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,

¹በአደባባይዋም መካከል ከእግዚአብሔርና ከበጉ ዙፋን የሚወጣውን እንደ ብርሌ የሚያንጸባርቀውን የሕይወትን ውኃ ወንዝ አሳየኝ።

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.

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

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

³ከእንግዲህም ወዲህ መርገም ከቶ አይሆንም። የእግዚአብሔርና የበጉም ዙፋን በእርስዋ ውስጥ ይሆናል፥ ባሪያዎቹም ያመልኩታል፥ ፊቱንም ያያሉ፥

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

⁴ስሙም በግምባሮቻቸው ይሆናል።

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

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

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.”

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

⁷ “Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

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

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.

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

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.”

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

¹⁰He said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

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

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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.”

¹⁶እኔ ኢየሱስ በአብያተ ክርስቲያናት ዘንድ ይህን እንዲመሰክርላችሁ መልአኬን ላክሁ። እኔ የዳዊት ሥርና ዘር ነኝ፥ የሚያበራም የንጋት ኮከብ ነኝ።

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

²⁰He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I come quickly.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus.

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

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

²¹የጌታችን የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ጸጋ ከሁላችን ጋር ይሁን፤ አሜን።
