Whakakitenga 21
1 A i kite ahau i te rangi hou, i te whenua hou: kua pahemo hoki te rangi tuatahi, me te whenua tuatahi; a kahore atu he moana.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 I kite ano ahau i te pa tapu, i Hiruharama hou, e heke iho ana i te rangi i te Atua, rite rawa, ano he wahine marena hou kua oti te whakapaipai mo tana tane.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 I rongo ano ahau i te reo nui i te rangi e mea ana, Na, kei nga tangata te tapenakara o te Atua, a e noho ia ki a ratou, ko ratou hoki hei iwi mana, ko te Atua nei ano hei a ratou, hei Atua mo ratou:
And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them, [and be] their God.
4 Ka murua hoki e ia nga roimata katoa i o ratou kanohi; a kore ake he mate; kahore hoki he aue, kahore he tangi, kahore he mamae, i nga wa i muri nei: kua pahemo atu hoki nga mea o mua.
And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things have passed away.
5 A ka korero mai tera e noho ra i runga i te torona, Na, ka hanga houtia e ahau nga mea katoa. I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Tuhituhia: no te mea he pono, he tika enei kupu.
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Kua oti enei mea. Ko ahau te Arepa, te Omeka, te timatanga, te whakamutunga. Ka hoatu noa e ahau ki te tangata matewai he wai i te puna o te wai o te ora.
And he said to me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, e whiwhi ia ki enei mea; ko ahau hoki hei Atua mona, ko ia hei tama maku.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 Na, ko te hunga wehi, ko te hunga whakateka, ko te hunga whakarihariha, ko nga kaikohuru, ko te hunga moepuku, ko te hunga makutu, ko te hunga karakia ki te whakapakoko, ko te hunga teka katoa, ko te wahi mo ratou kei te roto e ka ana i te ahi, i te whanariki: ko te matenga tuarua tenei. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
9 Na ka haere mai ki ahau tetahi o nga anahera e whitu, kei a ratou nei nga oko e whitu e ki ana i nga whiu whakamutunga e whitu; ka ki mai ki ahau, ka mea, Haere mai, maku e whakakite ki a koe te wahine marena hou, te wahine a te Reme.
And there came to me one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 Na haria ana ahau e ia i roto i te Wairua ki tetahi maunga nui, tiketike, a ka whakakitea mai ki ahau te pa tapu, a Hiruharama, e heke iho ana i te rangi i te Atua.
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Kei taua pa ano te kororia o te Atua: rite tonu tona marama ki to te kohatu utu nui whakaharahara, ano he kohatu hahapa, marama tonu me he karaihe;
Having the glory of God: and her light [was] like to a stone most precious, even like a jasper-stone, clear as crystal;
12 He taiepa kohatu ano tona, he mea nui, tiketike, tekau ma rua nga tatau, kotahi tekau ma rua ano nga anahera i nga tatau, tuhituhi rawa ki te ingoa, ara ki nga ingoa o nga hapu kotahi tekau ma rua o nga tama a Iharaira:
And had a wall great and high, [and] had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
13 I te rawhiti e toru nga tatau; i te hauraro e toru nga tatau; i te tonga e toru nga tatau; i te hauauru e toru nga tatau.
On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 A ko te taiepa o te pa, kotahi tekau ma rua ona turanga, kei aua turanga ano nga ingoa o nga apotoro a te Reme, kotahi tekau ma rua.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Na, ko tera i korero ra ki ahau, he kakaho koura tana hei whanganga mana i te pa, i ona tatau, i tona taiepa kohatu.
And he that talked with me, had a golden reed to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
16 Na, ko te takoto o te pa, e wha nga poti, tona roa rite tonu ki tona whanui: na ka whangangatia e ia te pa ki te kakaho, kotahi tekau ma rua mano nga paronga. Ko tona roa, ko te whanui, ko te ikeike, rite tonu.
And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the hight of it are equal.
17 Na ka whangangatia ano e ia tona taiepa, kotahi rau e wha tekau ma wha nga whatianga, he ruri na te tangata, ara na te anahera.
And he measured the wall of it a hundred [and] forty four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 Na ko te mea i hanga ai tona taiepa he hahapa: he koura parakore ano hoki te pa, rite tonu ki te karaihe marama.
And the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper: and the city [was] pure gold, like clear glass.
19 Ko nga turanga o te taiepa o te pa he mea whakapaipai ki nga kohatu utu nui katoa. Ko te turanga tuatahi he hahapa; ko te tuarua, he hapaira; ko te tuatoru, he karakeroni; ko te tuawha, he emerara;
And the foundations of the wall of the city [were] garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation [was] jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 Ko te tuarima, he hararonika; ko te tuaono, he harariu; ko te tuawhitu, he karihorita; ko te tuawaru, he perira; ko te tuaiwa, he topaha; ko te ngahauru, he karihoparaha; ko te tekau ma tahi, he hakiniti; ko te tekau ma rua, he ametihita.
The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprase; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21 Na, ko nga tatau kotahi tekau ma rua, kotahi tekau ma rua peara: ko tenei tatau, ko tenei tatau, kotahi tonu peara: ko te huarahi hoki o te pa he koura parakore, ko ia ano kei te karaihe piata.
And the twelve gates [were] twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl; and the street of the city [was] pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22 Na kihai ahau i kite i tetahi whare tapu i reira: ko te Ariki hoki, ko te Atua Kaha Rawa raua ko te Reme te whare tapu o reira.
And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 Kahore hoki taua pa i mea ki te ra mona, ki te marama ranei, hei whiti ki roto: e whakamaramatia ana hoki a reira e te kororia o te Atua, ko te Reme hoki tona mamara.
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God enlightened it, and the Lamb [is] the light of it.
24 E haere hoki nga tauiwi i waenganui o tona marama: a e kawea mai ano hoki e nga kingi o te ao to ratou kororia ki reira.
And the nations of them who are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.
25 E kore hoki ona tatau e tutakina i te awatea; kore ake hoki o reira po:
And the gates of it shall not be shut by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 A e kawea mai hoki te kororia me te honore o nga tauiwi ki reira:
And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
27 E kore ano e tomo ki roto tetahi mea whakanoa, te tangata ranei e mahi ana i te whakarihariha, i te teka ranei: ko te hunga anake kua oti te tuhituhi ki ta te Reme pukapuka o te ora.
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie; but they who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
