Mi Dɔgdima 3

1 Diani ki teni Sardisi Kiristi jaancagli maleki: Yua n kubi U Tienu malekinba lele yeni ŋmaabila lele lanbona n ne: “N bani ŋan tieni yaali. A yeli doni ke a fo, ama, a kpe o.

AND to the angel who is in Sardis write: These saith he who hath the seven Spirits of Aloha, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that a name thou hast that thou livest, and thou art dead.

2 Findi ki paagi yaali n sieni ki caa mi kuuma po, Kelima n naa la a tuonŋana N Tienu nintuali.

Awake, and keep those things which remain, which are about to die; for I have not found thy works complete before my God.

3 Lanwani ii, ŋan ya tiani ŋan ga yaali yeni ŋan gbadi yaali. Ya cɔlni li, ki tuubi. Ama a ya ki findi, n ba cua a kani nani suuro yeni, a kan bandi min ba cua ya yognu ki woli a.

Remember then how thou hast received, and hearken, and keep, and repent. And if then thou wilt not awake, I will come against thee as the thief, and thou shalt not know in what hour I come against thee.

4 Ama, bi niba ye waamu Sardi dogu nni, bani ki jɔgni bi tialakaadi. Banwani ba la ti tiapiendi, ki cuoni yeni nni, kelima bi dagdi yeni li.

But thou hast a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their vestments; and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.

5 Ya nilo n kɔni mi jama, ki paadi, o ba la ti tiapiendi, N kan piini wanya yeli li miali tili nni, n go ba taa o yeli n Báa yeni o malekinba nintuali.

He who overcometh shall be clothed in white vestments, and I will not blot their name from the book of life; and I will confess their name before my Father, and before his angels.

6 Yua n pia tubli wan cengi Foŋanma ń maadi Kiristi jaancaga yaali.” “

He who hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

7 “Diani ki teni Filadelfi Kiristi jaancagli: Yua ŋani, ki go tie o mɔmɔnmaano lanbona n ne - o kubi Dafidi dieluodpiemi, o ya luodi obakuli kan fidi ki luoni, o ya luon i, obakuli kan fidi ki luodi.

And to the angel of the church which is in Philadelphia write: These saith the Holy, the True, who hath the key of David; who openeth and no man shutteth, and who shutteth and no man openeth.

8 “N bani ŋan tieni yaali. Diidi! N luodi a po ya bulñɔbu ke nilo bakuli kan fidi ki luoni. N bani ke a pia mi tuama waamu, yeni lankuli, a cɔlni n ñɔmaama, kaa yedi ke a ki bani nni.

I know thy works; and, behold, I have given before thee an open door, which no man can shut; because thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

9 Diidi! Yaaba n tie Sutaani budieli yaaba, yaaba n yedi ke bi tie Juufinba, ki naa tie ba; bi pua faama i. N ba cedi ban cua ki gbaani a nunga nni, lani ke bi ba bandi ke n bua ŋa

Behold, I will give of the synagogue of Satana, who say that they are Jihudoyee, and are not, but lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and they shall know that I have loved thee.

10 Nnli ŋan cɔlni n ñɔmaama, ki juuni ki ga fala, N mo baa kubi a ki guudi a mi biigma yognu, ya biginli n kpendi ŋanduna kuli po, ki ba bigni yaaba n ye ki tinga po.

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which is to come upon all the habitable world, to try them who dwell upon the earth.

11 N kpendi, li kan waagi. ŋan ŋanbi ki kubi ŋan pia yaali nilo bakuli ń da ti fie a badfegliga.

I come quickly. Hold that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

12 Yua n kɔni mi jama, ki paadi, n ba seni o nani jaantalga yeni n Tienu jaandiegu nni, o baa tundi ki ye lankani kaa pia ñama. N ba diani o po n Tienu yeli, n Tienu dociamu yeli (Jeruselema paano yua n ñani n Tienu kani, o diema nni ki jiidi), yeni n yepaanli.

Him who overcometh I will make a column 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 of Urishlem the new, which descendeth from heaven from my God, and my new name.

13 Yua n pia tubli wan cengi Foŋanma ń maadi Kiristi jaancagaa yaali.” “

He who hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

14 “Diani ki teni Lawodise Kiristi jaancagli maleki: 'Yua n tie Ami, o kasiedidugika, o mɔmɔndaano, yua n die U Tienu tagma kuli.

And to the angel of the church which is in Ladikia write: These saith the Amen, the Witness, the faithful, the true, the Head of the creation of Aloha.

15 “N bani a tuona kuli, ke ŋaa tuoni, a naa go sɔngi mo. N bi sugni ke ŋan ya sɔngi bii ŋan ya tuoni!

I know thy works, that thou art neither hot nor cold. Would that thou wast cold or hot!

16 Lanwani ii, nani ŋan balgi yeni - ŋaa tuoni, kaa go sɔngi mo yeni - N ba siini ki ñani a n ñɔbu nni.

So, because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit thee from my mouth.

17 Kelima a yedi, 'N tie piado i, N den pia ŋalmani boncianla, n ji ki pia bonli kuli buama.' Ama ŋaa bani ke fini n ŋanbi ki tie cacagdaano, ban jie yua mi niñima, luodo, juamo, ki ye mubima (niiyanli).

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have become opulent, and of nothing have need; and knowest not that thou art infirm, and miserable, and needy, and blind, and naked;

18 Cengi n cegli: ŋan daa n kani ban tongi ki duadi ya wula, ki tua piado, yeni ya tialakaadi n pieni ki ñilgi, ki la ki wuoni a mubili fee, daa mi kpama, ki sɔgi a nuni, ki fidi ya nua.

I counsel thee to buy of me gold, proved by fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and the shame of thy nakedness be not seen; and lave with collyrium thine eyes, that thou mayest see.

19 N tundi ki go bangi min bua yaaba, ki bangi ba ban baa ye maama. Lanwani ii, ŋan baa mi yama, ki tuubi.

All those whom I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Diidi! N se bu bulñɔbu kani, ki kuogi. Yua n gbadi n nialu, ki luodi li ganli, n ba kua o deni, ki di yeni o, wan di yeni nni.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and will open the door, I will enter unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 Yua n kɔni mi jama ki paadi, n ba puni o u sanu, wan kali yeni nni n badigbandi po, nani min kɔni mi jama ki paadi, ki kaa yeni n Báa o badigbandi po yeni.

And to him who overcometh I will give to sit with me upon my throne, as also I have overcome, and have sat with my Father in his throne.

22 Yua pia tubli wan cengi Foŋanma ń maadi Kiristi jaancaga yaali.” “

He who hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
