Revelasyon 3
1 “A zanj legliz nan Sardes la, ekri: Sila ki gen sèt Lespri Bondye ak sèt zetwal yo, di sa a: Mwen konnen zèv nou yo, ke nou gen repitasyon ke nou vivan, men nou mouri.
And to the angel of the church in Sardis write; The one having the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars, says these things; I know your works, that you have a name that you are living, and are dead.
2 Reveye nou, e ranfòse bagay ki rete yo, ke ou te prèt pou jete deyò; paske Mwen pa twouve zèv nou yo konplè nan zye Bondye.
Be you watchful, and strengthen the remaining things, which are about to die. For I have not found your works perfect before my God.
3 Donk, sonje sa nou te resevwa e tande a. Kenbe l e repanti. Konsa, si nou pa reveye nou, Mwen va vini tankou yon vòlè, e nou p ap konnen a kilè Mwen va vini sou nou an.
Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If you do not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.
4 “Men nou gen kèk moun nan Sardes ki pa t sal vètman yo. Yo va mache avèk Mwen abiye an blan, paske yo dign de sa.
But you have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: because they are worthy.
5 “Sila ki vin venkè a va abiye konsa, an vètman blan. Mwen p ap janm efase non li nan liv lavi a, e Mwen va konfese non li devan Papa M ak devan zanj Li yo.
The one conquering shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not blot out his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and in the presence of his angels.
6 Sila ki gen yon zòrèy, kite l tande sa Lespri a di a legliz yo.
Let the one having ears hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
7 “A zanj legliz nan Philadelphie a, ekri: Sila ki sen an, ki vrè a, ki gen kle David la, k ap louvri pou pèsòn p ap ka fèmen l, e ki fèmen pou pèsòn p ap ka louvri a, di konsa:
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; The holy, true one, the one having the key of David, the one opening, and no one shall shut; and the one shutting, and no one shall open; says these things.
8 Mwen konnen zèv nou yo. Gade byen, Mwen mete devan nou yon pòt louvri ke pèsòn pa kab fèmen, paske nou gen yon ti pouvwa, epi nou te kenbe pawòl Mwen, e pa t nye non Mwen.
I know your works; behold, I have given before you an open door, which no one is able to shut: and you have a little power, and you have kept my word, and not denied my name.
9 Gade byen, Mwen va koze sila ki nan sinagòg Satan yo, ki di ke yo se Jwif, men ki pa sa a, kap manti—Mwen va fè yo vin bese nan pye nou, e fè yo konnen ke Mwen renmen nou.
Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are lying; behold, I will make them that they shall come and worship before thy feet, and may know that I have loved thee with divine love.
10 “Paske nou kenbe pawòl pèseverans Mwen an, Mwen va kenbe nou osi nan lè eprèv la, lè ki prèt pou vini sou tout mond lan pou pase a leprèv tout sila ki rete sou latè yo.
Because you have kept the word of my patience, and I will keep you from the hour of temptation, which is about to come upon the whole world, to try those dwelling upon the earth.
11 “Mwen ap vini vit! Kenbe fèm a sa nou genyen an, jis pou pèsòn pa rache kouwòn nou an.
I am coming quickly: hold fast that which you have, that no one may take your crown.
12 “Sila ki venkè a, Mwen va fè li vin yon pilye nan tanp a Bondye Mwen an. Konsa, li p ap sòti deyò ankò, e Mwen va ekri sou li non a Bondye Mwen an, ak non a gran vil Bondye Mwen an, Jérusalem tounèf la, ki desann soti nan syèl, de Bondye Mwen, avèk non tounèf Mwen an.
The one conquering, I will make him a pillar 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 the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God: and my new name.
13 “Sila ki gen yon zòrèy la, kite li tande sa Lespri a di a legliz yo”.
Let the one having ears, hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
14 “A zanj legliz nan Laodicée a, ekri: Amen lan, Fidèl e Vrè Temwen lan, Kòmansman kreyasyon Bondye la, di konsa:
And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write; The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God, says these things;
15 Mwen konnen zèv nou yo, ke nou pa ni frèt ni cho. Mwen ta pito ke nou te frèt oswa cho.
I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were either cold or hot.
16 “Donk, paske nou tyèd, e nou pa cho ni frèt, Mwen va krache nou sòti nan bouch Mwen.
Thus because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to spew you out of my mouth.
17 Paske nou di: “Mwen rich! Mwen gen tan ranmase yon fòtin, e mwen pa bezwen anyen”; men nou pa konnen ke nou se malere, mizerab, pòv, avèg, e toutouni.
Because you are saying, That I am rich, and have increased in riches, and have need as to nothing, and do you not know that you are miserable, and pitiful, and poor, and blind, and naked?
18 “Konsa, mwen konseye nou achte nan men Mwen lò ki rafine nan dife pou nou kapab vin rich, e vètman blan pou mete sou nou pou wont toutouni nou an pa vin parèt; ak pomad zye pou nou pase nan zye nou pou nou kapab vin wè.
I counsel you to buy from me gold which has been purified by the fire, in order that you may be rich; and white garments, in order that you may be clothed, and the shame of your nakedness may not be exposed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.
19 “Sila ke M renmen yo, Mwen reprimande e disipline yo. Konsa, se pou nou vin plen ak zèl, e repanti.
So many as I love, I rebuke and chastise; be zealous, and repent.
20 “Gade byen, Mwen kanpe nan pòt la e Mwen frape. Si yon moun tande vwa M, e ouvri pòt la, Mwen va antre kote li, Mwen va dine avè l, e li menm avè M.
Behold, I stand at the door, and am knocking: if any one may hear my voice, and may open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 “Sila ki venkè a, Mwen va lèse l vin chita avè M sou twòn Mwen an, jan Mwen menm tou te vin venkè a, e te vin chita avèk Papa M sou twòn Li an.
The one conquering, I will give unto him to sit with me on my throne, as I indeed have conquered, and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 “Sila ki gen yon zòrèy la, kite li tande sa Lespri a di a legliz yo”.
Let the one having ears hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
