¹And unto 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 art dead.

¹ «Bindal malaakam mbooloom ñi gëm ci dëkku Sàrd, ne ko: i Ki yor juróom-ñaari Xeli Yàlla yi ak juróom-ñaari biddiiw yi nee na: Xam naa say jëf. Dañu laa teg kuy dund, fekk dee nga.

²Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

² Yeewul te dëgëral li des ci yaw tey waaj a dee, ndaxte gis naa ne, say jëf matuñu ca sama kanam Yàlla.

³Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

³ Fàttalikul kon kàddug Yàlla gi nga jot, te dégg ko, sàmm ko te réccu. Soo wéyee ciy nelaw nag, dinaa ñëw nib sàcc, te doo xam wan waxtu lay doon. i

⁴Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

⁴ Moona am nga foofu ci Sàrd nit ñu néew ñoo xam ne tilimaluñu seen mbubb. Ñooñu dinañu ànd ak man, sol lu weex, ndaxte yeyoo nañu ko.

⁵He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

⁵ Ku daan, dinga sol mbubb mu weex ni ñoom. Te duma far sa tur ci téereb dund bi, waaye dinaa nangu ci sama kanamu Baay ak ay malaakaam ne, bokk nga ci man.

⁶He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

⁶ Yaw mi am ay nopp, déglul li Xelum Yàlla di wax mboolooy ñi gëm.

⁷And 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 no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

⁷ «Bindal malaakam mbooloom ñi gëm ci dëkku Filadelfi, ne ko: i Aji Sell ji, di Aji Dëgg ji nee na, moom mi yor caabiy Daawuda ji, moom miy tijji te kenn du ko man a tëj, muy tëj te kenn du ko tijji nee ne:

⁸I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

⁸ Xam naa say jëf. Ubbil naa la bunt, te kenn du ko man a tëj. Xam naa ne barewuloo doole, waaye sàmm nga sama kàddu te weddiwoo ma.

⁹Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and 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.

⁹ Dinaa def ba ñenn ci ñi bokk ci ndajem Seytaane --te tuddoo Yawut, fekk dañuy fen — dinaa leen ñëwloo, ñu sukk ci sa kanam, nangu ne, bëgg naa la.

¹⁰Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

¹⁰ Gannaaw muñ nga, ni ma la ko dénke woon, man itam dinaa la yiir ci jamono, ji musiba mi di wàcc ci dunyaa bépp ngir nattu waa àddina. i

¹¹Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

¹¹ Léegi ma ñëw. Sàmmal li nga yor, ngir kenn bañ laa xañ sa kaalag ndam.

¹²Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

¹² Ku daan, dinaa la samp ni aw jënu néeg ci sama kër Yàlla te doo fa génn mukk. Dinaa bind ci yaw turu sama Yàlla ak turu dëkku sama Yàlla, mu di Yerusalem gu bees, giy jóge ca asamaan ca wetu sama Yàlla di wàcc. Dinaa bind it ci yaw sama tur wu bees.

¹³He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

¹³ Yaw mi am ay nopp, déglul li Xelum Yàlla di wax mboolooy ñi gëm.

¹⁴And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

¹⁴ «Bindal malaakam mbooloom ñi gëm ci dëkku Lawdise, ne ko: i Ki ñuy wax Amiin ji, di seede bu takku bi te dëggu, ki di ndeyi bindu mbindeefi Yàlla yi, nee na;

¹⁵I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

¹⁵ Xam naa say jëf, xam ne seddoo, tàngoo. Manoon ngaa sedd mbaa nga tàng,

¹⁶So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

¹⁶ waaye ndax li nga nugg, tàngoo seddoo, dinaa la yàbbi.

¹⁷Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

¹⁷ Yaa ngi damu naan: “Am naa alal, duunle naa, soxlaatuma dara.” Fekk xamuloo ne, torox nga, miskin, ñàkk, gumba te rafle.

¹⁸I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

¹⁸ Moo tax maa ngi lay xiirtal, nga jënd ci man wurus wu ñu xellee ci safara, ngir nga duunle, te nga jënd yére yu weex ngir nga solu, ba sa gàcceg rafle bañ a feeñ, ak tuufaay booy diw ci say bët, ngir man a gis. i

¹⁹As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

¹⁹ Man maay yedd, di yar ñépp ñi ma bëgg. Farlul kon te tuub say bàkkaar.

²⁰Behold, 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.

²⁰ Maa ngi nii taxaw ci bunt bi, di fëgg. Ku dégg sama baat te ubbi bunt bi, dinaa dugg, reerandoo ak moom, moom it mu reerandoo ak man. i

²¹To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

²¹ Ku daan, dinaa la toogloo ci sama wet ci sama gàngune, ni ma xeexe ba daan, man ci sama bopp, te toogandoo ak sama Baay ci gànguneem.

²²He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

²² Yaw mi am ay nopp, déglul li Xelum Yàlla di wax mboolooy ñi gëm.»
