< 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:
Chatzꞌibꞌaj we tzij riꞌ che ri komontyox ri kꞌo pa Éfeso: Ri kꞌo wuqubꞌ chꞌumil pa ri uwiqiqꞌabꞌ, ri kꞌo puꞌnikꞌajil ri wuqubꞌ kꞌolibꞌal kantela bꞌantal che qꞌana pwaq, kubꞌij:
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.
Ri in wetaꞌm ri tajin kabꞌano, ri kꞌax laj chak xuqujeꞌ ri ajeqelem. Wetaꞌm chi man kaqꞌiꞌtaj katkꞌojiꞌk kukꞌ ri itzel taq winaq. Qas xaꞌsolij na ri winaq ri kakijaluj chi e nutaqoꞌn xawil kꞌut chi xaq e bꞌanal taq tzij.
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
Qas xjeqiꞌ akꞌuꞌx xuqujeꞌ xariq kꞌax rumal ri nubꞌiꞌ, man at qꞌiꞌtajinaq ta kꞌut.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
Pune jeriꞌ at noꞌjininaq, kꞌo jun jastaq ri man utz taj wilom chawe, man kinaloqꞌaj ta chik jetaq ri xabꞌan chinuloqꞌaxik are kꞌa te wi xatkojonik.
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.
Naꞌtaj bꞌa chawe jas jeꞌ ri katnoꞌjin kan nabꞌe, chattzalij chunimaxik ri Dios. Chatzaqa kanoq ubꞌanik ri etzelal, are chawilij ubꞌanik ri utz taq chak ri kabꞌan kan nabꞌe. We man jeriꞌ kabꞌano, keꞌnqꞌata tzij paꞌwiꞌ xuqujeꞌ kinwesaj bꞌik ri kꞌolibꞌal akantela pa ri ukꞌolibꞌal.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Ri utz kinwilo che ri kabꞌano, are chi kawetzelaj ri kakibꞌan ri winaq ri kabꞌix Nicolaítas chike, are waꞌ jun jastaq ri kinwetzelaj xuqujeꞌ in.
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.
Ri kꞌo uxikin, chutatabꞌej ri kubꞌij ri Uxlabꞌixel chike ri komontyox. Ri kachꞌeken puꞌwiꞌ ri kꞌaxkꞌolal, kinya na bꞌe che kutij ri uwach ri cheꞌ ri kuya kꞌaslemal, are waꞌ ri kꞌo pa ri jun jeꞌl laj kꞌolibꞌal ri utikom ri Dios.
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:
Xuqujeꞌ chatzꞌibꞌaj che ri ángel rech ri komontyox ri kꞌo pa Esmirna: In riꞌ ri in nabꞌe xuqujeꞌ in kꞌisbꞌal, ri xinkam na kꞌa te riꞌ xinkꞌastajik:
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.
In wetaꞌm ri achak xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌax ri kariqo, je xuqujeꞌ ri amebꞌail, pune jeriꞌ at, at qꞌinom. Wetaꞌm chi ri winaq ri kakibꞌij chi aꞌj Israel kakibꞌan bꞌanoj tzij chawij pune kꞌu jeriꞌ kakibꞌano, we winaq riꞌ xaq e rachoch ri Itzel.
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.
Maxiꞌj awibꞌ che ri kꞌax ri kariq na. Ri itzel kuꞌkoj na nikꞌaj chiꞌwe pa cheꞌ, rech jeriꞌ karilo we qas jeqel ikꞌuꞌx chwij. Xuqujeꞌ kiriq na kꞌax jun lajuj qꞌij. We kꞌu kajeqiꞌ ikꞌuꞌx chwij kꞌa pa ri kamikal kinya na chiꞌwe ri korona rech jun alik kꞌaslemal.
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.
Ri kꞌo uxikin, chutatabꞌej ri kubꞌij ri Uxlabꞌixel chike ri komontyox. Ri kachꞌeken puꞌwiꞌ we jastaq riꞌ man kuriq ta ri ukabꞌ kamikal.
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
Chatzꞌibꞌaj we tzij riꞌ che ri ángel rech ri komontyox pa Pérgamo: Are waꞌ ri kubꞌij ri ajchoqꞌe ri sakꞌibꞌal ri nitzꞌ uwach kebꞌ upuꞌchiꞌ.
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.
Wetaꞌm chi chilaꞌ katel wi jawjeꞌ kꞌo wi ri utꞌuyulibꞌal ri Itzel. Pune jeriꞌ xaq jeꞌ jeqel akꞌuꞌx chwij. Man xkabꞌalaj ta akꞌuꞌx chwij pune xawilo chi xkamisax ri sukꞌalaj patanil we Antipas, ri xkamisax pa ri tinimit jawjeꞌ kꞌo wi ri Itzel.
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.
Pune jeriꞌ, kꞌo jujun jastaq ri man utz taj kinwil chawe, are chi man awetzelam taj ri kakitereneꞌj ri ukꞌutuꞌn ri Balaam. Ri Balaam xuya unoꞌj ri Balac rech xuꞌtaqchiꞌj pa mak ri aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ xukoj kikꞌuꞌx rech kakiqꞌijilaꞌj e bꞌanom taq tyox xuqujeꞌ chutijik ri jastaq ri ikꞌowisatal chikiwach ri e bꞌanom taq tyox, je xuqujeꞌ chubꞌanik makaj kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ixoqibꞌ.
15 So also you likewise have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Xuqujeꞌ man aꞌwetzelam taj ri winaq ri are kakitereneꞌj ri kikꞌutuꞌn ri winaq ri kabꞌix nicolaítas chike.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Rumal riꞌ kinbꞌij chawe chakꞌexa akꞌuꞌx, rumal cher we man kinanimaj, rukꞌ ri sakꞌibꞌal ri kel loq pa nuchiꞌ, kinpe na chubꞌanik kꞌax chawe xuqujeꞌ chike ri e tereneꞌl taq ke ri e nicolaítas
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.
Ri kꞌo uxikin chutatabꞌexik, chutatabꞌej ri kubꞌij ri Uxlabꞌixel chike ri komontyox. Ri kachꞌeken puꞌwiꞌ we jastaq riꞌ, kayaꞌtaj na che ri maná ri awatalik, xuqujeꞌ jun laj nitzꞌ saq abꞌaj jawjeꞌ ri tzꞌibꞌatal wi jun kꞌakꞌ bꞌiꞌaj ri xwi ri winaq ri kakꞌamawaꞌnik ketaꞌmanik jas ri tzꞌibꞌatal choch.
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:
Chatzꞌibꞌaj we tzij riꞌ che ri ángel ri kꞌo pa Tiatira: Are waꞌ ri kubꞌij ri Ukꞌojol ri Dios, ri kꞌo ubꞌoqꞌoch ri jer kꞌo ri qꞌaqꞌ ri kajinowik xuqujeꞌ ri raqan ri jer kꞌo qꞌanqꞌoj chꞌichꞌ ri kajuluwik. Chatatabꞌej ri kubꞌij:
19 “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
Wilom chi kuꞌlinaq akꞌuꞌx chwij, ri chak ri abꞌanom, ri aloqꞌanik, ri apatanijik xuqujeꞌ ri ajeqelem, xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌisbꞌal taq achak are nimaꞌq cho ri nabꞌe taq chak ri xabꞌano.
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.
Pune jeriꞌ katnoꞌjinik, kꞌo jun jastaq ri man utz taj wilom chawe, are chi utz kawilo chi ri jun ixoq Jezabel xaq jeꞌ tajin kuꞌtaqchiꞌj ri e patanil taq we pa mak, xuqujeꞌ ubꞌim chike chi utz kakitij ri jastaq ri tzujtal chikiwach ri e bꞌanom taq tyox, kꞌa te riꞌ kukoj kikꞌuꞌx rech man kajeqiꞌ ta kikꞌuꞌx chwij.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
Ri in nuyoꞌm na jun janipa qꞌij che rech kukꞌex ukꞌuꞌx, rech katzalij chinunimaxik, man tanalinaq ta kꞌu che ri uterenem chikij ri e bꞌanom taq tyox.
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.
Rumal riꞌ kinbꞌan na che kuriq jun nimalaj yabꞌil, ri winaq kꞌut ri kakibꞌan mak rukꞌ kakiriq na nimalaj kꞌax we man kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx che ri xketaꞌmaj rukꞌ we ixoq riꞌ.
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.
Ri e tereneꞌl taq rech we ixoq riꞌ kakiriq na yabꞌil rech kamikal. Jeriꞌ konojel ri komontyox kaketaꞌmaj na chi in kinsolin ri uchomabꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri ranimaꞌ ri winaq. Are kinya na ri kataqiꞌk chike ri winaq pa kijujunal.
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.
Are kꞌu ri ix, ri ix kꞌo xuqujeꞌ pa Tiatira ri man iwetaꞌmam ta iwe ri ukꞌutuꞌn we ixoq riꞌ xuqujeꞌ man iwetaꞌmam ta ri kabꞌix ri ukꞌuꞌx ri uchomabꞌal ri Itzel che ri awatalik, kinbꞌij chiꞌwe: Man kinya ta chi jun eqaꞌn chiꞌwij.
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
Are kꞌu ri yaꞌtal chiꞌwe chiyakaꞌ, kꞌa pa ri qꞌij ri kintzalij loq.
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
Ri kachꞌeken puꞌwiꞌ we jastaq riꞌ xuqujeꞌ kubꞌan ri urayibꞌal na kꞌuꞌx kꞌa pa ri kꞌisbꞌal re ronojel, kinya na kwinem che kabꞌan re pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri tinimit ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew.
27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots, as I also have received of my Father;
Jetaq ri ubꞌim ri Tataxel chwe in, ri winaq ri jewaꞌ kanoꞌjinik, kabꞌan na rech pa kiwiꞌ we tinimit riꞌ, rukꞌ kꞌaxal, xuqujeꞌ kuꞌpaxij na jetaq ri kabꞌan che ri tꞌuꞌy ri bꞌantal che rulewal bꞌoꞌj.
28 and I will give him the morning star.
Kinya na ri kwinem ri xuya ri Tataxel chwe in, xuqujeꞌ kinya na che ri chꞌumil rech aqꞌabꞌil.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Ri kꞌo uxikin, chutatabꞌej ri kubꞌij ri Uxlabꞌixel chike ri e komontyox.
