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: "He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these things: "I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you 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.
Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which were about to die, for I have found no works of yours 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.
Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you do not wake up, I will come as a thief, and you won't know what hour I will come to 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.
Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments. They will 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 will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the Book of Life, and I will confess 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.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Rukha says to the congregations.
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:
"To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: "These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, he who has the key of Dawid, he who opens and no one can 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. Look, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have a little power, and kept my word, and did not deny 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.
Look, I give of the synagogue of Satana, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie; look, I will make them to come and worship 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 kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, which is to come on the whole world, 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 firmly that which you have, so that no one takes 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 who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Urishlim, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
13 “Sila ki gen yon zòrèy la, kite li tande sa Lespri a di a legliz yo”.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Rukha says to the congregations.
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: "The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God's creation, 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 wish you were cold or hot.
16 “Donk, paske nou tyèd, e nou pa cho ni frèt, Mwen va krache nou sòti nan bouch Mwen.
So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit 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 say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;' and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, 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 refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to put on 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.
As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. Be zealous therefore, 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.
Look, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine 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.
He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, 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”.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Rukha says to the congregations."
