Ufunuo 3
1 Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Sardi jhandikayi: 'Malobhi gha jhola jhaikamulila sela roho saba sya K'yara ni matondo saba. “Nimanyili kya ubhombili. Ujhe ni sifa jha kujha hai, lakini ghwe mfu.
And to the angel of the church in Sardis say: These things says he who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: I have knowledge of your works, that you seem to be living but are dead.
2 Jhumukayi ni kuimarisya ghaghasiele, lakini ghajhe karibu kufwa, kwandabha naghabhwene lepi matendo gha jhobhi ghakamiliki pa mihu pa K'yara ghwangu.
Be on the watch, and make strong the rest of the things which are near to death; because as judged by me your works have not come up to God's measure.
3 Kwa hiyo, khombokayi ghala ghaughapokili ni kup'eleka. Ghatiajhi ni kutubu. Lakini ukabelayi kujhumuka, nibeta kuhida kama mmeji na wibeta lepi kumanya saa jheleku jhanibetakuhida panani pa bhebhe.
Keep in mind, then, the teaching which was given to you, and be ruled by it and have a change of heart. If then you do not keep watch, I will come like a thief, and you will have no knowledge of the hour when I will come on you.
4 Lakini ghajhele mahina madebe gha bhanu mu Sardi ambabho bhachafwilepi nghobho sya bhene. Bhibeta kugenda pamonga ni nene bhafwalili nghobho sibhalafu, kwandabha bhakastahili.
But you have some names in Sardis who have kept clean their robes; and as a reward they will go in white with me.
5 Muene jhaibeta kushinda ibeta kufwatikibhwa maguanda mabhalafu, ni kamwe nikalifutalepi lihina lya muene kuhoma mu kitabu kya uzima, na nibetakulitaja lihina lya muene palongolo pa Dadi jhangu, ni palongolo pa malaika.
He who overcomes will be dressed in white, and I will not take his name from the book of life, and I will give witness to his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Ukajhelayi ni mb'olokoto pelekesiajhi Roho kya akaghajobhela makanisa.”
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
7 “Kwa malaika bha kanisa lya Philadefia jhandikayi: Malobhi gha ajhele mtakatifu ni kweli - jhaajhe ni fungulu sya Daudi, ifungana ijhelepi ghwa kudendula, ifunga na ajhelepi jhaibhwesya kudendula.
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia say: These things says he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, opening the door so that it may be shut by no one, and shutting it so that it may be open to no one.
8 Nimanyili gha ukhetili. Langayi, nikubhokili palongolo pa jhobhi ndiangu bhwabhudendulibhu ambabho ajhelepi jha ibhwesya kubhudendula. Nimanyili ujhe ni nghofu kidogo, lakini ulijhedekili lilobhi lyangu na ulibelililepi lihina lya nene.
I have knowledge of your works (see, I have put before you an open door which may be shut by no one), and that you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have been true to my name.
9 Langayi! Bhoha bhabhajhele bha sinagogi lya syetani, ni bhala bhabhijobha bhene Bhayahudi na kumbe lepi, bhadala jhiake bhikofya. Nibetakubhafwanya bhahidayi ni kusujudu palongolo pa magolo gha jhobhi, na bhibetamanya jha kujha nikuganili.
See, I will make those of the Synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and are not, but say what is false; I will make them come and give worship before your feet, and see my love for you.
10 Kwandabha utunzili amri jhangu kwa uvumilivu bhwa uthabiti, nibetakulenda kabhele mu saa jha jhobhi jha kujaribibhwa ambajho jhihida mu ulimwengu bhuoha, kubhajaribu bhala bhoha bhabhiishi mu nchi.
Because you have kept my word in quiet strength, I will keep you from the hour of testing which is coming on all the world, to put to the test those who are on earth.
11 Nihida manyata kikamulilayi sana khela kya ujhe naku ili asijhi munu ghwa kutola taji jha bhebhe.
I come quickly: keep that which you have, so that no one may take your crown.
12 Nibetakheta muene ashindayi mu nguzo mu hekalu jha K'yara ghwangu, na ibetalepi kupita kwibhala kamwe. Nibetakulilemba lihina lya K'yara ghwangu (Yerusalemu mpya, jhaghwiselela pasi kuhoma kumbinguni kwa K'yara ghwangu), ni lihina lya nene lipya.
Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the house of my God, and he will go out no more: and I will put on him the name of my God, and the name of the town of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.
13 Muenga jha ajhele ni mbol'okoto, na apelekayi khela ambakyo Roho ijobha kwa makanisa.'
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
14 “Kwa malaika bha likanisa lya Laodikia jhandikayi: 'Malobhi gha muene jha amini, bhakutegemilibhwa ni shahidi mwaminifu, mtabhwala panani pa bhwa K'yara.
And to the angel of the church in Laodicea say: These things says the true and certain witness, the head of God's new order:
15 Nimanyili kyaukhetili, ni kujha bhebhe ghwe mepu lepi wala muoto, ninogheleghe kujha ngaujhele ghwa mepu au muoto!
I have knowledge of your works, that you are not cold or warm: it would be better if you were cold or warm.
16 Efyo, kwandabha bhebhe ndo vuguvugu, ghwa muoto lepi wala ghwen'sisimu, nibeta kufunya upitayi mu ndomo mwa nene.
So because you are not one thing or the other, I will have no more to do with you.
17 Kukujha wijobha, “Nene ne tajiri, nijhele ni mali simehele, na nilonda lepi kyokyoha.” Lakini umanyililepi kujha bhebhe ghwe duni sana, ghwakuhuzunikibhwa, maskini, kipofu ni ngoli.
For you say, I have wealth, and have got together goods and land, and have need of nothing; and you are not conscious of your sad and unhappy condition, that you are poor and blind and without clothing.
18 Pelekesiajhi ushauri bhwa nene: Hemelayi kwa nene dhahabu jhajhisukibhu kwa muoto ili abhwesiajhi kujha tajiri, ni nghobho sibhalafu sya kumelemele ili ukifwekayi ghwe muene na usilasi soni jha ngoli jha jhobhi, ni mafuta gha kubakala mu mihu gha jhobhi ghabhwesiajhi kulola.
If you are wise you will get from me gold tested by fire, so that you may have true wealth; and white robes to put on, so that your shame may not be seen; and oil for your eyes, so that you may see.
19 Khila jhanin'ganili, nikanjelekesya ni kubhafundisya namna jhajhilondeka kutama; henu, jhelayi ghwa mkweli ni kutubu.
To all those who are dear to me, I give sharp words and punishment: then with all your heart have sorrow for your evil ways.
20 Langayi nijhema pandiangu ni kuhodisya. Jhejhioha jha ipelekayi sauti jha nene ni kudendula ndiangu, nibeta kuhida ni kujhingila munyumba jha muene ni kulya kyakulya pamonga ni muene ni muene pamonga ni nene.
See, I am waiting at the door and giving the sign; if my voice comes to any man's ears and he makes the door open, I will come in to him, and will take food with him and he with me.
21 Muene jhaishinda, nibeta kumpela haki jha kutama pasi pamonga ni nene nani panani pa kiti kyangu kya enzi, Kama vile nene kyanishindili ni kutama pasi ni Dadi jhangu panani pa kiti kya enzi.
To him who overcomes I will give a place with me on my high seat, even as I overcame, and am seated with my Father on his high seat.
22 Muene jha ajhele ni mbol'okoto, na apelekesiajhi ambakyo Roho ikaghajobhela makanisa.”
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
