Revelation 2
1 To the Angel of the Church in Ephesus write: — “These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, and walks among the seven golden lamps: —
Diani Kilisiti n yini yaaba, yaaba n ye Efesa po yaa maleko po ki yedi o: diidi ki le yua n muubi a ŋmabileleeda o najienu nni, ki go cuoni wula fidisantuan-kaani lelee siiga yeni yedi:
2 I know your life, your toil and endurance, and I know that you cannot tolerate evil-doers. I know, too, how you tested those who declare that they are Apostles, though they are not, and how you proved them false.
N bani a bontienkaala, leni a tuona, leni a juunli; n bani ke a kan tuo bi nibiadiba po. A den biigi yaaba n tua ke bi tie tondiba kinaa tie yeni, ki sua ke bi tie tuofadanba.
3 You possess endurance, and have borne much for my Name, and have never grown weary.
A pia li juunli, a laa fala kelima n yeli po, ki naa den cedi baa waamu.
4 But this I have against you — You have abandoned your first love.
Ama min fu leni a yaala, tie ke a ŋa a buakpiama.
5 Therefore remember from what you have fallen, and repent, and live the life that you lived before; or else, I will come and remove your Lamp from its place, unless you repent.
Lanwani ŋan tiadi ŋan baa naani, ki lebidi a yama, ki go ya tiendi nani ŋan den kpa tiendi maama. Lani yaaka, n baa cua a kani ki tuadi a fidisantuankaanu ki ñani u u kaanu, hali a yaa lebidi a yama.
6 But this is in your favour — You hate the life lived by the Nikolaitans, and I also hate it.
Baa yeni, a pia line wani, kelima a nani nikolasa ŋoadikaaba bontienkaala, mini moko n nani yaala.
7 Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. To him who conquers — to him I will give the right ‘to eat the fruit of the Tree of life, which stands in the Paradise of God.’ “
Yua n pia a tuba, wan cengi mi Fuoma n tua Kilisiti n yini yaaba nitaana yaala. Yua n koani mi jama ki paadi n baa pa o wan ya ti di li miali tibu, yaabu n ye U Tienu ŋalijani diema nni bonluonkaala.
8 To the Angel of the Church in Smyrna write: — “These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died, but is restored to life: —
Diani Kilisitin yini yaaba similina po ya maleki po ki yedi o: Diidi ki le o kpialo leni o juodikoa, wani yua n den kpe, ki go ye ki fo yedi line:
9 I know your persecution and your poverty — yet you are rich! I know, too, the slander that comes from those who declare that they are Jews, though they are not, but are a Congregation of Satan.
N bani ŋan ye leni ya fala leni a luoma (ba ke a pia) n go bani yaaba n tua ke bi tie jufinba ki naa tie yeni, n maadi yi po tuofamaama, bi tie sutaani nitaanli yaaba.
10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. The Devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tempted, and may undergo persecution for ten days. Be faithful even to death, and I will give you the Crown of Life.
Han da jie, ŋan baa le ya fala diidi sutaani baa kuani yi siiga bi nitianba li kadidieli nni lani ki biigi yi, bi baa waani yi fala dana piiga. ya tie nidugika, hali mi kuuma lani n baa pa ŋa li miali ya badifogiliga.
11 Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. He who conquers shall suffer no hurt from the Second Death.”
Yua n pia a tuba, wan cengi mi fuoma n tua Kilisiti n yini yaaba nitaana yaala yua n koani mi jama ki paadi, mi kuliedima fala kan pundi o.
12 To the Angel of the Church in Pergamus write: — “These are the words of him who holds the sharp two-edged sword: —
Diani Kilisiti n yini yaaba peligama po, ya maleki po ki yedi o: diidi yua n kubi ki jugisieñoaliedi manga n yedi line:
13 I know where you dwell, where the Throne of Satan stands. And yet you hold to my Name, and you did not disown my Faith even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death among you where Satan dwells.
N bani a ye kaanu, likani tie Sutaani balikalikaanu n ye naani, a kubi n yeli, ŋaa nia li dandanli, baa ban den kpa n nidugika anti pasa ya dana nni yi dogu nni Sutaani n ye naani.
14 Yet I have a few things against you — You have among you those who hold to the Teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put temptations in the way of the Israelites, so that they should eat idol-offerings and commit licentious acts.
Ama a pia min nani yaala a kani, li tie ke a pia a kani yaaba n ŋua balaama bangima, yua n den bangi balaaka ke o tulini isalele yaaba ke bi ŋmani ti padi nandi ki go conbi.
15 Again you have among you those who hold in the same way to the Teaching of the Nikolaitans.
Li go tie yeni, ke a moko pia a kani yaaba moko n ŋua nikolasa bangima.
16 Therefore repent, or else, I will come quickly and contend with such men with words that will cut like a sword.
Han lebidi a yama, lani yaaka, n baa cua a kani ke li kan waagi, ki koani leni laa niba leni n ñoabu jugisiega.
17 Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. To him who conquers — to him I will give a share of the mystic manna, and I will give him a white stone; and on the stone shall be inscribed a new name, which no one knows except him who receives it.”
Yua n pia a tuba, wan cengi mi Fuoma n tua Kilisiti n yini yaaba nitaana yaala. Yua n koani mi jama ki paadi, n baa pa o ya mana n wuo, ki go pa o li tanpienli, ban diani li yepanli yaali ya po, oba kuli ki bani li kali yua n baa litanpienli bebe.
18 To the Angel of the Church in Thyatira write: — “These are the words of the Son of God, ‘whose eyes are like flaming fire, and whose feet are like brass’: —
Diani Kilisiti n yini yaaba tiatila po, ya maleki po ki yedi o: Utienu Bijua, yua ya nuni n nani u mupienu yeni, ke o taana mo tie nani ya kumoandi n ñuliti yeni, n yedi yaala n te na.
19 I know your life, your love, faith, service, and endurance; and I know that your life of late has been better than it was at first.
n bani a bontienkaala, leni a buama, a dandanli leni a todima nitoaba po, leni a juunli. ŋan go yuandi ki tieni ya tuonŋama yabi ki cie, a kpiala.
20 Yet I have this against you — You tolerate the woman Jezebel, who declares that she is a Prophetess, and misleads my servants by her teaching, till they commit licentious acts and eat idol-offerings.
Ama min fu leni a yaala yaapo tie a cedi ke ya pua n yi Jesabela, yua n tua ke o tie sawalipoalo, bangi n naacenba ki tulini ba, ke bi tiendi mi conconma, ki go ŋmani ti padinandi.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she is determined not to turn from her licentiousness.
N den puni o u yogunu wan lebidi o yama o conconma po.
22 Therefore I am laying her upon a bed of sickness, and bringing great suffering upon those who are unfaithful with her, unless they repent and turn from a life like hers.
Diidi, n baa lu o u duanu po, ki taani leni yaaba n conbi leni o kuli, ki waani ba o falabiado, kali bi lebidi bi yama bi tuona po.
23 I will also put her children to death; and all the Churches shall learn that I am he who ‘looks into the hearts and souls of men’; and I will give to each one of you what his life deserves.
N ba cedi mi kuuma n kpa o bila, lani kilisiti n yini yaaba nitaana kuli baa bandi ke n tie yua n bigidi bi niba yantiana leni bi pala kuli, ki go baa pa yi siiga yua kuli o panpaani nani yi tuona n tie maama.
24 But I say to the rest of you at Thyatira — all who do not accept such teaching, whose who did not learn ‘the secrets of Satan,’ as men call them — I am not laying on you any further burden;
Yinba, leni Tiatila yaaba, yaaba n sieni kaa ŋoadi laa bangima, kaa bandi Sutaani ŋasiili, nani ban yi ba maama n yedi yi: N kan tuni yi tugitoali,
25 only hold fast to what you have received, until I come.
kali yin yaa kubi yin kubi yaala bonŋanla, hali min baa cua.
26 To him who conquers and is careful to live my life to the end — to him I will give authority over the nations,
Yua n koani mi jama ki paadi, ki kubi n tuona hali mi juodima, n baa dini o li bali, wan yaa die i nibuoli.
27 and ‘he shall rule them with an iron rod, as when earthen vessels are broken in pieces’ (as I myself have received from my Father)
O ba ti yaa gobidiba leni ti kudi yaa badi- gbianu, nani ban mudi ti tandi tiadi maama yeni. nani mini n ba, min ba li bali n Baa kani maama yeni.
28 and I will give him the Morning Star.
n go ba ti pa o ki taŋaŋmabiga.
29 Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.”
Yua n pia a tuba, wan cengi mi Fuoma n tua Kilisiti n yini yaaba nitaana yaala.
