1 त्यसपछि स्वर्गदूतले मलाई स्फटिकजस्तो सफा जीवनको पानीको नदी देखाए । यो परमेश्वर र थुमाको सिंहासनबाट बगिरहेको थियो ।
The angel showed me the river of water [that causes people who drink from it] to live [forever]. The water was sparkling and clear like crystal. The river was flowing out from the throne where God and the [one who is like a] lamb [were sitting].
2 यो सहरको बिचभागको बाटो भएर बगेको थियो । नदीको हरेक छेउमा जीवनको रुख थियो, बाह्रै प्रकारका फल फलाउने र यसले प्रत्येक महिना आफ्नो फल फलाउँछ । रुखका पातहरू जाति-जातिहरूका निम्ति निको पार्नलाई हुन् ।
It flowed down through the middle of the [main] street of the city. On each side of the river were trees [bearing fruit that causes people who eat it] to live forever. [The trees] bear twelve [crops] (OR, twelve [kinds]) of fruit; [they] produce one crop each month. The [people of the] nations [MTY] [use] the leaves of these trees [as medicine] in order that they may feel stronger
3 त्यहाँ कुनै श्राप हुनेछैन । परमेश्वर र थुमाको सिंहासन सहरमा हुनुहुनेछ, र उहाँका सेवकहरूले उहाँको सेवा गर्नेछ्न् ।
There will never be [anyone or anything there that God] will be [under God’s] curse. The throne of God and the [one who is like a] lamb will be in the city. And God’s servants will worship him there.
4 तिनीहरूले उहाँको अनुहार देख्नेछन्, र उहाँको नाउँ तिनीहरूका निधारमा हुनेछ ।
They will see him face-to-face, and his name will be [written] {[he] will [write] his name} on their foreheads.
5 त्यहाँ कुनै रात हुनेछैन, तिनीहरूलाई ज्योतिका निम्ति बत्तीको आवश्यकता पर्दैन, न त सूर्यको प्रकाश नै आवश्यकता पर्नेछ किनकि परमप्रभु परमेश्वर नै तिनीहरूका ज्योति हुनुहुनेछ । तिनीहरूले सदासर्वदा राज्य गर्नेछन् । (aiōn )
There will never again be night. [God’s servants] will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine his light upon them. And they will rule forever. (aiōn )
6 स्वर्गदूतले मलाई भने, “यी वचनहरू विश्वासयोग्य र सत्य छन् । अगमवक्ताहरूका आत्माका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर छिट्टै के हुनुपर्छ भनी उहाँका सेवकहरूलाई देखाउन उहाँले आफ्नो स्वर्गदूतलाई पठाउनुभयो ।”
The angel said to me: “These words that [God has revealed to you] are true, and he will certainly do what he has promised to do. The Lord God who ([inspires] the prophets/tells the prophets what to say) sent his angel to show the people who serve him the events that must happen soon.”
7 “हेर, म चाँडै आउँदै छु । यस पुस्तकको अगमवाणीको वचन जसले पालन गर्छ, त्यो धन्यको हो ।”
[Jesus says to all his people], “Listen [to] this! I am coming soon; [God will abundantly] bless everyone who obeys what [has been commanded] in this book.”
8 म यूहन्ना हुँ, जसले यी कुराहरू सुनेँ र देखेँ । जब मैले सुनेँ र तिनलाई देखेँ, तब स्वर्गदूत जसले मलाई यी कुराहरू देखाए, म तिनको अगि दण्डवत् गर्न स्वर्गदूतको पाउमा घोप्टो परेँ ।
I, John, am the one who heard and saw [in a vision] these things [that I have written down]. When I had heard and seen [them], I immediately knelt down at the feet of the angel who was showing them to me, in order to worship him.
9 तिनले मलाई भने, “त्यसो नगर । तिम्रा दाजुभाइ अगमवक्ताहरू र यस पुस्तकको वचन पालना गर्नेहरूका म सङ्गी दास मात्र हुँ । परमेश्वरको आराधना गर ।”
But he said to me, “Do not [worship me] I am [just] your fellow servant! I am also the fellow servant of your fellow believers who are (the prophets/the ones who tell messages that come directly from God), and I am a fellow servant of those who obey what has been commanded in this book. [Instead], worship God!”
10 तिनले मलाई भने, “यस पुस्तकको अगमवाणीका वचनहरूमा मोहर नलगाओ, किनभने समय नजिकै छ ।
He also said to me, “Do not keep secret the message about what [God] has foretold in this book, because it is almost time [MTY] for him to [what he has promised to do in this message].
11 जो अधर्मी छ, त्यसले निरन्तर अधर्म गरिरहोस् । जो अनैतिक छ, त्यसले अनैतिक घृणित काम गरिरहोस् । जो धार्मिक छ, त्यसले धार्मिक काम गरिरहोस् । जो पवित्र छ, त्यो निरन्तर पवित्र रहिरहोस् ।”
[Since that time is near, if] those who act in an evil manner [want to] continue to act that way [IRO], [that is up to them. God will soon] ([pay them back/punish them]) [for that. If] those who are vile [want to] continue to be vile [IRO], [that is up to them. God will soon] ([pay them back/punish them]) [for that]. Those who are [acting] righteously should continue to act righteously. And those who are holy should continue to be holy.”
12 “हेर, म चाँडै आउँदै छु । हरेकले गरेको काम अनुसारको इनाम मसँग छ ।
[Jesus says this to everyone]: “Listen! I am coming soon! And I will pay back everyone according to what each one has done, by [punishing or] rewarding them.
13 अल्फा र ओमेगा, पहिलो र पछिल्लो, सुरु र अन्त म नै हुँ ।
I [am] the one who began all things [MET] and the one who will cause all things to end [MET]. I existed before [all things existed] and I will exist at the end [of all things] [DOU].
14 आफ्ना वस्त्र धुनेहरू धन्यका हुन् ताकि तिनीहरूले जीवनको रुखबाट खान र ढोकाहरूबाट सहरमा पस्ने अधिकार पाउन सकून् ।
[God] is very pleased with the people who wash their robes, [making themselves spiritually clean] [MET], because they will be able to [eat the fruit of] [MTY] the tree [that enables people] to live [forever], and because they will [be able] to enter the gates into the [holy] city.
15 कुकुरहरू, मन्त्रतन्त्र गर्नेहरू, अश्लील काम गर्नेहरू, हत्याराहरू, मूर्तिपूजकहरू, र झुटा कुरा अभ्यास गर्ने र प्रेम गर्न मन पराउने हरेक बाहिर हुन्छन् ।
[People who are unholy] will not be allowed to enter the city. They include people who practice sorcery, people who sin sexually, murderers, idol worshipers, and everyone who enjoys telling lies and are continual liars. [They can never enter that city].”
16 म येशूले मेरा स्वर्गदूतलाई मण्डलीहरूका यी कुराहरूबारे गवाहीको निम्ति पठाएको छु । म दाऊदको वंश र मुल, बिहानको चम्किलो तारा हुँ ।”
“I, Jesus, sent my angel in order that he might tell you who are in the congregations [that all] these things [that have been said are true]. I am the descendant of [King] David [whom the prophets promised would come] [MET]. I am the [one who is like] the bright morning star [MET], the one [that Moses promised would come].”
17 पवित्र आत्मा र दुलही भन्नुहुन्छ, “आओ ।” जसले सुन्छ त्यसले यसो भनोस्, “आओ ।” जो तिर्खाएको छ, त्यसलाई आउन देऊ, र जसले यसको इच्छा गर्छ, त्यसले जीवनको पानी सित्तैँमा पिओस् ।
[God’s] Spirit and [his people, who are like] [MET] the bride [of Christ], say [to each one who desires to believe], “Come!” Whoever hears [this] should also say [to each one who desires to believe], “Come!” [Spiritually thirsty people should come] [MET]! Everyone who desires the water [that enables people to] live [forever] should take it as a free gift!
18 यस पुस्तकको अगमवाणीका वचनहरू सुन्ने हरेकलाई म चेताउनी दिन्छु । यदि कसैले तिनमा थप्छ भने, यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएका विपत्तिहरू परमेश्वरले त्यसमाथि थपिदिनुहुनेछ ।
“I, [Jesus, solemnly] warn everyone who hears what [I] have foretold in this book: If anyone adds anything to this message, God will cause him to experience the plagues that are {that [I] have} described in this book.
19 यदि कसैले यस अगमवाणीको पुस्तकका वचनहरूबाट केही निकाल्यो भने, परमेश्वरले यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएका जीवनको रुख र पवित्र सहरको भागदेखि त्यसलाई निकालिदिनुहुनेछ ।
If anyone omits any of the message about what [I] have foretold in this book, God will take away that person’s right [to eat fruit from] [MTY] the tree [that enables people] to live [forever]. He [will also take away] that person’s right [to enter] God’s city. [Both these things] are described {[I] have described [both these things]} in this book.”
20 यी कुराका गवाही दिने जसले भन्नुहुन्छ, “हो, म चाँडै आउँदै छु ।” आमेन! आउनुहोस्, हे प्रभु येशू ।
[Jesus], who says that [all] the things written here are true, says, “Certainly I am coming soon!” [I, John, reply], “(May it be so!/Amen!) Lord Jesus, come!”
21 प्रभु येशूको अनुग्रह हरेकसँग रहोस् । आमेन ।
[I pray that our] Lord Jesus [will continue to] act kindly to all [of you who are God’s people]. (Amen!/May it be so!)
