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.
Kuka malaika jwa Likanisha lya ku Shalidi nnjandishe nnei. “Gegano ni malobhe ga bhene bhakwete mbumu shabha ya a Nnungu, na ndondwa shabha ila. Niimanyi itendi yako, nkali ushuma kuti ukwete gumiyo, ugwe uwile.
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.
Jumuka na ubhishe ukoto yowe ili tome nawa, pabha niibhweni itendi yako kuti yangakamilika pa meyo ga a Nnungu bhangu.
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.
Bhai kumbushila majiganyo guupegwilwe na guupilikene gala, ugakamulile nikwiipeta yambi yako. Ukasheye, shinikujiile shiimushila malinga shakwiya nngwii, wala ukagamanya malanga gushinikujiile.
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.
Ikabheje ukwete bhandu bhashoko ku Shalidi bhakanabhe nyatiyanga nngubho yabhonji. Bhene bhanganyabho ni shibhalongane na nne bhawetenje nngubho yanawe, pabha ni bhaapinjikwanga.”
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.
Jwene shaakombolejo shawashwe nngubho yanawe malinga bhanganyabho, na nne ngalishoya lina lyakwe nshitabhu sha gumi, ikabheje shingong'ondele lina lyakwe pa meyo ga Atati na pa meyo ga ashimalaika bhabho.
6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Jwene akwete makutujo apilikane, gene gabhelenje Mbumu ku makanisha.
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.
Kuka malaika jwa Likanisha lya ku Piladelipia nnjandishe nnei. “Gegano ni malobhe gubhaabheleketa bhene bha ukonjelo na bha kweli, bhakwete upunguo gwa a Daudi. Bhaugulaga jwakwa shaakombole kuugala, na bhaugalaga jwakwa shaakombole kuugula.
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.
Niimanyi itendi yako. Lola mmujo jako njibhika nnango gwanng'ugulwe na jwakwapi shaakombole kuugala. Nimumanyi kuti ukwete mashili gashoko, ikabheje ushikamulila lilobhe lyangu na gwangalikana lina lyangu.
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.
Lola, shinikupe bhene bha nyumba jika Lishetani bhakwiishemanga Bhayaudi bhalinginji nngabha Bhayaudi, mbena bhanami. Shinaatendanje bhakutindibhalilanje pa makongono gako, bhamumanyanje kuti nne nikupinjile.
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.
Pabha ushikamulila lilobhe lyangu lya kwiipililila, numbe nne shinikubhishile ulinda ushoshe mmalanga ga shilaje gakwiya pa shilambolyo powe, nkupinga kwaalinganga bhaatamangana pa shilambolyo.
11 I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
Ngunakwiya shangu. Ukamulile ukoto shiukwete, nkupinga mundu anakupokonyole shilemba shako.”
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.
Jwene shaakombole kutenda ukoto kupunda bhananjijo, shinintende kubha lipoto lya liekalu lya a Nnungu bhangu, na akashoka mwenemo kabhili. Na kabhili pa ntundu jakwe shinyandishe lina lya a Nnungu bhangu, na lina lya shilambo sha a Nnungu bhangu, yani Yelushalemu ja ambi, jituluka kopoka kunnungu, kwa a Nnungu bhangu. Nneila peila pa ntundu jakwe shinyandishe lina lyangu lya ambi.
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Akwete makutujo apilikane gene gabhelenje Mbumu ku makanisha.
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.
Kuka malaika jwa Likanisha lya ku Laodikia nnjandishe nnei. Gegano ni malobhe ga bhene bhali Amina yani, Nneyo Peyo, bhaakong'ondela bhaakulupalika na bha kweli, bhali nantando jwa indu yowe ipengenywe na a Nnungu.
15 I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other!
Niimanyi itendi yako kuti ugwe ukaima na wala ukaabhabhula, mbaya ukaliji jwa ima eu jwa bhabhula.
16 So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth!
Bhai, pabha ugwe ushibha jwa ntukuta, ukaima na wala ukaabhabhula shinikuune ukoposhe nkang'wa jangu.
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.
Pabha ukuti, nne tajili ngwete indu yaigwinji na ngatubhilwa na shindu, ukakwiimanya kuti gwangali mashili, na unalaga, na gwangali shindu na nangalole na uli makonope.
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.
Kwa nneyo, ngunakuupa lunda, kuume kwangu nne shaabhu jijitwilwe pa moto ubhe tajili, na kuume nngubho yanawe uwale pabha uli makonope gwiijambate. Na kabhili kuume ntela gwa taga mmeyo gakogo nkupinga ulole.
19 Those I love, I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent.
Nne ngunakwaakalipilanga na kwaakomanga bhowe bhungwaapinganga, kwa nneyo utumbilile kwiipeta yambi yako.
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.
Lola, ngunajima pa nnango niolishiya, mundu apilikanaga lilobhe lyangu niugula, shinyinjile munngwakwemo, na shutulye pamo.
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.
Jwene shaakombole kutenda ukoto kupunda bhananjijo, shinimmishe tome na shitengu shangu sha upalume, malinga nne shingombwele kutenda ukoto, gundemi tome na Atati pa shitengu shabho sha upalume.
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Akwete makutujo, apilikane gene gabheleketa Mbumu ku Makanisha.
