Mkpughe 3
1 “Dee akwụkwọ nye mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ dị na Sardis, sị ya: Ndị a bụ okwu onye ahụ nwere mmụọ asaa nke Chineke na kpakpando asaa. Amaara m ọrụ gị niile, ị nwere aha dịka onye dị ndụ ma ị bụ onye nwụrụ anwụ.
And to the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and thou art dead.
2 Ugbu a, sị nʼụra bilite. Mee ka ihe ntakịrị ahụ fọdụrụ na-achọ ịnwụ anwụ dịrị ike. Nʼihi na ọ dịghị ọrụ gị m hụrụ dị ka ihe zuruoke nʼanya Chineke m.
Be thou watchful, and stablish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine fulfilled before my God.
3 Ya mere, cheta ihe ndị ahụ ị natara na nke ị nụrụ; rube isi nye ya, chegharịakwa. Ma ọ bụrụ na i tetaghị, aga m abịakwute gị dị ka onye ohi, ị gaghị amatakwa oge m ji bịakwute gị.
Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear; and keep [it], and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Otu ọ dị, i nwere ụfọdụ mmadụ na Sardis ndị na-emerụbeghị uwe ha. Ha ga-eyiri uwe ọcha ma soro m jee ije nʼihi na ha bụ ndị kwesiri ekwesi.
But thou hast a few names in Sardis which did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy.
5 Onye ọbụla na-emeri emeri, ka a ga-eyikwasị uwe mwụda ọcha dịka ha. Agaghị m ehichapụ aha ya site nʼakwụkwọ nke ndụ ahụ, kama aga m ekwupụtakwa aha ahụ nʼihu Nna m na nʼihu ndị mmụọ ozi niile.
He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Onye ọbụla nwere ntị, ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ nsọ na-agwa nzukọ niile.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
7 “Dee akwụkwọ nye mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ dị na Filadelfia, sị ya: Ndị a bụ okwu onye dị nsọ na onye eziokwu, onye ahụ ji ọtụghe igodo Devid, nke o ji emeghepụ ihe onye ọbụla na-apụghị imechi, na nke o ji emechi ihe onye ọbụla na-apụghị imeghe.
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and none shall shut, and that shutteth, and none openeth:
8 Amaara m ọrụ gị niile. Lee, edebela m nʼihu gị ọnụ ụzọ nke e meghere emeghe, nke onye ọbụla na-apụghị imechi. Amaara m na i nwere ike dị ntakịrị, ma i debere okwu m, ị gọnarịkwaghị aha m.
I know thy works (behold, I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut), that thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name.
9 Aga m eme ka ndị ahụ so na nzukọ ekwensu, bụ ndị na-asị na ha bụ ndị Juu ma ha abụghị, kama ha bụ ndị ụgha, aga m eme ka ha bịa kpọọ isiala nye gị, si otu a ghọta na ahụrụ m gị nʼanya.
Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of them which say they are Jews, and they are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Ebe i sitere na ntachiobi sọpụrụ okwu m niile, aga m ekpuchi gị site nʼoke mkpagbu ahụ, nke ga-abịakwasị ụwa mgbe a ga-anwale ndị niile bi nʼime ya.
Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that [hour] which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Ana m abịa ọsịịsọ. Jidesienụ ihe unu nwere aka ike, ka onye ọbụla ghara ịnapụ gị okpueze gị.
I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown.
12 Ma onye ọbụla na-emeri emeri, ka m ga-eme ka ọ bụrụ ogidi nʼime ụlọnsọ Chineke m. Ọ gaghị esikwa nʼebe ahụ pụọ apụọ. Aga m edekwasịkwa aha Chineke m nʼahụ, na aha obodo nsọ Chineke, nke bụ Jerusalem ọhụrụ ahụ si nʼeluigwe, ebe Chineke nọ na-arịdata. Aha ọhụrụ m ka a ga-edekwasịkwa nʼihu ya.
He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence 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 cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name.
13 Onye ọbụla nwere ntị, ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ Nsọ na-agwa nzukọ niile.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
14 “Dee akwụkwọ nye mmụọ ozi ụlọ nzukọ dị na Laodisia, sị ya: Ndị a bụ okwu Amen, onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, na onye bụ ezi onyeama, bụrụkwa isi mmalite ihe niile Chineke kere.
And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:
15 Amaara m ọrụ gị niile, na ị jụghị oyi, i kpoghịkwa ọkụ. Ọ gaara adị nnọọ mma ma asị na ị na-ajụ oyi ma ọ bụkwanụ na-ekpo ọkụ.
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 Nʼihi nke a, ebe ị na-ajụghị oyi, i kpoghịkwa ọkụ, ihe ị dị bụ ṅaraṅara. Nʼihi ya, aga m esi nʼọnụ m gbụpụ gị.
So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
17 Nʼihi na ị na-asị, ‘abụ m ọgaranya, nwezuo ihe niile. Mkpa ihe ọbụla akpakwaghị m.’ Ma ị ghọtaghị na onye gba aka ka ị bụ. Ị bụ onye e kwesiri imere ebere. Ị bụkwa ogbenye na onye kpuru ìsì na onye gba ọtọ.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked:
18 Ana m adụ gị ọdụ ka ịzụta ezigbo ọlaedo nʼaka m, bụ ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha nʼime ọkụ. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-abụkwa ọgaranya nʼezie. Ị gaara esitekwa nʼaka m zụta akwa ọcha na-enweghị ntụpọ ka ị ghara ịgba ọtọ, ka ihere gharakwa ime gị. Ka ị zụrụkwa ezigbo ọgwụ ọrịa anya tee, ka ibido ịhụ ụzọ nke ọma.
I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.
19 Ndị m hụrụ nʼanya ka m na-abara mba na-enyekwa ha ahụhụ. Ya mere, nwee ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi, chegharịakwa.
As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Lee, ana m eguzo nʼọnụ ụzọ na-akụ aka. Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla anụ olu m ma meghee ụzọ, aga m abata soro ya rikọọ ihe, ya onwe ya ga-esokwa m rie ihe.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 Onye ọbụla na-emeri emeri, ka mụ ga-enye ikike ka o soro m nọdụ nʼocheeze m. Ọ bụladị dịka m meriri sorokwa Nna m nọdụ nʼocheeze ya.
He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.
22 Onye nwere ntị, ya nụrụ ihe Mmụọ Nsọ na-agwa nzukọ niile.”
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
