Nng'ibhulo 3
1 Kuka malaika jwa Likanisha lya ku Shalidi nnjandishe nnei. “Gegano ni malobhe ga bhene bhakwete mbumu shabha ya a Nnungu, na ndondwa shabha ila. Niimanyi itendi yako, nkali ushuma kuti ukwete gumiyo, ugwe uwile.
"And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: "He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these things: "I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
2 Jumuka na ubhishe ukoto yowe ili tome nawa, pabha niibhweni itendi yako kuti yangakamilika pa meyo ga a Nnungu bhangu.
Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which were about to die, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God.
3 Bhai kumbushila majiganyo guupegwilwe na guupilikene gala, ugakamulile nikwiipeta yambi yako. Ukasheye, shinikujiile shiimushila malinga shakwiya nngwii, wala ukagamanya malanga gushinikujiile.
Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you do not wake up, I will come as a thief, and you won't know what hour I will come to you.
4 Ikabheje ukwete bhandu bhashoko ku Shalidi bhakanabhe nyatiyanga nngubho yabhonji. Bhene bhanganyabho ni shibhalongane na nne bhawetenje nngubho yanawe, pabha ni bhaapinjikwanga.”
Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
5 Jwene shaakombolejo shawashwe nngubho yanawe malinga bhanganyabho, na nne ngalishoya lina lyakwe nshitabhu sha gumi, ikabheje shingong'ondele lina lyakwe pa meyo ga Atati na pa meyo ga ashimalaika bhabho.
He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the Book of Life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Jwene akwete makutujo apilikane, gene gabhelenje Mbumu ku makanisha.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
7 Kuka malaika jwa Likanisha lya ku Piladelipia nnjandishe nnei. “Gegano ni malobhe gubhaabheleketa bhene bha ukonjelo na bha kweli, bhakwete upunguo gwa a Daudi. Bhaugulaga jwakwa shaakombole kuugala, na bhaugalaga jwakwa shaakombole kuugula.
"To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: "These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens:
8 Niimanyi itendi yako. Lola mmujo jako njibhika nnango gwanng'ugulwe na jwakwapi shaakombole kuugala. Nimumanyi kuti ukwete mashili gashoko, ikabheje ushikamulila lilobhe lyangu na gwangalikana lina lyangu.
"I know your works. Look, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have a little power, and have kept my word, and did not deny my name.
9 Lola, shinikupe bhene bha nyumba jika Lishetani bhakwiishemanga Bhayaudi bhalinginji nngabha Bhayaudi, mbena bhanami. Shinaatendanje bhakutindibhalilanje pa makongono gako, bhamumanyanje kuti nne nikupinjile.
Look, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie; look, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
10 Pabha ushikamulila lilobhe lyangu lya kwiipililila, numbe nne shinikubhishile ulinda ushoshe mmalanga ga shilaje gakwiya pa shilambolyo powe, nkupinga kwaalinganga bhaatamangana pa shilambolyo.
Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11 Ngunakwiya shangu. Ukamulile ukoto shiukwete, nkupinga mundu anakupokonyole shilemba shako.”
I am coming quickly. Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.
12 Jwene shaakombole kutenda ukoto kupunda bhananjijo, shinintende kubha lipoto lya liekalu lya a Nnungu bhangu, na akashoka mwenemo kabhili. Na kabhili pa ntundu jakwe shinyandishe lina lya a Nnungu bhangu, na lina lya shilambo sha a Nnungu bhangu, yani Yelushalemu ja ambi, jituluka kopoka kunnungu, kwa a Nnungu bhangu. Nneila peila pa ntundu jakwe shinyandishe lina lyangu lya ambi.
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
13 Akwete makutujo apilikane gene gabhelenje Mbumu ku makanisha.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
14 Kuka malaika jwa Likanisha lya ku Laodikia nnjandishe nnei. Gegano ni malobhe ga bhene bhali Amina yani, Nneyo Peyo, bhaakong'ondela bhaakulupalika na bha kweli, bhali nantando jwa indu yowe ipengenywe na a Nnungu.
"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: "The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God's creation, says these things:
15 Niimanyi itendi yako kuti ugwe ukaima na wala ukaabhabhula, mbaya ukaliji jwa ima eu jwa bhabhula.
"I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
16 Bhai, pabha ugwe ushibha jwa ntukuta, ukaima na wala ukaabhabhula shinikuune ukoposhe nkang'wa jangu.
So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
17 Pabha ukuti, nne tajili ngwete indu yaigwinji na ngatubhilwa na shindu, ukakwiimanya kuti gwangali mashili, na unalaga, na gwangali shindu na nangalole na uli makonope.
Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;' and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;
18 Kwa nneyo, ngunakuupa lunda, kuume kwangu nne shaabhu jijitwilwe pa moto ubhe tajili, na kuume nngubho yanawe uwale pabha uli makonope gwiijambate. Na kabhili kuume ntela gwa taga mmeyo gakogo nkupinga ulole.
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.
19 Nne ngunakwaakalipilanga na kwaakomanga bhowe bhungwaapinganga, kwa nneyo utumbilile kwiipeta yambi yako.
As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Lola, ngunajima pa nnango niolishiya, mundu apilikanaga lilobhe lyangu niugula, shinyinjile munngwakwemo, na shutulye pamo.
Look, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.
21 Jwene shaakombole kutenda ukoto kupunda bhananjijo, shinimmishe tome na shitengu shangu sha upalume, malinga nne shingombwele kutenda ukoto, gundemi tome na Atati pa shitengu shabho sha upalume.
He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 Akwete makutujo, apilikane gene gabheleketa Mbumu ku Makanisha.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
