< Revelation 3 >
1 AND to the angel of the church in Sardis write, These things saith he that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, and that thou hast a name, as though thou wert alive, yet art dead.
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Saadi wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo alina emyoyo omusanvu egya Katonda n’emmunyeenye omusanvu nti, Mmanyi ebikolwa byo, ng’olina erinnya eriraga nti oli mulamu so nga oli mufu.
2 Be vigilant and strengthen the things which remain, which are ready to die; for I have not found thy works complete before God.
Kale weegendereze onyweze ebikyasigaddewo ebitannafa. Kubanga mu by’okola sinnalabamu by’otuukiriza mu maaso ga Katonda wange.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and observe, and repent. If then thou art not found watching, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou shalt in no wise know at what hour I will come upon thee.
Kale jjukira bye wayigirizibwa ne bye wawulira obikwate era weenenye. Bw’otegendereze ndijja mangu ng’omubbi, so tolimanya ssaawa gye ndijjiramu gy’oli.
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white robes, for they are worthy.
Naye waliwo abamu mu Saadi abatonotono abatayonoonanga byambalo byabwe, balitambula nange nga bambadde engoye enjeru, kubanga basaanidde.
5 He that overcometh, this man shall be clothed in white robes; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Na buli awangula alyambazibwa engoye enjeru nga bali, era sirisangula linnya lye mu kitabo ky’obulamu, naye ndyatula erinnya lye mu maaso ga Kitange ne bamalayika be nti oyo muntu wange.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, These things saith the Holy One, he that is true, who hath the key of David, who openeth, and none shutteth, and shutteth, and no man openeth.
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Firaderufiya wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo Omutukuvu era ow’amazima era alina ekisumuluzo kya Dawudi aggulawo ne wataba aggalawo, n’okuggalawo ne wataba aggulawo.
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it; because thou hast but little strength, yet hast thou kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Mmanyi ebikolwa byo. Laba nkugguliddewo oluggi, omuntu yenna lw’atayinza kuggala; kubanga olina amaanyi matono, okuumye ekigambo kyange n’oteegaana linnya lyange,
9 Behold, I give thee out of Satan’s synagogue those who say they are Jews, yet they are not, but do lie. Lo! I will make them that they shall come and prostrate themselves at thy feet, and they shall know that I have loved thee.
laba nnyinza okuwaayo abamu ku abo ab’omu kuŋŋaaniro lya Setaani abeeyita Abayudaaya; laba ndibaleeta okuvuunama ku bigere byammwe bategeere nti mbaagala.
10 Because thou hast keep the word of my patience, I also will preserve thee from the hour of temptation, which is coming upon the whole habitable globe to try the dwellers upon earth.
Olwokubanga wakwata ekigambo kyange eky’okugumiikiriza, nange ndikuwonya ekiseera eky’okugezesebwa ekinaatera okujja.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Nzija mangu! Nnyweza ky’olina waleme kubaawo akutwalako ngule yo.
12 He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall never more go out from thence: 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 own new name.
Awangula ndimufuula empagi mu Yeekaalu ya Katonda wange, mw’ataliva emirembe gyonna, era ndimuwandiikako erinnya lya Katonda wange, n’erinnya ly’ekibuga kya Katonda wange, Yerusaalemi ekiggya nga kikka okuva mu ggulu eri Katonda wange n’erinnya lyange eriggya.
13 He that hath an ear to hear, let him ear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.
14 And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the origin of the creation of God;
“Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Lawodikiya wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo Amiina, omujulirwa, omwesigwa, ow’amazima, omukulu w’abaliwo, n’abalibaawo emirembe gyonna, era ensibuko y’ebitonde bya Katonda.
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot:
Mmanyi ebikolwa byo: toyokya so tonnyogoga, nandiyagadde obe ng’oyokya oba ng’onnyogoga.
16 I wish thou wert cold or hot. So because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit thee out of my mouth:
Naye olwokubanga oli wa kibuguumirize toyokya so tonnyogoga, kinaandetera okukuwandula okuva mu kamwa kange.
17 because thou sayest, I am rich, and wallow in wealth, and have no want unsupplied; yet thou knowest not that thou art wretched, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
Olwokubanga ogamba nti, ‘Ndi mugagga era nnina ebintu bingi, sso siriiko kye neetaaga. Sirina kimbulako!’ Sso n’otomanya ng’oli munaku asaasirwa, omwavu, omuzibe w’amaaso era ali obwereere.
18 I advise thee to buy of me gold purified by the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white robes, that thou mayest be completely clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thine eyes with a collyrium, that thou mayest see.
Nkuwa amagezi onguleko ebya zaabu, eyalongoosebwa mu muliro, olyoke ogaggawale. Era onguleko ebyambalo ebyeru, obyambale, owone ensonyi ez’okuyita obwereere; onguleko n’omuzigo osiige ku maaso go, osobole okulaba.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and correct: be zealous then, and repent.
Buli gwe njagala mmunenya era mmukangavvula; kale nyiikira okwenenya.
20 Lo! I stand at the door, and knock: if any person hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and I will sup with him, and he with me.
Laba nnyimiridde ku luggi era nkonkona. Buli awulira eddoboozi lyange n’aggulawo, nnaayingira omumwe ne tuliira wamu ffembi.
21 He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit on my throne, as I also have overcome, and have sat down with my Father on his throne.
Buli awangula ndimukkiriza okutuula ng’anninaanye, ku ntebe yange ey’obwakabaka, nga nange bwe nawangula ne ntuula ne Kitange ku ntebe ye.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.”
