¹And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, going forth 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 its broad place, and of the river on this side and on that, [is] a tree of life, yielding twelve fruits, in each several month rendering its fruits, and the leaves of the tree [are] for the service of the nations;

²በወንዙም ወዲያና ወዲህ በየወሩ እያፈራ አሥራ ሁለት ፍሬ የሚሰጥ የሕይወት ዛፍ ነበረ፥ የዛፉም ቅጠሎች ለሕዝብ መፈወሻ ነበሩ።

³and any curse there shall not be any more, and 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 [is] upon their foreheads,

⁴ስሙም በግምባሮቻቸው ይሆናል።

⁵and night shall not be there, and they have no need of a lamp and light of a sun, because the Lord God doth give them light, and they shall reign — to the ages of the ages.

⁵ከእንግዲህም ወዲህ ሌሊት አይሆንም፥ ጌታ አምላክም በእነርሱ ላይ ያበራላቸዋልና የመብራት ብርሃንና የፀሐይ ብርሃን አያስፈልጋቸውም፤ ለዘላለምም እስከ ዘላለም ይነግሣሉ።

⁶And he said to me, `These words [are] stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly:

⁶እርሱም። እነዚህ ቃሎች የታመኑና እውነተኛዎች ናቸው፥ የነቢያትም መናፍስት ጌታ አምላክ በቶሎ ሊሆን የሚገባውን ነገር ለባሪያዎቹ እንዲያሳይ መልአኩን ሰደደ።

⁷Lo, I come quickly; happy [is] he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.`

⁷እነሆም፥ በቶሎ እመጣለሁ። የዚህን መጽሐፍ ትንቢት ቃል የሚጠብቅ ብፁዕ ነው አለኝ።

⁸And I, John, am he who is seeing these things and hearing, and when I heard and beheld, I fell down to bow before the feet of the messenger who is shewing me these things;

⁸ይህንም ያየሁትና የሰማሁት እኔ ዮሐንስ ነኝ። በሰማሁትና ባየሁትም ጊዜ ይህን ባሳየኝ በመልአኩ እግር ፊት እሰግድ ዘንድ ተደፋሁ።

⁹and he saith to me, `See — not; for fellow-servant of thee am I, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those keeping the words of this scroll; before God bow.`

⁹እርሱም። እንዳታደርገው ተጠንቀቅ፤ ከአንተ ጋር ከወንድሞችህም ከነቢያት ጋር የዚህንም መጽሐፍ ቃል ከሚጠብቁ ጋር አብሬ ባሪያ ነኝ፤ ለእግዚአብሔር ስገድ አለኝ።

¹⁰And he saith to me, `Thou mayest not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is nigh;

¹⁰ለእኔም። ዘመኑ ቀርቦአልና የዚህን መጽሐፍ ትንቢት ቃል በማኅተም አትዝጋው።

¹¹he who is unrighteous — let him be unrighteous still, and he who is filthy — let him be filthy still, and he who is righteous — let him be declared righteous still, and he who is sanctified — let him be sanctified still:

¹¹ዓመፀኛው ወደ ፊት ያምፅ፥ ርኵሱም ወደ ፊት ይርከስ፥ ጻድቁም ወደ ፊት ጽድቅ ያድርግ፥ ቅዱሱም ወደፊት ይቀደስ አለ።

¹²And lo, I come quickly, and my reward [is] with me, to render to each as his work shall be;

¹²እነሆ፥ በቶሎ እመጣለሁ፥ ለእያንዳንዱም እንደ ሥራው መጠን እከፍል ዘንድ ዋጋዬ ከእኔ ጋር አለ።

¹³I am the Alpha and the Omega — the Beginning and End — the First and the Last.

¹³አልፋና ዖሜጋ፥ ፊተኛውና ኋለኛው፥ መጀመሪያውና መጨረሻው እኔ ነኝ።

¹⁴`Happy are those doing His commands that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of the life, and by the gates they may enter into the city;

¹⁴ወደ ሕይወት ዛፍ ለመድረስ ሥልጣን እንዲኖራቸው በደጆችዋም ወደ ከተማይቱም እንዲገቡ ልብሳቸውን የሚያጥቡ ብፁዓን ናቸው።

¹⁵and without [are] the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving and is doing a lie.

¹⁵ውሻዎችና አስማተኞች ሴሰኛዎችም ነፍሰ ገዳዮችም ጣዖትንም የሚያመልኩት ውሸትንም የሚወዱና የሚያደርጉ ሁሉ በውጭ አሉ።

¹⁶`I, Jesus did send my messenger to testify to you these things concerning the assemblies; I am the root and the offspring of David, 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 he who is hearing — let him say, Come; and he who is thirsting — let him come; and he who is willing — let him take the water of life freely.

¹⁷መንፈሱና ሙሽራይቱም። ና ይላሉ። የሚሰማም። ና ይበል። የተጠማም ይምጣ፥ የወደደም የሕይወትን ውኃ እንዲያው ይውሰድ።

¹⁸`For I testify to every one hearing the words of the prophecy of this scroll, if any one may add unto these, God shall add to him the plagues that have been written in this scroll,

¹⁸በዚህ መጽሐፍ የተጻፈውን የትንቢት ቃል ለሚሰማ ሁሉ እኔ እመሰክራለሁ፤ ማንም በዚህ ላይ አንዳች ቢጨምር እግዚአብሔር በዚህ መጽሐፍ የተጻፉትን መቅሠፍቶች ይጨምርበታል፤

¹⁹and if any one may take away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the scroll of the life, and out of the holy city, and the things that have been written in this scroll;`

¹⁹ማንምም በዚህ በትንቢት መጽሐፍ ከተጻፉት ቃሎች አንዳች ቢያጎድል፥ በዚህ መጽሐፍ ከተጻፉት ከሕይወት ዛፍና ከቅድስቲቱ ከተማ እግዚአብሔር ዕድሉን ያጎድልበታል።

²⁰he saith — who is testifying these things — `Yes, I come quickly!` Amen! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus!

²⁰ይህን የሚመሰክር። አዎን፥ በቶሎ እመጣለሁ ይላል። አሜን፥ ጌታ ኢየሱስ ሆይ፥ ና።

²¹The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all. Amen.

²¹የጌታችን የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ጸጋ ከሁላችን ጋር ይሁን፤ አሜን።
