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:

¹¶ Na ka whakakitea mai e ia ki ahau he awa wai ora, piata tonu me te karaihe, e puta mai ana i te torona o te Atua raua ko te Reme,

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;

²I waenganui o tona huarahi. Na i tenei taha o te awa, a i tera taha, ko te rakau o te ora, kotahi tekau ma rua ona momo hua, e hua ana ona hua i tetahi marama, i tetahi marama: a ko nga rau o te rakau hei whakaora mo nga tauiwi.

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,

³A kore ake he kanga i muri nei: ko reira ano hoki te torona o te Atua raua ko te Reme; a ka mahi ana pononga ki a ia:

⁴and they shall see His face, and His name [is] upon their foreheads,

⁴E kite hoki ratou i tona kanohi; ka mau hoki tona ingoa ki o ratou rae.

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.

⁵A kore ake o reira po; kore ake o ratou meatanga ki te marama o te rama, ki te marama hoki o te ra; e marama hoki ratou i te Ariki, i te Atua: a e kingi ratou ake ake.

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:

⁶¶ I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, He pono, he tika enei kupu: kua tonoa hoki e te Ariki, e te Atua o nga poropiti tapu, tana anahera, hei whakakite mai ki ana pononga i nga mea ka hohoro nei te meinga.

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

⁷Na ka hohoro toku haere atu: ka hari te tangata e whakarite ana i nga kupu o te poropititanga o tenei pukapuka.

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;

⁸A ko ahau, ko Hoani, tenei i rongo nei, i kite nei i enei mea. A, no toku rongonga, no toku kitenga, ka hinga ahau ki raro, ka mea kia koropiko ki mua i nga waewae o te anahera i whakakitea mai ai enei mea ki ahau.

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.`

⁹Na ko tana meatanga mai ki ahau, Kauaka: he hoa pononga hoki ahau nou, no ou tuakana hoki, no nga poropiti, no te hunga ano e pupuri ana i nga kupu o tenei pukapuka: me koropiko ki te Atua.

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

¹⁰Na ka mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Kaua e hiritia nga kupu o te poropititanga o tenei pukapuka: e tata ana hoki te taima.

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:

¹¹Ko te tangata e he ana te whakahaere, kia he ano te whakahaere: ko te tangata e poke ana, kia poke ano ia: ko te tangata e tika ana, kia tika ano ia: ko te tangata e tapu ana, kia tapu ano ia.

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

¹²Na, ka hohoro toku haere atu; kei ahau ano taku utu, a ka rite ki ana mahi ake nga mea e hoatu ki tetahi, ki tetahi.

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

¹³Ko ahau te Arepa, te Omeka, te tuatahi, te whakaotinga, te timatanga, te whakamutunga.

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;

¹⁴Ka hari te hunga e horoi ana i o ratou kakahu, kia taunga ai ratou te haere mai ki te rakau o te ora, ka tomo ano ki te pa ra nga tatau.

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.

¹⁵Kei waho nga kuri, me te hunga makutu, me te hunga moepuku, me nga kaikohuru, me te hunga karakia ki te whakapakoko, me te hunga katoa e pai ana, e mahi ana i te teka.

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!

¹⁶Kua tonoa e ahau, e Ihu, taku anahera, hei whakaatu i enei mea ki a koutou i roto i nga hahi. Ko ahau te pakiaka, te uri o Rawiri, te whetu marama o te ata.

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.

¹⁷E mea ana hoki te Wairua me te wahine marena hou, Haere mai. Me ki ake ano e te tangata e rongo ana, Haere mai. Kia haere mai hoki te tangata e hiainu ana: kia tangohia noatia ano te wai ora e te tangata e hiahia ana.

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,

¹⁸He whakaatu hoki naku tenei ki te hunga katoa e rongo ana ki nga kupu o te poropititanga o tenei pukapuka, Ki te tapiritia mai e tetahi ki enei mea, ka tapiritia atu ano e te Atua mona nga whiu kua oti te tuhituhi ki tenei pukapuka:

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;`

¹⁹A ki te tangohia atu e tetahi he kupu i te pukapuka o tenei poropititanga, ka tangohia e te Atua tona wahi i roto i te pukapuka o te ora, i te pa tapu hoki, i nga mea hoki kua oti te tuhituhi ki tenei pukapuka.

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

²⁰¶ Tenei te ki nei te Kaiwhakaatu o enei mea, Na, ka hohoro ano toku haere atu. Amine. Ae ra, haere mai, e te Ariki, e Ihu.

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

²¹Kia tau ki te hunga tapu katoa te atawhai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti. Amine.
