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:

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:

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.

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;

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

³and endurest, and hast borne for my name's sake, and hast not wearied:

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

⁴but I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

⁸And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: These things says the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

¹²And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword:

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

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.

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.

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.

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

¹⁵So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner.

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

¹⁶Repent therefore: but if not, I come to thee quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.

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.

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].

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:

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:

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

¹⁹I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thine endurance, and thy last works [to be] more than the first.

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.

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.

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

²¹And I gave her time that she should repent, and she will not repent of her fornication.

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.

²²Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her 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.

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.

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

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;

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

²⁵but what ye have hold fast till I shall come.

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

²⁶And he that overcomes, and he that keeps unto the end my works, to him will I give authority over the nations,

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

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;

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

²⁸and I will give to him the morning star.

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

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