Mulʼata 3
1 “Ergamaa Waaqaa kan waldaa kiristaanaa Sardeesittiakkana jedhii barreessi: Inni Hafuurota Waaqaa torbaa fi urjiiwwan torba qabu sun akkana jedha. Ani hojii kee beeka; ati maqumaaf jirta malee duuteerta.
And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and thou art dead.
2 Dammaqi! Ani fuula Waaqa kootii duratti hojiin kee guutuu taʼuu isaa hin argineetii waan duʼuu gaʼe sana jajjabeessi.
Be thou watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine perfected before my God.
3 Kanaafuu waan fudhattee fi waan dhageesse yaadadhu; waan dhageesse sanaaf ajajami; qalbiis jijjiirradhu. Yoo ati dammaquu baatte garuu ani akkuma hattuutti sitti nan dhufa; saʼaatii kamitti akka ani sitti dhufus ati hin beektu.
Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear; and keep [it], and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Taʼu iyyuu ati namoota uffata isaanii hin xureessin muraasa Sardees keessaa qabda. Isaanis uffata adaadii uffatanii na wajjin ni deemu; isaan kanaaf warra malanii dha.
But thou hast a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy.
5 Namni moʼu akkuma isaanii uffata adaadii ni uffata. Anis maqaa isaa kitaaba jireenyaa keessaa gonkumaa hin haqu; fuula Abbaa kootii fi ergamoota isaa durattis maqaa isaa nan beeksisa.
He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Namni gurra qabu waan Hafuurri waldoota kiristaanaatiin jedhu haa dhagaʼu.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
7 “Ergamaa Waaqaa kan waldaa kiristaanaa Filaadelfiyaattiakkana jedhii barreessi: Inni qulqulluun, inni dhugaan, inni furtuu Daawit harka isaatii qabu, kan waan inni banu eenyu iyyuu cufuu hin dandeenyee fi waan inni cufus eenyu iyyuu banuu hin dandeenye sun akkana jedha.
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and none shall shut, and that shutteth and none openeth:
8 Ani hojii kee beeka. Kunoo, ani balbala banamaa namni cufuu hin dandeenye tokko fuula kee dura kaaʼeera. Akka ati humna xinnoo qabdus beeka; taʼus dubbii koo eegdeerta; maqaa koos hin ganne.
I know thy works (behold, I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut), that thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name.
9 Kunoo, ani warra waldaa Seexanaa taʼan kanneen utuu Yihuudoota hin taʼin Yihuudoota ofiin jedhanii soban keessaa tokko tokko akka isaan dhufanii miilla kee irratti kufanii sagadanii fi akka isaan akka ani si jaalladhe beekan nan godha.
Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of them that say they are Jews, and they are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Ajaja ani akka ati obsaan dhaabattuuf siif kenne sana waan eegdeef, anis saʼaatii qorumsaa kan warra lafa irra jiraatan qoruuf addunyaa guutuutti dhufuuf jiru sana irraa si oolcha.
Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that [hour] which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Ani dafeen dhufa. Atis akka namni tokko iyyuu gonfoo kee hin fudhanneef waan qabdu jabeessii qabadhu.
I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown.
12 Nama moʼatus mana qulqullummaa Waaqa koo keessatti utubaa nan godha. Innis achi keessaa gonkumaa hin baʼu. Anis maqaa Waaqa kootii fi maqaa magaalaa Waaqa koo, maqaa Yerusaalem ishee haaraa, ishee Waaqa koo biraa samii irraa gad buutu sanaa isa irratti nan barreessa; maqaa koo haaraas isa irratti nan barreessa.
He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name.
13 Namni gurra qabu waan Hafuurri waldoota kiristaanaatiin jedhu haa dhagaʼu.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
14 “Ergamaa Waaqaa kan waldaa kiristaanaa Lodooqiyaattiakkana jedhii barreessi: Ameen, inni amanamaan, dhuga baatuun dhugaatii fi jalqabaan uumama Waaqaa sun akkana jedha.
And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:
15 Akka ati qabbanaaʼaa yookaan hoʼaa hin taʼin ani hojii kee beeka! Ani utuu ati qabbanaaʼaa yookaan hoʼaa taatee silaa nan hawwa ture.
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 Kanaafuu ati waan laphiitaateef, hoʼaa yookaan qabbanaaʼaa waan hin taʼiniif ani afaan kootii si tufuu gaʼeera.
So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
17 Ati, ‘Ani sooressa; qabeenya argadheera; wanni na barbaachisu tokko iyyuu hin jiru’ jetta. Garuu ati deegaa, rakkataa, hiyyeessa, jaamaa fi qullaa taʼuu kee hin beektu.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked:
18 Kanaafuu ati akka sooromtuuf, warqee ibiddaan qulqulleeffame akka narraa bitattu, akka qullaa kee qaanessaa sana haguuggattuufis uffata adii uffattu akka narraa bitattu, akka arguu dandeessuuf immoo kuulii ijatti naqattu akka narraa bitattu sin gorsa.
I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.
19 Ani warran jaalladhu nan ifadha; nan adabas. Kanaafuu jabaadhu; qalbii jijjiirradhus.
As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Kunoo, ani balbala dura dhaabadheen balbala rurrukuta. Yoo namni kam iyyuu sagalee koo dhagaʼee balbala naaf bane, ani ol seenee isa wajjin irbaata nan nyaadha; innis na wajjin ni nyaata.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 Akkuma ani moʼadhee Abbaa koo wajjin teessoo isaa irra taaʼe sana, namni moʼatus akka inni na wajjin teessoo koo irra taaʼuuf mirga nan kennaaf.
He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.
22 Namni gurra qabu waan Hafuurri waldoota kiristaanaatiin jedhu haa dhagaʼu.”
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
