1To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamps:
1[Ny Epistily ho an'ny fiangonana fito tany Asia] [Efesosy] Soraty ho amin'ny anjelin'ny fiangonana any Efesosy. Izao no lazain'ilay miharona ny kintana fito eny an-tànany ankavanana sady mandeha eo afovoan'ny fanaovan-jiro volamena fito: [ Gr. eklesia]
2I know thy works and [thy] labour, and thine endurance, and that thou canst not bear evil [men]; and thou hast tried them who say that themselves [are] apostles and are not, and hast found them liars;
2Fantatro ny asanao sy ny fikelezanao aina sy ny faharetanao ary ny tsi-fahazakanao izay mpanao ratsy; ary ianao efa nizaha toetra izay milaza ny tenany ho Apostoly, kanjo tsy izy, ary hitanao fa mpandainga izy;
3and endurest, and hast borne for my name's sake, and hast not wearied:
3ary manana faharetana ianao ka niaritra noho ny anarako sady tsy reraka.
4but I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
4Kanefa manan-teny aminao Aho, satria efa niala tamin'ny fitiavanao voalohany ianao.
5Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works: but if not, I am coming to thee, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou shalt repent.
5Koa tsarovy izay nitoeranao fony tsy mbola lavo, dia mibebaha, ka manaova ny asa voalohany; fa raha tsy izany, dia ho avy aminao Aho ka hamindra ny fanaovan-jironao hiala amin'ny fitoerany, raha tsy mibebaka ianao.
6But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes, which *I* also hate.
6Kanefa izao no toetranao: halanao ny asan'ny Nikolaita, izay halako koa. [ Gr. anananao]
7He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God.
7Izay manan-tsofina, aoka izy hihaino izay lazain'ny Fanahy amin'ny fiangonana. Izay maharesy dia havelako hihinana ny avy amin'ny hazon'aina, izay eo amin'ny Paradisan'Andriamanitra. [ Gr. eklesia]
8And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: These things says the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:
8[Smyrna] Ary soraty ho amin'ny anjelin'ny fiangonana any Smyrna: Izao no lazain'ny Voalohany sy ny Farany, Izay efa maty, nefa velona indray: [ Gr. eklesia]
9I know thy tribulation and thy poverty; but thou art rich; and the railing of those who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but a synagogue of Satan.
9Fantatro ny fahorianao sy ny fahantranao (nefa manan-karena ianao), ary ny fitenenan-dratsy ataon'izay milaza ny tenany ho Jiosy, kanjo tsy izy, fa synagogan'i Satana. [ Gr. blasfemia; izahao Mat. 9, 3)
10Fear nothing [of] what thou art about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast 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 to thee the crown of life.
10Aza matahotra izay efa hiaretanao; indro, ny devoly efa hanao ny sasany aminareo ao an-tranomaizina, mba ho voazaha toetra ianareo, ary hanam-pahoriana hafoloana. Aoka ho mahatoky hatramin'ny fahafatesana ianao, dia homeko anao ny satro-boninahitra fiainana.
11He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He that overcomes shall in no wise be injured of the second death.
11Izay manan-tsofina, aoka izy hihaino izay lazain'ny Fanahy amin'ny fiangonana. Izay maharesy dia tsy hosimban'ny fahafatesana faharoa. [ Gr. eklesia]
12And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword:
12[Pergamosy] Ary soraty ho amin'ny anjelin'ny fiangonana any Pergamosy: Izao no lazain'ilay manana ny sabatra roa lela maranitra: [ Gr. eklesia]
13I know where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan [is]; and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness [was], who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.
13Fantatro izay onenanao, dia ao amin'ny itoeran'ny seza fiandrianan'i Satana; ary mitàna mafy ny anarako ianao ka tsy nandà ny finoana Ahy, na dia tamin'ny andron'i Antipasy martiorako aza, izay lehilahy nahatoky Ahy, dia ilay novonoina teo aminareo, teo amin'izay onenan'i Satana.
14But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat [of] idol sacrifices and commit fornication.
14Kanefa manan-teny kely aminao Aho, fa misy eo aminao izay mitàna ny fampianaran'i Balama, ilay nanome fo an'i Balaka hanisy fahatafintohinana teo anoloan'ny Zanak'isiraely, hihinana hena naterina tamin'ny sampy sy hijangajanga.
15So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner.
15Ary toy izany koa, misy eo aminao izay mitàna ny fampianaran'ny Nikolaita tahaka ny an'ireny.
16Repent therefore: but if not, I come to thee quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.
16Koa dia mibebaha; fa raha tsy izany, dia ho avy aminao faingana Aho ka hamely ireo amin'ny sabatry ny vavako.
17He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of the hidden manna; and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that receives [it].
17Izay manan-tsofina, aoka izy hihaino izay lazain'ny Fanahy amin'ny fiangonana. Izay maharesy dia homeko mana miafina sady homeko vato fotsy, ary eo amin'ny vato dia misy anaram-baovao voasoratra, izay tsy fantatr'olona afa-tsy izay mandray azy ihany. [ Gr. eklesia]
18And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, he that has his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass:
18[Tyatira] Ary soraty ho amin'ny anjelin'ny fiangonana any Tyatira: Izao no lazain'ny Zanak'Andriamanitra, Izay manana maso toy ny lelafo, ary ny tongony tahaka ny varahina manganohano: [ Gr. eklesia]
19I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thine endurance, and thy last works [to be] more than the first.
19Fantatro ny asanao sy ny fitiavanao sy ny finoanao sy ny fanompoanao ary ny faharetanao, ary ny asanao farany dia be noho ny voalohany.
20But I have against thee that thou permittest the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself prophetess, and she teaches and leads astray my servants to commit fornication and eat of idol sacrifices.
20Kanefa manan-teny aminao Aho, satria ianao mandefitra amin'ilay vehivavy Jezebela, izay milaza ny tenany ho mpaminanivavy ka mampianatra sady manoloky ny mpanompoko hijangajanga sy hihinana hena naterina tamin'ny sampy.
21And I gave her time that she should repent, and she will not repent of her fornication.
21Ary nomeko andro hibebahany izy, nefa tsy mety mibebaka amin'ny fijangajangany izy.
22Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,
22Indro, hampandamahiko eo am-pandriana izy, ary izay mijangajanga aminy dia hataoko ao amin'ny fahoriana lehibe, raha tsy hibebaka amin'ny asan-dravehivavy izy.
23and her children will I kill with death; and all the assemblies shall know that *I* am he that searches [the] reins and [the] hearts; and I will give to you each according to your works.
23Ary hovonoiko amin'ny fahafatesana ny zanany; ary ny fiangonana rehetra hahalala fa Izaho no mandinika ny voa sy ny fo; ary homeko araka ny asanareo avy ianareo rehetra. [ Gr. eklesia]
24But to you I say, the rest who [are] in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I do not cast upon you any other burden;
24Fa aminareo izay sisa any Tyatira, dia izay tsy manana izany fampianarana izany sady tsy mba mahalala ny ataon'ireo hoe "sain-dalin'i Satana", dia izao no lazaiko: tsy hovesarako entana hafa ianareo;
25but what ye have hold fast till I shall come.
25kanefa izay anananareo dia tano mafy mandra-pihaviko.
26And he that overcomes, and he that keeps unto the end my works, to him will I give authority over the nations,
26Ary izay maharesy ka mitandrina ny asako hatramin'ny farany dia homeko fahefana amin'ny jentilisa;
27and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; as vessels of pottery are they broken in pieces, as I also have received from my Father;
27ary hiandry azy amin'ny tehim-by izy ka hanorotoro azy toy ny fanorotoro vilany tany, dia araka izay efa noraisiko tamin'ny Raiko.
28and I will give to him the morning star.
28Ary homeko azy ny kintana fitarika andro.Izay manan-tsofina, aoka izy hihaino izay lazain'ny Fanahy amin'ny fiangonana. [ Gr. eklesia]
29He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
29Izay manan-tsofina, aoka izy hihaino izay lazain'ny Fanahy amin'ny fiangonana. [ Gr. eklesia]
