Adiyisɛm 22
1 Ɔbɔfo no kyerɛɛ me nkwa asubɔnten a ani tew kurunnyenn sɛ ahwehwɛ a efi Onyankopɔn ne Oguamma no ahengua so,
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb,
2 na ɛsen fa kurow no tempɔn kɛse no mfimfini. Nkwa dua si asu no fa biara a afe biara ɛsow aba ahorow dumien wɔ ɔsram biara. Wɔde so ahaban no sa aman ahorow no yare.
in the middle of her street. And on either side of the river was a tree of life producing twelve fruits, yielding each month's fruit monthly; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
3 Biribiara a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn nnome ase no nkɔ kurow no mu. Wobehu Onyankopɔn ne Oguamma no ahengua wɔ kurow no mu na nʼasomfo bɛsom no.
There will be no accursed thing there, but the throne of God and of the Lamb are in her, and His slaves will minister to Him.
4 Wobehu nʼanim na wɔbɛkyerɛw ne din agu wɔn moma so.
They will see His face and His name is on their foreheads.
5 Ade rensa wɔ hɔ bio, na akanea anaa hann ho nhia, efisɛ Awurade Nyankopɔn bɛyɛ wɔn hann na wobedi ade sɛ ahene daa daa. (aiōn g165)
Night will not exist there and they will need neither lamp nor sunlight, because the Lord God illuminates them. And they will reign forever and ever. (aiōn g165)
6 Afei ɔbɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Saa nsɛm yi yɛ nokware a wode wo ho to so a, eye. Na Awurade Nyankopɔn a ɔde Honhom ma adiyifo no somaa ne bɔfo se ɔmmɛkyerɛ nʼasomfo nea ɛbɛba nnansa yi ara no.”
Then He says to me: “These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent His angel to show to His slaves the things that must shortly take place.
7 Yesu kae se, “Muntie! Mereba nnansa yi ara, Nhyira nka wɔn a wotie adiyisɛm a ɛwɔ saa nhoma yi mu no!”
Take note, I am coming swiftly! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 Me Yohane, mate na mahu saa nneɛma yi nyinaa. Na metee ne nyinaa, huu ne nyinaa wiei no, mibutuw ɔbɔfo no a ɔkyerɛɛ me saa nneɛma yi nyinaa no nan ase pɛɛ sɛ mesom no.
Now I, John, who heard and saw these things, when I had heard and seen I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things,
9 Nanso ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Nyɛ saa! Meyɛ ɔsomfo te sɛ wo nuanom adiyifo ne wɔn a wodi nhoma yi mu nsɛm no so no ara pɛ. Som Onyankopɔn!”
but he says to me: “Don't! I am your fellow slave and of your brothers the prophets, those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”
10 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Nkata saa adiyisɛm a ɛwɔ nhoma yi mu no so, efisɛ bere no abɛn.
Then he says to me: “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.
11 Obiara a ɔyɛ bɔne no nkɔ so nyɛ bɔne, na nea ɔyɛ fi no nkɔ so nyɛ fi; nea ɔyɛ papa no nkɔ so nyɛ papa, na nea ɔyɛ kronkron no nkɔ so nyɛ kronkron.”
He who acts unjustly let him act unjustly still, and let the filthy one be filthy still, and let the righteous one still practice righteousness, and let the holy one still be sanctified.”
12 Hwɛ! Mereba ntɛm! Mikura mʼakatua sɛ mede rebɛma obiara sɛnea nʼadwumayɛ te.
“Take note, I am coming swiftly, and my reward is with me to give to each one according to his work.
13 Mene Alfa ne Omega, Ɔkannifo ne Okyikafo, Mfiase ne Awiei.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, the First and the Last.”
14 “Nhyira nka wɔn a wɔhoro wɔn ntade ma efi, na wɔn na wɔwɔ ho kwan sɛ wodi nkwa dua no aba na wɔfa kurow no pon no mu.
(Blessed are those who do His commands, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, even to enter through the gates into the city.
15 Na Kurow no akyi na akraman ne asumanfo ne nguamanfo ne awudifo ne abosonsomfo ne wɔn a wɔpɛ atoro na wodi atoro no nyinaa wɔ.
Outside are the ‘dogs’ and the sorcerers and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices a lie.)
16 “Me, Yesu, na masoma me bɔfo sɛ ɔmmɛbɔ mo saa nhoma yi nyinaa ho amanneɛ wɔ asafo mu. Meyɛ Dawid busuani. Mene anɔpa nsoromma a ɛhyerɛn no.”
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you, in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright morning Star.
17 Honhom no ne ayeforo no se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ obiara a ɔte saa asɛm yi nso ka se, ‘Bra!’ Na nea osukɔm de no no mmra, na nea ɔpɛ no nso, ommegye nkwa nsu no kwa.”
Both the Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ And let whoever hears say, ‘Come!’ And let whoever thirsts come; whoever wants to, let him take the water of life free of charge.
18 Me, Yohane, mebɔ obiara a ɔte saa adiyisɛm a ɛwɔ nhoma yi mu no kɔkɔ se: Sɛ obi de bi ka ho a, Onyankopɔn de asotwe bɛka ne haw a wakyerɛ mu wɔ saa nhoma yi mu no ho.
“I myself testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If any one adds to them, may God add to him the seven plagues written in this book!
19 Na sɛ obi nso yi bi fi adiyisɛm a ɛwɔ saa nhoma yi mu no mu a, Onyankopɔn beyi ne kyɛfa a obenya wɔ nkwa dua no ne kurow Kronkron a wɔakyerɛkyerɛ mu wɔ nhoma yi mu no.
And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God remove his share from the tree of life and out of the Holy City, that stand written in this book!”
20 Nea odi nhoma yi ho adanse no ka se, “Yiw! Mereba ntɛm!” Amen. Bra, Awurade Yesu!
He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming swiftly!” Oh yes! Come, Sovereign Jesus!
21 Yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo adom nka ahotefo nyinaa. Amen.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.
