Okuswelulwa 21
1 Okumala nindola lwile luyaya ne chalo chiyaya, kulwo kubha olwile lwo kwamba ne chalo cho kwamba ebhyo bhyalabhilio, inyanja itabheyeo lindi.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and the sea no longer existed.
2 Ningulola omusi omwelu, Iyelusalemu nyaya, gunu gwekile okusoka mulwile kwa Nyamuanga, gunu guchuma chumile lwo mwenga unu ananikilwe kwo okulubhana no mulume waye.
I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, prepared like a bride made beautiful for her husband.
3 Ninungwa obhulaka bhunene okusoka ku chitebhe cho bhutungi niyaika ati, “Lola! Obhwikalo bhwa Nyamuanga bhuli amwi na bhana munu, no mwene kalama amwi nabho. Abhabha bhanu bhaye, no mwene Nyamuanga omwene kabha amwi nabho na kabha Nyamuanga webhwe.
I heard a loud voice from the throne say, “Now God's home is with human beings and he will live with them. They will be his people. God himself will be with them as their God.
4 Alyeya amasiga mumeso gebhwe, na lutalibhao lufu lindi, amwi Mamu, amwi kulola, amwi bhwasibhwa. Amasango ga kala ago galabhilileo.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will never happen again. There will be no mourning or crying or pain ever again for the former world no longer exists.”
5 Omwene unu aliga enyanjile ku chitebhe cho bhutungi aikile ati, “Lola! Enikola gona kubha mayaya.” Aikile ati, “Yandika linu kunsonga emisango jinu nijo okwiikanyibhwa ne chimali.”
The one who sits on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” He told me, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
6 Nambwila ati, emisango jinu jalabhileo! Anye nanye Alufa na Omega, obhwambilo no bhutelo. Wona wona unu alitwa obhwilo ndimuyana echo kunywa mafune uli okusoka kwi jibha lya maji go bhuanga.
Then he said to me, “Everything's done! I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. To anyone who is thirsty I will give the free gift of water from the spring of the water of life.
7 Oyo kaiga alilya omwandu bhinu, enibha Nyamuanga waye, no mwene kabha mwana wani.
Those who are victorious will inherit all these things, and I will be their God and they shall be my children.
8 Mbe nawe kutyo jili ku bhobha, bhanyatekilisha, bhanu abhafululusha, abheti, abhalomesi, abhalosi, bhanu abhalamya ebhisusano, na abhalimi bhona, libhala lyebhwe lilibha mu nyanja yo mulilo gwe chibhiliti gunu ogulungusha. Olwo nilwo olufu lwa kabhili.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
But anyone who is a coward, who doesn't trust me, who does disgusting things, who is a murderer, who is sexually immoral, who practices witchcraft, who worships idols, who tells lies—their chosen place is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
9 Oumwi wa bhamalaika musanju nanyijako, oumwi unu aliga ane bhibhiga musanju bhinu bhyaliga bhijuye amabhumo musanju ago bhutelo mbe naika ati, “I'ja anu. Enijo kukwelesha omwenga omugasi wo mwana wa Inama.”
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and spoke to me. He told me, “Come with me. I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.”
10 Okumala nangegela mu Mwoyo kula kwingabha enene ne lela nanyelesha omusi omwelu, Yelusalemu, nigwika okusoka mu lwile ku Nyamuanga.
He took me in the Spirit to the top of a very high mountain. There he showed me the holy city Jerusalem descending from God out of heaven,
11 Yerusalemu yaliga Ina likusho lya Nyamuanga, no bhukonde bhwagwo gwaliga kuti chinu cha bhugusi bhunene, kuti ebhui lya lilole elye kisi elya yasipi.
shining with the glory of God's presence. The light sparkled like that from a gemstone, a jasper, clear and bright.
12 Gwaliga guli na indugu Nene, ndela ili na milyango ekumi ne bhili, amwi na bhamalaika ekumi na bhabhili mu milyango. Na ingulu ye milyango galiga gandikilweko amasina ga jinganda ekumi ne bhili ga bhana bha Israeli.
The city wall was high and thick, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. On the gates were inscribed the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.
13 Libhala lye bhutuluka jaliga jilio milyango esatu, libhala lya malimbe milyango esatu, libhala lyo bhuanga milyango esatu, na mulubhala lwe bhugwa milyango esatu.
There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.
14 Jindugu jo musi jaliga jili na jinfuka ekumi ne bhili, na ingulu yajo galiga galiko amasina ekumi na gabhili aga jintumwa ekumi ne bhili ejo mwana wa inama.
The city wall had twelve foundations, and inscribed on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Oumwi unu aikile nanye aliga ali na insimbo eyo kulengela inu yaliga ikonjelwe kwa ijaabhu kulwa insonga yo kulengela omusi, ku milyango Jaye na ku ndugu jaye.
The angel who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
16 Omusi gwaliga guteywemo mu kwinganilila; obhulela bhwagwo bhwaliga bhwinganilye no bhugali bhwagwo. Agulengele omusi kwe bhilengelo ebhyo ebhya insimbo, kuti medeli 12,000 kwo bhulaka (obhulela bhwagwo, obhugali, ne chilengelo bhyenganiliye-la).
The city was square. The length was the same as the width. He measured the city with the rod, it was 12,000 furlongs. The length, width, and height were all the same.
17 Nkwo kutyo alengele indugu yagwo obhunene bhwagwo bhwaliga jilaa 144 kwe bhilengelo bhyo mwanamunu bhyemwe one ni bhilengelo bhya Malaika).
He measured the wall and it was 144 cubits thick in human measurements that the angel was using.
18 Indugu yaliga yumbakilwe kwa iyasipi ya maji ga ijaabhu ye kisi, kuti elole lya kisi.
The wall was built out of jasper. The city was made of pure gold that looked like glass.
19 Olufuka lwa indugu one lwaliga lunanikilwe na bhuli nyami ya libhui lyo Bhugusi bhunene. Ogwo kwamba gwaliga gwa yasipi, ogwa kabhili gwaliga gwa yakuti samawi, ogwa kasatu gwaliga gwa kalkedon, ogwa kana zumaridi,
The foundations of the city wall were decorated with all kinds of gemstones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
20 ogwa katanu saldoniki, ogwa mukaga akiki, ogwa musanju krisolitho, ogwa munana zabhalajadi, ogwa mwenda yakuti ya manjano ogwe kumi krisopraso, ogwe kumi na gumwi hiakintho, ogwe kumi na kabhili amethisto.
the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth, chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
21 Emilyango ekumi ne bhili jaliga ja Lulu ekumi ne bhili, bhuli mulyango gwakonjelwe okusoka ku Lulu imwi. Jinguyo jo musi jaliga ja jijaabhu je kisi, nijibhonekana kuti nilole lya kisi.
The twelve gates were made of pearl, each one made from a single pearl. The main street was made of pure gold, clear like glass.
22 Nitalolele iyekalu Yona yona mu musi, kulwo kubha Latabhugenyi Nyamuanga, unu atungile ingulu ya bhyona, no mwana wa Inama niyo iyekalu yaye.
I did not see a temple there, because the Lord God the All-powerful One, and the Lamb, they are its temple.
23 Omusi gwaliga kutakenele esubha amwi kwesi koleleki okumulikila ingulu yaye kunsonga likusho lya Nyamuanga elimulika ingulu yaye, na Itala yaye niwe omwana wa inama. Amaanga galilibhata kwo bhwelu bhwo musi ogwo. Abhakama bhe Chalo bhaliletamo likusho lyebhe omwo. Emilyango jaye jitaligalwa mumwanya gwa mu mwisina, na aliya italibhao ngeta.
The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it because the glory of God provides its light—the Lamb is its lamp.
The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory into the city.
The gates of the city will never be shut during the day (and there will be no night there).
26 Bhalileta likusho ne chibhalo cha maanga mu mwene,
The nations' honor and glory will be brought into the city.
27 na chitalimo chijabhi chinu chilingilamo omwo. Nolwo wona wona unu kakola musango gwona gwona ogwa jinswalo amwi ogwo bhujigi-jigi atalingila, mbe nawe ni bhaliya-la bhanu amasina gebhwe gandikilwe mu chitabho cho bhuanga echo mwana wa Inama.
Nothing unclean will ever enter into it, or anyone who worships idols, or who is a liar—only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
