Revelasyon 3

1 Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Sad la. Di l' konsa: Men sa moun ki gen sèt Lespri Bondye yo ak sèt zetwal yo voye di ou: Mwen konnen tou sa w'ap fè. Mwen konnen tout moun konprann ou vivan. Men, ou mouri.

‘To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars; – I know your life, and that people say of you that you are living, though you are dead.

2 Souke kò ou, bay ti rès lavi ou rete a fòs anvan ou fin mouri nèt. Paske, mwen wè sa w'ap fè a pa fin kòrèk devan Bondye mwen an.

Be on the watch, and strengthen what still survives, though once it was all but dead; for I have not found your life perfect in the eyes of my God.

3 Chonje sa yo te moutre ou la. Chonje jan ou te resevwa li. Obeyi l', tounen vin jwenn Bondye. Si ou pa sispann dòmi, m'ap vini sou ou tankou yon vòlè, san ou pa atann.

Therefore remember what you have received and heard, and lay it to heart and repent. Unless you are on the watch, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I am coming to you.

4 Men, gen kèk moun nan nou nan lavil Sad la ki te kenbe rad yo pwòp. Y'a mache ansanm avè m' ak rad blan yo, paske yo merite sa.

Yet there are some few among you at Sardis who did not soil their robes; they will walk with me, robed in white, for they are worthy.

5 Tout moun ki goumen jouk yo genyen batay la pral mete rad blan an sou yo. Mwen p'ap wete non yo nan liv ki gen non moun ki gen lavi a. M'ap rekonèt yo pou moun pa m' devan Papa mwen ak devan zanj li yo.

Those who conquer will be clothed in these white robes, and I will not strike their name out of the book of life; but I will own them before my Father, and before his angels.

6 Se pou moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo.

Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

7 Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Filadèlfi a. Di l' konsa: Moun ki sen an, moun k'ap di verite a, moun ki gen kle wa David la nan men l' lan, moun ki lè li louvri pesonn pa ka fèmen, lè l' fèmen pesonn pa ka louvri a, men sa l' voye di ou:

‘To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the Key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and shuts and no one opens:

8 Mwen konnen tou sa w'ap fè. Mwen konnen ou pa gen anpil kouraj. Malgre sa, w'ap kenbe pawòl mwen. Ou pa lage mwen. Mwen louvri yon pòt devan ou, pesonn p'ap ka fèmen li.

I know your life (see, I have set a door open before you which no one is able to shut), I know that, though you have but little strength, you kept my teaching in mind, and did not disown my name.

9 Men, pou moun ki fè pati gwoup Satan an, bann mantò sa yo k'ap pran pòz jwif yo men ki pa jwif, m'ap fòse yo vin mete ajenou devan ou pou yo ka respekte ou. Se pou yo rekonèt se ou menm mwen renmen.

Listen, I give some of the congregation of Satan, the people who declare that they are God’s people, though they are not, but are lying – I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will learn that I loved you.

10 Menm jan ou te kenbe lòd mwen te ba ou lè m' te mande ou pou te pran pasians lan, konsa tou, m'a kenbe ou, m'a pwoteje ou nan malè ki pral vin sou tout latè a. Se va yon gwo eprèv pou tout moun ki sou latè.

Because you kept in mind the story of my endurance, I will keep you in the hour of trial that is about to come on the whole world, the hour that will test all who are living on earth.

11 Anvan lontan mapral vini. Kenbe sa ou genyen an fèm pou pesonn pa wete rekonpans ou nan men ou.

I will come quickly. Hold to what you have received so that no one may take your crown.

12 Tout moun ki va goumen jouk yo genyen batay la, m'ap fè yo tounen yon gwo poto nan kay Bondye a. Apre sa, yo p'ap janm soti. M'a make non Bondye ansanm ak non lavil Bondye a, lòt Jerizalèm k'ap desann sot nan sièl la, sou yo. M'ap make lòt non mwen an sou yo tou.

Those who conquer – I will make them a pillar in the Temple of my God; and never more will they leave it; and I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God, and I will write on them my new name.

13 Se pou tout moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo.

Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

14 Ekri zanj legliz ki nan lavil Lawodise a. Di l' konsa: Moun ki verite a, moun k'ap di verite a jan l' ye a san bay manti, li menm ki sous tou sa Bondye kreye a, men sa li voye di ou:

‘To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Unchanging One, the witness faithful and true, the beginning of the Creation of God:

15 Mwen konnen tou sa w'ap fè. Mwen konnen ou pa ni cho ni frèt. Pito ou te cho osinon ou te frèt.

I know your life; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. If only you were either cold or hot!

16 Men, ou kièd, ou pa cho, ou pa frèt. Mwen pral vonmi ou soti nan bouch mwen.

But now, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

17 W'ap plede di: Mwen rich, zafè m' ap mache byen. Mwen pa manke anyen. Pòdiab! Konnen ou pa konnen jan ou malere, jan ou nan gwo nesesite, jan ou pòv, toutoni ak tou de je ou yo pete!

You say “I am rich and have grown rich, and I want for nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, naked!

18 Se poutèt sa, mwen ta ba ou konsèy achte nan men m' bon lò san melanj ki pase nan dife. Konsa ou va rich tout bon. Achte nan men m' tou rad blan pou mete sou ou pou moun pa wè jan ou toutouni. Sa se yon wont pou ou. Achte nan men m' tou renmèd pou mete nan je ou pou ou ka wè.

Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold which has been refined by fire so that you may grow rich; and white robes, so that you may be clothed and your shameful nakedness be hidden; and ointment to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.

19 Moun mwen renmen se yo mwen korije, se yo mwen peni. Mete plis aktivite nan sèvis ou. Tounen vin jwenn Bondye.

All whom I love I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be in earnest and repent.

20 Koute. Men mwen kanpe la devan pòt la, m'ap frape. Si yon moun tande vwa m', si l' louvri pòt la ban mwen, m'a antre lakay li, m'a manje ansanm avè l', la manje ansanm avèk mwen.

I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will go in, and will feast with them, and they will feast with me.

21 Tout moun ki goumen jouk yo genyen batay la, m'ap ba yo dwa chita bò kote m' lè m'a sou fòtèy mwen an, menm jan mwen menm mwen te goumen jouk mwen te genyen batay la, pou koulye a mwen chita bò kot Papa m' ki chita sou fòtèy li a.

To those who conquer – to them I will give the right to sit beside me on my throne, as I, when I conquered, took my seat beside my Father on his throne.

22 Se pou moun ki gen zòrèy pou yo tande tande sa Lespri Bondye a ap di legliz yo.

Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’
