1Pea ne u mamata ki he langi foʻou mo e fonua foʻou: he kuo mole atu ʻae ʻuluaki langi mo e ʻuluaki fonua: pea naʻe ʻikai kei ʻi ai ha tahi.
1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
2Pea ko au Sione, ne u mamata ki he kolo māʻoniʻoni, ko Selūsalema foʻou, ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he ʻOtua ʻi he langi, kuo teuteu ʻo hangē ha taʻahine kuo teu ki hono ʻeiki taʻane.
2I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3Pea ne u fanongo ki he leʻo lahi mei he langi, ʻoku pehē, “Vakai, ko e fale fehikitaki ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi he kakai, pea ʻe nofo ia mo kinautolu; pea te nau hoko ko hono kakai, pea ʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae ʻOtua, ko honau ʻOtua.
3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God.
4Pea ʻe holoholo ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae loʻimata kotoa pē mei honau mata; pea ʻe ʻikai kei ai ha mate, pe ha ongosia, pe ha tangi, pea ʻe ʻikai kei ai ha mamahi: he kuo mole atu ʻae ngaahi meʻa muʻa.”
4‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”
5Pea ko ia naʻe nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ou fakafoʻou ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.” Pea ne pehē mai kiate au, “Tohi: he ʻoku moʻoni mo totonu ʻae ngaahi lea ni.”
5And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.”
6Pea ne pehē mai kiate au, “Kuo fai ia. Ko au ko e ʻAlifa mo ʻOmeka, ko e kamataʻanga mo e ngataʻanga. Te u foaki taʻetotongi mei he matavai moʻui kiate ia ʻoku fieinu.
6And He told me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give freely from the spring of the water of life.
7Ko ia ia ʻe ikuna, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē; pea teu hoko ko hono ʻOtua, pea ʻe hoko ia ko hoku foha.
7The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.
8Ka ko e loto foʻi, mo e taʻetui, mo e fakalielia, mo e kau fakapō, mo e kau feʻauaki, mo e kau fiemana, mo e kau tauhi tamapua, mo e loi kotoa pē, ko honau tofiʻa ʻoku ʻi he ano ʻoku vela ʻi he afi mo e sulifa: ʻaia ko e mate ʻangaua.”
8But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”
9Pea ko e tokotaha ʻi he ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae hina ʻe fitu kuo fonu ʻi he malaʻia fakamui ʻe fitu, naʻe haʻu kiate au, ʻo lea mai kiate au, mo pehē, “Haʻu ki heni, te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae taʻahine, ko e uaifi ʻoe Lami.”
9Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10Pea naʻe ʻāvea au ʻi he laumālie ki ha moʻunga lahi mo māʻolunga ʻo ne fakahā kiate au ʻae kolo lahi ko ia, ʻae Selūsalema māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei loto langi mei he ʻOtua,
10And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,
11Kuo ʻi ai ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua: pea ko hono maama naʻe tatau mo e maka koloa mahuʻinga lahi ʻaupito, ʻio, ʻe hangē ko e maka ko e sasipa, ʻoku ʻāsinisini ʻo hangē ko e kalisitala;
11shining with the glory of God. Its radiance was like a most precious jewel, like a jasper, as clear as crystal.
12Pea naʻe ai hono ʻa naʻe lahi mo māʻolunga, pea naʻe hongofulu ma ua hono ngaahi matapā, pea naʻe ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻae ʻāngelo ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, pea naʻe tohi ʻi ai ʻae hingoa, ʻa ia ko e hingoa ʻoe faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli:
12The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve angels at the gates.
13Naʻe tolu ʻae matapā ki he potu hahake; naʻe tolu ʻae matapā ki he potu tokelau; naʻe tolu ʻae matapā ki he potu tonga; naʻe tolu ʻae matapā ki he potu lulunga.
13There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.
14Pea ko e ʻā ʻoe kolo, naʻe hongofulu ma ua hono ngaahi tuʻunga, pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae hingoa ʻae ʻaposetolo ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua ʻoe lami.
14The wall of the city had twelve foundations bearing the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15Pea ko ia naʻa ne talanoa mai kiate au, naʻa ne maʻu ʻae vaʻa kaho koula, ke fuofua ʻaki ʻae kolo, mo hono ngaahi matapā, mo hono ʻā.
15The angel who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls.
16Pea ʻoku tapa fā tatau pe ʻae kolo, pea ʻoku tatau hono lōloa mo hono māukupu: pea ne fuofua ʻaki ʻae vaʻa kaho ʻae kolo, ko e maile ʻe taha afe mo e nimangeau. Ko hono lōloa mo hono māukupu mo hono māʻolunga ʻoku tatau pe.
16The city lies foursquare, with its width the same as its length. And he measured the city with the rod, and all its dimensions were equal—12,000 stadia in length and width and height.
17Pea naʻe fuofua ʻae ʻā, ko e kiupite ʻe teau ma fāngofulu ma fā, ʻi he fuofua ʻoe tangata, ʻa ia, ko e ʻāngelo.
17And he measured its wall to be 144 cubits, by the human measure the angel was using.
18Pea naʻe langa ʻaki ʻa hono ʻā ʻae sasipa: pea ko e kolo ko e koula haohaoa, ʻo hangē ha sioʻata ʻāsinisini.
18The wall was made of jasper, and the city itself of pure gold, as pure as glass.
19Pea ko e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻoe ʻā ʻoe kolo, naʻe sipa; ko hono ua, ko e safaia; ko hono tolu, ko e kalisitone; ko hono fā, ko e ʻemalata;
19The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone: The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
20Ko hono nima, ko e satoniki; ko hono ono, ko e satio; ko hono fitu, ko e kalisolaite; ko hono valu, ko e pelili; ko hono hiva, ko e topasi ko hono hongofulu, ko e kelaisapaso ko hono hongofulu ma taha, ko e sasini; ko hono hongofulu ma ua, ko e ʻametisi.
20the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
21Pea ko hono matapā ʻe hongofulu ma ua, ko e mataʻitofe ʻe hongofulu ma ua; naʻe taki taha pe ʻae mataʻitofe ʻi he matapā: pea ko e hala lahi ʻoe kolo, ko e koula haohaoa, ʻo hangē ha sioʻata ʻāsinisini.
21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, with each gate consisting of a single pearl. The main street of the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.
22Pea naʻe ʻikai te u mamata ʻi ai ki ha fale tapu: he ko hono fale tapu ʻoʻona ʻae ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi pea mo e Lami.
22But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae laʻā ki he kolo, pe ko e māhina, ke ulo ʻi ai: he ʻoku fakamaama ia 'e he naunau 'oe 'Otua, pea ko e Lami, ko hono maama ia 'o'ona.
23And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24Pea ko e ngaahi pule'anga 'o kinautolu 'e fakamo'ui te nau 'a'eva 'i hono maama: pea 'oku 'omi ki ai 'e he ngaahi tu'i 'o māmani ʻa honau nāunau mo e fakaʻapaʻapa.
24By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory.
25Pea ʻe ʻikai tāpuni ʻa hono ngaahi matapā ʻi he ʻaho; he koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha pō.
25Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there.
26Pea te nau ʻomi ki ai ʻae nāunau mo e fakaʻapaʻapa ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga.
26And into the city will be brought the glory and honor of the nations.
27Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hū ki ai ha meʻa ʻoku fakaʻuli, pe fai fakalielia, pe loi: ka ko kinautolu pe ʻoku tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe moʻui ʻae Lami.
27But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
