Ufunuo 3
1 “Kwa malaika wa kanisa lililoko Sardi andika: “Haya ndiyo maneno ya aliye na zile Roho sabaza Mungu na zile nyota saba. Nayajua matendo yako, kwamba una sifa ya kuwa hai, lakini umekufa.
Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Σάρδεσιν ἐκκλησίας γράψον· Τάδε λέγει ὁ ἔχων τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀστέρας· Οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα, ὅτι ὄνομα ἔχεις ὅτι ζῇς, καὶ νεκρὸς εἶ.
2 Amka! Nawe uyaimarishe yale yaliyosalia na yaliyo karibu kufa, kwa maana sikuona kwamba kazi zako zimekamilika machoni pa Mungu wangu.
γίνου γρηγορῶν, καὶ στήρισον τὰ λοιπὰ ἃ ⸂ἔμελλον ἀποθανεῖν, οὐ γὰρ εὕρηκά σου ⸀τὰἔργα πεπληρωμένα ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ μου·
3 Kumbuka basi yale uliyoyapokea na kuyasikia, yatii na ukatubu. Lakini usipoamka, nitakuja kama mwizi wala hutajua saa nitakayokuja kwako.
μνημόνευε οὖν πῶς εἴληφας καὶ ἤκουσας καὶ τήρει, καὶ μετανόησον· ἐὰν οὖν μὴ γρηγορήσῃς, ⸀ἥξωὡς κλέπτης, καὶ οὐ μὴ ⸀γνῷςποίαν ὥραν ἥξω ἐπὶ σέ·
4 “Lakini bado una watu wachache katika Sardi ambao hawajayachafua mavazi yao. Wao wataenda pamoja nami, wakiwa wamevaa mavazi meupe, kwa maana wanastahili.
ἀλλὰ ⸂ἔχεις ὀλίγα ὀνόματα ἐν Σάρδεσιν ἃ οὐκ ἐμόλυναν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν, καὶ περιπατήσουσιν μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἐν λευκοῖς, ὅτι ἄξιοί εἰσιν.
5 Yeye ashindaye atavikwa vazi jeupe kama wao. Sitafuta jina lake kutoka kitabu cha uzima, bali nitalikiri jina lake mbele za Baba yangu na mbele za malaika wake.
ὁ νικῶν ⸀οὕτωςπεριβαλεῖται ἐν ἱματίοις λευκοῖς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξαλείψω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς βίβλου τῆς ζωῆς, καὶ ὁμολογήσω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ.
6 Yeye aliye na sikio na asikie yale ambayo Roho ayaambia makanisa.
ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.
7 “Kwa malaika wa kanisa lililoko Filadelfia andika: “Haya ndiyo maneno yake yeye aliye mtakatifu na wa kweli, yeye aliye na ufunguo wa Daudi. Anachokifungua hakuna awezaye kukifunga, wala anachokifunga hakuna awezaye kukifungua.
Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Φιλαδελφείᾳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· Τάδε λέγει ὁ ἅγιος, ὁ ἀληθινός, ὁ ἔχων τὴν κλεῖν ⸀Δαυίδ ὁ ἀνοίγων καὶ οὐδεὶς κλείσει, ⸂καὶ κλείων καὶ οὐδεὶς ⸀ἀνοίγει
8 Nayajua matendo yako. Tazama, nimeweka mbele yako mlango uliofunguliwa, wala hakuna awezaye kuufunga. Ninajua kwamba una nguvu kidogo lakini umelishika neno langu wala hukulikana Jina langu.
Οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα— ἰδοὺ δέδωκα ἐνώπιόν σου θύραν ἠνεῳγμένην, ἣν οὐδεὶς δύναται κλεῖσαι αὐτήν— ὅτι μικρὰν ἔχεις δύναμιν, καὶ ἐτήρησάς μου τὸν λόγον, καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσω τὸ ὄνομά μου.
9 Nitawafanya wale wa sinagogi la Shetani, wale ambao husema kuwa ni Wayahudi lakini sio, bali ni waongo, nitawafanya waje wapige magoti miguuni pako, na wakiri ya kwamba nimekupenda.
ἰδοὺ ⸀διδῶἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς τοῦ Σατανᾶ, τῶν λεγόντων ἑαυτοὺς Ἰουδαίους εἶναι, καὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν ἀλλὰ ψεύδονται— ἰδοὺ ποιήσω αὐτοὺς ἵνα ⸂ἥξουσιν καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν ἐνώπιον τῶν ποδῶν σου, καὶ γνῶσιν ὅτι ⸀ἐγὼἠγάπησά σε.
10 Kwa kuwa umeshika amri yangu ya kuvumilia katika saburi, nitakulinda katika saa ya kujaribiwa inayokuja ulimwenguni pote, ili kuwajaribu wote wakaao duniani.
ὅτι ἐτήρησας τὸν λόγον τῆς ὑπομονῆς μου, κἀγώ σε τηρήσω ἐκ τῆς ὥρας τοῦ πειρασμοῦ τῆς μελλούσης ἔρχεσθαι ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκουμένης ὅλης, πειράσαι τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
11 “Ninakuja upesi. Shika sana ulicho nacho, ili mtu asije akaichukua taji yako.
ἔρχομαι ταχύ· κράτει ὃ ἔχεις, ἵνα μηδεὶς λάβῃ τὸν στέφανόν σου.
12 Yeye ashindaye nitamfanya kuwa nguzo katika hekalu la Mungu wangu, wala hatatoka humo kamwe. Nitaandika juu yake Jina la Mungu wangu na jina la mji mkubwa wa Mungu wangu, Yerusalemu mpya, ambao unashuka kutoka mbinguni kwa Mungu wangu. Nami pia nitaandika juu yake Jina langu jipya.
ὁ νικῶν ποιήσω αὐτὸν στῦλον ἐν τῷ ναῷ τοῦ θεοῦ μου, καὶ ἔξω οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃ ἔτι, καὶ γράψω ἐπʼ αὐτὸν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ μου καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως τοῦ θεοῦ μου, τῆς καινῆς Ἰερουσαλήμ, ἡ ⸀καταβαίνουσαἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ μου, καὶ τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ καινόν.
13 Yeye aliye na sikio na asikie yale ambayo Roho ayaambia makanisa.
ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.
14 “Kwa malaika wa kanisa lililoko Laodikia andika: “Haya ndiyo maneno yake yeye aliye Amen, shahidi mwaminifu na wa kweli, mtawala wa uumbaji wote wa Mungu.
Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· Τάδε λέγει ὁ Ἀμήν, ὁ μάρτυς ὁ πιστὸς ⸀καὶἀληθινός, ἡ ἀρχὴ τῆς κτίσεως τοῦ θεοῦ·
15 Nayajua matendo yako, ya kwamba wewe si baridi wala si moto. Afadhali ungelikuwa moja au lingine.
Οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα, ὅτι οὔτε ψυχρὸς εἶ οὔτε ζεστός. ὄφελον ψυχρὸς ἦς ἢ ζεστός.
16 Hivyo kwa kuwa u vuguvugu, si baridi wala moto, nitakutapika utoke kinywani mwangu.
οὕτως, ὅτι χλιαρὸς εἶ καὶ ⸀οὔτεζεστὸς οὔτε ψυχρός, μέλλω σε ἐμέσαι ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου.
17 Kwa maana unasema: ‘Mimi ni tajiri, nimejilimbikizia mali, wala sihitaji kitu chochote.’ Lakini hutambui ya kwamba wewe ni mnyonge, wa kuhurumiwa, maskini, kipofu, tena uliye uchi.
ὅτιλέγεις ⸀ὅτι Πλούσιός εἰμι καὶ πεπλούτηκα καὶ ⸀οὐδὲνχρείαν ἔχω, καὶοὐκ οἶδας ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ταλαίπωρος ⸀καὶ ἐλεεινὸς καὶ πτωχὸς καὶ τυφλὸς καὶ γυμνός,
18 Nakushauri ununue kutoka kwangu dhahabu iliyosafishwa kwa moto, ili upate kuwa tajiri, na mavazi meupe ili uyavae upate kuficha aibu ya uchi wako, na mafuta ya kupaka macho yako ili upate kuona.
συμβουλεύω σοι ἀγοράσαι ⸂παρʼ ἐμοῦ χρυσίον πεπυρωμένον ἐκ πυρὸς ἵνα πλουτήσῃς, καὶ ἱμάτια λευκὰ ἵνα περιβάλῃ καὶ μὴ φανερωθῇ ἡ αἰσχύνη τῆς γυμνότητός σου, καὶ κολλούριον ⸀ἐγχρῖσαιτοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου ἵνα βλέπῃς.
19 “Wale niwapendao, ninawakemea na kuwaadibisha. Hivyo uwe na bidii ukatubu.
ἐγὼ ὅσους ἐὰν φιλῶ ἐλέγχω καὶ παιδεύω· ⸀ζήλευεοὖν καὶ μετανόησον.
20 Tazama! Nasimama mlangoni nabisha. Kama mtu yeyote akisikia sauti yangu na kufungua mlango, nitaingia ndani na kula pamoja naye, naye pamoja nami.
ἰδοὺ ἕστηκα ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν καὶκρούω· ἐάν τις ἀκούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ ἀνοίξῃ τὴν θύραν, ⸀καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ δειπνήσω μετʼ αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς μετʼ ἐμοῦ.
21 “Yeye ashindaye nitampa haki ya kuketi pamoja nami kwenye kiti changu cha enzi, kama vile mimi nilivyoshinda na nikaketi pamoja na Baba yangu kwenye kiti chake cha enzi.
ὁ νικῶν δώσω αὐτῷ καθίσαι μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἐν τῷ θρόνῳ μου, ὡς κἀγὼ ἐνίκησα καὶ ἐκάθισα μετὰ τοῦ πατρός μου ἐν τῷ θρόνῳ αὐτοῦ.
22 Yeye aliye na sikio na asikie yale ambayo Roho ayaambia makanisa.”
ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.
