Oufunuo 3
1 Hu ntumwa owi kanisa elya Sardi simba: 'Amazu ogola yakhatilila zila empepo saba ezya Ngolobhe ne ntondwe saba. “Emenye hashele obhombile. Oli ne sifa eyaje olimwomi o-lifwe.
"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 Bhoha ogabheshesawa gagasageye, lelo gabhali gagapalamie afwe, afwatanaje sengalolile amambo gaho gakamilishe pamaso pa Ngolobhe wane.
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 Eshi izuha galagohaga posheye nagate jezye. Gogope mahweteshe. Lelo nkashele, sobhoha, ehayenza nashiomwibha sogohaimanya esala elihu yeha yenzela huliwe.
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 Lelo huli na matawa mashe agabhantu hu Sardi bhashele sebha ilufizye. Amenda gabho bhaijenda pandwemo nane, bhakwete amenda amazelu, afataneje bhaibhajila.
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 Ola yayimena aikwatiziwa amenda amazelu, sehailifuta itawa lyakwe afume hushitabu eshe hwomi, ehailitambula itawa lyakwe witagalila wa Baba wane, hwitagalila lya ntumi.
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 Nkoli ni kutu, tejezya Ompepo agabhozya amakanisa.”
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
7 Huntumi owikanisa lya Philadefia andika: Amazu yalimwinza nalyoli - yalinenfunkulo zya Daudi, afunga nomo yawezizye ahwigule.
"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 Emenye hashele obhembile. Enya ebheshele witagalila lyaho olyango gwagwiguliwe gwashele nomo yawezizye. Ahwigule emenye olinazyo enguvu hashe, lelo olyogope izu lyane nasolikhene itawa lyane.
"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 Enye! Bhonti bhabhali bhe kanisa lya setani, bhala bhabhayanga aje abhene Wayahudi nkombe sevebho, peshobhakhopela embabhabheshe bhenze. Ahwishe mmanamagane bhabhamanye aje ehagene.
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 Afatanaje obheshele endajizyo zyane avumilile hasa, embahulinde nesaa yaho, eyajalibiwe yashele ehwenza hunsi yonti, abhajalibu bhala bhoti bhabhakhala mnsi.
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 Ewenza nanali. Khatilila sana hala holinao asaliabhe omntu owahweje etaji yaho.
I am coming quickly. Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.
12 Embahubhombe oyo yamena abhe linyoha lyenyumba ya Ngolobhe wane, sagaaifuma hwonze nkahashe. Ehaisimba itawa lyakwe Ongolobhe wane, itawa elyeboma lya Ngolobhe wane (E Yelusalemu empya, yewiha pansi afume amwanya bha Ngolobhe wane), ni tawa lyane ipya.
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 Omwene yalinikutu, naayonvwe gashele Ompepo ayanga humakanisa.'
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
14 “Huntumi owikanisa lya Laodikia simba: 'Amazu gakwe gagali lyoli owategemele naoketi omwinza, omwanesho obhomba wa Ngolobhe.
"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 Emenye hashele obhombile, aje awe soli lisasa nantele mwoto nasongwaga aje obhe lisasa olwenje mwoto!
"I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
16 Afwatanaje awe olifugutizu, saga mwoto wala lisasa embahutapishe ofume mwilomu lyane.
So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
17 Afwataneje oyanga, “Ane endi neshoma, endi ne shoma shinyinji, sehwanza hahonti.” Lelo somenye aje awe olinsi sana, wazugumilile, pena, mpobhela nauliwelelo.
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 Tejezyo ulwanwo lwana: Kala huline edhahabu yeyoziwe humwoto opate abhe tajiri no mwenda ozeru gwagumelemeta okwatehwomwene osalanje welele waho, namafuta agapahale pamasogao obheolola.
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 Hata yegene ehulanganyinza nahufundizye shashihwanziwa akhale; wesho abhe hwelyoli na hweteshe.
As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Enya ehwemelela mndyanga ehwiguzya. Yayonti yahonvwa izu lyane nahwigula olyango, embahwenze nahwinjile mnyumba yakwe, nalye eshalyene hwo no mwene pandwemo nana.
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 Oyo yabhamene embahupele ehaki eyakale pansi pandwemo nane pamwanya pitengo lyane Igosi nashiane sehamenile nakhale pansi pandwemo no Baba wane pamwanya pitengo lyakwe igozi.
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 Oyo yali ni kutu, atejelezyaje gayanga Ompepo agabhozya amakanisa.”
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
