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.
To the angel of the Church at Sardis, write. These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your works, that you have the name of being alive, but are really 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 continually on the watch, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die. For I have not found your works perfected 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.
Call to mind, then, what you have received and heard, and hold to it, and repent. Unless you are on the watch, I will come as a thief, and you will never know at what hour I am coming 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.
Yet you have a few names in Sardis that have not defiled their garment; and they shall walk with me in white, for 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.
He who overcomes shall thus be clad in white raiment; and I will in no wise blot out his name from the book of life, and I will own his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Sila ki gen yon zòrèy, kite l tande sa Lespri a di a legliz yo.
Let him who has an ear, listen to what the Spirit is saying 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:
Write also to the angel of the Church in Philadelphia. These things says He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens, and no one shall shut; and who shuts, and no one opens.
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. Lo, I have set before you an open door, which none can shut; for though you have only a little strength, you have kept my word, and have 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 am making those of the synagogue of Satan, those who say they are Jews, but are not, but are lying; behold, I will make them to come and bow in reverence before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
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, I also will keep you from that hour of trial which is about to come upon the whole inhabited earth, to test those who dwell on 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 what 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.
He that overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; and he shall go out from it nevermore. 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 from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.
13 “Sila ki gen yon zòrèy la, kite li tande sa Lespri a di a legliz yo”.
He that has an ear, let him listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
14 “A zanj legliz nan Laodicée a, ekri: Amen lan, Fidèl e Vrè Temwen lan, Kòmansman kreyasyon Bondye la, di konsa:
To the angel of the Church in Laodicea, write. These things says the Amen, the witness, faithful and true, the beginning of the creation of God.
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 hot nor cold.
16 “Donk, paske nou tyèd, e nou pa cho ni frèt, Mwen va krache nou sòti nan bouch Mwen.
Would that you were either cold or hot. So 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.
For you keep saying, "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and do not know that you are the wretched one, and pitiable and beggared 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 advise you to buy of me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white raiment to clothe yourself, so that the shame of your nakedness may not be made manifest; and eye-salve to anoint your eyes, in order 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.
All whom I love I reprove and discipline; therefore be full of zeal 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 am standing at the door and knocking! If any one listens to my voice, and opens the door, I will come to him, and 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.
To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit down with me on my throne, as I myself have overcome and have taken my seat with my Father on his throne.
22 “Sila ki gen yon zòrèy la, kite li tande sa Lespri a di a legliz yo”.
Let any one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
