Zvakazarurwa 22

¹Zvino wakandiratidza rwizi rwakachena rwemvura yovupenyu, yakapenya sekristaro, inobuda pachigaro chovushe chaMwari necheGwaiana,And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

²pakati penzira yaro. Kumativi maviri orwizi kwakanga kunomuti wovupenyu, unobereka zvibereko zvamarudzi anegumi namaviri, uchiita zvibereko zvawo mwedzi mumwe nomumwe; namashizha omuti aiva mushonga wokuporesa ndudzi.In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

³Hakuchavi nechinhu chakatukwa; chigaro chovushe chaMwari necheGwaiana chichava mukati maro; varanda vake vachamushumira, vachavona chiso chake;And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

⁴vuye zita rake richava pahuma dzavo.And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

⁵Vusiku habwuchazovipo; havatsvaki chiedza chomwenje kana chiedza chezuva; nokuti Ishe Mwari uchavavhenekera; vachabata vushe nokusingaperi-peri.And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

⁶Zvino akati kwandiri: Mashoko awa angatendwa, ndaazvokwadi; Ishe, Mwari wemweya yavaporofita, wakatuma mutumwa wake kuti aratidze varanda vake zvinhu zvoda kuitwa.And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

⁷Tarirai, ndokurumidza kuvuya; unochengeta mashoko okuporofita kwebhuku iyi wakaropafadzwa.Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

⁸Ini Johane, ndini ndakanzwa, ndikavona izvozvi. Zvino ndakati ndichinzwa, nokuvona, ndikawira pasi kuti ndinamate pamberi petsoka dzomutumwa wakandiratidza izvozvi.And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

⁹Akati kwandiri: Rega kudaro; ndiri muranda pamwe chete newe, nehama dzako, vaporofita, navanochengeta mashoko ebhuku iyi; namata Mwari.Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

¹⁰Ipapo akati kwandiri: Usazarira mashoko okuporofita kwebhuku iyi, nokuti nguva yava pedo.And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

¹¹Usina kururama ngaarambe achiita zvisakarurama; unetsvina, ngaarambe a chisvibiswa; wakarurama ngaarambe achiita zvakarurama; mutsvene ngaarambe achiitwa mutsvene.He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

¹²Tarirai, ndinokurumidza kuvuya; mubairo wangu ndinawo, kuti ndipe mumwe nomumwe sezvaakabata.And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

¹³Ndini Arfa naOmega, wokutanga nowokupedzisira, kutanga nokuguma.I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

¹⁴Vakaropafadzwa vanoita mirairo yake, kuti vave nesimba rokuvuya kumuti wovupenyu, vapinde napamasuvo eguta.Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

¹⁵Kunze ndiko kunembwa, navaroyi, nemhombwe, navavurayi, navanonamata zvifananidzo navose vanoda nhema vachidziita.For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

¹⁶Ini Jesu ndakatuma mutumwa wangu kuti akupupurirei izvozvi pakereke. Ndini mudzi worudzi rwaDhavhidhi, nyamasase inopenya.I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

¹⁷Mweya nomwenga vanoti: Vuya! Naiye unonzwa ngaati: Vuya! Unenyota ngaavuye. Unoda ngaatore mvura yovupenyu asingatengi.And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

¹⁸Ndinopupurira mumwe nomumwe unonzwa mashoko okuporofita kwebhuku iyi, ndichiti: Kana munhu akawedzera pazvinhu izvi, Mwari uchawedzera kwaari madambudziko akanyorwa mubhuku iyi;For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

¹⁹kana munhu akabvisa mashoko ebhuku yokuporofita uku, Mwari uchabvisa mugove wake pabhuku yovupenyu, nomuguta dzvene, napazvinhu zvakanyorwa mubhuku iyi.And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

²⁰Iye unopupura izvozvi unoti: Hongu, vuyai Ishe Jesu.He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

²¹Nyasha dzaShe Jesu Kristu ngadzive navose. Ameni.The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
