Lokphong 21
1 To pacoengah van kangtha hoi long kangtha to ka hnuk: hmaloe ih van hoi hmaloe ih long loe anghmat boeh; tuipui doeh om ai boeh.
I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.
2 To pacoengah sava sah nongpata mah a sava hanah amthoep het baktih toengah kamthoep van hoiah angzo tathuk, Sithaw khae ih kaciim vangpui, Jerusalem kangtha to kai, Johan mah ka hnuk.
I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Khenah van hoiah, Sithaw ohhaih im loe kaminawk khaeah oh boeh, Anih loe nihcae hoi nawnto om tih boeh, nihcae loe Anih ih kami ah om o tih, Sithaw Angmah roe nihcae hoi nawnto om ueloe, nihcae ih Sithaw ah om tih.
I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look, the tabernacle of God is with humans, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
4 Sithaw mah nihcae ih mikkhraetui to huu pae ueloe, duekhaih, palungsethaih, qahhaih hoi nathaih roe om mak ai boeh: kangquem hmuennawk loe laemh o boih boeh, tiah tha hoi hang ih lok to ka thaih.
And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, nor will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the first things have passed away."
5 Angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnu kami mah, Khenah, hmuennawk boih kangtha ah ka sak pan boeh, tiah thuih. Anih mah kai khaeah, Tarik ah: hae loknawk loe oepthoh moe, loktang ah oh, tiah ang naa.
He who sits on the throne said, "Look, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."
6 Anih mah kai khaeah, Pacoeng boeh! Kai loe Alpha hoi Omega, amtonghaih hoi boenghaih ah ka oh. Tui anghae kami loe hinghaih tuipuek to azom ah ka paek han.
He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.
7 Pazawk kami mah hmuennawk to toep boih tih; kai loe anih ih Sithaw ah ka oh han, anih loe ka caa ah om tih.
He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.
8 Toe zithaih tawn kaminawk, tang ai kaminawk, panuet thok kaminawk, kami humnawk, tangzat zaw kami hoi zaehaih sah kaminawk, miklet patoh kaminawk, krang bok kaminawk hoi lok amlai kaminawk loe kaat hoi kangqong hmai tuili thungah va tih: hae loe vai hnetto duekhaih ah oh, tiah ang naa. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, full of the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."
10 Anih mah kalen parai hoi kasang parai mae ah Muithla hoiah ang caeh haih, van hoiah angzo tathuk, Sithaw khae ih kalen parai vangpui, kaciim Jerusalem to ang patuek,
He carried me away in the Ruach to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 to vangpui loe Sithaw lensawkhaih hoiah koi: Anih aanghaih loe jasper, tiah thuih ih atho kana thlung baktiah oh moe, crystal thlung baktiah amdueng;
having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it was a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 to vangpui loe kalen moe, kasang parai tapang to oh, khongkha doeh hatlai hnetto oh, khongkha kruekah vankami hatlai hnetto oh, khongkha kruekah Israel caanawk ih acaeng hatlai hnetto ahmin to angrik:
having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
13 ni angzae bangah khongkha thumto; aluek bangah khongkha thumto; aloih bangah khongkha thumto; niduem bangah khongkha thumto oh.
On the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 Vangpui tapang loe thlung hatlai hnetto nuiah sak o, to thlung pongah loe Tuucaa angmah patoeh ih kami hatlai hnetto ahmin to oh.
The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve emissaries of the Lamb.
15 Kai hoi lok kapae vankami loe vangpui, khongkhanawk hoi tapangnawk tah hanah, sui hoiah sak ih cung maeto to a sinh.
He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
16 Vangpui loe takii palito oh, kasawk hoi kakawk loe anghmong: anih mah tahhaih cung hoiah vangpui to tah naah, furlong sangto pacoeng, cumvai hnetto oh. Kasawk, kakawk hoi kasang loe angvan boih.
The city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, one thousand three hundred eighty miles. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.
17 To pacoengah vankami mah vangpui tapang to tah naah, kami maeto ih tahhaih baktiah, vankami ih dong cumvai, qui pali, palito oh.
Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by human measurement, that is, of an angel.
18 To ih tapang loe jasper, tiah thuih ih atho kana thlung hoiah sak: vangpui loe kaciim sui hoiah sak moe, hmaidan baktiah caipin.
The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.
19 Vangpui tapang imcih loe atho kana congca thlung hoiah pathoep o: hmaloe koek imcih thlung loe jasper, hnetto haih loe saphhire, thumto haih loe chalcedony, palito haih loe emerald,
The foundations of the city's wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
20 Pangato haih loe sardonyx, tarukto haih loe cardius, sarihto haih loe chrysolite, tazetto haih loe beryl, takawtto haih loe topaz, hato haih loe chrysoprasus, hatlaito haih loe jacinth, hatlai hnetto haih loe amethyst hoiah sak.
the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.
21 Pale maeto hoiah khongkha maeto sak o, khongkha hatlai hnetto doeh pale hoiah sak boih: vangpui thung ih loklam loe kaciim sui hoiah sak moe, hmaidan baktiah amdueng.
The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 Vangpui thungah tempul ka hnu ai: Thacak Angraeng Sithaw hoi Tuucaa loe tempul ah oh boeh.
I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 To vangpui loe ni aeng hoi khrah kamdueng aloe ai boeh: Sithaw lensawkhaih mah aanghaih to paek moe, Tuucaa loe vangpui aanghaih ah oh.
The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
24 Pahlong ah kaom prae kaminawk loe to aanghaih thungah caeh o tih: long siangpahrangnawk mah angmacae lensawkhaih to sin o ueloe, pakoehhaih to paek o tih.
The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring their splendor into it.
25 Athun qui khongkha to khaa mak ai: khoving doeh om mak ai.
Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
26 Prae kaminawk mah, lensawkhaih hoi pakoehhaih to vangpui thungah akun o haih tih.
and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.
27 Ciimcai ai hmuennawk maw, to tih ai boeh loe panuet thok hmuen kaomsak kaminawk hoi amsawnlok thui kami loe a thungah akun o mak ai: Tuucaa hinghaih Cabu thungah ahmin tarik ih kaminawk khue ni akun o tih.
There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
