< Adiyisɛm 21 >
1 Afei, mehunuu ɔsoro foforɔ ne asase foforɔ, na kane ɔsoro ne kane asase no atwam, na ɛpo nso nni hɔ bio.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 Na mehunuu Kuro Kronkron a ɛyɛ Yerusalem foforɔ sɛ ɛfiri Onyankopɔn hɔ wɔ ɔsoro reba fam, a wasiesie ne ho te sɛ ayeforɔ a ɔrekɔhyia ne kunu.
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 Metee nne denden bi firi ahennwa no so sɛ, “Afei, Onyankopɔn atenaeɛ wɔ nnipa mu. Ɔne wɔn bɛtena na wɔayɛ ne nkurɔfoɔ. Onyankopɔn no ankasa ne wɔn bɛtena na wayɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn.
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 shall be with them, and be their God.
4 Na ɔbɛpepa wɔn aniwa mu nisuo nyinaa. Na owuo nni hɔ bio, na awerɛhoɔ ne osu ne yea nni hɔ bio. Na kane nneɛma no atwam.”
And God shall 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 are passed away.
5 Afei, deɛ ɔte ahennwa no so no kaa sɛ, “Afei, mereyɛ nneɛma nyinaa foforɔ!” Ɔka kyerɛɛ me nso sɛ, “Twerɛ yei, ɛfiri sɛ, saa nsɛm yi yɛ nokorɛ a wɔde wɔn ho to so.”
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words (logos) are true and faithful.
6 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Wɔawie! Me ne Alfa ne Omega, Ahyɛaseɛ ne Awieeɛ no. Obiara a sukɔm de no no, mɛma no nsuo a ɛfiri nkwa asutire mu anom kwa.
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 Obiara a ɔbɛdi nkonim no bɛnya yei afiri me nkyɛn. Mɛyɛ ne Onyankopɔn na ɔno nso ayɛ me ba.
He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 Nanso, ahufoɔ ne wɔn a wɔnnye nni ne akyiwadeyɛfoɔ ne awudifoɔ ne adwamanfoɔ ne adutofoɔ ne abosonsomfoɔ ne atorofoɔ nyinaa bɛnya wɔn kyɛfa wɔ ɔtadeɛ a ogya ne sɔfe dɛre wɔ mu no. Ɛno ne owuprenu no.” (Limnē Pyr )
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Limnē Pyr )
9 Abɔfoɔ baason a wɔkurakura nkuruwa nson a ɔhaw nson a ɛtwa toɔ no ahyɛ ma wɔ mu baako baa me nkyɛn bɛkaa sɛ, “Bra, na mɛkyerɛ wo Ayeforɔ a ɔyɛ Odwammaa no yere no.”
And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come here, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 Honhom no faa me, na ɔbɔfoɔ no de me kɔɔ bepɔ tenten bi atifi. Ɔkyerɛɛ me Yerusalem, Kuro Kronkron a ɛfiri ɔsoro, Onyankopɔn hɔ, resiane aba fam.
And he carried me away in the spirit (pneuma) to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Ɛhyerɛn Onyankopɔn animuonyam mu, na ne hyerɛn no te sɛ aboɔdenboɔ a ɛsɛ ahwehwɛboɔ a ani te sɛ ahwehwɛ.
Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 Na ne ɔfasuo no wɔ ahoɔden na ɛware yie nso. Apono dumienu gu ano a, abɔfoɔ dumienu na wɔhwɛ so. Na ɛpono biara so no wɔatwerɛ Israel mmusuakuo dumienu no mu baako din.
And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 Apono mmiɛnsa wɔ apueeɛ; mmiɛnsa wɔ anafoɔ; mmiɛnsa wɔ atifi ɛnna mmiɛnsa wɔ atɔeɛ.
On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 Wɔsii kuro no afasuo sii aboɔ dumienu a wɔatwerɛ Odwammaa no asomafoɔ dumienu no din wɔ so no so.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔkasa kyerɛɛ me no kura sikakɔkɔɔ poma susudua a wɔde bɛsusu kuro no, nʼapono ne nʼafasuo.
And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 Na kuro no yɛ ahinanan a ne tenten ne ne trɛ yɛ pɛ. Ɔbɔfoɔ no de ne susudua no susuu kuro no. Na ne tenten yɛ kilomita mpem mmienu ne ahanan, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ, ne ɔsorokɔ ne ne tenten nyinaa yɛ pɛ.
And the city lies 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 height of it are equal.
17 Ɔbɔfoɔ no susuu ɔfasuo no nso a na ne ɔsorokɔ nso bɛyɛ sɛ mita aduosia.
And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 Ahwehwɛboɔ na ɔde too afasuo no. Na kuro no deɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ amapa a ɛhyerɛn te sɛ ahwehwɛ na wɔde toeɛ.
And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 Wɔde aboɔdenboɔ ahodoɔ a ɛyɛ fɛ na ɛhyehyɛɛ kuro no fapem. Fapem a ɛdi ɛkan yɛ ahwehwɛboɔ. Fapem a ɛtɔ so mmienu yɛ aboɔdemmoɔ. Fapem a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa yɛ omununkumboɔ. Fapem a ɛtɔ so ɛnan yɛ ahahammonoboɔ.
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 Fapem a ɛtɔ so enum yɛ ɛtɔnboɔ. Fapem a ɛtɔ so nsia yɛ bogyanamboɔ. Fapem a ɛtɔ so nson yɛ sikabereɛboɔ. Fapem a ɛtɔ so nwɔtwe yɛ apopobibirieboɔ. Fapem a ɛtɔ so nkron yɛ akraateboɔ. Fapem a ɛtɔ so edu yɛ dɛnkyɛmmoɔ. Fapem a ɛtɔ so dubaako yɛ wisiboɔ. Fapem a ɛtɔ so dumienu yɛ beredumboɔ.
The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, ruby; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21 Na wɔde nhwene pa dumienu na ɛyɛɛ apono dumienu no. Apono no mu biara, wɔde ahene pa baako na ɛyɛeɛ. Na kuro no abɔntene kɛseɛ yɛ sika amapa kronn a ɛte sɛ ahwehwɛ.
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 manhunu asɔredan wɔ kuro no mu baabiara ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade Onyankopɔn Otumfoɔ ne Odwammaa no ne asɔredan.
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 Na owia anaa ɔsrane hann nhia kuro no ɛfiri sɛ, na Onyankopɔn ne Odwammaa no animuonyam hyerɛn wɔ hɔ.
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 Ne hann no bɛhyerɛn asase so aman nyinaa so, na asase so aman so ahene de wɔn ahodeɛ bɛba hɔ.
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 Wɔntoto kuro no apono mu. Ɛda biara ano da hɔ. Ɛfiri sɛ, esum nnuru wɔ hɔ.
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 Wɔde aman no kɛseyɛ ne wɔn ahonya bɛba kuro no mu.
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 Nanso, biribiara a ɛho nte nkɔ kuro no mu. Saa ara na obi a ɔyɛ aniwudeɛ anaa ɔtwa atorɔ nkɔ mu. Wɔn a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din ahyɛ Odwammaa no nkwa nwoma no mu no nko ara na wɔbɛkɔ kuro no mu.
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defiles, neither whatsoever works abomination, or makes a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
