Revelation of John 2

Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Efèz la. Di l' konsa: Moun ki kenbe sèt zetwal yo nan men dwat li a, moun k'ap mache nan mitan sèt gwo lanp sèt branch lò yo, men sa li voye di ou:

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;

Mwen konnen tou sa w'ap fè, jan ou travay di, jan ou gen pasians. Mwen konnen tou ou pa ka sipòte mechan yo: ou sonde tout moun sa yo k'ap pran pòz apòt yo. Ou dekouvri se mantò yo ye.

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:

Ou gen anpil pasians, ou soufri anpil poutèt mwen. Ou pa dekouraje.

And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

Men, men repwòch mwen gen pou m' fè ou: Koulye a ou pa renmen m' jan ou te renmen m' anvan an.

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Chonje kote ou te ye anvan ou tonbe a, tounen vin jwenn Bondye. Reprann lavi ou t'ap mennen anvan an. Si ou pa tounen vin jwenn Bondye, m'ap vini kote ou ye a, m'ap wete chandelie ou la nan plas kote l' ye a.

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.

Men, malgre sa, ou gen kichòy ki bon: ou pa vle wè sa bann Nikolayit yo ap fè a. Mwen menm tou, mwen pa vle wè yo.

But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

Se pou moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo! Tout moun ki va goumen jouk yo genyen batay la, m'ap ba yo dwa pou yo manje nan piebwa ki bay lavi a, piebwa ki nan mitan jaden Bondye a.

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.

Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Esmen lan. Di l' konsa: Moun ki premie a ak dènye a, li menm ki te mouri, men ki te leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, men sa l' voye di ou:

And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

Mwen konnen jan w'ap soufri. Mwen konnen jan ou pòv. Men, pou di vre, ou rich anpil! Mwen konnen jan moun ki swadizan jwif yo ap pale ou mal. Men, se pa jwif yo ye. Se yon bann moun Satan.

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.

Ou pa bezwen pè pou sa ou pral soufri ankò. Koute, Satan pral chache sonde nou tout, li pral jete anpil nan nou nan prizon. Nou pral soufri pandan dis jou. Men, kenbe fèm menm si nou gen pou n' mouri. M'a ban nou lavi pou rekonpans.

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.

Se pou moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo. Moun ki va goumen jouk yo genyen batay la p'ap soufri dezyèm lanmò a.

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.

Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Pègam lan. Di l' konsa: Men sa moun ki gen nepe file de bò a voye di ou:

And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

Mwen konnen kote ou rete a se la Satan chita. Ou pa lage m', ou pa pèdi konfians ou gen nan mwen an, menm lè yo te fè touye Antipas ki mouri poutèt mwen la nan mitan nou, nan lavil kote Satan rete a.

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.

Men, men repwòch mwen gen pou m' fè ou: ou gen kèk moun lakay ou k'ap swiv konsèy Balaram te bay lè li te moutre Balak sa pou l' te fè pou fè pitit Izrayèl yo tonbe nan peche, pou l' te fè yo manje viann bèt yo te ofri pou touye bay zidòl, pou l' te fè yo lage kò yo nan imoralite.

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.

Konsa tou, ou gen kèk moun lakay ou k'ap swiv konsèy Nikolayit yo.

So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.

Tounen vin jwenn Bondye non. Si ou pa fè sa, talè konsa m'ap vini, m'ap goumen ak moun sa yo ak nepe k'ap soti nan bouch mwen an.

Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

Se pou moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo. Tout moun ki va goumen jouk yo genyen batay la, m'a ba yo laman ki kache a. M'ap ba yo chak yon ti wòch blan ak yon lòt non ekri sou li, yon non pesonn pa konnen esepte moun ki resevwa l' la.

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.

Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Tiyati a. Di l' konsa: Men sa pitit Bondye a voye di ou, li menm ki gen je l' yo tankou de flanm dife, ak pie l' yo klere tankou kwiv poli.

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;

Mwen konnen tou sa w'ap fè. Mwen konnen jan ou gen renmen nan kè ou, jan ou gen konfians, jan ou fè sèvis ou byen, ak jan ou gen anpil pasians. Mwen konnen tou w'ap travay koulye a pi plis pase anvan.

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.

Men, men repwòch mwen gen pou m' fè ou: w'ap tolere fanm yo rele Jezabèl la k'ap pran pòz pwofèt Bondye li. L'ap detounen sèvitè m' yo, l'ap moutre yo pou yo lage kò yo nan imoralite, pou yo manje viann bèt yo te ofri pou touye bay zidòl.

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.

Mwen ba l' kont tan pou l' vire kite peche l' yo. Men, li pa vle kite imoralite li a.

And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

Se poutèt sa, mwen pral lage l' jete sou yon kabann kote li pral soufri anpil. Tout moun k'ap fè adiltè avè l' yo pral soufri anpil tou, si yo pa chanje, si yo pa kite move zak y'ap plede fè ansanm avè l' yo.

Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

Apre sa, m'ap fè tout pitit li yo mouri. Konsa, tout legliz yo va konnen mwen se moun ki konnen tout lide lèzòm ap fè nan tèt yo ak tout santiman yo gen nan kè yo. M'ap bay chak moun sa yo merite dapre sa yo fè.

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.

Pou nou menm, lòt manm legliz nan lavil Tiyati yo ki pa swiv move konsèy sa yo, ki pa t' aprann sa bann moun sa yo ap rele gwo sekrè Satan an, men sa m'ap di nou: Mwen p'ap ban nou lòt chay pase sa.

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.

Men, kenbe sa nou genyen an byen fèm jouk jou m'a tounen.

But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

Tout moun ki va goumen jouk yo genyen batay la, epi ki va toujou ap fè sa m' vle yo fè a jouk sa kaba, m'a ba yo pouvwa sou tout nasyon,

And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

menm jan Papa m' te ban m' pouvwa sa a tou. Y'a gouvènen nasyon yo ak yon baton fè, y'a kraze yo an miyèt moso tankou yon kannari yo kraze.

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.

M'a ba yo bèl zetwal ki klere chak maten an tou.

And I will give him the morning star.

Se pou moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
