OET (OET-RV) So now, you need to remember where you’ve fallen from, and repent and repeat how you behaved at the beginning, but if you don’t, I’ll come to you and if you don’t repent, I’ll remove your lampstand from its place.
OET-LV Therefore be_remembering from_where you_have_fallen and repent, and the first works do.
And if not, I_am_coming to_you and will_be_removing the lampstand of_you out_of the place of_it, if not you_may_repent.

2:5 Christ calls even those who keep the faith to turn back to him and repent of cold-heartedness. The warning, I will come and remove your lampstand, means that they would lose their status as a church; God would treat them as he did the apostates within Israel (see Rom 11).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πόθεν πέπτωκας
from_where ˱you˲_/have/_fallen
Jesus is speaking as if the believers in Ephesus have literally fallen from a height. He means that they are no longer devoted to him in the way they originally were. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “how much you once loved me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τὰ πρῶτα ἔργα ποίησον
the first works do
Here the word first indicates earliest in time rather than chief in importance. Alternate translation: “demonstrate your devotion to me in the way you did originally”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
κινήσω τὴν λυχνίαν σου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῆς
/will_be/_removing the lampstand ˱of˲_you out_of the place ˱of˲_it
Jesus is not speaking of a literal lampstand here; when he says that he will remove this lampstand, he means that the assembly of believers in Ephesus will no longer exist. However, since Jesus refers to the lampstands in John’s vision at the opening of this letter, it would be good to show the connection between the reference there and the reference here. In your translation, you might translate the term lampstand directly here but then explain its meaning. Alternate translation: “I will remove your lampstand from its place, yes, you will no longer be a church”
