Adiyisɛm 3
1 “Kyerɛw krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfo a ɔwɔ asafo a ɛwɔ Sardi no se: Eyi ne asɛm a efi nea ɔwɔ Onyankopɔn ahonhom ason ne nsoromma ason no nkyɛn. Minim nea woreyɛ. Minim sɛ woagye din sɛ wote ase, nanso woawu.
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 art dead.
2 Enti nyan, na kanyan nea aka wɔ wo nkyɛn no na anwu koraa. Efisɛ mahu sɛ nea woayɛ no nnya nnii mu wɔ Onyankopɔn anim ɛ.
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
3 Kae nea wɔkyerɛɛ wo no ne sɛnea wotee no. Di so na twe wo ho fi wo bɔne ho. Sɛ woankanyan wo ho a, mɛba wo so sɛ ɔkorɔmfo, na worenhu bere ko a mɛba.
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Nanso mo mu kakraa bi a wɔwɔ Sardi no mfaa wiase nkekae nkekaa wɔn ntade mu ɛ. Wɔbɛhyɛ ntade fitaa na wɔne me anantew, efisɛ ɛsɛ, wɔfata sa.
Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 Nea obedi nkonim no bɛhyɛ atade fitaa sɛ wɔn ara, na merentwa ne din mfi ateasefo nhoma no mu da. Na mɛda ne din adi wɔ mʼAgya no ne nʼabɔfo anim sɛ ɔyɛ me dea.
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Nea ɔwɔ aso no ntie nea Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo no.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
7 “Kyerɛw krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfo a ɔwɔ asafo a ɛwɔ Filadelfia no se: Eyi ne asɛm a efi nea ɔyɛ kronkron na ɔyɛ nokware na okura Dawid safe no nkyɛn. Nea obue a, obi ntumi nto mu na sɛ ɔto mu nso a, obi ntumi mmue no.
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 no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth:
8 Minim nea woyɛ. Minim sɛ wowɔ tumi kakra. Woadi me nkyerɛkyerɛ no so, nam so adi me nokware. Mabue ɔpon bi wɔ wʼanim a obi ntumi nto mu.
I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Tie! Kuw a ɔbonsam afa wɔn no, saa atorofo a wɔka se wɔyɛ Yudafo nanso wɔnyɛ bi no, mɛma wɔaba wʼanim abebu wo nkotodwe. Wɔn nyinaa behu sɛ medɔ wo.
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and 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 Esiane sɛ woadi me mmara so anya boasetɔ nti, sɛ ɔhaw a ɛreba wiase nyinaa de bɛsɔ asase so nnipa nyinaa ahwɛ no ba a, megye wo afi mu.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Mereba nnansa yi ara. Kora wʼagyapade, na obi anwia wo nkonim abotiri no.
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 Nea obedi nkonim no, mɛyɛ no odum wɔ me Nyankopɔn asɔredan mu, na ɔremfi mu bio da. Mɛkyerɛw me Nyankopɔn din ne me Nyankopɔn kurow din a ɛyɛ Yerusalem foforo a ebefi ɔsoro, me Nyankopɔn nkyɛn aba no agu ne ho. Bio, mɛkyerɛw me din foforo agu ne ho.
Him that overcometh, will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name.
13 Nea ɔwɔ aso no ntie nea Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo no.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
14 “Kyerɛw krataa yi kɔma ɔbɔfo a ɔwɔ Laodikea asafo mu no se: Eyi ne asɛm a efi Amen a ɔyɛ ɔdanseni nokwafo a ɔyɛ biribiara a Onyankopɔn bɔe no sodifo no nkyɛn.
And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 Minim nea woayɛ. Minim sɛ wonyɛ nwini nso wonyɛ hyew. Me pɛ ne sɛ anka wobɛyɛ mu baako.
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 Nanso esiane sɛ woyɛ boturobodwo, na wonyɛ hyew na wonyɛ nwini nti, merebɛte wo sɛ ntasu afi mʼanom.
So then, because thou art luke-warm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit thee out of my mouth:
17 Woka se, ‘meyɛ ɔdefo na manya me ho na mewɔ nea ehia me nyinaa.’ Nanso, wunnim hia a ahia wo ne mmɔbɔ a woyɛ. Woyɛ ohiani. Woda adagyaw, na wʼani afura.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 Enti mitu wo fo sɛ tɔ sikakɔkɔɔ, sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa, fi me nkyɛn, sɛnea ɛbɛma woayɛ ɔdefo. Afei, tɔ ntade fitaa hyɛ na fa kata wʼanimguase adagyaw no so. Afei tɔ aduru gu wʼani so, sɛnea wubehu ade.
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eye-salve, that thou mayest see.
19 Mekɔ so twe wɔn a medɔ wɔn no nyinaa aso. Enti bɔ mmɔden na twe wo ho fi bɔne ho.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Tie! Migyina ɔpon no akyi rebɔ mu; sɛ obi te me nne na obue ɔpon no a, mɛba mu na me ne no adidi na ɔno nso ne me adidi.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: If any man shall hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 Mɛma nkonimdifo no atena mʼahengua no ho, sɛnea madi nkonim nti, mete mʼAgya ahengua ho mprempren no.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me on my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father on his throne.
22 Sɛ wowɔ aso a, ɛno de tie nea Honhom no ka kyerɛ asafo no.”
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
