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.
1And to the messenger of the assembly in Sardis write: These things saith he who is having the Seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I have known thy works, and that thou hast the name that thou dost live, and thou art dead;
2 Yeewul te dëgëral li des ci yaw tey waaj a dee, ndaxte gis naa ne, say jëf matuñu ca sama kanam Yàlla.
2become watching, and strengthen the rest of the things that are about to die, for I have not found thy works fulfilled before God.
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
3`Remember, then, how thou hast received, and heard, and be keeping, and reform: if, then, thou mayest not watch, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou mayest not know what hour I will come upon thee.
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.
4Thou hast a few names even in Sardis who did not defile their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
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.
5He who is overcoming — this one — shall be arrayed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the scroll of the life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before His messengers.
6 Yaw mi am ay nopp, déglul li Xelum Yàlla di wax mboolooy ñi gëm.
6He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.
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:
7`And to the messenger of the assembly in Philadelphia write: These things saith he who is holy, he who is true, he who is having the key of David, he who is opening and no one doth shut, and he shutteth and no one doth open!
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.
8I have known thy works; lo, I have set before thee a door — opened, and no one is able to shut it, because thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name;
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.
9lo, I make of the synagogue of the Adversary those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but do lie; lo, I will make them that they may come and bow before thy feet, and may know that I loved thee.
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
10`Because thou didst keep the word of my endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of the trial that is about to come upon all the world, to try those dwelling upon the earth.
11 Léegi ma ñëw. Sàmmal li nga yor, ngir kenn bañ laa xañ sa kaalag ndam.
11Lo, I come quickly, be holding fast that which thou hast, that no one may receive thy crown.
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.
12He who is overcoming — I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and without he may not go any more, and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, that doth come down out of the heaven from my God — also my new name.
13 Yaw mi am ay nopp, déglul li Xelum Yàlla di wax mboolooy ñi gëm.
13He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.
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;
14`And to the messenger of the assembly of the Laodiceans write: These things saith the Amen, the witness — the faithful and true — the chief of the creation of God;
15 Xam naa say jëf, xam ne seddoo, tàngoo. Manoon ngaa sedd mbaa nga tàng,
15I have known thy works, that neither cold art thou nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 waaye ndax li nga nugg, tàngoo seddoo, dinaa la yàbbi.
16So — because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit thee out of my mouth;
17 Yaa ngi damu naan: “Am naa alal, duunle naa, soxlaatuma dara.” Fekk xamuloo ne, torox nga, miskin, ñàkk, gumba te rafle.
17because thou sayest — I am rich, and have grown rich, and have need of nothing, and hast not known that thou art the wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked,
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
18I counsel thee to buy from me gold fired by fire, that thou mayest be rich, and white garments that thou mayest be arrayed, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be manifest, and with eye-salve anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.
19 Man maay yedd, di yar ñépp ñi ma bëgg. Farlul kon te tuub say bàkkaar.
19`As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;
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
20lo, I have stood at the door, and I knock; 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 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.
21He who is overcoming — I will give to him to sit with me in my throne, as I also did overcome and did sit down with my Father in His throne.
22 Yaw mi am ay nopp, déglul li Xelum Yàlla di wax mboolooy ñi gëm.»
22He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.`
