1 Sardis hlangboel kah puencawn te khaw daek pah. He rhoek he Pathen kah Mueihla parhih neh aisi parhih aka khueh loh a thui. Na khoboe te ka ming. Na hing ham ming na khueh dae aka duek la na om coeng te.
“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘These are the words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know yoʋr works; yoʋ have made a name for yoʋrself and yoʋ are alive, but actually yoʋ are dead.
2 Aka hak la om lamtah duek dalh la aka hoei rhoek te duel lah. Na khoboe te ka Pathen hmaiah a soep la ka hmuh moenih.
Be watchful and strengthen what remains, which yoʋ were about to throw away, for I have not found yoʋr works to be complete in the sight of my God.
3 Na dang neh na yaak te poek tangloeng laeh. Te phoeiah tuem lamtah yut laeh. Na sap uh tangloeng pawt koinih hlanghuen bangla ka pawk vetih nang taengla ka pawk tue te na ming loengloeng mahpawh.
So remember what yoʋ have received and heard; obey it and repent. If yoʋ do not wake up, I will come upon yoʋ like a thief, and yoʋ will certainly not know at what hour I will come upon yoʋ.
4 Tedae a himbai te aka tii sak mueh te Sardis ah a ming bet na om uh. A tingtawk la a om uh dongah kai taengah a bok la pongpa uh ni.
But yoʋ have a few individuals in Sardis who have not defiled their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
5 Aka noeng tah himbai bok neh a bai sak van. Te dongah a ming te hingnah cabu lamkah ka phaeh loengloeng mahpawh. Te vaengah a pa hmai neh a puencawn rhoek hmaiah anih ming te ka phoe ni.
He who overcomes will be clothed in white garments. I will certainly not blot out his name from the book of life, but will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
6 Mueihla loh hlangboel rhoek taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’
7 Philadelphia hlangboel kah puencawn te khaw daek pah. Hlangcim loh he rhoek he a thui. Oltak, David kah cabi aka pom loh a ong phoeiah khai mahpawh. A khaih vaengah ong pah mahpawh.
“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘These are the words of him who is holy and true, who has the key of David and opens doors that no one else can open or shut:
8 Na khoboe te ka ming, na hmaiah ka khueh thohka te ong uh coeng he. Thaomnah” ayol na khueh dongah te te khaih ham a coeng moenih te. Tedae ka ol te kuem lamtah ka ming te basa tak boeh.
I know yoʋr works. Behold, I have set before yoʋ an open door that no one can shut. I know that yoʋ have little strength, but yoʋ have kept my word and have not denied my name.
9 Satan kah tunim lamloh kan saii ve he. Judah la om ham amah aka thui uh dae om uh pawt tih laithae uh. Amih te ha pawk uh vetih na kho hmaiah bakuep sak ham ka saii ni he. Te vaengah kai loh nang kan lungnah te a ming uh bitni.
Those of the synagogue of Satan are liars. They declare themselves to be Jews but are not. Behold, I will make them come and bow down at yoʋr feet, and they will know that I love yoʋ.
10 Kai kah uehnah olka te na kuem dongah kai khaw nang te diklai hmankah khosa rhoek te noemcai ham lunglai hman boeih ah aka pawk tom noemcainah tue lamkah kan hoep ni.
Because yoʋ have kept my command to persevere, I will keep yoʋ from the hour of trial that is about to come upon the whole world to test those who dwell on the earth.
11 Ka pawk tonghnae coeng, na khueh te muk laeh. Na rhuisam te hang rhawt boel saeh.
I am coming quickly. Hold fast to what yoʋ have so that no one will take yoʋr crown.
12 Aka noeng tah ka Pathen kah bawkim ah rhungsut la ka saii vetih poengla koep cet loengloeng mahpawh. Ka Pathen ming neh Jerusalem thai, ka Pathen kah khopuei, ka Pathen taengkah vaan lamkah aka suntla ming te khaw, kai kah ming thai khaw anih soah ka daek ni.
The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will no longer go out at all. I will write on him the name of my God, the name of the city of my God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from my God), and the new name he is to receive.
13 Mueihla loh hlangboel rhoek taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’
14 “Laodicea kah hlangboel puencawn te khaw daek pah. Uepom neh oltak laipai, Pathen kah suentae a tongnah loh Amen ti saeh.
“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the origin of God's creation:
15 Nang kah khoboe te ka ming. A ding la na om pawt tih na ling bal moenih. A ding mai, a ling mai lam khaw na om te ka ngaih.
I know yoʋr works; yoʋ are neither cold nor hot. If only yoʋ were cold or hot!
16 Te vanbanglapol-awp la na om dongah na ling pawt tih na ding bal moenih. Ka ka lamloh nang thaa ham ka cai coeng.
So, because yoʋ are lukewarm, and not hot or cold, I am about to spit yoʋ out of my mouth.
17 Kuirhang la ka om tih ka khuehtawn coeng dongah ka ngoe pawh tila na thui. Tedae ngaidaeng ngaikha neh lungmasingta la, khodaeng mikdael neh a tlingyal la na om te na ming moenih.
For yoʋ say, “I am rich; I have become wealthy and need nothing,” but yoʋ do not realize that yoʋ are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.
18 Hmai loh a rhoh sui te lai hamla kamah lamloh nang kang uen. Te daengah ni na khuehtawn thai eh. Himbai bok neh na khuk daengah ni na tlingyal kah yahpohnah te a phoe pawt eh. Na mik te miksi han toi daengah ni na hmuh thai eh.
I counsel yoʋ to buy from me gold refined by fire so that yoʋ may be rich, and white garments so that yoʋ may clothe yoʋrself and the shame of yoʋr nakedness may not be revealed, and eye salve to anoint yoʋr eyes so that yoʋ may see.
19 Kai loh ka lungnah atah muep ka toeltham tih ka ueih sak. Thatlai tangloeng lamtah yut laeh.
Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline. Therefore be zealous and repent.
20 Thohka ah ka pai tih ka khoek coeng he. Khat khat loh ka ol te a yaak tih thohka te a ong atah anih taengla rhep ka kun vetih anih taengah buh ka vael ni. Anih khaw kai taengah a vael ni.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me.
21 Kai khaw ka noeng tih amah kah ngolkhoel dongkah a pa taengah ka ngol bangla aka noeng long tah ka ngolkhoel sokah kamah taengah ngol ham ka paek ni.
To him who overcomes I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 Mueihla loh hlangboel taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’”
