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 to the angel of the in Sardis church do write: These things says the [One] having the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars; I know your deeds that (*k*) characterization you have that you are alive and yet dead you are.

2 Kale weegendereze onyweze ebikyasigaddewo ebitannafa. Kubanga mu by’okola sinnalabamu by’otuukiriza mu maaso ga Katonda wange.

do be watching and do strengthen the [things] that remain which (were about *N(k)(O)*) (to die; *NK(O)*) not for I have found your works completed in the sight of the God (of Mine. *NO*)

3 Kale jjukira bye wayigirizibwa ne bye wawulira obikwate era weenenye. Bw’otegendereze ndijja mangu ng’omubbi, so tolimanya ssaawa gye ndijjiramu gy’oli.

do remember therefore what you have received and heard — and do keep [it] and do repent. If therefore not you shall watch, I will come (upon you *K*) like a thief, and certainly not (you may know *NK(o)*) at 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 *NO*) you have a few people in Sardis who not soiled the garments of them, and they will walk with Me in white, because worthy they are.

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.

The [one] overcoming (thus *N(k)O*) will be clothed in garments white, And certainly not will I blot out the name of him from the book of life and (I will acknowledge *N(k)O*) the name of him before the Father of Mine and before the angels of Him.

6 Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.

The [one] having an ear he should hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

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 to the angel of the in Philadelphia church do write: These things says the Holy [One], the True [One], who is having the key (*k*) of David, who is opening and no [one] (will shut *N(k)O*) (it (only except that which is being open); *O*) and (shutting *N(k)O*) and no [one] (opens; *NK(o)*)

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 deeds. Behold I have set before you a door opened (which *N(K)O*) no [one] is able to shut it; because little you have power and yet you have kept My word and not denied the name of Me.

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 may give *N(k)O*) [those] from the synagogue of Satan — those declaring themselves Jews to be and not are, but they lie — behold I will cause them that (they will come *N(k)O*) and (they will worship *N(k)O*) before the feet of you and they may know that I myself loved you.

10 Olwokubanga wakwata ekigambo kyange eky’okugumiikiriza, nange ndikuwonya ekiseera eky’okugezesebwa ekinaatera okujja.

Because you have kept the word of the patient endurance of Mine, I myself also I myself also you will keep out of the hour of the trial which is being about to come upon the inhabited world whole to try those dwelling upon the earth.

11 Nzija mangu! Nnyweza ky’olina waleme kubaawo akutwalako ngule yo.

(behold *K*) I am coming quickly; do hold fast to what you have, so that no one may take the crown of you.

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.

The [one] overcoming, I will make him a pillar in the temple of the God of Mine, and out certainly not shall he go anymore, And I will write upon him the name of the God of Mine and the name of the city of the God of Mine, the new Jerusalem, which (is descending *NK(o)*) out of heaven from the God of Mine, and the name of Me new.

13 Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.

The [one] having an ear he should hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

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 to the angel of the (in *no*) (Laodicea *N(K)O*) church do write: These things says the Amen, the Witness faithful and (*o*) true, 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 neither cold you are nor hot. I wish cold (you were *N(k)O*) or hot;

16 Naye olwokubanga oli wa kibuguumirize toyokya so tonnyogoga, kinaandetera okukuwandula okuva mu kamwa kange.

So because lukewarm you are and (neither *NK(o)*) hot nor cold, I am about you to spit out of the mouth of Mine,

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.

For you say that Rich I am and I have grown rich and ([of] no [thing] *N(k)O*) need I have, And not do you understand that you yourself are wretched and (*o*) 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 from Me gold refined by fire so that you may be rich, and garments white so that you may be clothed and not may be made manifest the shame of the nakedness of you, and eye-salve (so that *o*) (to anoint *N(k)(O)*) the eyes of you so that you may see.

19 Buli gwe njagala mmunenya era mmukangavvula; kale nyiikira okwenenya.

I myself as many as if shall love I rebuke and discipline. (do be jealous *N(k)O*) therefore and do repent.

20 Laba nnyimiridde ku luggi era nkonkona. Buli awulira eddoboozi lyange n’aggulawo, nnaayingira omumwe ne tuliira wamu ffembi.

Behold I have stood at the door and knock. If anyone shall hear the voice of Mine and shall open the door, (then *no*) I will come in to him and I will dine 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.

The [one] overcoming, I will give to him to sit with Me on the throne of Mine as I myself also I myself also overcame and I sat down with the Father of Mine on the throne of Him.

22 Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.”

The [one] having an ear he should hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
