Kũguũrĩrio 21
1 Ngĩcooka ngĩona igũrũ rĩerũ na thĩ njerũ, tondũ igũrũ rĩrĩa rĩa mbere na thĩ ĩrĩa ya mbere nĩcieherete igathira, narĩo iria rĩrĩa inene rĩtiarĩ ho.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and the sea no longer existed.
2 Ngĩona Itũũra rĩrĩa Itheru, Jerusalemu ĩrĩa njerũ, rĩgĩikũrũka riumĩte igũrũ kwa Ngai, rĩhaarĩirio ta mũhiki agemeirio mũthuuriwe.
I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, prepared like a bride made beautiful for her husband.
3 Ningĩ ngĩigua mũgambo mũnene uumĩte gĩtĩ-inĩ-kĩa-ũnene, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu gĩikaro kĩa Ngai kĩrĩ hamwe na andũ, nake nĩegũtũũrania nao. Megũtuĩka andũ ake, nake Ngai we Mwene arĩkoragwo hamwe nao, na atuĩke Ngai wao.
I heard a loud voice from the throne say, “Now God's home is with human beings and he will live with them. They will be his people. God himself will be with them as their God.
4 Nake nĩakamagiria maithori mothe mathire maitho-inĩ mao. Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ gũgaakorwo na gĩkuũ, o na kana gũcakaya, kana kĩrĩro, kana ruo, nĩgũkorwo maũndũ marĩa ma mbere nĩmeherete magathira.”
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will never happen again. There will be no mourning or crying or pain ever again for the former world no longer exists.”
5 Nake ũrĩa waikarĩire gĩtĩ-kĩa-ũnene akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kwerũhia ndĩrerũhia maũndũ mothe!” Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Andĩka ũndũ ũyũ, nĩgũkorwo ciugo ici nĩ cia kwĩhokwo, na nĩ cia ma.”
The one who sits on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” He told me, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
6 Agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ: “Maũndũ nĩmahingu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Alifa o na Omega, Kĩambĩrĩria o na Kĩrĩkĩro. Ũrĩa mũnyootu nĩngamũhe maaĩ anyue kuuma gĩthima kĩa maaĩ ma muoyo, anyue o ũguo tũhũ atekũgũra.
Then he said to me, “Everything's done! I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. To anyone who is thirsty I will give the free gift of water from the spring of the water of life.
7 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũtoorania nĩwe ũkaagaya maũndũ macio mothe, na niĩ nĩngatuĩka Ngai wake, nake atuĩke mũrũ wakwa.
Those who are victorious will inherit all these things, and I will be their God and they shall be my children.
8 No andũ arĩa iguoya, na arĩa matetĩkĩtie, na arĩa imaramari, na arĩa oragani, na ahũũri maraya, na arogi, na ahooi mĩhianano, na aheenania-rĩ, othe ũtũũro wao no iria-inĩ rĩa mwaki wa ũbiriti. Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩkuũ gĩa keerĩ.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
But anyone who is a coward, who doesn't trust me, who does disgusting things, who is a murderer, who is sexually immoral, who practices witchcraft, who worships idols, who tells lies—their chosen place is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
9 Ũmwe wa araika acio mũgwanja arĩa maarĩ na mbakũri mũgwanja iria ciaiyũrĩte mĩthiro ĩrĩa mũgwanja ya kũrigĩrĩria agĩũka, akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka, nĩngũkuonia mũhiki, na nĩwe mũtumia wa Gatũrũme.”
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and spoke to me. He told me, “Come with me. I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.”
10 Nake akĩnguua ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Roho, akĩndwara kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩarĩ kĩnene kĩraaya na igũrũ, akĩnyonia Jerusalemu, Itũũra rĩu inene Itheru rĩgĩikũrũka riumĩte igũrũ kwa Ngai.
He took me in the Spirit to the top of a very high mountain. There he showed me the holy city Jerusalem descending from God out of heaven,
11 Itũũra rĩu rĩarĩ na riiri wa Ngai, naguo ũkengi warĩo wahaanaga ta wa kahiga ka goro mũno, o ta kahiga karĩa getagwo njathibi, gakengu o ta gĩcicio.
shining with the glory of God's presence. The light sparkled like that from a gemstone, a jasper, clear and bright.
12 Narĩo rĩarĩ na rũthingo rũnene, rũraihu na igũrũ, rwarĩ na ihingo ikũmi na igĩrĩ, na araika ikũmi na eerĩ ihingo-inĩ icio. Nacio ihingo icio nĩciandĩkĩtwo marĩĩtwa ma mĩhĩrĩga ĩrĩa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ ya ciana cia Isiraeli.
The city wall was high and thick, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. On the gates were inscribed the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.
13 Mwena wa irathĩro warĩ na ihingo ithatũ, na mwena wa gathigathini ihingo ithatũ, na mwena wa gũthini ihingo ithatũ, na mwena wa ithũĩro ihingo ithatũ.
There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.
14 Naruo rũthingo rwa itũũra rĩu inene rwarĩ na mĩthingi ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, na igũrũ rĩayo ĩkaandĩkwo marĩĩtwa ma atũmwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ a Gatũrũme.
The city wall had twelve foundations, and inscribed on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Nake mũraika ũcio wanjarĩirie aarĩ na rũthanju rwa thahabu rwa gũthima itũũra rĩu inene, o na ihingo ciarĩo, na thingo ciarĩo.
The angel who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
16 Narĩo itũũra rĩu inene rĩakĩtwo rĩiganaine mĩena yothe, ũraihu warĩo ũkaiganana na wariĩ warĩo. Nĩathimire itũũra rĩu inene na rũthanju rũu, na akĩona atĩ rĩarĩ na ũraihu wa kilomita ta 2,200, ũkaiganana na wariĩ warĩo, na kwambata na igũrũ kwarĩo.
The city was square. The length was the same as the width. He measured the city with the rod, it was 12,000 furlongs. The length, width, and height were all the same.
17 Ningĩ agĩthima rũthingo rwarĩo, na ũtungu waruo ũgĩkorwo warĩ mĩkono igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo ĩna na ĩna, rũthimĩtwo na gĩthimi kĩa mũndũ, na no kĩo mũraika aahũthagĩra.
He measured the wall and it was 144 cubits thick in human measurements that the angel was using.
18 Rũthingo rũu rwakĩtwo na njathibi, narĩo itũũra rĩu inene rĩakĩĩtwo na thahabu ĩrĩa therie, ĩgathera o ta gĩcicio.
The wall was built out of jasper. The city was made of pure gold that looked like glass.
19 Nayo mĩthingi ĩyo ya thingo cia itũũra rĩu inene yagemetio na mĩthemba yothe ya mahiga ma goro. Mũthingi wa mbere warĩ wa njathibi, na wa keerĩ warĩ wa yakuti ĩrĩa ya bururu, na wa gatatũ warĩ wa yacimu, na wa kana warĩ wa thumarati,
The foundations of the city wall were decorated with all kinds of gemstones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
20 na wa gatano warĩ wa onigithi, na wa gatandatũ warĩ wa wakiki ũrĩa mũtune, na wa mũgwanja warĩ wa yakuti ĩrĩa ĩhaana thahabu, na wa kanana warĩ wa thabaricandi, na wa kenda warĩ wa yakuti ĩrĩa ĩhaana ngoikoni, na wa ikũmi warĩ wa wakiki ũrĩa ũhaana nyeki nduru, na wa ikũmi na ĩmwe warĩ wa wakiki ũrĩa wa bururu, na wa ikũmi na igĩrĩ warĩ wa amethuthito.
the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth, chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
21 Nacio ihingo iria ikũmi na igĩrĩ nĩ ruru ikũmi na igĩrĩ, o kĩhingo gĩathondeketwo na ruru ĩmwe. Nayo njĩra ĩrĩa nene ya itũũra rĩu inene yarĩ ya thahabu therie, yonithanagia mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ ta gĩcicio.
The twelve gates were made of pearl, each one made from a single pearl. The main street was made of pure gold, clear like glass.
22 Na gũtirĩ hekarũ ndonire kũu itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, tondũ Mwathani Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe na Gatũrũme nĩo hekarũ yakuo.
I did not see a temple there, because the Lord God the All-powerful One, and the Lamb, they are its temple.
23 Itũũra rĩu inene rĩtibataire nĩ kwarĩrwo nĩ riũa kana mweri, nĩgũkorwo riiri wa Ngai nĩũrĩheaga ũtheri, nake Gatũrũme nĩwe tawa warĩo.
The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it because the glory of God provides its light—the Lamb is its lamp.
24 Nacio ndũrĩrĩ igaathiiaga na ũtheri warĩo, nao athamaki a thĩ marehe riiri wao thĩinĩ warĩo.
The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory into the city.
25 Gũtirĩ mũthenya o na ũmwe ihingo ciarĩo ikaahingwo, nĩgũkorwo kũu gũtigakorwo na ũtukũ.
The gates of the city will never be shut during the day (and there will be no night there).
26 Na nĩkuo makaarehe riiri na gĩtĩĩo cia ndũrĩrĩ.
The nations' honor and glory will be brought into the city.
27 Gũtirĩ kĩndũ gĩtarĩ gĩtheru gĩgaatoonya itũũra rĩu o narĩ, o na kana mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ ma njono kana ma maheeni. O tiga arĩa marĩĩtwa mao mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩrĩa rĩa Gatũrũme rĩa muoyo.
Nothing unclean will ever enter into it, or anyone who worships idols, or who is a liar—only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
