Chiunukuko 3
1 “Mwalembele katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Sadi. “Yeleyi ni yakuti jwali ni Mbumu saba sya Akunnungu ni ndondwa saba. Nguimanyilila isambo yenu, nkumanyika kuti nli jwanjumi nambo, usyene mmwile.
And to the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and thou art dead.
2 Njimuche, ngalimbisye agala gambone gagasigalile kukwenu ni gelego gakaika kuwa. Pakuŵa mpaka sambano nganinagaona masengo genu kuŵa gemalilwe paujo pa Akunnungu wangu.
Be thou watchful, and stablish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine fulfilled before my God.
3 Nipele nkumbuchile imwatite kupochela ni imwatite kupilikana ni imwatite kwitichisya yeleyo ni kugalauka ni kuleka sambi. Nambo iŵaga nganjimuka, chiiche mpela jwa wiyi, nomwe ngisimmanyilila ndaŵi jachinannyichilile.
Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear; and keep [it], and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Nambo nkwete ŵandu ŵangatupa ku Sadi ŵangananyakasya nguo syao. Ŵelewo chajende none ali awete iwalo yeswela pakuŵa akuŵajilwa.
But thou hast a few names in Sardis which did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy.
5 “Juchapunde chinawasye iwalo yeswela mpela ŵanyawo, none ngisinalityosya ng'o liina lyakwe mu chitabu cha umi. Sooni chinyitichisye kwa kang'wa jangu paujo pa Atati ŵangu, ni paujo pa achikatumetume ŵao ŵa kwinani kuti jwelejo ali jwangu.
He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 “Jwakwete mapilikanilo gakupilikanila, apilikane agala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu gakwasalila mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
7 “Kwa katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Filadefia mwalembele yelei. “Yeleyi ni yakuti kusala ajula jwanswela ni jwausyenesyene, jwakwete ukombole wa kwalechela ŵandu ajinjile mu umwenye wakwe. Ni jwakuugula nnango, ni ngapagwa jwakukombola kuugala. Ni jwakuugala nnango ni ngapagwa jwakukombola kuugula.
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and none shall shut, and that shutteth, and none openeth:
8 Nguimanyilila ipanganyo yenu, ngumanyilila kuti nkwete machili gamanandi nambo nkamulisye liloŵe lyangu ni nganinlikana liina lyangu. Mpilikane! Misile paujo penu nnango weugule, ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kuugala.
I know thy works (behold, I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut), that thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name.
9 Mpilikane! Ngumpa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵa nyuumba ja kupopelela ja Shetani, ŵakuliŵilanga Ŵayahudi nambo nganaŵa ŵayahudi, nambo ali ŵakulambusya. Mpilikane! Chinaatende aichanje ni kuntindiŵalila paujo pa sajo syenu ni amanyilile kuti nannonyele.
Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of them which say they are Jews, and they are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Pakuŵa nlikamulisye liloŵe nkupililila, none jwakwe chinangose katema ka malagasyo, kakali chile kuchiichilila chilambo chose, kuti ŵaalinje ŵelewo ŵakutama pachilambo.
Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that [hour] which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Ngwika chitema, muukamulisye kwannope utenga wa chikulupi umpochele, kuti mundu jwalijose anakombole kunsumula mbote jenu.
I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown.
12 “Juchapunde chinantende aŵe luchanamila pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu nombe ngasakopoka mwelemo ng'o. Sooni chilembe pachanya pakwe liina lya Akunnungu ŵangu ni liina lya musi wa Akunnungu ŵangu, yaani Yelusalemu wa sambano, musi uchiutuluche kutyochela kwinani kwa Akunnungu ŵangu. Iyoyo chinembe pachanya pakwe liina lyangu lya sambano.
He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence 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 mine own new name.
13 “Jwakwete mapilikanilo gakupilikanila, apilikane agala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu gakwasalila mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
14 “Mwalembele yeleyi katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Laodikia. “Uneji nguŵilanjikwa Eloo, jwaumboni jwakukulupilichika jwausyene, ndande ja yepanganyikwe yose yaigumbile Akunnungu, nguti yelei.
And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:
15 Nguimanyilila ipanganyo yenu, kuti nganimma ŵa kusisima atamuno ŵa mooto. Ikaliji mmbaya nkaliji ŵa kusisima pane ŵa mooto.
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 Nipele pakuŵa ndi ŵantukuta, nganimma ŵa kusisima namuno ŵa mooto, chinanlukule ntyoche mukang'wa jangu.
So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
17 Ligongo nkuti, ‘Ndili jwakusichila ni ngwete ipanje, ngangulajila chindu chachili chose.’ Nambo ngankumanyilila kuti nli jwausauchi ni jwakulaga ni jwaulanda ni jwangalola sooni nli matakope.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked:
18 Ngumpa lunda kuti, nsuume kwangune sahabu jejenjetukule ni mooto, kuti nsichile ni kusuma iwalo yeswela kuti mbwale, ni kusisa soni sya kutama kwenu matakope. Iyoyopeyo nsuume ntela ni kupakala mmeeso genu kuti nkombole kulola.
I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.
19 Uneji ngwajamuka ni kwalamula wose ŵangwanonyela. Nipele nlimbile ni kuleka sambi syenu.
As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Mpilikane! Ngwima pannango ni kupoposya, mundu apilikanaga liloŵe lyangu ni kuugula, chinyinjile kwa jwelejo, none chilye pamo ni jwelejo ni jwelejo pamo ni une.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 “Juchapunde chinjalechelela kutama chiŵandi ni une pa chitengu changu cha umwenye, mpela une indite kupunda ni kutama chiŵandi ni Atati ŵangu pachitengu chao cha umwenye.
He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.
22 “Jwakwete mapilikanilo gakupilikanila, apilikane agala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu gakwasalila mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.”
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
