< Revelation 3 >

1 "And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: "He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these things: "I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Harariha; Ko nga kupu ana, kei a ia nei nga Wairua e whitu o te Atua, me nga whetu e whitu; Ka matau ahau ki au mahi, na he ingoa tou, e ora ana koe, heoi he tupapaku ano koe.
2 Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which were about to die, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God.
Kia mataara, whakaukia nga mea e toe nei, ka tata nei te mate; kahore hoki ahau i kite i au mahi kia tino rite ki te aroaro o toku Atua.
3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you do not wake up, I will come as a thief, and you won't know what hour I will come to you.
Kia mahara ra ki te rironga o nga mea i a koe, ki au i rongo ai, a puritia, ripeneta hoki. Na ki te kore koe e mataara, ka tae atu ahau ki a koe, ano he tahae; e kore hoki koe e matau ki te haora e tae atu ai ahau ki a koe.
4 Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
Tena ano kei a koe etahi ingoa ouou nei i Harariha, kahore nei i poke o ratou kakahu; ka haereere tahi ena me ahau, he ma nga kakahu; no te mea he pai ratou.
5 He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the Book of Life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ka whakakakahuria ia ki te kakahu ma; e kore ano hoki e ukuia e ahau tona ingoa i te pukapuka o te ora, a ka whakaaetia e ahau tona ingoa ki te aroaro o toku Matua, ki te aroaro ano hoki o ana anahera.
6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi.
7 "To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: "These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens:
Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Pirarerepia; Ko nga kupu enei a te tapu, a te pono, kei a ia nei te ki o Rawiri, ko ia hei whakapuare, a kahore tetahi hei tutaki; mana hoki e tutaki a kahore tetahi hei whakapuare;
8 "I know your works. Look, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have a little power, and have kept my word, and did not deny my name.
E matau ana ahau ki au mahi: na, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou aroaro he tatau puare, e kore nei e taea te tutaki e tetahi: he kaha hoki tou, he mea iti nei, kua puritia ano e koe taku kupu, kahore ano hoki koe i whakakahore ki toku ingoa.
9 Look, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie; look, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
Na, maku e mea te hunga o te whakamenenga a Hatana, e mea nei he Hurai ratou, a ehara, he teka hoki na ratou; na, maku ratou e mea kia haere mai, kia koropiko ki mua i ou waewae, a kia matau kua arohaina koe e ahau.
10 Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
No te mea kua puritia e koe te kupu o taku manawanui, waihoki ka puritia koe e ahau i te haora o te whakamatautauranga, i taua haora meake nei puta ki te ao katoa, hei whakamatautau i te hunga e noho ana i te whenua.
11 I am coming quickly. Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.
Ka hohoro toku haere atu: kia mau ki tau, kei tangohia tou karauna e tetahi.
12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, maku ia e mea hei pou i roto i te whare o toku Atua, a e kore ia e haere atu i kona ki waho a muri atu; maku hoki e tuhituhi ki runga ki a ia te ingoa o toku Atua, te ingoa hoki o te pa o toku Atua, o Hiruharam a hou, ka heke iho nei i te rangi i toku Atua, me toku ingoa hou ano hoki.
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi.
14 "To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: "The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God's creation, says these things:
Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Raorikia; Ko nga kupu enei a te Amine, a te kaiwhakaatu pono, tika, a te timatanga o ta te Atua hanganga;
15 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
E matau ana ahau ki au mahi, ehara koe i te matao, ehara koe i te wera: ka pai ahau me i matao koe, me i wera ranei.
16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
Heoi, i te mea he mahanahana kau koe, ehara i te matao, ehara i te wera, ka ruakina atu koe e ahau i roto i toku mangai.
17 Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;' and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;
No te mea e ki ana koe, Kua whai taonga ahau, kua tini aku rawa, kahore hoki tetahi mea e matea ana e ahau; kahore hoki e matau he waikorohuhu noa iho koe, he he noa iho, he rawakore, he matapo, he mea kakahukore:
18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.
Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, kia hokona e koe i ahau he koura kua oti te tahu ki te ahi, kia whai rawa ai koe; he kakahu ma hoki, hei kakahu ki a koe, kia kaua ai e kitea te whakama o tou tunga kautanga; he rongoa hoki hei pani ki ou kanohi, kia kite ai koe.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
Ko aku e aroha nei, ka riria e ahau, ka whiua; na, kia ngakau nui koe, ripeneta hoki.
20 Look, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.
Na, tenei ahau te tu nei i te tatau, te patukituki nei: ki te whakarongo tetahi ki toku reo, a ka uaki i te tatau, ka tomo atu ahau ki a ia, hei hoa kai mona, ko ia hoki hei hoa kai moku.
21 He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.
Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ka hoatu e ahau ki a ia kia noho ki toku taha ki runga ki toku torona, penei me ahau i ahau nei te wikitoria, kua noho ki te taha o toku Matua i runga i tona torona.
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi.
