13  I taua ra ka tuwhera he puna mo te whare o Rawiri, mo nga tangata ano o Hiruharama, hei mea mo te hara, mo te poke.

I taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka hatepea atu e ahau nga ingoa o nga whakapakoko i runga i te whenua; e kore ano e maharatia a muri ake nei; ka kore ano i ahau nga poropiti, me te wairua poke, i runga i te whenua.

Na, tenei ake, ki te poropiti tetahi a muri ake nei, ka mea tona papa ki a ia, raua ko tona whaea i whanau ai ia, E kore koe e ora; kua korero teka hoki koe i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa: na ka werohia ia e tona papa raua ko tona whaea i whanau ai i a, ina poropiti ia.

I taua ra ka whakama nga poropiti, tenei, tenei, ki tana kite, i te mea ka poropiti ia; e kore ano e kakahuria e ratou he kakahu huruhuru hei mea tinihanga.

Engari ka mea ia, Ehara ahau i te poropiti, he paruauru ahau, he pononga hoki ahau no toku taitamarikitanga ake.

A ka mea tetahi ki a ia, He aha enei patunga i ou ringa? a ka mea ia, Ko oku patunga i roto i te whare o oku hoa aroha.

E ara, e te hoari, ki taku hepara, ki te tangata i takahoatia ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano; patua te hepara, kia marara hoki nga hipi; ka tahuri atu ano toku ringa ki nga mea ririki.

Na i te whenua katoa, e ai ta Ihowa, e rua nga wahi o reira ka hatepea atu, ka mate; ka toe ia te tuatoru o nga wahi ki reira.

Ka kawea ano e ahau te tuatoru o nga wahi i roto i te ahi, ka tahia hoki te para, ka peratia me te hiriwa e tahia ana, ka whakamatautauria ano ratou e ahau, ka peratia me te koura; ka karanga ratou ki toku ingoa, a ka whakarongo ahau ki a ratou: ka mea ahau, He iwi ratou naku; a ka mea ratou, Ko Ihowa toku Atua.

14  Nana, kei te haere mai te ra o Ihowa, a ka wehewehea ou taonga parakete i roto i a koe.

Na ka huihuia e ahau nga iwi katoa ki te tatau ki Hiruharama, a ka horo te pa, ka pahuatia nga whare, ka moea nga wahine; a ko tetahi hawhe o te pa ka riro hei whakarau, e kore ano ia te toenga o te iwi e hatepea atu i roto i te pa.

Katahi a Ihowa ka haere atu, ka whawhai ki aua iwi, ka rite ki te ra i whawhai ai ia i te ra o te tatauranga.

Na ka tu ona waewae i taua ra ki runga ki Maunga Oriwa, ki tera i te ritenga atu o Hiruharama ki te rawhiti, a ka pakaru a Maunga Oriwa i waenganui ona ki te rawhiti; ki te hauauru, nui atu te awaawa, a ka neke atu tetahi hawhe o te maunga ki te raki, tetahi hawhe ona ki te tonga.

A ka oma atu koutou ki te awaawa i oku maunga; no te mea ka tutuki atu te takiwa o nga maunga ki Atara: na, ko ta koutou oma ka rite ki to koutou omanga atu i te ru i nga ra o Utia kingi o Hura: tera ano a Ihowa, toku Atua, e haere mai, ko te hun ga tapu katoa hei hoa mou.

Na i taua ra e kore te marama e purotu, e kore ano e pouri.

Erangi kotahi tonu taua ra, he mea e mohiotia ana e Ihowa, ehara i te ra, ehara i te po; na i nga wa o te ahiahi ka marama.

Na i taua ra ka puta he wai ora i Hiruharama, ko tetahi hawhe ki te moana i te rawhiti, ko tetahi hawhe ki te moana i te uru: i te raumati taua hanga, i te hotoke ano.

A ko Ihowa hei kingi mo te whenua katoa: i taua ra he kotahi a Ihowa, he kotahi ano tona ingoa.

10 A hei mania katoa te whenua a taka noa, i Kepa tae noa ki Rimona, ki te tonga o Hiruharama; a ka neke ake taua pa, ka noho ki tona wahi ano, ki te kuwaha o Pineamine tae noa ki te wahi i te kuwaha tuatahi, ki te kuwaha i te koki, ki te pourewa o Hananeere tae noa ki nga poka waina a te kingi.

11 Ka nohoia ano a reira, a heoi ano whakangaromanga; a ka noho a Hiruharama i runga i te rangimarie.

12 Ko te whiu ano tenei e whiua ai e Ihowa nga iwi katoa i whawhai nei ki Hiruharama; ka pirau o ratou kikokiko i te mea e tu ana o ratou waewae, ka pirau o ratou kanohi i roto i nga pae, ka pirau ano o ratou arero i roto i o ratou mangai.

13 I taua ra he nui ta Ihowa whakaoho i roto i a ratou; a ka hopu ratou i te ringa o tona hoa, o tona hoa, ka ara ake ano o ratou ringa ki te ringa o tona hoa, o tona hoa.

14 Tera ano a Hura ka whawhai ki Hiruharama; a ka huihuia nga rawa o nga iwi katoa a taka noa, te koura, te hiriwa, nga kakahu, nui atu.

15 A ka pera ano te mate o te hoiho, o te muera, o te kamera, o te kaihe, o nga kararehe katoa i roto i enei puni me tenei whiu.

16 Tenei ake, na, ko nga morehu katoa o nga iwi katoa i haere mai ki te whawhai ki Hiruharama, ka haere mai i ia tau, i ia tau, ki te koropiko ki te Kingi, ki a Ihowa o nga mano, ki te whakarite hoki i te hakari whare wharau.

17 Na, ko te tangata o nga hapu o te whenua ka kore e haere mai ki Hiruharama ki te koropiko ki te Kingi, ki a Ihowa o nga mano, kahore he ua mo ratou.

18 A ki te kahore te hapu o Ihipa e haere mai, e tae mai, te hunga kahore nei he ua mo ratou, ka pa ano te whiu e whiua ai e Ihowa nga iwi kahore nei e haere mai ki te whakarite i te hakari whare wharau.

19 Ko te utu hara tenei mo Ihipa, ko te utu hara ano mo nga iwi katoa e kore e haere mai ki te whakarite i te hakari whare wharau.

20 I taua ra ka piri ki nga pere o nga hoiho, HE TAPU KI A IHOWA; ka rite hoki nga kohua i roto i te whare o Ihowa ki nga peihana i mua i te aata.

21 Ina, ko nga kohua katoa i Hiruharama, i a Hura, he tapu ki a Ihowa o nga mano, a ka haere mai te hunga katoa e patu whakahere ana, ka tango i etahi hei kohua ma ratou: kahore hoki he Kanaani a muri ake nei i roto i te whare o Ihowa o nga mano i taua ra.

Cleansing From Sin

13 “On that day a fountain(A) will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse(B) them from sin and impurity.

“On that day, I will banish the names of the idols(C) from the land, and they will be remembered no more,”(D) declares the Lord Almighty. “I will remove both the prophets(E) and the spirit of impurity from the land. And if anyone still prophesies, their father and mother, to whom they were born, will say to them, ‘You must die, because you have told lies(F) in the Lord’s name.’ Then their own parents will stab the one who prophesies.(G)

“On that day every prophet will be ashamed(H) of their prophetic vision. They will not put on a prophet’s garment(I) of hair(J) in order to deceive.(K) Each will say, ‘I am not a prophet. I am a farmer; the land has been my livelihood since my youth.[a](L) If someone asks, ‘What are these wounds on your body[b]?’ they will answer, ‘The wounds I was given at the house of my friends.’

The Shepherd Struck, the Sheep Scattered

“Awake, sword,(M) against my shepherd,(N)
    against the man who is close to me!”
    declares the Lord Almighty.
“Strike the shepherd,
    and the sheep will be scattered,(O)
    and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
In the whole land,” declares the Lord,
    “two-thirds will be struck down and perish;
    yet one-third will be left in it.(P)
This third I will put into the fire;(Q)
    I will refine them like silver(R)
    and test them like gold.(S)
They will call(T) on my name(U)
    and I will answer(V) them;
I will say, ‘They are my people,’(W)
    and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.(X)’”

The Lord Comes and Reigns

14 A day of the Lord(Y) is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions(Z) will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.

I will gather all the nations(AA) to Jerusalem to fight against it;(AB) the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped.(AC) Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.(AD) Then the Lord will go out and fight(AE) against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.(AF) On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,(AG) east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split(AH) in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake[c](AI) in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come,(AJ) and all the holy ones with him.(AK)

On that day there will be neither sunlight(AL) nor cold, frosty darkness. It will be a unique(AM) day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night.(AN) When evening comes, there will be light.(AO)

On that day living water(AP) will flow(AQ) out from Jerusalem, half of it east(AR) to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.(AS)

The Lord will be king(AT) over the whole earth.(AU) On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.(AV)

10 The whole land, from Geba(AW) to Rimmon,(AX) south of Jerusalem, will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up(AY) high from the Benjamin Gate(AZ) to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate,(BA) and from the Tower of Hananel(BB) to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place.(BC) 11 It will be inhabited;(BD) never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.(BE)

12 This is the plague with which the Lord will strike(BF) all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.(BG) 13 On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic.(BH) They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.(BI) 14 Judah(BJ) too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected(BK)—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague(BL) will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.

16 Then the survivors(BM) from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship(BN) the King,(BO) the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(BP) 17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship(BQ) the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.(BR) 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord[d] will bring on them the plague(BS) he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(BT) 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(BU)

20 On that day holy to the Lord(BV) will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots(BW) in the Lord’s house will be like the sacred bowls(BX) in front of the altar. 21 Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy(BY) to the Lord Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day(BZ) there will no longer be a Canaanite[e](CA) in the house(CB) of the Lord Almighty.(CC)

21  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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 E kore hoki ona tatau e tutakina i te awatea; kore ake hoki o reira po:

26 A e kawea mai hoki te kororia me te honore o nga tauiwi ki reira:

27 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.

A New Heaven and a New Earth

21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a](A) for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,(B) and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City,(C) the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,(D) prepared as a bride(E) beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them.(F) They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.(G) ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes.(H) There will be no more death’[b](I) or mourning or crying or pain,(J) for the old order of things has passed away.”(K)

He who was seated on the throne(L) said, “I am making everything new!”(M) Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”(N)

He said to me: “It is done.(O) I am the Alpha and the Omega,(P) the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost(Q) from the spring of the water of life.(R) Those who are victorious(S) will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.(T) But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars(U)—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur.(V) This is the second death.”(W)

The New Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues(X) came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride,(Y) the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away(Z) in the Spirit(AA) to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.(AB) 11 It shone with the glory of God,(AC) and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper,(AD) clear as crystal.(AE) 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates,(AF) and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.(AG) 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations,(AH) and on them were the names of the twelve apostles(AI) of the Lamb.

15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod(AJ) of gold to measure the city, its gates(AK) and its walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia[c] in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17 The angel measured the wall using human(AL) measurement, and it was 144 cubits[d] thick.[e] 18 The wall was made of jasper,(AM) and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.(AN) 19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone.(AO) The first foundation was jasper,(AP) the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby,(AQ) the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.[f] 21 The twelve gates(AR) were twelve pearls,(AS) each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.(AT)

22 I did not see a temple(AU) in the city, because the Lord God Almighty(AV) and the Lamb(AW) are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God(AX) gives it light,(AY) and the Lamb(AZ) is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.(BA) 25 On no day will its gates(BB) ever be shut,(BC) for there will be no night there.(BD) 26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.(BE) 27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful,(BF) but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.(BG)
