< Revelation 3 >
1 And to the angel of the church of Sardis, write: These things saith he, that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast the name of being alive: and thou art dead.
Kwa malaika wa kanisa la Sardi uandike maneno ya yulo ywa kumulya yalo Roho saba ya Nnungu ni ndondwa saba “Ndakite ambacho chaupangite uina sifa ya panga wa ukoto wa wakati uwile.
2 Be watchful and strengthen the things that remain, which are ready to die. For I find not thy works full before my God.
Uyumuke na ugapange imara gagaisa lile, lakini gai karibu waa, kwasababu machuba yandabona na itendo yako ikamilike pa minyo ga Nnungu wangu.
3 Have in mind therefore in what manner thou hast received and heard: and observe, and do penance. If then thou shalt not watch, I will come to thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come to thee.
Kwahiyo ukumbuki galo galo gaupokile na yua, ugalii na tubu. lakini mana uyumwike kwaa mbaicha kati mwii, na watanga kwaa saa yakuuyampaicha kunani yake.
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.
Lakini kui na maina machini ya bandu katika Sardi ambayo bana chafua kwaa ngobo yabe. Batyanga pamope na nee, baweti ngobo uu, kwasababu bandastahili.
5 He that shall overcome, shall thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Yulo ywa shinda bapakun'gwalika ngobo uu, na nilifuata kwaa lina lyake buka katika kitabu cha ukoto na nalitambua lina lyake nnongi ya tati bangu, na nnongiya malaika.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Mana ubile na lichikilo, upikani Roho agabakia makanisa.”
7 And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia, write: These things saith the Holy One and the true one, he that hath the key of David; he that openeth, and no man shutteth; shutteth, and no man openeth:
“Kwa makanisa ga Philadefia uandike: Maneno ga mtakatifu ni kwelii ywabile ni punguo ya Daudi andayangwa na ntupu ywa wecha yigala.
8 I know thy works. Behold, I have given before thee a door opened, which no man can shut: because thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Ndagite chaukipangite linga, nikubiki nnongi yako nnyango wauyugulikwe ambao ntupu ywa weza yigala. Ndangite ubile ni ngupu njini lakini utii neno lyangu unalikana kwaa lina lyangu
9 Behold, I will bring of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will make them to come and adore before thy feet. And they shall know that I have loved thee.
Ulingee! Boti bababile ba sinagogi la nchela, balo bababayage bembe nga Ayahudi na kumbe nyoli badala yake babaya ubocho. Naapanga baiche na bamijinamii nnongi ya magulu gako ni batanga natikupenda.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will also keep thee from the hour of the temptation, which shall come upon the whole world to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Kwa kuwa utunzike amri yangu kwa komea muno nakulindela na saa yako ya kukupaya ambayo yendaicha katika ulimwengu woti, kuwapaya balo boti babata pa kilambo.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Nenda icha upesi ukamulie muno chalo chaubile nacho linga kanaubee mundu wa tola kofia yako.
12 He that shall overcome, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; and he shall go out no more; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.
Nipala kumpanga ywembe ywashinda panga lugoma katika hekalu la Nnungu wangu, na hapala pita kwaa panja kamwe. Nipala kuliandikia kwake lina lya Nnungu wangu, lina la mji wa Nnungu wangu (yerusalemuwanyambe, wahuuluka pae poka kumaunde kwa Nnongo wangu) nalina liake layambe.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Yembe yabile na lichikilo, na yowe chabaya Roho kwa makanisa.'
14 And to the angel of the church of Laodicea, write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, who is the beginning of the creation of God:
Kwa malaika wa kanisa lya Laodika uandike: maneno gake ywabile Amina, ywategemewa ni shahidi mwaminifu, mtawala kunani ya uumbaji wa Nnungu.
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot.
Ndangite chaukipangite, ni kwamba wenga si wa mbepo ama mwoto!
16 But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth.
Nyo, kwasababu wenga ni vuguvugu, ntupu mwoto wa mbepo, nipala kukutapika upita munkano wangu.
17 Because thou sayest: I am rich, and made wealthy, and have need of nothing: and knowest not, that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
Kwa kuwa ubaya, “Nenga na tajiri, nibile na mali ynambone, na nipala kwaa chochote.” Lakini utangite kwaa kwamba wwnga ni duni muno, wahuchunikiwa, masikiniu, kipofu na uchi.
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold fire tried, that thou mayest be made rich; and mayest be clothed in white garments, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Upekani ushauri wangu, upeme kwango dhahabu yaisafishilwe kwa mwoto lenga upate panga watajiri, na ngobo uuu ya ing'ara lenga ujiwalike mwene na kana ubone oni ya uchi wako, ni mauti ya pakala katika minyo gako upate bona.
19 Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance.
Kila ywanipenda, ninda kumwelekeza ni kumfundisha namna yaipalikwa tama; kwa nyo, upange mkweli wa tubu.
20 Behold, I stand at the gate, and knock. If any man shall hear my voice, and open to me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Lola nindayema katika mnyango ni nikombwa odi, yeyoti ywayowa lilobe lyango ni yogowa mnango, nipala icha na jingiya munyumba gake ni lya chakulya nokwe ni ywembe pamope na nee.
21 To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Ywembe ywashinda, nipala kumpeya haki ya tama pae pamope ni nee kunani ya kiteo chango cha enzi, kati nenga chanishindile na tama pae pamope ni Tate bango kunani ya kiteo chake cha enzi.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Ywembe ywabile lichikilo na apekani ambacho Roho ayabakiya makanisa.
