Ku Malaika wa Likanisa Lya Sardi yandika: 'Emisango ja uliya unu agwatiliye jilya emyoyo musanju eja Nyamuanga na jinjota musanju. “Enimenya chinu oukola. uli no lususo lwo kubha muanga mbe nawe, uli mufuye.
2 Woba ulindile, uqinise izinto eziseleyo esezizakufa; ngoba kangitholanga imisebenzi yakho iphelelisiwe phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Imuka na ukomeshe ganu gasagile, mbe nawe gali yei okufwa, kunsonga nitabhibwene ebhikolwa bhyao bhikumiye mu meso ga Nyamuanga wani.
3 Khumbula-ke ukuthi ukwemukele wakuzwa njani, ubusukugcina, uphenduke. Uba-ke ungalindi, ngizakuza phezu kwakho njengesela, njalo kawusoze walazi ihola engizakuza ngalo phezu kwakho.
Kulwejo, nuwichuke, jiliya jinu walamiye no kungwa. Nuwolobhe no kuta. Mbe nawe ukalema okwimuka, enija lwo mwifi, na utakumenya ni mwanya ki gunu enikujako.
4 Ulamabizo amalutshwana ngitsho eSardisi, angangcolisanga izembatho zawo; njalo bazahamba lami bekwezimhlophe, ngoba bafanele.
Mbe nawe galio amasina matoto aga bhanu bhanu bhali Sardi bhanu bhatajijabhishe emyenda jebhwe. Abho nibho abhalibhata amwi nanye, bhafwaye emyenda jimwela kobho, kunsonga bhejile.
5 Onqobayo, lowo uzagqokiswa izembatho ezimhlophe; futhi kangisoze ngilesule ibizo lakhe egwalweni lwempilo, njalo ngizalivuma ibizo lakhe phambi kukaBaba, laphambi kwengilosi zakhe.
Mbe unu kaiga kafwafibhwa ebhifwalo bhimwela kobho, na koto nitakulisimya Lisina lyaye okusoka mu chitabho cho bhuanga, na enilibhilikila lisina lyaye imbele ya Lata wani, na imbele ya Bhamalaika.
6 Olendlebe kezwe lokho uMoya akutshoyo emabandleni.
Alabha uli no kutwi, tegelesha jinu Mwoyo kutyo kagabhwila amakanisa.”
7 Lakuso isithunywa sebandla eliseFiladelfiya bhala uthi: Lezizinto utsho oNgcwele, oQotho, olesihluthulelo sikaDavida, ovula njalo kungavali muntu, avale futhi kungavuli muntu:
“Ku Malaika owa Likanisa elya Philadefia yandika: Emisango ja unu ali mulengelesi na ali we chimali-unu ali na jifungulujo ja Daudi, na kegula na atalio unu kegala, kegala na atalio unu katula okwigula.
8 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho; khangela, ngimise phambi kwakho umnyango ovuliweyo, njalo kakulamuntu ongawuvala, ngoba ulamandla amancinyane, njalo uligcinile ilizwi lami, futhi kawuliphikanga ibizo lami.
Enimenya chinu ukolele. Lola, nikuteleyeo imbele yao omulyango gunu gwigukile gunu atalio unu katula ogugwigala. Nimenyele ati uli na managa matoto mbe nawe ugwolobhee omusango gwani na utakulilema lisina lyani.
9 Khangela ngizakunika abavela esinagogeni likaSathane, abathi bangamaJuda, bengeyisiwo, kodwa beqamba amanga; khangela ngizabenza ukuthi beze baguqe phambi kwenyawo zakho, njalo bazi ukuthi mina ngikuthandile.
Lola! bhona bhanu bhali mulikofyanyisho lya Shetani, bhanu abhaika ati bhenene ni Bhayaudi Kasi tikwo kutyo, kukila ejo abhajiga-jiga. Enibhakola bhaje no kulamya imbele ya magulu gao, na mbamenya ati naliga nikwendele.
10 Ngoba ugcinile ilizwi lokubekezela kwami, lami ngizakulondoloza kuhola lokulingwa okuzafika emhlabeni wonke, ukulinga abakhileyo phezu komhlabathi.
Kulwo kubha ubhibhikile ebhilagilo bhyani kwo bhwigumilisha kwe chimali, enikulinda one mu mwanya gwao ogwo kulegejibhwa gunu oguja mu Chalo chona, okubhalegeja bhaliya bhona bhanu bhekaye mu chalo.
11 Khangela, ngiyeza ngokuphangisa; bambisisa olakho, ukuze kungabi khona okwemuka umqhele wakho.
Enija bhwangu. Nugwatilile muno chinu uli nacho koleleki asiga kubhao munu owo kugega olutenga lwao.
12 Onqobayo, ngizamenza insika ethempelini likaNkulunkulu wami; njalo kasoze aphinde aphume phandle, futhi ngizabhala ibizo likaNkulunkulu wami phezu kwakhe, lebizo lomuzi kaNkulunkulu wami, iJerusalema entsha, eyehla ivela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu wami, lebizo lami elitsha.
Enimukola unu kaiga kubha ing'ingi mu Yekalu ya Nyamuanga wani, na atakusokamo koto. Enilyandika ku mwene lisina Lya Nyamuanga wani, lisina lyo musi gwa Nyamuanga wani (Yelusalemu nyaya, gunu ogwika okusoka mu lwile ku Nyamuanga wani), ne Sina lyani eyaya.
13 Olendlebe kezwe lokho uMoya akutshoyo emabandleni.
Omwene unu ali no kutwi, nongwe chinu Mwoyo kaika ku MaKanisa.'
14 Lakuso isithunywa sebandla lamaLawodikeya bhala uthi: Lezizinto utsho uAmeni, umfakazi othembekileyo loqotho, owokuqala kokudaliweyo kukaNkulunkulu:
“Ku Malaika wa Likanisa elya Laodikia yandika: 'Emisango jaye unu ali Amina, unu ali wo kwimako no mubhambasi Mwiikanyibhwa, mutungi ingulu yo bhumogi bhwa Nyamuanga.
15 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, ukuthi njalo kawuqandi futhi kawutshisi. Kungathi ngabe uyaqanda kumbe utshise!
Enimenya chinu ukolele, na ati awe utanyiliye nolwo utanebhila, niligiye ati akili wakabhee munyiliye amwi mubhila!
16 Ngokunjalo, ngoba ubuthukuthuku, njalo ungaqandi futhi ungatshisi, ngizakukhafula emlonyeni wami.
Kwibhyo, ku nsonga awe uli ne bhila bhila, utane bhila nolwo kunyilila, mbe enija okukutanaka usoke mu munwa gwani.
17 Ngoba uthi: Nginothile, senginothile njalo kangisweli lutho, kanti kawazi ukuthi wena ungohluphekayo lohawulayo longumyanga loyisiphofu lonqunu;
Kulwa kubha owaika, “Anye nili munibhi, nabhee na bhinu bhyafu, na nitakenele chinu chona chona.” Mbe nawe atakumenya ati awe uli mutaka na munu we mwalo muno, no owo kusulumbalilwa, mutaka, muofu na tuyu.
18 ngiyakweluleka ukuthi uthenge kimi igolide elicengwe ngomlilo, ukuze unothe; lezembatho ezimhlophe, ukuze wembathe, lehlazo lobuze bakho lingembulwa; njalo ugcobe amehlo akho ngamagcobo amehlo, ukuze ubone.
Tegelesha inyaika yani: nugule kwanye ijaabhu inu ilabhile mu mulilo koleleki ubhone kubha munibhi, na jingubho jimwela jinu ejilabhyangila koleleki ujifwale omwene na wasiga kwelesha jinswalo ja bhutuyu bhwao, na amafuta go kubhambaga ku meso gao koleleki ulole.
19 Mina bonke engibathandayo, ngiyabasola ngibatshaye. Ngakho tshiseka uphenduke.
Bhuli unu enenda, enimwelesha no kumwiigisha lwa kutyo jiile okulama; kulwejo, nubhe we chimali na ute.
20 Khangela, ngimi emnyango ngiqoqoda; uba umuntu esizwa ilizwi lami, abesevula umnyango, ngizangena kuye, ngidle laye, laye lami.
Lola enimelegulu ku mulyango ne nikonona. Wone wone unu kongwa obhulaka bhwani no kwingula omulyango, enija no kwingila muju yaye, no kulya ebhilyo nage no mwene amwi nanye.
21 Onqobayo, ngizamnika ukuthi ahlale lami esihlalweni sami sobukhosi, njengalokhu lami nganqoba, ngasengihlala loBaba esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi.
Unu kaiga, enimuyana echimali cho kwinyanja amwi nanye ingulu ye chitebhe chani cha ingoma, lwa kutyo anye naigile no kwinyanja amwi na Lata wani ingulu ye chitebhe chaye echa ingoma.
22 Olendlebe kezwe lokho uMoya akutshoyo emabandleni.
Unu ali no kutwi, kwo kungwa mbe nongwe jinu Mwoyo kabhwila amakanisa.”
