< Revelation 3 >
1 ANd write vnto the Angel of the Church which is at Sardis, These things saith he that hath the seuen Spirits of God, and the seuen starres, I knowe thy workes: for thou hast a name that thou liuest, but thou art dead.
“Mwalembele katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Sadi. “Yeleyi ni yakuti jwali ni Mbumu saba sya Akunnungu ni ndondwa saba. Nguimanyilila isambo yenu, nkumanyika kuti nli jwanjumi nambo, usyene mmwile.
2 Be awake, and strengthen the things which remaine, that are readie to die: for I haue not found thy workes perfite before God.
Njimuche, ngalimbisye agala gambone gagasigalile kukwenu ni gelego gakaika kuwa. Pakuŵa mpaka sambano nganinagaona masengo genu kuŵa gemalilwe paujo pa Akunnungu wangu.
3 Remember therefore, how thou hast receiued and heard, and hold fast and repent. If therefore thou wilt not watch, I will come on thee as a thiefe, and thou shalt not know what houre I wil come vpon thee.
Nipele nkumbuchile imwatite kupochela ni imwatite kupilikana ni imwatite kwitichisya yeleyo ni kugalauka ni kuleka sambi. Nambo iŵaga nganjimuka, chiiche mpela jwa wiyi, nomwe ngisimmanyilila ndaŵi jachinannyichilile.
4 Notwithstanding thou hast a few names yet in Sardis, which haue not defiled their garments: and they shall walke with me in white: for they are worthy.
Nambo nkwete ŵandu ŵangatupa ku Sadi ŵangananyakasya nguo syao. Ŵelewo chajende none ali awete iwalo yeswela pakuŵa akuŵajilwa.
5 He that ouercommeth, shalbe clothed in white araye, and I will not put out his name out of the booke of life, but I will confesse his name before my Father, and before his Angels.
“Juchapunde chinawasye iwalo yeswela mpela ŵanyawo, none ngisinalityosya ng'o liina lyakwe mu chitabu cha umi. Sooni chinyitichisye kwa kang'wa jangu paujo pa Atati ŵangu, ni paujo pa achikatumetume ŵao ŵa kwinani kuti jwelejo ali jwangu.
6 Let him that hath an eare, heare, what the Spirite saith vnto the Churches.
“Jwakwete mapilikanilo gakupilikanila, apilikane agala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu gakwasalila mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
7 And write vnto ye Angel of ye Church which is of Philadelphia, These things saith he that is Holy, and True, which hath ye keye of Dauid, which openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth and no man openeth,
“Kwa katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Filadefia mwalembele yelei. “Yeleyi ni yakuti kusala ajula jwanswela ni jwausyenesyene, jwakwete ukombole wa kwalechela ŵandu ajinjile mu umwenye wakwe. Ni jwakuugula nnango, ni ngapagwa jwakukombola kuugala. Ni jwakuugala nnango ni ngapagwa jwakukombola kuugula.
8 I knowe thy workes: beholde, I haue set before thee an open doore, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a litle strength and hast kept my worde, and hast not denied my Name.
Nguimanyilila ipanganyo yenu, ngumanyilila kuti nkwete machili gamanandi nambo nkamulisye liloŵe lyangu ni nganinlikana liina lyangu. Mpilikane! Misile paujo penu nnango weugule, ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kuugala.
9 Behold, I will make them of the Synagogue of Satan, which call themselues Iewes, and are not, but doe lye: beholde, I say, I will make them, that they shall come and worship before thy feete, and shall knowe that I haue loued thee.
Mpilikane! Ngumpa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵa nyuumba ja kupopelela ja Shetani, ŵakuliŵilanga Ŵayahudi nambo nganaŵa ŵayahudi, nambo ali ŵakulambusya. Mpilikane! Chinaatende aichanje ni kuntindiŵalila paujo pa sajo syenu ni amanyilile kuti nannonyele.
10 Because thou hast kept the woorde of my patience, therefore I wil deliuer thee from the houre of tentation, which will come vpon all the world, to trie them that dwell vpon the earth.
Pakuŵa nlikamulisye liloŵe nkupililila, none jwakwe chinangose katema ka malagasyo, kakali chile kuchiichilila chilambo chose, kuti ŵaalinje ŵelewo ŵakutama pachilambo.
11 Beholde, I come shortly: holde that which thou hast, that no man take thy crowne.
Ngwika chitema, muukamulisye kwannope utenga wa chikulupi umpochele, kuti mundu jwalijose anakombole kunsumula mbote jenu.
12 Him that ouercommeth, will I make a pillar in the Temple of my God, and he shall goe no more out: and I will write vpon him the Name of my God, and the name of the citie of my God, which is the newe Hierusalem, which commeth downe out of heauen from my God, and I will write vpon him my newe Name.
“Juchapunde chinantende aŵe luchanamila pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu nombe ngasakopoka mwelemo ng'o. Sooni chilembe pachanya pakwe liina lya Akunnungu ŵangu ni liina lya musi wa Akunnungu ŵangu, yaani Yelusalemu wa sambano, musi uchiutuluche kutyochela kwinani kwa Akunnungu ŵangu. Iyoyo chinembe pachanya pakwe liina lyangu lya sambano.
13 Let him that hath an eare, heare what ye Spirit saith vnto the Churches.
“Jwakwete mapilikanilo gakupilikanila, apilikane agala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu gakwasalila mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
14 And vnto the Angell of the Church of the Laodiceans write, These things saieth Amen, the faithfull and true witnesse, that beginning of the creatures of God.
“Mwalembele yeleyi katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Laodikia. “Uneji nguŵilanjikwa Eloo, jwaumboni jwakukulupilichika jwausyene, ndande ja yepanganyikwe yose yaigumbile Akunnungu, nguti yelei.
15 I knowe thy woorkes, that thou art neither colde nor hote: I woulde thou werest colde or hote.
Nguimanyilila ipanganyo yenu, kuti nganimma ŵa kusisima atamuno ŵa mooto. Ikaliji mmbaya nkaliji ŵa kusisima pane ŵa mooto.
16 Therefore, because thou art luke warme, and neither colde nor hote, it will come to passe, that I shall spewe thee out of my mouth.
Nipele pakuŵa ndi ŵantukuta, nganimma ŵa kusisima namuno ŵa mooto, chinanlukule ntyoche mukang'wa jangu.
17 For thou saiest, I am rich and increased with goods, and haue neede of nothing, and knowest not howe thou art wretched and miserable, and poore, and blinde, and naked.
Ligongo nkuti, ‘Ndili jwakusichila ni ngwete ipanje, ngangulajila chindu chachili chose.’ Nambo ngankumanyilila kuti nli jwausauchi ni jwakulaga ni jwaulanda ni jwangalola sooni nli matakope.
18 I counsell thee to bye of me gold tried by the fire, that thou maiest bee made rich: and white raiment, that thou maiest be clothed, and that thy filthie nakednesse doe not appeare: and anoynt thine eyes with eye salue, that thou maiest see.
Ngumpa lunda kuti, nsuume kwangune sahabu jejenjetukule ni mooto, kuti nsichile ni kusuma iwalo yeswela kuti mbwale, ni kusisa soni sya kutama kwenu matakope. Iyoyopeyo nsuume ntela ni kupakala mmeeso genu kuti nkombole kulola.
19 As many as I loue, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore and amend.
Uneji ngwajamuka ni kwalamula wose ŵangwanonyela. Nipele nlimbile ni kuleka sambi syenu.
20 Behold, I stand at the doore, and knocke. If any man heare my voice and open ye doore, I wil come in vnto him, and will suppe with him, and he with me.
Mpilikane! Ngwima pannango ni kupoposya, mundu apilikanaga liloŵe lyangu ni kuugula, chinyinjile kwa jwelejo, none chilye pamo ni jwelejo ni jwelejo pamo ni une.
21 To him that ouercommeth, will I graunt to sit with me in my throne, euen as I ouercame, and sit with my Father in his throne.
“Juchapunde chinjalechelela kutama chiŵandi ni une pa chitengu changu cha umwenye, mpela une indite kupunda ni kutama chiŵandi ni Atati ŵangu pachitengu chao cha umwenye.
22 Let him that hath an eare, heare what the Spirit saieth vnto the Churches.
“Jwakwete mapilikanilo gakupilikanila, apilikane agala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu gakwasalila mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.”
