< Revelation 3 >
1 And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: These things saith he that has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Sad la. Di l' konsa: Men sa moun ki gen sèt Lespri Bondye yo ak sèt zetwal yo voye di ou: Mwen konnen tou sa w'ap fè. Mwen konnen tout moun konprann ou vivan. Men, ou mouri.
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, which are about to die, for I have not found thy works complete before my God.
Souke kò ou, bay ti rès lavi ou rete a fòs anvan ou fin mouri nèt. Paske, mwen wè sa w'ap fè a pa fin kòrèk devan Bondye mwen an.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and keep [it] and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come [upon thee] as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I shall come upon thee.
Chonje sa yo te moutre ou la. Chonje jan ou te resevwa li. Obeyi l', tounen vin jwenn Bondye. Si ou pa sispann dòmi, m'ap vini sou ou tankou yon vòlè, san ou pa atann.
4 But thou hast a few names in Sardis which have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
Men, gen kèk moun nan nou nan lavil Sad la ki te kenbe rad yo pwòp. Y'a mache ansanm avè m' ak rad blan yo, paske yo merite sa.
5 He that overcomes, he shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, and will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
Tout moun ki goumen jouk yo genyen batay la pral mete rad blan an sou yo. Mwen p'ap wete non yo nan liv ki gen non moun ki gen lavi a. M'ap rekonèt yo pou moun pa m' devan Papa mwen ak devan zanj li yo.
6 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Se pou moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo.
7 And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: These things saith the holy, the true; he that has the key of David, he who opens and no one shall shut, and shuts and no one shall open:
Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Filadèlfi a. Di l' konsa: Moun ki sen an, moun k'ap di verite a, moun ki gen kle wa David la nan men l' lan, moun ki lè li louvri pesonn pa ka fèmen, lè l' fèmen pesonn pa ka louvri a, men sa l' voye di ou:
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an opened door, which no one can shut, because thou hast a little power, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Mwen konnen tou sa w'ap fè. Mwen konnen ou pa gen anpil kouraj. Malgre sa, w'ap kenbe pawòl mwen. Ou pa lage mwen. Mwen louvri yon pòt devan ou, pesonn p'ap ka fèmen li.
9 Behold, I make them of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews, and are not, but lie; behold, I will cause that they shall come and shall do homage before thy feet, and shall know that I have loved thee.
Men, pou moun ki fè pati gwoup Satan an, bann mantò sa yo k'ap pran pòz jwif yo men ki pa jwif, m'ap fòse yo vin mete ajenou devan ou pou yo ka respekte ou. Se pou yo rekonèt se ou menm mwen renmen.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee out of the hour of trial, which is about to come upon the whole habitable world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Menm jan ou te kenbe lòd mwen te ba ou lè m' te mande ou pou te pran pasians lan, konsa tou, m'a kenbe ou, m'a pwoteje ou nan malè ki pral vin sou tout latè a. Se va yon gwo eprèv pou tout moun ki sou latè.
11 I come quickly: hold fast what thou hast, that no one take thy crown.
Anvan lontan mapral vini. Kenbe sa ou genyen an fèm pou pesonn pa wete rekonpans ou nan men ou.
12 He that overcomes, him will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more at all out; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven, from my God, and my new name.
Tout moun ki va goumen jouk yo genyen batay la, m'ap fè yo tounen yon gwo poto nan kay Bondye a. Apre sa, yo p'ap janm soti. M'a make non Bondye ansanm ak non lavil Bondye a, lòt Jerizalèm k'ap desann sot nan sièl la, sou yo. M'ap make lòt non mwen an sou yo tou.
13 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Se pou tout moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo.
14 And to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:
Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Lawodise a. Di l' konsa: Moun ki verite a, moun k'ap di verite a jan l' ye a san bay manti, li menm ki sous tou sa Bondye kreye a, men sa li voye di ou:
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot.
Mwen konnen tou sa w'ap fè. Mwen konnen ou pa ni cho ni frèt. Pito ou te cho osinon ou te frèt.
16 Thus because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spue thee out of my mouth.
Men, ou kièd, ou pa cho, ou pa frèt. Mwen pral vonmi ou soti nan bouch mwen.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and am grown rich, and have need of nothing, and knowest not that thou art the wretched and the miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked;
W'ap plede di: Mwen rich, zafè m' ap mache byen. Mwen pa manke anyen. Pòdiab! Konnen ou pa konnen jan ou malere, jan ou nan gwo nesesite, jan ou pòv, toutoni ak tou de je ou yo pete!
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold purified by fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white garments, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be made manifest; and eye-salve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.
Se poutèt sa, mwen ta ba ou konsèy achte nan men m' bon lò san melanj ki pase nan dife. Konsa ou va rich tout bon. Achte nan men m' tou rad blan pou mete sou ou pou moun pa wè jan ou toutouni. Sa se yon wont pou ou. Achte nan men m' tou renmèd pou mete nan je ou pou ou ka wè.
19 I rebuke and discipline as many as I love; be zealous therefore and repent.
Moun mwen renmen se yo mwen korije, se yo mwen peni. Mete plis aktivite nan sèvis ou. Tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
20 Behold, I stand at the door and am knocking; if any one hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto him and sup with him, and he with me.
Koute. Men mwen kanpe la devan pòt la, m'ap frape. Si yon moun tande vwa m', si l' louvri pòt la ban mwen, m'a antre lakay li, m'a manje ansanm avè l', la manje ansanm avèk mwen.
21 He that overcomes, to him will I give to sit with me in my throne; as I also have overcome, and have sat down with my Father in his throne.
Tout moun ki goumen jouk yo genyen batay la, m'ap ba yo dwa chita bò kote m' lè m'a sou fòtèy mwen an, menm jan mwen menm mwen te goumen jouk mwen te genyen batay la, pou koulye a mwen chita bò kot Papa m' ki chita sou fòtèy li a.
22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Se pou moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo.
