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.

“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: 'The words of the one who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “I know what you have done. You have a reputation that you are 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.

Wake up and strengthen what remains, but is about to die, because I have not found your deeds complete 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.

Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard. Obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come against 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 stained their clothes, and they will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy.

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

The one who conquers will be clothed in white garments, and I will never wipe his name out of the Book of Life, and I will speak his name before my Father, and before his angels.

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

Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying 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.

“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: 'The words of the one who is holy and true— he holds the key of David, he opens and no one shuts, he shuts and no one can open.

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

“I know what you have done. Look, I have put before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have obeyed my word and 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.

Look! Those who belong to the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews but are not, but they are liars—I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will come to know that I loved you.

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

Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is coming on the whole world, to test those who live on the earth.

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

I am coming soon. Hold to what you have so no one can take away 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.

The one who conquers, I will make like a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, the name of the city of my God (the new Jerusalem, that comes down out of heaven from my God), and my new name.

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

Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying 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.

“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: 'The words of the Amen, the reliable and true witness, the ruler over God's creation.

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

“I know what you have done, and 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.

So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about 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 say, 'I am rich, I have had many material possessions, and I need nothing.' But you do not know that you are most miserable, pitiable, poor, 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.

Listen to my advice: Buy from me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and brilliant white garments so you may clothe yourself and not show the shame of your nakedness, and salve to anoint your eyes so you will see.

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

I train everyone whom I love, and I teach them how they should live. Therefore, be earnest and repent.

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

Look, I am standing at the door and am knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into his home and will eat 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.

The one who conquers, I will give him the right to sit down with me on my throne, just as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.

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

Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”'”
