Ufunuo 22
1 Kisha malaika akanionyesha mto wa maji ya uzima maangavu kama kioo yakitoka kwenye kiti cha enzi cha Mungu na Mwanakondoo.
He showed me a 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 its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. 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.
There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him.
4 Watauona uso wake, na jina lake litaandikwa juu ya paji za nyuso zao.
They will see his face, and his name will be on 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)
There will no longer be any night, and they have no need for the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever 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.
He said to me, "These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his servants the things which must happen soon."
7 “Sikiliza! Naja upesi. Heri yake anayeyazingatia maneno ya unabii yaliyo katika kitabu hiki.”
"Look, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words 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.
Now I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who had shown 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!”
He said to me, "See you do not do it. I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God."
10 Tena akaniambia, “Usiyafiche kama siri maneno ya unabii yaliyomo katika kitabu hiki, maana wakati wa kutimizwa kwake umekaribia.
He said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.
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 who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still."
12 “Sikiliza!” Asema Yesu, “Naja upesi, pamoja na tuzo nitakalompa kila mmoja kufuatana na matendo yake.
"Look, I am coming quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each person according to his work.
13 Mimi ni Alfa na Omega, Mwanzo na Mwisho, wa kwanza na wa mwisho.”
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
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 who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.
15 Lakini mbwa, wachawi, wazinzi, wauaji, waabudu sanamu na wote wanaopenda kusema uongo, watakaa nje ya mji.
Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
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 these things to you for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David; the bright 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.
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." He who hears, let him say, "Come." He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, 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.
I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which 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.
If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, 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 who testifies these things says, "Yes, I come quickly." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
21 Nawatakieni nyote neema ya Bwana Yesu. Amen.
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
