Ufunuo 22
1 Kisha malaika akanionyesha mto wa maji ya uzima maangavu kama kioo yakitoka kwenye kiti cha enzi cha Mungu na Mwanakondoo.
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 Mto huo ulitiririka kupitia katikati ya barabara kuu ya mji. Kandokando ya mto huo kulikuwa na mti wa uzima unaozaa matunda mara kumi na mbili kwa mwaka, yaani kila mwezi; na majani yake ni dawa ya kuwaponya watu wa mataifa.
In the middle of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bore twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 Hapana kitu chochote kilicholaaniwa kitakachokuwa katika mji huo. Kiti cha enzi cha Mungu na cha Mwanakondoo kitakuwa katika mji huo, na watumishi wake watamwabudu.
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 Watauona uso wake, na jina lake litaandikwa juu ya paji za nyuso zao.
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5 Usiku hautakuwako tena, wala hawatahitaji mwanga wa taa au wa jua, maana Bwana Mungu atawaangazia, nao watatawala milele na milele. (aiōn g165)
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God gives them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
6 Kisha malaika akaniambia, “Maneno haya ni ya kweli na ya kuaminika. Bwana Mungu ambaye huwapa manabii Roho wake, alimtuma malaika wake awaonyeshe watumishi wake mambo ambayo lazima yatukie punde.
And he said to me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show to his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7 “Sikiliza! Naja upesi. Heri yake anayeyazingatia maneno ya unabii yaliyo katika kitabu hiki.”
Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8 Mimi Yohane, niliyaona na kusikia mambo haya. Nilipokwisha sikia na kuona nikajitupa chini mbele ya miguu ya huyo malaika aliyenionyesha mambo hayo, nikataka kumwabudu.
And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed me these things.
9 Lakini yeye akaniambia, “Acha! Mimi ni mtumishi tu kama wewe na ndugu zako manabii na wote wanaoyatii maagizo yaliyomo katika kitabu hiki. Mwabudu Mungu!”
Then says he to me, See you do it not: for I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
10 Tena akaniambia, “Usiyafiche kama siri maneno ya unabii yaliyomo katika kitabu hiki, maana wakati wa kutimizwa kwake umekaribia.
And he says to me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 Kwa sasa anayetenda mabaya na aendelee kutenda mabaya, na aliye mchafu aendelee kuwa mchafu. Mwenye kutenda mema na azidi kutenda mema, na aliye mtakatifu na azidi kuwa mtakatifu.”
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 “Sikiliza!” Asema Yesu, “Naja upesi, pamoja na tuzo nitakalompa kila mmoja kufuatana na matendo yake.
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 Mimi ni Alfa na Omega, Mwanzo na Mwisho, wa kwanza na wa mwisho.”
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Heri yao wale wanaoosha mavazi yao, kwani watakuwa na haki ya kula tunda la mti wa uzima, na haki ya kuingia mjini kwa kupitia milango yake.
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 Lakini mbwa, wachawi, wazinzi, wauaji, waabudu sanamu na wote wanaopenda kusema uongo, watakaa nje ya mji.
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loves and makes a lie.
16 “Mimi, Yesu, nimemtuma malaika wangu awathibitishieni mambo haya katika makanisa. Mimi ni mzawa wa ukoo wa Daudi. Mimi ni nyota angavu ya asubuhi!”
I Jesus have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17 Roho na Bibiarusi waseme, “Njoo!” Kila mtu asikiaye hili, na aseme, “Njoo!” Kisha, yeyote aliye na kiu na aje; anayetaka maji ya uzima na apokee bila malipo yoyote.
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is thirsty come. And whoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 Mimi Yohane nawapa onyo wote wanaosikia maneno ya unabii yaliyomo katika kitabu hiki: mtu yeyote akiongeza chochote katika mambo haya, Mungu atamwongezea mabaa yaliyoandikwa katika kitabu hiki.
For I testify to every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 Na mtu yeyote akipunguza chochote katika maneno ya unabii yaliyomo katika kitabu hiki, Mungu atamnyang'anya sehemu yake katika ule mti wa uzima, na sehemu yake katika mji mtakatifu, ambavyo vimeelezwa katika kitabu hiki.
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 Naye anayetoa ushahidi wake juu ya mambo haya asema: “Naam! Naja upesi.” Amina. Na iwe hivyo! Njoo Bwana Yesu!
He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 Nawatakieni nyote neema ya Bwana Yesu. Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
