Uruyan Yuhana 3

1 “Udu kiti nnan kadura Kutelle kutyi nliran in Sardisu: 'Tigbulang nlenge na amere min ti Ruhu kuzor nin niyini kuzor nyiru ile imon na usu udin nfo figiri uu fe dinin nlai, bara nani fe unan kulari.

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 Fita ukpin agang kiti nile imon na ilawa, idaduru ukuu, bara na nyene katwa fe kulun nanya nyenju kutelle nighe ba.

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 Bara nan lizino, ile imon na usere uminin lanza. Dofino inin, udiu kutyin. Meng ba dak nafo ukiri na uba yinnu kubi ko na nba dak kitife ba.

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 Ama tisa namong duk cinglin nan nya Sardisu alenge na ita imon mine indinong ba. Inung ba cinu nan mi, nin kuyok nimon iboo, bara idi dert.

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 Ulenge na ase unasara iba shonghe kulutuk kuboo, tutun na mba wesu lisa mye nanya kaffa nlai ba, mba bellu lisa mye nbun ncif nighe nin nbun nanan kadura mye.

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 Andi udinin natuf, lanza ile imon na uruhu din bellu nilarin nliran.”

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

7 Udu kiti nnan kadura in Filidelfiya, Tigbulang nlenge na adi lau nin kidegen, ame min imon npunu kitin Dauda, asa apuno, na umon wasa atursu ba, asa a tursu na umonn wasa apuno ba.

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 Meng yiru imon ile na usu, yene, ubunfe kibulun duku ka na upuno, na umon wasa atursu ba, nyiru likara fe di baat, nin nani udin dortu tigbulang nighe, tutun na uta amusu lisa nighe ba.

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 Su ucaa! Alenge na idi anan kutyi nlira shetan, alenge na idin su inug a Yahudawari, ana nanere ba-idin su kinuwari nani, nba ti nani ida tumun nbun nabunu fe, iba da yinnu au meng dinin su fe.

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 Tunda na una ceo uduka nighe, utere kibinai nin hankuri, mba minfi kubi kongo na iba dumunfi, na ku ba dak vat inye, iba dumunu alenge na isosin nan nyya inye.

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 Meng din cinu deddei. Minno ile imon na udumun gangang bara na umong wa bullu litapa fe ba.

I come quickly: keep that which you have, so that no one may take your crown.

12 Meng ba ti ulenge na ase unasara aso litino nanya kilari nliran Kutelle, na aba nuzu nanye ba, nba nyertin ghe lisa Kutelle nighe, lisa kipin Kutelle (Urushalima upese ule na utolo unuzu kitene kani kiti Kutelle), nin lisa lipese nighe.

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 Ame ulenge na adumun natuf, na alanza ile unon na Uruhu din belle niliran nlirag.'

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

14 “Nyerte Udu kiti nanan kadura kilari nliran nanya in Lawudikiya: 'Tigbulang uso nani, iyizi nba in kidegen udya nanya makeke Kutelle.

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 Meng yiru ile imon na udin su, nafe di cancam ba, ana udin npiu ba, ndi nyenju nafo uwadi cancam sa npiu!

I have knowledge of your works, that you are not cold or warm: it would be better if you were cold or warm.

16 Nani, bara na udi bidibidi-na udi cancam ba ana udin piu ba-Meng ba tuffunfi nanya nnuu nighe.

So because you are not one thing or the other, I will have no more to do with you.

17 Bara fe nworo, “Meng dimun nimon nacara, na ndira imomon ba.” Anafe yiru fere di ba fere di hem, unan kunekune, ukimon, uduu, nin lenge na adi fisere.

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 Lanza ushawara nighe: Sere azurfa kiti nighe, alle na ina dumun anin kiti nlah, bara unan so unan nimon nacara, nin njinjin, nin kulutuk kulau, ishon bara iwa yenefi fisere ulanza ncin, a ukan uti niyizife unan yene kiti.

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 Vat nlenge na ndinin su mye, asa ntaghe libau ndursuzoghe inda na aba su lisosin, bara nani, ta dedei udiu kutyin.

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 Yene, Meng yisin kibulun ndi fowe, asa umon nlanza liwui nighe apuno kibulughe, Meng ba dak nan nya kilari mye, nba lii umonli nighe nighe, amye nin nmi.

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 Ulenge na ase unasara, Meng ba yinin ghe aso nin mye, kuteet tigo nighe, nafo na Meng nasu unasara nmini sosin nin ncif nighe kuteet tigoo mye.

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 Andi udinin natuf, lanza ile imon na uruhu din bellu nilari nlira.”

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
