Revelasyon 21
1 Apre sa, mwen wè yon lòt sièl ak yon lòt latè. Premie sièl la ak premie latè a te disparèt. pa t' gen okenn lanmè ankò.
Then I saw new heavens and a new earth. The former heavens and the former earth had passed away; and the sea has ceased to be.
2 Apre sa, mwen wè lavil Bondye a, lòt Jerizalèm nèf lan, ki t'ap desann soti bò kot Bondye ye nan sièl la. Li te byen abiye, li te pare tankou yon lamarye ki pral kontre fiyanse li.
And I saw the Holy City, Jerusalem, descending new out of heaven from God, like a bride adorned in readiness for her husband.
3 Mwen tande yon vwa ki t'ap soti bò fòtèy la, li t'ap di byen fò: Koulye a, kay Bondye a se nan mitan moun l'ap ye. L'ap rete nan mitan yo, lèzòm ap yon pèp pou li. Se Bondye menm k'ap viv avèk yo, li va Bondye pou yo.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne, which said – “See! The tent of God is set up among people. God will live among them, and they will be his Peoples, and God himself will be among them,
4 Li gen pou l' cheche tout dlo nan je yo. p'ap gen lanmò ankò, yo p'ap nan lapenn ankò, yo p'ap janm plenyen ankò, yo p'ap janm soufri ankò. Tout vie bagay sa yo pral disparèt.
and he will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, nor will there be any more grief or crying or pain. The old order has passed away.”
5 Lè sa a, moun ki te chita sou fòtèy la di: Koulye a, mwen fè tout bagay vin nèf. Apre sa li di mwen: Ou mèt ekri sa, paske pawòl mwen se pawòl ki vre, pawòl tout moun dwe kwè.
And he who was seated on the throne said – “See, I make all things new!” And he said – “Write this, for these words may be trusted and are true.”
6 Apre sa li di ankò: Bon. Tout bagay fin fèt. Mwen se A ak Z, mwen se konmansman, mwen se finisman. Si yon moun swaf dlo, m'a ba li bwè dlo gratis nan sous dlo ki bay lavi a.
And he said to me – “They are fulfilled. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End. To those who thirst I will give of the spring of the water of life, freely.
7 Se sa moun ki va genyen batay la va resevwa nan men m'. M'a va Bondye yo, y'a va pitit mwen.
Those who conquer will enter into possession of these things, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.
9 Yonn nan sèt zanj ki te kenbe sèt gode plen ak sèt dènye kalamite yo vin di mwen: Vini non. Mwen pral moutre ou lamarye a, fiyanse ti Mouton an.
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, and were laden with the seven last curses, came and spoke to me. “Come here,” he said, “and I will show you the Bride, the Wife of the Lamb.”
10 Nan vizyon an, mwen wè zanj lan mennen m' sou tèt yon mòn byen wo. Li moutre m' lavil Bondye a, Jerizalèm ki desann soti bò kote Bondye ye nan sièl la.
He carried me away in a trance to a great high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the Holy City, descending out of heaven from God, filled with the glory of God.
11 Li te klere byen bèl ak limiè prezans Bondye a. Lavil la te klere tankou yon piè bijou ki koute chè anpil, tankou yon piè jasp klè kou kristal.
Its brilliance was like a precious stone, like a jasper, transparent as crystal.
12 Li te gen yon gwo miray byen wo avèk douz pòtay. Te gen yon zanj nan chak pòtay pou veye yo. Sou pòtay yo, yo te ekri non douz branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
It had a great high wall, in which were twelve gates; and at these gates there were twelve angels, and there were names inscribed on the gates, the names of the twelve tribes of the Israelites.
13 Te gen twa pòtay sou chak kote: twa pòtay sou bò lès, twa pòtay sou bò nò, twa pòtay sou bò sid, twa pòtay sou bò lwès.
There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
14 Miray la te kanpe sou douz gwo wòch. Yo te ekri non douz apòt ti Mouton an sou wòch yo.
The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, on which were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan te gen yon baton pou mezire nan men li, yon baton wozo fèt an lò, pou l' te pran mezi lavil la, mezi pòtay yo ak mezi miray la.
And the angel who was speaking to me had as a measure a gold rod, with which to measure the city and its gates and its wall.
16 Lavil la te tankou yon bwat kare, longè l' te menm ak lajè li. Zanj lan mezire lavil la ak baton wozo l' la. Lavil la gen demildesan (2.200) kilomèt longè. Lajè l' ak wotè l' te menm ak longè li.
The city is square; the length and the breadth are the same. The angel measured with his rod; it was twelve hundred miles; its length, and breadth, and height are equal.
17 Zanj lan mezire miray la: miray la te gen swasanndouz (72) mèt sou wotè, dapre mezi òdenè li t'ap sèvi a.
Then he measured the wall; it was two hundred and eighty-eight feet, as people measure, that is as the angel measured.
18 Miray la te bati an jasp. Lavil la menm te an bon lò, li te klere kou kristal.
The material of the wall of the city was jasper, and the city was built of pure gold, which shone like clear glass.
19 Gwo wòch fondasyon miray lavil la te byen òne ak tout kalite piè bijou gwo pri. Premie wòch la te an jasp, dezyèm lan an safi, twazièm lan an agat, katriyèm lan an emwòd,
The foundations of the wall of the city were ornamented with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was a jasper; the second a sapphire; the third a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald;
20 senkièm lan an oniks, sizièm lan an sadwan, setièm lan an krizolit, witièm lan an beril, nevièm lan an topaz, dizyèm lan an krizopraz, onzièm lan an tikwaz, douzyèm lan an ametis.
the fifth a sardonyx; the sixth a carnelian; the seventh a chrysolite; the eighth a beryl; the ninth a topaz; the tenth a chrysoprase; the eleventh a hyacinth; and the twelfth an amethyst.
21 Douz pòtay yo te douz bèl grenn pèl. Chak pòtay yo te fèt ak yon sèl grenn pèl. Tout lari nan lavil la te fèt an bon lò, klè kou kristal.
The twelve gates were made of twelve pearls, each gate of one pearl. The street of the city was of pure gold, transparent as glass.
22 Mwen pa t' wè tanp nan lavil la, paske Mèt la, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, te tanp li ansanm ak ti Mouton an.
And I saw no Temple there, for the Lord, our God, the Almighty, and the Lamb are its Temple.
23 Lavil la pa t' bezwen ni solèy, ni lalin pou klere l' paske limiè prezans Bondye a te klere l' nèt, ti Mouton an te tankou yon lanp pou li.
The city has no need of the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God illuminated it, and its Lamp was the Lamb.
24 Gremesi limiè l' la, tout nasyon ki sou latè va wè pou yo mache. Tout wa latè yo va pote richès yo ba li.
The nations walk by the light of it; and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it.
25 Pòtay yo va rete louvri tout lajounen. Men, paske la p'ap janm fè nwit, pòtay yo p'ap janm fèmen.
Its gates will never be shut by day, and there will be no night there.
26 Tout richès nasyon yo ansanm ak tout bèl bagay yo genyen va anpile nan lavil la.
And people will bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 Men, anyen ki pa bon pou sèvis Bondye p'ap antre nan lavil la. Ni yo p'ap kite moun k'ap fè bagay ki bay degoutans, moun k'ap bay manti, mete pie yo nan lavil la. Moun ki va antre nan lavil la, se sèlman moun ki gen non yo ekri nan liv ki nan men ti Mouton an, liv ki gen non moun ki gen lavi a.
Never will any unhallowed thing enter it, nor they whose life is shameful and false, but only those whose names have been written in the Lamb’s book of life.
