< 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.
Ku mutangunishi wa mubungano wa ku Saladisi komulembeleti, “Uwu ni mulumbe ulambwanga ne uyo ukute kwendelesha Mishimu isanu ne ibili ya Lesa, kayi ne nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili. Ndishinshi incito shakobe, nambi bantu balambangeti omuyumi, nomba obe wafwa.”
2 Be awake, and strengthen the things which remaine, that are readie to die: for I haue not found thy workes perfite before God.
Ndacaneti buyumi bwenu nkabwashikapo pa mwelo ngwalayandanga Lesa. Neco punduka mu tulo twakobe, yuminisha ico ncokute kacitana cifwililila.
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.
Anuka ciyisho ncewalatambula, kayi ncewalanyumfwa. usunge shiya bwipishi bwakobe. Na ubule kupunduka, ndakesangeti kabwalala, nteti ukenshibe cindi nceti nkese.
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.
Nomba nkobali bang'ana uko ku Saladisi babula kusafwanya minjila yabo, nibakende ne njame kabali bafwala minjila ituba tuu, pakwinga cabelela.
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.
Abo beti bakakome bwipishi nibakafwale minjila ituba mbuli ili. Nteti nkafunyemo maina abo mu libuku lya buyumi. Ndakemananga pamenso a Bata ne bangelo ninkambeti, aba nibakame.
6 Let him that hath an eare, heare, what the Spirite saith vnto the Churches.
“Uyo ukute matwi anyumfwe cilambanga Mushimu Uswepa ku mibungano!”
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,
Ku mutangunishi wa mubungano wa ku Filadelufiya komulembeleti, “Uwu ni mulumbe ulafumunga ku muntu waswepa kayi wa ncine ncine, uyo ukute cakucalwisha mbuli ncalikukute mwami Dafeti, na lacalulu cishinga paliya wela kucicala sobwe, kayi na lacicala paliya wela kucicalula.
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.
Incito shakobe ndishinshi, ndicinsheti ukute ngofu shing'ana. Ulakonkonga ciyisho cakame, kayi washomeka kuli njame. Ndacalula cishinga pantangu pakobe paliya wela kucicala sobwe.”
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.
Konyumfwa! Pali bantu bali kulubasu lwa Satana, balalibepengeti ni Bayuda kakuli ntebo Bayuda, ninkalengesheti bakese bakasuntame mulimfwa lyakobe. Mpweshi bakenshibeti ndikusuni.
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.
Pakwinga ulapitilishi kunyumfwila milawo yakame kwakubula kubwelela kunyuma, ne njame ninkakucingilishe mu cindi ca mapensho alesanga kwisa kusunka bantu bonse pa cishi capanshi.
11 Beholde, I come shortly: holde that which thou hast, that no man take thy crowne.
Ndesanga lino lino. Ikatisha ca makasa abili ico ncokute kwambeti kapataba muntu eti akunyongomone cilambo.
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.
Uliyense eshi akakome nakabe ntabo mu Ng'anda ya Lesa wakame, nteti bakafumemo. Ninkalembe lina lya Lesa wakame ne lya Yelusalemu wa lino lino uyo lakaselukunga kwilu kuli Lesa. Kayi nenjame ninkalembe lina lyakame lya lino lino palyendibo.
13 Let him that hath an eare, heare what ye Spirit saith vnto the Churches.
“Ukute matwi anyumfwe cilambanga Mushimu Uswepa ku mibungano!”
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.
Kuli mutangunishi wa mubungano wa ku Laodikaya komulembeleti, “Uwu e mulumbe ulafumunga kuli uyo ukute kukwiweti, Ameni, kamboni washomeka kayi wa ncine ncine, citente ca byonse byalalengwa ne Lesa.
15 I knowe thy woorkes, that thou art neither colde nor hote: I woulde thou werest colde or hote.
Ndicinshi ncolenshinga pakwinga ndicinsheti nkowatontola nambi kulungula, nsombi ndayandishishanga kwambeti ucanike ku lubasu lumo!
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.
Nomba pakwinga wakasala nkowalungula nambi kutontola, nindikusanke!”
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.
Ha! ulambangeti, omubile ntobe mupenshi, ukute byonse. Nomba ukute malele, omukandu kayi ukute kupesha nkumbo, uli matakosha kayi washipilwa.
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.
Leka ndikupeko mano, kwesa uleko golide waswepa kuli njame kwambeti ube mubile. Kayi wise uleko cikwisa cituba nceti ufwalenga kwambeti kotaboneshanga matakosha eshikupesha nsoni. Kayi wise uleko mafuta akunana ku menso kwambeti ubonenga cena.
19 As many as I loue, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore and amend.
Nkute kukansa nekupa cisubulo bantu mbonsuni. Neco, koba wakangwabu leka bwipishi.
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.
Konyumfwa! Ndemana pa cishinga ndakonkoshunga, uliyense lanyumfunga maswi akame ne kucalulako, ninkengile mung'anda ne kuya kulya pamo nendiye, neye nakalye pamo nenjame
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.
Abo beti bakakome ninkabasuminishe kwambeti nabo bekale pa bipuna bya bulemu bili pambali pa cipuna cakame cabwendeleshi, mbuli ne njame ncendekala pa cipuna cabwendeleshi cili pambali pa cipuna ca bulemu ca Bata pakwinga ndalakoma.
22 Let him that hath an eare, heare what the Spirit saieth vnto the Churches.
“Ukute matwi anyumfwe cilambanga Mushimu Uswepa ku mibungano!”
