< 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.
Hi ni malakon Ikilisiya waahe Sardisu wai biyi mba tre wa agji ruhohi tagban itre uwa a nji brji tangban u Rji ni tsintsen tangban wu Rji nitsitse tagban miton gpi wa wu si tie wu tie nde wu ndidima u na ton ndi wu ikgbuna.
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.
Lu shume ndi krigbagba igpi wa adun atie whiwhir ikwu, mina ndu ndidima ni shishi Rjina.
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.
A he na kyi u kyrimrenton, ni igpi wa wu kpa ndi wu'a, kpa nyeme ni mba, ndi mle ti tashgbe, mi ye na nde iybi; hina to tien miyena.
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.
Bihe ni de nda time hi sardisu wa mba na kpa no glo kykle mba ti ndidi.
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.
Nde wa akwaibi mba sran glo kykle diwu, mba tse nde ma ni nuwu u Rji na, mi dugbu nde ma ni shishi temu ni shishi malaikansa.
6 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
Uwa a he wo igpe wa ruhu si la rii ikilisiyoyi.
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.
Hi ni malaikan ikilisiyar wa'a he ni Filaldefiy ha, biyi mba tre wa nde ndidi nde gyegyere wa agji makule Dauda; wa ani bwu idiori naiya kawuna, nde akwawuu mba nde waani bwu.
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.
Mito ipi wa wu tsi tie, ya mi bri kontra ni biwu ni shishi wa indiori atiyin, akri gbagba ni tremu wuna kyme ni indemuna
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.
Ya biwa mba he ni kon iblisi wa mba tre ndi mbamba mba Yahudawa, ana he nakyi na mba si tie che. mbaye nda wukwu gbrju ni zamen, mbato ndi ni son.
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.
Wa wu kri gbagba ni tre mu, ndi wu kon mila ni wua ime me mi kri ni wu ni to treme wa niye nde bi gbugblu wawu wa mba tsre nde gbugblu nepemen.
11 Behold, I am approaching quickly. Hold on to what you have, so that no one may take your crown.
Miye gbagbla me gji gpi wawu hewu gbagban ndi nderi mba takyamen a (Rawani)
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.
Me yo nde wa akwuii ani hena igji kon Rji mu mina bri nde kyi ndi rju niwo muna.
13 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
Mi ha nde Rji mi ni tuma nde gbu Rjimu (Urushalima isama, waagrji rji ni shulu ni Rji mbu), ni nde sa'ama. Wa ahe nitu ndi wo igri wa ruhu sa la ni Ikilisiyoyi.
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:
Hi ni malaikan ikilisiyar wa ahe ni Lawudikiya Ra: biyi mba tre wa aheme (Amin). Wa kysi iya niwa latre jagji wa ni ya nde wa Irji te mba.
15 I know your works: that you are neither cold, nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot.
Mi to gpi wa isi te wuna sina telu.
16 But because you are lukewarm and are neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth.
Iwu uhe ni kon ha una telu uwoma ysina mi dru yoga ni nyumu.
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.
Wu tre, ime mi ha ni kon ni gpi gbugba'u, mina son gpi gana wu na to nde wu iyama igpi yin nde iyan nde ifyeshi wu tsre gpre.
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.
Wu tre mu, le zinariya nime wa mba nza nilu wa ii he kongyen wa wu tsron gbi bin gpan wa mba to ni gpirena, ni nye wa tsron ni shishi wato igon niwu.
19 Those whom I love, I rebuke and chastise. Therefore, be zealous and do penance.
Mi tsi nde wami son mitsron mba iko mba hu ni gbugbu. Wa he na kyi kri gbagba tie ndidi.
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.
Yame mi kri ni kontra ndi si wru nde awo lamu nda bwu kin, mi ri ne konna, ndi ri la niwu wawu ni ri la nime.
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.
Wa akwuchi mi nu kon ndi kuson ni me ni tun chumu, ahe nawa meme kwuchi ndi son ni timu ni tu tuchu ma.
22 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.”
Iwa ahe ni tun inwo ndi gpi wa ruhu atsi la ni Ikilisiya
