Revelation 22
1 He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,
Kisha yule malaika akanionyesha mto wa maji ya uzima, maangavu kama kioo yakitiririka kutoka kwenye kile kiti cha enzi cha Mungu na cha Mwana-Kondoo,
2 in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
kupitia katikati ya barabara kuu ya huo mji. Kwenye kila upande wa huo mto kulikuwa na mti wa uzima utoao matunda ya aina kumi na mbili, ukizaa matunda yake kila mwezi. Nayo majani ya mti huo ni kwa ajili ya uponyaji wa mataifa.
3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him.
Katika mji huo hakutakuwa tena na laana, bali kiti cha enzi cha Mungu na cha Mwana-Kondoo kitakuwamo humo na watumishi wake watamtumikia,
4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
nao watamwona uso wake na Jina lake litakuwa kwenye vipaji vya nyuso zao.
5 There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever. (aiōn g165)
Usiku hautakuwako tena, wala hawatahitaji mwanga wa taa au wa jua, kwa maana Bwana Mungu atakuwa nuru yao, nao watatawala milele na milele. (aiōn g165)
6 He said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his bondservants the things which must happen soon.”
Kisha yule malaika akaniambia, “Maneno haya ni ya kuaminika na kweli. Bwana, Mungu wa roho za manabii, alimtuma malaika wake kuwaonyesha watumishi wake yale ambayo hayana budi kutukia upesi.”
7 “Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
“Tazama, naja upesi! Amebarikiwa yeye ayashikaye maneno ya unabii wa kitabu hiki.”
8 Now I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who had shown me these things.
Mimi, Yohana, ndiye niliyesikia na kuyaona mambo haya. Nami nilipokwisha kuyasikia na kuyaona, nilianguka chini nikasujudu miguuni pa yule malaika aliyekuwa akinionyesha mambo hayo.
9 He said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”
Lakini yeye akaniambia, “Usifanye hivyo! Mimi ni mtumishi pamoja nawe na ndugu zako manabii na wote wanaoyashika maneno ya kitabu hiki. Msujudie Mungu!”
10 He said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.
Kisha akaniambia, “Usiyafunge maneno ya unabii yaliyomo katika kitabu hiki, kwa sababu wakati umekaribia.
11 He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”
Atendaye mabaya na aendelee kutenda mabaya, aliye mchafu na aendelee kuwa mchafu, yeye atendaye haki na aendelee kutenda haki, na yeye aliye mtakatifu na aendelee kuwa mtakatifu.”
12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.
“Tazama, naja upesi! Thawabu yangu i mkononi mwangu, nami nitampa kila mtu sawasawa na alivyotenda.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
Mimi ni Alfa na Omega, wa Kwanza na wa Mwisho, Mwanzo na Mwisho.
14 Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.
“Wamebarikiwa wale wafuao mavazi yao, ili wapate haki ya kuuendea huo mti wa uzima na kuuingia huo mji kupitia kwenye malango yake.
15 Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Huko nje wako mbwa, wachawi, wazinzi, wauaji, waabudu sanamu, na kila mtu apendaye udanganyifu na kuufanya.
16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
“Mimi, Yesu, nimemtuma malaika wangu kushuhudia mambo haya kwa ajili ya makanisa. Mimi ndimi Shina na Mzao wa Daudi, ile Nyota ya Asubuhi ingʼaayo.”
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.
Roho na bibi arusi wanasema, “Njoo!” Naye asikiaye na aseme, “Njoo!” Yeyote mwenye kiu na aje, na kila anayetaka na anywe maji ya uzima bure.
18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book.
Namwonya kila mtu asikiaye maneno ya unabii wa kitabu hiki: Mtu yeyote akiongeza humo chochote, Mungu atamwongezea mapigo yaliyoandikwa katika kitabu hiki.
19 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.
Kama mtu yeyote akipunguza humo chochote katika maneno ya unabii wa kitabu hiki, Mungu atamwondolea sehemu yake katika ule mti wa uzima na katika ule mji mtakatifu, ambao habari zake zimeandikwa katika kitabu hiki.
20 He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus!
Yeye anayeshuhudia mambo haya asema, “Hakika, naja upesi!” Amen. Njoo, Bwana Yesu.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.
Neema ya Bwana Yesu iwe na watakatifu wote. Amen.
