< Revelation 3 >

1 “And to the Angel of the Church of Sardis write: Thus says he who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have a name which is alive, but you are dead.
“Udu kiti nnan kadura Kutelle kutyi nliran in Sardisu: 'Tigbulang nlenge na amere min ti Ruhu kuzor nin niyini kuzor nyiru ile imon na usu udin nfo figiri uu fe dinin nlai, bara nani fe unan kulari.
2 Be vigilant, and confirm the things that remain, lest they soon die out. For I do not find your works to be full in the sight of my God.
Fita ukpin agang kiti nile imon na ilawa, idaduru ukuu, bara na nyene katwa fe kulun nanya nyenju kutelle nighe ba.
3 Therefore, keep in mind the way that you have received and heard, and then observe it and repent. But if you will not be vigilant, I will come to you like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.
Bara nan lizino, ile imon na usere uminin lanza. Dofino inin, udiu kutyin. Meng ba dak nafo ukiri na uba yinnu kubi ko na nba dak kitife ba.
4 But you have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments. And these shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
Ama tisa namong duk cinglin nan nya Sardisu alenge na ita imon mine indinong ba. Inung ba cinu nan mi, nin kuyok nimon iboo, bara idi dert.
5 Whoever prevails, so shall he be clothed in white vestments. And I will not delete his name from the Book of Life. And I will confess his name in the presence of my Father and in the presence of his Angels.
Ulenge na ase unasara iba shonghe kulutuk kuboo, tutun na mba wesu lisa mye nanya kaffa nlai ba, mba bellu lisa mye nbun ncif nighe nin nbun nanan kadura mye.
6 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
Andi udinin natuf, lanza ile imon na uruhu din bellu nilarin nliran.”
7 And to the Angel of the Church of Philadelphia write: Thus says the Holy One, the True One, he who holds the key of David. He opens and no one closes. He closes and no one opens.
Udu kiti nnan kadura in Filidelfiya, Tigbulang nlenge na adi lau nin kidegen, ame min imon npunu kitin Dauda, asa apuno, na umon wasa atursu ba, asa a tursu na umonn wasa apuno ba.
8 I know your works. Behold, I have set an open door before you, which no one is able to close. For you have little power, and you have observed my word, and you have not denied my name.
Meng yiru imon ile na usu, yene, ubunfe kibulun duku ka na upuno, na umon wasa atursu ba, nyiru likara fe di baat, nin nani udin dortu tigbulang nighe, tutun na uta amusu lisa nighe ba.
9 Behold, I will take from the synagogue of Satan those who declare themselves to be Jews and are not, for they are lying. Behold, I will cause them to approach and to reverence before your feet. And they shall know that I have loved you.
Su ucaa! Alenge na idi anan kutyi nlira shetan, alenge na idin su inug a Yahudawari, ana nanere ba-idin su kinuwari nani, nba ti nani ida tumun nbun nabunu fe, iba da yinnu au meng dinin su fe.
10 Since you have kept the word of my patient endurance, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall overcome the whole world in order to test those living upon the earth.
Tunda na una ceo uduka nighe, utere kibinai nin hankuri, mba minfi kubi kongo na iba dumunfi, na ku ba dak vat inye, iba dumunu alenge na isosin nan nyya inye.
11 Behold, I am approaching quickly. Hold on to what you have, so that no one may take your crown.
Meng din cinu deddei. Minno ile imon na udumun gangang bara na umong wa bullu litapa fe ba.
12 Whoever prevails, I will set him as a column in the temple of my God, and he shall not depart from it anymore. And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that descends out of heaven from my God, and my new name.
Meng ba ti ulenge na ase unasara aso litino nanya kilari nliran Kutelle, na aba nuzu nanye ba, nba nyertin ghe lisa Kutelle nighe, lisa kipin Kutelle (Urushalima upese ule na utolo unuzu kitene kani kiti Kutelle), nin lisa lipese nighe.
13 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
Ame ulenge na adumun natuf, na alanza ile unon na Uruhu din belle niliran nlirag.'
14 And to the Angel of the Church of Laodicea write: Thus says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, who is the Beginning of the creation of God:
“Nyerte Udu kiti nanan kadura kilari nliran nanya in Lawudikiya: 'Tigbulang uso nani, iyizi nba in kidegen udya nanya makeke Kutelle.
15 I know your works: that you are neither cold, nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot.
Meng yiru ile imon na udin su, nafe di cancam ba, ana udin npiu ba, ndi nyenju nafo uwadi cancam sa npiu!
16 But because you are lukewarm and are neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth.
Nani, bara na udi bidibidi-na udi cancam ba ana udin piu ba-Meng ba tuffunfi nanya nnuu nighe.
17 For you declare, ‘I am wealthy, and I have been enriched further, and I have need of nothing.’ And you do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
Bara fe nworo, “Meng dimun nimon nacara, na ndira imomon ba.” Anafe yiru fere di ba fere di hem, unan kunekune, ukimon, uduu, nin lenge na adi fisere.
18 I urge you to buy from me gold, tested by fire, so that you may be enriched and may be clothed in white vestments, and so that the shame of your nakedness may disappear. And anoint your eyes with an eye salve, so that you may see.
Lanza ushawara nighe: Sere azurfa kiti nighe, alle na ina dumun anin kiti nlah, bara unan so unan nimon nacara, nin njinjin, nin kulutuk kulau, ishon bara iwa yenefi fisere ulanza ncin, a ukan uti niyizife unan yene kiti.
19 Those whom I love, I rebuke and chastise. Therefore, be zealous and do penance.
Vat nlenge na ndinin su mye, asa ntaghe libau ndursuzoghe inda na aba su lisosin, bara nani, ta dedei udiu kutyin.
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone will hear my voice and will open the door to me, I will enter to him, and I will dine with him, and he with me.
Yene, Meng yisin kibulun ndi fowe, asa umon nlanza liwui nighe apuno kibulughe, Meng ba dak nan nya kilari mye, nba lii umonli nighe nighe, amye nin nmi.
21 Whoever prevails, I will grant to him to sit with me on my throne, just as I also have overcome and have sat down with my Father on his throne.
Ulenge na ase unasara, Meng ba yinin ghe aso nin mye, kuteet tigo nighe, nafo na Meng nasu unasara nmini sosin nin ncif nighe kuteet tigoo mye.
22 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.”
Andi udinin natuf, lanza ile imon na uruhu din bellu nilari nlira.”
