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, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
2 Ngĩona Itũũra rĩrĩa Itheru, Jerusalemu ĩrĩa njerũ, rĩgĩikũrũka riumĩte igũrũ kwa Ngai, rĩhaarĩirio ta mũhiki agemeirio mũthuuriwe.
I also saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned 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.
And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them.
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. Death will be no more, and there will no longer be mourning, crying, or pain, for the former things have passed away.”
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.”
Then he who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And he said to me, “Write this down, for these words are true and trustworthy.”
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.
He also said to me, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To him who thirsts I will freely give 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.
He who overcomes will inherit these things; I will be his God, and he will be my son.
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.”
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show yoʋ the wife, the bride of the Lamb.”
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.
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
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.
The city shone with the glory of God, and its radiance was like a very precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.
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.
It had a great, high wall with twelve gates. Twelve angels were at the gates, and on the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of the sons 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 gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates 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 wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve 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 is laid out as a square; its length is the same as its width. The angel measured the city with the rod and found it to be twelve thousand stadia. (The length, width, and height were all equal, each measuring twelve thousand stadia.)
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.
Then he measured its wall and found it to be one hundred forty-four cubits according to human measurement, which 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 made of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear 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 adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, agate; 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; and 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 twelve pearls, each one of the gates was made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent 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 in the city, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and so is the Lamb.
23 Itũũra rĩu inene rĩtibataire nĩ kwarĩrwo nĩ riũa kana mweri, nĩgũkorwo riiri wa Ngai nĩũrĩheaga ũtheri, nake Gatũrũme nĩwe tawa warĩo.
The city has no need of sun or moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
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 will bring the glory and honor of the nations into the city to present to God.
25 Gũtirĩ mũthenya o na ũmwe ihingo ciarĩo ikaahingwo, nĩgũkorwo kũu gũtigakorwo na ũtukũ.
Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, for there will be no night there.
26 Na nĩkuo makaarehe riiri na gĩtĩĩo cia ndũrĩrĩ.
They will bring the glory and honor of the nations 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.
But no unclean thing and nothing that causes an abomination or a lie will ever enter it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
