1 Sardis hlangboel kah puencawn te khaw daek pah. He rhoek he Pathen kah Mueihla parhih neh aisi parhih aka khueh loh a thui. Na khoboe te ka ming. Na hing ham ming na khueh dae aka duek la na om coeng te.

“Write this to the angel of the Sardis church: This is what the one who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars says: I know what you have accomplished, and that you give the appearance of being alive—but in reality you are dead.

2 Aka hak la om lamtah duek dalh la aka hoei rhoek te duel lah. Na khoboe te ka Pathen hmaiah a soep la ka hmuh moenih.

Wake up, and try to revive what is left that's about to die! For I have discovered that from the perspective of my God, nothing you've done has been finished.

3 Na dang neh na yaak te poek tangloeng laeh. Te phoeiah tuem lamtah yut laeh. Na sap uh tangloeng pawt koinih hlanghuen bangla ka pawk vetih nang taengla ka pawk tue te na ming loengloeng mahpawh.

So remind yourselves of how this message came to you, and what you heard. Observe what you were told to do, and repent. If you don't watch out, I'll come unexpectedly like a thief, and you won't know at what time I'll come to you!

4 Tedae a himbai te aka tii sak mueh te Sardis ah a ming bet na om uh. A tingtawk la a om uh dongah kai taengah a bok la pongpa uh ni.

But there are some among you in Sardis who have not ruined their clothes, and they will walk with me dressed in white, for they deserve to do so.

5 Aka noeng tah himbai bok neh a bai sak van. Te dongah a ming te hingnah cabu lamkah ka phaeh loengloeng mahpawh. Te vaengah a pa hmai neh a puencawn rhoek hmaiah anih ming te ka phoe ni.

Those who are victorious will be dressed in white like this. Their names will not be removed from the book of life, and I will speak for them in the presence of my Father and his angels.

6 Mueihla loh hlangboel rhoek taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh.

If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches.

7 Philadelphia hlangboel kah puencawn te khaw daek pah. Hlangcim loh he rhoek he a thui. Oltak, David kah cabi aka pom loh a ong phoeiah khai mahpawh. A khaih vaengah ong pah mahpawh.

Write this to the angel of the Philadelphia church: This is what the one says, the one who is holy and true, who has the key of David. He can open and nobody is able to shut, he can shut, and nobody is able to open:

8 Na khoboe te ka ming, na hmaiah ka khueh thohka te ong uh coeng he. Thaomnah” ayol na khueh dongah te te khaih ham a coeng moenih te. Tedae ka ol te kuem lamtah ka ming te basa tak boeh.

I know what you have accomplished—look, I've opened a door for you that no one can shut. I know that you only have a little strength, but you did what I told you, and you did not deny me.

9 Satan kah tunim lamloh kan saii ve he. Judah la om ham amah aka thui uh dae om uh pawt tih laithae uh. Amih te ha pawk uh vetih na kho hmaiah bakuep sak ham ka saii ni he. Te vaengah kai loh nang kan lungnah te a ming uh bitni.

From Satan's synagogue I will bring those who say they are Jews, (but are not, they are liars), making them come and worship at your feet, so that they will acknowledge that I love you.

10 Kai kah uehnah olka te na kuem dongah kai khaw nang te diklai hmankah khosa rhoek te noemcai ham lunglai hman boeih ah aka pawk tom noemcainah tue lamkah kan hoep ni.

Because you have persevered as I told you to, I will take care of you during the testing time that is coming on the whole world when those who live on the earth will be on trial.

11 Ka pawk tonghnae coeng, na khueh te muk laeh. Na rhuisam te hang rhawt boel saeh.

I am coming soon! Keep a tight grasp on what you have, so that no one takes your crown.

12 Aka noeng tah ka Pathen kah bawkim ah rhungsut la ka saii vetih poengla koep cet loengloeng mahpawh. Ka Pathen ming neh Jerusalem thai, ka Pathen kah khopuei, ka Pathen taengkah vaan lamkah aka suntla ming te khaw, kai kah ming thai khaw anih soah ka daek ni.

Those who are victorious I will make into pillars in the Temple of my God. They won't ever have to leave. I will write on them the name of my God, the name of the city of my God called New Jerusalem which descends from heaven from my God, and my own new name.

13 Mueihla loh hlangboel rhoek taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh.

If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches.

14 “Laodicea kah hlangboel puencawn te khaw daek pah. Uepom neh oltak laipai, Pathen kah suentae a tongnah loh Amen ti saeh.

Write this to the angel of the Laodicea church: This is what the Amen says, who is the faithful, true witness, highest ruler of God's creation:

15 Nang kah khoboe te ka ming. A ding la na om pawt tih na ling bal moenih. A ding mai, a ling mai lam khaw na om te ka ngaih.

I know what you have accomplished—you're neither hot nor cold. I wish you were hot or cold!

16 Te vanbanglapol-awp la na om dongah na ling pawt tih na ding bal moenih. Ka ka lamloh nang thaa ham ka cai coeng.

But because you're lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I'm going to spit you out of my mouth.

17 Kuirhang la ka om tih ka khuehtawn coeng dongah ka ngoe pawh tila na thui. Tedae ngaidaeng ngaikha neh lungmasingta la, khodaeng mikdael neh a tlingyal la na om te na ming moenih.

You say to yourselves, ‘I'm rich, I have wealth, and don't need anything.’ But you don't know that you are miserable and pitiful and poor and blind and naked.

18 Hmai loh a rhoh sui te lai hamla kamah lamloh nang kang uen. Te daengah ni na khuehtawn thai eh. Himbai bok neh na khuk daengah ni na tlingyal kah yahpohnah te a phoe pawt eh. Na mik te miksi han toi daengah ni na hmuh thai eh.

I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire so you may be rich; and have white clothes so you can be properly dressed and you won't reveal your nakedness and shame; and ointment to put on your eyes so you can see.

19 Kai loh ka lungnah atah muep ka toeltham tih ka ueih sak. Thatlai tangloeng lamtah yut laeh.

Those I love I correct and discipline. So be really sincere, and repent.

20 Thohka ah ka pai tih ka khoek coeng he. Khat khat loh ka ol te a yaak tih thohka te a ong atah anih taengla rhep ka kun vetih anih taengah buh ka vael ni. Anih khaw kai taengah a vael ni.

Look, I'm standing at the door, knocking. If anyone hears me calling and opens the door, I will come in and eat with them, and they with me.

21 Kai khaw ka noeng tih amah kah ngolkhoel dongkah a pa taengah ka ngol bangla aka noeng long tah ka ngolkhoel sokah kamah taengah ngol ham ka paek ni.

I will have those who are victorious sit down with me beside my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down beside my Father on his throne.

22 Mueihla loh hlangboel taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti.

If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches.”
