Okuswelulwa 3

1 Ku Malaika wa Likanisa Lya Sardi yandika: 'Emisango ja uliya unu agwatiliye jilya emyoyo musanju eja Nyamuanga na jinjota musanju. “Enimenya chinu oukola. uli no lususo lwo kubha muanga mbe nawe, uli mufuye.

And to the angel of the church in Sardis write; The one having the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars, says these things; I know your works, that you have a name that you are living, and are dead.

2 Imuka na ukomeshe ganu gasagile, mbe nawe gali yei okufwa, kunsonga nitabhibwene ebhikolwa bhyao bhikumiye mu meso ga Nyamuanga wani.

Be you watchful, and strengthen the remaining things, which are about to die. For I have not found your works perfect before my God.

3 Kulwejo, nuwichuke, jiliya jinu walamiye no kungwa. Nuwolobhe no kuta. Mbe nawe ukalema okwimuka, enija lwo mwifi, na utakumenya ni mwanya ki gunu enikujako.

Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If you do not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.

4 Mbe nawe galio amasina matoto aga bhanu bhanu bhali Sardi bhanu bhatajijabhishe emyenda jebhwe. Abho nibho abhalibhata amwi nanye, bhafwaye emyenda jimwela kobho, kunsonga bhejile.

But you have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: because they are worthy.

5 Mbe unu kaiga kafwafibhwa ebhifwalo bhimwela kobho, na koto nitakulisimya Lisina lyaye okusoka mu chitabho cho bhuanga, na enilibhilikila lisina lyaye imbele ya Lata wani, na imbele ya Bhamalaika.

The one conquering shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not blot out his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and in the presence of his angels.

6 Alabha uli no kutwi, tegelesha jinu Mwoyo kutyo kagabhwila amakanisa.”

Let the one having ears hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

7 “Ku Malaika owa Likanisa elya Philadefia yandika: Emisango ja unu ali mulengelesi na ali we chimali-unu ali na jifungulujo ja Daudi, na kegula na atalio unu kegala, kegala na atalio unu katula okwigula.

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; The holy, true one, the one having the key of David, the one opening, and no one shall shut; and the one shutting, and no one shall open; says these things.

8 Enimenya chinu ukolele. Lola, nikuteleyeo imbele yao omulyango gunu gwigukile gunu atalio unu katula ogugwigala. Nimenyele ati uli na managa matoto mbe nawe ugwolobhee omusango gwani na utakulilema lisina lyani.

I know your works; behold, I have given before you an open door, which no one is able to shut: and you have a little power, and you have kept my word, and not denied my name.

9 Lola! bhona bhanu bhali mulikofyanyisho lya Shetani, bhanu abhaika ati bhenene ni Bhayaudi Kasi tikwo kutyo, kukila ejo abhajiga-jiga. Enibhakola bhaje no kulamya imbele ya magulu gao, na mbamenya ati naliga nikwendele.

Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are lying; behold, I will make them that they shall come and worship before thy feet, and may know that I have loved thee with divine love.

10 Kulwo kubha ubhibhikile ebhilagilo bhyani kwo bhwigumilisha kwe chimali, enikulinda one mu mwanya gwao ogwo kulegejibhwa gunu oguja mu Chalo chona, okubhalegeja bhaliya bhona bhanu bhekaye mu chalo.

Because you have kept the word of my patience, and I will keep you from the hour of temptation, which is about to come upon the whole world, to try those dwelling upon the earth.

11 Enija bhwangu. Nugwatilile muno chinu uli nacho koleleki asiga kubhao munu owo kugega olutenga lwao.

I am coming quickly: hold fast that which you have, that no one may take your crown.

12 Enimukola unu kaiga kubha ing'ingi mu Yekalu ya Nyamuanga wani, na atakusokamo koto. Enilyandika ku mwene lisina Lya Nyamuanga wani, lisina lyo musi gwa Nyamuanga wani (Yelusalemu nyaya, gunu ogwika okusoka mu lwile ku Nyamuanga wani), ne Sina lyani eyaya.

The one conquering, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out 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 is coming down out of heaven from my God: and my new name.

13 Omwene unu ali no kutwi, nongwe chinu Mwoyo kaika ku MaKanisa.'

Let the one having ears, hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

14 “Ku Malaika wa Likanisa elya Laodikia yandika: 'Emisango jaye unu ali Amina, unu ali wo kwimako no mubhambasi Mwiikanyibhwa, mutungi ingulu yo bhumogi bhwa Nyamuanga.

And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write; The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God, says these things;

15 Enimenya chinu ukolele, na ati awe utanyiliye nolwo utanebhila, niligiye ati akili wakabhee munyiliye amwi mubhila!

I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were either cold or hot.

16 Kwibhyo, ku nsonga awe uli ne bhila bhila, utane bhila nolwo kunyilila, mbe enija okukutanaka usoke mu munwa gwani.

Thus because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to spew you out of my mouth.

17 Kulwa kubha owaika, “Anye nili munibhi, nabhee na bhinu bhyafu, na nitakenele chinu chona chona.” Mbe nawe atakumenya ati awe uli mutaka na munu we mwalo muno, no owo kusulumbalilwa, mutaka, muofu na tuyu.

Because you are saying, That I am rich, and have increased in riches, and have need as to nothing, and do you not know that you are miserable, and pitiful, and poor, and blind, and naked?

18 Tegelesha inyaika yani: nugule kwanye ijaabhu inu ilabhile mu mulilo koleleki ubhone kubha munibhi, na jingubho jimwela jinu ejilabhyangila koleleki ujifwale omwene na wasiga kwelesha jinswalo ja bhutuyu bhwao, na amafuta go kubhambaga ku meso gao koleleki ulole.

I counsel you to buy from me gold which has been purified by the fire, in order that you may be rich; and white garments, in order that you may be clothed, and the shame of your nakedness may not be exposed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.

19 Bhuli unu enenda, enimwelesha no kumwiigisha lwa kutyo jiile okulama; kulwejo, nubhe we chimali na ute.

So many as I love, I rebuke and chastise; be zealous, and repent.

20 Lola enimelegulu ku mulyango ne nikonona. Wone wone unu kongwa obhulaka bhwani no kwingula omulyango, enija no kwingila muju yaye, no kulya ebhilyo nage no mwene amwi nanye.

Behold, I stand at the door, and am knocking: if any one may hear my voice, and may open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 Unu kaiga, enimuyana echimali cho kwinyanja amwi nanye ingulu ye chitebhe chani cha ingoma, lwa kutyo anye naigile no kwinyanja amwi na Lata wani ingulu ye chitebhe chaye echa ingoma.

The one conquering, I will give unto him to sit with me on my throne, as I indeed have conquered, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

22 Unu ali no kutwi, kwo kungwa mbe nongwe jinu Mwoyo kabhwila amakanisa.”

Let the one having ears hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
