pa mataifa.
27 And he will tend them with a rod of iron (they will be shattered like ceramic vessels), as I also have received from my Father.
'Ibetakubhatawala kwa ndongo jha chuma, kama makaburi gha udongo, ibetakubhatenya fipandi.'
28 And I will give him the morning star.
Kama kyanipokili kuhoma kwa Dadi jhangu, nibeta kumpela kabhele litondo lya lukhela.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
Ukajhelayi ni mb'olokoto, pelekesiajhi khela ambakyo Roho akaghajobhela makanisa.'
