Thupualakna 3

1 Sardis pawlpi i vantungmi tung ah hibang in at in; Pathian i Thaa sali le aksi sali te in hibang in ci hi; na zia le tong kong he hi, a nungta min pu napi, na thi hi.

And by the messenger of the congregation in Sardis, write: These things says he who has the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have a name that you live, but are dead.

2 Kinging in ngak vun, a thi dektak a tanglai te thahatsak in; banghangziam cile Pathian mai ah na zia le tong a cialcing in ka mu balai hi.

Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, which are ready to die: for I have not found your works filled up in the sight of God.

3 Tua ahikom bangbang in sang a, za ni ziam, ci sia mangil heak in a, a khotak in len in, taciang ki sikkik in. Tabang in kinging in na ngak bua ahile, na kung ah nguta bang in hongpai tu ka hikom, kongpai hun zong na he bua tu hi.

Remember, therefore, how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and reform: therefore, unless you are watchful, I will come upon you as thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.

4 Ahihang Sardis ah a nik le puan a niinsak ngawl mi tawm na nei hi; taciang amate sia keima taw puanpak sil in paikhawm tu hi: banghangziam cile amate ki phu hi.

But you have a few names in Sardis, who have not polluted their garments: and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

5 Zawna nga pa sia puanpak sil tu a; nuntakna laibu sung pan in a min ka phiat batu hi, ahihang ka Pa le vantungmi te mai ah, a min ka pualak tu hi.

As for the conqueror, he shall be clothed in white apparel; and I will not blot out his name from the book of life; but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

6 Thaa i pawlpi te tung a son thu te bil nei peuma in za tahen.

Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

7 Philadelphia pawlpi i vantungmi tung ah hibang in at in; ama sia a thiangtho le a thuman hi a, David i tawtang toaipa in hibang ci hi, Ama in a hong le, kuama in khak thei ngawl a; a khak le kuama in hong thei ngawl hi;

And by the messenger of the congregation in Philadelphia, write: These things says the Holy One, the True One; who has the key, the Son of David; he who opens and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens:

8 Na zia le tong ka he hi: en in, na mai ah kongkha honsa in ka koi zo hi, kuama in khak thei ngawl hi: banghangziam cile nangma in thahatna tawm bek na nei a, ka thu zui in ka min zong nong nial bua hi.

I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it; because you have little strength, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name.

9 En in, Judah minam hi ngawl napi, Judah minam ka hi uh hi, ci in leilot thu a son te sia; Satan i synagogue in ka vawt tu a, en in, na peangbul ah hongpai in kong biasak tu a, nangma sia keima in kong it hi, ci na he tu hi.

Behold, I will give of those--who are of the assembly of Satan; who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold--I will make them to come and worship before your feet; and they shall know that I have loved you.

10 Thuakna sung ah ka thu na zui hu in, ze-etna hunsung ah kong keamcing tu hi, tasia sia leitung mihing theampo sittel na hun hong theng tu hi.

Because you have kept the word of my patience, I will also keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try the inhabitants of the earth.

11 En in, manlangtak in kongpai tu hi; na kham lukhu sia kuama in a lak thei ngawl natu in, na neisa sia khotak in len in.

I come quickly: keep that which you have, that no man take your crown.

12 Zawna nga pa sia ka Pathian biakinn sung ah khuam in ka vawt tu a, a puasang ah pusuak nawn ngawl tu hi; taciang a tung ah ka Pathian le a khuapi min ka at tu hi, tua Jerusalem khuapi sia, vantung ka Pathian kung pan in hong tuaksuk hi a: ama tung ah ka minthak ka at tu hi.

As for the conqueror, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more: and I will inscribe upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which is to come down from heaven, from my God; and my new name.

13 Thaa i pawlpi tung a son thu sia, bil nei peuma in za tahen.

Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

14 Laodicea pawlpi i vantungmi tung ah hibang in at in; Pathian i bitphuana kipatna, a muanhuai le athuman tetti, Amen in hibang in ci hi;

And by the messenger of the congregation in Laodicea, write: These things says the AMEN, the Faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:

15 Na zia le tong ka he hi, nangma sia vot le vot ngawl, sa le sa ngawl ni hi: a vot a hibale a sa tu in kong dei hi.

I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I wish you were either cold or hot.

16 Nangma sia a lum milmial, vot le vot ngawl, sa le sa ngawl na hi hu in, ka kam sung pan kong sia tu hi.

Therefore, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.

17 Mihau ka hihi, ka neisa khang saseam hi, kisapna zong ka nei bua hi, na ci hang; na toi na, khuangai huai, zawngkhal, mittaw le pumnguak na hi hunlam zong na he bua hi:

Because you say, I am wealthy, and have enriched myself, and have need of nothing; and do not know that you are wreatched and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.

18 Na hau thei natu in mei taw a ki em kham; pumnguak na hi hu in na maizumna te kilang ngawl natu in na sil tu puanpak, khua na mu thei natu in na mit na noi tu zatui sia, keima kung pan lei tu in ngaisutna kong pia hi.

I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white apparel, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness may not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye-salve, that you may see.

19 Ka it te tei in ka hil hi; tua ahikom na thin takpi taw ki sikkik in.

As many as I love, I reprove and correct; therefore, be zealous, and reform.

20 En in, kongkha bul ah ding in, ka king hi: khatpo in ka aw za a, kongkha a hong le, a kung ah ka tum tu a, ama taw an ka ne tu hi, ama zong keima taw an ne tu hi.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any one hear my voice, and open the door, I will enter into his house, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 Keima in ka zo a, ka Pa taw kumpi tokhum tung ah ka to bangma in, zawna nga te keima taw, kumpi tokhum tung ka tosak tu hi.

As for the conqueror, I will give him to sit down with me upon my throne; as I also have conquered, and sat down with my Father upon his throne.

22 Thaa in pawlpi te tung ah a son thu te bil nei peuma in za tahen, ci hi.

Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
