Okubikkulirwa 3

1 “Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Saadi wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo alina emyoyo omusanvu egya Katonda n’emmunyeenye omusanvu nti, Mmanyi ebikolwa byo, ng’olina erinnya eriraga nti oli mulamu so nga oli mufu.

“And to the messenger of the assembly in Sardis write: These things says He who is having the Seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I have known your works, and that you have the name that you live, and you are dead;

2 Kale weegendereze onyweze ebikyasigaddewo ebitannafa. Kubanga mu by’okola sinnalabamu by’otuukiriza mu maaso ga Katonda wange.

be watching, and strengthen the rest of the things that are about to die, for I have not found your works fulfilled before God.

3 Kale jjukira bye wayigirizibwa ne bye wawulira obikwate era weenenye. Bw’otegendereze ndijja mangu ng’omubbi, so tolimanya ssaawa gye ndijjiramu gy’oli.

Remember, then, what you have received and heard, and keep [it] and convert: if, then, you may not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you may not know what hour I will come on you.

4 Naye waliwo abamu mu Saadi abatonotono abatayonoonanga byambalo byabwe, balitambula nange nga bambadde engoye enjeru, kubanga basaanidde.

You have a few names even in Sardis who did not defile their garments, and they will walk with Me in white, because they are worthy.

5 Na buli awangula alyambazibwa engoye enjeru nga bali, era sirisangula linnya lye mu kitabo ky’obulamu, naye ndyatula erinnya lye mu maaso ga Kitange ne bamalayika be nti oyo muntu wange.

The [one] thus overcoming will be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Scroll of Life, and I will confess his name before My Father, and before His messengers.

6 Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.

He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

7 “Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Firaderufiya wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo Omutukuvu era ow’amazima era alina ekisumuluzo kya Dawudi aggulawo ne wataba aggalawo, n’okuggalawo ne wataba aggulawo.

And to the messenger of the assembly in Philadelphia write: These things says the Holy [One], the True [One], having the key of David, the [One] opening and no one will shut, and shutting and no one opens:

8 Mmanyi ebikolwa byo. Laba nkugguliddewo oluggi, omuntu yenna lw’atayinza kuggala; kubanga olina amaanyi matono, okuumye ekigambo kyange n’oteegaana linnya lyange,

I have known your works; behold, I have set before you a door having been opened, which no one is able to shut it, because you have little power, and yet have kept My word, and have not denied My Name;

9 laba nnyinza okuwaayo abamu ku abo ab’omu kuŋŋaaniro lya Setaani abeeyita Abayudaaya; laba ndibaleeta okuvuunama ku bigere byammwe bategeere nti mbaagala.

behold, I give from the synagogue of Satan—those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them that they may come and prostrate before your feet, and may know that I loved you.

10 Olwokubanga wakwata ekigambo kyange eky’okugumiikiriza, nange ndikuwonya ekiseera eky’okugezesebwa ekinaatera okujja.

Because you kept the word of My endurance, I also will keep you from the hour of the trial that is about to come on all the world, to try those dwelling on the earth.

11 Nzija mangu! Nnyweza ky’olina waleme kubaawo akutwalako ngule yo.

Behold, I come quickly, be holding fast that which you have, that no one may receive your garland.

12 Awangula ndimufuula empagi mu Yeekaalu ya Katonda wange, mw’ataliva emirembe gyonna, era ndimuwandiikako erinnya lya Katonda wange, n’erinnya ly’ekibuga kya Katonda wange, Yerusaalemi ekiggya nga kikka okuva mu ggulu eri Katonda wange n’erinnya lyange eriggya.

He who is overcoming—I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he may not go outside anymore, and I will write on him the Name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, that comes down out of Heaven from My God—also My new Name.

13 Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.

He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

14 “Eri malayika ow’Ekkanisa ey’omu Lawodikiya wandiika nti: Bw’ati bw’ayogera oyo Amiina, omujulirwa, omwesigwa, ow’amazima, omukulu w’abaliwo, n’abalibaawo emirembe gyonna, era ensibuko y’ebitonde bya Katonda.

And to the messenger of the assembly of the Laodiceans write: These things says the Amen, the Witness—the Faithful and True—the Chief of the creation of God:

15 Mmanyi ebikolwa byo: toyokya so tonnyogoga, nandiyagadde obe ng’oyokya oba ng’onnyogoga.

I have known your works, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish you were cold or hot.

16 Naye olwokubanga oli wa kibuguumirize toyokya so tonnyogoga, kinaandetera okukuwandula okuva mu kamwa kange.

So—because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit you out of My mouth;

17 Olwokubanga ogamba nti, ‘Ndi mugagga era nnina ebintu bingi, sso siriiko kye neetaaga. Sirina kimbulako!’ Sso n’otomanya ng’oli munaku asaasirwa, omwavu, omuzibe w’amaaso era ali obwereere.

because you say—I am rich, and have grown rich, and have need of nothing, and have not known that you are the wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked;

18 Nkuwa amagezi onguleko ebya zaabu, eyalongoosebwa mu muliro, olyoke ogaggawale. Era onguleko ebyambalo ebyeru, obyambale, owone ensonyi ez’okuyita obwereere; onguleko n’omuzigo osiige ku maaso go, osobole okulaba.

I counsel you to buy from Me gold fired by fire, that you may be rich, and white garments that you may be clothed, and the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed, and with eye-salve anoint your eyes, that you may see.

19 Buli gwe njagala mmunenya era mmukangavvula; kale nyiikira okwenenya.

As many as I cherish, I convict and discipline; be zealous, then, and convert;

20 Laba nnyimiridde ku luggi era nkonkona. Buli awulira eddoboozi lyange n’aggulawo, nnaayingira omumwe ne tuliira wamu ffembi.

behold, I have stood at the door, and I knock; if anyone may hear My voice, and may open the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me.

21 Buli awangula ndimukkiriza okutuula ng’anninaanye, ku ntebe yange ey’obwakabaka, nga nange bwe nawangula ne ntuula ne Kitange ku ntebe ye.

He who is overcoming—I will give to him to sit with Me in My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father in His throne.

22 Alina amatu awulire Omwoyo ky’agamba Ekkanisa ezo.”

He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
