< Revelation 22 +
1 And he pointed out to me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, issuing forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,
Kisha malaika akanionesha mto wa maji ya uzima, maji yalikuwa ya mng'ao kama wa bilauri. Yalikuwa yakitiririka kutoka katika kiti cha enzi cha Mungu na cha Mwana Kondoo
2 in the midst of the broadway thereof. And, on this side of the river and on that, was a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, every several month, yielding its fruit; and, the leaves of the tree, were for the healing of the nations,
Kupitia katikati ya mtaa wa mji. Katika kila pembe ya mto palikuwa na mti wa uzima, unaozaa aina kumi na mbili za matunda, na huzaa matunda kila mwezi. Majani ya mti ni kwa ajili ya uponyaji wa mataifa.
3 And, no curse, shall there be, any more; and, the throne of God and of the Lamb, shall be, therein, —and his servants will render divine service unto him,
Wala hapatakuwa na laana yoyote tena. Kiti cha enzi cha Mungu na cha Mwana Kondoo kitakuwemo ndani ya mji, na watumishi wake watamtumikia.
4 and they shall see his face, and, his name, [shall be] upon their foreheads.
Watamuona uso wake, na jina lake litakuwa juu ya vipaji vya nyuso zao.
5 And, night, shall be, no more; and they have no need of the light of a lamp or the light of a sun, because, the Lord, God, will give them light, —and they shall reign unto the ages of ages. (aiōn )
Hapatakuwa na usiku tena; wala hapatakuwa na hitaji la mwanga wa taa au jua kwa sababu Bwana Mungu ataangaza juu yao. Nao watatawala milele na milele. (aiōn )
6 And he said unto me—These words, are faithful and true; and, the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, hath sent his messenger, to point out, unto his servants, the things which must needs come to pass with speed.
Malaika akaniambia, “Maneno haya ni ya kuaminika na kweli. Bwana Mungu wa roho za manabii alimtuma malaika wake kuwaonesha watumishi wake kitakachotokea hivi karibuni.”
7 And—Lo! I come speedily! Happy, is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this scroll.
“Tazama! Ninakuja upesi! Amebarikiwa yeye anayeyatii maneno ya unabii wa kitabu hiki.”
8 And, I, John, am he that was hearing and seeing these things; and, when I had heard and seen, I fell down to do homage at the feet of the messenger who had been pointing out unto me these things, —
Mimi, Yohana, ndiye niliyesikia na kuona mambo haya. Nilipoyasikia na kuyaona, nilianguka chini mwenyewe mbele ya miguu ya malaika kumwabudu, malaika aliyenionesha mambo haya.
9 and he saith unto me—See [thou do it] not! A fellow-servant, am I, of thee, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them who keep the words of this scroll: unto God, do homage.
Akaniambia, “Usifanye hivyo! Mimi ni mtumishi mwenzako, pamoja na ndugu zako manabii, pamoja na wale wanaotii maneno ya kitabu hiki. Mwabudu Mungu!”
10 And he saith unto me—Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, for, the season, is, near:
Akaniambia, “Usiyatie muhuri maneno ya unabii wa kitabu hiki, maana wakati umekaribia.
11 He that is doing unjustly, let him do unjustly, still, and, he that is filthy, let him be made filthy, still; and, he that is righteous, let him do righteousness, still, and, he that is holy, let him be hallowed, still: —
Asiye mwenye haki, aendelee kutokuwa mwenye haki. Ambaye ni mchafu kimaadili, na aendelee kuwa mchafu kimaadili. Mwenye haki, na aendelee kuwa mwenye haki. Aliye mtakatifu, na aendelee kuwa mtakatifu.”
12 Lo! I come speedily, and my reward is with me, to render unto each one as, his, work is.
“Tazama! Naja upesi. Ujira wangu uko pamoja nami, kumlipa kila mmoja kulingana na alichokifanya.
13 I, am the A and the Z, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
Mimi ni Alfa na Omega, wa Kwanza na wa Mwisho, Mwanzo na Mwisho.
14 Happy, they who are washing their robes, that their right may be unto the tree of life and, by the gates, they may enter into the city.
Wamebarikiwa wale waoshao mavazi yao ili kwamba wapate haki ya kula kutoka katika mti wa uzima na kuuingia mji kupitia malangoni.
15 Outside, are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the unchaste, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one loving and doing falsehood.
Nje kuna mbwa, wachawi, wazinzi, wauwaji, waabudu sanamu, na kila apendaye na ashuhudiaye ushahidi wa uongo.
16 I, Jesus, have sent my messenger, to bear witness unto you of these things, for the assemblies. I, am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright and the morning Star.
Mimi, Yesu, nimemtuma malaika wangu kuwashuhudia kuhusu mambo haya kwa makanisa. Mimi ni mzizi wa uzao wa Daudi, Nyota ya Asubuhi ing'aayo.”
17 And, the Spirit and the Bride, say—Come! and, he that heareth, let him say—Come! and, he that is athirst, let him come, —he that will, let him take of the water of life, freely.
Roho na Bibi harusi asema, “Njoo!” Na yeye asikiaye aseme, “Njoo!” Yeyote aliye na kiu, na aje, na yeyote anayetamani, na apate maji ya uzima bure.
18 I, bear witness, unto every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this scroll: —If anyone shall lay aught upon them, God, will lay upon him, the plagues which are written in this scroll;
Namshuhudia kila mtu asikiaye maneno ya unabii wa kitabu hiki: Kama yeyote ataongeza katika hayo, Mungu atamuongezea mapigo yaliyoandikwa katika kitabu hiki.
19 And, if anyone shall take away from the words of this prophetic scroll, God, will take away his part, —from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, —[from] the things written in this scroll.
Kama mtu yeyote atayaondoa maneno ya kitabu hiki cha unabii, Mungu ataondoa sehemu yake katika mti wa uzima na katika mji mtakatifu, ambayo habari zake zimeandikwa ndani ya kitabu hiki.
20 He that beareth witness of these things, saith—Yea! I come, speedily. Amen! come, Lord Jesus!
Yeye ashuhudiaye mambo haya asema, “Ndiyo! Naja upesi.” Amina! Njoo, Bwana Yesu!
21 The favour of the Lord Jesus [Christ] be with the saints.
Neema ya Bwana Yesu iwe na kila mtu. Amina.
