1 To 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 I 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 and endurest, and hast borne for my name's sake, and hast not wearied:

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

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

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

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

13 I 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 But 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 So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner.

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

17 He 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 And 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 I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thine endurance, and thy last works {to be} more than the first.

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

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

23 and 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 But 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 but what ye have hold fast till I shall come.

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

27 and 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 and I will give to him the morning star.

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

1 Tuhituhi atu ki te anahera o te hahi i Epeha; Ko nga kupu enei a te kaipupuri i nga whetu e whitu i tona matau, e haereere ana i waenganui o nga turanga rama koura e whitu;

2 Ka matau ahau ki au mahi, ki tou uaua, ki tou manawanui, e kore hoki koe e ata hanga ki te hunga kino: kua whakamatautauria hoki e koe te hunga e mea nei he apotoro ratou, a ehara, kua mau i a koe he hunga teka ratou:

3 I whakamanawanui koe, i mahi tonu, ahakoa pehia, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa, kahore hoki i hoha.

4 Otira he mea ano taku ki a koe, kua whakarerea e koe tou aroha tuatahi.

5 Na, kia mahara ki te wahi i taka iho ai koe, ripeneta, mahia hoki nga mahi o mua; ki te kahore, ka hohoro toku haere atu ki a koe, ka nekehia atu e ahau tou turanga rama i tona wahi, ki te kore koe e ripeneta.

6 Ko tenei ia tau na, e kino ana koe ki nga hanga a nga Nikoraiti, e kinongia nei hoki e ahau.

7 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi: Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ka hoatu e ahau mana e kai to te rakau o te ora, e tu ana i waenganui o te Paraiha o te Atua.

8 Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Hamurana; Ko nga kupu enei a te tuatahi, a te whakamutunga, i mate nei, a kua ora ano:

9 Ka matau ahau ki tou tukinotanga, ki tou rawakoretanga; engari he whai rawa tonu koe; e matau ana ano ahau ki nga hahani a te hunga e mea nei he Hurai ratou, a ehara, engari ko te whakamenenga ratou a Hatana.

10 Kaua e wehi ki nga mamae meake nei pa ki a koe; na, tera e maka etahi o koutou e te rewera ki te whare herehere, kia whakamatautauria ai koutou; a ka whakamamaetia koutou kotahi tekau nga ra. Kia pono koe a mate noa, a maku e hoatu ki a koe te k arauna o te ora.

11 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi; Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, e kore ia e he i te matenga tuarua.

12 Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Perekamu; Ko nga kupu enei a te kaimau i te hoari koi, i te mea matarua;

13 Ka matau ahau ki te wahi e noho na koe, ko te wahi ia i te torona o Hatana: e mau ana hoki koe ki toku ingoa, kahore hoki koe i whakakahore ki toku whakapono, i nga ra i ara i taku kaiwhakaatu pono, i a Anatipa, i whakamatea nei i roto i a kouto u i te wahi e noho na a Hatana.

14 Tenei ia ETAHI MEA AKU KI A KOE, NO TE MEA KEI A KOE TE HUNGA E MAU ANA KI TE AKO A Paraama, nana nei i whakaako a Paraka ki te maka tutukitanga waewae ki te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira, i kai ai ratou i nga mea i patua ma te whakapakoko, i moe puku ai hoki.

15 Kei a koe ano hoki te hunga e mau ana ki te ako a nga Nikoraiti, pera ano.

16 No reira, ripeneta; na ki te kahore, ka hohoro toku haere atu ki a koe, a ka whawhaitia ratou e ahau ki te hoari a toku mangai.

17 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi; Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ka hoatu e ahau te mana huna, ka hoatu ano e ahau ki a ia he kohatu ma, me te ingoa hou, he mea tuhituhi ki te kohatu, e kore n ei e matauria e tetahi, ko te tangata anake e whiwhi ana.

18 Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi o Taiataira; Ko nga kupu enei a te Tama a te Atua, ko ona kanohi nei me te mea he mura ahi, ona waewae rite tonu ki te parahi paiata;

19 E matau ana ahau ki au mahi, ki tou aroha, ki tau mahi minita, ki tou whakapono, ki tou manawanui, a nui atu au mahi o muri nei i nga mea o mua.

20 Tenei ano ia etahi mea aku ki a koe, no te mea e tukua ana e koe taua wahine a Ietepere, e mea nei he poropiti ia; kei te whakaako, kei te kukume i aku pononga kia moepuku, kia kai ano hoki i nga mea e patua ana ma nga whakapakoko.

21 A i hoatu e ahau ki a ia he taima e ripeneta ai ia; otira kahore ia e pai kia ripeneta i tana moepuku.

22 Na, ka maka ia e ahau ki tetahi moenga, me te hunga e puremu ana ki a ia, ki roto ki te whiu taimaha, mehemea kahore ratou e ripeneta ki a ratou mahi.

23 Ka whakamatea hoki e ahau ana tamariki kia mate rawa; a ka matau nga hahi katoa ko ahau te kairapu i ta nga whatumanawa, i ta nga ngakau: ka rite hoki ki a koutou mahi taku e hoatu ai ki tenei, ki tenei o koutou.

24 Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, ki era atu hoki i Taiataira, ki te hunga kahore nei i a ratou tenei ako, kahore ano kia matau ki nga mea hohonu a Hatana, ki ta ratou e korero nei; E kore e whakawaha e ahau tetahi atu mea taimaha ki a koutou.

25 Ko te mea ia i a koutou, puritia kia mau kia tae atu ra ano ahau.

26 Na, ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ko te tangata hoki e puritia e ia aku mahi taea noatia te mutunga, maku e hoatu ki a ia he mana rangatira ki nga tauiwi:

27 He rino hoki te tokotoko e whakahaere tikanga ai ia mo ratou, ka pera i nga oko a te kaipokepoke paru, ka pakaru ririki; ka rite ki ta toku matua i homai ai ki ahau:

28 A ka hoatu e ahau ki a ia te whetu o te ata.

29 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi.
