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 in Sardis church do write: These things says the [One] having the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars; I know your deeds that (*k*) characterization you have that you are alive and yet dead you are.
2 Dammaqi! Ani fuula Waaqa kootii duratti hojiin kee guutuu taʼuu isaa hin argineetii waan duʼuu gaʼe sana jajjabeessi.
do be watching and do strengthen the [things] that remain which (were about *N(k)(O)*) (to die; *NK(O)*) not for I have found your works completed in the sight of the God (of Mine. *NO*)
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.
do remember therefore what you have received and heard — and do keep [it] and do repent. If therefore not you shall watch, I will come (upon you *K*) like a thief, and certainly not (you may know *NK(o)*) at what hour I will come upon you.
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 *NO*) you have a few people in Sardis who not soiled the garments of them, and they will walk with Me in white, because worthy they are.
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.
The [one] overcoming (thus *N(k)O*) will be clothed in garments white, And certainly not will I blot out the name of him from the book of life and (I will acknowledge *N(k)O*) the name of him before the Father of Mine and before the angels of Him.
6 Namni gurra qabu waan Hafuurri waldoota kiristaanaatiin jedhu haa dhagaʼu.
The [one] having an ear he should hear what the Spirit says 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 in Philadelphia church do write: These things says the Holy [One], the True [One], who is having the key (*k*) of David, who is opening and no [one] (will shut *N(k)O*) (it (only except that which is being open); *O*) and (shutting *N(k)O*) and no [one] (opens; *NK(o)*)
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 your deeds. Behold I have set before you a door opened (which *N(K)O*) no [one] is able to shut it; because little you have power and yet you have kept My word and not denied the name of Me.
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 may give *N(k)O*) [those] from the synagogue of Satan — those declaring themselves Jews to be and not are, but they lie — behold I will cause them that (they will come *N(k)O*) and (they will worship *N(k)O*) before the feet of you and they may know that I myself loved you.
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 you have kept the word of the patient endurance of Mine, I myself also I myself also you will keep out of the hour of the trial which is being about to come upon the inhabited world whole to try those dwelling upon the earth.
11 Ani dafeen dhufa. Atis akka namni tokko iyyuu gonfoo kee hin fudhanneef waan qabdu jabeessii qabadhu.
(behold *K*) I am coming quickly; do hold fast to what you have, so that no one may take the crown of you.
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.
The [one] overcoming, I will make him a pillar in the temple of the God of Mine, and out certainly not shall he go anymore, And I will write upon him the name of the God of Mine and the name of the city of the God of Mine, the new Jerusalem, which (is descending *NK(o)*) out of heaven from the God of Mine, and the name of Me new.
13 Namni gurra qabu waan Hafuurri waldoota kiristaanaatiin jedhu haa dhagaʼu.
The [one] having an ear he should hear what the Spirit says 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 (in *no*) (Laodicea *N(K)O*) church do write: These things says the Amen, the Witness faithful and (*o*) true, 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 your works that neither cold you are nor hot. I wish cold (you were *N(k)O*) or hot;
16 Kanaafuu ati waan laphiitaateef, hoʼaa yookaan qabbanaaʼaa waan hin taʼiniif ani afaan kootii si tufuu gaʼeera.
So because lukewarm you are and (neither *NK(o)*) hot nor cold, I am about you to spit out of the mouth of Mine,
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.
For you say that Rich I am and I have grown rich and ([of] no [thing] *N(k)O*) need I have, And not do you understand that you yourself are wretched and (*o*) 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 you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may be rich, and garments white so that you may be clothed and not may be made manifest the shame of the nakedness of you, and eye-salve (so that *o*) (to anoint *N(k)(O)*) the eyes of you so that you may see.
19 Ani warran jaalladhu nan ifadha; nan adabas. Kanaafuu jabaadhu; qalbii jijjiirradhus.
I myself as many as if shall love I rebuke and discipline. (do be jealous *N(k)O*) therefore and do 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 have stood at the door and knock. If anyone shall hear the voice of Mine and shall open the door, (then *no*) I will come in to him and I will dine 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.
The [one] overcoming, I will give to him to sit with Me on the throne of Mine as I myself also I myself also overcame and I sat down with the Father of Mine on the throne of Him.
22 Namni gurra qabu waan Hafuurri waldoota kiristaanaatiin jedhu haa dhagaʼu.”
The [one] having an ear he should hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
