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 minister of the Church at Sardis write as follows: "'This is what He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars says. I know your doings--you are supposed to be alive, but in reality you 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.
Rouse yourself and keep awake, and strengthen those things which remain but have well-nigh perished; for I have found no doings of yours free from imperfection 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.
Be mindful, therefore, of the lessons you have received and heard. Continually lay them to heart, and repent. If, however, you fail to rouse yourself and keep awake, I shall come upon you suddenly like a thief, and you will certainly not know the hour at which I shall come to judge you.
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.
Yet you have in Sardis a few who have not soiled their garments; and they shall 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.
"'In this way he who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments; and I will certainly not blot out his name from the Book of Life, but will acknowledge him in the presence of My Father and His angels.
6 Mueihla loh hlangboel rhoek taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh.
Let all who have ears give heed to 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 minister of the Church at Philadelphia write as follows: "'This is what the holy One and the true says--He who has the key of David--He who opens and no one shall shut, and shuts and no one shall open.
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 your doings. I have put an opened door in front of you, which no one can shut; because you have but a little power, and yet you have guarded My word and have not disowned Me.
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.
I will cause some belonging to Satan's synagogue who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are liars--I will make them come and fall at your feet and know for certain that I have loved you.
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 in spite of suffering you have guarded My word, I in turn will guard you from that hour of trial which is soon coming upon the whole world, to put to the test the inhabitants of the earth.
11 Ka pawk tonghnae coeng, na khueh te muk laeh. Na rhuisam te hang rhawt boel saeh.
I am coming quickly: cling to that which you already possess, so that your wreath of victory be not taken away from you.
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.
"'He who overcomes--I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of My God, and he shall never go out from it again. And I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which is to come down out of Heaven from My God, and My own new name.
13 Mueihla loh hlangboel rhoek taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh.
Let all who have ears give heed to 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.
"And to the minister of the Church at Laodicea write as follows: "'This is what the Amen says--the true and faithful witness, the Beginning and Lord 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 your doings--you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you 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.
Accordingly, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, before long I will vomit you 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.
You say, I am rich, and have wealth stored up, and I stand in need of nothing; and you do not know that if there is a wretched creature it is you -- pitiable, poor, blind, 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.
Therefore I counsel you to buy of Me gold refined in the fire that you may become rich, and white robes to put on, so as to hide your shameful nakedness, and eye-salve to anoint your eyes with, so that you may be able to see.
19 Kai loh ka lungnah atah muep ka toeltham tih ka ueih sak. Thatlai tangloeng lamtah yut laeh.
All whom I hold dear, I reprove and chastise; therefore be in earnest 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.
I am now standing at the door and am knocking. If any one listens to My voice and opens the door, I will go in to be with him and will feast with him, and he shall feast 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 privilege of sitting down with Me on My throne, as I also have overcome and have sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 Mueihla loh hlangboel taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti.
Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'"
