Ufunuo 3
1 Kwa malaika wa kanisa la Sardi uandike maneno ya yulo ywa kumulya yalo Roho saba ya Nnungu ni ndondwa saba “Ndakite ambacho chaupangite uina sifa ya panga wa ukoto wa wakati uwile.
And to the agent of the congregation in Sardis write, These things says he who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou have a name that thou live, and thou are dead.
2 Uyumuke na ugapange imara gagaisa lile, lakini gai karibu waa, kwasababu machuba yandabona na itendo yako ikamilike pa minyo ga Nnungu wangu.
Become thou watchful, and strengthen the remaining things that thou were going to throw away, for I have not found thy works made complete before my God.
3 Kwahiyo ukumbuki galo galo gaupokile na yua, ugalii na tubu. lakini mana uyumwike kwaa mbaicha kati mwii, na watanga kwaa saa yakuuyampaicha kunani yake.
Remember therefore how thou have received and heard, and be on guard, and repent. If therefore thou will not watch, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou will, no, not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Lakini kui na maina machini ya bandu katika Sardi ambayo bana chafua kwaa ngobo yabe. Batyanga pamope na nee, baweti ngobo uu, kwasababu bandastahili.
But thou have a few names in Sardis who did not defile their garments. And they will walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
5 Yulo ywa shinda bapakun'gwalika ngobo uu, na nilifuata kwaa lina lyake buka katika kitabu cha ukoto na nalitambua lina lyake nnongi ya tati bangu, na nnongiya malaika.
He who overcomes, this man will be clothed in white garments, and I will, no, not erase his name out of the book of life. And I will acknowledge his name before my Father, and before his agents.
6 Mana ubile na lichikilo, upikani Roho agabakia makanisa.”
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
7 “Kwa makanisa ga Philadefia uandike: Maneno ga mtakatifu ni kwelii ywabile ni punguo ya Daudi andayangwa na ntupu ywa wecha yigala.
And to the agent of the congregation in Philadelphia write, These things says the Holy, the True, he who has the key of David, who opens, and none will shut it except he who opens, and none will open:
8 Ndagite chaukipangite linga, nikubiki nnongi yako nnyango wauyugulikwe ambao ntupu ywa weza yigala. Ndangite ubile ni ngupu njini lakini utii neno lyangu unalikana kwaa lina lyangu
I know thy works. Behold, I have given before thee an opened door that none is able to shut it, because thou have little power, and thou keep my word, and did not deny my name.
9 Ulingee! Boti bababile ba sinagogi la nchela, balo bababayage bembe nga Ayahudi na kumbe nyoli badala yake babaya ubocho. Naapanga baiche na bamijinamii nnongi ya magulu gako ni batanga natikupenda.
Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, those who say themselves to be Jews, and are not, but lie, behold, I will make them so that they will come and bow down before thy feet, and may know that I have loved thee.
10 Kwa kuwa utunzike amri yangu kwa komea muno nakulindela na saa yako ya kukupaya ambayo yendaicha katika ulimwengu woti, kuwapaya balo boti babata pa kilambo.
Because thou keep the word of my perseverance, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole inhabited world, to try those who dwell upon the earth.
11 Nenda icha upesi ukamulie muno chalo chaubile nacho linga kanaubee mundu wa tola kofia yako.
I come quickly, hold firm what thou have, so that none may take thy crown.
12 Nipala kumpanga ywembe ywashinda panga lugoma katika hekalu la Nnungu wangu, na hapala pita kwaa panja kamwe. Nipala kuliandikia kwake lina lya Nnungu wangu, lina la mji wa Nnungu wangu (yerusalemuwanyambe, wahuuluka pae poka kumaunde kwa Nnongo wangu) nalina liake layambe.
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will, no, not go out any more. And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem (it comes down out of the heaven from my God), and my new name.
13 Yembe yabile na lichikilo, na yowe chabaya Roho kwa makanisa.'
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
14 Kwa malaika wa kanisa lya Laodika uandike: maneno gake ywabile Amina, ywategemewa ni shahidi mwaminifu, mtawala kunani ya uumbaji wa Nnungu.
And to the agent of the congregation in Laodicea write, These things says the Truly, the faithful and true witness, the primacy of the creation of God:
15 Ndangite chaukipangite, ni kwamba wenga si wa mbepo ama mwoto!
I know thy works, that thou are neither cold nor hot. O that thou were cold or hot.
16 Nyo, kwasababu wenga ni vuguvugu, ntupu mwoto wa mbepo, nipala kukutapika upita munkano wangu.
So because thou are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to spew thee out of my mouth.
17 Kwa kuwa ubaya, “Nenga na tajiri, nibile na mali ynambone, na nipala kwaa chochote.” Lakini utangite kwaa kwamba wwnga ni duni muno, wahuchunikiwa, masikiniu, kipofu na uchi.
Because thou say, I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing, and do not know that thou are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.
18 Upekani ushauri wangu, upeme kwango dhahabu yaisafishilwe kwa mwoto lenga upate panga watajiri, na ngobo uuu ya ing'ara lenga ujiwalike mwene na kana ubone oni ya uchi wako, ni mauti ya pakala katika minyo gako upate bona.
I counsel thee to buy from me gold refined from fire, so that thou may become wealthy, and white garments, so that thou may clothe thyself, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be made known, and eye-salve, so that thou may anoint thine eyes, so that thou may see.
19 Kila ywanipenda, ninda kumwelekeza ni kumfundisha namna yaipalikwa tama; kwa nyo, upange mkweli wa tubu.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Lola nindayema katika mnyango ni nikombwa odi, yeyoti ywayowa lilobe lyango ni yogowa mnango, nipala icha na jingiya munyumba gake ni lya chakulya nokwe ni ywembe pamope na nee.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.
21 Ywembe ywashinda, nipala kumpeya haki ya tama pae pamope ni nee kunani ya kiteo chango cha enzi, kati nenga chanishindile na tama pae pamope ni Tate bango kunani ya kiteo chake cha enzi.
He who overcomes, I will give him to sit with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.
22 Ywembe ywabile lichikilo na apekani ambacho Roho ayabakiya makanisa.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
