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]

¹`To the messenger of the Ephesian assembly write: These things saith he who is holding the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the midst of the seven lamp-stands — the golden:

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;

²I have known thy works, and thy labour, and thy endurance, and that thou art not able to bear evil ones, and that thou hast tried those saying themselves to be apostles and are not, and hast found them liars,

³ary manana faharetana ianao ka niaritra noho ny anarako sady tsy reraka.

³and thou didst bear, and hast endurance, and because of my name hast toiled, and hast not been weary.

⁴Kanefa manan-teny aminao Aho, satria efa niala tamin'ny fitiavanao voalohany ianao.

⁴`But I have against thee: That thy first love thou didst leave!

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.

⁵remember, then, whence thou hast fallen, and reform, and the first works do; and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will remove thy lamp-stand from its place — if thou mayest not reform;

⁶Kanefa izao no toetranao: halanao ny asan'ny Nikolaita, izay halako koa. [ Gr. anananao]

⁶but this thou hast, that thou dost hate the works of the Nicolaitans, that I also hate.

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]

⁷He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming — I will give to him to eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God.

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]

⁸`And to the messenger of the assembly of the Smyrneans write: These things saith the First and the Last, who did become dead and did live;

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)

⁹I have known thy works, and tribulation, and poverty — yet thou art rich — and the evil-speaking of those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but [are] a synagogue of the Adversary.

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.

¹⁰`Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the life.

¹¹Izay manan-tsofina, aoka izy hihaino izay lazain'ny Fanahy amin'ny fiangonana. Izay maharesy dia tsy hosimban'ny fahafatesana faharoa. [ Gr. eklesia]

¹¹He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: He who is overcoming may not be injured of the second death.

¹²[Pergamosy] Ary soraty ho amin'ny anjelin'ny fiangonana any Pergamosy: Izao no lazain'ilay manana ny sabatra roa lela maranitra: [ Gr. eklesia]

¹²`And to the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things saith he who is having the sharp two-edged sword:

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.

¹³I have known thy works, and where thou dost dwell — where the throne of the Adversary [is] — and thou dost hold fast my name, and thou didst not deny my faith, even in the days in which Antipas [was] my faithful witness, who was put to death beside you, where the Adversary doth dwell.

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.

¹⁴`But I have against thee a few things: That thou hast there those holding the teaching of Balaam, who did teach Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices, and to commit whoredom;

¹⁵Ary toy izany koa, misy eo aminao izay mitàna ny fampianaran'ny Nikolaita tahaka ny an'ireny.

¹⁵so hast thou, even thou, those holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans — which thing I hate.

¹⁶Koa dia mibebaha; fa raha tsy izany, dia ho avy aminao faingana Aho ka hamely ireo amin'ny sabatry ny vavako.

¹⁶`Reform! and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

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]

¹⁷He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving [it].

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]

¹⁸`And to the messenger of the assembly of Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who is having his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass;

¹⁹Fantatro ny asanao sy ny fitiavanao sy ny finoanao sy ny fanompoanao ary ny faharetanao, ary ny asanao farany dia be noho ny voalohany.

¹⁹I have known thy works, and love, and ministration, and faith, and thy endurance, and thy works — and the last [are] more than the first.

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.

²⁰`But I have against thee a few things: That thou dost suffer the woman Jezebel, who is calling herself a prophetess, to teach, and to lead astray, my servants to commit whoredom, and idol-sacrifices to eat;

²¹Ary nomeko andro hibebahany izy, nefa tsy mety mibebaka amin'ny fijangajangany izy.

²¹and I did give to her a time that she might reform from her whoredom, and she did not reform;

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.

²²lo, I will cast her into a couch, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation — if they may not repent of their 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]

²³and her children I will kill in death, and know shall all the assemblies that I am he who is searching reins and hearts; and I will give to you — to each — according to your works.

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;

²⁴`And to you I say, and to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, and who did not know the depths of the Adversary, as they say; I will not put upon you other burden;

²⁵kanefa izay anananareo dia tano mafy mandra-pihaviko.

²⁵but that which ye have — hold ye, till I may come;

²⁶Ary izay maharesy ka mitandrina ny asako hatramin'ny farany dia homeko fahefana amin'ny jentilisa;

²⁶and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations,

²⁷ary hiandry azy amin'ny tehim-by izy ka hanorotoro azy toy ny fanorotoro vilany tany, dia araka izay efa noraisiko tamin'ny Raiko.

²⁷and he shall rule them with a rod of iron — as the vessels of the potter they shall be broken — as I also have received from my Father;

²⁸Ary homeko azy ny kintana fitarika andro.Izay manan-tsofina, aoka izy hihaino izay lazain'ny Fanahy amin'ny fiangonana. [ Gr. eklesia]

²⁸and I will give to him the morning star.

²⁹Izay manan-tsofina, aoka izy hihaino izay lazain'ny Fanahy amin'ny fiangonana. [ Gr. eklesia]

²⁹He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.
