< 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 there was no more sea.
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 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Ngĩona Itũũra rĩrĩa Itheru, Jerusalemu ĩrĩa njerũ, rĩgĩikũrũka riumĩte igũrũ kwa Ngai, rĩhaarĩirio ta mũhiki agemeirio mũthuuriwe.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them, [and 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 And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for 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 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
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 And he said to me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely.
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 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũtoorania nĩwe ũkaagaya maũndũ macio mothe, na niĩ nĩngatuĩka Ngai wake, nake atuĩke mũrũ wakwa.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and lewd men, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which 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 And there came to me one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
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 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending 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 Having the glory of God: and her light [was] like to a stone most precious, even like a jasper-stone, clear as crystal;
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 And had a wall great and high, [and] had 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.
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 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 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the 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 And he that talked with me, had a golden reed to measure the city, and 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 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the hight of it are equal.
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 And he measured the wall of it a hundred [and] forty four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
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 And the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper: and the city [was] pure gold, like clear glass.
Rũthingo rũu rwakĩtwo na njathibi, narĩo itũũra rĩu inene rĩakĩĩtwo na thahabu ĩrĩa therie, ĩgathera o ta gĩcicio.
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city [were] garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation [was] jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an 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, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprase; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an 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 And the twelve gates [were] twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl; and the street of the city [was] pure gold, as it were 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 And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Na gũtirĩ hekarũ ndonire kũu itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, tondũ Mwathani Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe na Gatũrũme nĩo hekarũ yakuo.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God enlightened it, and the Lamb [is] the light of it.
Itũũra rĩu inene rĩtibataire nĩ kwarĩrwo nĩ riũa kana mweri, nĩgũkorwo riiri wa Ngai nĩũrĩheaga ũtheri, nake Gatũrũme nĩwe tawa warĩo.
24 And the nations of them who are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.
Nacio ndũrĩrĩ igaathiiaga na ũtheri warĩo, nao athamaki a thĩ marehe riiri wao thĩinĩ warĩo.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut by day: for there shall be no night there.
Gũtirĩ mũthenya o na ũmwe ihingo ciarĩo ikaahingwo, nĩgũkorwo kũu gũtigakorwo na ũtukũ.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
Na nĩkuo makaarehe riiri na gĩtĩĩo cia ndũrĩrĩ.
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie; but they who 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.
