Uruyan Yuhana 22
1 Gono ka dura Kutelle dursoi kurawa nmen nlai, mmene kanang nofo crystal, mi wa din chum ici ti lisosin Kutelle nin Gono me
The angel showed me the river of water [that causes people who drink from it] to live [forever]. The water was sparkling and clear like crystal. The river was flowing out from the throne where God and the [one who is like a] lamb [were sitting].
2 nya kitik nlayi kipine, nya ko kome kurawe kuchan nlai wa yisinku, nin kumay ngangang udu likure nin na ba, anin macha kumal me ko uyemme upui. Afa na che anin nare ba shizinu nin ko mome nmin.
It flowed down through the middle of the [main] street of the city. On each side of the river were trees [bearing fruit that causes people who eat it] to live forever. [The trees] bear twelve [crops] (OR, twelve [kinds]) of fruit; [they] produce one crop each month. The [people of the] nations [MTY] [use] the leaves of these trees [as medicine] in order that they may feel stronger
3 Na iba se umon usunun nnuu ba, kiti lisosin Kutelle nin Gono me ba yi tu nya kipine, achin me ba su ngne kataa.
There will never be [anyone or anything there that God] will be [under God’s] curse. The throne of God and the [one who is like a] lamb will be in the city. And God’s servants will worship him there.
4 Iba yenu umuro me, lisa me ba yitu niting mine.
They will see him face-to-face, and his name will be [written] {[he] will [write] his name} on their foreheads.
5 Kitik ba yi tu ba, na iba yitu nin su mmou kanang pitilaba sa uwwui bar ugo Kutelle nkanang mere ba yi tu na ti mine, iba so lisosin sa ligang. (aiōn g165)
There will never again be night. [God’s servants] will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine his light upon them. And they will rule forever. (aiōn g165)
6 kadure wurei, to tigbulan ngne tin chiu kibineiyari tutung kiden nere, Chiki lare, Kutelle, nfunu uchine na nan kadura me, wa tuu unan kadura me adursu a chin me ile imon na iba dak na piit ba.
The angel said to me: “These words that [God has revealed to you] are true, and he will certainly do what he has promised to do. The Lord God who ([inspires] the prophets/tells the prophets what to say) sent his angel to show the people who serve him the events that must happen soon.”
7 Yene! Nnan na daa nene! Unan mmariari ule na awufu ligbulan lo na ana kadure na belin nya tagarde.
[Jesus says to all his people], “Listen [to] this! I am coming soon; [God will abundantly] bless everyone who obeys what [has been commanded] in this book.”
8 Meng, Yohanna, mere na lanza idursai ile imone, ku bi ko na nwa lanza nyene, nno-o kutin nbun na bunu nnan kadure nzazin ngne, unan kadure na awa dursai ileli imone.
I, John, am the one who heard and saw [in a vision] these things [that I have written down]. When I had heard and seen [them], I immediately knelt down at the feet of the angel who was showing them to me, in order to worship him.
9 Aworei, “Na uwa su nani ba! Men wang udo lichinnari fo fewe, udu nin na lee na inun chifuno ulirume na ina yer tin nya tagarda me. Zazina Kutelle!”
But he said to me, “Do not [worship me] I am [just] your fellow servant! I am also the fellow servant of your fellow believers who are (the prophets/the ones who tell messages that come directly from God), and I am a fellow servant of those who obey what has been commanded in this book. [Instead], worship God!”
10 Aworei yenje, “Uwa yachu tipinpin na nan kadure nyan takarda ulele, ku be ndaa susut.
He also said to me, “Do not keep secret the message about what [God] has foretold in this book, because it is almost time [MTY] for him to [what he has promised to do in this message].
11 Ule na adi nin dinong, na ali ubun nin dinonong me, ule na adi alau, na ali ubun nin su ni le imon na idi lau. ule na adi lau, na ali ubun nin lau me.
[Since that time is near, if] those who act in an evil manner [want to] continue to act that way [IRO], [that is up to them. God will soon] ([pay them back/punish them]) [for that. If] those who are vile [want to] continue to be vile [IRO], [that is up to them. God will soon] ([pay them back/punish them]) [for that]. Those who are [acting] righteously should continue to act righteously. And those who are holy should continue to be holy.”
12 Yene nnan na daa susut. Ulada ningne di nin mi, nni ko ngna ku chot nin nile imon na ana su.
[Jesus says this to everyone]: “Listen! I am coming soon! And I will pay back everyone according to what each one has done, by [punishing or] rewarding them.
13 Mere Alfe mere Omega, Uchizinu nin ligang, Mere infinu me mere umalzinu.
I [am] the one who began all things [MET] and the one who will cause all things to end [MET]. I existed before [all things existed] and I will exist at the end [of all things] [DOU].
14 Anan mmariari ale na ikusu alutuk mine bar iba kubi ili kumat kuchan lai inin piru nya kipin kane nibulun kining.
[God] is very pleased with the people who wash their robes, [making themselves spiritually clean] [MET], because they will be able to [eat the fruit of] [MTY] the tree [that enables people] to live [forever], and because they will [be able] to enter the gates into the [holy] city.
15 Ndasse ni nau wari, anan niyiu, anan kapul ndinong, anan molsu na nit, anan chil, nin le na adi ninsu nsu kinuu.
[People who are unholy] will not be allowed to enter the city. They include people who practice sorcery, people who sin sexually, murderers, idol worshipers, and everyone who enjoys telling lies and are continual liars. [They can never enter that city].”
16 Me, Yisa, nna tuu unan kadura nin adurso minu ile imene bara atii alau. Mere liling ngne nin kuwunun Dauda, fiyini fi kanan nkwi din ding.”
“I, Jesus, sent my angel in order that he might tell you who are in the congregations [that all] these things [that have been said are true]. I am the descendant of [King] David [whom the prophets promised would come] [MET]. I am the [one who is like] the bright morning star [MET], the one [that Moses promised would come].”
17 Ufunu ulau we nin gankishono nworo, “Daa!” Na ale ilanza woro, “Daa!” Ule na adi nin suu we, na ase mmen nlai ye sa ubiu.
[God’s] Spirit and [his people, who are like] [MET] the bride [of Christ], say [to each one who desires to believe], “Come!” Whoever hears [this] should also say [to each one who desires to believe], “Come!” [Spiritually thirsty people should come] [MET]! Everyone who desires the water [that enables people to] live [forever] should take it as a free gift!
18 Ndursu vat nle na alanza tigbulan: Na nan nkpinaku, Kutelle ba kpin ngne ku aluba ale na iyertine nya ntagarda ulele.
“I, [Jesus, solemnly] warn everyone who hears what [I] have foretold in this book: If anyone adds anything to this message, God will cause him to experience the plagues that are {that [I] have} described in this book.
19 Wassa umen chaana tigbulan na nan kadura nyan ntakarda ulele, Kutelle ba kaluulada me nya kuchan lai nin nya kipin kilau, ile na ina yertin nyan takardaa ulele.
If anyone omits any of the message about what [I] have foretold in this book, God will take away that person’s right [to eat fruit from] [MTY] the tree [that enables people] to live [forever]. He [will also take away] that person’s right [to enter] God’s city. [Both these things] are described {[I] have described [both these things]} in this book.”
20 Ule na udurso ile imone a woro, “E-eh! Ndin chinu nene.” Uso nani! Daa, Cikilari Yisa!
[Jesus], who says that [all] the things written here are true, says, “Certainly I am coming soon!” [I, John, reply], “(May it be so!/Amen!) Lord Jesus, come!”
21 Na nshew nCikilari Yisa so nin ko ngna mine. Uso nani.
[I pray that our] Lord Jesus [will continue to] act kindly to all [of you who are God’s people]. (Amen!/May it be so!)
