1Efisa ah kaom van kami kricabu khaeah hae tiah tarik ah; a bantang banah cakaeh sarihto patawn, sui hoi sak ih hmai paaanghaih salakah amkae kami mah hae lok hae thuih:
1“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of Him who holds the seven stars in His right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands.
2tok na sakhaih, tha na pathokhaih, na pauephaihnawk to ka panoek; kahoih ai kaminawk to na khen sut ai: patoeh ih kami na ai to mah, patoeh ih kami baktiah angsahcop kaminawk to na tanoek moe, nihcae loe amsawnlok thui kami ni, tiah nam tuengsak:
2I know your deeds, your labor, and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and you have tested and exposed as liars those who falsely claim to be apostles.
3Ka hmin pongah raihaih na tongh, amtanghaih to na pauep, toe tha na zok ai.
3Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name.
4Toe hmaloe ih amlunghaih to na caehtaak pongah, na nuiah koeh ai ih hmuen ka tawnh.
4But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love.
5To pongah nam timhaih ahmuen to pahnet hmah, dawnpakhuem ah loe, na sak hmaloe ih toknawk to sah ah; to tiah na dawnpakhuem ai nahaeloe, nang khaeah karangah kang zoh moe, na hmaithaw to a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah ka tahruet ving han.
5Therefore, keep in mind how far you have fallen. Repent and perform the deeds you did at first. But if you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
6Toe kahoih hmuen na tawnh, kaimah doeh ka hnukma ih, Nikolaitan kaminawk mah sak o ih hmuennawk to na hnukma toeng.
6But you have this to your credit: You hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7Naa tawn kami loe, Muithla mah kricaabunawk khaeah thuih ih lok to tahngai nasoe; Sithaw ih paradise um ah kaom hinghaih thingkung to caak hanah, pazawk kami khaeah ka paek han.
7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of life in the Paradise of God.
8Smyrna ah kaom van kami kricaabu khaeah hae tiah tarik ah; hmaloe koek hoi hnukkhuem koekah kaom, kadueh moe, kahing let Anih mah hae loknawk hae thuih;
8To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of the First and the Last, who died and returned to life.
9na tok sakhaih, na patangkhanghaih, nam tanghaih (toe nang loe angraeng ah ni na oh) to ka panoek; Judah kami ai to mah Judah kami ah angsahcop, Sineko ah kaom Setan ih kaminawk mah kasae thuih o ih loknawk doeh ka panoek.
9I know your affliction and your poverty—though you are rich! And I am aware of the slander of those who falsely claim to be Jews, but are in fact a synagogue of Satan.
10Patang na khang han kaom hmuennawk to zii hmah: khenah, nang to tanoek hanah, taqawk mah nangcae thung ih thoemto kaminawk to thongim pakhrah tih; ni hato thung patangkhanghaih to na tongh o tih: duek khoek to oep kathok ah om oh, hinghaih sui lumuek to kang paek o han.
10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11Naa tawn kami loe, kricaabunawk khaeah Muithla mah thuih ih lok to tahngai nasoe; pazawk kami loe vaihnetto duekhaih mah nganbawh kana paek mak ai.
11He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who overcomes will not be harmed by the second death.
12Pergamo ah kaom van kami kricaabu khaeah hae tiah tarik ah; ahnuk ahmaa kanoe sumsen katawn Anih mah hae loknawk hae thuih;
12To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of the One who holds the sharp, double-edged sword.
13na tok sakhaih, na ohhaih ahmuen hoi Setan anghnuthaih tangkhang ohhaih ahmuen to ka panoek: nangcae salak ih Setan ohhaih ahmuen ah, oep kaom Kai ih kami Antipa hum o nathuem ah, Ka hmin to kacakah na patawnh, Kai tanghaih na caehtaak ai.
13I know where you live, where the throne of Satan sits. Yet you have held fast to My name and have not denied your faith in Me, even in the day when My faithful witness Antipas was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
14Toe Israel caanawk nihcae hmaa ah amtimh o moe, krang bokhaih buhcaak khue ai ah, nongpa nongpata zaehaih sak o hanah, Balak patukkung, Balaam mah patuk ih lok pazui kaminawk nangcae khaeah oh o pongah, na nuiah koeh ai ih hmuen zetta ka tawnh.
14But I have a few things against you, because some of you hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block before the Israelites so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality.
15To baktih toengah ka hnukma ih, Nikolaitan kaminawk mah patuk ih lok pazui kaminawk doeh nangcae thungah oh o.
15In the same way, some of you also hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16Dawnpakhuem ah, to tih ai nahaeloe karangah nang khae kang zoh moe, ka pakha thung ih sumsen hoiah nihcae to ka tuk han.
16Therefore repent! Otherwise I will come to you shortly and wage war against them with the sword of My mouth.
17Naa tawn kami loe, kricaabunawk khaeah Muithla mah thuih ih lok to tahngai nasoe; pazawk kami hanah loe hawk ih manna to caak hanah ka paek han, kahak kami khue mah ai ah loe, mi mah doeh panoek ai ih, a nuiah ahmin kangtha tarik ih thlung, thlung kanglung maeto anih hanah ka paek han.
17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will give the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone inscribed with a new name, known only to the one who receives it.
18Thyatira ah kaom vankami kricaabu khaeah hae tiah tarik ah; hmaipalai baktiah kaom mik, kampha sum kamling baktiah kaom khok katawn, Sithaw Capa mah hae loknawk hae thuih;
18To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like a blazing fire and whose feet are like polished bronze.
19na sak ih toknawk, amlunghaih, toksakhaih, tanghaih, na toksakhaih hoi palungsawkhaih to ka panoek; na sak hmaloe ih tok pongah hnukkhuem ah na sak ih tok to pop kue.
19I know your deeds—your love, your faith, your service, your perseverance—and your latter deeds are greater than your first.
20Toe ka tamnanawk nongpa nongpata zaehaih saksak hanah patuk moe, krang bokhaih buhcaak hanah pacuek, angmah hoi angmah to kai loe tahmaa nongpata maeto ah ni ka oh, tiah kathui nongpata Jezebel to na pakaa ai na khet sut pongah, na nuiah koeh ai ih hmuen zetta ka tawnh.
20But I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads My servants to be sexually immoral and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
21Nongpa nongpata zae sakhaih thung hoiah a dawnpakhuem hanah anih to atue ka paek, toe anih mah dawnpakhuem ai.
21Even though I have given her time to repent of her immorality, she is unwilling.
22To pongah khenah, anih to ngannathaih iihkhun nuiah ka vah han, anih hoi zaehaih sah kaminawk doeh a sak o ih hmuennawk pongah dawnpakhuem o ai nahaeloe, kanung parai patangkhanghaih thungah ka vah han.
22Behold, I will cast her onto a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer great tribulation unless they repent of her deeds.
23Anih ih caanawk to ka hum han; to naah ni kricaabunawk boih mah Kai loe kami ih palungthin pakrong Anih ah ka oh, tiah panoek o tih: na sak o ih tok baktih toengah kang paek o han.
23Then I will strike her children dead, and all the churches will know that I am the One who searches minds and hearts, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
24Thoem to kaminawk mah kathuk Setan ih hmuennawk, tiah thuih o ih hmuennawk to panoek ai kami, to baktih amtukhaih tawn ai kaminawk hoi kanghmat Thyatira kaminawk khaeah loe, Nangcae nuiah kalah hmuenzit ka koeng mak ai, tiah ka thuih.
24But I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned the so-called deep things of Satan: I will place no further burden upon you.
25Na tawnh o ih hmuen to kang zo ai karoek to kacakah patawn oh.
25Nevertheless, hold fast to what you have until I come.
26Pazawk kami hoi boeng khoek to kai ih toksah kami hanah loe acaeng kaminawk ukthaihaih to ka paek han:
26And to the one who overcomes and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations.
27kam Pa khae hoi ka hnuk ih baktih toengah, Anih mah acaeng kaminawk to sumboeng hoiah uk tih; nihcae loe laom kakoi baktiah koi o tih.
27He will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery —just as I have received authority from My Father.
28Anih hanah akhawnbang cakaeh to ka paek han.
28And I will give him the morning star.
29Naa tawn kami loe, Muithla mah kricaabunawk khaeah thuih ih lok to tahngai nasoe.
29He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
