Revelation 3
1 "To the minister of the Church at Sardis write as follows: "'This is what He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars says. I know your doings--you are supposed to be alive, but in reality you are dead.
Kumwaangelo wambungano ili mu Sadisi lemba: “Majwi awumwi ujisi myuuya ili musanu ayibili yaLeza anyenyeezi zili musanu ayibili. Ndilizi zyiito zyako. Ulaazina lyakuti muli bawuumi, pesi mulifwide.
2 Rouse yourself and keep awake, and strengthen those things which remain but have well-nigh perished; for I have found no doings of yours free from imperfection in the sight of My God.
Amubuke akusimisya zyachaala pesi zyaamba kufwa, nkaambo taakwe pe nindajana zyiito zyako kazizulide kubusyu bwa Leza wangu.
3 Be mindful, therefore, of the lessons you have received and heard. Continually lay them to heart, and repent. If, however, you fail to rouse yourself and keep awake, I shall come upon you suddenly like a thief, and you will certainly not know the hour at which I shall come to judge you.
Nkikaako, yeeya, eecho nchwakatambula, anchwakamvwa. Chiswiilile akweempwa. Pesi na tewabuka ndiyoboola mbuli mubbi, pesi taakwe nuyooziba kuti nchiindi chili nindiyoboola akubukila nduwe.
4 Yet you have in Sardis a few who have not soiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white; for they are worthy.
Pesi uli aamazina mache mu Sadisi aayo atakwe nasofwaazya zisamo zyawo, aboobo baloyeenda andime kabasamide zituba mbukunga baleelela.
5 "'In this way he who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments; and I will certainly not blot out his name from the Book of Life, but will acknowledge him in the presence of My Father and His angels.
Kuli umwi uzunda unooli kasamide mumalembo atuba, alubo takwe nindiyoogwisya zina lyakwe aanze lyabbuku lyabuumi, eelyo ndiyo aamba zina lyakwe kunembo lya Taata wangu, akunembo lyabaangelo bakwe.
6 Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'
Ooyo uli akutwi amvwe muuya chuwamba kumambungano.”
7 "To the minister of the Church at Philadelphia write as follows: "'This is what the holy One and the true says--He who has the key of David--He who opens and no one shall shut, and shuts and no one shall open.
“Kumbungano ili mu Filadelufiya lemba: “Majwi awumwi uusalala wachoonzyo -ooyo ujisi makkiyi a Devidi, ulajula mpawo taakwe uumbi ujala, ulajala mpawo taakwe umbi ujula.
8 I know your doings. I have put an opened door in front of you, which no one can shut; because you have but a little power, and yet you have guarded My word and have not disowned Me.
“Ndilizi zyiito zyako. Boona, ndabika kunembo lyako mulyango ujulukide kuti kutabi umbi ujala. Ndilizi kuti ulaanguzu ziche, nekubaboobo wakaswiilila jwi lyangu akutakaka zina lyangu.
9 I will cause some belonging to Satan's synagogue who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are liars--I will make them come and fall at your feet and know for certain that I have loved you.
Boona, ndilakuchisya aabo bali muchikombelo cha Satani, aabo balyiita lwabo beni ma Juda pesi kabatali oobo pesi kabili babeji - ndiyoobachita kuti baze akukotama ansi kunembo lyazituta zyako, aboobo bayooziba kuti ndilakuyanda.
10 Because in spite of suffering you have guarded My word, I in turn will guard you from that hour of trial which is soon coming upon the whole world, to put to the test the inhabitants of the earth.
Mbuli mbwakabamba mulayizyo wangu chakukakatila ndiyookubamba alimwi kuchiindi chakweenzegwa kuyoosika kunyika yoonse, kuti kweezegwe aabo bapona munyika.
11 I am coming quickly: cling to that which you already possess, so that your wreath of victory be not taken away from you.
Ndiyoboola akufwambaana. Jatisya kuli eezyo nzulaazyo kuti kutabi umwi ukunyanzya musini wako.
12 "'He who overcomes--I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of My God, and he shall never go out from it again. And I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which is to come down out of Heaven from My God, and My own new name.
Kuli yooyo uzunda ndilakumuchita musemu muchikombelo cha Leza. Takwe alubo nanga ulaya aanze anchicho, pesi ndiyoolemba alinguwe zina lya Leza wangu, zina lyadolopo lya Leza wangu (Jeliusalemu mpya, ooyo useluka ansi kuzwa kujululya Leza wangu) azina pya lyangu.
13 Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'
Ita umwi ulaakutwi amvwe muuya chunokwaamba mumambungano.”
14 "And to the minister of the Church at Laodicea write as follows: "'This is what the Amen says--the true and faithful witness, the Beginning and Lord of God's Creation.
'“Kumwaangelo wambungano ili mu Layodisiya lemba: “Majwi a Ameni, asyomekede akamboni wakasimpe, mweendelezi atala azilengwa zya Leza.
15 I know your doings--you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you were cold or hot!
“Ndilizi zyiito zyako akuti tulikutontola nekuba kupya!
16 Accordingly, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, before long I will vomit you out of My mouth.
Lino akaambo kakuti ulakasaala -kukuluka anze amulomo wangu.
17 You say, I am rich, and have wealth stored up, and I stand in need of nothing; and you do not know that if there is a wretched creature it is you -- pitiable, poor, blind, naked.
Nkaambo ulati, ndilimuvub, ndili azintu ziingi, taakwe nchiyanda. “Pesi taakwe nuzi kuti wuusisya nsoni loko akufwidwa nsoni, ulimuchete ulimoofu, akuba aachintanda.
18 Therefore I counsel you to buy of Me gold refined in the fire that you may become rich, and white robes to put on, so as to hide your shameful nakedness, and eye-salve to anoint your eyes with, so that you may be able to see.
Swiilila kululayo lwangu: Ula kindime ngolida yakasukwa aamulilo kuti ukabe muvubi, amalembo atuba ang'ayima kuti ulisamike lwako akuti utakatondeezyi bweeme bwachintanda chako, amfutaakunanika mesoaakokuti ukabone.
19 All whom I hold dear, I reprove and chastise; therefore be in earnest and repent.
Ndakalalila akusibula woonse ngundiyanda. Aboobo, sungwaala akweempwa.
20 I am now standing at the door and am knocking. If any one listens to My voice and opens the door, I will go in to be with him and will feast with him, and he shall feast with Me.
Boona ndiliimvwi amulyangu akukonkomona. Na umwi wamvwa jwi lyangu akujula mulyango, ndiyyosika mung'anda yakwe akulya aawe, alakwe andime.
21 "'To him who overcomes I will give the privilege of sitting down with Me on My throne, as I also have overcome and have sat down with My Father on His throne.
Ooyo uzunda ndiyoomupa cheleelo chakukkala ansi andime achuuno changu chjabulemu, a Taata acchuuno chakwe.
22 Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'"
Chita kuti umwi ulaakutwi amvwe muuya chuwaamba mumambungano.””
