Chivumbulutso 22
1 Ndipo mngeloyo anandionetsa mtsinje wamadzi amoyo, oyera ngati mwala wa krustalo ukutuluka ku mpando waufumu wa Mulungu ndi wa Mwana Wankhosa,
And the angel showed me a river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, issuing from the throne of God and of the Lamb,
2 Ukuyenda pakati pa msewu waukulu wa mu mzindawo. Mbali iliyonse ya mtsinjewo kunali mtengo wamoyo, utabala zipatso khumi ndi ziwiri. Kubereka zipatso mwezi uliwonse. Ndipo masamba a mtengowo ndi mankhwala wochiritsa anthu a mitundu ina.
in the middle of the street of the city. On each side of the river was a Tree of life which bore twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 Sipadzakhalanso temberero lililonse. Mpando waufumu wa Mulungu ndi wa Mwana Wankhosa udzakhala mu mzindawo, ndipo atumiki ake adzamutumikira.
Every thing that is accursed will cease to be. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be within it, and his servants will worship him;
4 Iwo adzaona nkhope yake ndipo dzina lake lidzalembedwa pa mphumi zawo.
they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
5 Sipadzakhalanso usiku. Sadzafuna kuwala kwa nyale kapena kwa dzuwa pakuti Ambuye Mulungu adzakhala kuwala kwawo. Ndipo adzalamulira kwamuyaya. (aiōn g165)
Night will cease to be. They have no need of the light of a lamp, nor have they the light of the sun; for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
6 Mngeloyo anandiwuza kuti, “Mawu awa ndi okhulupirika ndi owona. Ambuye Mulungu wa mizimu ya aneneri anatumiza mngelo wake kudzaonetsa atumiki ake zinthu zimene ziyenera kuchitika posachedwapa.”
Then the angel said to me – “These words may be trusted and are true. The Lord, the God that inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants what must quickly take place;
7 “Taonani, ndikubwera posachedwa! Wodala ndi amene asunga mawu oneneratu za kutsogolo a mʼbuku ili.”
and they said ‘I will come quickly.’ Blessed will he be who lays to heart the words of the prophecy contained in this book.”
8 Ine Yohane, ndine amene ndinamva ndi kuona zinthu izi. Ndipo pamene ndinamva ndi kuona izi ndinagwa pansi kuti ndipembedze mngelo amene amandionetsa zimenezi.
It was I, John, who heard and saw these things; and, when I heard and saw them, I prostrated myself in worship at the feet of the angel that showed them to me.
9 Koma mngeloyo anandiwuza kuti, “Usatero ayi! Ine ndine wotumikira monga iwe pamodzi ndi abale ako aneneri ndi onse amene amasunga mawu a mʼbuku pembedzani Mulungu.”
But he said to me – “Forbear; I am your fellow servant, and the fellow servant of your fellow prophets, and of all who lay to heart the words in this book. Worship God.”
10 Kenaka anandiwuza kuti, “Usabise mawu onena zamʼtsogolo a mʼbuku ili chifukwa nthawi yayandikira.
Then the angel said to me – “Do not keep secret the words of the prophecy contained in this book; for the time is near.
11 Wochita zoyipa apitirire kuchita zoyipazo; wochita zonyansa apitirire kuchita zonyansazo; wochita zabwino apitirire kuchita zabwinozo; ndipo woyera mtima apitirire kukhala woyera mtima.”
Let the wrongdoer continue to do wrong; the filthy-minded continue to be filthy; the righteous continue to act righteously; and the holy-minded continue to be holy.”
12 “Taonani, ndikubwera posachedwa! Ndikubwera ndi mphotho zanga kuti ndidzapereke kwa aliyense malinga ndi zimene anachita.
(‘I will come quickly. I bring my rewards with me, to give to each what their actions deserve.
13 Ine ndine Alefa ndi Omega, Woyamba ndi Wotsiriza, Chiyambi ndi Chimaliziro ndine.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the beginning and the End.’)
14 “Odala amene achapa mikanjo yawo, kuti akhale ndi ufulu wopita ku mtengo wamoyo ndi kuti akalowe mʼzipata za mu mzindawo.
Blessed will they be who wash their robes! They will have the right to approach the Tree of life, and may enter the city by the gates.
15 Kunja kuli agalu, amatsenga, achiwerewere, akupha anthu, opembedza mafano ndi aliyense amene amakonda bodza ndi kulichita.
Outside will be the filthy, the sorcerers, the impure, the murderers, the idolaters, and all who love the false and live it.
16 “Ine Yesu, ndatuma mngelo wanga kuti achitire umboni uwu ku mipingo. Ine ndine Muzu ndi Chipatso cha Davide ndipo ndine Nthanda Yonyezimira.”
‘I, Jesus, sent my angel to bear testimony to you about these things before the churches. I am the Scion and the Offspring of David, the bright star of the Morning.’
17 Mzimu Woyera ndi mkwatibwi akuti, “Bwerani!” Ndipo amene akumva anena kuti Bwerani! Iye amene ali ndi ludzu abwere, ndipo aliyense amene afuna alandire mphatso yaulere ya madzi amoyo.
‘Come,’ say the Spirit and the Bride; and all who hear, say ‘Come.’ All who thirst, come; anyone who wants, take the water of life freely.
18 Ndikuchenjeza aliyense amene akumva mawu onena zamʼtsogolo a mʼbukuli kuti, “Ngati wina awonjezerapo kalikonse, Mulungu adzamuwonjezera miliri imene yalembedwa mʼbuku ili.
I declare to all who hear the words of the prophecy contained in this book – ‘If anyone adds to it, God will add to his troubles the curses described in this book;
19 Ndipo wina akachotsapo mawu onena zamʼtsogolo a mʼbuku ili, Mulungu adzachotsa gawo lake pa mtengo wamoyo ndi la mu mzinda woyera zimene zanenedwa mʼbuku ili.”
and if anyone takes away any of the words in the book containing this prophecy, God will take away his share in the Tree of life, and in the Holy City – as described in this book.’
20 Iye amene akuchitira umboni pa zinthu izi akuti, “Inde, Ine ndikubwera posachedwa.” Ameni. Bwerani Ambuye Yesu.
He whose testimony this is says – ‘Assuredly I will come quickly.’ ‘Amen, come, Lord Jesus.’
21 Chisomo cha Ambuye Yesu chikhale ndi anthu onse. Ameni.
May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ, be with his people.
