1 Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Harariha; Ko nga kupu ana, kei a ia nei nga Wairua e whitu o te Atua, me nga whetu e whitu; Ka matau ahau ki au mahi, na he ingoa tou, e ora ana koe, heoi he tupapaku ano koe.

2 Kia mataara, whakaukia nga mea e toe nei, ka tata nei te mate; kahore hoki ahau i kite i au mahi kia tino rite ki te aroaro o toku Atua.

3 Kia mahara ra ki te rironga o nga mea i a koe, ki au i rongo ai, a puritia, ripeneta hoki. Na ki te kore koe e mataara, ka tae atu ahau ki a koe, ano he tahae; e kore hoki koe e matau ki te haora e tae atu ai ahau ki a koe.

4 Tena ano kei a koe etahi ingoa ouou nei i Harariha, kahore nei i poke o ratou kakahu; ka haereere tahi ena me ahau, he ma nga kakahu; no te mea he pai ratou.

5 Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ka whakakakahuria ia ki te kakahu ma; e kore ano hoki e ukuia e ahau tona ingoa i te pukapuka o te ora, a ka whakaaetia e ahau tona ingoa ki te aroaro o toku Matua, ki te aroaro ano hoki o ana anahera.

6 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi.

7 Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Pirarerepia; Ko nga kupu enei a te tapu, a te pono, kei a ia nei te ki o Rawiri, ko ia hei whakapuare, a kahore tetahi hei tutaki; mana hoki e tutaki a kahore tetahi hei whakapuare;

8 E matau ana ahau ki au mahi: na, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou aroaro he tatau puare, e kore nei e taea te tutaki e tetahi: he kaha hoki tou, he mea iti nei, kua puritia ano e koe taku kupu, kahore ano hoki koe i whakakahore ki toku ingoa.

9 Na, maku e mea te hunga o te whakamenenga a Hatana, e mea nei he Hurai ratou, a ehara, he teka hoki na ratou; na, maku ratou e mea kia haere mai, kia koropiko ki mua i ou waewae, a kia matau kua arohaina koe e ahau.

10 No te mea kua puritia e koe te kupu o taku manawanui, waihoki ka puritia koe e ahau i te haora o te whakamatautauranga, i taua haora meake nei puta ki te ao katoa, hei whakamatautau i te hunga e noho ana i te whenua.

11 Ka hohoro toku haere atu: kia mau ki tau, kei tangohia tou karauna e tetahi.

12 Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, maku ia e mea hei pou i roto i te whare o toku Atua, a e kore ia e haere atu i kona ki waho a muri atu; maku hoki e tuhituhi ki runga ki a ia te ingoa o toku Atua, te ingoa hoki o te pa o toku Atua, o Hiruharam a hou, ka heke iho nei i te rangi i toku Atua, me toku ingoa hou ano hoki.

13 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi.

14 Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hahi i Raorikia; Ko nga kupu enei a te Amine, a te kaiwhakaatu pono, tika, a te timatanga o ta te Atua hanganga;

15 E matau ana ahau ki au mahi, ehara koe i te matao, ehara koe i te wera: ka pai ahau me i matao koe, me i wera ranei.

16 Heoi, i te mea he mahanahana kau koe, ehara i te matao, ehara i te wera, ka ruakina atu koe e ahau i roto i toku mangai.

17 No te mea e ki ana koe, Kua whai taonga ahau, kua tini aku rawa, kahore hoki tetahi mea e matea ana e ahau; kahore hoki e matau he waikorohuhu noa iho koe, he he noa iho, he rawakore, he matapo, he mea kakahukore:

18 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, kia hokona e koe i ahau he koura kua oti te tahu ki te ahi, kia whai rawa ai koe; he kakahu ma hoki, hei kakahu ki a koe, kia kaua ai e kitea te whakama o tou tunga kautanga; he rongoa hoki hei pani ki ou kanohi, kia kite ai koe.

19 Ko aku e aroha nei, ka riria e ahau, ka whiua; na, kia ngakau nui koe, ripeneta hoki.

20 Na, tenei ahau te tu nei i te tatau, te patukituki nei: ki te whakarongo tetahi ki toku reo, a ka uaki i te tatau, ka tomo atu ahau ki a ia, hei hoa kai mona, ko ia hoki hei hoa kai moku.

21 Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, ka hoatu e ahau ki a ia kia noho ki toku taha ki runga ki toku torona, penei me ahau i ahau nei te wikitoria, kua noho ki te taha o toku Matua i runga i tona torona.

22 Ko te tangata he taringa tona, kia rongo ia ki ta te Wairua e mea nei ki nga hahi.

1 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 Be thou watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine perfected before my God. 3 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 But thou hast a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy. 5 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 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

7 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 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 Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of them that 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 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 I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown. 12 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 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

14 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 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth. 17 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 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 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 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 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 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
