1And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2In 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. 3And 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: 4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5And 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.
6And 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. 7Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 8And 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. 9Then 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. 10And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11He 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. 12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14Blessed 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. 15For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16I 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. 17And 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.
18For 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: 19And 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. 20He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Mtsinje Wamoyo
1Ndipo mngeloyo anandionetsa mtsinje wamadzi amoyo, oyera ngati mwala wa krustalo ukutuluka ku mpando waufumu wa Mulungu ndi wa Mwana Wankhosa, 2Ukuyenda pakati pa msewu waukulu wa mu mzindawo. Mbali iliyonse ya mtsinjewo kunali mtengo wamoyo, utabala zipatso khumi ndi ziwiri. Kubereka zipatso mwezi uliwonse. Ndipo masamba a mtengowo ndi mankhwala wochiritsa anthu a mitundu ina. 3Sipadzakhalanso temberero lililonse. Mpando waufumu wa Mulungu ndi wa Mwana Wankhosa udzakhala mu mzindawo, ndipo atumiki ake adzamutumikira. 4Iwo adzaona nkhope yake ndipo dzina lake lidzalembedwa pa mphumi zawo. 5Sipadzakhalanso usiku. Sadzafuna kuwala kwa nyale kapena kwa dzuwa pakuti Ambuye Mulungu adzakhala kuwala kwawo. Ndipo adzalamulira kwamuyaya.
6Mngeloyo anandiwuza kuti, “Mawu awa ndi okhulupirika ndi owona. Ambuye Mulungu wa mizimu ya aneneri anatumiza mngelo wake kudzaonetsa atumiki ake zinthu zimene ziyenera kuchitika posachedwapa.”
Yesu Akubweranso
7“Taonani, ndikubwera posachedwa! Wodala ndi amene asunga mawu oneneratu za kutsogolo a mʼbuku ili.”
8Ine Yohane, ndine amene ndinamva ndi kuona zinthu izi. Ndipo pamene ndinamva ndi kuona izi ndinagwa pansi kuti ndipembedze mngelo amene amandionetsa zimenezi. 9Koma mngeloyo anandiwuza kuti, “Usatero ayi! Ine ndine wotumikira monga iwe pamodzi ndi abale ako aneneri ndi onse amene amasunga mawu a mʼbuku pembedzani Mulungu.”
10Kenaka anandiwuza kuti, “Usabise mawu onena zamʼtsogolo a mʼbuku ili chifukwa nthawi yayandikira. 11Wochita zoyipa apitirire kuchita zoyipazo; wochita zonyansa apitirire kuchita zonyansazo; wochita zabwino apitirire kuchita zabwinozo; ndipo woyera mtima apitirire kukhala woyera mtima.”
Mawu Otsiriza: Kuyitanidwa ndi Chenjezo
12“Taonani, ndikubwera posachedwa! Ndikubwera ndi mphotho zanga kuti ndidzapereke kwa aliyense malinga ndi zimene anachita. 13Ine ndine Alefa ndi Omega, Woyamba ndi Wotsiriza, Chiyambi ndi Chimaliziro ndine.
14“Odala amene achapa mikanjo yawo, kuti akhale ndi ufulu wopita ku mtengo wamoyo ndi kuti akalowe mʼzipata za mu mzindawo. 15Kunja kuli agalu, amatsenga, achiwerewere, akupha anthu, opembedza mafano ndi aliyense amene amakonda bodza ndi kulichita.
16“Ine Yesu, ndatuma mngelo wanga kuti achitire umboni uwu ku mipingo. Ine ndine Muzu ndi Chipatso cha Davide ndipo ndine Nthanda Yonyezimira.”
17Mzimu Woyera ndi mkwatibwi akuti, “Bwerani!” Ndipo amene akumva anena kuti Bwerani! Iye amene ali ndi ludzu abwere, ndipo aliyense amene afuna alandire mphatso yaulere ya madzi amoyo.
18Ndikuchenjeza aliyense amene akumva mawu onena zamʼtsogolo a mʼbukuli kuti, “Ngati wina awonjezerapo kalikonse, Mulungu adzamuwonjezera miliri imene yalembedwa mʼbuku ili. 19Ndipo wina akachotsapo mawu onena zamʼtsogolo a mʼbuku ili, Mulungu adzachotsa gawo lake pa mtengo wamoyo ndi la mu mzinda woyera zimene zanenedwa mʼbuku ili.”
20Iye amene akuchitira umboni pa zinthu izi akuti, “Inde, Ine ndikubwera posachedwa.”
Ameni. Bwerani Ambuye Yesu.
21Chisomo cha Ambuye Yesu chikhale ndi anthu onse. Ameni.
