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.
Komela anjelu ya Lingomba oyo ezali kati na Sarde: « Tala maloba ya Ye oyo azali na milimo sambo ya Nzambe mpe minzoto sambo: Nayebi misala na yo; nayebi malamu ete okenda sango ete ozali na bomoi, nzokande ozali na yo ya kokufa.
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.
Lamuka! Lendisa bato oyo batikali mpe ba-oyo bakomi pene ya kokufa, pamba te namoni ete misala na yo ezali ya kokoka te liboso ya Nzambe na Ngai.
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.
Yango wana, kanisa malamu mateya oyo ozwaki mpe oyokaki; tosa mpe bongola motema na yo. Kasi soki olamuki te, nakoya lokola moyibi, mpe okoyeba te ngonga oyo nakoya epai na yo.
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.
Nzokande, kati na Sarde, ozali na ndambo ya bato oyo babebisaki te bilamba na bango. Bakotambola elongo na Ngai, na bilamba ya pembe, pamba te babongi na yango.
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.
Moto oyo akolonga, bakolatisa ye bilamba ya pembe lokola bango. Nakolongola kombo na ye te na buku ya bomoi, kasi nakondima yango liboso ya Tata na Ngai mpe liboso ya ba-anjelu na Ye.
6 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
Tika ete moto oyo azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka makambo oyo Molimo azali koloba na Mangomba! »
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.
Komela anjelu ya Lingomba oyo ezali kati na Filadelfi: « Tala maloba ya Ye oyo azali Bule mpe Solo, oyo asimbi fungola ya Davidi: oyo Ye afungoli, moko te akoki kokanga yango; mpe oyo Ye akangi, moko te akoki kofungola yango.
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.
Nayebi misala na yo. Tala, natiaki liboso na yo ekuke moko ya kofungwama, ekuke oyo moko te akoki kokanga. Nayebi ete ozali na nguya moke, obatelaki Liloba na Ngai mpe owanganaki te Kombo na Ngai.
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.
Tala makambo oyo nakosala bato ya ndako ya mayangani ya Satana, oyo balobaka ete bazali Bayuda, nzokande bazali na bango Bayuda te; bazali nde bakosi. Nakosala ete baya kofukama na makolo na yo mpe bandima ete nalingaka yo.
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.
Lokola obatelaki etinda na Ngai ya kozala na molende, Ngai mpe nakobatela yo na tango ya pasi oyo ekokweyela mokili mobimba mpo na komeka bavandi na yango.
11 Behold, I am approaching quickly. Hold on to what you have, so that no one may take your crown.
Nazali koya kala mingi te. Oyo ozali na yango, simba yango makasi mpo ete moko te abotola yo motole na yo.
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.
Moto oyo akolonga, nakokomisa ye likonzi kati na Tempelo ya Nzambe na Ngai, mpe akotikala lisusu te kobima kuna. Nakokoma na likolo na ye Kombo ya Nzambe na Ngai mpe kombo ya engumba ya Nzambe na Ngai, Yelusalemi ya sika, oyo ekokita wuta na Lola, epai ya Nzambe na Ngai. Mpe lisusu, nakokoma Kombo na Ngai ya sika na likolo na ye.
13 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
Tika ete moto oyo azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka makambo oyo Molimo azali koloba na Mangomba! »
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:
Komela anjelu ya Lingomba oyo ezali kati na Laodise: Tala maloba ya Amen, Motatoli ya sembo mpe ya solo, Mokonzi ya bikelamu nyonso ya Nzambe:
15 I know your works: that you are neither cold, nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot.
Nayebi misala na yo, mpe nayebi malamu ete ozali malili te mpe ozali moto te; nalingaki nde ozala malili to moto.
16 But because you are lukewarm and are neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth.
Kasi lokola ozali malili te mpe ozali moto te, nazali kosanza yo wuta na monoko na Ngai.
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.
Olobaka: « Nazali mozwi! Nakomi na bozwi ebele mpe nazali na posa ya eloko te. » Kasi ozali koyeba te ete ozali moto ya pasi mpe ya mawa, ozali nde mobola, mokufi miso mpe ozali bolumbu.
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.
Yango wana, nazali kopesa yo toli ete osomba epai na Ngai wolo oyo bapetola na moto mpo ete okoma penza mozwi, bilamba ya pembe mpo ete olata mpe obomba bolumbu na yo ya soni, mpe kisi ya miso mpo ete otia na miso na yo mpe omona malamu.
19 Those whom I love, I rebuke and chastise. Therefore, be zealous and do penance.
Napamelaka bato oyo nalingaka mpe napesaka bango etumbu. Boye, zala na molende mpe bongola motema na yo.
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.
Tala Ngai oyo, natelemi na ekuke mpe nazali kobeta. Soki moto moko ayoki mongongo na Ngai mpe afungoli ekuke, nakokota epai na ye mpe nakolia elongo na ye, mpe ye elongo na Ngai.
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.
Moto oyo akolonga, nakopesa ye makoki ya kovanda elongo na Ngai, na Kiti na Ngai ya Bokonzi, ndenge Ngai mpe, sima na Ngai kolonga, nakendeki kovanda elongo na Tata na Ngai, na Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi.
22 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.”
Tika ete moto oyo azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka makambo oyo Molimo azali koloba na Mangomba!
