1And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
1በአደባባይዋም መካከል ከእግዚአብሔርና ከበጉ ዙፋን የሚወጣውን እንደ ብርሌ የሚያንጸባርቀውን የሕይወትን ውኃ ወንዝ አሳየኝ።
2In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
2በወንዙም ወዲያና ወዲህ በየወሩ እያፈራ አሥራ ሁለት ፍሬ የሚሰጥ የሕይወት ዛፍ ነበረ፥ የዛፉም ቅጠሎች ለሕዝብ መፈወሻ ነበሩ።
3And 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:
3ከእንግዲህም ወዲህ መርገም ከቶ አይሆንም። የእግዚአብሔርና የበጉም ዙፋን በእርስዋ ውስጥ ይሆናል፥ ባሪያዎቹም ያመልኩታል፥ ፊቱንም ያያሉ፥
4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
4ስሙም በግምባሮቻቸው ይሆናል።
5And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
5ከእንግዲህም ወዲህ ሌሊት አይሆንም፥ ጌታ አምላክም በእነርሱ ላይ ያበራላቸዋልና የመብራት ብርሃንና የፀሐይ ብርሃን አያስፈልጋቸውም፤ ለዘላለምም እስከ ዘላለም ይነግሣሉ።
6And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
6እርሱም። እነዚህ ቃሎች የታመኑና እውነተኛዎች ናቸው፥ የነቢያትም መናፍስት ጌታ አምላክ በቶሎ ሊሆን የሚገባውን ነገር ለባሪያዎቹ እንዲያሳይ መልአኩን ሰደደ።
7Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
7እነሆም፥ በቶሎ እመጣለሁ። የዚህን መጽሐፍ ትንቢት ቃል የሚጠብቅ ብፁዕ ነው አለኝ።
8And 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 shewed me these things.
8ይህንም ያየሁትና የሰማሁት እኔ ዮሐንስ ነኝ። በሰማሁትና ባየሁትም ጊዜ ይህን ባሳየኝ በመልአኩ እግር ፊት እሰግድ ዘንድ ተደፋሁ።
9Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
9እርሱም። እንዳታደርገው ተጠንቀቅ፤ ከአንተ ጋር ከወንድሞችህም ከነቢያት ጋር የዚህንም መጽሐፍ ቃል ከሚጠብቁ ጋር አብሬ ባሪያ ነኝ፤ ለእግዚአብሔር ስገድ አለኝ።
10And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
10ለእኔም። ዘመኑ ቀርቦአልና የዚህን መጽሐፍ ትንቢት ቃል በማኅተም አትዝጋው።
11He 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.
11ዓመፀኛው ወደ ፊት ያምፅ፥ ርኵሱም ወደ ፊት ይርከስ፥ ጻድቁም ወደ ፊት ጽድቅ ያድርግ፥ ቅዱሱም ወደፊት ይቀደስ አለ።
12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
12እነሆ፥ በቶሎ እመጣለሁ፥ ለእያንዳንዱም እንደ ሥራው መጠን እከፍል ዘንድ ዋጋዬ ከእኔ ጋር አለ።
13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
13አልፋና ዖሜጋ፥ ፊተኛውና ኋለኛው፥ መጀመሪያውና መጨረሻው እኔ ነኝ።
14Blessed 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.
14ወደ ሕይወት ዛፍ ለመድረስ ሥልጣን እንዲኖራቸው በደጆችዋም ወደ ከተማይቱም እንዲገቡ ልብሳቸውን የሚያጥቡ ብፁዓን ናቸው።
15For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
15ውሻዎችና አስማተኞች ሴሰኛዎችም ነፍሰ ገዳዮችም ጣዖትንም የሚያመልኩት ውሸትንም የሚወዱና የሚያደርጉ ሁሉ በውጭ አሉ።
16I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
16እኔ ኢየሱስ በአብያተ ክርስቲያናት ዘንድ ይህን እንዲመሰክርላችሁ መልአኬን ላክሁ። እኔ የዳዊት ሥርና ዘር ነኝ፥ የሚያበራም የንጋት ኮከብ ነኝ።
17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
17መንፈሱና ሙሽራይቱም። ና ይላሉ። የሚሰማም። ና ይበል። የተጠማም ይምጣ፥ የወደደም የሕይወትን ውኃ እንዲያው ይውሰድ።
18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
18በዚህ መጽሐፍ የተጻፈውን የትንቢት ቃል ለሚሰማ ሁሉ እኔ እመሰክራለሁ፤ ማንም በዚህ ላይ አንዳች ቢጨምር እግዚአብሔር በዚህ መጽሐፍ የተጻፉትን መቅሠፍቶች ይጨምርበታል፤
19And 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.
19ማንምም በዚህ በትንቢት መጽሐፍ ከተጻፉት ቃሎች አንዳች ቢያጎድል፥ በዚህ መጽሐፍ ከተጻፉት ከሕይወት ዛፍና ከቅድስቲቱ ከተማ እግዚአብሔር ዕድሉን ያጎድልበታል።
20He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
20ይህን የሚመሰክር። አዎን፥ በቶሎ እመጣለሁ ይላል። አሜን፥ ጌታ ኢየሱስ ሆይ፥ ና።
21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
21የጌታችን የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ጸጋ ከሁላችን ጋር ይሁን፤ አሜን።
