Di River and di Tree of Life
One river dey flow for the city street with the tree of life for both side, and the leaf dem dey heal the nations. Im servants go finally see our Papa face. Three times Jesus talk say E dey come quick; the Spirit and the Bride answer, Come — and anybody wey thirst fit drink free.
22 1Den di angel show me di river of water wey dey give life, wey dey shine like crystal, wey dey flow comot from di throne of our Papa and of Jesus, di Lamb, 2for di middle of di city street. For each side of di river, di tree of life dey grow, wey dey bear twelve kind fruit, wey dey give im fruit every month; and di leaf of di tree na for di healing of di nations. 3No curse go remain again. Di throne of our Papa and of Jesus, di Lamb, go dey inside di city, and im servants go worship am. 4Dem go see im face, and im name go dey for dem forehead. 5Night no go dey again. Dem no need lamp or sunlight, because our Papa dey give dem light, and dem go reign forever and ever.
6Den di angel tell me, “Dis words na faithful and true. Our Papa, wey dey inspire im prophets, don send im angel come show im servants di things wey must happen soon.”
7“See, I dey come soon! Blessing dey for whoever dey keep di words of di prophecy wey dey dis book.”
I Dey Come Soon
8Me, John, hear and see dis things. As I hear and see dem, I fall down for di feet of di angel wey show me dem, so I go worship am. 9But e tell me, “No do am! I be servant wit you, wit your brothers di prophets, and wit dem wey dey keep di words of dis book. Worship our Papa!” 10E tell me, “No seal di words of di prophecy wey dey dis book—di time don near. 11Make di person wey dey do bad continue to dey do bad; make di dirty one continue to dey dirty; make di person wey get correct-and-holy way continue to dey do wetin correct; make di holy one continue to dey holy.”
12“See, I dey come soon, my reward dey wit me, to pay each person back for wetin dem don do.
13“I be di Alpha and di Omega, di First and di Last, di Beginning and di End.” 14Blessing dey for dem wey wash dem robe, so dem go get di right to di tree of life and to enta through di gates of di city. 15For outside na dogs, dem wey dey do juju, dem wey dey do sexual immorality, dem wey dey kill person, dem wey dey worship idol, and everybody wey love and dey do lie. 16“Me, Jesus, don send my angel come testify dis things to una for di churches. I be David im Root and im Offspring, di bright Morning Star.”
17Di Holy Spirit and di Bride talk say, “Come!” Whoever hear, make e talk say, “Come!” Whoever dey thirsty, make e come; whoever want am, make e take di water of life free.
18I dey testify give everybody wey hear di words of prophecy wey dey dis book: if anybody add anything to dem, our Papa go add to dat person di plagues wey dem write for here. 19If anybody take anything comot from di words of dis prophecy book, our Papa go take im own share comot from di tree of life and from di holy city wey dem talk about for here. a a v19 Copies wey dem write later carry “di book of life” for here; but di earliest ones carry “di tree of life.”
20Di one wey dey testify dis things talk say, “Yes, I dey come soon.” Amen. Come, Oga Jesus! b b v20 Di Bible close wit di Church im deep cry as dem dey long for Jesus to come back. Our Papa im whole story — from Eden wey dem lose reach di city wey e restore — find im last word for di prayer of dem wey know say di Pikin go come.
21Make di grace of Oga Jesus dey wit everybody. Amen.
