Kũguũrĩrio 3
1 “Kũrĩ mũraika wa kanitha wa Saride, mwandĩkĩre atĩrĩ: Ici nĩcio ciugo cia ũrĩa ũrĩ na maroho mũgwanja ma Ngai, o na njata mũgwanja. Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩnjũũĩ ciĩko ciaku; nĩmenyete atĩ nĩũrĩ ngumo ya gũkorwo ũrĩ muoyo, no ũrĩ mũkuũ.
“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘These are the words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know yoʋr works; yoʋ have made a name for yoʋrself and yoʋ are alive, but actually yoʋ are dead.
2 Arahũka! Ĩkĩra hinya maũndũ marĩa matigaire na marenda gũkua, nĩgũkorwo ndionete ciĩko ciaku irĩ nginyanĩru maitho-inĩ ma Ngai wakwa.
Be watchful and strengthen what remains, which yoʋ were about to throw away, for I have not found yoʋr works to be complete in the sight of my God.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ririkana maũndũ marĩa wamũkĩrĩte na ũkamaigua; maathĩkĩre na wĩrire. No ũngĩrega kwarahũka-rĩ, nĩngooka ta mũici, na ndũkamenya ihinda rĩrĩa ngaagũkorerera.
So remember what yoʋ have received and heard; obey it and repent. If yoʋ do not wake up, I will come upon yoʋ like a thief, and yoʋ will certainly not know at what hour I will come upon yoʋ.
4 No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũrĩ andũ matarĩ aingĩ kũu Saride arĩa matekĩrĩte nguo ciao gĩko. Nĩmagatwaranaga na niĩ mehumbĩte nguo njerũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmagĩrĩire.
But yoʋ have a few individuals in Sardis who have not defiled their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
5 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũgatoorania-rĩ, nĩakahumbwo nguo njerũ tao. Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaatharia rĩĩtwa rĩake kuuma ibuku-inĩ rĩa muoyo, no nĩngoimbũra rĩĩtwa rĩake mbere ya Baba, na araika aake.
He who overcomes will be clothed in white garments. I will certainly not blot out his name from the book of life, but will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
6 Ũrĩa ũrĩ gũtũ-rĩ, nĩakĩigue ũrĩa Roho areera makanitha.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’
7 “Kũrĩ mũraika wa kanitha wa Filadelifia, mwandĩkĩre atĩrĩ: Ici nĩcio ciugo cia ũrĩa mũtheru na wa ma, ũrĩa ũnyiitĩte cabi ya Daudi. Kũrĩa ahingũra gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhinga, na kũrĩa ahinga gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhingũra.
“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘These are the words of him who is holy and true, who has the key of David and opens doors that no one else can open or shut:
8 Nĩnjũũĩ ciĩko ciaku. Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩnjĩkĩrĩte mũrango mũhingũre mbere yaku, ũrĩa ũtarĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota kũũhinga. Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ hinya ũrĩa ũrĩ naguo nĩ mũnini, no nĩũrũmĩtie kiugo gĩakwa, na ndũigana gũkaana rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
I know yoʋr works. Behold, I have set before yoʋ an open door that no one can shut. I know that yoʋ have little strength, but yoʋ have kept my word and have not denied my name.
9 Nĩngatũma andũ arĩa a thunagogi ya Shaitani, arĩa moigaga atĩ nĩ Ayahudi o na gũtuĩka tio, no nĩkũheenania maheenanagia, ndũme moke mainamĩrĩre mbere ya magũrũ maku, na moimbũre atĩ nĩngwendete.
Those of the synagogue of Satan are liars. They declare themselves to be Jews but are not. Behold, I will make them come and bow down at yoʋr feet, and they will know that I love yoʋ.
10 Na tondũ nawe nĩũtũũrĩte ũrũmĩtie rĩathani rĩakwa rĩa gũikara ũmĩrĩirie-rĩ, o na niĩ nĩngagũikaria ihinda rĩa kũgerio rĩrĩa rĩgooka mabũrũri mothe kũgeria arĩa matũũraga gũkũ thĩ.
Because yoʋ have kept my command to persevere, I will keep yoʋ from the hour of trial that is about to come upon the whole world to test those who dwell on the earth.
11 Ngũũka o narua. Rũmia kĩrĩa ũrĩ nakĩo, nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe mũndũ ũkuoya thũmbĩ yaku.
I am coming quickly. Hold fast to what yoʋ have so that no one will take yoʋr crown.
12 Ũrĩa ũgaatoorania-rĩ, nĩngamũtua gĩtugĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Ngai wakwa. Ndarĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ agacooka kuuma kuo. Nĩngamwandĩka rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai wakwa o na rĩĩtwa rĩa itũũra inene rĩa Ngai wakwa, nĩrĩo Jerusalemu ĩrĩa njerũ, rĩrĩa rĩraikũrũka kuuma igũrũ kũrĩ Ngai wakwa; o na ningĩ ndĩmwandĩke rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩerũ.
The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will no longer go out at all. I will write on him the name of my God, the name of the city of my God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from my God), and the new name he is to receive.
13 Ũrĩa ũrĩ gũtũ-rĩ, nĩakĩigue ũrĩa Roho areera makanitha.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’
14 “Kũrĩ mũraika wa kanitha wa Laodikia, mwandĩkĩre atĩrĩ: Ici nĩcio ciugo cia ũcio Ameni, mũira ũrĩa mwĩhokeku na wa ma, o we mwathi wa ciũmbe cia Ngai.
“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the origin of God's creation:
15 Nĩnjũũĩ ciĩko ciaku, ngamenya atĩ wee ndũrĩ mũhoro na ndũrĩ mũhiũ. Kũngĩrĩ wega korwo waheha kana ũhiũhe!
I know yoʋr works; yoʋ are neither cold nor hot. If only yoʋ were cold or hot!
16 No tondũ ũrĩ mũraru, ũkaaga kũhiũha na ũkaaga kũhora-rĩ, ngirie gũgũtua thĩ uume kanua gakwa.
So, because yoʋ are lukewarm, and not hot or cold, I am about to spit yoʋ out of my mouth.
17 Wee ugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndĩ gĩtonga, ngagĩa na indo nyingĩ, na ndirĩ kĩndũ njagĩte.’ No wee ndũũĩ atĩ ũrĩ mũnyamarĩki, na ũrĩ wa kũiguĩrwo tha, na ũrĩ mũthĩĩni, na ũrĩ mũtumumu, o na ũrĩ njaga.
For yoʋ say, “I am rich; I have become wealthy and need nothing,” but yoʋ do not realize that yoʋ are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.
18 Ngũgũtaara atĩ ũgũre thahabu ĩrĩa therie na mwaki kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, nĩgeetha ũtonge, na ningĩ ũgũre nguo cia rangi mwerũ cia kwĩhumba, nĩguo ũhumbĩre thoni cia njaga yaku, na ũgũre ndawa wĩhake maitho maku, nĩguo ũhote kuona.
I counsel yoʋ to buy from me gold refined by fire so that yoʋ may be rich, and white garments so that yoʋ may clothe yoʋrself and the shame of yoʋr nakedness may not be revealed, and eye salve to anoint yoʋr eyes so that yoʋ may see.
19 Arĩa nyendete nĩndĩmarũithagia na ngamaherithia. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gĩa na kĩyo, na wĩrire.
Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline. Therefore be zealous and repent.
20 Atĩrĩrĩ, ndũgamĩte mũrango-inĩ ngĩũringaringa. Mũndũ o wothe angĩigua mũgambo wakwa, na ahingũre mũrango, nĩngũtoonya thĩinĩ ndĩĩanĩre irio nake, nake arĩĩanĩre na niĩ.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me.
21 Ũrĩa ũgaatoorania-rĩ, nĩngamwĩtĩkĩria aikare hamwe na niĩ gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩakwa kĩa ũnene, o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndatooranirie na ngĩikaranĩra hamwe na Baba gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene.
To him who overcomes I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 Ũrĩa ũrĩ gũtũ-rĩ, nĩakĩigue ũrĩa Roho areera makanitha.”
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’”
