< Revelation 3 >
1 And to the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things says he that has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and are dead.
“Àti sí angẹli ìjọ ni Sardi kọ̀wé: Ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí ni ẹni tí ó ni Ẹ̀mí méje Ọlọ́run, àti ìràwọ̀ méje wí pé. Èmi mọ iṣẹ́ rẹ̀, àti pé ìwọ ní orúkọ pé ìwọ ń bẹ láààyè, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ti kú.
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect before God.
Jí, kí o sì fi ẹsẹ̀ ohun tí ó kù múlẹ̀, tàbí tí ó ṣetán láti kú, nítorí èmi kò rí iṣẹ́ rẹ ni pípé níwájú Ọlọ́run.
3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come on you.
Nítorí náà rántí bí ìwọ ti gbà, àti bí ìwọ ti gbọ́, kí o sì pa á mọ́, kí o sì ronúpìwàdà. Ǹjẹ́, bí ìwọ kò ba ṣọ́ra, èmi yóò dé sí ọ bí olè, ìwọ kì yóò sì mọ́ wákàtí tí èmi yóò dé sí ọ.
4 You have a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
Ìwọ ní orúkọ díẹ̀ ní Sardi, tí kò fi aṣọ wọn yí èérí; wọn yóò sì máa ba mi rìn ní aṣọ funfun: nítorí wọ́n yẹ.
5 He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Ẹni tí ó bá ṣẹ́gun, òun náà ni a ó fi aṣọ funfun wọ̀; èmi kì yóò pa orúkọ rẹ̀ kúrò nínú ìwé ìyè, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò jẹ́wọ́ orúkọ rẹ̀ níwájú Baba mi, àti níwájú àwọn angẹli rẹ̀.
6 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Ẹni tí ó ba létí, kí ó gbọ́ ohun tí Ẹ̀mí ń sọ fún àwọn ìjọ.
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things says he that is holy, he that is true, he that has the key of David, he that opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens;
“Àti sí angẹli Ìjọ ni Filadelfia kọ̀wé. Ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí ni ẹni tí ó jẹ́ mímọ́ náà wí, ẹni tí ó ṣe olóòtítọ́, ẹni tí ó ní kọ́kọ́rọ́ Dafidi, ẹni tí ó ṣí, tí kò sí ẹni tí yóò tì; ẹni tí o sì tì, tí kò sì ẹni tí yóò ṣí i.
8 I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: for you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name.
Èmi mọ iṣẹ́ rẹ̀, kíyèsi i, mo gbe ìlẹ̀kùn tí ó ṣí kálẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀, tí kò sí ẹni tí o lè tì í; pé ìwọ ni agbára díẹ̀, ìwọ sì pa ọ̀rọ̀ mi mọ́, ìwọ kò sì sẹ́ orúkọ mi.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
Kíyèsi i, èmi ó mú àwọn ti Sinagọgu Satani, àwọn tí wọ́n ń wí pé Júù ni àwọn, tí wọn kì í sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n tí wọn ń ṣèké; kíyèsi i, èmi ó mú kí wọn wá wólẹ̀ níwájú ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, kí wọn sì mọ̀ pé èmi tí fẹ́ ọ.
10 Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come on all the world, to try them that dwell on the earth.
Nítorí tí ìwọ tí pa ọ̀rọ̀ sùúrù mi mọ́, èmi pẹ̀lú yóò pa ọ́ mọ́ kúrò nínú wákàtí ìdánwò, tí ń bọ̀ wá dé bá gbogbo ayé, láti dán àwọn tí ń gbé orí ilẹ̀ ayé wò.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown.
Kíyèsi i, èmi ń bọ̀ kánkán, di èyí ti ìwọ ní mú ṣinṣin, kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe gba adé rẹ.
12 Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will write on him my new name.
Ẹni tí ó ba ṣẹ́gun, òun ni èmi ó fi ṣe ọ̀wọ́n nínú tẹmpili Ọlọ́run mi, òun kì yóò sì jáde kúrò níbẹ̀ mọ́, èmi ó sì kọ orúkọ Ọlọ́run mi sí i lára, àti orúkọ ìlú Ọlọ́run mi, tí i ṣe Jerusalẹmu tuntun, tí ó ń ti ọ̀run sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run mi wá: àti orúkọ tuntun ti èmi tìkára mi.
13 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Ẹni tí ó bá ní etí, kí ó gbọ́ ohun ti Ẹ̀mí ń sọ fún àwọn ìjọ.
14 And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
“Àti sí angẹli ìjọ ní Laodikea kọ̀wé. Ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí ni ẹni tí ń jẹ́ Àmín wí, ẹlẹ́rìí olódodo àti olóòtítọ́, olórí ìṣẹ̀dá Ọlọ́run.
15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.
Èmi mọ̀ iṣẹ́ rẹ, pé ìwọ kò gbóná bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò tútù: èmi ìbá fẹ́ pé kí ìwọ kúkú tutù, tàbí kí ìwọ kúkú gbóná.
16 So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.
Ǹjẹ́ nítorí tí ìwọ lọ wọ́ọ́rọ́, tí o kò si gbóná, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni tí o kò tutù, èmi yóò pọ̀ ọ́ jáde kúrò ni ẹnu mi.
17 Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Nítorí tí ìwọ wí pé, èmi ní ọrọ̀, èmi sì ń pọ̀ sí i ni ọrọ̀, èmi kò sì ṣe aláìní ohunkóhun; tí ìwọ kò sì mọ̀ pé, òsì ni ìwọ, ẹni-ìkáàánú, tálákà, afọ́jú, àti ẹni ìhòhò:
18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
Èmi fún ọ ni ìmọ̀ràn pé kí o ra wúrà lọ́wọ́ mi tí a ti dà nínú iná, kí ìwọ lè di ọlọ́rọ̀; àti aṣọ funfun, kí ìwọ lè fi wọ ara rẹ̀, àti kí ìtìjú ìhòhò rẹ̀ má ba hàn kí ìwọ sì fi ohun ìkunra kun ojú rẹ̀, kí ìwọ lè ríran.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Gbogbo àwọn ti èmi bá fẹ́ ni èmi ń bá wí, tí mo sì ń nà: nítorí náà, ní ìtara, kì ìwọ sì ronúpìwàdà.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Kíyèsi i, èmi dúró ni ẹnu ìlẹ̀kùn, èmi sì ń kànkùn, bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá gbọ́ ohun mi, tí ó sì ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn, èmi yóò sì wọlé tọ̀ ọ́ wá, èmi yóò sì máa bá a jẹun, àti òun pẹ̀lú mi.
21 To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Ẹni tí ó bá ṣẹ́gun ni èmi yóò fi fún láti jókòó pẹ̀lú mi lórí ìtẹ́ mi, bí èmi pẹ̀lú ti ṣẹ́gun, tí mo sì jókòó pẹ̀lú Baba mi lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀.
22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Ẹni tí ó bá létí, kí ó gbọ́ ohun tí Ẹ̀mí ń sọ fún àwọn ìjọ.”
