< Revelation 21 >

1 I saw the new heaven and the new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more.
Kangi nawene kunani kwa Chapanga kwa mupya na mulima wa mupya, ndava kunani kwa Chapanga kwa kutumbula na mulima wula wamali kuwuka, nyanja nayene yavi lepi kavili.
2 And I, John, saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
Nauwene muji wa msopi, Yelusalemu ya mupya wahuluka kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga ngati mdala wa ndowa mweatendelekiwi kupambwa ndava ya kukonganeka na mgwana waki.
3 And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: “Behold the tabernacle of God with men. And he will dwell with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be their God with them.
Kangi nayuwini lwami luvaha kuhuma pachigoda cha unkosi yijova, “Lola! Nyumba ya Chapanga yavi pagati ya vandu, mwene yati itama pagati yavi na yati Chapanga wavi.
4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no more. And neither mourning, nor crying out, nor grief shall be anymore. For the first things have passed away.”
Mwene yati akugahungula maholi gavi goha. Muni lifwa yati livya lepi kavili, amala lipyanda amala luvembu amala mvinisu, muni vindu vyoha vya kadeni vimali kupita.”
5 And the One who was sitting upon the throne, said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And he said to me, “Write, for these words are entirely faithful and true.”
Kangi yula mweatamili pachigoda cha unkosi akajova, “Lola, nikugakita goha gamupya.” Kangi akanijovela, “Yandikayi mambu aga muni malovi aga ndi gakusadikika na gachakaka!”
6 And he said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To those who thirst, I will give freely from the fountain of the water of life.
Ndi akanijovela, “Gatimili! Nene ndi Alfa na Omega, mana yaki Mtumbula na Mmalikisa. Mweavi na njota yati nikumpela manji ga kunywa waka kuhuma muchinyepa cha manji ga wumi changali kulipa.
7 Whoever prevails shall possess these things. And I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Yula mweihotola yati ipokela ago, nene yati nivya Chapanga waki, namwene yati ivya mwana vangu.
8 But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and drug users, and idolaters, and all liars, these shall be a part of the pool burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
Nambu vandu veviyogopa na vangasadika na vahakau na vakomaji na vakemi na vahavi na veviyupa chimong'omong'o, pamonga na vadese voha pandu pavi ndi panyanja yila yeyiyaka motu na maganga ga baluti gegiyaka motu, lenilo ndi lifwa la pili.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
9 And one of the seven Angels, those holding the bowls filled with the seven last afflictions, approached and spoke with me, saying: “Come, and I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
Kangi mmonga wa vala vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga saba vevavili na nkeve saba gegamelili matovilu saba ga mwishu, akahegelela na kunijovela, “Bwela, nikulangisa kamwali wa ndowa, mdala wa Mwanalimbelele.”
10 And he took me up in spirit to a great and high mountain. And he showed me the Holy City Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Mpungu Msopi akanilongosa na mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga, akanitola mbaka pachitumbi chivaha na chitali. Akanilangisa muji wamsopi ndi Yelusalemu wewihelela kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga.
11 having the glory of God. And its light was like that of a precious stone, even like that of the jasper stone or like crystal.
Muji wenuwo wing'asima kwa ukulu wa Chapanga. Lulangasa lwaki lwavi ngati liganga leliguliswa kwa mashonga gamahele lelikemelewa yasipi, leling'asima ngati chilolilo.
12 And it had a wall, great and high, having twelve gates. And at the gates were twelve Angels. And names were written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
Kangi muji wenuwo wavili na luwumba lutali na luvaha, weuvi na milyangu kumi na yivili, kila umonga wavikiwi ulonda na mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga. Panani ya kila mlyangu payandikwi liina limonga la makabila kumi na gavili ga vandu va Isilaeli.
13 On the East were three gates, and on the North were three gates, and on the South were three gates, and on the West were three gates.
Kila upandi kwavili na milyangu yidatu, upandi welihumila lilanga milyangu yidatu na upandi kwelitipama lilanga milyangu yidatu na kusini milyangu yidatu na kwe litipama lilanga milyangu yidatu.
14 And the wall of the City had twelve foundations. And upon them were the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
Luwumba lwa muji wenuwo wajengiwi mkingisa kumi na yivili ya maganga na panani ya mikingisa yeniyo payandikwi liina limonga la mahina kumi na gavili vamitumi kumi na vavili va Mwanalimbelele.
15 And he who was speaking with me was holding a golden measuring reed, in order to measure the City, and its gates and wall.
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga mwealongelayi na nene avili na lidete la kupimila yeyatenganizwi kwa zahabu, ndava ya kupima muji wenuwo mlyangu waki na luwumba lwaki.
16 And the city is laid out as a square, and so its length is as great as the width. And he measured the city with the golden reed for twelve thousand stadia, and its length and height and breadth were equal.
Muji wene wajengiwi kwa pandi mcheche zeziwanangana upana na utali. Hinu mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga apimili muji wula na lidete la kupimila utali na upana na uvaha ndi vyoha vyavili ngati kilomita elufu zivili na miya mchehe.
17 And he measured its wall as one hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is of an Angel.
Kangi mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga apimili ukulupala wa luwumba, wene wavili mita sitini kulandana na chipimu cheahengili.
18 And the structure of its wall was of jasper stone. Yet truly, the city itself was of pure gold, similar to pure glass.
Luwumba ulo lwajengiwi kwa maganga gadung'u ga mashonga gamahele gegikemelewa yasipi, na muji wene wajengiwi kwa zahabu yabwina neju, yeying'asima ngati chilolilo.
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was of jasper, the second was of sapphire, the third was of chalcedony, the fourth was of emerald,
Mkingisa wa luwumba lwa muji wenuwo wanyambiswi kwa maganga ndalindali gegiguliswa mashonga gamahele. Mkingisa wa kutumbula wavi wa liganga lidung'u, na liganga la pili lavi la yakuti samawati na liganga la datu lavi kalikedoni na liganga la mcheche lavi la zumalidi,
20 the fifth was of sardonyx, the sixth was of sardius, the seventh was of chrysolite, the eighth was of beryl, the ninth was of topaz, the tenth was of chrysoprasus, the eleventh was of jacinth, the twelfth was of amethyst.
mkingisa wa mhanu lavi salidoniki na sita akiki na la saba kilisolito na la nane zabalajadi na la tisa topazi na la kumi kilisopalaso na la kumi na yimonga, yasinto na kumi na zivili ametisto.
21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, one for each, so that each gate was made from a single pearl. And the main street of the city was of pure gold, similar to transparent glass.
Milyangu yivaha kumi na zivili yatengenizwi kwa lulu kumi na zivili, kila mlyangu umonga watenganizwi kwa lulu yimonga. Njila yikulu ya muji yatenganizwi kwa zahabu yabwina, yeying'asima ngati chilolilo.
22 And I saw no temple in it. For the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
Mumuji wenuwo nayiwene lepi Nyumba ya Chapanga, muni Bambu witu Chapanga mweavi na makakala na yula Mwanalimbelele ndi Nyumba yaki.
23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine in it. For the glory of God has illuminated it, and the Lamb is its lamp.
Muji wenuwo wigana lepi lumuli lwa lilanga amala mwehi, ndava muni ukulu wa Chapanga ulangasa na Mwanalimbelele ndi hahi yaki.
24 And the nations shall walk by its light. And the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honor into it.
Vandu va milima yoha yati vitama mu lumuli lwaki na vankosi va mulima yoha yati vakuuletela muji wenuwo vindu vyavi vyamahele.
25 And its gates shall not be closed throughout the day, for there shall be no night in that place.
Milyangu yivaha katu yati yidindwa lepi muhi woha, muni yati kwivya lepi kilu mwenumo.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
Vandu va pamulima yati vakuuletela utopesa na ukulu muji wenuwo.
27 There shall not enter into it anything defiled, nor anything causing an abomination, nor anything false, but only those who have been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.
Nambu chindu chochoha chihakau katu yati chiyingila lepi mwenumo, amala mundu yoyoha mweikita mambu ga soni amala udese. Nambu vala ndu mahina gavi gegayandikwi muchitabu cha wumi cha Mwanalimbelele.
