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

¹I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.

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

²I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

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.

³I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

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

⁴He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”

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

⁵He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.”

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

⁶He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.

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

⁷ He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.

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.

⁸ But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, The word for “sorcerers” here also includes users of potions and drugs. idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

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

⁹One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the wife, the Lamb’s bride.”

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

¹⁰He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

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

¹¹having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

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

¹²having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.

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

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

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

¹⁴The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.

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

¹⁵He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.

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

¹⁶The city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, Twelve thousand twelve stadia 12,012 stadia = or 2,221 kilometers or 1,380 miles. TR reads 12,000 stadia instead of 12,012 stadia. . Its length, breadth, and height are equal.

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

¹⁷Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, 144 cubits is about 65.8 meters or 216 feet by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

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

¹⁸The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.

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

¹⁹The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire or, lapis lazuli ; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

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

²⁰the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.

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

²¹The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

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

²²I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple.

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

²³The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

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

²⁴The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.

²⁵Masuwo aro haangatongopfigwi masikati, nekuti usiku hahwuchazovipo.

²⁵Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),

²⁶Uye vachauyisa kubwinya nerukudzo rwendudzi mukati maro.

²⁶and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.

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

²⁷There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
