Yohaannisa Qonccethaa 3
1 “Sarddeesa woosa keetha kiitanchchuwas hayssada yaagada xaafa. Laappun Xoossaa ayyaanatanne laappun xoolinttota oykkidayssi hayssada yaagees: Taani ne oosuwa erays; asi nena paxa de7ees giikkoka, ne hayqqadasa.
“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: 'The words of the one who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “I know what you have done. You have a reputation that you are alive, but you are dead.
2 Barkka! Guutha attidabaanne hayqqanaw matidabaa mintha. Ne oosoy Xoossaa sinthan polo gidonnayssa demmas.
Wake up and strengthen what remains, but is about to die, because I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God.
3 Hiza, ne ekkidabaanne si7idabaa akeeka; naaga; ne nagaraappe simma. Neeni barkkonna ixxiko ta kaysoda yaana; ta ay wode yaanekko ne erakka.
Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard. Obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come against you.
4 Shin bantta ma7uwa qitayonna guutha asati Sarddeesan de7oosona. Enttaw bessiyabaa gidiya gisho bootha ma7o ma7idi entti taara hamuttana.
But you have a few names in Sardis who have not stained their clothes, and they will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy.
5 Xooniya oonikka enttayssada bootha ma7o ma77ana. Taani iya sunthaa de7o maxaafappe quchchike. Taani ta Aawa sinthaninne iya kiitanchchota sinthan I tabaa gideyssa markkattana.
The one who conquers will be clothed in white garments, and I will never wipe his name out of the Book of Life, and I will speak his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Geeshsha Ayyaanay woosa keethatas giyabaa si7iya haythi de7iya oonikka si7o.
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”'”
7 “Filaadelfiya woosa keetha kiitanchchuwas hayssada yaagada xaafa. Geeshshaynne tumanchchoy, Dawite qulppiya ba kushen oykkidayssi, hayssada yaagees: i gorddin oonikka dooyanaw dandda7enna; qassi I dooyin oonikka gorddanaw dandda7enna.
“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: 'The words of the one who is holy and true— he holds the key of David, he opens and no one shuts, he shuts and no one can open.
8 Taani ne oosuwa eras; hekko ta ne sinthan oonikka gorddanaw dandda7onna dooya pengge wothas. Ne wolqqay guutha gidikkoka, ta qaalaa naagadasa; tana kaddabaakka.
“I know what you have done. Look, I have put before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have obeyed my word and have not denied my name.
9 Ayhude gidonnashin, banttana Ayhude giya worddotanne Xalahe baggata neekko ehananne ne sinthan gulbbatisana. Ta nena doseyssa enttana erisana.
Look! Those who belong to the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews but are not, but they are liars—I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will come to know that I loved you.
10 Neeni, ‘Gencca’ gada ta kiittida kiitaa naagida gisho, kumetha alamiya paccanaw yaa waaye wodiyappe taani nena naagana.
Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is coming on the whole world, to test those who live on the earth.
11 Taani ellesada yaana; oonikka ne kallachchaa ekkonna mela new de7iyabaa minthada oykka.
I am coming soon. Hold to what you have so no one can take away your crown.
12 Xoonidayssa ta Xoossa Keethan tuussu oothana; i yan merinaw daana. Taani ta Xoossaa sunthaanne ta Xoossaa katamaa sunthaa iya bolla xaafana; iyakka ta Xoossaa matappe wodhdhiya ooratha Yerusalaame. Qassi ta ta ooratha sunthaaka i bolla xaafana.
The one who conquers, I will make like a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, the name of the city of my God (the new Jerusalem, that comes down out of heaven from my God), and my new name.
13 Geeshsha Ayyaanay woosa keethatas giyabaa si7iya haythi de7iya oonikka si7o.
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”'”
14 “Loodoqiya woosa keetha kiitanchchuwas hayssada yaagada xaafa. ‘Amin7i’ gidida ammanettida tuma markkay, Xoossaa medhetethaa haareyssi hayssada yaagees.
“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: 'The words of the Amen, the reliable and true witness, the ruler over God's creation.
15 Taani ne oosuwa ubbaa erays; neeni irxxa woykko misha gidakka; neeni nam77aafe issuwa gidikko lo77o!
“I know what you have done, and that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot!
16 Neeni irxxa woykko misha gidonnashin, bol77o gidiya gisho ta nena ta doonappe cuttana hanays.
So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of my mouth.
17 Hiza, neeni, ‘Taani dure, shallora de7ays, taw aybibaykka paccibeenna’ yaagasa. Shin neeni metootanchcho, manqo, qooqenne kallotida asi gideyssa erakka.
For you say, 'I am rich, I have had many material possessions, and I need nothing.' But you do not know that you are most miserable, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
18 Hessa gisho, ne duretanaw taman geeyida worqqa, ne yeella kalluwa kammanaw bootha ma7onne loytha xeellanaw dandda7isiya ayfe dhale taappe shammana mela nena ta zorays.
Listen to my advice: Buy from me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and brilliant white garments so you may clothe yourself and not show the shame of your nakedness, and salve to anoint your eyes so you will see.
19 Ta doseyssa seeraysinne hanqays; hiza minna; ne nagaraappe simma.
I train everyone whom I love, and I teach them how they should live. Therefore, be earnest and repent.
20 Hekko, ta karen eqqada xeegays. Oonikka ta xeessaa si7idi, wulaa dooyikko, iyaakko gelana; iyara issife kathi maana; ikka taara issife maana.
Look, I am standing at the door and am knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into his home and will eat with him, and he with me.
21 Ta xoonada ta Aawara iya araatan uttidayssada xooniday taara ta araatan uttana mela maata immana.
The one who conquers, I will give him the right to sit down with me on my throne, just as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 Geeshsha Ayyaanay woosa keethatas giyabaa si7iya haythi de7ey si7o” yaagis.
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”'”
