Kuyubulula 3
1 Ku mutangunishi wa mubungano wa ku Saladisi komulembeleti, “Uwu ni mulumbe ulambwanga ne uyo ukute kwendelesha Mishimu isanu ne ibili ya Lesa, kayi ne nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili. Ndishinshi incito shakobe, nambi bantu balambangeti omuyumi, nomba obe wafwa.”
“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 Ndacaneti buyumi bwenu nkabwashikapo pa mwelo ngwalayandanga Lesa. Neco punduka mu tulo twakobe, yuminisha ico ncokute kacitana cifwililila.
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 Anuka ciyisho ncewalatambula, kayi ncewalanyumfwa. usunge shiya bwipishi bwakobe. Na ubule kupunduka, ndakesangeti kabwalala, nteti ukenshibe cindi nceti nkese.
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 Nomba nkobali bang'ana uko ku Saladisi babula kusafwanya minjila yabo, nibakende ne njame kabali bafwala minjila ituba tuu, pakwinga cabelela.
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 Abo beti bakakome bwipishi nibakafwale minjila ituba mbuli ili. Nteti nkafunyemo maina abo mu libuku lya buyumi. Ndakemananga pamenso a Bata ne bangelo ninkambeti, aba nibakame.
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 “Uyo ukute matwi anyumfwe cilambanga Mushimu Uswepa ku mibungano!”
He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
7 Ku mutangunishi wa mubungano wa ku Filadelufiya komulembeleti, “Uwu ni mulumbe ulafumunga ku muntu waswepa kayi wa ncine ncine, uyo ukute cakucalwisha mbuli ncalikukute mwami Dafeti, na lacalulu cishinga paliya wela kucicala sobwe, kayi na lacicala paliya wela kucicalula.
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 Incito shakobe ndishinshi, ndicinsheti ukute ngofu shing'ana. Ulakonkonga ciyisho cakame, kayi washomeka kuli njame. Ndacalula cishinga pantangu pakobe paliya wela kucicala sobwe.”
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 Konyumfwa! Pali bantu bali kulubasu lwa Satana, balalibepengeti ni Bayuda kakuli ntebo Bayuda, ninkalengesheti bakese bakasuntame mulimfwa lyakobe. Mpweshi bakenshibeti ndikusuni.
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 Pakwinga ulapitilishi kunyumfwila milawo yakame kwakubula kubwelela kunyuma, ne njame ninkakucingilishe mu cindi ca mapensho alesanga kwisa kusunka bantu bonse pa cishi capanshi.
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 Ndesanga lino lino. Ikatisha ca makasa abili ico ncokute kwambeti kapataba muntu eti akunyongomone cilambo.
Behold, I come quickly, be holding fast that which you have, that no one may receive your garland.
12 Uliyense eshi akakome nakabe ntabo mu Ng'anda ya Lesa wakame, nteti bakafumemo. Ninkalembe lina lya Lesa wakame ne lya Yelusalemu wa lino lino uyo lakaselukunga kwilu kuli Lesa. Kayi nenjame ninkalembe lina lyakame lya lino lino palyendibo.
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 “Ukute matwi anyumfwe cilambanga Mushimu Uswepa ku mibungano!”
He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
14 Kuli mutangunishi wa mubungano wa ku Laodikaya komulembeleti, “Uwu e mulumbe ulafumunga kuli uyo ukute kukwiweti, Ameni, kamboni washomeka kayi wa ncine ncine, citente ca byonse byalalengwa ne Lesa.
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 Ndicinshi ncolenshinga pakwinga ndicinsheti nkowatontola nambi kulungula, nsombi ndayandishishanga kwambeti ucanike ku lubasu lumo!
I have known your works, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish you were cold or hot.
16 Nomba pakwinga wakasala nkowalungula nambi kutontola, nindikusanke!”
So—because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit you out of My mouth;
17 Ha! ulambangeti, omubile ntobe mupenshi, ukute byonse. Nomba ukute malele, omukandu kayi ukute kupesha nkumbo, uli matakosha kayi washipilwa.
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 Leka ndikupeko mano, kwesa uleko golide waswepa kuli njame kwambeti ube mubile. Kayi wise uleko cikwisa cituba nceti ufwalenga kwambeti kotaboneshanga matakosha eshikupesha nsoni. Kayi wise uleko mafuta akunana ku menso kwambeti ubonenga cena.
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 Nkute kukansa nekupa cisubulo bantu mbonsuni. Neco, koba wakangwabu leka bwipishi.
As many as I cherish, I convict and discipline; be zealous, then, and convert;
20 Konyumfwa! Ndemana pa cishinga ndakonkoshunga, uliyense lanyumfunga maswi akame ne kucalulako, ninkengile mung'anda ne kuya kulya pamo nendiye, neye nakalye pamo nenjame
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 Abo beti bakakome ninkabasuminishe kwambeti nabo bekale pa bipuna bya bulemu bili pambali pa cipuna cakame cabwendeleshi, mbuli ne njame ncendekala pa cipuna cabwendeleshi cili pambali pa cipuna ca bulemu ca Bata pakwinga ndalakoma.
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 “Ukute matwi anyumfwe cilambanga Mushimu Uswepa ku mibungano!”
He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
