< 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 write; These things says he that has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and 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 watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect before God.
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.
Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour 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.
You have a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
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 that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Ukajhelayi ni mb'olokoto pelekesiajhi Roho kya akaghajobhela makanisa.”
He that has an ear, let him hear 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 write; These things says he that is holy, he that is true, he that has the key of David, he that opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens;
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 know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: for you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have not denied 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.
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved 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 the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come on all the world, to try them that dwell on the earth.
11 Nihida manyata kikamulilayi sana khela kya ujhe naku ili asijhi munu ghwa kutola taji jha bhebhe.
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man 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 that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will write on him my new name.
13 Muenga jha ajhele ni mbol'okoto, na apelekayi khela ambakyo Roho ijobha kwa makanisa.'
He that has an ear, let him hear 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 of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 Nimanyili kyaukhetili, ni kujha bhebhe ghwe mepu lepi wala muoto, ninogheleghe kujha ngaujhele ghwa mepu au muoto!
I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.
16 Efyo, kwandabha bhebhe ndo vuguvugu, ghwa muoto lepi wala ghwen'sisimu, nibeta kufunya upitayi mu ndomo mwa nene.
So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.
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.
Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
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.
I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
19 Khila jhanin'ganili, nikanjelekesya ni kubhafundisya namna jhajhilondeka kutama; henu, jhelayi ghwa mkweli ni kutubu.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
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.
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 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 that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 Muene jha ajhele ni mbol'okoto, na apelekesiajhi ambakyo Roho ikaghajobhela makanisa.”
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
