22  Na ka whakakitea mai e ia ki ahau he awa wai ora, piata tonu me te karaihe, e puta mai ana i te torona o te Atua raua ko te Reme,

I waenganui o tona huarahi. Na i tenei taha o te awa, a i tera taha, ko te rakau o te ora, kotahi tekau ma rua ona momo hua, e hua ana ona hua i tetahi marama, i tetahi marama: a ko nga rau o te rakau hei whakaora mo nga tauiwi.

A kore ake he kanga i muri nei: ko reira ano hoki te torona o te Atua raua ko te Reme; a ka mahi ana pononga ki a ia:

E kite hoki ratou i tona kanohi; ka mau hoki tona ingoa ki o ratou rae.

A kore ake o reira po; kore ake o ratou meatanga ki te marama o te rama, ki te marama hoki o te ra; e marama hoki ratou i te Ariki, i te Atua: a e kingi ratou ake ake.

I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, He pono, he tika enei kupu: kua tonoa hoki e te Ariki, e te Atua o nga poropiti tapu, tana anahera, hei whakakite mai ki ana pononga i nga mea ka hohoro nei te meinga.

Na ka hohoro toku haere atu: ka hari te tangata e whakarite ana i nga kupu o te poropititanga o tenei pukapuka.

A ko ahau, ko Hoani, tenei i rongo nei, i kite nei i enei mea. A, no toku rongonga, no toku kitenga, ka hinga ahau ki raro, ka mea kia koropiko ki mua i nga waewae o te anahera i whakakitea mai ai enei mea ki ahau.

Na ko tana meatanga mai ki ahau, Kauaka: he hoa pononga hoki ahau nou, no ou tuakana hoki, no nga poropiti, no te hunga ano e pupuri ana i nga kupu o tenei pukapuka: me koropiko ki te Atua.

10 Na ka mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Kaua e hiritia nga kupu o te poropititanga o tenei pukapuka: e tata ana hoki te taima.

11 Ko te tangata e he ana te whakahaere, kia he ano te whakahaere: ko te tangata e poke ana, kia poke ano ia: ko te tangata e tika ana, kia tika ano ia: ko te tangata e tapu ana, kia tapu ano ia.

12 Na, ka hohoro toku haere atu; kei ahau ano taku utu, a ka rite ki ana mahi ake nga mea e hoatu ki tetahi, ki tetahi.

13 Ko ahau te Arepa, te Omeka, te tuatahi, te whakaotinga, te timatanga, te whakamutunga.

14 Ka hari te hunga e horoi ana i o ratou kakahu, kia taunga ai ratou te haere mai ki te rakau o te ora, ka tomo ano ki te pa ra nga tatau.

15 Kei waho nga kuri, me te hunga makutu, me te hunga moepuku, me nga kaikohuru, me te hunga karakia ki te whakapakoko, me te hunga katoa e pai ana, e mahi ana i te teka.

16 Kua tonoa e ahau, e Ihu, taku anahera, hei whakaatu i enei mea ki a koutou i roto i nga hahi. Ko ahau te pakiaka, te uri o Rawiri, te whetu marama o te ata.

17 E mea ana hoki te Wairua me te wahine marena hou, Haere mai. Me ki ake ano e te tangata e rongo ana, Haere mai. Kia haere mai hoki te tangata e hiainu ana: kia tangohia noatia ano te wai ora e te tangata e hiahia ana.

18 He whakaatu hoki naku tenei ki te hunga katoa e rongo ana ki nga kupu o te poropititanga o tenei pukapuka, Ki te tapiritia mai e tetahi ki enei mea, ka tapiritia atu ano e te Atua mona nga whiu kua oti te tuhituhi ki tenei pukapuka:

19 A ki te tangohia atu e tetahi he kupu i te pukapuka o tenei poropititanga, ka tangohia e te Atua tona wahi i roto i te pukapuka o te ora, i te pa tapu hoki, i nga mea hoki kua oti te tuhituhi ki tenei pukapuka.

20 Tenei te ki nei te Kaiwhakaatu o enei mea, Na, ka hohoro ano toku haere atu. Amine. Ae ra, haere mai, e te Ariki, e Ihu.

21 Kia tau ki te hunga tapu katoa te atawhai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti. Amine.

Eden Restored

22 Then the angel showed me the river(A) of the water of life,(B) as clear as crystal,(C) flowing(D) from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life,(E) bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.(F) No longer will there be any curse.(G) The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.(H) They will see his face,(I) and his name will be on their foreheads.(J) There will be no more night.(K) They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light.(L) And they will reign for ever and ever.(M)

John and the Angel

The angel said to me,(N) “These words are trustworthy and true.(O) The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets,(P) sent his angel(Q) to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”

“Look, I am coming soon!(R) Blessed(S) is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.”(T)

I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things.(U) And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet(V) of the angel who had been showing them to me. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll.(W) Worship God!”(X)

10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up(Y) the words of the prophecy of this scroll,(Z) because the time is near.(AA) 11 Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.”(AB)

Epilogue: Invitation and Warning

12 “Look, I am coming soon!(AC) My reward is with me,(AD) and I will give to each person according to what they have done.(AE) 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega,(AF) the First and the Last,(AG) the Beginning and the End.(AH)

14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes,(AI) that they may have the right to the tree of life(AJ) and may go through the gates(AK) into the city.(AL) 15 Outside(AM) are the dogs,(AN) those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16 “I, Jesus,(AO) have sent my angel(AP) to give you[a] this testimony for the churches.(AQ) I am the Root(AR) and the Offspring of David,(AS) and the bright Morning Star.”(AT)

17 The Spirit(AU) and the bride(AV) say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.(AW)

18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll:(AX) If anyone adds anything to them,(AY) God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.(AZ) 19 And if anyone takes words away(BA) from this scroll of prophecy,(BB) God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life(BC) and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

20 He who testifies to these things(BD) says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”(BE)

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.(BF)

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people.(BG) Amen.
