1 Uñolele Iñiloi lye Keleke ya Sardis: Aa njimanzwi ozo yokwatilile inhuho za Ireeza zikwana iyaza ni zobele ni inkazi zikwana iyanza ni zobele. “Nizi zimubapangi. Mwina intohonolo kusihala, kono mufwile.
“And to the messenger of the church in Sardis write: “These things says He who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: ‘I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, yet you are dead.
2 Mubuke imi mutondele chishalile, kono nangati chikufwile, chokuti kena nibawani misebelezo yenu ishiyeme mumenso ya Ireeza wangu.
Wake up! And strengthen the remaining things that you were about to throw away, for I have not found your works to be fulfilled before my God.
3 Muzeze, chobulyo, izo zimubatambuli ni kuzuwa. Muzikuteke, ni kubaka, Kono haiba kamutondete, Kanikeze sina ubumusa, imi kese nimwizibe ni haiba ihola yete ninikeze kwenu nini misandukile.
So remember how you have received and heard, and hold fast and repent; because if you do not watch, I will come upon you like a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.
4 Kono kwina mazina alikene abantu ba Sardis abo basena baba izuzi zizwato zabo masila. Kabaka buyenda name, nibazwete zituba, kakuti baswanela.
“‘But you do have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
5 Uzo yokoma kazwatikwe muzizabalo zituba, imi kanikafwe kusinda izina lyakwe mwi Mbuka ya Buhalo, imi kanikawambe izina likwe habuzu bwa Tayo, ni habuzu mbwa mañiloi akwe.
The one who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not erase his name from the Book of Life, and I will confess his name before my Father and before His angels.’
6 Musiye abo bena matwi bazuwe chiwambwa Luhuho Kwi Keleke.
“He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
7 Uñolele iñiloi lye Keleke ya Philadelphia: Aa njimanzwi ozo yo njolola ni buniti —ukwatilile inkiyi za Davida, wi yalwila imi kakwina wiyala, heyala imi kakusina wiyala.
“And to the messenger of the church in Philadelphia write: “These things says the Holy, the True, He who has the key of David, who opens and no one can shut it, except He who opens, and no one can open:
8 “Nizi zimubapangi. Mubone, Nibabiki habusu bwene mulyango wiyalukite kutendela kuti kakwina yowola kuwiyala. Nizi kuti mwina intumelo zifokola, chokuti mubazumini manzwi imi kena mubakani izina lyangu.
‘I know your works. Look, I have set before you an open door, that no one is able to shut; because you have a little strength and have kept my Word and have not denied my name.
9 Mubone! Abo bahala mumubuso wa Satani, ano bachokuti Majuda abo nibasali njimona, bachenga chobulyo. Kanibalete imi kabakubame habusu bwamatende enu, imi kabezibe kuti niba misuni.
See, I am determining that some of the synagogue of Satan, those who claim to be Jews and are not, but are lying—yes, I will cause them to come, and to do obeisance at your feet and to know that I have loved you.
10 Sina hamubawoli kubeka intaelo ya kulindila inako inde, kaniwole kumisileleza kwinako ya kulikiwa kukeza mwifasi.
Because you have kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of the testing that is about to come upon the whole inhabited earth, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11 Nikezite lyahahanu. Mukwatlile kuzi mukwete sanzi kuwaniki yohinda mishukwe yenu.
“‘I am coming swiftly. Hold fast what you have so that no one may take your crown.
12 Munibike uzo chatakome kuba mushukwe mukeleke ya Ireeza, imi kakafwe kuzwa mwateni. Kaniwole kuñola hali izina lya Ireeza wangu, izina lya muleneñi wa Ireeza wangu(Jerusalema inhya, kuzwililila kwe Ireeza wangu), ni zina lyangu inhya.
The one who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never again go out. And I will write on him the name of my God, the name of my God's city—the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God—and my new name.’
13 Musiye abo bena matwi akuzuwa chiluwamba Luhuho kwi Keleke.””
“He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
14 Kumañiloi ekeleke ya Laodisea ñole: Aa njimanzwi a Amen, bupaki busepahala ni bweniti, buyendisa zibumbantu ze Ireeza.
“And to the messenger of the church in Laodicea write: “These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the Originator of God's creation:
15 Nizi zimubachiti, nikuti kamutotoli kapa kuhisa. Nilakaza kuti kambe mutotola kapa kuhisa.
‘I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.
16 Imi linu, kakuli mutukuta —kapa kuhisa kapa kutotola —Chinina hafuhi kuti nimiluke kumuzwisa mukaholo kangu.
So then, since you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to vomit you out of my mouth.
17 Mukuti muchokuti, 'Ni fumite, Nina bungi bwa masila amushobo shobo, imi kakwina zinisuna.' Kono kawizi kuti muziyelehete, mufwisa inse, mubahumanehi, muzihofu imi mwina mapunu.
Because you say, “I am rich, even become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and do not realize that you are the most wretched—yes, the most pitiable and poor and blind and naked—
18 Tekeleze kukelezo yangu: Muwule kwangu Igauda ijolwezwe ni mulilo kokuti mube mubafumi, imi chizabalo chituba hahulu kutendela kuti mulubwike imi ketimutondeze kuswabisa kwamapunu enu, imi ulichuke musamu mumenso kuti ubone.
I counsel you to buy gold from me, refined by fire, so that you may become rich; and white garments, so that you may be clothed, and your nakedness not be shamefully exposed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, so that you may see.
19 Ni bakanya zumwi ni zumwi unisuna, imi ni ruta umo mubaswanela kuhalila. Chobulyo, mube basepahala ni kubaka.
As many as I love I rebuke and discipline; so be zealous and repent!
20 Mubone, Nizimene hamulyango imi nikwete kungongota. Haiba zumwi nazuwa inzwi lyangu imi neyalula mulyango, munize kwizubo yakwe imi munize nilye naye, imi naye mwalye name.
“‘Now then, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone should hear my voice and open the door, I really will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
21 Uzo yokonka, munimuhe maata akwikala name hachipulo chabusimwine, sina name hanibawoli kukoma imi nikele ni ba Tayo hachipula chabo.
To the one who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on His throne.’
22 Musiye abo bene matwi bazuwe ziluwamba Luhuho kwi Keleke.
“He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”
