Revelation 3
1 And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Sardis, write: —These things, saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, —that, a name, thou hast, that thou art living, and art, dead.
Kumwaangelo wambungano ili mu Sadisi lemba: “Majwi awumwi ujisi myuuya ili musanu ayibili yaLeza anyenyeezi zili musanu ayibili. Ndilizi zyiito zyako. Ulaazina lyakuti muli bawuumi, pesi mulifwide.
2 Become thou watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, that were about to die; for I have not found thy works fulfilled before my God.
Amubuke akusimisya zyachaala pesi zyaamba kufwa, nkaambo taakwe pe nindajana zyiito zyako kazizulide kubusyu bwa Leza wangu.
3 Remember, therefore, how thou hast received, and didst hear, and keep it and repent. If then thou shall not watch, I will have come as a thief, and in nowise shalt thou get to know, during what sort of hour, I will have come upon thee.
Nkikaako, yeeya, eecho nchwakatambula, anchwakamvwa. Chiswiilile akweempwa. Pesi na tewabuka ndiyoboola mbuli mubbi, pesi taakwe nuyooziba kuti nchiindi chili nindiyoboola akubukila nduwe.
4 Nevertheless, 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.
Pesi uli aamazina mache mu Sadisi aayo atakwe nasofwaazya zisamo zyawo, aboobo baloyeenda andime kabasamide zituba mbukunga baleelela.
5 He that overcometh, shall, thus, array himself in white garments, and in nowise will I blot out his name, from the book of life; and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his messengers.
Kuli umwi uzunda unooli kasamide mumalembo atuba, alubo takwe nindiyoogwisya zina lyakwe aanze lyabbuku lyabuumi, eelyo ndiyo aamba zina lyakwe kunembo lya Taata wangu, akunembo lyabaangelo bakwe.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies.
Ooyo uli akutwi amvwe muuya chuwamba kumambungano.”
7 And, unto the messenger of the assembly, 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 no one shall shut, and shutteth and no one openeth:
“Kumbungano ili mu Filadelufiya lemba: “Majwi awumwi uusalala wachoonzyo -ooyo ujisi makkiyi a Devidi, ulajula mpawo taakwe uumbi ujala, ulajala mpawo taakwe umbi ujula.
8 I know thy works, —lo! I have set before thee an open door, as to which, no one, can shut it, —that thou hast, a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
“Ndilizi zyiito zyako. Boona, ndabika kunembo lyako mulyango ujulukide kuti kutabi umbi ujala. Ndilizi kuti ulaanguzu ziche, nekubaboobo wakaswiilila jwi lyangu akutakaka zina lyangu.
9 Lo! I give them of the synagogue of Satan, who are affirming themselves to be, Jews, and are not, —but say what is false, —lo! I will cause them, that they shall have come, and shall bow down before thy feet, and shall get to know that, I, loved thee.
Boona, ndilakuchisya aabo bali muchikombelo cha Satani, aabo balyiita lwabo beni ma Juda pesi kabatali oobo pesi kabili babeji - ndiyoobachita kuti baze akukotama ansi kunembo lyazituta zyako, aboobo bayooziba kuti ndilakuyanda.
10 Because thou didst keep my word of endurance, I also, will keep thee out of the hour of trial, which is about to come upon the whole habitable world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Mbuli mbwakabamba mulayizyo wangu chakukakatila ndiyookubamba alimwi kuchiindi chakweenzegwa kuyoosika kunyika yoonse, kuti kweezegwe aabo bapona munyika.
11 I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that, no one, take thy crown.
Ndiyoboola akufwambaana. Jatisya kuli eezyo nzulaazyo kuti kutabi umwi ukunyanzya musini wako.
12 He that overcometh, I will make, him, a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and, outside, shall he in nowise go forth any 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 [I will write upon him] my new name.
Kuli yooyo uzunda ndilakumuchita musemu muchikombelo cha Leza. Takwe alubo nanga ulaya aanze anchicho, pesi ndiyoolemba alinguwe zina lya Leza wangu, zina lyadolopo lya Leza wangu (Jeliusalemu mpya, ooyo useluka ansi kuzwa kujululya Leza wangu) azina pya lyangu.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies.
Ita umwi ulaakutwi amvwe muuya chunokwaamba mumambungano.”
14 And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Laodicea, write: —These things, saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness the beginning of the creation of God:
'“Kumwaangelo wambungano ili mu Layodisiya lemba: “Majwi a Ameni, asyomekede akamboni wakasimpe, mweendelezi atala azilengwa zya Leza.
15 I know thy works; —that neither, cold, art thou, nor hot: I would that, cold, thou hadst been, or hot.
“Ndilizi zyiito zyako akuti tulikutontola nekuba kupya!
16 Thus, because, lukewarm, thou art, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to vomit thee out of my mouth.
Lino akaambo kakuti ulakasaala -kukuluka anze amulomo wangu.
17 Because thou sayest, Rich, am I, and have become enriched, and, of nothing, have I need, and knowest not that, thou, art the wretched one, and pitiable, and destitute, and blind, and naked,
Nkaambo ulati, ndilimuvub, ndili azintu ziingi, taakwe nchiyanda. “Pesi taakwe nuzi kuti wuusisya nsoni loko akufwidwa nsoni, ulimuchete ulimoofu, akuba aachintanda.
18 I counsel thee to buy of me, gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich, —and white raiment, that thou mayest array thyself, and, the shame of thy nakedness, may not be made manifest, —and eye-salve, to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.
Swiilila kululayo lwangu: Ula kindime ngolida yakasukwa aamulilo kuti ukabe muvubi, amalembo atuba ang'ayima kuti ulisamike lwako akuti utakatondeezyi bweeme bwachintanda chako, amfutaakunanika mesoaakokuti ukabone.
19 I, as many as I tenderly love, I convict and put under discipline: be zealous, therefore, and repent.
Ndakalalila akusibula woonse ngundiyanda. Aboobo, sungwaala akweempwa.
20 Lo! I am standing at the door, and knocking; if anyone shall hearken unto my voice, and open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and, he, with, me.
Boona ndiliimvwi amulyangu akukonkomona. Na umwi wamvwa jwi lyangu akujula mulyango, ndiyyosika mung'anda yakwe akulya aawe, alakwe andime.
21 He that overcometh, I will give, unto him, to take his seat with me in my throne, as, I also, overcame, and took my seat with my Father in his throne.
Ooyo uzunda ndiyoomupa cheleelo chakukkala ansi andime achuuno changu chjabulemu, a Taata acchuuno chakwe.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies.
Chita kuti umwi ulaakutwi amvwe muuya chuwaamba mumambungano.””
