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.
Kwa munyamola ughwa lukong'ano ilya ku Sardi lemba: 'Amasio ghajula juno akalolile imhepo sila lekela lubale isa Nguluve ni nondue lekela lubale. “Nikaguile kino uvombile. Uli nulughinio ulwakuva mwumi, looli uli-mfue.
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.
Simuka nakukangasia sino sisighile, looli ghasighile padebe pifua, ulwakuva nanikasivwene imbombo sako kuuti sikwiline pa maso gha Nguluve ghwango.
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.
Lino, kumbukagha, ghala ghano ukupile na kupulika. Ughalekaghe na kulata. Looli nave naghusisimuka, nikwisa hene miiji, nakange nungakagule n'siki muki ghuno kwande nikwisa kulyuve.
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.
Looli kweghale amatavua madebe agha vaanhu ku Sardi vano navakanyasisie amenda ghavanave. vighendagha palikimo numue, vafwalile amenda amavalafu, ulwakuva vanoghile.
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.
Umwene juno ilefia ifwikua amenda amavalafu, nambe padebe nanisimia, ilitavua lya mwene kuhuma mukitabu kya vwumi, kange nikulitambula ilitavua lya mwene pavulongolo pa Nhata ghwango, na pavulongolo pavanyamola.
6 Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
Nave ulinimbughulutu, pulikkisia u Mhepo ndavule ikusivula ing'ong'ano.”
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:
“Kwa munyamola ughwa lukong'ano ulwa ku Philadefia lemba: amasio gha jula mwimike kanga kyang'ani - juno alinifidindulilo fya Daudi, idindula nakwale kange juno idinda, idinda nakwale juno idindula.
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.
Nikagwile kino uvombile. Lolaa, nikubikile pavulongolo palyuve ghuno ghudindwike ghuno nakwale juno idinda. Nikaguile kuuti uli ningufu ndebe, looli ulyitike ilisio lyango kange kange nukanile ilitavua lyango.
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.
Lolagha! Vooni valinyumba ja kufunyila ja setano, vala vano viiti va Yahudi kumbe navevene, pa uluo videsania. Nikuvavika vise kukufunya pavulongolo pa maghulu ghako, kange vikagula kuuti nikakughanile.
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.
Ulwakuva ugadilile ululaghilo lwango nu ligudo ulwa vupesie, nikukudimagha kange mufivalilo fyako ifya kughelua kino kikwisa mu iisi jooni, kukuvaghela vala vooni vano vikukala mu iisi.
11 I will come quickly. Hold to what you have received so that no one may take your crown.
Nikwisa ng'aning'ani. Gadililagha kyongo kila kino ulinakyo ulwakuuti napangavisaghe umuunhu ughwa kutola ingela jako.
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.
Nikum'bika umwene juno ilefia kuva manda munyumba inyimike ijakufunyila ija Nguluve ghwango, kange naalyahuma kunji lusiku. Nilemba kwa mwene ilituvua lya Nguluve ghwango, ilitavua ilya likaja lya Nguluve ghango (Yerusalemu imia, lino likwika pasi kuhuma kukyanya kwa Nguluve ghwango), nilitavua lyango ilipia.
13 Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
Umwene juno ali nimbughulutu, ghwe apulikaghe kino u Mhepo ikusivula ing'ano.'
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:
“Kwa munyamola ghwa lukong'ano lwa Laodikia lemba: 'Amasio ghajula juno Amina, juno ihuvilua nu mwolesi ghwa kyang'ani, n'temi muvupelua vwa Nguluve.
15 I know your life; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. If only you were either cold or hot!
Nikaguile kino uvombile, kuuti uve nuli n'suvusu nambe m'pio, ninoghilue kuuti usavisagha n'suvusu nambe mpio!
16 But now, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
Pauluo, ulwakuva uve ulimfukefu, nulimpio nambe nulinsuvusu, nikukusyetula uhume mumulomo ghwngo.
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!
Ulwakuva ghwiiti, “Une nili mofu, nili nukyuma kiinga, nanilonda nambe kimonga.” Looli ni kagwile kuuti uve ulimughaji, kyongo, ghwa kusukunalilua, uvugholofu, um'bofu ghwa iisi.
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.
Pulikisyagha uluvungo lwango: ghulagha kulyune isahabu jino jisukilue nu mwoto ulwakuuti uve mofu, na menda amavalafu ghano ghilangalenga ulwakuuti ghufwasiaghe juve kange ningahuvilaghe isooni isa vufula vwako na mafuta ghako paka mu maso ghako ukagula kulola.
19 All whom I love I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be in earnest and repent.
Ghweni juno nimughanile, nikumulungika na pikum'bulanisia ndavule lunoghile pikukala; lino, piva ghwa kyang'ani na pikulaata.
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.
Lolagha nimile pamuliango na kuhodesia. ghweni juno ipulika ilisio lyango na kudindula umulyango, nikwisa napikwingila munyumba ja mwene, napilia ikyakulia nu mwene ghwope palikimo nune.
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.
Umwene juno ilefia, nikumpela uvwa kyang'ani pikukala pasi palikimo nune pakyanya pakitengo kyango ikya vutua, ndavule une vule nikalefie na pikukala pasi palikimo nhu Nhata ghwango pakyanya pakitengo kya mwene kya vutua.
22 Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”
Umwene juno alinimbughulutu, apulikisyaghe kino u Mhepo ikusivula ing'ong'ano.”
