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.
1 “And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: “He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these things: “I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
2 Yeewul te dëgëral li des ci yaw tey waaj a dee, ndaxte gis naa ne, say jëf matuñu ca sama kanam Yàlla.
2 Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which you were about to throw away, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my 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 therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you.
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.
4 Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for 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.
5 He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Yaw mi am ay nopp, déglul li Xelum Yàlla di wax mboolooy ñi gëm.
6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says 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 “To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: “He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things:
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.
8 “I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word, and didn’t 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.
9 Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie. Behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
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 you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11 Léegi ma ñëw. Sàmmal li nga yor, ngir kenn bañ laa xañ sa kaalag ndam.
11 I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your 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.
12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
13 Yaw mi am ay nopp, déglul li Xelum Yàlla di wax mboolooy ñi gëm.
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says 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 “To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: “The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God’s creation, says these things:
15 Xam naa say jëf, xam ne seddoo, tàngoo. Manoon ngaa sedd mbaa nga tàng,
15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
16 waaye ndax li nga nugg, tàngoo seddoo, dinaa la yàbbi.
16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you 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.
17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;’ and don’t know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, 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
18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.
19 Man maay yedd, di yar ñépp ñi ma bëgg. Farlul kon te tuub say bàkkaar.
19 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
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
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine 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.
21 He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 Yaw mi am ay nopp, déglul li Xelum Yàlla di wax mboolooy ñi gëm.»
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
