< 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:
“Twerɛ krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtua Efeso asafo no ano, na ka kyerɛ no sɛ: Yei ne nsɛm a ɛfiri obi a ɔkura nsoromma nson wɔ ne nsa nifa mu a ɔnante wɔ sika nkaneadua nson no ntam no.
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.
Menim deɛ woayɛ. Menim nsi a wode ayɛ adwuma ne boasetɔ a wowɔ. Menim sɛ wonnye nnebɔneyɛfoɔ, na afei woasɔ wɔn a wɔka sɛ wɔyɛ asomafoɔ nanso wɔnnyɛ bi no ahwɛ, na woahunu sɛ wɔyɛ atorofoɔ.
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
Wowɔ boasetɔ, na me enti, woahunu amane bebree, nanso wompaa aba.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
Nanso, deɛ mewɔ tia wo ne sɛ, wonnɔ me, sɛdeɛ kan no na wodɔ me no.
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.
Hunu ba a woaba fam no. Te wo ho firi bɔne ho na yɛ sɛdeɛ kane no na woyɛ no. Sɛ woantwe wo ho amfiri wo bɔne ho a, mɛba wo nkyɛn na mabɛyi wo kaneadua no afiri ne siberɛ.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Nanso, deɛ ɛyɛ wɔ wo ho ne sɛ, wokyiri deɛ Nikolaifoɔ no yɛ no, na saa ara na me nso mekyiri.
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.
Deɛ ɔwɔ aso no ntie deɛ Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo ahodoɔ no bi. Wɔn a wɔadi nkonim no, mɛma wɔn tumi na wɔadi nkwadua a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn paradise hɔ.
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:
“Twerɛ krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtua Smirna asafo no ano sɛ: Saa asɛm yi firi Ahyɛaseɛ ne Awieeɛ no nkyɛn. Deɛ ɔwuiɛ na ɔnyaneeɛ no.
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.
Menim amane a wohunu maa Awurade na menim wʼahiasɛm nyinaa nso, nanso wowɔ agyapadeɛ wɔ ɔsoro. Menim nsɛm a wɔn a wɔse wɔyɛ Yudafoɔ nanso wɔnyɛ Yudafoɔ no ka tia wo. Wɔyɛ ɔbonsam apamfoɔ.
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.
Nsuro ɔhaw a ɛrebɛto wo no. Tie! Wɔde mo mu bi bɛto afiase na ɔbonsam nam so asɔ mo ahwɛ. Na mo haw bɛdi dadu. Sɛ owuo mu mpo a, gye me di na mɛma wo nkwa abotire.
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.
Deɛ ɔwɔ aso no ntie deɛ Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo no. Wɔn a wɔdi nkonim no renwu owuprenu.
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
“Twerɛ krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔwɔ Pergamo asafo mu sɛ: Saa krataa yi firi deɛ ɔwɔ akofena anofanu a ɛyɛ nnam no nkyɛn.
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.
Menim sɛ faako a wote no, ɛhɔ na ɔbonsam ahennwa si. Wodi me nokorɛ; na ɛberɛ a wɔkumm Antipa a ɔyɛ ɔdanseni nokwafoɔ wɔ faako a ɔbonsam te no mpo, woampa me.
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.
Nanso, nneɛma kakra a mewɔ tia wo ne sɛ, nnipa bi a wɔdi Bileam nkyerɛkyerɛakyi no ka wo ho wɔ hɔ. Saa Bileam no na ɔkyerɛɛ Balak maa ɔmaa Israelfoɔ dii abosom so nnuane, kyerɛɛ wɔn adwamammɔ, nam so ma wɔyɛɛ bɔne no.
15 So also you likewise have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Saa ara nso na wowɔ nnipa bi ka wo ho a wɔdi Nikolaifoɔ nkyerɛkyerɛ akyi.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Twe wo ho firi wo bɔne ho. Anyɛ saa a, ɛrenkyɛre biara mɛba wo nkyɛn, na mede sekan a ɛfiri mʼanom no abɛko atia saa nnipa no.
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.
Deɛ ɔwɔ aso no ntie deɛ Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo ahodoɔ no. Mo a moadi nkonim no, mɛma mo mana a ahinta no bi. Afei, mɛma wɔn mu biara ɛboɔ fitaa a wɔatwerɛ din foforɔ wɔ so a obiara nnim, gye onipa a wɔde bɛma no no.
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:
“Twerɛ krataa kɔma ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔwɔ Tiatira asafo mu sɛ: Yei ne asɛm a ɛfiri Onyankopɔn Ba no a nʼani dɛre sɛ ogyaframa a ne nan ase hyerɛn sɛ ayowaa no nkyɛn.
19 “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
Menim deɛ woyɛ. Menim wo dɔ, wo gyidie, wo som ne boasetɔ a wowɔ. Menim sɛ woreyɛ adwuma sene kane no.
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.
Nanso deɛ mewɔ tia wo ne sɛ, wogyee ɔbaa bi a ne din de Isabel, a ɔfrɛ ne ho, Onyankopɔn odiyifoɔ no too mu. Saa ɔbaa yi kyerɛkyerɛ, na ɔdi mʼasomafoɔ anim ma wɔbɔ adwaman di abosom aduane.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
Mama no ɛberɛ sɛ ɔnnu ne ho mfiri ne bɔne mu, nanso ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔsakyera firi nʼadwamammɔ mu.
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.
Ɛno enti, sɛ wɔansesa amfiri amumuyɛ a wɔne no yɛeɛ no mu a, mɛto no ahwe mpa so na ɔno ne wɔn a wɔsɛe awadeɛ no ahunu amane a ano yɛ den yie.
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.
Afei, mɛkum nʼakyidifoɔ no, na asafo no nyinaa bɛhunu sɛ mene obi a mehunu nnipa adwene mu ne wɔn akɔnnɔ. Deɛ mo mu biara yɛeɛ no, mɛtua no so ka pɛpɛɛpɛ.
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.
Nanso, momu bi a mowɔ Tiatira no nni saa nkyerɛkyerɛ bɔne no akyi. Monsuaa deɛ afoforɔ frɛ no ‘Ɔbonsam asumansɛm’ no. Meka mekyerɛ mo sɛ, meremfa adesoa foforɔ biara nto mo so.
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
Na monsɔ deɛ mowɔ no mu denden kɔsi sɛ mɛba.
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
Wɔn a wɔdi nkonim na wɔkɔ so yɛ deɛ mepɛ kɔsi awieeɛ no, mede tumi korɔ no ara a menya firii
27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots, as I also have received of my Father;
mʼAgya hɔ no bɛma wɔn. Mɛma wɔn aman so tumi na wɔde dadeɛ poma adi wɔn so na wɔabobɔ wɔn sɛ nkukuo.
28 and I will give him the morning star.
Afei, mede anɔpa nsoromma bɛma wɔn.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Deɛ ɔwɔ aso no ntie deɛ Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo no.
