< Revelation 21 >
1 And I saw a new Heaven and a new earth; for the first Heaven and the first earth were gone, and the sea no longer exists.
Apre sa, mwen wè yon lòt sièl ak yon lòt latè. Premie sièl la ak premie latè a te disparèt. pa t' gen okenn lanmè ankò.
2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God and made ready like a bride attired to meet her husband.
Apre sa, mwen wè lavil Bondye a, lòt Jerizalèm nèf lan, ki t'ap desann soti bò kot Bondye ye nan sièl la. Li te byen abiye, li te pare tankou yon lamarye ki pral kontre fiyanse li.
3 And I heard a loud voice, which came from the throne, say, "God's dwelling place is among men and He will dwell among them and they shall be His peoples. Yes, God Himself will be among them.
Mwen tande yon vwa ki t'ap soti bò fòtèy la, li t'ap di byen fò: Koulye a, kay Bondye a se nan mitan moun l'ap ye. L'ap rete nan mitan yo, lèzòm ap yon pèp pou li. Se Bondye menm k'ap viv avèk yo, li va Bondye pou yo.
4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death shall be no more; nor sorrow, nor wail of woe, nor pain; for the first things have passed away."
Li gen pou l' cheche tout dlo nan je yo. p'ap gen lanmò ankò, yo p'ap nan lapenn ankò, yo p'ap janm plenyen ankò, yo p'ap janm soufri ankò. Tout vie bagay sa yo pral disparèt.
5 Then He who was seated on the throne said, "I am re-creating all things." And He added, "Write down these words, for they are trustworthy and true."
Lè sa a, moun ki te chita sou fòtèy la di: Koulye a, mwen fè tout bagay vin nèf. Apre sa li di mwen: Ou mèt ekri sa, paske pawòl mwen se pawòl ki vre, pawòl tout moun dwe kwè.
6 He also said, "They have now been fulfilled. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To those who are thirsty I will give the privilege of drinking from the well of the Water of Life without payment.
Apre sa li di ankò: Bon. Tout bagay fin fèt. Mwen se A ak Z, mwen se konmansman, mwen se finisman. Si yon moun swaf dlo, m'a ba li bwè dlo gratis nan sous dlo ki bay lavi a.
7 All this shall be the heritage of him who overcomes, and I will be his God and he shall be one of My sons.
Se sa moun ki va genyen batay la va resevwa nan men m'. M'a va Bondye yo, y'a va pitit mwen.
8 But as for cowards and the unfaithful, and the polluted, and murderers, fornicators, and those who practise magic or worship idols, and all liars--the portion allotted to them shall be in the Lake which burns with fire and sulphur. This is the Second Death." (Limnē Pyr )
Men, pou moun ki lach yo, moun ki pa kenbe pawòl yo, ansasen yo, bann moun deprave yo, moun k'ap fè maji yo, moun k'ap adore zidòl ansanm ak moun k'ap bay manti, plas yo se nan letan dife ak souf k'ap boule a yo ye. Se sa yo rele dezyèm lanmò a. (Limnē Pyr )
9 Then there came one of the seven angels who were carrying the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues. "Come with me," he said, "and I will show you the Bride, the Lamb's wife."
Yonn nan sèt zanj ki te kenbe sèt gode plen ak sèt dènye kalamite yo vin di mwen: Vini non. Mwen pral moutre ou lamarye a, fiyanse ti Mouton an.
10 So in the Spirit he carried me to the top of a vast, lofty mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God,
Nan vizyon an, mwen wè zanj lan mennen m' sou tèt yon mòn byen wo. Li moutre m' lavil Bondye a, Jerizalèm ki desann soti bò kote Bondye ye nan sièl la.
11 and bringing with it the glory of God. It shone with a radiance like that of a very precious stone--such as a jasper, bright and transparent.
Li te klere byen bèl ak limiè prezans Bondye a. Lavil la te klere tankou yon piè bijou ki koute chè anpil, tankou yon piè jasp klè kou kristal.
12 It has a wall, massive and high, with twelve large gates, and in charge of the gates were twelve angels. And overhead, above the gates, names were inscribed which are those of the twelve tribes of the descendants of Israel.
Li te gen yon gwo miray byen wo avèk douz pòtay. Te gen yon zanj nan chak pòtay pou veye yo. Sou pòtay yo, yo te ekri non douz branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.
Te gen twa pòtay sou chak kote: twa pòtay sou bò lès, twa pòtay sou bò nò, twa pòtay sou bò sid, twa pòtay sou bò lwès.
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and engraved upon them were twelve names--the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
Miray la te kanpe sou douz gwo wòch. Yo te ekri non douz apòt ti Mouton an sou wòch yo.
15 Now he who was speaking to me had a measuring-rod of gold, with which to measure the city and its gates and its wall.
Zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan te gen yon baton pou mezire nan men li, yon baton wozo fèt an lò, pou l' te pran mezi lavil la, mezi pòtay yo ak mezi miray la.
16 The plan of the city is a square, the length being the same as the breadth; and he measured the city furlong by furlong, with his measuring rod--it is twelve hundred miles long, and the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
Lavil la te tankou yon bwat kare, longè l' te menm ak lajè li. Zanj lan mezire lavil la ak baton wozo l' la. Lavil la gen demildesan (2.200) kilomèt longè. Lajè l' ak wotè l' te menm ak longè li.
17 And he measured the wall of it--a wall of a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to human measure, which was also that of the angel.
Zanj lan mezire miray la: miray la te gen swasanndouz (72) mèt sou wotè, dapre mezi òdenè li t'ap sèvi a.
18 The solid fabric of the wall was jasper; and the city itself was made of gold, resembling transparent glass.
Miray la te bati an jasp. Lavil la menm te an bon lò, li te klere kou kristal.
19 As for the foundation-stones of the city wall, which were beautified with various kinds of precious stones, the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius,
Gwo wòch fondasyon miray lavil la te byen òne ak tout kalite piè bijou gwo pri. Premie wòch la te an jasp, dezyèm lan an safi, twazièm lan an agat, katriyèm lan an emwòd,
20 the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
senkièm lan an oniks, sizièm lan an sadwan, setièm lan an krizolit, witièm lan an beril, nevièm lan an topaz, dizyèm lan an krizopraz, onzièm lan an tikwaz, douzyèm lan an ametis.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each of them consisting of a single pearl. And the main street of the city was made of pure gold, resembling transparent glass.
Douz pòtay yo te douz bèl grenn pèl. Chak pòtay yo te fèt ak yon sèl grenn pèl. Tout lari nan lavil la te fèt an bon lò, klè kou kristal.
22 I saw no sanctuary in the city, for the Lord God, the Ruler of all, is its Sanctuary, and so is the Lamb.
Mwen pa t' wè tanp nan lavil la, paske Mèt la, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, te tanp li ansanm ak ti Mouton an.
23 Nor has the city any need of the sun or of the moon, to give it light; for the glory of God has shone upon it and its lamp is the Lamb.
Lavil la pa t' bezwen ni solèy, ni lalin pou klere l' paske limiè prezans Bondye a te klere l' nèt, ti Mouton an te tankou yon lanp pou li.
24 The nations will live their lives by its light; and the kings of the earth are to bring their glory into it.
Gremesi limiè l' la, tout nasyon ki sou latè va wè pou yo mache. Tout wa latè yo va pote richès yo ba li.
25 And in the daytime (for there will be no night there) the gates will never be closed;
Pòtay yo va rete louvri tout lajounen. Men, paske la p'ap janm fè nwit, pòtay yo p'ap janm fèmen.
26 and the glory and honor of the nations shall be brought into it.
Tout richès nasyon yo ansanm ak tout bèl bagay yo genyen va anpile nan lavil la.
27 And no unclean thing shall ever enter it, nor any one who is guilty of base conduct or tells lies, but only they whose names stand recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life.
Men, anyen ki pa bon pou sèvis Bondye p'ap antre nan lavil la. Ni yo p'ap kite moun k'ap fè bagay ki bay degoutans, moun k'ap bay manti, mete pie yo nan lavil la. Moun ki va antre nan lavil la, se sèlman moun ki gen non yo ekri nan liv ki nan men ti Mouton an, liv ki gen non moun ki gen lavi a.
