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.
“A zanj legliz nan Sardes la, ekri: Sila ki gen sèt Lespri Bondye ak sèt zetwal yo, di sa a: Mwen konnen zèv nou yo, ke nou gen repitasyon ke nou vivan, men nou mouri.
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
Reveye nou, e ranfòse bagay ki rete yo, ke ou te prèt pou jete deyò; paske Mwen pa twouve zèv nou yo konplè nan zye Bondye.
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.
Donk, sonje sa nou te resevwa e tande a. Kenbe l e repanti. Konsa, si nou pa reveye nou, Mwen va vini tankou yon vòlè, e nou p ap konnen a kilè Mwen va vini sou nou an.
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.
“Men nou gen kèk moun nan Sardes ki pa t sal vètman yo. Yo va mache avèk Mwen abiye an blan, paske yo dign de sa.
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.
“Sila ki vin venkè a va abiye konsa, an vètman blan. Mwen p ap janm efase non li nan liv lavi a, e Mwen va konfese non li devan Papa M ak devan zanj Li yo.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Sila ki gen yon zòrèy, kite l tande sa Lespri a di a legliz yo.
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:
“A zanj legliz nan Philadelphie a, ekri: Sila ki sen an, ki vrè a, ki gen kle David la, k ap louvri pou pèsòn p ap ka fèmen l, e ki fèmen pou pèsòn p ap ka louvri a, di konsa:
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.
Mwen konnen zèv nou yo. Gade byen, Mwen mete devan nou yon pòt louvri ke pèsòn pa kab fèmen, paske nou gen yon ti pouvwa, epi nou te kenbe pawòl Mwen, e pa t nye non Mwen.
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.
Gade byen, Mwen va koze sila ki nan sinagòg Satan yo, ki di ke yo se Jwif, men ki pa sa a, kap manti—Mwen va fè yo vin bese nan pye nou, e fè yo konnen ke Mwen renmen nou.
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.
“Paske nou kenbe pawòl pèseverans Mwen an, Mwen va kenbe nou osi nan lè eprèv la, lè ki prèt pou vini sou tout mond lan pou pase a leprèv tout sila ki rete sou latè yo.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
“Mwen ap vini vit! Kenbe fèm a sa nou genyen an, jis pou pèsòn pa rache kouwòn nou an.
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.
“Sila ki venkè a, Mwen va fè li vin yon pilye nan tanp a Bondye Mwen an. Konsa, li p ap sòti deyò ankò, e Mwen va ekri sou li non a Bondye Mwen an, ak non a gran vil Bondye Mwen an, Jérusalem tounèf la, ki desann soti nan syèl, de Bondye Mwen, avèk non tounèf Mwen an.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
“Sila ki gen yon zòrèy la, kite li tande sa Lespri a di a legliz yo”.
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;
“A zanj legliz nan Laodicée a, ekri: Amen lan, Fidèl e Vrè Temwen lan, Kòmansman kreyasyon Bondye la, di konsa:
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Mwen konnen zèv nou yo, ke nou pa ni frèt ni cho. Mwen ta pito ke nou te frèt oswa cho.
16 So then, because thou art luke-warm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit thee out of my mouth:
“Donk, paske nou tyèd, e nou pa cho ni frèt, Mwen va krache nou sòti nan bouch Mwen.
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:
Paske nou di: “Mwen rich! Mwen gen tan ranmase yon fòtin, e mwen pa bezwen anyen”; men nou pa konnen ke nou se malere, mizerab, pòv, avèg, e toutouni.
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.
“Konsa, mwen konseye nou achte nan men Mwen lò ki rafine nan dife pou nou kapab vin rich, e vètman blan pou mete sou nou pou wont toutouni nou an pa vin parèt; ak pomad zye pou nou pase nan zye nou pou nou kapab vin wè.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
“Sila ke M renmen yo, Mwen reprimande e disipline yo. Konsa, se pou nou vin plen ak zèl, e repanti.
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.
“Gade byen, Mwen kanpe nan pòt la e Mwen frape. Si yon moun tande vwa M, e ouvri pòt la, Mwen va antre kote li, Mwen va dine avè l, e li menm avè M.
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.
“Sila ki venkè a, Mwen va lèse l vin chita avè M sou twòn Mwen an, jan Mwen menm tou te vin venkè a, e te vin chita avèk Papa M sou twòn Li an.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
“Sila ki gen yon zòrèy la, kite li tande sa Lespri a di a legliz yo”.
