< 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:
“Ndik ne malaika morito kanisa man Efeso kama: Magi e weche Jal motingʼo sulwe abiriyo e lwete korachwich kendo mawuotho e kind rachungi teyni abiriyo mag dhahabu:
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.
Angʼeyo timbeni gi tichni matek kod kinda mari. Angʼeyo ni isetiyo matek kendo isetimo kinda. Angʼeyo ni imon gi joma timo timbe mamono. Angʼeyo ni isetemo joma luongore ni joote, to ok gin joote, ma iyudo ni gin jo-miriambo.
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
Isetimo kinda kendo isehori e bwo chandruok nikech nyinga, to ok iseol.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
To kata kamano an kodi gi wach; iseweyo hera mane iherago mokwongo.
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.
Omiyo parie bor mar kuma iseaye ka ipodho! Lokri iwe richo mondo itim gik mane itimo mokwongo. To ka ok ilokori to abiro biro mi agol tachi kare.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
To kata kamano nitie tim maber ma apwoyigo, to isin gi timbe maricho mag jo-Nikolao ma an bende asin-go.
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.
Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ne kanisa. Ngʼat molocho to anami adiera mar chamo olemb yadh ngima manie puotho mar Nyasaye.
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:
“Ndik ne malaika morito kanisa man Smurna kama: Magi e weche mag Jal Mokwongo kendo Mogik, Jal mane otho kendo ochier.
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.
Angʼeyo chandruokni kod dhierni to kata kamano in jamoko. Bende angʼeyo ayany ma joma wuondore ni jo-Yahudi yanyigo to gin mana joma lamo Satan.
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.
Kik iluor kuom sand ma ibiro yudo machiegni. Adier, anyisou ni Jachien biro tweyo jomoko kuomu e od twech mondo otemugo kendo ubiro yudo sandruok kuom ndalo apar. Bed ja-adiera nyaka kar tho mi anamiyi osimbo mar ngima.
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.
Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ni kanisa. Ngʼat molocho to tho mar ariyo ok notime gimoro kata matin.
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
“Ndik ne malaika morito kanisa man Pergamo kama: Magi e weche Jal man-gi ligangla mabith ma dhoge ariyo:
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.
Angʼeyo kama idakie. En kama kom duongʼ mar Satan nitie to kata kamano isebedo kirito nyinga ahinya. Bende ne ok ikwedo yie miyiego kuoma, kata mana e kinde mane Antipa janeno mara mar adier onegi e dalau kama Satan odakie.
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.
To kata kamano an kod weche matin kuomi: In kod jomoko kanyo maluwo puonj mar Balaam mane opuonjo Balak kaka onyalo ywayo jo-Israel mondo otim richo ka gichamo chiemo motimgo misango ni nyiseche manono kendo kuom richo mar chode.
15 So also you likewise have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
To bende in kod jomoko maluwo puonj mag jo-Nikolao.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Emomiyo lokri iwe richo! Nikech ka ok ilokori to abiro biro mapiyo mondo aked kodgi gi ligangla mawuok e dhoga.
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.
Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ni kanisa. Ngʼat molocho abiro miyo manna moko mopandi. Bende abiro miye kidi marachar mondikie nying manyien maonge ngʼat mongʼeyo makmana ngʼat monwangʼe.
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:
“Ndik ne malaika morito kanisa man Thuatira kama: Magi e weche mag Wuod Nyasaye ma wengene chalo gi mach makakni bende tiendene chal ka mula mapakni.
19 “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
Angʼeyo timbeni gi herani kod yie mari gi tiji mar konyo ji kod kindani. Kendo imedo tiyo maber moloyo kaka nitiyo mokwongo.
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.
Kata kamano, an kodi gi wach moro ma ok ber kuomi; iyie gi dhako miluongo ni Jezebel maluongore ni janabi madhako. En ema omiyo jotichna lal kopuonjogi mondo giterre, kendo mondo gicham chiemo motimgo misango ni nyiseche manono.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
Ne amiye kinde mondo olokre owe richo mar chode to notamore.
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.
Omiyo abiro bole e kitanda mar thagruok bende abiro miyo joma terore kode yudo thagruok malich ka ok giyie loko chunygi mi giweyo timo richo.
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.
Nyithinde bende abiro nego, mi kanise biro ngʼeyo ni An ema angʼeyo chunje gi paro mag ji bende ni anapog ngʼato ka ngʼato kaka tichne chalo.
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.
To Koro un ji mamoko duto modongʼ man Thuatira ma ok oseluwo puonjne kendo mapok ongʼeyo gima jomoko luongo ni weche mopondo mag Satan, ‘Ok aketnu tingʼ moro mapek,
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
omiyo makmana gima in-go matek nyaka abi.’
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
To ngʼat molocho kendo timo dwarona nyaka giko, abiro miyo loch kuom ogendini.
27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots, as I also have received of my Father;
‘Ngʼat molochono norit ogendini gi ludh nyinyo, kendo notogi matindo tindo ka ngʼama toyo agulu,’ mana kaka Wuora osemiya teko mar loch.
28 and I will give him the morning star.
To anamiye sulwe mar okinyi.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ni kanisa.
