¹And 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.

¹Zvino ndakaona denga idzva nenyika itsva, nekuti denga rekutanga nenyika yekutanga zvakange zvapfuura; uye gungwa rakange risisipo.

²And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

²Zvino ini Johwani ndakaona guta dzvene, Jerusarema idzva richiburuka kudenga richibva kuna Mwari, rakagadzirirwa semwenga wakashongedzerwa murume wake.

³And 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.

³Zvino ndakanzwa inzwi guru richibva kudenga, richiti: Tarira, tende raMwari riri pavanhu, iye uchagara navo, uye ivo vachava vanhu vake; naMwari amene uchava navo, ave Mwari wavo.

⁴And 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.

⁴Uye Mwari uchapusika misodzi yose kubva pameso avo; nerufu haruchazovipo, kana kushungurudzika, kana kurira, kana kurwadziwa hazvingavipo; nekuti zvinhu zvekutanga zvapfuura.

⁵And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

⁵Zvino wakange agere pachigaro cheushe akati: Tarira, ndinovandudza zvinhu zvose. Akati kwandiri: Nyora; nekuti mashoko awa akatendeka, uye ndeechokwadi.

⁶And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

⁶Zvino akati kwandiri: Zvaitwa. Ndini Arifa naOmega, kutanga nokuguma. Ini ndichapa kuna iye une nyota zvinobva pachitubu chemvura yeupenyu pachena.

⁷He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

⁷Unokunda uchagara nhaka yezvinhu zvose: uye ndichava Mwari wake, naiye uchava mwanakomana wangu.

⁸But 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 burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

⁸Asi kana vari vanotya, nevasingatendi nevanyangadzi, nemhondi, nemhombwe, nevaroyi, nevanonamata zvifananidzo, nevose varevi venhema, vachava nemugove wavo mudziva rinopfuta nomoto nesarufa; runova ndirwo rufu rwechipiri.

⁹And 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 hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

⁹Zvino kwakauya kwandiri umwe wevatumwa vanomwe vakange vane ndiro nomwe dzizere nematambudziko manomwe ekupedzisira akataura neni, achiti: Uya pano ndigokuratidza mwenga, mukadzi weGwayana.

¹⁰And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

¹⁰Zvino wakanditakurira muMweya kugomo uye guru refu, akandiratidza guta guru riya Jerusarema dzvene, richiburuka kudenga kuna Mwari,

¹¹Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

¹¹rine kubwinya kwaMwari; uye chiedza charo chakaita sebwe rinokoshesesa, sebwe rejasipisi*, rinoonekera sekiristaro*;

¹²And 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:

¹²zvino rakange rine rusvingo rukuru uye rurefu, rine masuwo gumi nemaviri; nevatumwa gumi nevaviri pamusuwo, nemazita akanyorwa paari, ari emarudzi gumi nemaviri evana vaIsraeri.

¹³On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

¹³Kumabvazuva masuwo matatu; kumaodzanyemba masuwo matatu, kuchamhembe masuwo matatu, nekumavirira masuwo matatu;

¹⁴And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

¹⁴zvino rusvingo rweguta rwakange rwune nheyo gumi nembiri; nepadziri mazita evaapositori gumi nevaviri veGwayana.

¹⁵And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

¹⁵Zvino uyo wakataura neni wakange ane rutsanga rwendarama kuti ayere guta, namasuwo aro, nerusingo rwaro

¹⁶And the city lieth 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.

¹⁶Zvino guta rakange rakavakwa nemativi mana akaenzana, kureba kwakaenzana nekufara; ndokuyera guta nerutsanga, rikasvika pamastadhia* zvuru gumi nezviviri; kureba nekufara, nekukwirira kwaro zvakaenzana

¹⁷And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

¹⁷Zvino akayera rusvingo rwaro, mbimbi zana nemakumi mana nemana, nechiyero chemunhu, chinova chemutumwa.

¹⁸And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

¹⁸Uye chivakwa cherusvingo rwaro chakange chiri jasipisi*, uye guta riri ndarama yakakwana, yakafanana negirazi rakachenesesa.

¹⁹And 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;

¹⁹Nenheyo dzerusvingo rweguta dzakashongedzwa nemarudzi ose emabwe anokosha. Nheyo yekutanga iri jasipisi*; yepiri safiri* yetatu kasidhoni* yechina emaradhi*;

²⁰The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

²⁰yeshanu sadhonikisi*; yetanhatu sadhio*; yechinomwe krisoriti*; yerusere bheriri*; yepfumbamwe topasi*; yegumi kirisopirasi*; yegumi neimwe hiasindi*; yegumi nembiri ametesiti*.

²¹And 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.

²¹Uye masuwo gumi nemaviri ari maparera gumi nemaviri; suwo rimwe nerimwe rakange riri reparera rimwe; uye nzira yemuguta iri ndarama yakakwana, segirazi rinoonekera.

²²And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

²²Zvino handina kuona tembere mukati maro, nekuti Ishe Mwari Wemasimbaose neGwayana itembere yaro.

²³And 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.

²³Zvino guta haritsvaki zuva kana mwedzi kuvhenekera mariri; nekuti kubwinya kwaMwari kunoivhenekera, nemwenje waro iGwayana;

²⁴And 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.

²⁴zvino marudzi evaya vanoponeswa achafamba muchiedza charo, nemadzimambo enyika achauyisa kubwinya kwawo nerukudzo rwawo mariri.

²⁵And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

²⁵Masuwo aro haangatongopfigwi masikati, nekuti usiku hahwuchazovipo.

²⁶And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

²⁶Uye vachauyisa kubwinya nerukudzo rwendudzi mukati maro.

²⁷And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

²⁷Uye hamungatongopindi chinhu chinosvibisa mukati maro, kana chinosemesa, kana chine nhema; asi avo vakanyorwa mubhuku reupenyu reGwayana.
