Kũguũrĩrio 22
1 Ningĩ mũraika ũcio akĩnyonia rũũĩ rwa maaĩ ma muoyo, makembu na makahenia o ta gĩcicio, rũgĩtherera ruumĩte gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Ngai na gĩa Gatũrũme
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb,
2 rũikũrũkĩire gatagatĩ ka njĩra ĩrĩa nene ya itũũra inene. Mĩena yeerĩ ya rũũĩ rũu, o mwena warĩ na mũtĩ wa muoyo, naguo waciaraga matunda mĩthemba ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, ũgaciaraga maciaro maguo o mweri. Namo mathangũ ma mũtĩ ũcio maarĩ ma kũhonia andũ a ndũrĩrĩ.
in the middle of her street. And on either side of the river was a tree of life producing twelve fruits, yielding each month's fruit monthly; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
3 Gũtigacooka kũgĩa na kĩrumi o na kĩrĩkũ. Gĩtĩ-kĩa-ũnene kĩa Ngai na gĩa Gatũrũme gĩgaakorwo kũu thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene, nacio ndungata ciake nĩikamũtungatagĩra.
There will be no accursed thing there, but the throne of God and of the Lamb are in her, and His slaves will minister to Him.
4 Nacio nĩikoonaga ũthiũ wake, narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩkandĩkwo ithiithi-inĩ ciao.
They will see His face and His name is on their foreheads.
5 Gũtigacooka kũgĩa ũtukũ. Nao matikabatario nĩ ũtheri wa tawa o na kana ũtheri wa riũa, nĩgũkorwo Mwathani Ngai nĩwe ũgaatuĩka ũtheri wao. Nao magaathamaka tene na tene. (aiōn g165)
Night will not exist there and they will need neither lamp nor sunlight, because the Lord God illuminates them. And they will reign forever and ever. (aiōn g165)
6 Nake mũraika ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ciugo icio nĩ cia kwĩhokwo, na nĩ cia ma. Nake Mwathani, o we Ngai wa maroho ma anabii, nĩatũmire mũraika wake nĩguo onie ndungata ciake maũndũ marĩa arĩ o nginya mekĩke ica ikuhĩ.”
Then He says to me: “These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent His angel to show to His slaves the things that must shortly take place.
7 “Na rĩrĩ, nĩngũũka o narua! Kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũrũmĩtie ciugo cia ũrathi ũrĩa ũrĩ ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ.”
Take note, I am coming swiftly! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 Niĩ, Johana-rĩ, nĩ niĩ ndaiguire na ngĩona maũndũ macio. Na rĩrĩa ndaarĩkirie kũmaigua o na kũmona-rĩ, ngĩgwa thĩ magũrũ-inĩ ma mũraika ũcio wanyonagia maũndũ macio ndĩmũhooe.
Now I, John, who heard and saw these things, when I had heard and seen I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things,
9 No akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩka ũguo! O na niĩ ndĩ ndungata hamwe nawe, na hamwe na ariũ na aarĩ a thoguo arĩa anabii, na arĩa othe marũmĩtie ciugo cia ibuku rĩĩrĩ. Hooya Ngai arĩ we!”
but he says to me: “Don't! I am your fellow slave and of your brothers the prophets, those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”
10 Agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũkahingĩrĩrie ciugo cia ũrathi wa ibuku rĩĩrĩ, nĩgũkorwo ihinda nĩrĩkuhĩrĩirie.
Then he says to me: “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.
11 Mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkaga ũũru nĩathiĩ na mbere gwĩka ũũru, nake ũrĩa kĩmaramari athiĩ na mbere na kũmaramara; na ũrĩa wĩkaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire athiĩ na mbere gwĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire; ningĩ ũrĩa mũtheru agĩthiĩ na mbere gũtuĩka mũtheru.”
He who acts unjustly let him act unjustly still, and let the filthy one be filthy still, and let the righteous one still practice righteousness, and let the holy one still be sanctified.”
12 “Na rĩrĩ, ngũũka o narua! Nakĩo kĩheo gĩakwa ndĩ nakĩo, na ngaahe o mũndũ kũringana na ũrĩa aneeka.
“Take note, I am coming swiftly, and my reward is with me to give to each one according to his work.
13 Niĩ nĩ niĩ Alifa na Omega, wa Mbere na wa Kũrigĩrĩria, ningĩ Kĩambĩrĩria o na Kĩrĩkĩro.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, the First and the Last.”
14 “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa mathambĩtie nguo ciao, nĩguo magĩe na rũtha rwa gũkinya mũtĩ-inĩ wa muoyo na matoonyere ihingo-inĩ makinye thĩinĩ wa itũũra rĩu.
(Blessed are those who do His commands, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, even to enter through the gates into the city.
15 Nakuo kũu nja gũgaikarwo nĩ magui, na arogi, na ahũũri ũmaraya, na oragani, na ahooi mĩhianano, na mũndũ ũrĩa wothe wendete maũndũ ma maheeni na akamekaga.
Outside are the ‘dogs’ and the sorcerers and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices a lie.)
16 “Niĩ, Jesũ, nĩndũmĩte mũraika wakwa agũkinyĩrie ũira ũyũ nĩ ũndũ wa makanitha. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Thuuna na Rũciaro rwa Daudi, na nĩ niĩ Njata ĩrĩa ngengu ya Rũciinĩ tene.”
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you, in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright morning Star.
17 Nake Roho o na mũhiki mekuuga atĩrĩ, “Ũka!” Nake ũrĩa ũkũigua nĩoige atĩrĩ, “Ũka!” Mũndũ o wothe mũnyootu, nĩoke; na ũrĩa wothe ũkwenda, nĩamũkĩre kĩheo kĩrĩa kĩa maaĩ ma muoyo, atekũgũra.
Both the Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ And let whoever hears say, ‘Come!’ And let whoever thirsts come; whoever wants to, let him take the water of life free of charge.
18 Ngũkaania mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũkũigua ciugo cia ũrathi wa ibuku rĩĩrĩ atĩrĩ: Mũndũ o wothe angĩciongerera ũndũ, Ngai nĩakamuongerera mĩthiro ĩrĩa ĩtaarĩirio thĩinĩ wa ibuku rĩĩrĩ.
“I myself testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If any one adds to them, may God add to him the seven plagues written in this book!
19 Na mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkeeheria ciugo thĩinĩ wa ibuku rĩĩrĩ rĩa ũrathi, Ngai nĩakamwehereria igai rĩake kuuma mũtĩ-inĩ wa muoyo, o na kuuma itũũra-inĩ rĩu itheru, iria itaarĩirio thĩinĩ wa ibuku rĩĩrĩ.
And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God remove his share from the tree of life and out of the Holy City, that stand written in this book!”
20 Ũrĩa ũroimbũra maũndũ macio ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ nĩguo, ngũũka o narua.” Ameni. Ũka, Mwathani Jesũ!
He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming swiftly!” Oh yes! Come, Sovereign Jesus!
21 Wega wa Mwathani Jesũ ũrogĩa na andũ a Ngai. Ameni.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.
