Revelation 3
1 “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars; – I know your life, and that people say of you that you are living, though you are dead.
“Sarddeesa woosa keetha kiitanchchuwas hayssada yaagada xaafa. Laappun Xoossaa ayyaanatanne laappun xoolinttota oykkidayssi hayssada yaagees: Taani ne oosuwa erays; asi nena paxa de7ees giikkoka, ne hayqqadasa.
2 Be on the watch, and strengthen what still survives, though once it was all but dead; for I have not found your life perfect in the eyes of my God.
Barkka! Guutha attidabaanne hayqqanaw matidabaa mintha. Ne oosoy Xoossaa sinthan polo gidonnayssa demmas.
3 Therefore remember what you have received and heard, and lay it to heart and repent. Unless you are on the watch, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I am coming to you.
Hiza, ne ekkidabaanne si7idabaa akeeka; naaga; ne nagaraappe simma. Neeni barkkonna ixxiko ta kaysoda yaana; ta ay wode yaanekko ne erakka.
4 Yet there are some few among you at Sardis who did not soil their robes; they will walk with me, robed in white, for they are worthy.
Shin bantta ma7uwa qitayonna guutha asati Sarddeesan de7oosona. Enttaw bessiyabaa gidiya gisho bootha ma7o ma7idi entti taara hamuttana.
5 Those who conquer will be clothed in these white robes, and I will not strike their name out of the book of life; but I will own them before my Father, and before his angels.
Xooniya oonikka enttayssada bootha ma7o ma77ana. Taani iya sunthaa de7o maxaafappe quchchike. Taani ta Aawa sinthaninne iya kiitanchchota sinthan I tabaa gideyssa markkattana.
6 Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
Geeshsha Ayyaanay woosa keethatas giyabaa si7iya haythi de7iya oonikka si7o.
7 “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the Key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and shuts and no one opens:
“Filaadelfiya woosa keetha kiitanchchuwas hayssada yaagada xaafa. Geeshshaynne tumanchchoy, Dawite qulppiya ba kushen oykkidayssi, hayssada yaagees: i gorddin oonikka dooyanaw dandda7enna; qassi I dooyin oonikka gorddanaw dandda7enna.
8 I know your life (see, I have set a door open before you which no one is able to shut), I know that, though you have but little strength, you kept my teaching in mind, and did not disown my name.
Taani ne oosuwa eras; hekko ta ne sinthan oonikka gorddanaw dandda7onna dooya pengge wothas. Ne wolqqay guutha gidikkoka, ta qaalaa naagadasa; tana kaddabaakka.
9 Listen, I give some of the congregation of Satan, the people who declare that they are God’s people, though they are not, but are lying – I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will learn that I loved you.
Ayhude gidonnashin, banttana Ayhude giya worddotanne Xalahe baggata neekko ehananne ne sinthan gulbbatisana. Ta nena doseyssa enttana erisana.
10 Because you kept in mind the story of my endurance, I will keep you in the hour of trial that is about to come on the whole world, the hour that will test all who are living on earth.
Neeni, ‘Gencca’ gada ta kiittida kiitaa naagida gisho, kumetha alamiya paccanaw yaa waaye wodiyappe taani nena naagana.
11 I will come quickly. Hold to what you have received so that no one may take your crown.
Taani ellesada yaana; oonikka ne kallachchaa ekkonna mela new de7iyabaa minthada oykka.
12 Those who conquer – I will make them a pillar in the Temple of my God; and never more will they leave it; and I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God, and I will write on them my new name.
Xoonidayssa ta Xoossa Keethan tuussu oothana; i yan merinaw daana. Taani ta Xoossaa sunthaanne ta Xoossaa katamaa sunthaa iya bolla xaafana; iyakka ta Xoossaa matappe wodhdhiya ooratha Yerusalaame. Qassi ta ta ooratha sunthaaka i bolla xaafana.
13 Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
Geeshsha Ayyaanay woosa keethatas giyabaa si7iya haythi de7iya oonikka si7o.
14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Unchanging One, the witness faithful and true, the beginning of the Creation of God:
“Loodoqiya woosa keetha kiitanchchuwas hayssada yaagada xaafa. ‘Amin7i’ gidida ammanettida tuma markkay, Xoossaa medhetethaa haareyssi hayssada yaagees.
15 I know your life; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. If only you were either cold or hot!
Taani ne oosuwa ubbaa erays; neeni irxxa woykko misha gidakka; neeni nam77aafe issuwa gidikko lo77o!
16 But now, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
Neeni irxxa woykko misha gidonnashin, bol77o gidiya gisho ta nena ta doonappe cuttana hanays.
17 You say ‘I am rich and have grown rich, and I want for nothing,’ and you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, naked!
Hiza, neeni, ‘Taani dure, shallora de7ays, taw aybibaykka paccibeenna’ yaagasa. Shin neeni metootanchcho, manqo, qooqenne kallotida asi gideyssa erakka.
18 Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold which has been refined by fire so that you may grow rich; and white robes, so that you may be clothed and your shameful nakedness be hidden; and ointment to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.
Hessa gisho, ne duretanaw taman geeyida worqqa, ne yeella kalluwa kammanaw bootha ma7onne loytha xeellanaw dandda7isiya ayfe dhale taappe shammana mela nena ta zorays.
19 All whom I love I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be in earnest and repent.
Ta doseyssa seeraysinne hanqays; hiza minna; ne nagaraappe simma.
20 I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will go in, and will feast with them, and they will feast with me.
Hekko, ta karen eqqada xeegays. Oonikka ta xeessaa si7idi, wulaa dooyikko, iyaakko gelana; iyara issife kathi maana; ikka taara issife maana.
21 To those who conquer – to them I will give the right to sit beside me on my throne, as I, when I conquered, took my seat beside my Father on his throne.
Ta xoonada ta Aawara iya araatan uttidayssada xooniday taara ta araatan uttana mela maata immana.
22 Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”
Geeshsha Ayyaanay woosa keethatas giyabaa si7iya haythi de7ey si7o” yaagis.
