< 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.
“Dee akwụkwọ nye mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ dị na Sardis, sị ya: Ndị a bụ okwu onye ahụ nwere mmụọ asaa nke Chineke na kpakpando asaa. Amaara m ọrụ gị niile, ị nwere aha dịka onye dị ndụ ma ị bụ onye nwụrụ anwụ.
2 Be awake, and strengthen the things which remaine, that are readie to die: for I haue not found thy workes perfite before God.
Ugbu a, sị nʼụra bilite. Mee ka ihe ntakịrị ahụ fọdụrụ na-achọ ịnwụ anwụ dịrị ike. Nʼihi na ọ dịghị ọrụ gị m hụrụ dị ka ihe zuruoke nʼanya Chineke m.
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.
Ya mere, cheta ihe ndị ahụ ị natara na nke ị nụrụ; rube isi nye ya, chegharịakwa. Ma ọ bụrụ na i tetaghị, aga m abịakwute gị dị ka onye ohi, ị gaghị amatakwa oge m ji bịakwute gị.
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.
Otu ọ dị, i nwere ụfọdụ mmadụ na Sardis ndị na-emerụbeghị uwe ha. Ha ga-eyiri uwe ọcha ma soro m jee ije nʼihi na ha bụ ndị kwesiri ekwesi.
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.
Onye ọbụla na-emeri emeri, ka a ga-eyikwasị uwe mwụda ọcha dịka ha. Agaghị m ehichapụ aha ya site nʼakwụkwọ nke ndụ ahụ, kama aga m ekwupụtakwa aha ahụ nʼihu Nna m na nʼihu ndị mmụọ ozi niile.
6 Let him that hath an eare, heare, what the Spirite saith vnto the Churches.
Onye ọbụla nwere ntị, ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ nsọ na-agwa nzukọ niile.
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,
“Dee akwụkwọ nye mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ dị na Filadelfia, sị ya: Ndị a bụ okwu onye dị nsọ na onye eziokwu, onye ahụ ji ọtụghe igodo Devid, nke o ji emeghepụ ihe onye ọbụla na-apụghị imechi, na nke o ji emechi ihe onye ọbụla na-apụghị imeghe.
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.
Amaara m ọrụ gị niile. Lee, edebela m nʼihu gị ọnụ ụzọ nke e meghere emeghe, nke onye ọbụla na-apụghị imechi. Amaara m na i nwere ike dị ntakịrị, ma i debere okwu m, ị gọnarịkwaghị aha m.
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.
Aga m eme ka ndị ahụ so na nzukọ ekwensu, bụ ndị na-asị na ha bụ ndị Juu ma ha abụghị, kama ha bụ ndị ụgha, aga m eme ka ha bịa kpọọ isiala nye gị, si otu a ghọta na ahụrụ m gị nʼanya.
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.
Ebe i sitere na ntachiobi sọpụrụ okwu m niile, aga m ekpuchi gị site nʼoke mkpagbu ahụ, nke ga-abịakwasị ụwa mgbe a ga-anwale ndị niile bi nʼime ya.
11 Beholde, I come shortly: holde that which thou hast, that no man take thy crowne.
Ana m abịa ọsịịsọ. Jidesienụ ihe unu nwere aka ike, ka onye ọbụla ghara ịnapụ gị okpueze gị.
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.
Ma onye ọbụla na-emeri emeri, ka m ga-eme ka ọ bụrụ ogidi nʼime ụlọnsọ Chineke m. Ọ gaghị esikwa nʼebe ahụ pụọ apụọ. Aga m edekwasịkwa aha Chineke m nʼahụ, na aha obodo nsọ Chineke, nke bụ Jerusalem ọhụrụ ahụ si nʼeluigwe, ebe Chineke nọ na-arịdata. Aha ọhụrụ m ka a ga-edekwasịkwa nʼihu ya.
13 Let him that hath an eare, heare what ye Spirit saith vnto the Churches.

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.
“Dee akwụkwọ nye mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ dị na Laodisia, sị ya: Ndị a bụ okwu Amen, onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, na onye bụ ezi onyeama, bụrụkwa isi mmalite ihe niile Chineke kere.
15 I knowe thy woorkes, that thou art neither colde nor hote: I woulde thou werest colde or hote.
Amaara m ọrụ gị niile, na ị jụghị oyi, i kpoghịkwa ọkụ. Ọ gaara adị nnọọ mma ma asị na ị na-ajụ oyi ma ọ bụkwanụ na-ekpo ọkụ.
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.
Nʼihi nke a, ebe ị na-ajụghị oyi, i kpoghịkwa ọkụ, ihe ị dị bụ ṅaraṅara. Nʼihi ya, aga m esi nʼọnụ m gbụpụ gị.
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.
Nʼihi na ị na-asị, ‘abụ m ọgaranya, nwezuo ihe niile. Mkpa ihe ọbụla akpakwaghị m.’ Ma ị ghọtaghị na onye gba aka ka ị bụ. Ị bụ onye e kwesiri imere ebere. Ị bụkwa ogbenye na onye kpuru ìsì na onye gba ọtọ.
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.
Ana m adụ gị ọdụ ka ịzụta ezigbo ọlaedo nʼaka m, bụ ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha nʼime ọkụ. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-abụkwa ọgaranya nʼezie. Ị gaara esitekwa nʼaka m zụta akwa ọcha na-enweghị ntụpọ ka ị ghara ịgba ọtọ, ka ihere gharakwa ime gị. Ka ị zụrụkwa ezigbo ọgwụ ọrịa anya tee, ka ibido ịhụ ụzọ nke ọma.
19 As many as I loue, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore and amend.
Ndị m hụrụ nʼanya ka m na-abara mba na-enyekwa ha ahụhụ. Ya mere, nwee ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi, chegharịakwa.
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.
Lee, ana m eguzo nʼọnụ ụzọ na-akụ aka. Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla anụ olu m ma meghee ụzọ, aga m abata soro ya rikọọ ihe, ya onwe ya ga-esokwa m rie ihe.
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.
Onye ọbụla na-emeri emeri, ka mụ ga-enye ikike ka o soro m nọdụ nʼocheeze m. Ọ bụladị dịka m meriri sorokwa Nna m nọdụ nʼocheeze ya.
22 Let him that hath an eare, heare what the Spirit saieth vnto the Churches.
Onye nwere ntị, ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ Nsọ na-agwa nzukọ niile.”
