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 were passed away; and there was no more sea.
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, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, 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 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 shall be with them, and 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 there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: 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 upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
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 unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst 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 overcometh shall inherit all 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 unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
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 carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending 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 her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear 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 had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at 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; on the north three gates; 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 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 talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
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 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 height of it 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 and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the 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 of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto 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 garnished 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 were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one 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 and the Lamb are the temple of it.
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 had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 Dukɔwo azɔ le eƒe kekeli nu, eye anyigbadzifiawo atsɔ woƒe atsyɔ̃ age ɖe eme.
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 Eƒe agbowo anɔ ʋuʋu ɖi ɖaa, elabena zã mado le afi ma o.
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all 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.
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
