< 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.
Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Harariha; Ko nga kupu ana, kei a ia nei nga Wairua e whitu o te Atua, me nga whetu e whitu; Ka matau ahau ki au mahi, na he ingoa tou, e ora ana koe, heoi he tupapaku ano koe.
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.
Kia mataara, whakaukia nga mea e toe nei, ka tata nei te mate; kahore hoki ahau i kite i au mahi kia tino rite ki te aroaro o toku Atua.
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.
Kia mahara ra ki te rironga o nga mea i a koe, ki au i rongo ai, a puritia, ripeneta hoki. Na ki te kore koe e mataara, ka tae atu ahau ki a koe, ano he tahae; e kore hoki koe e matau ki te haora e tae atu ai ahau ki a koe.
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.
Tena ano kei a koe etahi ingoa ouou nei i Harariha, kahore nei i poke o ratou kakahu; ka haereere tahi ena me ahau, he ma nga kakahu; no te mea he pai ratou.
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.
Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ka whakakakahuria ia ki te kakahu ma; e kore ano hoki e ukuia e ahau tona ingoa i te pukapuka o te ora, a ka whakaaetia e ahau tona ingoa ki te aroaro o toku Matua, ki te aroaro ano hoki o ana anahera.
6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi.
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.
Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Pirarerepia; Ko nga kupu enei a te tapu, a te pono, kei a ia nei te ki o Rawiri, ko ia hei whakapuare, a kahore tetahi hei tutaki; mana hoki e tutaki a kahore tetahi hei whakapuare;
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.
E matau ana ahau ki au mahi: na, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou aroaro he tatau puare, e kore nei e taea te tutaki e tetahi: he kaha hoki tou, he mea iti nei, kua puritia ano e koe taku kupu, kahore ano hoki koe i whakakahore ki toku ingoa.
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.
Na, maku e mea te hunga o te whakamenenga a Hatana, e mea nei he Hurai ratou, a ehara, he teka hoki na ratou; na, maku ratou e mea kia haere mai, kia koropiko ki mua i ou waewae, a kia matau kua arohaina koe e ahau.
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.
No te mea kua puritia e koe te kupu o taku manawanui, waihoki ka puritia koe e ahau i te haora o te whakamatautauranga, i taua haora meake nei puta ki te ao katoa, hei whakamatautau i te hunga e noho ana i te whenua.
11 I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
Ka hohoro toku haere atu: kia mau ki tau, kei tangohia tou karauna e tetahi.
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.
Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, maku ia e mea hei pou i roto i te whare o toku Atua, a e kore ia e haere atu i kona ki waho a muri atu; maku hoki e tuhituhi ki runga ki a ia te ingoa o toku Atua, te ingoa hoki o te pa o toku Atua, o Hiruharam a hou, ka heke iho nei i te rangi i toku Atua, me toku ingoa hou ano hoki.
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi.
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.
Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Raorikia; Ko nga kupu enei a te Amine, a te kaiwhakaatu pono, tika, a te timatanga o ta te Atua hanganga;
15 I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other!
E matau ana ahau ki au mahi, ehara koe i te matao, ehara koe i te wera: ka pai ahau me i matao koe, me i wera ranei.
16 So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth!
Heoi, i te mea he mahanahana kau koe, ehara i te matao, ehara i te wera, ka ruakina atu koe e ahau i roto i toku mangai.
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.
No te mea e ki ana koe, Kua whai taonga ahau, kua tini aku rawa, kahore hoki tetahi mea e matea ana e ahau; kahore hoki e matau he waikorohuhu noa iho koe, he he noa iho, he rawakore, he matapo, he mea kakahukore:
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.
Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, kia hokona e koe i ahau he koura kua oti te tahu ki te ahi, kia whai rawa ai koe; he kakahu ma hoki, hei kakahu ki a koe, kia kaua ai e kitea te whakama o tou tunga kautanga; he rongoa hoki hei pani ki ou kanohi, kia kite ai koe.
19 Those I love, I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent.
Ko aku e aroha nei, ka riria e ahau, ka whiua; na, kia ngakau nui koe, ripeneta hoki.
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.
Na, tenei ahau te tu nei i te tatau, te patukituki nei: ki te whakarongo tetahi ki toku reo, a ka uaki i te tatau, ka tomo atu ahau ki a ia, hei hoa kai mona, ko ia hoki hei hoa kai moku.
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.
Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ka hoatu e ahau ki a ia kia noho ki toku taha ki runga ki toku torona, penei me ahau i ahau nei te wikitoria, kua noho ki te taha o toku Matua i runga i tona torona.
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi.
