Chiunukuko 3
1 “Mwalembele katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Sadi. “Yeleyi ni yakuti jwali ni Mbumu saba sya Akunnungu ni ndondwa saba. Nguimanyilila isambo yenu, nkumanyika kuti nli jwanjumi nambo, usyene mmwile.
And to the angel of the church in Sardis, write: These things says he that has the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know your works, that you have a name, that you live, and are dead.
2 Njimuche, ngalimbisye agala gambone gagasigalile kukwenu ni gelego gakaika kuwa. Pakuŵa mpaka sambano nganinagaona masengo genu kuŵa gemalilwe paujo pa Akunnungu wangu.
Be watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, which are about to die; for I have not found your works perfect before God.
3 Nipele nkumbuchile imwatite kupochela ni imwatite kupilikana ni imwatite kwitichisya yeleyo ni kugalauka ni kuleka sambi. Nambo iŵaga nganjimuka, chiiche mpela jwa wiyi, nomwe ngisimmanyilila ndaŵi jachinannyichilile.
Remember, therefore, how you have received and heard, and be watchful and repent. If, therefore, you do not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.
4 Nambo nkwete ŵandu ŵangatupa ku Sadi ŵangananyakasya nguo syao. Ŵelewo chajende none ali awete iwalo yeswela pakuŵa akuŵajilwa.
Yet you have a few names in Sardis that have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
5 “Juchapunde chinawasye iwalo yeswela mpela ŵanyawo, none ngisinalityosya ng'o liina lyakwe mu chitabu cha umi. Sooni chinyitichisye kwa kang'wa jangu paujo pa Atati ŵangu, ni paujo pa achikatumetume ŵao ŵa kwinani kuti jwelejo ali jwangu.
He that overcomes, shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot his name out of the book of life: and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 “Jwakwete mapilikanilo gakupilikanila, apilikane agala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu gakwasalila mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
7 “Kwa katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Filadefia mwalembele yelei. “Yeleyi ni yakuti kusala ajula jwanswela ni jwausyenesyene, jwakwete ukombole wa kwalechela ŵandu ajinjile mu umwenye wakwe. Ni jwakuugula nnango, ni ngapagwa jwakukombola kuugala. Ni jwakuugala nnango ni ngapagwa jwakukombola kuugula.
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia, write: These things says he that is holy, he that is true, he that has the key of David, he that opens and no man shuts, and shuts and no man opens;
8 Nguimanyilila ipanganyo yenu, ngumanyilila kuti nkwete machili gamanandi nambo nkamulisye liloŵe lyangu ni nganinlikana liina lyangu. Mpilikane! Misile paujo penu nnango weugule, ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kuugala.
I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door that no one is able to shut, because you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name.
9 Mpilikane! Ngumpa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵa nyuumba ja kupopelela ja Shetani, ŵakuliŵilanga Ŵayahudi nambo nganaŵa ŵayahudi, nambo ali ŵakulambusya. Mpilikane! Chinaatende aichanje ni kuntindiŵalila paujo pa sajo syenu ni amanyilile kuti nannonyele.
Behold, I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them come and worship before your feet, and know that I have loved you.
10 Pakuŵa nlikamulisye liloŵe nkupililila, none jwakwe chinangose katema ka malagasyo, kakali chile kuchiichilila chilambo chose, kuti ŵaalinje ŵelewo ŵakutama pachilambo.
Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of trial that is about to come on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.
11 Ngwika chitema, muukamulisye kwannope utenga wa chikulupi umpochele, kuti mundu jwalijose anakombole kunsumula mbote jenu.
I come quickly: hold fast that which you have, that no one take your crown.
12 “Juchapunde chinantende aŵe luchanamila pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu nombe ngasakopoka mwelemo ng'o. Sooni chilembe pachanya pakwe liina lya Akunnungu ŵangu ni liina lya musi wa Akunnungu ŵangu, yaani Yelusalemu wa sambano, musi uchiutuluche kutyochela kwinani kwa Akunnungu ŵangu. Iyoyo chinembe pachanya pakwe liina lyangu lya sambano.
Him that overcomes, I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and I will write upon him my new name.
13 “Jwakwete mapilikanilo gakupilikanila, apilikane agala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu gakwasalila mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
14 “Mwalembele yeleyi katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Laodikia. “Uneji nguŵilanjikwa Eloo, jwaumboni jwakukulupilichika jwausyene, ndande ja yepanganyikwe yose yaigumbile Akunnungu, nguti yelei.
And to the angel of the church in Laodicea, write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 Nguimanyilila ipanganyo yenu, kuti nganimma ŵa kusisima atamuno ŵa mooto. Ikaliji mmbaya nkaliji ŵa kusisima pane ŵa mooto.
I know your works, that you are neither cold, nor hot: I wish that you were cold, or hot.
16 Nipele pakuŵa ndi ŵantukuta, nganimma ŵa kusisima namuno ŵa mooto, chinanlukule ntyoche mukang'wa jangu.
So, then, because you are luke-warm, and neither cold, nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
17 Ligongo nkuti, ‘Ndili jwakusichila ni ngwete ipanje, ngangulajila chindu chachili chose.’ Nambo ngankumanyilila kuti nli jwausauchi ni jwakulaga ni jwaulanda ni jwangalola sooni nli matakope.
Because you say I am rich, and abound in wealth, and have need of nothing, and know not that you are miserable and pitiable and poor and blind and naked,
18 Ngumpa lunda kuti, nsuume kwangune sahabu jejenjetukule ni mooto, kuti nsichile ni kusuma iwalo yeswela kuti mbwale, ni kusisa soni sya kutama kwenu matakope. Iyoyopeyo nsuume ntela ni kupakala mmeeso genu kuti nkombole kulola.
I counsel you to buy of me gold that has been tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, 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 Uneji ngwajamuka ni kwalamula wose ŵangwanonyela. Nipele nlimbile ni kuleka sambi syenu.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous, therefore, and repent.
20 Mpilikane! Ngwima pannango ni kupoposya, mundu apilikanaga liloŵe lyangu ni kuugula, chinyinjile kwa jwelejo, none chilye pamo ni jwelejo ni jwelejo pamo ni une.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 “Juchapunde chinjalechelela kutama chiŵandi ni une pa chitengu changu cha umwenye, mpela une indite kupunda ni kutama chiŵandi ni Atati ŵangu pachitengu chao cha umwenye.
To him that overcomes, I will give to sit with me in my throne, even as I also have overcome, and have taken my seat with my father in his throne.
22 “Jwakwete mapilikanilo gakupilikanila, apilikane agala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu gakwasalila mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.”
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
