Okubikkulirwa 3
1 “Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Saadi wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo alina emyoyo omusanvu egya Katonda n’emmunyeenye omusanvu nti, Mmanyi ebikolwa byo, ng’olina erinnya eriraga nti oli mulamu so nga oli mufu.
And by the messenger of the congregation 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 live, but are dead.
2 Kale weegendereze onyweze ebikyasigaddewo ebitannafa. Kubanga mu by’okola sinnalabamu by’otuukiriza mu maaso ga Katonda wange.
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, which are ready to die: for I have not found your works filled up in the sight of God.
3 Kale jjukira bye wayigirizibwa ne bye wawulira obikwate era weenenye. Bw’otegendereze ndijja mangu ng’omubbi, so tolimanya ssaawa gye ndijjiramu gy’oli.
Remember, therefore, how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and reform: therefore, unless you are watchful, I will come upon you as thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.
4 Naye waliwo abamu mu Saadi abatonotono abatayonoonanga byambalo byabwe, balitambula nange nga bambadde engoye enjeru, kubanga basaanidde.
But you have a few names in Sardis, who have not polluted their garments: and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
5 Na buli awangula alyambazibwa engoye enjeru nga bali, era sirisangula linnya lye mu kitabo ky’obulamu, naye ndyatula erinnya lye mu maaso ga Kitange ne bamalayika be nti oyo muntu wange.
As for the conqueror, he shall be clothed in white apparel; and I will not blot out his name from the book of life; but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.
Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
7 “Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Firaderufiya wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo Omutukuvu era ow’amazima era alina ekisumuluzo kya Dawudi aggulawo ne wataba aggalawo, n’okuggalawo ne wataba aggulawo.
And by the messenger of the congregation in Philadelphia, write: These things says the Holy One, the True One; who has the key, the Son of David; he who opens and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens:
8 Mmanyi ebikolwa byo. Laba nkugguliddewo oluggi, omuntu yenna lw’atayinza kuggala; kubanga olina amaanyi matono, okuumye ekigambo kyange n’oteegaana linnya lyange,
I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it; because you have little strength, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name.
9 laba nnyinza okuwaayo abamu ku abo ab’omu kuŋŋaaniro lya Setaani abeeyita Abayudaaya; laba ndibaleeta okuvuunama ku bigere byammwe bategeere nti mbaagala.
Behold, I will give of those--who are of the assembly of Satan; who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold--I will make them to come and worship before your feet; and they shall know that I have loved you.
10 Olwokubanga wakwata ekigambo kyange eky’okugumiikiriza, nange ndikuwonya ekiseera eky’okugezesebwa ekinaatera okujja.
Because you have kept the word of my patience, I will also keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try the inhabitants of the earth.
11 Nzija mangu! Nnyweza ky’olina waleme kubaawo akutwalako ngule yo.
I come quickly: keep that which you have, that no man take your crown.
12 Awangula ndimufuula empagi mu Yeekaalu ya Katonda wange, mw’ataliva emirembe gyonna, era ndimuwandiikako erinnya lya Katonda wange, n’erinnya ly’ekibuga kya Katonda wange, Yerusaalemi ekiggya nga kikka okuva mu ggulu eri Katonda wange n’erinnya lyange eriggya.
As for the conqueror, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more: and I will inscribe upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which is to come down from heaven, from my God; and my new name.
13 Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.
Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
14 “Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Lawodikiya wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo Amiina, omujulirwa, omwesigwa, ow’amazima, omukulu w’abaliwo, n’abalibaawo emirembe gyonna, era ensibuko y’ebitonde bya Katonda.
And by the messenger of the congregation in Laodicea, write: These things says the AMEN, the Faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:
15 Mmanyi ebikolwa byo: toyokya so tonnyogoga, nandiyagadde obe ng’oyokya oba ng’onnyogoga.
I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I wish you were either cold or hot.
16 Naye olwokubanga oli wa kibuguumirize toyokya so tonnyogoga, kinaandetera okukuwandula okuva mu kamwa kange.
Therefore, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
17 Olwokubanga ogamba nti, ‘Ndi mugagga era nnina ebintu bingi, sso siriiko kye neetaaga. Sirina kimbulako!’ Sso n’otomanya ng’oli munaku asaasirwa, omwavu, omuzibe w’amaaso era ali obwereere.
Because you say, I am wealthy, and have enriched myself, and have need of nothing; and do not know that you are wreatched and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
18 Nkuwa amagezi onguleko ebya zaabu, eyalongoosebwa mu muliro, olyoke ogaggawale. Era onguleko ebyambalo ebyeru, obyambale, owone ensonyi ez’okuyita obwereere; onguleko n’omuzigo osiige ku maaso go, osobole okulaba.
I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white apparel, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness may not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye-salve, that you may see.
19 Buli gwe njagala mmunenya era mmukangavvula; kale nyiikira okwenenya.
As many as I love, I reprove and correct; therefore, be zealous, and reform.
20 Laba nnyimiridde ku luggi era nkonkona. Buli awulira eddoboozi lyange n’aggulawo, nnaayingira omumwe ne tuliira wamu ffembi.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any one hear my voice, and open the door, I will enter into his house, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 Buli awangula ndimukkiriza okutuula ng’anninaanye, ku ntebe yange ey’obwakabaka, nga nange bwe nawangula ne ntuula ne Kitange ku ntebe ye.
As for the conqueror, I will give him to sit down with me upon my throne; as I also have conquered, and sat down with my Father upon his throne.
22 Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.”
Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
