Nyaɖeɖefia 21
1 Eye mekpɔ dziƒo yeye kple anyigba yeye, elabena dziƒo gbãtɔ kple anyigba gbãtɔ nu va yi, eye atsiaƒu aɖeke hã megali o.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth was gone, and the sea is now no more.
2 Mekpɔ Du Kɔkɔe la si nye Yerusalem yeye la le ɖiɖim tso dziƒo tso Mawu gbɔ, eye woɖo atsyɔ̃ nɛ abe ŋugbetɔ si wowɔ leke na hena srɔ̃a ene.
And I John saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Tete mese gbe gã aɖe tso fiazikpui la gbɔ le gbɔgblɔm be, “Kpɔ ɖa, Mawu ƒe nɔƒe le amegbetɔwo dome azɔ, eye wòanɔ wo gbɔ. Woanye eƒe dukɔ, Mawu ŋutɔ anɔ wo gbɔ, eye wòanye woƒe Mawu.
And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: Behold the tabernacle of God with men, and he will dwell with them. And they shall be his people; and God himself with them shall be their God.
4 Atutu aɖatsi sia aɖatsi ɖa le woƒe ŋkuwo dzi; ku alo konyifafa alo avifafa alo vevesese maganɔ anyi o, elabena nuɖoanyi xoxoawo nu va yi.”
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and death shall be no more, nor mourning, nor crying, nor sorrow shall be any more, for the former things are passed away.
5 Ame si nɔ anyi ɖe fiazikpui la dzi la gblɔ be, “Mele nuwo katã wɔm yeyee!” Tete wògblɔ be, “Ŋlɔ nu sia da ɖi, elabena nya siawo nye nya siwo dzi woaka ɖo, eye wonye nyateƒenyawo hã.”
And he that sat on the throne, said: Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me: Write, for these words are most faithful and true.
6 Eyi edzi gblɔ nam be, “Wowɔe vɔ. Nyee nye Alfa kple Omega, Gɔmedzedze kple Nuwuwu. Ame si tsikɔ le wuwum la, mana tsii wòano tso agbetsivudo la me femaxee.
And he said to me: It is done. I am Alpha and Omega; the beginning and the end. To him that thirsteth, I will give of the fountain of the water of life, freely.
7 Ame si ɖu dzi la, anyi nu siawo katã ƒe dome, eye manye eƒe Mawu, eye eya hã anye vinye,
He that shall overcome shall possess these things, and I will be his God; and he shall be my son.
9 Mawudɔla adre siwo lé kplu adre siwo me dɔvɔ̃ adre mamlɛawo le la dometɔ ɖeka va gblɔ nam be, “Va, ne mafia ŋugbetɔ si nye Alẽvi la srɔ̃ la wò.”
And there came one of the seven angels, who had the vials full of the seven last plagues, and spoke with me, saying: Come, and I will shew thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
10 Tete wòkɔm dzoe le Gbɔgbɔ la me heyi ɖe to gã kɔkɔ aɖe dzi, eye wòɖe Du Kɔkɔe, Yerusalem, si le ɖiɖim tso dziƒo tso Mawu gbɔ la fiam.
And he took me up in spirit to a great and high mountain: and he shewed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,
11 Ele keklẽm kple Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe, eye eƒe keklẽ le abe kpe xɔasi aɖe ene, eye wòle abe yaspakpe ene, eye eme kɔ keŋkeŋkeŋ abe kristalokpe ene.
Having the glory of God, and the light thereof was like to a precious stone, as to the jasper stone, even as crystal.
12 Wotɔ kpɔ titri kɔkɔ aɖe ɖe eŋu, eye woɖe mɔnu wuieve siwo nu agbo le la ɖe gli la me, eye mawudɔla wuieve le agboawo nu. Woŋlɔ Israel ƒe to wuieveawo ƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe agboawo dzi.
And it had a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and in the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
13 Agbo etɔ̃ le ɣedzeƒe, etɔ̃ le anyiehe, etɔ̃ le dziehe, eye etɔ̃ le ɣetoɖoƒe.
On the east, three gates: and on the north, three gates: and on the south, three gates: and on the west, three gates.
14 Woɖo gɔmeɖokpe wuieve na du la ƒe gliwo, eye woŋlɔ Alẽvi la ƒe apostolo wuieveawo ƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe wo dzi.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them, the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Mawudɔla si ƒo nu kplim la lé sikanudzidzenu ɖe asi be yeadzidze du la, eƒe agbowo kple eƒe gliwo.
And he that spoke with me, had a measure of a reed of gold, to measure the city and the gates thereof, and the wall.
16 Wotso du la ale be eƒe kekeme kple didime siaa sɔ. Edzidze du la, eye wòkpɔ be eƒe didime, kekeme kple kɔkɔme katã nye dzidzeme ɖeka si nye kilomita akpe eve kple alafa eve.
And the city lieth in a foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the golden reed for twelve thousand furlongs, and the length and the height and the breadth thereof are equal.
17 Edzidze gli la ƒe titrime, eye le amegbetɔ ƒe dzidzeka si mawudɔla la lé la nu la, titrime la le mita blaade-vɔ-atɔ̃.
And he measured the wall thereof an hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is of an angel.
18 Wotsɔ yaspakpe xɔasi ɖo gli lae, eye wotsɔ sika si me kɔ abe ahuhɔ̃e ene la tso du lae.
And the building of the wall thereof was of jasper stone: but the city itself pure gold, like to clear glass.
19 Wotsɔ kpe xɔasi vovovowo ɖo atsyɔ̃ na dua ƒe gli ƒe gɔmeɖokpee. Yaspakpe nye fli gbãtɔ, wotsɔ safirkpe ɖo fli eveliae, fli etɔ̃lia nye kalkedonikpe, fli enelia nye emeraldkpe;
And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper: the second, sapphire: the third, a chalcedony: the fourth, an emerald:
20 woɖo fli atɔ̃lia kple sardonixkpe, fli adelia nye karneliakpe, adrelia nye krisolitekpe, enyilia nye berilkpe, asiekɛlia nye topazkpe, ewolia nye krisoprasekpe, wuiɖekɛlia nye yakintkpe, eye wuievelia nye ametistkpe.
The fifth, sardonyx: the sixth, sardius: the seventh, chrysolite: the eighth, beryl: the ninth, a topaz: the tenth, a chrysoprasus: the eleventh, a jacinth: the twelfth, an amethyst.
21 Agbo wuieveawo nye kpe xɔasi wuieve, eye wowɔ agbo ɖe sia ɖe kple kpe xɔasi ɖeka. Wowɔ dumɔ gã la kple sika akuakua, eye eme dza abe ahuhɔ̃e ene.
And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, one to each: and every several gate was of one several pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22 Nyemekpɔ gbedoxɔ aɖeke le du la me o, elabena Aƒetɔ Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ kple Alẽvi lae nye eƒe gbedoxɔ.
And I saw no temple therein. For the Lord God Almighty is the temple thereof, and the Lamb.
23 Du la mehiã ɣe alo ɣleti be woaklẽ nɛ o, elabena Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe naa kekelii, eye Alẽvi lae nye eƒe akaɖi.
And the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it. For the glory of God hath enlightened it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof.
24 Dukɔwo azɔ le eƒe kekeli nu, eye anyigbadzifiawo atsɔ woƒe atsyɔ̃ age ɖe eme.
And the nations shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour into it.
25 Eƒe agbowo anɔ ʋuʋu ɖi ɖaa, elabena zã mado le afi ma o.
And the gates thereof shall not be shut by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 Woatsɔ dukɔwo ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe kple bubu ava eme.
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 Nu makɔmakɔ aɖeke mage ɖe eme gbeɖe o; nenema kee nye ŋunyɔnuwɔlawo kple ameblelawo hã, negbe ame siwo ƒe ŋkɔwo woŋlɔ ɖe Alẽvi la ƒe agbegbalẽ la me koe age ɖe eme.
There shall not enter into it any thing defiled, or that worketh abomination or maketh a lie, but they that are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
