1 Alimwi mungelo wakanditondezya mulonga wamanzi abuumi, abalangala mbuli klusti. Akali kweenda kuzwa kuchuno chaLeza achaMwana ambelele
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, clear as crystal. It was flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

through the middle of the city's street. On each side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, and it bears its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
3 Takuyoba limbi lutuko. Chuuno chaLeza achaMwana mbelele chiyoba muchisi, aboobo babelesi bakwe bayomubelekela.
There will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
4 Bayoobona busyu bwakwe, aboobo izina lyakwe liyooba ankumu zyabo.
They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
5 Takuyoba limbi mansiku tabachiyoyandi mumuni walampi nikuba wazuba nkaambo Mwami Leza uuyobamunikila. Bayoyendelezya lyoonse alyonse. (aiōn g165)
There will be no more night; they will have no need for the light of a lamp or sunlight because the Lord God will shine on them. They will reign forever and ever. (aiōn g165)
6 Mungelo wakandambila kuti, “Aya majwi ngalusyomo akasimpe. Mwami, Leza wamyuuya yabasinsimi, watuma mungelo wakwe kuti atondezye babelesi bakwe azezyo zitachitike lino.”
The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants what must happen soon.”
7 “Langa! Ndila boola lino! Ulilongezedwe oyo usyoma majwi abusinsimi bwamubbuku eli.”
“Look! I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who obeys the words of the prophecy of this book.”

I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing me these things.
9 Wakandambila kuti, “Utachiti obo! Andime ndimubelesi nyokwe, mwana wabanakwanu waba sinsimi, ababo basyoma majwiamubbuku eli. Kkomba Leza!”
He said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you, with your brothers the prophets, and with those who obey the words of this book. Worship God!”
10 Alimwi wakandambila kuti, “Utanamatiki majwi abusinsimi abbuku eli, nkaambo nchiindi chili afwifwi.
He said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.
11 Oyo utaluleme, muleke kachiya buchita zitaluleme. Oyo uchilisimatombe muleke kachiyabuchitisya bululam. Oyo usalala muleke kachiyabuchitisya busalali.”
The one who is unrighteous, let him continue to do unrighteousness. The one who is morally filthy, let him continue to be morally filthy. The one who is righteous, let him continue to do what is righteous. The one who is holy, let him continue to be holy.”
12 “Langa! Ndila boola lino. Bulumbu bwangu buli andime, bwakulumbula awumwi kumilimo yakwe.

Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 Ime, nde Jesu, ndakatuma mungelo kuti amulungunwide makani aya muzikombelo. Ndime muyanda walunyungu lwa Davida, intanda imwekesya yakubuchedo.”
I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
17 Muuya anabwinga bati, “Boola!” Muleke oyo umvwa awambe kuti, “Boola!” Oyo woonse uli anyota, mumuleke awangunuke kunwa manzi abuumi.
The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!” Let the one who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come, and whoever desires it, let him freely have the water of life.
18 Ndalungulula kuli woonse oyo umvwa majwi abusinsimi bwabbuku eli: Na umwi wayungizya kuli ngawo, Leza ulamuyungizizya zipenzyo ezyo zilembedwe atala aleli bbuku.
I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written about in this book.
19 Na umwi wagwisya kuzwa mumajwi abbuku lyabusinsimi, Leza uyoomugwisisya lukono lwakwe kumusamu wabuumi amuchiisi chisalala ezyo zilembedwe atala abbuku eli.
If anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are written about in this book.

The one who testifies to these things says, “Yes! I am coming soon.” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
21 Luzyalo lwaMwami Jesu lube anywe moonse. Ameni.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with everyone. Amen.
