Isambulo 2
1 Kuso isithunywa sebandla leEfesu bhala uthi: Lezizinto uyazitsho lowo ophethe inkanyezi eziyisikhombisa esandleni sakhe sokunene, ohamba phakathi kweziqobane zezibane zegolide eziyisikhombisa,
—Sonika kuidi mbasi yi dibundu di Efeso: “Tala mantuba mutu wowo simbidi tsambudi di zimbuetete mu koko kuandi ku lubakala ayi wundiatila va khatitsika tsambudi di bima biobi beti tetika minda, bima biobi biba bi nolo:
2 uthi: Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, lomsebenzi wakho onzima, lokubekezela kwakho, lokuthi ungebamele ababi, lokuthi ubahlolile labo abazithi bangabaphostoli kodwa bengeyisibo, wasubathola bengabaqambimanga,
Nzebi mavanga maku ayi ziphasi ziaku mu kisalu ayi mvibudulu aku. Ayi nzebi ti wulendi kanga ko ntima bu wulembo talanga batu bambimbi ayi ngeyo wutota batu beti tuba ti badi bamvuala vayi basi bamvuala ko, ayi, ngeyo wuba mona badi bankua luvunu.
3 wasuthwala, ulokubekezela, wakhuthala ngenxa yebizo lami, kawudinwanga.
Mvibudulu widi yaku, wukanga ntima mu ziphasi mu diambu di dizina diama ayi wusia vonga ko.
4 Kodwa ngilokumelene lawe ukuthi udelile uthando lwakho lwakuqala.
Vayi diambu ndibeki diawu diadi: ngeyo wulozidi luzolo luaku lutheti.
5 Ngakho khumbula lapho owe khona, ubusuphenduka wenze imisebenzi yakuqala; uba kungenjalo, ngizakuza kuwe ngokuphangisa, ngizasusa isiqobane sesibane sakho endaweni yaso, uba ungaphenduki;
Bika wutebuka moyo vovo wubuididi; balula mavanga ayi vanga mavanga matheti. Bila enati buawu ko, buna ndiela kuiza kuidi ngeyo ayi ndiela botula kima kioki beti tetika muindꞌaku va buangu kiandi enati wukadi balula mavanga.
6 kanti ulalokhu ukuthi uyayizonda imisebenzi yamaNikolayitha, engiyizondayo lami.
Tala diambu dimosi di mboti didi yaku: wunlendanga mavanga ma Banikolayite; minu mamvama ndieti kumalenda.
7 Lowo olendlebe kezwe lokho akutshoyo uMoya emabandleni. Onqobayo ngizamnika ukuthi adle okwesihlahla sempilo esiphakathi kweParadise likaNkulunkulu.
Bika, woso widi matu, kawa mantuba pheve kuidi mabundu. Kuidi woso wela nunga, ndiela kumvana minsua mu dia mimbutu mi nti wu luzingu widi mu Paladisu di Nzambi.”
8 Lakuso isithunywa sebandla leSemerna bhala uthi: Lezizinto utsho owokuqala lowokucina, owayefile njalo uyaphila:
—Sonika kuidi mbasi yi dibundu di Similini: “Tala mambu mantuba mutu wowo widi wutheti ayi wutsuka, mutu wowo wufua ayi widi moyo:
9 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi lokuhlupheka lobuyanga bakho (kanti unothile) lenhlamba yalabo abathi bangamaJuda, kanti bengeyisiwo, kodwa belisinagoge likaSathane.
Nzebi ziphasi ziaku ayi sukama kuaku. Muaki widi nkua kimvuama ayi nzebi bifingu bi batu bobo beti tuba ti badi Bayuda vayi basi Bayuda ko. Bawu badi nzo yi lukutukunu yi Satana.
10 Ungesabi lutho lwalezozinto ozahlupheka ngazo; khangela udiyabhola uzaphosela abanye kini entolongweni, ukuze lilingwe; futhi lizakuba lenhlupheko insuku ezilitshumi. Bana ngothembekileyo kuze kube sekufeni, njalo ngizakunika umqhele wempilo.
Kadi mona tsisi mu ziphasi zikuvingila. Tala satana weka kuiza lozi bankaka mu beno mu nloko muingi balutota. Ayi luela mona ziphasi mu tezo ki dikumi di bilumbu. Kala wukuikama nate ku lufua, buna ndiela kuvana budu ki luzingu.
11 Olendlebe kezwe lokho akutshoyo uMoya emabandleni. Onqobayo kasoze alinyazwa yikufa kwesibili.
Bika, woso widi matu, kawa mantuba Pheve kuidi mabundu. Woso wela nunga kalendi mona phasi ko mu lufua lunzole.”
12 Lakuso isithunywa sebandla elisePergamo bhala uthi: Lezizinto utsho lowo olenkemba ebukhali inhlangothi zombili:
—Sonika kuidi mbasi yi dibundu di Pelingami: “Tala mambu mantuba mutu wowo simbidi sabala kisekoso bumboti, iidi meno mu zindambu zizole:
13 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, lalapho ohlala khona, lapho okukhona isihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane; njalo ugcinile ibizo lami, kawuphikanga ukholo lwami, ngitsho ensukwini zikaAntipasi, umfakazi wami othembekileyo, owabulawelwa phakathi kwenu, lapho uSathane ahlala khona;
Nzebi kuevi weta vuanda; nzebi ti kuawu kuidi kundu ki Satana ayi ngeyo simbididi ngolo dizina diama ayi wusia tunuka ko minu kiama mu bilumbu bi Antipasi, mbangi ama yi kuikama, yivondo kuidi beno; koko kumvuandanga satana.
14 kodwa ngilezinto ezinlutshwana ezimelene lawe, ukuthi ulabo lapho ababambelela emfundisweni kaBalami, owafundisa uBalaki ukuphosa isikhubekiso phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, sokuthi badle okuhlatshelwe izithombe lokuthi baphinge.
Vayi mambu mafioti ndibeki: ngeyo widi ayi batu basimbididi malongi ma Balami, mutu wulonga Balaki mu leka ntambu va ntuala bana ba Iseli. Wuzola ti badia bima bitambuku kuidi bitumba ayi bakiyekula mu kitsuza.
15 Ngokunjalo lawe ulabo ababambelela emfundisweni yamaNikolayitha, into engiyizondayo.
Buna ngeyo widi diaka ayi batu bobo bansimbidila malongi ma Banikolayite.
16 Phenduka; uba kungenjalo, ngizakuza kuwe ngokuphangisa, ngizakulwa ngimelene labo ngenkemba yomlomo wami.
Diawu balula mavanga; bila enati buawu ko, buna ndieka kuiza nsualu kuidi ngeyo ayi ndiela kuba nuanisina mu sabala ki munuꞌama.
17 Olendlebe kezwe lokho akutshoyo uMoya emabandleni. Onqobayo ngizamnika ukuthi adle okwemana efihliweyo, njalo ngizamnika ilitshe elimhlophe, laphezu kwelitshe ibizo elitsha elilotshiweyo, okungelamuntu olaziyo ngaphandle kolemukelayo.
Bika, woso widi matu, kawa mantuba pheve kuidi mabundu. Kuidi woso wela nunga, ndiela kumvana mana yisueko ayi ndielakumvana ditadi diphembi. Mu ditadi beni musonama dizina dimona dikambulu zaba kadi mutu wumosi botula kaka mutu wowo wuntambula diawu.”
18 Lakuso isithunywa sebandla eliseTiyathira bhala uthi: Lezizinto itsho iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, elamehlo ayo anjengelangabi lomlilo, lenyawo zayo zifanana lethusi elikhazimulayo:
—Sonika kuidi mbasi yi dibundu di Tiatila: “Tala mambu mantuba Muana Nzambi, widi meso madi banga minlaki mi mbazu, malu madedikini banga sengo kibuakusu ku mbazu:
19 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, lothando, lokukhonza, lokholo, lokubekezela kwakho, lemisebenzi yakho, ukuthi eyokucina minengi kuleyokuqala.
Nzebi mavanga maku ayi luzolo luaku, minu kiaku kisalu kiaku, mvibuduluꞌaku ayi mavanga maku matsuka maviokidi momo matheti.
20 Kodwa ngilezinto ezinlutshwana ezimelene lawe, ukuthi uvumele owesifazana uJezebeli, ozibiza ngokuthi ungumprofethikazi, ukufundisa aduhise inceku zami, ukuthi ziphinge lokuthi zidle okuhlatshelwe izithombe.
Vayi diambu ndibeki: wulembo talanga kuaku nketo wowo Zezabeli, nketo wowo weti tuba ti niandi widi mbikudi wu nketo; niandi weti longa ayi weti zimbisa bisadi biama bu keti kuba vukumuna mu vanganga kitsuza ayi mu dia bima bitambuku kuidi bitumba.
21 Futhi ngamnika ithuba lokuthi aphenduke ekufebeni kwakhe, njalo kaphendukanga.
Ndimbikila thangu muingi kabalula mavanga vayi mengi balula mavanga mandi ma kitsuza kiandi.
22 Khangela mina ngizamphosela embhedeni, labaphingayo laye ekuhluphekeni okukhulu, uba bengaphenduki emisebenzini yabo.
Tala, ndieka kunloza va mfulu yi ziphasi va kimosi ayi batu bobo bamvanganga yandi kitsuza enati bakadi balula mavanga.
23 Njalo ngizabulala abantwana bakhe ngokufa; lamabandla wonke azakwazi ukuthi nginguye ohlola izinso lezinhliziyo; futhi ngizalinika, ngulowo lalowo, ngokwemisebenzi yenu.
Ndiela vonda bana bandi ayi mabundu moso mela zaba ti minu ndimfionguninanga mayindu ayi mintima. Ndiela kuluvana, mfutu kadika mutu, boso buididi mavanga mandi.
24 Kodwa ngikhuluma lani labanye abaseTiyathira, bonke abangelayo le imfundiso, labangakwaziyo okujulileyo kukaSathane, njengokutsho kwabo: Kangiyikulethesa omunye umthwalo.
Vayi kuidi beno basi Tiatila bankaka, beno lusia landakana ko malongi mandi ayi beno lusia zaba maphinda ma satana ko, ndikulukamba ti ndikadi ku lubuela bizitu binkaka.
25 Kodwa lokho elilakho kubambisiseni, ngize ngifike.
Vayi diambu diodi didi yeno, lusimbidila diawu nate ndiela kuiza.
26 Lonqobayo logcina imisebenzi yami kuze kube sekupheleni, ngizamnika amandla phezu kwezizwe;
Kuidi woso wela nunga ayi woso wela keba mavanga mama nate kuna tsukulu, ndiela kumvana kipfumu mu yadila makanda.
27 njalo uzazibusa ngentonga yensimbi; zizaphahlazwa njengezimbiza zebumba; njengalokhu lami ngikwemukele kuBaba.
Wela ma yadila mu nkawa wu sengo banga bueti budulu mimvungu mituma; banga kuandi bu nditambudila kuidi Dise diama
28 Futhi ngizamnika indonsakusa.
ndiela kumvana mbuetete yi nsuka.
29 Olendlebe kezwe lokho akutshoyo uMoya emabandleni.
Bika woso widi matu kawa mambu mantuba pheve kuidi mabundu.”
