< 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.
Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Sardi jhandikayi: 'Malobhi gha jhola jhaikamulila sela roho saba sya K'yara ni matondo saba. “Nimanyili kya ubhombili. Ujhe ni sifa jha kujha hai, lakini ghwe mfu.
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.
Jhumukayi ni kuimarisya ghaghasiele, lakini ghajhe karibu kufwa, kwandabha naghabhwene lepi matendo gha jhobhi ghakamiliki pa mihu pa K'yara ghwangu.
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.
Kwa hiyo, khombokayi ghala ghaughapokili ni kup'eleka. Ghatiajhi ni kutubu. Lakini ukabelayi kujhumuka, nibeta kuhida kama mmeji na wibeta lepi kumanya saa jheleku jhanibetakuhida panani pa bhebhe.
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.
Lakini ghajhele mahina madebe gha bhanu mu Sardi ambabho bhachafwilepi nghobho sya bhene. Bhibeta kugenda pamonga ni nene bhafwalili nghobho sibhalafu, kwandabha bhakastahili.
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.
Muene jhaibeta kushinda ibeta kufwatikibhwa maguanda mabhalafu, ni kamwe nikalifutalepi lihina lya muene kuhoma mu kitabu kya uzima, na nibetakulitaja lihina lya muene palongolo pa Dadi jhangu, ni palongolo pa malaika.
6 Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'
Ukajhelayi ni mb'olokoto pelekesiajhi Roho kya akaghajobhela makanisa.”
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.
“Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Philadefia jhandikayi: Malobhi gha ajhele mtakatifu ni kweli - jhaajhe ni fungulu sya Daudi, ifungana ijhelepi ghwa kudendula, ifunga na ajhelepi jhaibhwesya kudendula.
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.
Nimanyili gha ukhetili. Langayi, nikubhokili palongolo pa jhobhi ndiangu bhwabhudendulibhu ambabho ajhelepi jha ibhwesya kubhudendula. Nimanyili ujhe ni nghofu kidogo, lakini ulijhedekili lilobhi lyangu na ulibelililepi lihina lya nene.
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.
Langayi! Bhoha bhabhajhele bha sinagogi lya syetani, ni bhala bhabhijobha bhene Bhayahudi na kumbe lepi, bhadala jhiake bhikofya. Nibetakubhafwanya bhahidayi ni kusujudu palongolo pa magolo gha jhobhi, na bhibetamanya jha kujha nikuganili.
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.
Kwandabha utunzili amri jhangu kwa uvumilivu bhwa uthabiti, nibetakulenda kabhele mu saa jha jhobhi jha kujaribibhwa ambajho jhihida mu ulimwengu bhuoha, kubhajaribu bhala bhoha bhabhiishi mu nchi.
11 I am coming quickly: cling to that which you already possess, so that your wreath of victory be not taken away from you.
Nihida manyata kikamulilayi sana khela kya ujhe naku ili asijhi munu ghwa kutola taji jha bhebhe.
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.
Nibetakheta muene ashindayi mu nguzo mu hekalu jha K'yara ghwangu, na ibetalepi kupita kwibhala kamwe. Nibetakulilemba lihina lya K'yara ghwangu (Yerusalemu mpya, jhaghwiselela pasi kuhoma kumbinguni kwa K'yara ghwangu), ni lihina lya nene lipya.
13 Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'
Muenga jha ajhele ni mbol'okoto, na apelekayi khela ambakyo Roho ijobha kwa makanisa.'
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.
“Kwa malaika bha likanisa lya Laodikia jhandikayi: 'Malobhi gha muene jha amini, bhakutegemilibhwa ni shahidi mwaminifu, mtabhwala panani pa bhwa K'yara.
15 I know your doings--you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you were cold or hot!
Nimanyili kyaukhetili, ni kujha bhebhe ghwe mepu lepi wala muoto, ninogheleghe kujha ngaujhele ghwa mepu au muoto!
16 Accordingly, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, before long I will vomit you out of My mouth.
Efyo, kwandabha bhebhe ndo vuguvugu, ghwa muoto lepi wala ghwen'sisimu, nibeta kufunya upitayi mu ndomo mwa nene.
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.
Kukujha wijobha, “Nene ne tajiri, nijhele ni mali simehele, na nilonda lepi kyokyoha.” Lakini umanyililepi kujha bhebhe ghwe duni sana, ghwakuhuzunikibhwa, maskini, kipofu ni ngoli.
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.
Pelekesiajhi ushauri bhwa nene: Hemelayi kwa nene dhahabu jhajhisukibhu kwa muoto ili abhwesiajhi kujha tajiri, ni nghobho sibhalafu sya kumelemele ili ukifwekayi ghwe muene na usilasi soni jha ngoli jha jhobhi, ni mafuta gha kubakala mu mihu gha jhobhi ghabhwesiajhi kulola.
19 All whom I hold dear, I reprove and chastise; therefore be in earnest and repent.
Khila jhanin'ganili, nikanjelekesya ni kubhafundisya namna jhajhilondeka kutama; henu, jhelayi ghwa mkweli ni kutubu.
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.
Langayi nijhema pandiangu ni kuhodisya. Jhejhioha jha ipelekayi sauti jha nene ni kudendula ndiangu, nibeta kuhida ni kujhingila munyumba jha muene ni kulya kyakulya pamonga ni muene ni muene pamonga ni nene.
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.
Muene jhaishinda, nibeta kumpela haki jha kutama pasi pamonga ni nene nani panani pa kiti kyangu kya enzi, Kama vile nene kyanishindili ni kutama pasi ni Dadi jhangu panani pa kiti kya enzi.
22 Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'"
Muene jha ajhele ni mbol'okoto, na apelekesiajhi ambakyo Roho ikaghajobhela makanisa.”
