Chiunukuko 3
1 “Mwalembele katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Sadi. “Yeleyi ni yakuti jwali ni Mbumu saba sya Akunnungu ni ndondwa saba. Nguimanyilila isambo yenu, nkumanyika kuti nli jwanjumi nambo, usyene mmwile.
"And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: "He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these things: "I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
2 Njimuche, ngalimbisye agala gambone gagasigalile kukwenu ni gelego gakaika kuwa. Pakuŵa mpaka sambano nganinagaona masengo genu kuŵa gemalilwe paujo pa Akunnungu wangu.
Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which were about to die, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God.
3 Nipele nkumbuchile imwatite kupochela ni imwatite kupilikana ni imwatite kwitichisya yeleyo ni kugalauka ni kuleka sambi. Nambo iŵaga nganjimuka, chiiche mpela jwa wiyi, nomwe ngisimmanyilila ndaŵi jachinannyichilile.
Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you do not wake up, I will come as a thief, and you won't know what hour I will come to you.
4 Nambo nkwete ŵandu ŵangatupa ku Sadi ŵangananyakasya nguo syao. Ŵelewo chajende none ali awete iwalo yeswela pakuŵa akuŵajilwa.
Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
5 “Juchapunde chinawasye iwalo yeswela mpela ŵanyawo, none ngisinalityosya ng'o liina lyakwe mu chitabu cha umi. Sooni chinyitichisye kwa kang'wa jangu paujo pa Atati ŵangu, ni paujo pa achikatumetume ŵao ŵa kwinani kuti jwelejo ali jwangu.
He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the Book of Life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 “Jwakwete mapilikanilo gakupilikanila, apilikane agala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu gakwasalila mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
7 “Kwa katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Filadefia mwalembele yelei. “Yeleyi ni yakuti kusala ajula jwanswela ni jwausyenesyene, jwakwete ukombole wa kwalechela ŵandu ajinjile mu umwenye wakwe. Ni jwakuugula nnango, ni ngapagwa jwakukombola kuugala. Ni jwakuugala nnango ni ngapagwa jwakukombola kuugula.
"To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: "These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens:
8 Nguimanyilila ipanganyo yenu, ngumanyilila kuti nkwete machili gamanandi nambo nkamulisye liloŵe lyangu ni nganinlikana liina lyangu. Mpilikane! Misile paujo penu nnango weugule, ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kuugala.
"I know your works. Look, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have a little power, and have kept my word, and did not deny my name.
9 Mpilikane! Ngumpa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵa nyuumba ja kupopelela ja Shetani, ŵakuliŵilanga Ŵayahudi nambo nganaŵa ŵayahudi, nambo ali ŵakulambusya. Mpilikane! Chinaatende aichanje ni kuntindiŵalila paujo pa sajo syenu ni amanyilile kuti nannonyele.
Look, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie; look, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
10 Pakuŵa nlikamulisye liloŵe nkupililila, none jwakwe chinangose katema ka malagasyo, kakali chile kuchiichilila chilambo chose, kuti ŵaalinje ŵelewo ŵakutama pachilambo.
Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11 Ngwika chitema, muukamulisye kwannope utenga wa chikulupi umpochele, kuti mundu jwalijose anakombole kunsumula mbote jenu.
I am coming quickly. Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.
12 “Juchapunde chinantende aŵe luchanamila pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu nombe ngasakopoka mwelemo ng'o. Sooni chilembe pachanya pakwe liina lya Akunnungu ŵangu ni liina lya musi wa Akunnungu ŵangu, yaani Yelusalemu wa sambano, musi uchiutuluche kutyochela kwinani kwa Akunnungu ŵangu. Iyoyo chinembe pachanya pakwe liina lyangu lya sambano.
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
13 “Jwakwete mapilikanilo gakupilikanila, apilikane agala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu gakwasalila mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
14 “Mwalembele yeleyi katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Laodikia. “Uneji nguŵilanjikwa Eloo, jwaumboni jwakukulupilichika jwausyene, ndande ja yepanganyikwe yose yaigumbile Akunnungu, nguti yelei.
"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: "The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God's creation, says these things:
15 Nguimanyilila ipanganyo yenu, kuti nganimma ŵa kusisima atamuno ŵa mooto. Ikaliji mmbaya nkaliji ŵa kusisima pane ŵa mooto.
"I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
16 Nipele pakuŵa ndi ŵantukuta, nganimma ŵa kusisima namuno ŵa mooto, chinanlukule ntyoche mukang'wa jangu.
So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
17 Ligongo nkuti, ‘Ndili jwakusichila ni ngwete ipanje, ngangulajila chindu chachili chose.’ Nambo ngankumanyilila kuti nli jwausauchi ni jwakulaga ni jwaulanda ni jwangalola sooni nli matakope.
Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;' and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;
18 Ngumpa lunda kuti, nsuume kwangune sahabu jejenjetukule ni mooto, kuti nsichile ni kusuma iwalo yeswela kuti mbwale, ni kusisa soni sya kutama kwenu matakope. Iyoyopeyo nsuume ntela ni kupakala mmeeso genu kuti nkombole kulola.
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.
19 Uneji ngwajamuka ni kwalamula wose ŵangwanonyela. Nipele nlimbile ni kuleka sambi syenu.
As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Mpilikane! Ngwima pannango ni kupoposya, mundu apilikanaga liloŵe lyangu ni kuugula, chinyinjile kwa jwelejo, none chilye pamo ni jwelejo ni jwelejo pamo ni une.
Look, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.
21 “Juchapunde chinjalechelela kutama chiŵandi ni une pa chitengu changu cha umwenye, mpela une indite kupunda ni kutama chiŵandi ni Atati ŵangu pachitengu chao cha umwenye.
He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 “Jwakwete mapilikanilo gakupilikanila, apilikane agala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu gakwasalila mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.”
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
