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.
1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth was gone, and the sea is now 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.
2And I John 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 great voice from the throne, saying: Behold the tabernacle of God with men, and he will dwell with them. And they shall be his people; and God himself with them shall be 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.”
4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and death shall be no more, nor mourning, nor crying, nor sorrow shall be any more, for the former things are 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 he that sat on the throne, said: Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me: Write, for these words are most 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 said to me: It is done. I am Alpha and Omega; the beginning and the end. To him that thirsteth, I will give of the fountain of the water of life, freely.
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.
7He that shall overcome shall possess these things, and I will be his God; and he shall 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 the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, they shall have their portion in the pool burning with fire and brimstone, which 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.”
9And there came one of the seven angels, who had the vials full of the seven last plagues, and spoke with me, saying: Come, and I will shew thee 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 took me up in spirit to a great and high mountain: and he shewed me the holy city 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;
11Having the glory of God, and the light thereof was like to a precious stone, as to the jasper stone, even 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:
12And it had a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and in the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
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.
13On the east, three gates: and on the north, three gates: and on the south, three gates: and on the west, three gates.
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.
14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them, the twelve 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.
15And he that spoke with me, had a measure of a reed of gold, to measure the city and the gates thereof, and the wall.
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.
16And the city lieth in a foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the golden reed for twelve thousand furlongs, and the length and the height and the breadth thereof are equal.
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 the wall thereof an hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is of an angel.
18Pea naʻe langa ʻaki ʻa hono ʻā ʻae sasipa: pea ko e kolo ko e koula haohaoa, ʻo hangē ha sioʻata ʻāsinisini.
18And the building of the wall thereof was of jasper stone: but the city itself pure gold, like to clear 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;
19And 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, a chalcedony: the fourth, an 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, sardius: the seventh, chrysolite: the eighth, beryl: the ninth, a topaz: the tenth, a chrysoprasus: the eleventh, a jacinth: the twelfth, an 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 are twelve pearls, one to each: and every several gate was of one several pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent 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.
22And I saw no temple therein. For the Lord God Almighty is the temple thereof, and the Lamb.
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 hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it. For the glory of God hath enlightened it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof.
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.
24And the nations shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour into it.
25Pea ʻe ʻikai tāpuni ʻa hono ngaahi matapā ʻi he ʻaho; he koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha pō.
25And the gates thereof shall not be shut by day: for there shall be no night there.
26Pea te nau ʻomi ki ai ʻae nāunau mo e fakaʻapaʻapa ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga.
26And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
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.
27There shall not enter into it any thing defiled, or that worketh abomination or maketh a lie, but they that are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
