1 “Udu kiti nnan kadura Kutelle kutyi nliran in Sardisu: 'Tigbulang nlenge na amere min ti Ruhu kuzor nin niyini kuzor nyiru ile imon na usu udin nfo figiri uu fe dinin nlai, bara nani fe unan kulari.
And to the angel of the church of Sardis, write: These things saith he, that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast the name of being alive: and thou art dead.
2 Fita ukpin agang kiti nile imon na ilawa, idaduru ukuu, bara na nyene katwa fe kulun nanya nyenju kutelle nighe ba.
Be watchful and strengthen the things that remain, which are ready to die. For I find not thy works full before my God.
3 Bara nan lizino, ile imon na usere uminin lanza. Dofino inin, udiu kutyin. Meng ba dak nafo ukiri na uba yinnu kubi ko na nba dak kitife ba.
Have in mind therefore in what manner thou hast received and heard: and observe, and do penance. If then thou shalt not watch, I will come to thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come to thee.
4 Ama tisa namong duk cinglin nan nya Sardisu alenge na ita imon mine indinong ba. Inung ba cinu nan mi, nin kuyok nimon iboo, bara idi dert.
But thou hast a few names in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments: and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
5 Ulenge na ase unasara iba shonghe kulutuk kuboo, tutun na mba wesu lisa mye nanya kaffa nlai ba, mba bellu lisa mye nbun ncif nighe nin nbun nanan kadura mye.
He that shall overcome, shall thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Andi udinin natuf, lanza ile imon na uruhu din bellu nilarin nliran.”
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
7 Udu kiti nnan kadura in Filidelfiya, Tigbulang nlenge na adi lau nin kidegen, ame min imon npunu kitin Dauda, asa apuno, na umon wasa atursu ba, asa a tursu na umonn wasa apuno ba.
And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia, write: These things saith the Holy One and the true one, he that hath the key of David; he that openeth, and no man shutteth; shutteth, and no man openeth:
8 Meng yiru imon ile na usu, yene, ubunfe kibulun duku ka na upuno, na umon wasa atursu ba, nyiru likara fe di baat, nin nani udin dortu tigbulang nighe, tutun na uta amusu lisa nighe ba.
I know thy works. Behold, I have given before thee a door opened, which no man can shut: because thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Su ucaa! Alenge na idi anan kutyi nlira shetan, alenge na idin su inug a Yahudawari, ana nanere ba-idin su kinuwari nani, nba ti nani ida tumun nbun nabunu fe, iba da yinnu au meng dinin su fe.
Behold, I will bring of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will make them to come and adore before thy feet. And they shall know that I have loved thee.
10 Tunda na una ceo uduka nighe, utere kibinai nin hankuri, mba minfi kubi kongo na iba dumunfi, na ku ba dak vat inye, iba dumunu alenge na isosin nan nyya inye.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will also keep thee from the hour of the temptation, which shall come upon the whole world to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Meng din cinu deddei. Minno ile imon na udumun gangang bara na umong wa bullu litapa fe ba.
Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 Meng ba ti ulenge na ase unasara aso litino nanya kilari nliran Kutelle, na aba nuzu nanye ba, nba nyertin ghe lisa Kutelle nighe, lisa kipin Kutelle (Urushalima upese ule na utolo unuzu kitene kani kiti Kutelle), nin lisa lipese nighe.
He that shall overcome, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; and he shall go out no more; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.
13 Ame ulenge na adumun natuf, na alanza ile unon na Uruhu din belle niliran nlirag.'
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
14 “Nyerte Udu kiti nanan kadura kilari nliran nanya in Lawudikiya: 'Tigbulang uso nani, iyizi nba in kidegen udya nanya makeke Kutelle.
And to the angel of the church of Laodicea, write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, who is the beginning of the creation of God:
15 Meng yiru ile imon na udin su, nafe di cancam ba, ana udin npiu ba, ndi nyenju nafo uwadi cancam sa npiu!
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot.
16 Nani, bara na udi bidibidi-na udi cancam ba ana udin piu ba-Meng ba tuffunfi nanya nnuu nighe.
But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth.
17 Bara fe nworo, “Meng dimun nimon nacara, na ndira imomon ba.” Anafe yiru fere di ba fere di hem, unan kunekune, ukimon, uduu, nin lenge na adi fisere.
Because thou sayest: I am rich, and made wealthy, and have need of nothing: and knowest not, that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
18 Lanza ushawara nighe: Sere azurfa kiti nighe, alle na ina dumun anin kiti nlah, bara unan so unan nimon nacara, nin njinjin, nin kulutuk kulau, ishon bara iwa yenefi fisere ulanza ncin, a ukan uti niyizife unan yene kiti.
I counsel thee to buy of me gold fire tried, that thou mayest be made rich; and mayest be clothed in white garments, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 Vat nlenge na ndinin su mye, asa ntaghe libau ndursuzoghe inda na aba su lisosin, bara nani, ta dedei udiu kutyin.
Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance.
20 Yene, Meng yisin kibulun ndi fowe, asa umon nlanza liwui nighe apuno kibulughe, Meng ba dak nan nya kilari mye, nba lii umonli nighe nighe, amye nin nmi.
Behold, I stand at the gate, and knock. If any man shall hear my voice, and open to me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 Ulenge na ase unasara, Meng ba yinin ghe aso nin mye, kuteet tigo nighe, nafo na Meng nasu unasara nmini sosin nin ncif nighe kuteet tigoo mye.
To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 Andi udinin natuf, lanza ile imon na uruhu din bellu nilari nlira.”
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
