Nyorera mutumwa wekereke iri paEfeso, uti: Zvanzi naiye wakabata nyeredzi nomwe murovoko rwake rworudyi, unofamba pakati pezvigadziko zvemwenje zvinomwe zvendarama:Unto 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;
Ndinoziva mabasa ako, nokutambudzika kwako, nokutsungirira kwako, vuye kuti haudi kuvonana navanhu vakaipa; wakavaidza ivo vanoti, tiri vaapostora, vasi ivo chaivo, ukavawana vari venhema;I 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:
ukatsungirira nokuva nomoyo murefu nokuda kwezita rangu, ukasaneta.And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
Asi handifari nechinhu icho kwauri, kuti wakasiya rudo rwako rwokutanga.Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Naizvozvo rangarira pawakawa, utendevuke, ugoita mabasa ako okutanga; kana usingaiti saizvozvo, ndichavuya kwawuri, ndikabvisa chigadziko chako chomwenje panzvimbo yacho, kana usingatendevuki.Remember 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.
Asi chinhu ichi unacho, kuti unovenga mabasa avaNikoraiti, andinovenga neni vo.But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
Unenzeve, ngaanzwe zvinoreva Mweya kukereke; unokunda, ndichamutendera kuti adye muti wovupenyu, uri muParadhiso yaMwari.He 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.
Nyorera mutumwa wekereke iri paSmirna, uti: Zvanzi naiye wokutanga nowokupedzisira, wakanga afa, akararama zve:And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
Ndinoziva mabasa ako nokutambudzika kwako novurombo bwako, (asi uri mufumi), nokutuka kwaivo vanoti, tiri vaJudha, vasi ivo chaivo, asi isinagoge raSatani,I 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.
usatya izvo zvauchatambudzika na zvo. Tarira, Dhiabhorosi woda kuisa vamwe venyu mutorongo, kuti muidzwe; muchatambudzika mazuva anegumi. Uve wakatendeka kusvikira parufu, ndigokupa korona yovupenyu.Fear 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.
Unenzeve, ngaanzwe zvinoreva Mweya kukereke; unokunda, haangakuvadzwi norufu rwechipiri.He 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.
Nyorera mutumwa wekereke iri paPergamo, uti: Zvanzi naiye unomunondo, unopinza, unocheka kwose;And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
Ndinoziva mabasa ako vuye kuti, paunogara, ndipo pane chigaro chovushe chaSatani; wakabatisisa zita rangu, ukasaramba kutenda kwangu, kunyange napamazuva aAntipasi, chapupu changu, munhu wangu wakatendeka, wakavurawa pakati penyu, apo panogara Satani.I 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.
Asi handifari nezvimwe zvinhu zvishoma kwauri, nokuti unavamwepo vanobatisisa dzidziso yaBharami, wakadzidzisa Bharaki kuisa chigumbuso pamberi pavana vaIsraeri, chokuti vadye zvakabayirwa zvifananidzo, nokuita vupombwe,But 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.
Nokudaro unavamwe vo vanobatisisa saizvozvo dzidziso yavaNikoraiti, chinhu chandinovenga..So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
Naizvozvo tendevuka; kana usingaiti saizvozvo, ndichakurumidza kuvuya kwauri, ndigorwa navo nomunondo womuromo wangu.Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Unenzeve, ngaanzwe zvinoreva Mweya kukereke. Unokunda, ndichamupa mana yakavanzika, vuye ndichamupa ibwe jena, napabwe iro zita idzwa rakanyorwapo, risingazikanwi nomunhu, asi naiye unoripiwa.He 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.
Nyorera mutumwa wekereke iri paTiatira, uti: Zvanzi noMwanakomana waMwari, unameso akafanana nomurazvo womoto, netsoka dzake dzakaita sesafuri inopenya;And 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;
Ndinoziva mabasa ako, norudo, nokutenda, nokushumira, nokutsungirira kwako, vuye kuti mabasa ako okupedzisira anopfuvura okutanga.I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
Asi handifari nechinhu ichi kwauri, kuti unotendera uya mukadzi Jesibheri, unozviidza muporofitakadzi, vuye unodzidzisa nokutsausa varanda vangu, kuti vaite vupombwe, nokudya zvakabayirwa zvifananidzo,Notwithstanding 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.
Ndakamupa nguva kuti atendevuke; akaramba kutendevuka pakufeva kwake.And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Tarira, ndoda kumukandira panhovo, navanoita vupombwe naye panhamo huru, kana vasingatendevuki pamabasa avo.Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Navana vake ndichavavuraya norufu; nekereke dzose dzichaziva kuti ndini ndinonzvera itsvo nomoyo; ndichapa mumwe nomumwe wenyu paakabata napo.And 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.
Asi kwamuri, imi makasara paTiatira, vose vasine-dzidziso iyi, vasingazivi izvo zvavanoti zvakadzika zvaSatani, ndinoti kwamuri: Handingakutakudziyi mumwe mutoro.But 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.
Asi batisai izvo zvamunazvo kusvikira ndichivuya.But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
Unokunda achichengeta mabasa angu kusvikira pakupedzisira, ndichamupa simba pamusoro pamarudzi;And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
uchaafudza netsvimbo yedare,sehari dzomuvumbi dzinoputsanyiwa; sezvandakapiwa vo naBaba vangu.And 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.
Vuye ndichamupa nyamasase.And I will give him the morning star.
Unenzeve, ngaanzwe zvinoreva Mweya kukereke.He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
