1“Tohi ki he ʻāngelo ʻoe siasi ʻo ʻEfesō; ‘ʻOku folofolaʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe ia ʻoku ne kuku ʻae fetuʻu ʻe fitu ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi tuʻunga maama koula ʻe fitu;
1Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2“ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, mo hoʻo fai feinga, mo hoʻo faʻa kātaki, pea mo hoʻo taʻefaʻakātakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku kovi: pea kuo ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau pehē, ko e kau ʻaposetolo ʻakinautolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai, pea kuo ke ʻilo ko e kau loi ʻakinautolu:
2I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
3Pea kuo ke faʻa ʻūkuma, ʻo faʻa kātaki, pea koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa kuo ke ngāue, ʻo ʻikai te ke vaivai.
3And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4Ka ʻoku ai ʻae meʻa ʻoku ou koviʻia ai kiate koe, koeʻuhi kuo ke mahuʻi mei hoʻo ʻuluaki ʻofa.
4Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5Ko ia ke ke manatuʻi ʻaia kuo ke hinga mei ai, pea fakatomala, pea fai ʻae ngaahi ʻuluaki ngāue; ka ʻikai, pea te u haʻu toʻotoʻo kiate koe, ʻo hiki hoʻo tuʻunga maama mei hono potu, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke fakatomala.
5Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
6Ka ʻoku ke maʻu ʻa eni, ʻoku ke fehiʻa ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe kau Nikolaitani, ʻaia ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki ai.
6But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7“Ko ia ia ʻoku ai ʻae telinga, ke fakafanongo ia ki he folofola ʻae Laumālie ki he ngaahi siasi; Ko ia ia te ne ikuna, te u foaki ki ai ke kai mei he ʻakau ʻoe moʻui, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe Palataisi ʻoe ʻOtua.”’
7He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
8¶ “Tohi ki he ʻāngelo ʻoe siasi ʻoe kakai Simana; ‘ʻOku folofolaʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe he ʻuluaki mo e ki mui, ʻaia naʻe mate, ka kuo moʻui;
8And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
9“ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, mo hoʻo mamahi, mo hoʻo masiva, (ka ʻoku ke koloaʻia) pea mo e loi ʻanautolu ʻoku pehē, ko e ngaahi Siu ʻakinautolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai, ka ko e falelotu ʻo Sētane.
9I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē ki ha meʻa ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia te ke mamahi ai: vakai, ʻe lī ʻe he tēvolo ʻa homou niʻihi ki he fale fakapōpula, ko homou ʻahiʻahiʻi, pea te mou moʻua ʻi he mamahi ʻi he ʻaho ʻe hongofulu―ka ke fai angatonu pe ʻo aʻu ki he mate, pea te u foaki kiate koe ʻae pale ʻoe moʻui.
10Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11“Ko ia ia ʻoku ai ʻae telinga, ke fakafanongo ia ki he folofola ʻae Laumālie ki he ngaahi siasi; “Ko ia ia te ne ikuna, ʻe ʻikai lavea ia ʻe he mate ʻangaua.”’
11He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
12¶ “Pea tohi ki he ʻāngelo ʻae siasi ʻo Peakamosi; ‘ʻOku folofolaʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe ia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae heletā māsila ʻoku fakatoumata;
12And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
13“ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, mo e potu ʻoku ke nofo ai, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae nofoʻanga ʻo Sētane: pea ʻoku ke puke maʻu hoku hingoa, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke siʻaki ʻeku lotu, ʻio, naʻa mo e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻAnitipasa ko ʻeku fakamoʻoni angatonu, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻiate kimoutolu, ko e potu ʻoku nofo ai ʻa Sētane.
13I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is : and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
14Ka ʻoku ai ʻae meʻa niʻihi ʻoku ou koviʻia ai kiate koe, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau tui ki he akonaki ʻa Pelami, ʻaia naʻa ne akonekina ʻa Pelaki ke lī ʻae tūkiaʻanga ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIsileli, ke nau kai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua, pea ke fai ʻae feʻauaki.
14But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
15Pea pehē ʻoku ʻiate koe foki ʻakinautolu ʻoku tui ki he akonaki ʻoe kau Nikolaitani, ʻaia ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki ai.
15So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
16Fakatomala; ka ʻikai, pea te u haʻu toʻotoʻo kiate koe, pea te u tauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻo hoku fofonga.
16Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17“Ko ia ia ʻoku ai ʻae telinga, ke fakafanongo ia ki he folofola ʻae Laumālie ki he ngaahi siasi: Ko ia ia te ne ikuna, te u foaki ai ke ne kai ʻae mana fufū, pea te u ʻatu ki ai mo e foʻi maka hinehina, pea ʻe tohi tongi ʻi he maka ʻae hingoa foʻou, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻe ha taha ka ko ia pe ʻoku ne maʻu ia.”’
17He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
18¶ “Pea tohi ki he ʻāngelo ʻoe siasi ʻi Taiataila; ‘ʻOku folofolaʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe he ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku tatau mo e ulo afi hono fofonga, mo hono vaʻe ʻo hangē ko e palasa ngingila.
18And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
19“ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, mo e ʻofa, mo e tauhi, mo e tui, mo hoʻo faʻa kātaki; mo e lahi hake ʻo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue ki mui ʻi he ʻuluaki.
19I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
20Ka ʻoku ai ʻae meʻa niʻihi ʻoku ou koviʻia ai kiate koe, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tuku ai pe ʻae fefine ko Sesepeli, ʻaia ʻoku ne ui ia ko e palōfita fefine, pea ʻoku ne akonekina mo oloa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ke fai ʻae feʻauaki, pea ke kai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua.
20Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21Pea ne u tuku kiate ia ʻae kuonga ke fakatomala ai ʻi heʻene feʻauaki; ka naʻe ʻikai fakatomala ia.
21And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22Vakai, teu lī ia ki ha mohenga, mo kinautolu ʻoku fai feʻauaki mo ia, ki he mamahi lahi, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau fakatomala ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ngāue.
22Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
23Pea te u tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae mate ʻa ʻene fānau; pea ʻe ʻilo ai ʻe he ngaahi siasi kotoa pē, ko au ia ʻoku ou hakule ʻae ngaahi holi mo e loto: pea te u ʻatu kiate kimoutolu taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻomou ngaahi ngāue.
23And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
24“Ka ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, mo hono toe ʻi Taiataila, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻae akonaki ni, pea naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa loloto ʻo Sētane, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau lau; ʻE ʻikai te u ʻai mo ha kavenga kehe kiate kimoutolu.
24But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
25Ka ko ia ʻoku mou maʻu, kuku maʻu kaeʻoua ke u haʻu.
25But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26Pea ko ia ia ʻe ikuna, pea ne fai ki heʻeku ngaahi ngāue ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga, ko ia ia te u foaki ki ai ʻae mālohi ki he ngaahi puleʻanga:
26And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27‘Pea te ne puleʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae vaʻa ukamea; Pea ʻe lailai ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ipu ʻoe tufunga ngaohi ipu:’ ʻo hangē pe ko ia ne u maʻu mei heʻeku Tamai.
27And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
28Pea te u foaki kiate ia ʻae fetuʻu pongipongi.
28And I will give him the morning star.
29“Ko ia ia ʻoku ai ʻae telinga, ke fakafanongo ia ki he folofola ʻae Laumālie ki he ngaahi siasi.”’
29He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
