Revelation 21
1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.
Zvino ndakaona denga idzva nenyika itsva, nokuti denga rekutanga nenyika yekutanga zvakange zvapfuura, uye gungwa rakange risisipo.
2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
Zvino ini Johwani ndakaona guta dzvene, Jerusarema idzva, richiburuka kubva kuna Mwari kubva kudenga, rakagadzirirwa semwenga wakashongedzerwa murume wake.
3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people; and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
Zvino ndakanzwa inzwi guru kubva kudenga, richiti: Tarira, tabhenakeri yaMwari iri pavanhu, iye achagara navo, uye ivo vachava vanhu vake; naMwari amene achava navo, ari Mwari wavo.
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more. The first things have passed away.”
Zvino Mwari achapusika misodzi yese kubva pameso avo, nerufu haruchazovipo, kana kushungurudzika, kana kurira, kana kurwadziwa hakungachavipo; nokuti zvinhu zvekutanga zvapfuura.
5 He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.”
Zvino agere pachigaro cheushe wakati: Tarira, ndinoita zvinhu zvese zvive zvitsva. Ndokuti kwandiri: Nyora; nokuti mashoko awa ndeechokwadi uye akatendeka.
6 He said to me, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.
Zvino akati kwandiri: Zvaitika. Ndini Arifa naOmega, Kutanga neKupedzisira. Ini ndichapa kuna iye ane nyota zvinobva pachitubu chemvura yeupenyu pachena.
7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.
Anokunda achagara nhaka yezvinhu zvese; uye ndichava Mwari wake, naiye achava mwanakomana wangu.
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls which were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”
Zvino kwakauya kwandiri umwe wevatumwa vanomwe vakange vane ndiro nomwe dzizere nematambudziko manomwe ekupedzisira, akataura neni, achiti: Uya pano ndigokuratidza mwenga, mukadzi weGwayana.
10 He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
Zvino wakanditakurira muMweya kugomo guru uye refu, akandiratidza guta guru, Jerusarema dzvene, richiburuka kubva kudenga kubva kuna Mwari,
11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
rine kubwinya kwaMwari; uye chiedza charo chakaita sebwe rinokoshesesa, sebwe rejasipisi, rinonjenjemera sekrisitaro;
12 having a great and high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
uye rakange rine rusvingo rukuru uye rurefu, rine masuwo gumi nemaviri, nevatumwa gumi nevaviri pamusuwo, nemazita akanyorwa pamusoro, ari emarudzi gumi nemaviri evana vaIsraeri.
13 On the east were three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
Kumabvazuva masuwo matatu; kumaodzanyemba masuwo matatu; kuchamhembe masuwo matatu; nekumavirira masuwo matatu;
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
zvino rusvingo rweguta rwakange rwune nheyo gumi nembiri, nepadziri mazita evaapositori gumi nevaviri veGwayana.
15 He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.
Zvino wakataura neni wakange ane rutsanga rwegoridhe, kuti ayere guta, namasuwo aro, nerusingo rwaro.
16 The city is square. Its length is as great as its width. He measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand twelve stadia. Its length, width, and height are equal.
Zvino guta rakange rakamiswa rakaenzana mativi mana, nekureba kwaro kwakakura kudai sekufara; ndokuyera guta nerutsanga, rikasvika pamastadhia zvuru gumi nezviviri; kureba nekufara nekukwirira kwaro zvakaenzana.
17 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
Zvino wakayera rusvingo rwaro, mbimbi zana nemakumi mana nemana, chiyero chemunhu, chinova chemutumwa.
18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.
Uye maiva nechivakwa cherusvingo rwaro, jasipisi, uye guta riri goridhe rakakwana, rakafanana negirazi rakachenesesa.
19 The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire; the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
Nenheyo dzerusvingo rweguta dzakashongedzwa nebwe rimwe nerimwe rinokosha. Nheyo yekutanga ijasipisi, yepiri isafiri, yetatu ikarikidhoni, yechina iemaradhi,
20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
yeshanu isaridhonikisi, yetanhatu isaridhio, yechinomwe ikrisoriti, yerusere bheriri, yepfumbamwe topasi, yegumi kirisopirasi, yegumi neimwe hiasindi, yegumi nembiri ametesiti.
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
Zvino masuwo gumi nemaviri maparera gumi nemaviri; rimwe nerimwe remasuwo rakange riri reparera rimwe; uye nzira yemuguta igoridhe rakakwana segirazi rinonjenjemera.
22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
Zvino handina kuona tembere mukati marwo, nokuti Ishe Mwari Wemasimbaose itembere yarwo, neGwayana.
23 The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb.
Zvino guta harishaiwi zuva kana mwedzi kuvhenekera mariri; nokuti kubwinya kwaMwari kunorivhenekera, nemwenje waro iGwayana;
24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
zvino marudzi evanoponeswa achafamba muchiedza charo, nemadzimambo enyika achauisa kubwinya nerukudzo rwawo mariri.
25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
Zvino masuwo aro haangatongopfigwi masikati, nokuti usiku hahuchazovipo.
26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.
Uye vachauisa kubwinya nerukudzo rwendudzi mariri.
27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Uye hamungatongopindi chero chinhu chinosvibisa mariri, uye chinosemesa, uye nhema; asi vakanyorwa mubhuku reupenyu reGwayana.
