¹Zvino wakandiratidza rwizi rwakakwana rwemvura yeupenyu, yakapenya sekristaro*, ichibuda pachigaro cheushe chaMwari necheGwayana,

¹And he showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,

²pakati penzira yaro uye kumativi ose erwizi kune muti weupenyu, unobereka zvibereko zvamarudzi gumi nemaviri, uchiita zvibereko zvawo mwedzi umwe neumwe; nemashizha emuti aiva ekuporesa ndudzi.

²in the midst of the street thereof. And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve [manner of] fruits, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

³Zvino hakuchavizve nekutuka; asi chigaro cheushe chaMwari necheGwayana zvichava mukati maro; uye varanda vake vachamushumira,

³And there shall be no curse any more: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein: and his servants shall serve him;

⁴zvino vachaona chiso chake nezita rake richava pahuma dzavo.

⁴and they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] on their foreheads.

⁵Zvino usiku hahwuchazovipo; uye havatsvaki mwenje kana chiedza chezuva; nekuti Ishe Mwari unovapa chiedza; vachatonga kusvikira rinhi narinhi.

⁵And there shall be night no more; and they need no light of lamp, neither light of sun; for the Lord God shall give them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

⁶Zvino akati kwandiri: Mashoko awa akatendeka, ndeechokwadi; uye Ishe, Mwari wevaporofita vatsvene, wakatuma mutumwa wake kuti aratidze kuvaranda vake zvinhu zvoda kuitika.

⁶And he said unto me, These words are faithful and true: and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angels to show unto his servants the things which must shortly come to pass.

⁷Tarira, ndinokurumidza kuuya; wakaropafadzwa unochengeta mashoko echiporofita chebhuku iri.

⁷And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.

⁸Zvino ini Johwani, ndini ndakaona zvinhu izvi ndikanzwa. Zvino ndakati ndanzwa nekuona, ndikawira pasi kuti ndishumire pamberi petsoka dzemutumwa wakandiratidza zvinhu izvi.

⁸And I John am he that heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel that showed me these things.

⁹Zvino akati kwandiri: Rega kudaro; nekuti ndiri muranda pamwe newe, nehama dzako, vaporofita, nevanochengeta mashoko ebhuku iri; namata Mwari.

⁹And he saith unto me, See thou do it not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren the prophets, and with them that keep the words of this book: worship God.

¹⁰Zvino akati kwandiri: Usavharira mashoko echiporofita chebhuku iri, nekuti nguva yava pedo.

¹⁰And he saith unto me, Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand.

¹¹Unoita zvisakarurama ngaagare achiita zvisakarurama; neune tsvina, ngaagare ane tsvina; newakarurama ngaagare achiita zvakarurama; mutsvene ngaagare ari mutsvene.

¹¹He that is unrighteous, let him do unrighteousness still: and he that is filthy, let him be made filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him do righteousness still: and he that is holy, let him be made holy still.

¹²Zvino tarira, ndinokurumidza kuuya; uye mubairo wangu uneni, kuti ndipe umwe neumwe zvinoenderana nemabasa ake.

¹²Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to each man according as his work is.

¹³Ndini Arifa naOmega, kuvamba nekuguma, kutanga nekupedzisira.

¹³I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

¹⁴Vakaropafadzwa vanoita mirairo yake, kuti vave nekodzero yemuti weupenyu, vagopinda nepamasuwo muguta.

¹⁴Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have the right [to come] to the tree of life, and my enter in by the gates into the city.

¹⁵Nekuti kunze kune imbwa, nevaroyi, nemhombwe, nemhondi, nevanamati vezvifananidzo nevose vanoda nhema vachidziita.

¹⁵Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.

¹⁶Ini Jesu ndakatuma mutumwa wangu kuti akupupurirei zvinhu izvozvi pakereke. Ndini mudzi nechizvarwa chaDhavhidhi, hweva inopenya.

¹⁶I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.

¹⁷Zvino Mweya nemwenga vanoti: Uya! Naiye unonzwa ngaati: Uya! Uye une nyota ngaauye; neunoda ngaatore mvura yeupenyu pachena.

¹⁷And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And he that heareth, let him say, Come. And he that is athirst, let him come: he that will, let him take the water of life freely.

¹⁸Nekuti ndinopupura kune umwe neumwe unonzwa mashoko echiporofita chebhuku iri, ndichiti: Kana munhu akawedzera pazvinhu izvi, Mwari uchawedzera kwaari matambudziko akanyorwa mubhuku iri;

¹⁸I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book:

¹⁹uye kana munhu akabvisa pamashoko ebhuku rechiporofita ichi, Mwari uchabvisa mugove wake pabhuku reupenyu, nemuguta dzvene, nezvinhu zvakanyorwa mubhuku iri.

¹⁹and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.

²⁰Unopupura zvinhu izvi unoti: Hongu, ndinouya nekukurumidza. Ameni. Hongu uyai, Ishe Jesu.

²⁰He who testifieth these things saith, Yea: I come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus.

²¹Nyasha dzaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu ngadzive nemwi mose. Ameni.

²¹The grace of the Lord Jesus be with the saints. Amen.
