1 “सार्डिसको मण्डलीमा भएका दूतलाई लेखः ‘सातवटा तारा र परमेश्वरका सात आत्मा पक्रिनुहुनेका वचनहरू यिनै हुन् । तिमीले गरेका कामहरू मलाई थाहा छ । तिमी जीवित भएको ख्याति भए तापनि तिमी मरेका छौ ।
“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars; – I know your life, and that people say of you that you are living, though you are dead.
2 उठ र जाग अनि मर्नै लागेका बाँकी रहेका कुराहरूलाई बलियो बनाऊ, तर यो मर्नै लागेको छ, किनकि मैले मेरा परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा तिम्रा कामहरू पुरा भएको पाएको छैनँ ।
Be on the watch, and strengthen what still survives, though once it was all but dead; for I have not found your life perfect in the eyes of my God.
3 त्यसकारण, जुन कुरा तिमीले प्राप्त गर्यौ र सुन्यौ, सो सम्झ । यसलाई पालन गर अनि पश्चात्ताप गर । तर यदि तिमी जागा रहेनौ भने, म तिम्रो विरुद्धमा चोरजस्तै गरी कुन घडी आउनेछु र कुन समयमा आउनेछु भनी तिमीले जान्नेछैनौ ।
Therefore remember what you have received and heard, and lay it to heart and repent. Unless you are on the watch, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I am coming to you.
4 तर सार्डिसका मानिसहरूमा केही नाउँहरू छन्, जसले आफ्नो वस्त्र फोहोर परेका छैनन् । तिनीहरू सेतो वस्त्रमा मसँग हिँड्नेछन्, कारण तिनीहरू योग्यका छन् ।
Yet there are some few among you at Sardis who did not soil their robes; they will walk with me, robed in white, for they are worthy.
5 जसले जित्छ, उसलाई सेतो वस्त्र पहिराइनेछ, र जीवनको पुस्तकबाट म उसको नाउँ कहिल्यै मेटाउनेछैन, अनि म मेरा पिता र उहाँका स्वर्गदूतहरूका सामु उसको नाउँ घोषणा गर्नेछु ।
Those who conquer will be clothed in these white robes, and I will not strike their name out of the book of life; but I will own them before my Father, and before his angels.
6 आत्माले मण्डलीहरूलाई के भन्दै हुनुहुन्छ, जसको कान छ, उसले सुनोस्’ ।”
Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
7 “फिलाडेल्फियामा भएको मण्डलीका दूतलाई लेखः ‘जो सत्य र पवित्र हुनुहुन्छ, यी वचनहरू उहाँका हुन्, उहाँले दाऊदको साँचोलाई पक्रनुभएको छ, उहाँले खोल्नुहुन्छ र कसैले पनि बन्द गर्न सक्दैन, उहाँले बन्द गर्नुहुन्छ र कसैले पनि खोल्न सक्दैन ।
“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the Key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and shuts and no one opens:
8 तिमीले गरेका काम मलाई थाहा छ । हेर, तिम्रो अगि मैले खुला ढोका राखिदिएको छु र त्यसलाई कसैले पनि बन्द गर्न सक्दैन । मलाई थाहा छ, कि तिमीसँग थोरै शक्ति छ, तापनि तिमीले मेरा वचन पालन गरेका छौ र मेरो नाउँलाई इन्कार गरेका छैनौ ।
I know your life (see, I have set a door open before you which no one is able to shut), I know that, though you have but little strength, you kept my teaching in mind, and did not disown my name.
9 हेर, जसले आफैँलाई यहूदीहरू हुँ भनी भन्छन् तर तिनीहरू होइनन्, तिनीहरू शैतानको सभाघरकाहरू हुन्, बरु तिनीहरूले झुट बोलिरहेका छन् । म तिनीहरूलाई तिम्रो पाउको अगि आई निहुरेर दण्डवत् गर्न लगाउनेछु, अनि मैले तिमीलाई प्रेम गरेको कुरा तिनीहरूले जान्नेछन् ।
Listen, I give some of the congregation of Satan, the people who declare that they are God’s people, though they are not, but are lying – I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will learn that I loved you.
10 तिमीले मेरो वचन धैर्यसाथ पालन गरेका हुनाले पृथ्वीमा जिउनेहरूको जाँच आउँदा सारा संसारमा आइपर्ने विपत्तिको घडीमा पर्नबाट म पनि तिमीलाई जोगाउनेछु ।
Because you kept in mind the story of my endurance, I will keep you in the hour of trial that is about to come on the whole world, the hour that will test all who are living on earth.
11 म चाँडै आउँदै छु । तिमीसँग जे छ त्यसलाई बलियो गरी पक्रिराख ताकि तिम्रो मुकुटलाई कसैले लिएर जान नसकोस् ।
I will come quickly. Hold to what you have received so that no one may take your crown.
12 जसले जित्छ त्यसलाई म मेरा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा एउटा खाँबो बनाउनेछु र ऊ यसबाट कहिल्यै बाहिर जानेछैन । उसमाथि मेरा परमेश्वरको सहरको नाउँ, मेरा परमेश्वरको नाउँ (नयाँ यरूशलेम, जुन मेरा परमेश्वरबाट स्वर्गदेखि तल ओर्लेर आउँछ), अनि मेरो नयाँ नाउँ म लेखिदिनेछु ।
Those who conquer – I will make them a pillar in the Temple of my God; and never more will they leave it; and I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God, and I will write on them my new name.
13 मण्डलीहरूलाई आत्माले के भन्दै हुनुहुन्छ, जसको कान छ उसले सुनोस्’ ।”

14 “लाउडिकियामा भएको मण्डलीको दूतलाई लेखः परमेश्वरका सृष्टिमाथिको शासनकर्ता जो भरपर्दो र सत्य साक्षी, ‘यी वचनहरू आमेनका हुन् ।
“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Unchanging One, the witness faithful and true, the beginning of the Creation of God:
15 मलाई तिम्रा कामहरू थाहा छ, कि तिमी न तातो न चिसो छौ । तिमी कि त तातो वा चिसो भएको म चाहन्थेँ ।
I know your life; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. If only you were either cold or hot!
16 त्यसैले, तिमी मनतातो, न तातो न चिसो छौ । यसैकारण, मैले तिमीलाई मेरो मुखबाट उकेलिदिन आँटेको छु ।
But now, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
17 किनकि तिमी भन्छौ, ‘म धनी छु र मसित धेरै भौतिक सम्पत्ति छन् र मलाई कुनै थोकको आवश्यक छैन ।’ तर तिमी दुःखित, दयनीय, गरिब, अन्धा र नाङ्गै छौ भनी तिमीलाई थाहा नै छैन ।
You say ‘I am rich and have grown rich, and I want for nothing,’ and you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, naked!
18 मेरो सल्लाहलाई ध्यान देऊः आगोद्वारा शुद्ध पारिएको सुन मबाट किन ताकि तिमी धनी हुन सक, र तिम्रो नाङ्गोपनको लाज ढाक्नलाई चम्किलो सेतो वस्त्र लगाऊ र तिम्रो नाङ्गोपनको लाज नदेखियोस्, र आफ्ना आँखामा मलहम लगाऊ ताकि तिमीले देख्न सक ।
Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold which has been refined by fire so that you may grow rich; and white robes, so that you may be clothed and your shameful nakedness be hidden; and ointment to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.
19 मैले प्रेम गर्ने प्रत्येकलाई म तालिम दिन्छु, र तिनीहरू कसरी जिउनुपर्छ सो म तिनीहरूलाई सिकाउँछु । त्यसकारण, पश्चात्ताप गर र इमानदार होऊ ।
All whom I love I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be in earnest and repent.
20 हेर, म ढोकामा उभिरहन्छु र ढकढक्याइरहन्छु । यदि कसैले मेरो स्वर सुनेर ढोका खोल्छ भने, म उसको घरभित्र आउनेछु र उसँग खानेछु अनि उसले मसँग खानेछ ।
I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will go in, and will feast with them, and they will feast with me.
21 जसले जित्छ, उसलाई मेरो सिंहासनमा मसँग बस्नलाई अधिकार दिनेछु, जसरी मैले पनि जितेँ र त्यसरी नै म पनि मेरा पितासँग उहाँको सिंहासनमा बसेको छु ।
To those who conquer – to them I will give the right to sit beside me on my throne, as I, when I conquered, took my seat beside my Father on his throne.
22 मण्डलीहरूलाई आत्माले के भन्दै हुनुहुन्छ, जसको कान छ उसले सुनोस् ।”
