Revelation 22
1 The angel showed me the river of water [that causes people who drink from it] to live [forever]. The water was sparkling and clear like crystal. The river was flowing out from the throne where God and the [one who is like a] lamb [were sitting].
І показав він мені чисту ріку́ живої води, ясну́, мов кришта́ль, що випливала з престолу Бога й Агнця.
2 It flowed down through the middle of the [main] street of the city. On each side of the river were trees [bearing fruit that causes people who eat it] to live forever. [The trees] bear twelve [crops] (OR, twelve [kinds]) of fruit; [they] produce one crop each month. The [people of the] nations [MTY] [use] the leaves of these trees [as medicine] in order that they may feel stronger
Посеред його вулиці, і по цей бік і по той бік ріки́ — дерево життя, що родить дванадцять раз плоди, кожного місяця прино́сячи плід свій. А листя дерев — на вздоро́влення наро́дів.
3 There will never be [anyone or anything there that God] will be [under God’s] curse. The throne of God and the [one who is like a] lamb will be in the city. And God’s servants will worship him there.
І жодного прокля́ття більше не бу́де. І бу́де в ньому престол Бога та Агнця, а раби Його будуть служити Йому,
4 They will see him face-to-face, and his name will be [written] {[he] will [write] his name} on their foreheads.
і побачать лице Його, а Ймення Його — на їхніх чо́лах.
5 There will never again be night. [God’s servants] will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine his light upon them. And they will rule forever. (aiōn g165)
А но́чі вже більше не бу́де, і не бу́де потреби в світлі світильника, ані в світлі сонця, бо освітлює їх Господь, Бог, а вони царюватимуть вічні віки́. (aiōn g165)
6 The angel said to me: “These words that [God has revealed to you] are true, and he will certainly do what he has promised to do. The Lord God who ([inspires] the prophets/tells the prophets what to say) sent his angel to show the people who serve him the events that must happen soon.”
І сказав він до мене: „Це вірні й правдиві слова, — а Госпо́дь, Бог ду́хів пророчих, послав Свого а́нгола, щоб він показав своїм рабам, що́ незаба́ром статися мусить.
7 [Jesus says to all his people], “Listen [to] this! I am coming soon; [God will abundantly] bless everyone who obeys what [has been commanded] in this book.”
Ото, незаба́ром прихо́джу. Блаженний, хто зберігає пророчі слова цієї книги!“
8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw [in a vision] these things [that I have written down]. When I had heard and seen [them], I immediately knelt down at the feet of the angel who was showing them to me, in order to worship him.
І я, Іван, чув і бачив оце. А коли я почув та побачив, я впав до ніг ангола, що мені це показував, щоб вклонитись йому.
9 But he said to me, “Do not [worship me] I am [just] your fellow servant! I am also the fellow servant of your fellow believers who are (the prophets/the ones who tell messages that come directly from God), and I am a fellow servant of those who obey what has been commanded in this book. [Instead], worship God!”
І сказав він до мене: „Таж ні! Бо я співслуга твій і братів твоїх пророків, і тих, хто зберігає слова цієї книги. Богові вклонися!“
10 He also said to me, “Do not keep secret the message about what [God] has foretold in this book, because it is almost time [MTY] for him to [what he has promised to do in this message].
І сказав він до мене: „Не запеча́туй слів пророцтва цієї книги. Час бо близьки́й!
11 [Since that time is near, if] those who act in an evil manner [want to] continue to act that way [IRO], [that is up to them. God will soon] ([pay them back/punish them]) [for that. If] those who are vile [want to] continue to be vile [IRO], [that is up to them. God will soon] ([pay them back/punish them]) [for that]. Those who are [acting] righteously should continue to act righteously. And those who are holy should continue to be holy.”
Неправедний — хай чинить неправедні́сть ще, і поганий — хай ще опога́нюється. А праведний — хай ще чинить праведність, а святий — нехай ще освячується!
12 [Jesus says this to everyone]: “Listen! I am coming soon! And I will pay back everyone according to what each one has done, by [punishing or] rewarding them.
Ото, незаба́ром прихо́джу, і зо Мною заплата Моя, щоб кожному віддати згідно з діла́ми його.
13 I [am] the one who began all things [MET] and the one who will cause all things to end [MET]. I existed before [all things existed] and I will exist at the end [of all things] [DOU].
Я Альфа й Оме́га, Перший і Останній, Поча́ток і Кінець.
14 [God] is very pleased with the people who wash their robes, [making themselves spiritually clean] [MET], because they will be able to [eat the fruit of] [MTY] the tree [that enables people] to live [forever], and because they will [be able] to enter the gates into the [holy] city.
Блаженні, хто випере ша́ти свої, щоб мати право на дерево життя, і ввійти бра́мами в місто!
15 [People who are unholy] will not be allowed to enter the city. They include people who practice sorcery, people who sin sexually, murderers, idol worshipers, and everyone who enjoys telling lies and are continual liars. [They can never enter that city].”
А поза ним будуть пси, і чарівники́, і розпу́сники, і душогуби, і ідоля́ни, і кожен, хто любить та чинить неправду.
16 “I, Jesus, sent my angel in order that he might tell you who are in the congregations [that all] these things [that have been said are true]. I am the descendant of [King] David [whom the prophets promised would come] [MET]. I am the [one who is like] the bright morning star [MET], the one [that Moses promised would come].”
Я, Ісус, послав Свого Ангола, щоб засві́дчити вам це у Церква́х. Я корінь і рід Дави́дів, зоря ясна́ і досві́тня!
17 [God’s] Spirit and [his people, who are like] [MET] the bride [of Christ], say [to each one who desires to believe], “Come!” Whoever hears [this] should also say [to each one who desires to believe], “Come!” [Spiritually thirsty people should come] [MET]! Everyone who desires the water [that enables people to] live [forever] should take it as a free gift!
А Дух і неві́ста говорять: „Прийди!“А хто чує, хай каже: „Прийди!“І хто пра́гне, хай при́йде, і хто хоче, хай воду життя бере да́рмо!“
18 “I, [Jesus, solemnly] warn everyone who hears what [I] have foretold in this book: If anyone adds anything to this message, God will cause him to experience the plagues that are {that [I] have} described in this book.
Свідкую я кожному, хто чує слова пророцтва цієї книги: Коли хто до цього додасть що, та накладе́ на нього Бог кари, що написані в книзі оцій.
19 If anyone omits any of the message about what [I] have foretold in this book, God will take away that person’s right [to eat fruit from] [MTY] the tree [that enables people] to live [forever]. He [will also take away] that person’s right [to enter] God’s city. [Both these things] are described {[I] have described [both these things]} in this book.”
А коли хто що віді́йме від слів книги пророцтва цього, то відійме Бог частку його від дерева життя, і від міста святого, що написане в книзі оцій.
20 [Jesus], who says that [all] the things written here are true, says, “Certainly I am coming soon!” [I, John, reply], “(May it be so!/Amen!) Lord Jesus, come!”
Той, Хто свідку́є, говорить оце: „Так, — незаба́ром прийду́!“Амінь. Прийди, Господи Ісусе!
21 [I pray that our] Lord Jesus [will continue to] act kindly to all [of you who are God’s people]. (Amen!/May it be so!)
Благода́ть Господа нашого Ісуса Христа зо всіма́ вами! Амі́нь.
