Zvakazarurwa 3
1 “Kumutumwa wekereke iri muSadhisi nyora kuti: Aya ndiwo mashoko aiye akabata mweya minomwe yaMwari nenyeredzi nomwe. Ndinoziva mabasa ako; unonzi uri mupenyu, asi wakafa.
And to the angel of the church in Sardis say: These things says he who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: I have knowledge of your works, that you seem to be living but are dead.
2 Muka! Simbisa zvakasara zvoda kufa, nokuti handina kuwana mabasa ako akakwana pamberi paMwari wangu.
Be on the watch, and make strong the rest of the things which are near to death; because as judged by me your works have not come up to God's measure.
3 Naizvozvo, rangarira zvawakagamuchira nezvawakanzwa; uzviteerere, uye utendeuke. Asi kana usingapepuki, ndichauya sembavha, uye haungazivi nguva yandichauya nayo kwauri.
Keep in mind, then, the teaching which was given to you, and be ruled by it and have a change of heart. If then you do not keep watch, I will come like a thief, and you will have no knowledge of the hour when I will come on you.
4 Asi una vanhu vashoma muSadhisi vasina kusvibisa nguo dzavo. Vachafamba neni, vakapfeka nguo chena, nokuti ndivo vakafanira.
But you have some names in Sardis who have kept clean their robes; and as a reward they will go in white with me.
5 Anokunda achaita saivo, achashongedzwa nguo chena. Handingazodzimi zita rake kubva mubhuku roupenyu, asi ndichapupura zita rake pamberi paBaba vangu navatumwa vavo.
He who overcomes will be dressed in white, and I will not take his name from the book of life, and I will give witness to his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Ane nzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe zvinoreva Mweya kukereke.
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
7 “Kumutumwa wekereke iri muFiradherifia nyora kuti: Aya ndiwo mashoko aiye mutsvene wechokwadi, iye akabata kiyi yaDhavhidhi. Chaanozarura hakuna munhu anopfiga, chaanopfiga hakuna munhu anochizarura.
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia say: These things says he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, opening the door so that it may be shut by no one, and shutting it so that it may be open to no one.
8 Ndinoziva mabasa ako. Tarira, ndaisa pamberi pako mukova wakazaruka usingagoni kupfigwa nomunhu. Ndinoziva kuti une simba shoma, asi wakachengeta shoko rangu uye hauna kuramba zita rangu.
I have knowledge of your works (see, I have put before you an open door which may be shut by no one), and that you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have been true to my name.
9 Ndichaita kuti avo vari vesinagoge raSatani, vanozviti vaJudha kunyange vasiri ivo, asi varevi venhema, ndichaita kuti vauye uye vawire pasi petsoka dzako uye vagoziva kuti ndakakuda.
See, I will make those of the Synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and are not, but say what is false; I will make them come and give worship before your feet, and see my love for you.
10 Sezvo wakachengeta murayiro wangu kuti utsunge nomwoyo murefu, ndichakuchengetawo panguva yokuedzwa iri kusvika pamusoro penyika yose kuzoedza avo vanogara panyika.
Because you have kept my word in quiet strength, I will keep you from the hour of testing which is coming on all the world, to put to the test those who are on earth.
11 Ndiri kukurumidza kuuya. Batisisa icho chaunacho, kuti kurege kuva nomunhu anokutorera korona yako.
I come quickly: keep that which you have, so that no one may take your crown.
12 Uyo anokunda ndichamuita mbiru mutemberi yaMwari wangu. Haazombobudimo. Ndichanyora paari zita raMwari wangu nezita reguta raMwari wangu, Jerusarema idzva, riri kuburuka richibva kudenga kuna Mwari; uye ndichanyorawo paari zita rangu idzva.
Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the house of my God, and he will go out no more: and I will put on him the name of my God, and the name of the town of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.
13 Ane nzeve dzokunzwa ngaanzwe, zvinoreva Mweya kukereke.
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
14 “Kumutumwa wekereke iri muRaodhikea nyora kuti: Aya ndiwo mashoko aiye Ameni, chapupu chakatendeka uye chechokwadi, mutongi wezvisikwa zvaMwari.
And to the angel of the church in Laodicea say: These things says the true and certain witness, the head of God's new order:
15 Ndinoziva mabasa ako, kuti hautonhori kana kupisa. Ndaida kuti uve chimwe chaizvozvi!
I have knowledge of your works, that you are not cold or warm: it would be better if you were cold or warm.
16 Saka nokuda kwokuti unodziya zvishoma, haupisi kana kutonhora, ndava kuda kukusvipa kubva mumuromo mangu.
So because you are not one thing or the other, I will have no more to do with you.
17 Unoti, ‘Ndakapfuma; ndakawana pfuma uye handina chandinoshayiwa.’ Asi hauzivi kuti une nhamo, unonzwisa urombo, uri murombo, uri bofu uye hauna kusimira.
For you say, I have wealth, and have got together goods and land, and have need of nothing; and you are not conscious of your sad and unhappy condition, that you are poor and blind and without clothing.
18 Ndinokupa zano kuti utenge kwandiri goridhe rakanatswa nomoto, kuti upfume; uye uve nenguo chena dzokupfeka, kuitira kuti ufukidze nyadzi dzokusasimira kwako; nechizoro chokuisa mumeso ako, kuitira kuti ugone kuona.
If you are wise you will get from me gold tested by fire, so that you may have true wealth; and white robes to put on, so that your shame may not be seen; and oil for your eyes, so that you may see.
19 Avo vandinoda ndinovatsiura uye ndinovaranga. Saka shingaira, utendeuke.
To all those who are dear to me, I give sharp words and punishment: then with all your heart have sorrow for your evil ways.
20 Ndiri pano! Ndimire pamusuo ndichigogodza. Kana munhu akanzwa inzwi rangu akazarura musuo, ndichapinda ndigodya naye, uye iye neni.
See, I am waiting at the door and giving the sign; if my voice comes to any man's ears and he makes the door open, I will come in to him, and will take food with him and he with me.
21 Kuno uyo anokunda, ndichamutendera kuti agare neni pachigaro changu choushe, sezvandakakunda uye ndikagara naBaba vangu pachigaro chavo choushe.
To him who overcomes I will give a place with me on my high seat, even as I overcame, and am seated with my Father on his high seat.
22 Ane nzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe zvinoreva Mweya kukereke.”
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
