< Revelation 3 >
1 And to the angel of the church in Sardis say: These things says he who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: I have knowledge of your works, that you seem to be living but are dead.
“Twerɛ krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfoɔ ɔwɔ asafo a ɛwɔ Sardi no sɛ: Yei ne asɛm a ɛfiri deɛ ɔwɔ Onyankopɔn ahonhom nson ne nsoromma nson no nkyɛn. Menim deɛ woreyɛ. Menim sɛ woagye din sɛ wote ase, nanso woawu.
2 Be on the watch, and make strong the rest of the things which are near to death; because as judged by me your works have not come up to God's measure.
Enti nyane, na kanyane deɛ aka wo nkyɛn no na anwu koraa. Ɛfiri sɛ, mahunu sɛ deɛ woayɛ no nya nnii mu wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
3 Keep in mind, then, the teaching which was given to you, and be ruled by it and have a change of heart. If then you do not keep watch, I will come like a thief, and you will have no knowledge of the hour when I will come on you.
Kae deɛ wɔkyerɛɛ wo no ne sɛdeɛ woteeɛ no. Di so na twe wo ho firi wo bɔne ho. Sɛ woankanyane wo ho a, mɛba wo so sɛ ɔkorɔmfoɔ, na worenhunu ɛberɛ ko a mɛba.
4 But you have some names in Sardis who have kept clean their robes; and as a reward they will go in white with me.
Nanso, mo mu kakra bi a wɔwɔ Sardi no mfaa ewiase nkekaeɛ nkekaa wɔn ntadeɛ mu. Wɔne me bɛnante a wɔhyɛ ntadeɛ fitaa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsɛ wɔn sɛ wɔyɛ saa.
5 He who overcomes will be dressed in white, and I will not take his name from the book of life, and I will give witness to his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Deɛ ɔbɛdi nkonim no, wɔbɛhyɛ no atadeɛ fitaa, na merentwa ne din mfiri ateasefoɔ nwoma no mu. Na mɛda ne din adi wɔ mʼAgya no ne nʼabɔfoɔ anim sɛ ɔyɛ me dea.
6 He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
Deɛ ɔwɔ aso no ntie deɛ Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo no.
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia say: These things says he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, opening the door so that it may be shut by no one, and shutting it so that it may be open to no one.
“Twerɛ krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔwɔ asafo a ɛwɔ Filadelfia no sɛ: Yei ne asɛm a ɛfiri deɛ ɔyɛ kronkron na ɔyɛ nokorɛ na ɔkura Dawid safoa no nkyɛn. Deɛ ɔbue a, obi ntumi nto mu na sɛ ɔto mu nso a, obi ntumi mmue no.
8 I have knowledge of your works (see, I have put before you an open door which may be shut by no one), and that you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have been true to my name.
Menim deɛ woyɛ. Menim sɛ wowɔ tumi kakra. Woadi me nkyerɛkyerɛ no so, nam so adi me nokorɛ. Mabue ɛpono bi wɔ wʼanim a obi ntumi nto mu.
9 See, I will make those of the Synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and are not, but say what is false; I will make them come and give worship before your feet, and see my love for you.
Tie! Ekuo a ɔbonsam afa wɔn no, saa atorofoɔ a wɔka sɛ wɔyɛ Yudafoɔ nanso wɔnyɛ bi no, mɛma wɔaba wʼanim abɛbu wo nkotodwe. Wɔn nyinaa bɛhunu sɛ medɔ wo.
10 Because you have kept my word in quiet strength, I will keep you from the hour of testing which is coming on all the world, to put to the test those who are on earth.
Esiane sɛ woadi me mmara so anya boasetɔ enti, sɛ ɔhaw a ɛreba ewiase nyinaa de asɔ asase so nnipa nyinaa ahwɛ no ba a, mɛgye wo afiri mu.
11 I come quickly: keep that which you have, so that no one may take your crown.
Mereba nnansa yi ara. Kora wʼagyapadeɛ, na obi anwia wo nkonim abotire no.
12 Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the house of my God, and he will go out no more: and I will put on him the name of my God, and the name of the town of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.
Deɛ ɔbɛdi nkonim no, mɛyɛ no odum me Onyankopɔn asɔredan mu, na ɔremfiri mu bio da. Mɛtwerɛ me Onyankopɔn din ne me Onyankopɔn kuro din a ɛyɛ Yerusalem foforɔ a ɛbɛfiri ɔsoro me Onyankopɔn nkyɛn aba no agu ne ho. Bio, mɛtwerɛ me din foforɔ agu ne ho.
13 He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
Deɛ ɔwɔ aso no ntie deɛ Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo no.
14 And to the angel of the church in Laodicea say: These things says the true and certain witness, the head of God's new order:
“Twerɛ krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔwɔ Laodikea asafo mu no sɛ: Yei ne asɛm a ɛfiri Amen a ɔyɛ ɔdanseni nokwafoɔ a ɔyɛ biribiara a Onyankopɔn bɔeɛ no sodifoɔ nkyɛn.
15 I have knowledge of your works, that you are not cold or warm: it would be better if you were cold or warm.
Menim deɛ woayɛ. Menim sɛ wonyɛ nwunu nso wonyɛ hye. Me pɛ ne sɛ, anka wobɛyɛ mu baako.
16 So because you are not one thing or the other, I will have no more to do with you.
Nanso, ɛsiane sɛ woyɛ boturobodwo, na wonyɛ hye na wonyɛ nwunu enti, merebɛte wo sɛ ntasuo afiri mʼanom.
17 For you say, I have wealth, and have got together goods and land, and have need of nothing; and you are not conscious of your sad and unhappy condition, that you are poor and blind and without clothing.
Woka sɛ, ‘meyɛ ɔdefoɔ na manya me ho na mewɔ deɛ ɛhia me nyinaa.’ Nanso, wonnim hia a ahia wo ne mmɔborɔ a woyɛ. Woyɛ ohiani. Woda adagya, na wʼani afira.
18 If you are wise you will get from me gold tested by fire, so that you may have true wealth; and white robes to put on, so that your shame may not be seen; and oil for your eyes, so that you may see.
Enti, metu wo fo sɛ tɔ sikakɔkɔɔ, sikakɔkɔɔ amapa, firi me nkyɛn, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma woayɛ ɔdefoɔ. Afei, tɔ ntadeɛ fitaa hyɛ fa kata wʼanimguaseɛ adagya no so. Afei, tɔ aduro gu wʼani so, sɛdeɛ wobɛhunu adeɛ.
19 To all those who are dear to me, I give sharp words and punishment: then with all your heart have sorrow for your evil ways.
Mekɔ so twe wɔn a medɔ wɔn no nyinaa aso. Enti bɔ mmɔden na twe wo ho firi bɔne ho.
20 See, I am waiting at the door and giving the sign; if my voice comes to any man's ears and he makes the door open, I will come in to him, and will take food with him and he with me.
Tie! Megyina ɛpono no akyi rebɔ mu; sɛ obi te me nne na ɔbue ɛpono no a, mɛba mu na me ne no adidi na ɔno nso ne me adidi.
21 To him who overcomes I will give a place with me on my high seat, even as I overcame, and am seated with my Father on his high seat.
Mɛma nkonimdifoɔ no atena mʼahennwa no ho, sɛdeɛ madi nkonim enti, mete mʼAgya ahennwa ho seesei no.
22 He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
Sɛ wowɔ aso a, ɛnneɛ tie deɛ Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo no.”
