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, that thou hast a name, that thou livest, and art dead.
“Ŋlɔ agbalẽ na Sardis hamea ƒe mawudɔla be, Esiawoe nye nya siwo ame si lé Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ adreawo kple ɣletivi adreawo ɖe asi la gblɔ. Menya wò dɔwɔwɔwo; wò ŋkɔ ɖi le teƒewo be èle agbe, gake èku
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
Nyɔ! Do ŋusẽ nu siwo susɔ, eye wole kumɔ dzi la, elabena nyemekpɔ be wò dɔwɔwɔ de blibo le nye Mawu ŋkume o,
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
eya ta ɖo ŋku nu si nèxɔ, eye nèse la dzi; wɔ edzi, eye nàtrɔ dzi me. Ke ne mènyɔ o la, mava gbɔwò abe fiafitɔ ene, eye mànya ga si me mava gbɔwò o.
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
Ke hã la, ame ʋɛ aɖewo le asiwò le Sardis, ame siwo meƒo ɖi woƒe awuwo o. Woazɔ kplim, eye woanɔ awu ɣiwo me, elabena wodze nɛ.
5 He that overcometh, 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.
Ame si ɖu dzi la hã anɔ abe wo ameawo ene, anɔ awu ɣi me. Nyematutu eƒe ŋkɔ ɖa le agbegbalẽa me gbeɖe o, ke boŋ maʋu eƒe ŋkɔ me le Fofonye kple eƒe mawudɔlawo ŋkume.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Ame si to senu li na la, nese nu si gblɔm Gbɔgbɔ la le na hameawo.
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth:
“Ŋlɔ agbalẽ na Filadelfia hamea ƒe mawudɔla be, Esiawo nye ame si le kɔkɔe, nye nyateƒetɔ, eye David ƒe safui le esi la ƒe nyawo. Nu si wòʋu la, ame aɖeke mate ŋu atui o, eye nu si wòtu la, ame aɖeke mate ŋu aʋui o.
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Menya wò dɔwɔwɔwo. Kpɔ ɖa, metsɔ ʋɔ si le ʋuʋu si ame aɖeke mate ŋu atu o la ɖo ŋkuwòme. Menya be wò ŋusẽ le sue, ke hã la, èlé nye nya me ɖe asi, eye mègbe nu le nye ŋkɔ gbɔ o.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Mana ame siwo nye Satana ƒe ƒuƒoƒemenɔlawo, ame siwo gblɔ be yewonye Yudatɔwo, evɔ womenyee o, ke boŋ wonye alakpatɔwo la ava de ta agu ɖe wò afɔ nu, eye woaʋu eme be melɔ̃ wò.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Esi nèlé nye sedede me ɖe asi be nànɔ te le dzigbɔɖi me ta la, nye hã maɖe wò le dodokpɔ ƒe gaƒoƒo si gbɔna xexea me katã dzi, be woado anyigbadzinɔlawo kpɔ la me.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Kpɔ ɖa, megbɔna kaba! Lé ŋusẽ sue si le asiwò la me ɖe asi sesĩe ale be ame aɖeke maxɔ wò fiakuku la le asiwò o.
12 Him that overcometh, will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name.
Ame si aɖu dzi la, mawɔe wòazu sɔti le Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ me, eye magado go akpɔ o. Maŋlɔ nye Mawu ƒe ŋkɔ ɖe eŋu, eye wòazu dumevi, atso nye Mawu ƒe du, Yerusalem Yeye la me. Du sia aɖiɖi tso nye Mawu gbɔ le dziƒo. Mawu ana woaŋlɔ nye ŋkɔ yeye la ɖe ame sia ŋu.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Ame sia ame si to senu li na la nese nu si gblɔm Gbɔgbɔ la le na hameawo.
14 And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
“Ŋlɔ agbalẽ sia na hame si le Laodikea ƒe mawudɔla, Nya siawo tso ame si nye Amen, ame si nye ɖaseɖila, nuteƒewɔla kple anukwaretɔ, ame si nye Mawu ƒe nuwɔwɔwo ƒe gɔmedzedze la gbɔ.
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Menya wò nyuie be mèfa o, eye mèxɔ dzo hã o. Madi be nàfa alo nàxɔ dzo hafi!
16 So then, because thou art luke-warm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit thee out of my mouth:
Ke esi nèle evedome si alea ta la, matu wò aƒu gbe tso nye nu me!
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Ègblɔ be, ‘Menye kesinɔtɔ. Nu sia nu si mehiã la le asinye. Naneke mehiãm o!’ Ke mènyae be yenye nublanuitɔ, ame dahe kple ŋkuagbãtɔ, eye yele amama o.
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eye-salve, that thou mayest see.
Nye aɖaŋuɖoɖo na wòe nye be nàƒle sika nyuitɔ si ŋu wokɔ kple dzo la le gbɔnye. Eya koe ana nànye kesinɔtɔ vavãtɔ. Emegbe la, nàƒle awu ɣi kɔkɔewo le gbɔnye, ale be màganɔ amama, eye ŋu nakpe wò o. Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, nàƒle ŋkutike le gbɔnye, ada gbe le wò ŋkuwo ŋu, eye nàgakpɔ nu.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Mehea to na ame sia ame si melɔ̃na la enuenu, eya ta ele be mahe to na wò, negbe ɖeko nàɖe asi le wò ɖekematsɔleme ŋu, eye nàtsɔ dzo ɖe nu siwo ku ɖe Mawu ŋu la ŋuti hafi.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: If any man shall hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Kpɔ ɖa! Metsi tsitre ɖe ʋɔtru la nu, eye mele eƒom. Ne ame aɖe se nye gbe, eye wòʋu ʋɔa la, mage ɖe eme, eye mi kplii míade asi agba me aɖu nu ɖekae.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me on my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father on his throne.
Mana ame si ɖu dzi la nanɔ nye axadzi le nye fiazikpui dzi abe ale si nye hã meɖu dzi, eye mele Fofonye gbɔ le eƒe fiazikpui dzi ene.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Ame siwo to senu li na la nese nu si gblɔm Gbɔgbɔ la le na hameawo.”
