< Revelation 3 >

1 “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of the One who holds the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation for being alive, yet you are dead.
Sardis khaw awhkaw khan ceityih a venawh qee lah: Vawhkaw awikhqi vetaw Khawsa Myihla khqih ingkaw aihchi khqih ak bawmkung ak awikhqi ni. Na ik-oeih sainaak ce sim nyng, ak hqing a myihna tyk hlai hyk ti thi hyk ti.
2 Wake up and strengthen what remains, which was about to die; for I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of My God.
Tho lah! ak thi tawm na pum ce tha awm sak lah, ka Khawsa a mik huh awh na ik-oeih sainaak ak soep te am hu nyng.
3 Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you.
Cedawngawh, ik-oeih na huh ingkaw nang zaak ce poek lah, ce ak awi ce ngai nawhtaw zut lah. Cehlai amna thawh awhtaw, quk-ai a myihna law kawng nyng, ityk awh na venawh ka law tice am sim kawp ti.
4 But you do have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments, and because they are worthy, they will walk with Me in white.
Cehlai bainaak amak kawlh thlang a khoeh Sardis khaw awh awm hyn hy. Ce mihkhqi cetaw hik bawk bai kawm usaw kai ing cet haih kawng unyng, cekkhqi cetaw kai mi ceh aham ak tyng khqi ni.
5 Like them, he who overcomes will be dressed in white. And I will never blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father and His angels.
Cekkhqi myihna ak noeng thlangkhqi taw hik bawk bai lawt kawm uh. Anih ang ming ce ityk awh awm hqingnaak cabu khui awhkawng am hqe pe kawng, ka Pa ingqawi khan ceityih haiawh ang ming ce kai ing simpyi lawt kawng.
6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
U awm haa ak ta ingtaw, Myihla ing thlangboelkhqi venawh ak kqawn peek awi ce za seh.
7 To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the One who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open.
Philadelphia khaw awhkaw thlangboel khan ceityih a venawh qee lah: Ve ak awikhqi vetaw a kut awh David a cabi ak awm, thlakciim ingkaw ak thym ak awi ni. Anih ing am awng ce u ingawm am khai thai kawmsaw, a khaih ce u ingawm am awng thai kaw.
8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name.
Na ik-oeih sainaak ce sim nyng. Toek lah, U ingawm ama khaih thai chawh ak awng qu ce na haiawh ta law nyng. Nak tha am awm hlai hy, kak awi ce khoem tiksaw kang ming ce am oelh hyk ti.
9 Look at those who belong to the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews but are liars instead. I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will know that I love you.
Setan a sinakawk na ak awmkhqi, Juda thlang na am awm loei saw ak sa qu thlangkhqi qaai ak kqawnkhqi ce – nangmih a venawh law sak kawng nyngsaw nangmih a khawkung awh khuk sym sak kawng, nangmih kai ing ni lungna nyng tice cekkhqi ing sim kawm uh.
10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
Kak awipeek ce kawdungnaak ing nami yh a dawngawh kai ingawm khawmdek pum khanawh ak awm thlangkhqi noekdak aham ak law hly kawi kyinaak khuiawh kawng ni hoep khqi kawng.
11 I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
Law nai hawh kawng. U ingawm boei lumyk ce ama ni qawtnaak aham na taak ce ak cakna tu khak lah.
12 The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will never again leave it. Upon him I will write the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from My God), and My new name.
Ak noeng thlang cetaw ka Khawsa a tempul ak tung na sai kawng nyng. Cawhkawng ityk awh awm am cehta voel kaw. Anih a dawngawh ka Khawsang ming ing ka Khawsa a khawk bau ming ce qee pe kawng nyngsaw; kang ming thai ce awm qee pe kawng.
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
U awm haa ak ta ingtaw, thlangboelkhqi venawh Myihla ing ak kqawn peek awi ce za seh.
14 To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Originator of God’s creation.
Laodicea khaw awhkaw thlangboel khan ceityih a venawh awh qee lah: Ve ak awikhqi taw Amen, ypawm ingkaw dyihthing thym, Khawsa ik-oeih sai ak ukkung ak awikhqi ni.
15 I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other!
Na bibinaak ce sim nyng, ding awm am ding tiksaw ling awm am ling hyk ti. Pynoet na na awm qep aham ngaih hlai nyng!
16 So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth!
Na oih kqoeng a dawngawh – ling awm am ling hyk ti, ding awm am ding hyk ti – kam khak khuiawh kawng ni sa tawm hawh nyng.
17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.
Namah ingtaw, ‘boei nyng, khawhthem awm ta nyng ikaw awm am ngoe voel nyng,’ tihyk ti. Ngaihak khawbing, qeen ak kap, khawdeng, mikhyp ingkaw ak pum a zal na na awm ce am sim hyk ti.
18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, white garments so that you may be clothed and your shameful nakedness not exposed, and salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
Na boeinaak aham kai a venawh kaw sui mai awh a hloei ce ve thlai lah; chahnaak ak awm ak pum a zal na na awmnaak ce na singdahnaak aham hik bawk ve thlai lah; khaw na huhnaak thai aham miksi ve sak lah.
19 Those I love, I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent.
Ka lungnaak thlang ce toel nyngsaw cuk am kik nyng. Cedawngawh ak thym na awm nawh zut lah.
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me.
Ngai lah chawmkeng awh dyi nyng saw khoek nyng. U ingawm kak awi ce za nawh chawh ce am awng awhtaw, kun kawng nyng saw anih ing buh ai haih kawng nyng, anih awm kai a venawh awm lawt kaw.
21 To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
Kai ing ka noeng a dawngawh ka Pa a ngawihdoelh awh ka ning ngawih haih amyihna, ak noeng thlang cetaw boei ngawihdoelh awh kai ing ngawih haih thainaak ce pe kawng.
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
U awm haa ak ta ingtaw, Myihla ing thlangboelkhqi venawh ak kqawn peek awi ce za seh.
