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 angel of the congregation in Sardis write: "He who has the seven Ruachs 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 Uyumuke na ugapange imara gagaisa lile, lakini gai karibu waa, kwasababu machuba yandabona na itendo yako ikamilike pa minyo ga Nnungu wangu.
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 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 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 Lakini kui na maina machini ya bandu katika Sardi ambayo bana chafua kwaa ngobo yabe. Batyanga pamope na nee, baweti ngobo uu, kwasababu bandastahili.
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 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 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 Mana ubile na lichikilo, upikani Roho agabakia makanisa.”
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach 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.
"To the angel of the congregation 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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 Nenda icha upesi ukamulie muno chalo chaubile nacho linga kanaubee mundu wa tola kofia yako.
I am coming quickly. Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your 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 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 Yembe yabile na lichikilo, na yowe chabaya Roho kwa makanisa.'
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach 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.
"To the angel of the congregation in Laodicea write: "The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God's creation, says these things:
15 Ndangite chaukipangite, ni kwamba wenga si wa mbepo ama mwoto!
"I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
16 Nyo, kwasababu wenga ni vuguvugu, ntupu mwoto wa mbepo, nipala kukutapika upita munkano wangu.
So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you 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 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 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 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 Kila ywanipenda, ninda kumwelekeza ni kumfundisha namna yaipalikwa tama; kwa nyo, upange mkweli wa tubu.
As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. 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.
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 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 to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 Ywembe ywabile lichikilo na apekani ambacho Roho ayabakiya makanisa.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach says to the congregations."
