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

¹He showed me a TR adds “pure” river of water of life, clear 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 middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. 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,

³There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him.

⁴zvino vachaona chiso chake nezita rake richava pahuma dzavo.

⁴They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

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

⁵There will be no night, and they need no lamp light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.

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

⁶He said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his bondservants the things which must happen soon.”

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

⁷ “Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps 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.

⁸Now I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who had shown me these things.

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

⁹He said to me, “See you don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

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

¹⁰He said to me, “Don’t seal 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 who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”

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

¹² “Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.

¹³Ndini Arifa naOmega, kuvamba nekuguma, kutanga nekupedzisira.

¹³ I 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.

¹⁴ Blessed are those who do his commandments, NU reads “wash their robes” instead of “do his commandments”. that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

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

¹⁵ Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

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

¹⁶ I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David; the Bright and Morning Star.”

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

¹⁷The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, 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 to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to 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.

¹⁹If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God 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 testifies these things says, “Yes, I come quickly.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus.

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

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