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:
“A zanj nan legliz Éphèse la, ekri: Sila ki kenbe sèt zetwal yo nan men dwat Li a, Sila ki mache pami sèt chandelye fèt an lò yo, di sa a:
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.
“Mwen konnen zèv nou yo, travay di nou an, ak pèseverans nou, ke nou pa kapab tolere moun mechan, e nou te pase an eprèv sa yo ki rele tèt yo apòt, lè l pa t vrè, epi te twouve yo fo.
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
Nou gen pèseverans ak andirans pou koz a non Mwen, e nou pa t bouke.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
“Men Mwen gen sa kont nou, ke nou kite premye lanmou nou an.
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.
Alò, sonje kote nou te tonbe a, epi repanti e fè zèv ke nou te fè avan yo; sinon Mwen ap vini kote nou pou retire chandelye nou an nan plas li, amwenske nou repanti.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Poutan nou genyen sa a, ke nou rayi zèv Nikolayityen yo, ke Mwen menm, Mwen rayi tou.
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.
“Sila ki gen yon zòrèy la, kite li tande sa Lespri a di a legliz yo. A sila ki venkè a, Mwen va kite l manje nan pyebwa lavi a ki nan Paradi Bondye a.
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:
“A zanj legliz Smyrne lan, ekri: Premye ak dènye a, ki te mouri an, e ki te retounen a lavi a, di sa a:
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.
Mwen konnen tribilasyon ak povrete nou (men nou rich); epi blasfèm pa sila ki di yo se Jwif men ki pa sa yo, men ki se yon sinagòg pou 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.
“Pa pè pou sa nou prèt pou soufri yo. Veye, dyab la prèt pou voye kèk nan nou nan prizon, pou nou kab pase a leprèv, e nou va gen tribilasyon pandan di jou. Rete fidèl jiska lanmò, e mwen va bannou kouwòn lavi a.
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.
“Sila ki gen yon zòrèy la, kite l tande sa Lespri a di a legliz yo. Sila ki venkè a, p ap soufri donmaj pa dezyèm lanmò a.
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
“A zanj legliz nan Pergame nan, ekri: Sila a ki gen nepe file de bò a, di sa a:
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.
Mwen konnen kote nou rete, kote twòn a Satan an ye. Nou kenbe fèm nan Non Mwen, e nou pa t nye lafwa nan Mwen an, menm nan jou Antipas yo, temwen Mwen an, fidèl Mwen an, ki te touye pami nou, kote Satan rete a.
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.
“Men Mwen gen kèk bagay kont nou; paske nou gen la kèk moun ki kenbe nan ansèyman Balaam, ki te ansenye Balak pou mete yon wòch chite devan fis Israël yo, pou manje bagay ki te sakrifye a zidòl e komèt zak imoral.
15 So also you likewise have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Konsa tou, nou gen kèk moun ki, nan menm jan an, k ap kenbe sou ansèyman Nikolayityen yo.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
“Konsa, repanti; sinon, Mwen va vini kote nou vit, e Mwen va fè lagè kont yo avèk nepe a bouch Mwen an.
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.
“Sila ki gen yon zòrèy la, kite l tande sa Lespri a di a legliz yo. A sila ki venkè a, a li menm, Mwen va bay kèk nan lamàn kache a, e Mwen va ba li yon wòch blan avèk yon non tounèf ki ekri sou wòch la ke pèsòn p ap konnen, sinon sila ki resevwa l la.
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:
“A zanj a legliz nan Thyatire a, ekri: Fis Bondye a, ki gen zye tankou yon flanm dife a e pye tankou bwonz poli a, di sa a:
19 “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
Mwen konnen zèv nou yo, lanmou nou, lafwa, sèvis, ak pèseverans, e ke zèv nou dènye tan sa yo pi gran pase avan yo.
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.
“Men Mwen gen sa kont nou, ke nou tolere fanm Jézabel la, ki rele tèt li pwofetès, e ki ansenye pou fè egare sèvitè Mwen yo, pou yo kab komèt vye zak imoral e manje bagay sakrifye a zidòl.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
Mwen te ba li tan pou repanti, e li pa vle repanti de imoralite li yo.
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.
“Gade byen, Mwen va jete li sou yon kabann plen maladi, e sila ki fè adiltè yo avèk li nan gran tribilasyon an, amwenske yo repanti de zèv li yo.
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.
Konsa, Mwen va touye pitit li yo avèk gwo maladi lapès, e tout legliz yo va konnen ke Mwen menm se Sila ki sonde panse ak kè yo. Mwen va bay nou chak selon zèv nou.
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.
“Men Mwen di nou, rès moun ki nan Thyatire yo, ki pa kenbe a doktrin sila a, ki pa t konnen bagay pwofon a Satan yo, jan yo rele yo a, Mwen pa mete lòt fado sou nou.
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
Sepandan kenbe fèm a sa nou genyen an jiskaske M vini.
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
“Sila ki venkè a, e sila ki kenbe zèv Mwen yo jiska lafen an, a li menm Mwen va bay otorite sou nasyon yo.
27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots, as I also have received of my Father;
Li va gouvène yo avèk yon baton fè, tankou veso ajil ki vin kraze an mòso, jan Mwen menm te resevwa otorite soti nan Papa M nan;
28 and I will give him the morning star.
epi Mwen va ba li zetwal maten an.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
“Sila ki gen yon zòrèy la, kite l tande sa Lespri a di a legliz yo”.
