< Revelation 21 >

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more.
A i kite ahau i te rangi hou, i te whenua hou: kua pahemo hoki te rangi tuatahi, me te whenua tuatahi; a kahore atu he moana.
2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
I kite ano ahau i te pa tapu, i Hiruharama hou, e heke iho ana i te rangi i te Atua, rite rawa, ano he wahine marena hou kua oti te whakapaipai mo tana tane.
3 And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God:
I rongo ano ahau i te reo nui i te rangi e mea ana, Na, kei nga tangata te tapenakara o te Atua, a e noho ia ki a ratou, ko ratou hoki hei iwi mana, ko te Atua nei ano hei a ratou, hei Atua mo ratou:
4 and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed away.
Ka murua hoki e ia nga roimata katoa i o ratou kanohi; a kore ake he mate; kahore hoki he aue, kahore he tangi, kahore he mamae, i nga wa i muri nei: kua pahemo atu hoki nga mea o mua.
5 And he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith, Write: for these words are faithful and true.
A ka korero mai tera e noho ra i runga i te torona, Na, ka hanga houtia e ahau nga mea katoa. I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Tuhituhia: no te mea he pono, he tika enei kupu.
6 And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Kua oti enei mea. Ko ahau te Arepa, te Omeka, te timatanga, te whakamutunga. Ka hoatu noa e ahau ki te tangata matewai he wai i te puna o te wai o te ora.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, e whiwhi ia ki enei mea; ko ahau hoki hei Atua mona, ko ia hei tama maku.
8 But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [shall be] in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
Na, ko te hunga wehi, ko te hunga whakateka, ko te hunga whakarihariha, ko nga kaikohuru, ko te hunga moepuku, ko te hunga makutu, ko te hunga karakia ki te whakapakoko, ko te hunga teka katoa, ko te wahi mo ratou kei te roto e ka ana i te ahi, i te whanariki: ko te matenga tuarua tenei. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
9 And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
Na ka haere mai ki ahau tetahi o nga anahera e whitu, kei a ratou nei nga oko e whitu e ki ana i nga whiu whakamutunga e whitu; ka ki mai ki ahau, ka mea, Haere mai, maku e whakakite ki a koe te wahine marena hou, te wahine a te Reme.
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and shewed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
Na haria ana ahau e ia i roto i te Wairua ki tetahi maunga nui, tiketike, a ka whakakitea mai ki ahau te pa tapu, a Hiruharama, e heke iho ana i te rangi i te Atua.
11 having the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal:
Kei taua pa ano te kororia o te Atua: rite tonu tona marama ki to te kohatu utu nui whakaharahara, ano he kohatu hahapa, marama tonu me he karaihe;
12 having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, which are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
He taiepa kohatu ano tona, he mea nui, tiketike, tekau ma rua nga tatau, kotahi tekau ma rua ano nga anahera i nga tatau, tuhituhi rawa ki te ingoa, ara ki nga ingoa o nga hapu kotahi tekau ma rua o nga tama a Iharaira:
13 on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
I te rawhiti e toru nga tatau; i te hauraro e toru nga tatau; i te tonga e toru nga tatau; i te hauauru e toru nga tatau.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
A ko te taiepa o te pa, kotahi tekau ma rua ona turanga, kei aua turanga ano nga ingoa o nga apotoro a te Reme, kotahi tekau ma rua.
15 And he that spake with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
Na, ko tera i korero ra ki ahau, he kakaho koura tana hei whanganga mana i te pa, i ona tatau, i tona taiepa kohatu.
16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: the length and the breadth and the height thereof are equal.
Na, ko te takoto o te pa, e wha nga poti, tona roa rite tonu ki tona whanui: na ka whangangatia e ia te pa ki te kakaho, kotahi tekau ma rua mano nga paronga. Ko tona roa, ko te whanui, ko te ikeike, rite tonu.
17 And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
Na ka whangangatia ano e ia tona taiepa, kotahi rau e wha tekau ma wha nga whatianga, he ruri na te tangata, ara na te anahera.
18 And the building of the wall thereof was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto pure glass.
Na ko te mea i hanga ai tona taiepa he hahapa: he koura parakore ano hoki te pa, rite tonu ki te karaihe marama.
19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
Ko nga turanga o te taiepa o te pa he mea whakapaipai ki nga kohatu utu nui katoa. Ko te turanga tuatahi he hahapa; ko te tuarua, he hapaira; ko te tuatoru, he karakeroni; ko te tuawha, he emerara;
20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
Ko te tuarima, he hararonika; ko te tuaono, he harariu; ko te tuawhitu, he karihorita; ko te tuawaru, he perira; ko te tuaiwa, he topaha; ko te ngahauru, he karihoparaha; ko te tekau ma tahi, he hakiniti; ko te tekau ma rua, he ametihita.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the several gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
Na, ko nga tatau kotahi tekau ma rua, kotahi tekau ma rua peara: ko tenei tatau, ko tenei tatau, kotahi tonu peara: ko te huarahi hoki o te pa he koura parakore, ko ia ano kei te karaihe piata.
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof.
Na kihai ahau i kite i tetahi whare tapu i reira: ko te Ariki hoki, ko te Atua Kaha Rawa raua ko te Reme te whare tapu o reira.
23 And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine upon it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp thereof [is] the Lamb.
Kahore hoki taua pa i mea ki te ra mona, ki te marama ranei, hei whiti ki roto: e whakamaramatia ana hoki a reira e te kororia o te Atua, ko te Reme hoki tona mamara.
24 And the nations shall walk amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory into it.
E haere hoki nga tauiwi i waenganui o tona marama: a e kawea mai ano hoki e nga kingi o te ao to ratou kororia ki reira.
25 And the gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there):
E kore hoki ona tatau e tutakina i te awatea; kore ake hoki o reira po:
26 and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it:
A e kawea mai hoki te kororia me te honore o nga tauiwi ki reira:
27 and there shall in no wise enter into it anything unclean, or he that maketh an abomination and a lie: but only they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
E kore ano e tomo ki roto tetahi mea whakanoa, te tangata ranei e mahi ana i te whakarihariha, i te teka ranei: ko te hunga anake kua oti te tuhituhi ki ta te Reme pukapuka o te ora.
