Revelation 3
1 —Sonika kuidi mbasi yi dibundu di Salide: “Tala, mantuba mutu wowo beki tsambudi di ziphevi zi Nzambi ayi tsambudi di zimbuetete: Nzebi mavanga maku; nzebi ti ngeyo wulembo monika ti widi moyo vayi widi wufua.
And to the angel of the church of Sardis, write: These things saith he, that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast the name of being alive: and thou art dead.
2 Luzibula meso, kindisa batu bobo basiedi ayi beka nduka fua. Bila mavanga maku ndisi mamona mafuana ko va ntuala Nzambi ama.
Be watchful and strengthen the things that remain, which are ready to die. For I find not thy works full before my God.
3 Tebuka moyo mu mambu momo wutambula ayi wuwa. Keba mawu ayi balula mavanga. Bila enati wukadi zibula meso, buna ndiela kuiza kuidi ngeyo banga muivi ayi wulendi zaba thangu ko yoyi ndiela kuizila kuidi ngeyo.
Have in mind therefore in what manner thou hast received and heard: and observe, and do penance. If then thou shalt not watch, I will come to thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come to thee.
4 Vayi muaki, widi ayi batu bankaka ku Salide basia bivisa minledi miawu ko; bawu bela diata yama va kimosi mu minledi miphembi bila badi bafuana.
But thou hast a few names in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments: and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
5 Woso wela nunga, niandi wela vuiku minledi miphembi ayi ndilendi kusuna ko dizina diandi mu buku yi moyo ayi ndiela kikinina dizina diandi va ntuala Dise diama ayi va ntuala zimbasi ziandi.
He that shall overcome, shall thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Bika woso widi matu kawa mambu mantuba pheve kuidi mabundu.”
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
7 —Sonika kuidi mbasi yi dibundu di Filadelifi: “Tala mantuba wunlongo, wukiedika, mutu wowo simbidi tsabi yi Davidi, mutu wowo widi ti niandi zibula buna kuisi ko mutu wulenda zibika; mutu wowo widi ti niandi zibika buna kuisi ko mutu wulenda zibula:
And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia, write: These things saith the Holy One and the true one, he that hath the key of David; he that openeth, and no man shutteth; shutteth, and no man openeth:
8 Nzebi mavanga maku. Tala nditudidi muelo wu zibuka va ntualꞌaku, muela wowo mutu kalendi zibika ko. Nzebi ti wusi ko zingolo ziwombo, ngeyo wukeba mambu mama ayi wusia tunuka ko dizina diama.
I know thy works. Behold, I have given before thee a door opened, which no man can shut: because thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Tala ndiela kuvana batu bobo badi mu nzo yi lukutukunu lu satana, bobo beti tuba ti badi Bayuda vayi basi Bayuda ko; vayi balembo vuni. Tala ndiela kubatumisa ayi kuba fukimisa va malu maku ayi bawu bela zaba ti minu ndizola.
Behold, I will bring of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will make them to come and adore before thy feet. And they shall know that I have loved thee.
10 Mu diambu wukebidi lutumunu luama mu ba mvibudulu; buna minu mamvama ndiela kukeba mu thangu yi thotolo yeka kuiza va nza mu diambu di tota batu bobo bamvuandanga va ntoto.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will also keep thee from the hour of the temptation, which shall come upon the whole world to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Ndieka kuiza nsualu; simbidila bumboti mambu momo madi yaku muingi mutu kabika kuziona budu ki ndungunu.
Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 Woso wela nunga, ndiela kunkitula dikunzi mu nzo yi Nzambi ama ayi kalendi buela totuka ko ku nganda. Ndiela sonika dizina di Nzambi ama mu niandi ayi dizina di divula di Nzambi ama, Yelusalemi dimona, dinkulumuka tona ku diyilu kuidi Nzambi ama ayi ndiela sonika dizina diama dimona mu niandi.
He that shall overcome, I will make him 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, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.
13 Bika woso widi matu kawa mantuba Pheve kuidi mabundu.”
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
14 —Sonika kuidi mbasi yi dibundu di Lawodise: “Tala mantuba Amen, mbangi yi kuikama ayi yi kiedika, thonono yi bivangu bi Nzambi:
And to the angel of the church of Laodicea, write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, who is the beginning of the creation of God:
15 Nzebi mavanga maku ayi nzebi ti wisi kadi kiozi ko, kadi mbazu ko. Muaki thidi ti wuba kiozi voti mbazu.
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot.
16 Sumbu didi ti widi wu vola, wusi kiozi ko voti mbazu ko, ndieka ku luka mu munuꞌama.
But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth.
17 Bu wulembo tubi: minu ndidi nkua kimvuama; ndibeki kimvuama kiwombo ayi ndisi kadi mfunu wu kima ko. Vayi ngeyo wukadi zaba ti ngeyo widi nkua mabienga ayi nkua kiadi; widi nsukami, phofo ayi pheni nkua widi.
Because thou sayest: I am rich, and made wealthy, and have need of nothing: and knowest not, that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
18 Diawu ndikuvanina dilongi diadi: bika wusumba kuidi minu nolo yi viokoso ku mbazu muingi wukituka nkua kimvuama. Sumba kuidi minu minledimiphembi muingi wuvuata ayi tsoni yi kipheni kiaku yibika monika ayi sumba nkisi mu dakisa mu meso maku muingi wumona.
I counsel thee to buy of me gold fire tried, that thou mayest be made rich; and mayest be clothed in white garments, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 Minu ndieti tubidila ayi ndieti vana babo bobo ndieti zolathumbudulu. Bika wumonisa bufula ayi balula mavanga.
Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance.
20 Tala, minu thelimini va muelo ayi ndilembo kokuta. Enati mutu wilu mbemboꞌama ayi zibudi muelo, buna, ndiela kota kuidi niandi ayi ndiela dia yandi va kimosi, ayi, niandi wela dia va kimosi ayi minu.
Behold, I stand at the gate, and knock. If any man shall hear my voice, and open to me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 Woso wela nunga, ndiela kumvana minsua mu vuanda yama va kimosi va kundu ki kipfumu banga minu bu ndinungina ayi ndivuandila va kimosi ayi Dise diama va kundu kiandi ki kipfumu.
To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 Bika woso widi matu kawa mantuba pheve kuidi mabundu.”
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
