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 former heaven and the former earth were passed away: and the sea was 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, descending from God, out of heaven, prepared like 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 shall pitch his tent among them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be among them--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 he shall away wipe every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, nor grief, nor crying; nor 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, Write, for these are true and faithful words.
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 the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End: I will give to 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,
The conqueror shall inherit all things: and I will be to him a God, and he shall be to me 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 seven vials full of the seven last plagues; and spoke with me, saying, Come, and I will show you 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 brought me, in the Spirit, to a great and high mountain; and he showed me the city, the holy 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; (its luster was like that of a precious gem, even as 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.
having a great and high wall; having also twelve gates, and over the gates twelve angels, and names written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons 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; 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 on 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 spoke with me, had a golden reed, that he might measure the city, and its gates and 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 is square, and its length is equal to its breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: and its length and its breadth, and its hight 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 its wall, one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that 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 wall was built of jasper, and the city was pure gold, like refined 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 walls of the city, were adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation is jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, 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, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; and the twelfth, 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: each of the gates was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like 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 in it, 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 the Lord enlightened it, and the Lamb is the light of it.
24 Dukɔwo azɔ le eƒe kekeli nu, eye anyigbadzifiawo atsɔ woƒe atsyɔ̃ age ɖe eme.
And the nations of the saved shall walk in its light; and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and their honor 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 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 the honor 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 nothing unclean shall enter into it, nor anything which practices abomination and falsehood; but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
