Fakahā 3

1 “Pea tohi ki he ʻāngelo ʻoe siasi ʻi Satisi; ‘ʻOku folofolaʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe ia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae Laumālie ʻe Fitu ʻoe ʻOtua, pea mo e fetuʻu ʻe fitu; “ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, he ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae hingoa ʻoku ke moʻui, ka ʻoku ke mate.

And to the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and thou art dead.

2 Ke ke faʻa leʻo, ʻo fakamālohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku toe, ʻaia ʻoku fakatau ke mate; he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo kuo fai ke haohaoa hoʻo ngāue, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.

Be thou watchful, and stablish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine fulfilled before my God.

3 Ko ia ke ke manatuʻi pe naʻe fēfeeʻi ʻae anga ʻo hoʻo maʻu mo hoʻo fanongo, pea ke kuku maʻu, mo fakatomala. Ko ia kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke leʻo, te u haʻu kiate koe ʻo hangē ha kaihaʻa, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻo ʻeku haʻu kiate koe.

Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear; and keep [it], and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

4 Naʻa mo Satisi, ʻoku ke maʻu ai ʻae tokosiʻi kuo ʻikai ke nau fakaʻuliʻi honau ngaahi kofu; pea ʻe ʻaʻeva mo au ʻakinautolu ʻi he kofu hinehina: he ʻoku ʻaonga ʻakinautolu

But thou hast a few names in Sardis which did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy.

5 Ko ia ia ʻe ikuna, ko ia ʻe fakakofu, ʻaki ʻae kofu hinehina; pea ʻe ʻikai te u tāmateʻi hono hingoa mei he tohi ʻoe moʻui, ka te u fakahā hono hingoa ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻeku Tamai, pea mo e ʻao ʻo ʻene kau ʻāngelo.

He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

6 “Ko ia ia ʻoku ai ʻae telinga, ke fakafanongo ia ki he folofola ʻae Laumālie ki he ngaahi siasi.”’

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

7 “Pea tohi ki he ʻāngelo ʻoe siasi ʻi Filatelifia; ‘ʻOku folofolaʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe ia ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ʻoku moʻoni, “ʻAia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae kī ʻo Tevita, pea ʻoku ne toʻo, pea ʻikai ke tāpuni ʻe ha taha; pea ʻoku ne tāpuni, pea ʻikai toʻo ʻe ha taha;”

And to the angel of the church 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 none shall shut, and that shutteth, and none openeth:

8 “ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue: vakai, kuo u tuku ʻi ho ʻao ʻae matapā kuo ava, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa tāpuni ia ʻe ha taha: he ʻoku ai hoʻo mālohi siʻi, pea kuo ke tauhiʻi ʻa ʻeku lea, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke fakafisingaʻi hoku hingoa.

I know thy works (behold, I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut), that thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name.

9 Vakai, ʻoku ou tuku atu ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻoe falelotu ʻo Sētane, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē, ko e kau Siu ʻakinautolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai, ka ʻoku nau loi; vakai, te u puleʻi ʻakinautolu ke haʻu ʻo punou hifo ʻi ho vaʻe, pea ke nau ʻilo kuo u ʻofa kiate koe.

Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of them which say they are Jews, and they are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

10 Pea koeʻuhi kuo ke tauhi ʻae lea ʻo ʻeku faʻa kātaki, te u tauhi foki ʻa koe ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ʻoe ʻahiʻahi, ʻaia ʻe hoko ki māmani kotoa pē, ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani.

Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that [hour] which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

11 Vakai, ʻoku ou haʻu fakavave: kuku ke maʻu ʻaia ʻoku ke maʻu, ke ʻoua naʻa faʻao ho pale ʻe ha taha kehe.

I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown.

12 Ko ia ia ʻe ikuna, te u ngaohi ia ko e pou ʻi he fale tapu ʻo hoku ʻOtua, pea ʻe ʻikai toe ʻalu atu ia: pea te u tohi ki ai ʻae huafa ʻo hoku ʻOtua, mo e hingoa ʻoe kolo ʻo hoku ʻOtua, ʻae Selūsalema foʻou, ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he langi mei hoku ʻOtua: pea mo hoku hingoa foʻou ʻoʻoku.

He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence 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 cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name.

13 “Ko ia ʻoku ai ʻae telinga, ke fakafanongo ia ki he folofola ʻae Laumālie ki he ngaahi siasi.”’

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

14 “Pea tohi ki he ʻāngelo ʻoe siasi ʻoe kakai Leotisia; ‘ʻOku folofolaʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe he ʻEmeni, ko e Fakamoʻoni angatonu mo moʻoni, ko e Tupuʻanga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kuo fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtua;

And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:

15 “ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, ʻoku ʻikai te ke momoko pe vela: ʻamusiaange ʻeau ʻoku ke momoko pe vela.

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 Ko ia koeʻuhi ʻoku ke māmāfana pe, ʻo ʻikai momoko pe vela, teu puʻaki koe mei hoku ngutu.

So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.

17 Koeʻuhi ʻoku ke pehē, ‘ʻOku ou koloaʻia, pea kuo u fakamaʻumeʻaʻi au,’ pea ʻoku ʻikai te u masiva ʻi ha meʻa; ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻoku ke kovi lahi, pea malaʻia, pea masiva, pea kui, pea telefua.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked:

18 ‌ʻOku ou akonakiʻi koe ke ke fakatau ʻiate au ʻae koula kuo ʻahiʻahi ʻi he afi, koeʻuhi ke ke koloaʻia ai; pea mo e kofu hinehina, koeʻuhi ke ke kofuʻaki, ke ʻoua naʻa hā mai ʻae mā ʻo hoʻo telefua―pea ke tuluʻi ho mata ʻaki ʻae meʻa tuluʻi mata koeʻuhi ke ke ʻā ai.

I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.

19 Ko kinautolu ʻoku ou ʻofa ai, ʻoku ou valokiʻi mo tauteʻi: ko ia ke ke fai feinga, mo fakatomala.

As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Vakai, ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi he matapā, mo tukituki: kapau ʻe fanongo ʻe ha taha ki hoku leʻo, mo toʻo ʻae matapā, teu hū atu kiate ia, pea te ma keinanga fakataha mo au.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 Ko ia ia ʻe ikuna, te u foaki ki ai ke nofo mo au ʻi hoku nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻo hangē foki ko ʻeku ikuna, peau nofo mo ʻeku Tamai ʻi hono nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki.

He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.

22 “Ko ia ʻoku ai ʻae telinga, ke fakafanongo ia ki he folofola ʻae Laumālie ki he ngaahi siasi.”’”

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
