Fweny 3
1 “Ndik ne malaika morito kanisa man Sarde kama: Magi e weche mag Jal motingʼo Roho abiriyo mag Nyasaye kod sulwe abiriyo. Angʼeyo timbeni; kendo kaka igeno ni in gi nying ni ingima to adiera isetho.
AND to the angel of the church in Sardis write, These things saith he that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, and that thou hast a name, as though thou wert alive, yet art dead.
2 Omiyo chiew! Mondo ijiw gima pod odongʼno kapok otho chuth, nimar timbeni ayudo korem e nyim Nyasaye.
Be vigilant and strengthen the things which remain, which are ready to die; for I have not found thy works complete before God.
3 Emomiyo par ane gik mane opuonji kendo mane isewinjo, makgi kendo lokri iwe richo. Ka ok ichiew to abiro biro apoya mana kaka jakuo ma ok ibi ngʼeyo sa ma anabiyee iri.
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and observe, and repent. If then thou art not found watching, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou shalt in no wise know at what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Kata kamano nitie jomoko manok e dala mar Sarde ma ok osechido lepgi. Gin to gini wuothi koda ka girwakore gi lewni marochere nikech gin joma owinjore.
Thou hast a few names even in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white robes, for they are worthy.
5 Ngʼat molocho bende norwakre gi lewni marochere kaka gin, bende ok naruch nyinge e kitap ngima, to abiro hulo nyinge e nyim Wuora gi Malaike mage.
He that overcometh, this man shall be clothed in white robes; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ni kanisa.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
7 “Ndik ne Malaika morito kanisa man Filadelfia kama: Magi e weche mag Jal maler kendo ma ja-adiera, motingʼo kifungu mar Daudi. Gima oyawo to onge ngʼama nyalo loro; kendo gima oloro to onge ngʼama nyalo yawo.
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, These things saith the Holy One, he that is true, who hath the key of David, who openeth, and none shutteth, and shutteth, and no man openeth.
8 Angʼeyo timbeni. Omiyo aseyawoni dhoot kendo onge ngʼama nyalo lore. Angʼeyo ni in giteko matin to kata kamano iserito wachna bende ok isekweda.
I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it; because thou hast but little strength, yet hast thou kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Abiro miyo joma lamo Satan, maluongore ni gin jo-Yahudi to ok gin. Jogi gin jomiriambo. Abiro chunogi mondo gipodhi e tiendu eka gingʼe ni aherou.
Behold, I give thee out of Satan’s synagogue those who say they are Jews, yet they are not, but do lie. Lo! I will make them that they shall come and prostrate themselves at thy feet, and they shall know that I have loved thee.
10 Nikech iserito chikna ka ihoyori mos kuom masira, abiro riti maber e ndalo mar masira mabiro yudo piny duto mondo otemgo joma odak e piny.
Because thou hast keep the word of my patience, I also will preserve thee from the hour of temptation, which is coming upon the whole habitable globe to try the dwellers upon earth.
11 Abiro biro piyo. Omiyo mak matek gima in-go mondo kik ngʼato mayi osimboni.
Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 Ngʼat molocho anami obed siro e hekalu mar Nyasacha. Ok enochak owuog kanyo. Anandik nying Nyasacha kuome bende anandik nying dala mar Nyasacha ma en Jerusalem manyien, mabiro aa e polo kuom Nyasacha kendo abiro ndiko nyinga maler kuome.
He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall never more go out from thence: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
13 Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ni kanisa.
He that hath an ear to hear, let him ear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
14 “Ndik ne malaika morito kanisa man Laodikia kama: Magi e weche moa kuom Jal miluongo ni Amin, Jal ma ja-adiera kendo janeno ma Ja-ratiro, Jalno ma jaloch kuom chwech duto mag Nyasaye.
And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the origin of the creation of God;
15 Angʼeyo timbeni ni ok ingʼich bende ok iliet. Dine ber kibedo maliet kata mangʼich!
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot:
16 To nikech koro indhem-ndhem, ok iliet bende ok ingʼich, abiro ngʼogi oko.
I wish thou wert cold or hot. So because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit thee out of my mouth:
17 Iwacho ni, ‘An jamoko; kendo ni aseyudo mwandu mathoth bende onge gima achando.’ To ok ingʼeyo ni in ngʼat mathagore mogik; idhier, in ngʼat monego okechi; bende in muofu kendo in duk.
because thou sayest, I am rich, and wallow in wealth, and have no want unsupplied; yet thou knowest not that thou art wretched, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
18 To angʼadoni rieko mondo ibi ingʼiew kuoma dhahabu mopwodhi gi mach mondo ibed jamoko. Ngʼiew lewni marochere kuoma mondo irwakrigo oumni dugi makeloni wichkuot. Ngʼiew yath kuoma mondo ithiedh-go wangʼi mondo inen.
I advise thee to buy of me gold purified by the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white robes, that thou mayest be completely clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thine eyes with a collyrium, that thou mayest see.
19 Joma ahero ema akwero kendo akumo. Omiyo bed ja-adiera kendo ilok chunyi iwe timo richo.
As many as I love, I rebuke and correct: be zealous then, and repent.
20 Ne! Achungʼ e dhoot kendo aduongʼo, ka ngʼato angʼata owinjo dwonda mi oyawona dhoot to abiro donjo ire mi achiem kode to en bende ochiem koda.
Lo! I stand at the door, and knock: if any person hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and I will sup with him, and he with me.
21 Ngʼat molocho anami thuolo mar bedo koda e kom duongʼna mana kaka an bende kane aselocho ne abedo gi wuora e kom duongʼne.
He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit on my throne, as I also have overcome, and have sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 Ngʼat man-gi it mondo owinj gima Roho wacho ni kanisa.”
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
