< Revelation 21 >
1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
Ngĩcooka ngĩona igũrũ rĩerũ na thĩ njerũ, tondũ igũrũ rĩrĩa rĩa mbere na thĩ ĩrĩa ya mbere nĩcieherete igathira, narĩo iria rĩrĩa inene rĩtiarĩ ho.
2 I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, that came down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
Ngĩona Itũũra rĩrĩa Itheru, Jerusalemu ĩrĩa njerũ, rĩgĩikũrũka riumĩte igũrũ kwa Ngai, rĩhaarĩirio ta mũhiki agemeirio mũthuuriwe.
3 I heard a great voice from the throne saying, “Look! The dwelling place of God is with human beings, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and he will be their God.
Ningĩ ngĩigua mũgambo mũnene uumĩte gĩtĩ-inĩ-kĩa-ũnene, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu gĩikaro kĩa Ngai kĩrĩ hamwe na andũ, nake nĩegũtũũrania nao. Megũtuĩka andũ ake, nake Ngai we Mwene arĩkoragwo hamwe nao, na atuĩke Ngai wao.
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, or grieving, or crying, or pain. The former things have passed away.
Nake nĩakamagiria maithori mothe mathire maitho-inĩ mao. Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ gũgaakorwo na gĩkuũ, o na kana gũcakaya, kana kĩrĩro, kana ruo, nĩgũkorwo maũndũ marĩa ma mbere nĩmeherete magathira.”
5 The one who was seated on the throne said, “Look! I make all things new.” He said, “Write this down because these words are trustworthy and true.”
Nake ũrĩa waikarĩire gĩtĩ-kĩa-ũnene akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kwerũhia ndĩrerũhia maũndũ mothe!” Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Andĩka ũndũ ũyũ, nĩgũkorwo ciugo ici nĩ cia kwĩhokwo, na nĩ cia ma.”
6 He said to me, “These things are done! I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. To the one who thirsts I will give drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.
Agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ: “Maũndũ nĩmahingu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Alifa o na Omega, Kĩambĩrĩria o na Kĩrĩkĩro. Ũrĩa mũnyootu nĩngamũhe maaĩ anyue kuuma gĩthima kĩa maaĩ ma muoyo, anyue o ũguo tũhũ atekũgũra.
7 The one who conquers will inherit these things, and I will be his God, and he will be my son.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũtoorania nĩwe ũkaagaya maũndũ macio mothe, na niĩ nĩngatuĩka Ngai wake, nake atuĩke mũrũ wakwa.
8 But as for the cowards, the faithless, the detestable, the murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. That is the second death.” (Limnē Pyr )
No andũ arĩa iguoya, na arĩa matetĩkĩtie, na arĩa imaramari, na arĩa oragani, na ahũũri maraya, na arogi, na ahooi mĩhianano, na aheenania-rĩ, othe ũtũũro wao no iria-inĩ rĩa mwaki wa ũbiriti. Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩkuũ gĩa keerĩ.” (Limnē Pyr )
9 One of the seven angels came to me, the one who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and he said, “Come here. I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
Ũmwe wa araika acio mũgwanja arĩa maarĩ na mbakũri mũgwanja iria ciaiyũrĩte mĩthiro ĩrĩa mũgwanja ya kũrigĩrĩria agĩũka, akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka, nĩngũkuonia mũhiki, na nĩwe mũtumia wa Gatũrũme.”
10 Then 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.
Nake akĩnguua ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Roho, akĩndwara kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩarĩ kĩnene kĩraaya na igũrũ, akĩnyonia Jerusalemu, Itũũra rĩu inene Itheru rĩgĩikũrũka riumĩte igũrũ kwa Ngai.
11 Jerusalem had the glory of God, and its brilliance was like a very precious jewel, like a stone of crystal-clear jasper.
Itũũra rĩu rĩarĩ na riiri wa Ngai, naguo ũkengi warĩo wahaanaga ta wa kahiga ka goro mũno, o ta kahiga karĩa getagwo njathibi, gakengu o ta gĩcicio.
12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
Narĩo rĩarĩ na rũthingo rũnene, rũraihu na igũrũ, rwarĩ na ihingo ikũmi na igĩrĩ, na araika ikũmi na eerĩ ihingo-inĩ icio. Nacio ihingo icio nĩciandĩkĩtwo marĩĩtwa ma mĩhĩrĩga ĩrĩa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ ya ciana cia Isiraeli.
13 On the east were three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
Mwena wa irathĩro warĩ na ihingo ithatũ, na mwena wa gathigathini ihingo ithatũ, na mwena wa gũthini ihingo ithatũ, na mwena wa ithũĩro ihingo ithatũ.
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Naruo rũthingo rwa itũũra rĩu inene rwarĩ na mĩthingi ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, na igũrũ rĩayo ĩkaandĩkwo marĩĩtwa ma atũmwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ a Gatũrũme.
15 The one who spoke with me had a measuring rod made of gold to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
Nake mũraika ũcio wanjarĩirie aarĩ na rũthanju rwa thahabu rwa gũthima itũũra rĩu inene, o na ihingo ciarĩo, na thingo ciarĩo.
16 The city was laid out in a square; its length was the same as its width. He measured the city with the measuring rod, twelve thousand stadia in length (its length, width, and height were the same).
Narĩo itũũra rĩu inene rĩakĩtwo rĩiganaine mĩena yothe, ũraihu warĩo ũkaiganana na wariĩ warĩo. Nĩathimire itũũra rĩu inene na rũthanju rũu, na akĩona atĩ rĩarĩ na ũraihu wa kilomita ta 2,200, ũkaiganana na wariĩ warĩo, na kwambata na igũrũ kwarĩo.
17 He also measured its wall, 144 cubits thick by human measurement (which is also the angel's measure).
Ningĩ agĩthima rũthingo rwarĩo, na ũtungu waruo ũgĩkorwo warĩ mĩkono igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo ĩna na ĩna, rũthimĩtwo na gĩthimi kĩa mũndũ, na no kĩo mũraika aahũthagĩra.
18 The wall was built of jasper and the city of pure gold, like clear glass.
Rũthingo rũu rwakĩtwo na njathibi, narĩo itũũra rĩu inene rĩakĩĩtwo na thahabu ĩrĩa therie, ĩgathera o ta gĩcicio.
19 The foundations of the wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first was jasper, the second was sapphire, the third was agate, the fourth was emerald,
Nayo mĩthingi ĩyo ya thingo cia itũũra rĩu inene yagemetio na mĩthemba yothe ya mahiga ma goro. Mũthingi wa mbere warĩ wa njathibi, na wa keerĩ warĩ wa yakuti ĩrĩa ya bururu, na wa gatatũ warĩ wa yacimu, na wa kana warĩ wa thumarati,
20 the fifth was onyx, the sixth was carnelian, the seventh was chrysolite, the eighth was beryl, the ninth was topaz, the tenth was chrysoprase, the eleventh was jacinth, and the twelfth was amethyst.
na wa gatano warĩ wa onigithi, na wa gatandatũ warĩ wa wakiki ũrĩa mũtune, na wa mũgwanja warĩ wa yakuti ĩrĩa ĩhaana thahabu, na wa kanana warĩ wa thabaricandi, na wa kenda warĩ wa yakuti ĩrĩa ĩhaana ngoikoni, na wa ikũmi warĩ wa wakiki ũrĩa ũhaana nyeki nduru, na wa ikũmi na ĩmwe warĩ wa wakiki ũrĩa wa bururu, na wa ikũmi na igĩrĩ warĩ wa amethuthito.
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls; each of the gates was made from a single pearl. The streets of the city were pure gold, like transparent glass.
Nacio ihingo iria ikũmi na igĩrĩ nĩ ruru ikũmi na igĩrĩ, o kĩhingo gĩathondeketwo na ruru ĩmwe. Nayo njĩra ĩrĩa nene ya itũũra rĩu inene yarĩ ya thahabu therie, yonithanagia mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ ta gĩcicio.
22 I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
Na gũtirĩ hekarũ ndonire kũu itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, tondũ Mwathani Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe na Gatũrũme nĩo hekarũ yakuo.
23 The city had no need of the sun or the moon in order to shine on it because the glory of God shone on it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Itũũra rĩu inene rĩtibataire nĩ kwarĩrwo nĩ riũa kana mweri, nĩgũkorwo riiri wa Ngai nĩũrĩheaga ũtheri, nake Gatũrũme nĩwe tawa warĩo.
24 The nations will walk by the light of that city. The kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.
Nacio ndũrĩrĩ igaathiiaga na ũtheri warĩo, nao athamaki a thĩ marehe riiri wao thĩinĩ warĩo.
25 Its gates will not be shut during the day, and there will be no night there.
Gũtirĩ mũthenya o na ũmwe ihingo ciarĩo ikaahingwo, nĩgũkorwo kũu gũtigakorwo na ũtukũ.
26 They will bring the splendor and the honor of the nations into it,
Na nĩkuo makaarehe riiri na gĩtĩĩo cia ndũrĩrĩ.
27 but nothing unclean will ever enter into it, nor anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
Gũtirĩ kĩndũ gĩtarĩ gĩtheru gĩgaatoonya itũũra rĩu o narĩ, o na kana mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ ma njono kana ma maheeni. O tiga arĩa marĩĩtwa mao mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩrĩa rĩa Gatũrũme rĩa muoyo.
