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 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 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.

Simuka nakukangasia sino sisighile, looli ghasighile padebe pifua, ulwakuva nanikasivwene imbombo sako kuuti sikwiline pa maso gha Nguluve ghwango.

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.

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 you have in Sardis a few who have not soiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me 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 "'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.

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 all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'

Nave ulinimbughulutu, pulikkisia u Mhepo ndavule ikusivula ing'ong'ano.”

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 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 am coming quickly: cling to that which you already possess, so that your wreath of victory be not taken away from you.

Nikwisa ng'aning'ani. Gadililagha kyongo kila kino ulinakyo ulwakuuti napangavisaghe umuunhu ughwa kutola ingela jako.

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.

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 all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'

Umwene juno ali nimbughulutu, ghwe apulikaghe kino u Mhepo ikusivula ing'ano.'

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 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 doings--you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you were cold or hot!

Nikaguile kino uvombile, kuuti uve nuli n'suvusu nambe m'pio, ninoghilue kuuti usavisagha n'suvusu nambe mpio!

16 Accordingly, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, before long I will vomit you out of My mouth.

Pauluo, ulwakuva uve ulimfukefu, nulimpio nambe nulinsuvusu, nikukusyetula uhume mumulomo ghwngo.

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.

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 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.

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 hold dear, I reprove and chastise; 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 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.

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 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.

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 all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'"

Umwene juno alinimbughulutu, apulikisyaghe kino u Mhepo ikusivula ing'ong'ano.”
