2 “Engilozini+ yebandla le-Efesu+ tlola uthi: Nanzi izinto azitjhoko loyo ophethe iinkwekwezi ezilikhomba esandleni sakhe sokudla, okhamba hlangana namalithi weembani wegolide alikhomba:+
2 ‘Ngiyazazi izenzo zakho nokusebenza budisi kwakho nokukghodlhelela kwakho nokuthi awubabekezeleli abantu abambi nokuthi ulinga labo abathi babapostoli+ kodwana bangasingibo, ubafumane babaleyi mala.
3 Godu uyakghodlhelela begodu uphikelele ngebanga legama lami,+ akhenge udinwe.+
4 Nanyana kunjalo, nginalokhu ngawe ukuthi awusanalo ithando ebewunalo ekuthomeni.
5 “‘Nje-ke khumbula lapha uwe khona, utjhuguluke,+ wenze izenzo ebewuzenza ekuthomeni. Nawungenzi njalo, ngizokuza begodu ngizokususa ilithi lesibani sakho+ endawenaso, ngaphandle kokuthi utjhuguluke.+
6 Nanyana kunjalo, usesenokuhle okwenzako: uyazihloya izenzo zesiqhema sakaNikholawu,+ engisihloyileko nami.
7 Onendlebe akezwe okutjhiwo mmoya emabandleni:+ Kiloyo ohlulako+ ngizomvumela bona adle emthini wokuphila,+ osepharadesi lakaZimu.’
8 “Nengilozini yebandla leSmirna tlola uthi: Nanzi izinto azitjhoko, ‘wokuThoma newamaSwaphela,’+ owafa begodu wabuyela ekuphileni godu:+
9 ‘Ngiyalazi isizi nokuba dududu kwakho kodwana unjingile+ begodu ukuhlambalaza kwalabo abazibiza ngokuthi maJuda bangasingiwo kodwana balisinagogo lakaSathana.+
10 Ungazisabi izinto osazokutlhaga ngazo.+ Qala! UDeveli usazokusolo aphosela abanye benu ejele bona nilingwe ngokupheleleko, nizokutlhagiswa amalanga alitjhumi. Yeke zibonakalise uthembekile bekube sekufeni, ngizokunikela isihlohlo sokuphila.+
11 Onendlebe akezwe+ okutjhiwo mmoya emabandleni: Ohlulako+ angeze alinyazwa kukufa kwesibili.’+
12 “Engilozini yebandla lePhergamu tlola uthi: Nanzi izinto azitjhoko loyo onesabula ebukhali, ede, esika mahlangothi womabili:+
13 ‘Ngiyakwazi lapho uhlala khona, ngitjho lapho isihlalo sobukhosi sakaSathana sikhona kodwana uragela phambili ubambelele egameni lami+ begodu akhenge ukuphike ukukholwa kwakho kimi+ ngitjho nemihleni ka-Antiphasi, ufakazami othembekileko,+ owabulawa+ eqadi kwakho, lapho uSathana ahlala khona.
14 “‘Nanyana kunjalo, nginezinto ezimbalwa engizisolako ngawe ukuthi lapho kuwe unababambelele efundisweni kaBhalami,+ owafundisa uBhalaki+ ukubeka isiqabo phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli bona badle izinto ezihlatjelwe iinthombe begodu baziphathe kumbi ngokomseme.*+
15 Ngendlela efanako godu usesenalabo ababambelele efundisweni yesitlamu sakaNikholawu.+
16 Nje-ke tjhuguluka. Nawungatjhugulukiko, ngiyeza kuwe msinyana begodu ngizokulwa nabo ngesabula ede yomlomami.+
17 “‘Onendlebe akezwe okutjhiwo mmoya emabandleni:+ Kiloyo ohlulako,+ ngizomnikela okuthileko kwemana efihliweko,+ ngizomnikela ilitje elimhlophe begodu elitjenelo kutlolwe igama elitjha okunganamuntu olaziko ngaphandle kwaloyo olamukelako.’
18 “Engilozini yebandla leThiyathira+ tlola uthi: Nanzi izinto iNdodana kaZimu ezitjhoko, yona enamehlo anjengelangabi lomlilo+ neenyawo zayo zinjengekhopha etsengisiweko:+
19 ‘Ngiyazazi izenzo zakho, ithando, ukukholwa, umsebenzi nokukghodlhelela kwakho nokuthi izenzo zakho zamuva zidlula lezo owazenza ekuthomeni.
20 “‘Nanyana kunjalo, nginalokhu ngawe ukuthi ubekezelela umfazi loyo, uJezebheli,+ ozibiza ngokuthi mphorofidikazi, ufundisa bekadurhise iinceku zami bona ziziphathe kumbi ngokomseme*+ zidle nezinto ezihlatjelwe iinthombe.
21 Ngimnikele isikhathi sokobana atjhuguluke, kodwana akakazimiseli ukutjhuguluka ekuziphatheni kwakhe kumbi ngokomseme.*
22 Qalani! Sengizomphosela embhedeni wokugula nalabo abafeba* naye bazokuba naye esizini elikhulu, ngaphandle kobana batjhuguluke ezenzweni zabo.
23 Ngizokubulala abantwana bakhe ngesibetho esibulalako bona woke amabandla azi ukuthi nginguloyo ohlola imicabango* neenhliziyo begodu ngizokunikela ngamunye wenu ngokwezenzo zakhe.+
24 “‘Nje-ke ngithi kini noke eniseThiyathira, noke eningalandeli ifundiso le, labo abangakhenge bakwazi lokho okubizwa ngokuthi “zizinto ezidephileko zakaSathana”:+ Anginithwesi omunye umthwalo.
25 Ngendlela efanako, bambelela kilokho onakho bengifike.+
26 Nakiloyo ohlulako begodu alandele izenzo zami bekube sekupheleni, ngizomnikela ilawulo phezu kweentjhaba,+
27 uzokwelusa abantu ngentonga yesimbi+ bona baphadlheke njengesitja sebumba babe ziinquntwana njengombana nami ngilamukele kuBaba.
28 Ngizomnikela ikwekwezi yokusa.+
29 Onendlebe akezwe okutjhiwo mmoya emabandleni.’
