¹ “To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: “He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:

¹Tz'îban riq'uin lix takl li Dios li na-iloc reheb li jun ch'ûtal chi aj pâbanel li cuanqueb Efeso ut tâye re chi jo'ca'in: -Li cuan cuukub chi chahim sa' xnim uk', li yô chi bêc sa' xyânkeb li cuukub chi candelero yô chixyebal êre chi jo'ca'in:

² “I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.

²Lâin ninnau chixjunil li nequebânu. Ninnau nak cau nequexc'anjelac ut ninnau ajcui' nak inc'a' nach'inan êch'ôl. Ninnau nak xic' nequeril li neque'xbânu mâusilal. Xeq'ue retal li ani xe'xq'ue ribeb chok' apóstol ut mâcua'eb. Ut xenau nak aj balak'eb ut aj tic'ti'eb.

³ You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have TR adds “have labored and” not grown weary.

³Ninnau nak nabal li raylal xec'ul sa' inc'aba' lâin. Abanan nequecuy xnumsinquil. Ut inc'a' xch'inan êch'ôl. Ninnau nak cau nequexc'anjelac yal xban inrâbal lâin.

⁴ But I have this against you, that you left your first love.

⁴Abanan cuan jun êpaltil chicuu. Lâex inc'a' chic niquinêra jo' nak xinêra chak junxil.

⁵ Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.

⁵Cheq'uehak retal c'a'ru xexpalto' cui'. Chijulticok' êre chanru nak xinêra chak junxil. Yot'omak êch'ôl ut jalomak êc'a'ux ut chinêrahak cui'chic jo' nak xinêra chak junxil. Cui inc'a' tâyot'ek' êch'ôl ut têjal êc'a'ux, lâin tincuisi lê candelero sa' xna'aj chi junpât.

⁶ But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

⁶Abanan cuan jun li us nequebânu. Lâex xic' nequeril li mâusilal li neque'xbânu li neque'tâken re li cuînk laj Nicolás. Jo'can ajcui' lâin. Xic' nacuil li mâusilal li neque'xbânu eb a'an.

⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.

⁷Cui têraj xtaubal ru lix yâlal, cheq'uehak retal li naxye li Santil Musik'ej reheb laj pâbanel. Li ani tixcuy xnumsinquil chixjunil li raylal a'in ut inc'a' nach'inan xch'ôl sa' lix pâbâl, lâin tinq'ue lix yu'am chi junelic. Ut a'an tâcuânk riq'uin li Dios chi junelic sa' lix santil na'aj, chan li C'ajolbej reheb laj Efeso.

⁸ “To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:

⁸Ut quixye cui'chic cue: -Tz'îban riq'uin lix takl li Dios, li na-iloc reheb li jun ch'ûtal chi aj pâbanel li cuanqueb Esmirna. Ut tâye re: Li ac cuan chak sa' xticlajic ut cuânk ajcui' toj sa' roso'jic, li quicam ut quicuacli cui'chic chi yo'yo sa' xyânkeb li camenak, naxye êre chi jo'ca'in:

⁹ “I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

⁹Lâin ninnau chanru cuanquex. Ninnau chixjunil li raylal nequec'ul. Ninnau nak neba'ex. Abanan cuan êbiomal riq'uin li Dios. Ninnau nak nequexmajecuâc xbaneb li neque'xye nak tz'akaleb aj judío, abanan inc'a' neque'c'anjelac chiru li Dios. Aj c'anjeleb ban chiru laj tza.

¹⁰ Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

¹⁰Mexxucuac xban li raylal li tâchâlk sa' êbên. Cuanqueb sa' êyânk li te'q'uehek' sa' tz'alam xbaneb laj c'anjel chiru laj tza re xyalbal rix lê pâbâl. Têc'ul raylal, abanan inc'a' najt têc'ul. Mich'inan êch'ôl. Cauhak ban êch'ôl toj chirix lê camic ut lâin tinq'ue êre lê k'ajcâmunquil. Chanchan nak tinq'ue lê corona nak tinq'ue lê yu'am chi junelic.

¹¹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won’t be harmed by the second death.

¹¹Cui têraj xtaubal ru lix yâlal, cheq'uehak retal li naxye li Santil Musik'ej reheb laj pâbanel. Li ani tixcuy xnumsinquil chixjunil li raylal a'in ut inc'a' nach'inan xch'ôl sa' lix pâbâl, li jun a'an inc'a' tixc'ul lix cab xcamic. Inc'a' tâxic sa' xbalba, chan li C'ajolbej reheb laj Esmirna.

¹² “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:

¹²Ut quixye cui'chic cue: -Tz'îban riq'uin lix takl li Dios li na-iloc reheb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb Pérgamo ut tâye re: Li cuan xch'îch' ca' pac'al xk'esnal naxye êre chi jo'ca'in:

¹³ “I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn’t deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

¹³Lâin ninnau chanru nak cuanquex. Lâin ninnau nak cuan xcuanquil laj tza sa' li tenamit li cuanquex cui'. Abanan lâex toj yôquex chinlok'oninquil. Inc'a' xecanab inpâbanquil usta quicamsîc laj Antipas xban nak quixye cuesilal aran sa' lê tenamit li cuan rubel xcuanquil laj tza.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.

¹⁴Abanan cuan c'a'ak re ru yôquex chixbânunquil inc'a' us xban nak cuanqueb sa' êyânk li toj yôqueb chixq'uebal xcuanquil lix tijleb laj Balaam li quic'utuc chiru laj Balac chanru nak tixq'ueheb chi mâcobc laj Israel. Quixye reheb nak târûk te'xtzaca li tzacaêmk li mayejanbil chiru li jalanil dios. Ut quixtacchi'iheb re nak te'yumbêtak ut te'co'bêtak.

¹⁵ So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise TR reads “which I hate” instead of “likewise” .

¹⁵Ut cuanqueb ajcui' sa' êyânk li toj neque'xq'ue xcuanquil lix tijleb laj Nicolás. Lâin xic' nacuil li mâusilal li neque'xbânu eb a'an.

¹⁶ Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

¹⁶Jo'can nak isihomakeb sa' êyânk li inc'a' useb xna'leb. Cui inc'a' nequerisiheb, lâin tinxic chi junpât êriq'uin ut tinpletik riq'uineb. Chanchan nak tincamsiheb riq'uin k'esnal ch'îch' nak tinsach ruheb riq'uin li cuâtin.

¹⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, Manna is supernatural food, named after the Hebrew for “What is it?”. See Exodus 11:7-9. and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.

¹⁷Cui têraj xtaubal ru lix yâlal, cheq'uehak retal li naxye li Santil Musik'ej reheb laj pâbanel. Li ani tixcuy xnumsinquil chixjunil li raylal a'in ut inc'a' nach'inan xch'ôl sa' lix pâbâl, lâin tinq'ue li choxahil cua li inc'a' na-ilman ru chixtzaca. Ut tinq'ue ajcui' jun li saki pec re ut tz'îbanbilak chiru jun li ac' c'aba'ej. Mâ ani tâna'ok re li c'aba'ej. Ca'aj cui' li ani li tâc'uluk re, chan li C'ajolbej reheb laj Pérgamo.

¹⁸ “To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:

¹⁸Ut quixye ajcui' cue: -Tz'îban riq'uin lix takl li Dios li na-iloc reheb li jun ch'ûtal chi aj pâbanel li cuanqueb Tiatira ut tâye re: Li C'ajolbej, li nalemtz'un xnak' ru chanchan xam ut li rok chanchan li châbil ch'îch' bronce li nalemtz'un, naxye êre chi jo'ca'in:

¹⁹ “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.

¹⁹Lâin ninnau chanru nak cuanquex. Ninnau nak nequexrahoc ut nequexpâban. Ninnau nak cau nequexc'anjelac chicuu ut nabal li raylal nequecuy. Lâin ninnau nak k'axal cui'chic cau yôquex chi c'anjelac chiru li xebânu junxil.

²⁰ But I have this against you, that you tolerate your TR, NU read “that” instead of “your” woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

²⁰Abanan inc'a' nacuulac chicuu nak nequec'am êrib sa' usilal riq'uin li ixk li yibru xna'leb li chanchan lix na'leb lix Jezabel. Li ixk a'an naxq'ue rib chok' xprofeta li Dios, abanan moco yâl ta. Yô ban chixbalak'inquileb laj c'anjel chicuu. Riq'uin li naxbânu yô chixc'ambaleb xbe chi yumbêtac ut chi co'bêtac. Ut yô ajcui' chixc'ambaleb xbe chixtzacanquil li tzacaêmk mayejanbil chiru li jalanil Dios.

²¹ I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.

²¹Lâin xcuaj raj nak tixyot' xch'ôl ut tixjal xc'a'ux ut xcuoybeni re tixbânu. Abanan inc'a' naraj xcanabanquil li mâusilal.

²² Behold, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.

²²A'ut anakcuan lâin tinq'ue junak yajel sa' xbên re nak tât'anek' sa' ch'ât. Ut eb li neque'xbânu mâusilal riq'uin te'xc'ul ajcui' li raylal cui inc'a' neque'yot'e' xch'ôl ut cui inc'a' neque'xcanab xbânunquil li mâusilal li naxbânu a'an.

²³ I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

²³Ut tink'axtesiheb chi câmc li neque'tâken re. Ut riq'uin a'in te'xq'ue retal chixjunileb laj pâbanel nak lâin ninnau c'a'ru nanume' sa' xch'ôleb li junjûnk. Lâin ninnau c'a'ru nequec'oxla. Ut lâin tinq'ue êk'ajcâmunquil chêjûnkal a' yal chanru lê yehom êbânuhom.

²⁴ But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as don’t have this teaching, who don’t know what some call ‘the deep things of Satan,’ to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.

²⁴Mâc'a' tinye êre re êk'usbal lâex aj Tiatira li jo' q'uialex inc'a' xetzol êrib riq'uin li tijleb li neque'xch'olob eb a'an, xban nak a'an xmâus aj na'leb laj tza.

²⁵ Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.

²⁵Ca'aj cui' tinye êre a'in: Cacuubresihomak êch'ôl sa' lê pâbâl toj tâcuulak xk'ehil nak tincuulak êriq'uin.

²⁶ He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.

²⁶Li ani naxcuy xnumsinquil chixjunil li raylal a'in ut inc'a' nach'inan xch'ôl sa' lix pâbâl ut tixbânu li c'a'ru nacuaj toj sa' roso'jic, lâin tinq'ue xcuanquil chi taklânc sa' xbêneb li tenamit.

²⁷ He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots; Psalm 2:9 as I also have received of my Father:

²⁷Eb a'an te'taklânk sa' xbêneb li tenamit chi cau. Chanchan nak te'xtaklaheb riq'uin jun li xuk' ch'îch'. Ut tâsachek' xcuanquileb li te'taklânk cui'. Chanchan nak najore' junak ch'och' uc'al. Lâin tinq'ue lix cuanquileb jo' li cuanquil li quixq'ue cue lin Yucua'.

²⁸ and I will give him the morning star.

²⁸Ut lâin tinq'ue ajcui' reheb lix lok'aleb, chanchan xch'ina'usal li cak chahim.Cui têraj xtaubal ru lix yâlal, cheq'uehak retal li naxye li Santil Musik'ej reheb laj pâbanel, chan li C'ajolbej reheb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb Tiatira.

²⁹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

²⁹Cui têraj xtaubal ru lix yâlal, cheq'uehak retal li naxye li Santil Musik'ej reheb laj pâbanel, chan li C'ajolbej reheb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb Tiatira.
