Apokalypsy 21
1 Le nahatrea likerañe vao naho tane vao iraho, fa songa nimosaoñe añe i likerañe valoha’ey naho ty tane valoha’e toy, ie tsy aman-driake.
Then [in the vision] I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and the oceans no longer existed.
2 Le nahatrea i Rova Miavakey, Ierosaleme vao, nizotso hirik’ andindìñe añe boak’ aman’ Añahare, hinalankañe hoe enga vao soa hamiñe, ho a i vali’ey.
I saw [God’s] holy city, which is the new [city of] Jerusalem. It was coming down out of heaven from God. [The city] had been prepared [and decorated] {[God] had prepared [and decorated the city]} as [SIM] a bride is decorated {decorates herself} [beautifully in order to marry] her husband.
3 Le tsinanoko ty fiarañanañañe mafe boak’ amy fiambesatsey nanao ty hoe: Ingo te am’ondatio ty kivohon’ Añahare, ie hitrao-pimoneñe am’ iereo; ho ondati’e iereo naho ho am’ iareo ao t’i Andrianañahare ho Andrianañahare’ iareo,
I heard a loud voice that spoke from the throne [of God]. It said, “Listen to this! Now God will live with people. He will live [right in the midst of] them [DOU]! They will be his people. God himself will be with them, and he will be their God.
4 naho ho faopaohe’e am-pihaino’ iareo ze atao ranomaso, naho tsy ho aman-kavilasy ka, ndra fandalàñe, ndra firovetañe ndra fangirifiriañe, fa nimosaoñe añe o raha taoloo.
[As a result], he will [cause them to no longer be sad. It will be as though he will] [MTY] wipe every tear from their eyes. [None of them] will ever again die or mourn or cry [DOU] or suffer pain, because the former things [that make us sad] will have disappeared.”
5 Le hoe i Mpiambesatse amy fiambesatseiy: Heheke, kila vaoeko. Hoe ka re: Patero, fa añoñe naho to o tsara zao.
Then [God], who sits on the throne, said, “Listen to this! I am [now] making everything new!” He said [to me]: “Write these things [that I have told you], because you can trust [that I will certainly cause them to happen].”
6 Le hoe re tamako: Fa heneke! Izaho i A naho i Zedey, i Fifotorañey naho i Figadoñañey. Hazotsoko tsy amam-bili’e boak’ amy ranon-kaveloñe migoangoañey ze taliñiereñe.
He said to me, “I have finished [doing all the things I needed to do]. I am the one who began all things [MET] and the one who will cause all things to end [MET]. To everyone who is [spiritually] thirsty [MET], I will (freely give/give as a free gift) water from the spring [that causes people] to live [forever].
7 Ho lovae’ ty maharebake irezay, le ho Andrianañahare’e iraho vaho ho anako re.
I will give this to every person who is victorious over [the evil powers] (OR, [over Satan]). I will be their God, and they will be my children.
8 Fe o mahimahiñeo naho o tsi-miatoo naho o lo-tserekeo naho o mpañoho-dozao naho o mañarapiloo naho o mpamorekeo naho o mpiato am-pahasiveo vaho ze hene haremborake ro hanañ’ anjara amy antara manodotse an-tsolifaray ao. Izay ty havilasy faharoe. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
But those who are cowardly, those who do not believe [in me], those [who do] detestable things, those who are murderers, those who sin sexually, those who commit sorcery, those who worship idols, and every liar, will [all suffer] in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. [Anyone who suffers in that lake] will be dying the second time.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
9 Le nimb’eo ty raik’ amy anjely fito nitam-pinga fito pea i hankàñe fito honka’e rey nisaontsy amako, nanao ty hoe: Mb’etoa, hatoroko azo ty enga vao, ty vali’ i Vik’ añondriy.
One of the seven angels who had one of the seven bowls that had been full of [the wine/liquid causing] [MTY] the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come [with me] and I will show you [the people who have permanently united with Christ, the one who is like a] lamb! They will be [like] [MET] a bride [for him].”
10 Le nendese’e añ’arofo mb’am-bohitse jabajaba naho mitiotiotse añe, naho natoro’e ahy i rova miavakey, Ierosaleme mivotrake hirik’ andindìñe ao boak’ aman’ Añahare,
Then, while [God’s] Spirit [controlled me], the angel took/carried me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed me [God’s] holy city, [the New] Jerusalem. It was coming down out of heaven from God.
11 aman’ engen’ Añahare, vaho hoe vato saro-bily, hoe vato jaspy nikantsokantsoñe hoe kristaly ty hazava’e.
It was shining with his glory. The city was shining like a very precious jasper stone [shines, and] it was clear like crystal.
12 Ama’e ty kijoly ra’elahy naho abo reketse lalam-bey folo ro’amby, naho anjely folo ro’amby amy lalam-bey rey, vaho pinatetse am’ iereo ty tahina’ i foko folo-ro’ambi’ i ana’ Israele reiy.
[Around the city] was a very high wall. The wall had twelve gates. An angel was at each gate. The names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written {[God] had written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel} over the gates. [Each gate had the name of one tribe].
13 Telo ty lalam-bey atiñanañe, naho telo ty lalam-bey avaratse, naho telo ty lalam-bey atimo, vaho telo ty lalam-bey ahandrefa.
Three gates were on the east [side], three gates were on the north [side], three gates were on the south [side], and three gates were on the west [side].
14 Le fahañe folo ro’amby ty ioreña’ i kijoli’ i rovaiy, naho am’iereo i tahinañe folo-ro’ambi’ i Firàheñe folo-ro’ ambi’ i Vik’ añondriy reiy.
The wall of the city had twelve foundation [stones]. On each foundation [stone was] the name of one of the twelve apostles of [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb.
15 Le amy nisaontsy amakoy ty kobay fanjeheañe volamena, hanjehe i rovay naho o lalam-bei’eo vaho i kijoli’ey.
The angel who was speaking to me carried a golden measuring rod, in order to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
16 Nalahatse ho efa-mira i rovay vaho mira ty andava’e naho ty am-pohe’e. Zinehe’e amy kobaiy i rovay le 12 000 stadione, mira ty andava’e naho ty am-pohe’e vaho ty haabo’e.
The city was square [in shape]; it was as long as it was wide. After the angel measured the city with his rod, [he reported that it was] (1,500 miles/2,400 kilometers) long, and that its height was the same as [its length and width].
17 Le zinehe’e i kijoliy, kiho zato tsy efapolo efats’ amby am-panjehea’ ondaty—fa izay ty norihe’ i anjeliy.
He measured its wall [and reported that it was] ([216 ft./70 meters]) [thick] (OR, [high]). The angel used the measure that people [normally use].
18 Le vato jaspy ty firafi’ i kijoliy naho volamena ki’e hoe fitaratse mikantsonkantsoñe i rovay.
The [city] wall was made of [something like the green stone that we call] jasper. The city [itself] was [made of something like] pure gold [that looked] like clear glass.
19 Le nihamine’ ze hene karazam-bato soa ty faha’ i kijoli’ i rovaiy. Jaspy ty faha’ i valoha’ey, safira ty faharoe, kalkedona ty fahatelo, emerode ty fah’ efatse,
The foundations of the wall of the city were beautifully made with [wonderful stones that are like] precious stones [on earth]. The first foundation [stone was a crystalline stone like] jasper, the second [foundation stone was a blue stone like] sapphire, the third [foundation stone was a green stone like] agate, the fourth [foundation stone was a green stone like] emerald,
20 sardoniksa ty faha lime, karnelia ty fah’ eneñe, krisolita ty faha-fito, berila ty faha valo, topaze ty faha sive, krisopraso ty fahafolo, jakinta ty fahafolo-raik’ amby, ametista ty fahafolo-ro’ amby.
the fifth [foundation stone was a brown and white layered stone like] sardonyx, the sixth [foundation stone was a red stone like] carnelian, the seventh [foundation stone was a yellow stone like] chrysolite, the eighth [foundation stone was a green stone like] beryl, the ninth [foundation stone was a yellow stone like] topaz, the tenth [foundation stone was a green stone like] chrysoprase, the eleventh [foundation stone was a blue stone like] hyacinth, and the twelfth [foundation stone was a purple stone like] amethyst.
21 Le hange folo-ro’amby i lalam-bey folo ro’amby rey, sindre hange raike i lalam-bey rey, vaho volamena ki’e hoe fitaratse mangarahara o lalan-drovao.
The twelve gates [of the city] were [something like huge] pearls. Each gate was like [it was] a single pearl. The [ground of] the main plaza of the city (OR, The streets of the city) [appeared to be] pure gold [that looked] like clear glass.
22 Tsy nahatrea toetse miavake ao iraho, amy te i Talè Andrianañahare, Tsitongerèñey, naho i Vik’ añondriy ro kiboho’e.
There was no temple in the city. The Lord God Almighty [himself], and the [one who is like a] lamb, are [there, so there was no need for] [MET] a temple.
23 Le tsy paia’ i rovay hipisañe ama’e i àndroy ndra i volañey, fa hazavae’ ty engen’ Añahare; vaho i Vik’ añondriy ro failo’e.
The city will not need the sun or the moon to light the city, because the glory of God will illuminate the city, and [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, will also be its light.
24 I hazavà’ey ro hañaveloa’ o rinombake amo fifeheañeo, vaho hinday o volonahe’eo mb’ama’e o mpanjaka’ ty tane toio.
The people of [MTY] the nations will live with the light of the city [shining upon them]. And the kings of the earth will bring their wealth into the city [to honor God and the one who is like a lamb].
25 Tsy harindriñe ka o lalam-beio te antoandro, amy te tsy ho aman-kaleñe ty ao,
The gates of the city will not be shut {No one will shut the gates of the city} [at the end of each day as they usually are shut], because there will be no night there.
26 vaho hindeseñe mb’ama’e mb’eo ty engeñe naho ty asi’ o fifeheañeo,
The [people of the] world will also bring their wealth into the city to honor [God and the one who is like a lamb].
27 le tsy mb’ia hizilik’ ao ndra inoñ’ inoñe maleotse ndra o mpanao hativàñeo ndra o mpandañitseo, fa o misokitse am-boken-kavelo’ i Vik’ añondrio avao.
No one who is morally impure, no one who does things [that God considers] detestable, and no one who tells lies, will ever enter that city. Only those people whose names are written in the book of the [one who is like a] lamb {whose [names] the [one who is like a] lamb has written in his book}, [the names] of people who have [eternal] life, will be there.
