Revelation 21
1 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.
Mpawo ndakabona ijulu pya enyika mpya, nkambo ijulu lyakutanguna anyika yakusanguna zyakali zyfwa, alwizi telwakachiliwo.
2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
Ndakabona dolopo usalede iJelusalema impya, ilyakeza aansi kuzwa kujulu kuli Leza kalibambidwe mbuli mwinga mbabambila mulumi wakwe.
3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people; and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
Ndakamvwa ijwi pati lizwa kuchuno chabulemu kaliti, “Boona! ibusena bwachikkalilo cha Leza buli mubantu, alimwi uyokkala ambabo. Byaoba bantu bakwe alimwi Leza lwakwe uyoba ambaabo alimwi uyoba Leza wabo.
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more. The first things have passed away.”
Uyosiinda misozi yonseni kumenso aabo, alimwi takuchikabi lufu, kana kuusa, kana kulila, naba machise. Izintu zyechiindi zyamana.
5 He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.”
Ooyo iwakakkede achuno chabwami wakati, “Boona! Ndichita zintu zyonse kuti zibe zipya.” Wakati, “Lemba zintu eezi aansi nkambo aaya majwi alasyomeka alimwimi ngakasimpe.”
6 He said to me, “I am the Alef and the Tav, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.
Wakandaambila kuti eezi zintu zyayinda! Ndendime Alufa a Omega, imatalikilo amagozezyo. Kuli ooyo uumvwa nyota, ndinomupa chakunywa kakutakwe muulo kuzwa kukasensa kamaanzi abuumi.
7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.
Ooyo uzunda uyokkona zintu eezi, alimwi ndiyoba Leza wakwe, alimwi uyoba mwana wangu.
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls which were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”
Umwi wangilozi izili musanu azibili, wakeza kuli ndime, oyo wakajisi insoosa zili musanu azibili izyakajisi michelo yamelelezyo ilimusanu azibili, alimwi wakati, “Kweza okuno! ndilakutondezya bwiinga, imukayintu wa Mwana wa Mbelele.
10 He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
Mpawo wakandibweza mumuunda wanditola kuchilundu ichipati chilamfu akuyonditondezya dolopo usalala Jelusalemu kaliza aansi kuzwa kujulu kuli Leza.
11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
Jelusalemu yali abulemu bwa Leza, alimwi ibwebeesi bwayo bwali mbuli inchooko mbotu loko, mbuli ibbwe lyachimpanzi cha jasipa injoloma.
12 having a great and high wall with 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.
Yali abupati, ibulambo bulamfu buli amilyango ili kkumi ayibili, kakuli zyooko zili kkumi azibili kumilyango. Amilyango kwakali lembedwe imazina alikkumi aabili aamisyobo yabana ba Izilayeli.
13 On the east were three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
Kubuzwezuba kwakali milyango yotatwe, kumbo kwakali milyango yotatwe, kunsi kwakali milyango itaatu alimwi, akububbila kwakali milyango yotatwe.
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Emissaries of the Lamb.
Ibulambo bwalubaya bwadolopo bwakali antalisyo zili kkumi azibili, alimwi antalisyo kwakali mazina aali kkumi aabili abasikwiiya ba Mwana wa Mbelele.
15 He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.
Ooyo wakaambuula andime wakajisi mweelo wakabulo kangolida wakweela idolopo, amilyango yalyo, abulambo bwalyo.
16 The city is square. Its length is as great as its width. He measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand and twelve stadia. Its length, width, and height are equal.
Idolopo lyakali tendebete bwelene mabbazu woonse, bulamfu bwalyo bwakalelene abwiinge bwalyo. Wakeela idolopo amweelo wakabulo, izyuulu ikkumi azibili zya sitadiya kumweelo wabulamfu ( bulamfu bwalyo, bwanda, abwiime mujulu zyakalelelene).
17 Its wall is one hundred and forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
Wakeela alimwi ibwanda bwawo, wajana kuti buli azikokola zili mwanda amakumi aane azine, mbuli mumwelo wabuntu (kakuli alubo ngumweelo wendangilo).
18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.
Bulambo bwakayakidwe ajasipa alimwimidolopo lyakayakidwe aangolide lwayolwayo, mbuli bunjoloma bbalabala.
19 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,
Intalisyo zyabulambo zyakali bambikene abubotu bwamisyobo yoonse yamabwe mebeesi. Itaanzi yakali jasipa, lyabili lyakali safile, lyatatu lyakali ageti, lyaane lyakali emaludi. Lyasanu lyakali Onikisi,
20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
lyamusanu alimwi lyakali koneliyeni, lyamusanu aabili lyakali kilayisolayiti, lyamusanu aane lyakali tofazi, alyekkumi lyakali kilayisofelusi, lyakkumi alimwi lyakali jasiniti, alyakkumi aabili lyakali ametiyisiti
21 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.
Milyango ilikumi ayibili yakali ma piyeluzi aali kkumi aabili umwi awumwi mulyango wakabambidwe apiyeluzi yomwe. Migwagwa yedolopo yakali ngolida lwayo lwayo, mbuli bbalabal libalangala.
22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
Tendakabona chikombelo pe mudolopo, nkambo i Mwami Leza mupati kampatila a Mwana wa Mbelele mbabo chikombelo chedolopo.
23 The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb.
Idolopo telyakali kuyanda kumunikwa aazuba kana mweezi pe nkambo busalali bwakali kumweka aalindilyo, alimwi itunga mulilo lyayo ngu Mwana waMbelele.
24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
Imanyika anoyoyenda amumuni wadolopo eelyo. Ibaami baansi bayoyeta bulemu bwabo muli ndilyo.
25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
Milyango yalyo tayikoyojalwa pe chiindi chesikati, alimwi takukoyooba mansiku pe ooko.
26 and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it so that they may enter.
Bayoyeta ibulumbu abulemu bwamanyika muli ndilyo.
27 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.
Pesi takwe chisofweede pe chiyofwa chanjila muli ndilyo, nikuba umwi muntu uuchita chamasunko nakuti chakweneena, pesi aabo biyo bali amazina aalembedwe mubbuku lya Buumi lya Mamwana wa Mbelele.
