< Revelation 21 >
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea exists no more.
Eye mekpɔ dziƒo yeye kple anyigba yeye, elabena dziƒo gbãtɔ kple anyigba gbãtɔ nu va yi, eye atsiaƒu aɖeke hã megali o.
2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Mekpɔ Du Kɔkɔe la si nye Yerusalem yeye la le ɖiɖim tso dziƒo tso Mawu gbɔ, eye woɖo atsyɔ̃ nɛ abe ŋugbetɔ si wowɔ leke na hena srɔ̃a ene.
3 And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their God.
Tete mese gbe gã aɖe tso fiazikpui la gbɔ le gbɔgblɔm be, “Kpɔ ɖa, Mawu ƒe nɔƒe le amegbetɔwo dome azɔ, eye wòanɔ wo gbɔ. Woanye eƒe dukɔ, Mawu ŋutɔ anɔ wo gbɔ, eye wòanye woƒe Mawu.
4 And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any more, for the former things have passed away.
Atutu aɖatsi sia aɖatsi ɖa le woƒe ŋkuwo dzi; ku alo konyifafa alo avifafa alo vevesese maganɔ anyi o, elabena nuɖoanyi xoxoawo nu va yi.”
5 And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says [to me], Write, for these words are true and faithful.
Ame si nɔ anyi ɖe fiazikpui la dzi la gblɔ be, “Mele nuwo katã wɔm yeyee!” Tete wògblɔ be, “Ŋlɔ nu sia da ɖi, elabena nya siawo nye nya siwo dzi woaka ɖo, eye wonye nyateƒenyawo hã.”
6 And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Eyi edzi gblɔ nam be, “Wowɔe vɔ. Nyee nye Alfa kple Omega, Gɔmedzedze kple Nuwuwu. Ame si tsikɔ le wuwum la, mana tsii wòano tso agbetsivudo la me femaxee.
7 He that overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be to him God, and he shall be to me son.
Ame si ɖu dzi la, anyi nu siawo katã ƒe dome, eye manye eƒe Mawu, eye eya hã anye vinye,
8 But to the fearful and unbelieving, [and sinners], and those who make themselves abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [is] in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. (Limnē Pyr )
gake vɔvɔ̃nɔtɔwo, dzimaxɔsetɔwo, ame vɔ̃ɖiwo, hlɔ̃dolawo, ahasiwɔlawo, akunyawɔlawo, trɔ̃subɔlawo kple alakpatɔwo katã la, woƒe nɔƒe anye aŋɔdzota si le bibim ŋɔdzitɔe la me. Esiae nye ku evelia.” (Limnē Pyr )
9 And there came one of the seven angels which had had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Mawudɔla adre siwo lé kplu adre siwo me dɔvɔ̃ adre mamlɛawo le la dometɔ ɖeka va gblɔ nam be, “Va, ne mafia ŋugbetɔ si nye Alẽvi la srɔ̃ la wò.”
10 And he carried me away in [the] Spirit, [and set me] on a great and high mountain, and shewed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,
Tete wòkɔm dzoe le Gbɔgbɔ la me heyi ɖe to gã kɔkɔ aɖe dzi, eye wòɖe Du Kɔkɔe, Yerusalem, si le ɖiɖim tso dziƒo tso Mawu gbɔ la fiam.
11 having the glory of God. Her shining [was] like a most precious stone, as a crystal-like jasper stone;
Ele keklẽm kple Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe, eye eƒe keklẽ le abe kpe xɔasi aɖe ene, eye wòle abe yaspakpe ene, eye eme kɔ keŋkeŋkeŋ abe kristalokpe ene.
12 having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are those of the twelve tribes of [the] sons of Israel.
Wotɔ kpɔ titri kɔkɔ aɖe ɖe eŋu, eye woɖe mɔnu wuieve siwo nu agbo le la ɖe gli la me, eye mawudɔla wuieve le agboawo nu. Woŋlɔ Israel ƒe to wuieveawo ƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe agboawo dzi.
13 On [the] east three gates; and on [the] north three gates; and on [the] south three gates; and on [the] west three gates.
Agbo etɔ̃ le ɣedzeƒe, etɔ̃ le anyiehe, etɔ̃ le dziehe, eye etɔ̃ le ɣetoɖoƒe.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Woɖo gɔmeɖokpe wuieve na du la ƒe gliwo, eye woŋlɔ Alẽvi la ƒe apostolo wuieveawo ƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe wo dzi.
15 And he that spoke with me had a golden reed [as] a measure, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
Mawudɔla si ƒo nu kplim la lé sikanudzidzenu ɖe asi be yeadzidze du la, eƒe agbowo kple eƒe gliwo.
16 And the city lies four-square, and its length [is] as much as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed — twelve thousand stadia: the length and the breadth and height of it are equal.
Wotso du la ale be eƒe kekeme kple didime siaa sɔ. Edzidze du la, eye wòkpɔ be eƒe didime, kekeme kple kɔkɔme katã nye dzidzeme ɖeka si nye kilomita akpe eve kple alafa eve.
17 And he measured its wall, a hundred [and] forty-four cubits, [a] man's measure, that is, [the] angel's.
Edzidze gli la ƒe titrime, eye le amegbetɔ ƒe dzidzeka si mawudɔla la lé la nu la, titrime la le mita blaade-vɔ-atɔ̃.
18 And the building of its wall [was] jasper; and the city pure gold, like pure glass:
Wotsɔ yaspakpe xɔasi ɖo gli lae, eye wotsɔ sika si me kɔ abe ahuhɔ̃e ene la tso du lae.
19 the foundations of the wall of the city [were] adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
Wotsɔ kpe xɔasi vovovowo ɖo atsyɔ̃ na dua ƒe gli ƒe gɔmeɖokpee. Yaspakpe nye fli gbãtɔ, wotsɔ safirkpe ɖo fli eveliae, fli etɔ̃lia nye kalkedonikpe, fli enelia nye emeraldkpe;
20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
woɖo fli atɔ̃lia kple sardonixkpe, fli adelia nye karneliakpe, adrelia nye krisolitekpe, enyilia nye berilkpe, asiekɛlia nye topazkpe, ewolia nye krisoprasekpe, wuiɖekɛlia nye yakintkpe, eye wuievelia nye ametistkpe.
21 And the twelve gates, twelve pearls; each one of the gates, respectively, was of one pearl; and the street of the city pure gold, as transparent glass.
Agbo wuieveawo nye kpe xɔasi wuieve, eye wowɔ agbo ɖe sia ɖe kple kpe xɔasi ɖeka. Wowɔ dumɔ gã la kple sika akuakua, eye eme dza abe ahuhɔ̃e ene.
22 And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
Nyemekpɔ gbedoxɔ aɖeke le du la me o, elabena Aƒetɔ Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ kple Alẽvi lae nye eƒe gbedoxɔ.
23 And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine for it; for the glory of God has enlightened it, and the lamp thereof [is] the Lamb.
Du la mehiã ɣe alo ɣleti be woaklẽ nɛ o, elabena Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe naa kekelii, eye Alẽvi lae nye eƒe akaɖi.
24 And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it.
Dukɔwo azɔ le eƒe kekeli nu, eye anyigbadzifiawo atsɔ woƒe atsyɔ̃ age ɖe eme.
25 And its gates shall not be shut at all by day, for night shall not be there.
Eƒe agbowo anɔ ʋuʋu ɖi ɖaa, elabena zã mado le afi ma o.
26 And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations to it.
Woatsɔ dukɔwo ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe kple bubu ava eme.
27 And nothing common, nor that maketh an abomination and a lie, shall at all enter into it; but those only who [are] written in the book of life of the Lamb.
Nu makɔmakɔ aɖeke mage ɖe eme gbeɖe o; nenema kee nye ŋunyɔnuwɔlawo kple ameblelawo hã, negbe ame siwo ƒe ŋkɔwo woŋlɔ ɖe Alẽvi la ƒe agbegbalẽ la me koe age ɖe eme.
