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;

¹ «Bindal malaakam mbooloom ñi gëm ci dëkku Efes, ne ko: i Ki téye juróom-ñaari biddiiw yi ci loxol ndeyjooram, tey dox ci diggu juróom-ñaari làmpi diwlin yu wurus yi nee na:

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:

² Xam naa say jëf, sa liggéey ak sag muñ. Xam naa ne, mënuloo dékku ñiy def lu bon. Seetlu nga ñi tuddoo samay ndaw, ba gis ne ay naaféq lañu.

³And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

³ Xam naa it ne muñ nga, ba dékku coono ndax sama tur, te xàddiwoo. i

⁴Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

⁴ Waaye li ma naqari ci yaw moo di sa mbëggeel wàññiku na.

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.

⁵ Deel fàttaliku kon fa nga daanoo. Réccul te def, na nga daan def bu jëkk. Soo réccuwul, dinaa dikk ci yaw, jële sa làmp ca bérab ba mu nekk.

⁶But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

⁶ Waaye lii neex na ma ci yaw: sib nga ni man li ñoom Nikolas di jëf. i

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.

⁷ Yaw mi am ay nopp, déglul li Xelum Yàlla di wax mboolooy ñi gëm. Ku daan, dinaa la may, nga lekk ci garabu dund, gi nekk ci jataayu Yàlla.

⁸And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

⁸ «Bindal malaakam mbooloom ñi gëm ci dëkku Samirin, ne ko: i Ki jëkk te mujj, ki dee woon te dekki nee na:

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.

⁹ Xam naa sa coono, xam it sa néew doole, moona yaaka duunle. Ñooñu tuddoo Yawut, xam naa ñaawteef yi ñu teg ci sa der: ndajem Seytaane la.

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.

¹⁰ Bul ragal li nga nar a daj. Seytaane dina dugal kaso ñenn ci yéen, ngir wut leen a fiir. Diirub fukki fan dingeen am coono. Nanga takku ba àttan cee dee, ma jox la kaalag dund gi. i

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.

¹¹ Yaw mi am ay nopp, déglul li Xelum Yàlla di wax mboolooy ñi gëm. Ku daan, doo loru ci ñaareelu dee.

¹²And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

¹² «Bindal malaakam mbooloom ñi gëm ci dëkku Pergam, ne ko: i Boroom jaasi ju ñaw, ji am ñaari boor nee na:

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.

¹³ Xam naa fa nga dëkk, di fa Seytaane samp nguuram. Moona jébbalu nga ci sama tur te weddiwoo sa ngëm ci man, ba ca fan ya ñu reye Antipas, sama seede bu takku ba, ci seen dëkk, di dëkku Seytaane. i

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.

¹⁴ Waaye am na lu ma naqari ci yaw, moo di uuf nga foofu gaa yuy sàmm njàngalem Balaam, moom mi jàngaloon Balag, mu sóob bànni Israyil ci bàkkaar, xiir leen ci lekk ñam wu ñu tuuroo xërëm yi, xiir leen ci njaaloo.

¹⁵So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

¹⁵ Te am nga noonu itam ay nit ñuy sàmm njàngalem ñoom Nikolas.

¹⁶Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

¹⁶ Réccul kon; lu ko moy dinaa dikk ci yaw léegi te xeex ak nit ñooñu ak jaasi, jiy génn ci sama gémmiñ. i

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.

¹⁷ Yaw mi am ay nopp, déglul li Xelum Yàlla di wax mboolooy ñi gëm. Ku daan, dinaa la jox, nga lekk dund bi ñuy wax mànn te mu nëbbu, te dinaa la jox xeer wu weex. Ci kaw xeer woowu bindees na ci tur wu bees wu kenn xamul, ku dul ki ko jot.

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;

¹⁸ «Bindal malaakam mbooloom ñi gëm ci dëkku Catir, ne ko: i Doomu Yàlla ji, ki ay bëtam di xuyy ni safara, tey tànkam di lerax ni xànjar, nee na:

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.

¹⁹ Xam naa say jëf, sa mbëggeel, sa ngëm, sag muñ ak ni nga farloo ci sa jaamu Yàlla. Xam naa say jëf yu mujj, ni ñu ëppe yu jëkk ya. i

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.

²⁰ Waaye li ma naqari ci yaw moo di dangaa bàyyi Yesabel, jigéen joojuy tuddoo yonent, di jàngale ak a réeral sama jaam yi, ngir ñuy sóobu ci njaaloo te di lekk ñam wu ñu tuuroo xërëm yi.

²¹And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

²¹ May naa ko ab diir, ngir mu tuub njaaloom, waaye bañ na.

²²Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

²² Kon nag dinaa ko tëral ci lalu metit, te ñiy ànd ak moom di njaaloo, su ñu tuubul jëfi jigéen jooju, dinaa leen teg naqar wu mag.

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.

²³ Dinaa rey ay doomam, te mboolooy ñi gëm yépp dinañu xam ne, man maa di kiy nattu xol ak xalaat, te dinaa fey ku nekk ay jëfam.

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.

²⁴ Waaye yéen ñépp ñi des ci Catir te toppuleen njàngale moomu te gëstuwuleen loolu ñu naan mbiri Seytaane yu xóot yi, maa ngi leen di wax ne, duma leen yen beneen yen

²⁵But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

²⁵ bu dul bii: jàppleen ci li ngeen jàpp, ba kera may ñëw. i

²⁶And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

²⁶ Ku daan tey sax ci samay jëf ba ca muj ga, dinaa ko jox sañ-sañ ci xeet yi:i

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.

²⁷ Dina leen jiite ak yetu weñ,i tojat leen ni ñuy toje ndaal kew —i

²⁸And I will give him the morning star.

²⁸ ni ma jële sañ-sañ ci sama Baay. Dinaa ko jox it biddiiwu njël.

²⁹He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

²⁹ Yaw mi am ay nopp, déglul li Xelum Yàlla di wax mboolooy ñi gëm.
