Ufunuo 3

1 Khusuhwa uvamupelela unghwa mu salidi simba: 'Amemenyu ngha ula uvei ibateilile imepo lekhela khumo incha Nguluve ni nondwe lekhela khumo.” Neikhi manyile khila eikhyuvombile. Avanu vikhukhunghinia ukhuta uleimwumivu humbe u-fwile.

“And to the Angel of the Church of Sardis write: Thus says he who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have a name which is alive, but you are dead.

2 Sisimukha uvei miho vweidulusye panghala anghasinghiile, pu leino nghaleipipi ukhufwa, pakhuva saneinchiwene imbombo nchakho ukhuta nchinonghelanile pamiho ngha Nguluve.

Be vigilant, and confirm the things that remain, lest they soon die out. For I do not find your works to be full in the sight of my God.

3 Pu leino kumbuheincha nchila unchvwa upile nukhupuleikha. Unchikonge. Mukhupela uvuvivi, puleino ungave savusisimukha nukhuva miho pu une nikhiwincha ndu munu undyasi, pu sukhalumanye akhavalelo ukhuyakhiva nikhwincha pa lyulve.

Therefore, keep in mind the way that you have received and heard, and then observe it and repent. But if you will not be vigilant, I will come to you like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.

4 Pu leino khulei matavwa madebe ngha vanu ava mu Salidi vavo savalaminche eimyenda nghyovo vuvinghendangha paninie nune vuvafwalile eimyenda eimivalafu swe, pakhuva vanonghile.

But you have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments. And these shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.

5 Ula uvei iva nduti punikhei kungangha eilitavwa lya mwene pavulongolo pa Daada vango, na pavasuhwa.

Whoever prevails, so shall he be clothed in white vestments. And I will not delete his name from the Book of Life. And I will confess his name in the presence of my Father and in the presence of his Angels.

6 Uvei angave alei ni mbulukhutu apuleikhanghe eilimenyu eilei, eiyu u mepo ikhungheivula eimipelela.”

Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.

7 Khusuhwa uvamupelela unghwa mu Filidefia simba: Amamenyu ngha ula ungholofu nuvwayeilweli, uvei alei neikhedeinduleilo khya Davitei, pu usikhuli u yunge uva khudeindula. Lola pupaleindyango udeindule neikhupile pu asikhuli unyakhudeinda.

And to the Angel of the Church of Philadelphia write: Thus says the Holy One, the True One, he who holds the key of David. He opens and no one closes. He closes and no one opens.

8 Neilumanyile ulei nangho amakha madebe, pu eilimenyu lyango uleiveikhile munumbula yakho.

I know your works. Behold, I have set an open door before you, which no one is able to close. For you have little power, and you have observed my word, and you have not denied my name.

9 Lola! Punikhukhupa avange avandu lundamano lwa setano, vala aviita avene va Yuta humbe sava Yuta, pu vikhuvasyova avanu, lola vuyanikhuvumeileincha ukhuta vinchanghe pakhusona pamalunde nghakho. Puyavikhulumanya ukhuta niakhunghanile.

Behold, I will take from the synagogue of Satan those who declare themselves to be Jews and are not, for they are lying. Behold, I will cause them to approach and to reverence before your feet. And they shall know that I have loved you.

10 Ulwakhuva ulibiite eilimenyu lyango, nuvukifu pakhwiyumeileincha mulimenyu. Pu na yune nikhukhu lolelangha nukhukhyuvateila pa seikhei unghwa khungheliwa

Since you have kept the word of my patient endurance, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall overcome the whole world in order to test those living upon the earth.

11 pakhuva nghukhwincha pakheilunga khyoni, khukhuva nghela vala vooni vavo valei mukheilunga.

Behold, I am approaching quickly. Hold on to what you have, so that no one may take your crown.

12 Ula uvei iva induti punikhupe langha ukhuta avenchanghe mbanda va nyumba imbalanche eiya Nguluve, pusalahuma khunji lusikhu. Punikhu leisimba eilitavwa lya Nguluve vango, eilitavwa lya vunvhenge vwa Nguluve vango, “Uvunchenge uvwa (Yerusalemu umpya, uvunchenge uvukhwikha pasi ukhuhuma khulyanya kihwa Nguluve vango), neilitavwa lyango eilipya.

Whoever prevails, I will set him as a column in the temple of my God, and he shall not depart from it anymore. And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that descends out of heaven from my God, and my new name.

13 Ula uvei alei nimbulukhutu aleipuleikhe eilimenyu eilei eilyu u mepo ukhungheivula eimipelela.'

Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.

14 “Khu suhwa uva mupelela unghulei khu Leokadia simba: 'Amamenyu ngha mwene nghango Amina, vuvule uvei vakhuhuveilivwa hange intangeili ungholofu, umbaha nuvulongonchi vwa fyoni ifipeliwe nu Nguluve.

And to the Angel of the Church of Laodicea write: Thus says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, who is the Beginning of the creation of God:

15 Neinchimanyile imbombo nchakho ukhuta uve saleinchinchimu hange suleipyufu, pu yale yiva huba uve nchinchimu avyo uve pyufu!

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

16 Leino ulwakhuva uve uvufukhefu uleifukhefu na vuvunchinchimu uleinchinchimu pusunonghile palyune leino punikhukhubeha mundomo nghwango unghu.

But because you are lukewarm and are neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth.

17 Ulwakhuva vwiita, “Une neileikavi, neileineikhyuma khyukhingi pasanileinuvufumbwe vwa khunonghwa kheininie.” Pu leino sulumanyile ukhuta uve ulei nghanchu fincho yuve vusanghania, nulei nghanchu sawilola ubofwile amiho uleivubwinda.

For you declare, ‘I am wealthy, and I have been enriched further, and I have need of nothing.’ And you do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.

18 Punikhukhutanga amasangho unghule khulyune ulutalama ulunonchivwe nu mwoto ukhuta puve ikavi, unya myenda eimivalafu einghing'alang'adeikha ukhuta pufwale yuve, pu lekhe ukhuvonia isoni incha vubwinda vwakho, ni mono incha khubakhala mu miho nghakho pu lolanghe.

I urge you to buy from me gold, tested by fire, so that you may be enriched and may be clothed in white vestments, and so that the shame of your nakedness may disappear. And anoint your eyes with an eye salve, so that you may see.

19 Voni uvunivanghanile une nikhuvataneila nukhuvamanyisya, nukhuvavunga. Puleino unghimbange nukhupela inongwa.

Those whom I love, I rebuke and chastise. Therefore, be zealous and do penance.

20 Lola niemile pandyango ni hodencha. Ula uvei ipuleikha eilimenyu lyango vunihodeincha puangave ideindula undyango. Punikhwingeila khumwene nu khulya pninie numwene, navope paninie nune.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone will hear my voice and will open the door to me, I will enter to him, and I will dine with him, and he with me.

21 Ula uvei iva ndutu paligoha vei ula nikhupinchangha uvutama uvwa khutama paninie nune pakheinyalwangula, nduvu une neikhava nduti puneitamile paninie nu Daada vango pa kheinyalwanghula khya mwene.

Whoever prevails, I will grant to him to sit with me on my throne, just as I also have overcome and have sat down with my Father on his throne.

22 Ula uvei alei nimbulukhutu apuleikhanghe khila eikhyu u mepo ikhungheivula eimipalela.”

Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.”
