Apokalipsia 3

1 Sarden den Eliçaco Aingueruari-ere scriba ieçóc, Iaincoaren çazpi spirituac eta çazpi içarrac dituenac gauca hauc erraiten citic. Baceaquizquiat hire obrác, ecen icena duc vici aicela, eta hila baitaiz.

“Write [this message] to the leader [MET] of the congregation in Sardis [city]: ‘I am saying these things [to you. I am] the one who can give [to people] all the power of God’s Spirit (OR, in whom is the Spirit of God who has all kinds of power; OR, [who has God’s Spirit, who is symbolized as] seven spirits), and [I am the one] who has the seven stars. I know everything that you have done. You [(pl)] appear to be alive [spiritually], but [you are so weak spiritually it is as though] you are dead [MET].

2 Aicén iratzarri eta confirmaitzac goitico hiltzera doacenac: ecen hire obrác eztitiát perfect eriden Iaincoaren aitzinean.

[Become aware of your spiritual need as though you were] awaking [from sleep] [MET], and strengthen [yourself spiritually, because you are so useless that you are like someone who is] about to die [MET]. [You must do this] because I know that my God considers that nothing that you do is satisfactory.

3 Aicén bada orhoit nola recebitu eta ençun vkan duán: eta beguireçác, eta dolu bequic. Bada baldin veilla ezpadeçac ethorriren nauc hiregana ohoina beçala, eta eztuc iaquinen cer orenez ethorriren naicén hiregana.

So then, keep remembering [God’s message, what] you accepted when you heard it. Obey it continually, and turn away from your sinful behavior. If [you do not become aware of your spiritual need and turn away from your] [MET] [sinful behavior], I will come to you [when you are not expecting me], as a thief [comes] [SIM]. You will never know at what time I will come to [judge] you.

4 Cembeit persona-ere badituc hic Sarden bere abillamenduac satsutu eztituztenic, eta ebiliren baitirade enequin abillamendu churitan: ecen digne dituc.

Nevertheless, [there] in Sardis you have a few members who [have not been doing what is wrong. It is as though they] have not soiled their garments [MET]. As a result, because they are worthy [to live with me], they will live with me [and will be pure in every way] [MET], [like people who are dressed] in [pure] white [clothing].

5 Garaita vkanen duena hala veztituren datec abillamendu churiz, eta eztiát haren icena iraunguiren vicitzeco liburutic, eta aithorturen diát haren icena neure Aitaren aitzinean, eta haren Aingueruén aitzinean.

Everyone who conquers [Satan] I will dress in these same white garments [MET] (OR, will be [pure in every way as though they are] dressed in these white garments), and I will never erase their names from the book [that contains the names of the people who have eternal] life. Instead, as my Father and his angels are listening, I will acknowledge that they [MTY] [belong to me].

6 Beharriric duenac ençun beça cer Spirituac

Everyone who wants to understand [MTY] must listen carefully to the message that [God’s] Spirit speaks to the congregations.’”

7 Eta Philadelphian den Eliçaco Aingueruäri scriba ieçóc, Sainduac eta Eguiatiac, ceinec baitu Dauid-en gakoa, ceinec irequiten baitu, eta nehorc ez ersten: eta ersten baitu, eta nehorc ez irequiten, gauça hauc erraiten citic:

“Write [this message] to the leader [MET] of the congregation in Philadelphia [city]: ‘I am saying these things [to you. I am] God’s Holy One, the True One. [Just like King] David had authority [MTY] [to allow people to enter the ancient city of Jerusalem, so I have the authority to allow people to enter] my kingdom. [I am] the one who opens [doors] so that no one can close them, and who closes doors so that no one can open them.

8 Baceaquizquiat hire obrác: huná, eman vkan drauát eure aitzinera bortha irequia, eta nehorc ecin erts ceçaquec hura: ceren indar gutibat baituc hic, eta beguiratu baituc ene hitza, eta ezpaituc renuntiatu ene icena.

I know everything you have done. Be aware that I have opened a door before you, a door that no one can close. [I know that although] there are not [many believers] (OR, much [spiritual] strength) [MTY] [in your congregation], you have obeyed what I say, and you have not denied [that you believe in] me [MTY].

9 Huna, eçarriren citiát Satanen synagogatic diradenac, bere buruäc Iudu eguiten baitituzté eta ezpaitirade, aitzitic gueçurra cioé: huna bada, eguinen diát ethor ditecen, eta adora deçaten hire oinén aitzinean, eta eçagut deçaten, ecen nic maite audala:

[I am aware that] some of your people meet together with those who [follow/worship] Satan. They claim to be Jews, but I know that they are not true Jews. They are lying. I will cause them to come to you and to bow down [humbly] at your feet and to acknowledge that I love you.

10 Ceren hic beguiratu vkan baituc ene patientiazco hitza, nic-ere hi beguiraturen aut tentationeco oren mundu guciaren gainera ethorteco denetic, lurreco habitanten phorogatzera.

Because you have paid attention to the message to endure patiently [when you suffered], I will keep you [safe from those who will try to harm you spiritually] during the period/time that is about to come. At that time [God will cause rebellious people] on the earth to suffer, in order that I can determine [whether they will turn away from their sins or not].

11 Huná, baniatorquec sarri: educac duána, nehorc har ezteçançát hire coroá.

I am coming soon. [So] continue believe firmly the [message] that you have received, in order that no one may cause you to lose the reward [that God has reserved for] you.

12 Garaita vkanen duena, neure Iaincoaren templean habe eguinen diát, eta eztuc guehiagoric camporat ilkiren, eta scribaturen diát haren gainean neure Iaincoaren icena, eta neure Iaincoaren ciuitatearen icena, cein baita, Ierusaleme berria, ene Iaincoaganic cerutic iautsia, eta neure icen berria.

I will make everyone who conquers [Satan secure]. They will stand in the temple of my God, [they will stand firm like] [MET] pillars, and they will remain there forever. I will mark them with the name of my God, [showing that they belong to him. I will also mark them] with the name of the city of my God, [showing that they will live there. That city is] the New Jerusalem, the city that my God will cause to descend down from heaven. [I will also mark them] with my new name, [showing that they belong to me].

13 Beharriric duenac ençun beça cer Spirituac erraiten drauen Elicey.

Everyone who wants to understand [MTY] must listen carefully to the message that [God’s] Spirit speaks to the congregations.’”

14 Laodicean den Eliçaco Aingueruäri-ere scriba ieçóc, Gauça hauc erraiten citic Amenec, testimonio fidelac eta eguiatiac, Iaincoaren creaturaren hatseac:

“Write [this message] to the leader [MET] of the congregation in Laodicea [city: ‘I] am saying these things [to you. I am] the one who (guarantees [everything that God’s promises/] that [he] will do [all that he has promised]) [MET]. I am the one who testifies [about God] reliably and accurately. I am the one who God used to create [everything].

15 Baceaquizquiat hire obrác, ecen ezaicela ez hotz ez eraquin: aihinz hotz edo eraquin.

I know everything that you have done: You [neither deny that you trust in me nor love/obey me zealously/wholeheartedly. You are like water that is] neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot!

16 Baina ceren eppel baitaiz, eta ezpaitaiz hotz ez eraquin, vomituren aut neure ahotic.

Because you are neither enthusiastic about me nor concerned about your lack of spiritual growth [MET], I am about to [reject] you [MET], [as if] I were spitting [lukewarm water] out of my mouth.

17 Ecen badioc, Abrats naiz, eta abrastu naiz, eta eztut deusen beharric: eta eztuc eçagutzen ecen dohacabe eta gaicho eta paubre eta itsu eta billuzgorri aicela.

You are saying, “[Because we have all that we need spiritually], we are [like] rich [people who] have acquired a lot of wealth. We lack nothing!” But you do not realize that you are [lacking in so many ways spiritually that you are like] [MET] people who are very wretched and pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.

18 Conseillatzen aut eros deçán eneganic vrrhe suz phorogatutic, abrats adinçát: eta abillamendu churriric, vezti adinçát, aggueri eztençat hire billuzgorritassunaren laidoa: eta collyrioz vncta ditzan eure beguiac, ikus deçançát.

I advise you [to obtain from me all that you need spiritually, as though you were] buying from me gold that has been refined by fire {that fire has refined}, in order that you may be [truly] rich [MET] [spiritually. Let me make you righteous, as though you were] [MET] buying from me white garments in order that you might wear clothes instead of being naked and ashamed. [Let me help you to perceive spiritual things, as though] [MET] you were buying from me eye salve to put in your eyes in order that you might see.

19 Nic maite ditudan guciac reprehenditzen eta gaztigatzen citiát: har eçac beraz zelo, eta dolu bequic.

[Since] I rebuke and correct all those whom I affectionately love, earnestly stop your sinful behavior.

20 Huná, borthan niagoc, eta bulkatzen diát: baldin cembeitec ençun badeça ene voza, eta borthá irequi badieçat, sarthuren nauc harengana eta affalduren nauc harequin eta hura enequin.

Be aware that [I invite each one of you to respond to me] as though [MET] I [was] standing [waiting] at [your] door and knocking. I will come to all those who hear my voice and respond to me, and I [will fellowship] with them [as friends do when they] eat together [MET].

21 Garaita vkanen duena iar eraciren diat neurequin, neure thronoan: nola nic-ere garaitu vkan baitut eta iarria bainago Aitarequin haren thronoan.

I will permit everyone who conquers [Satan] to sit [and rule] with me on my throne, just like I conquered [Satan] and now sit [and rule] beside my Father on his throne.

22 Beharriric duenac ençun beça cer Spirituac erraiten drauen Elicey.

Everyone who wants to understand [MTY] must listen carefully to the message that [God’s] Spirit speaks to the congregations.’”
