Olphong 21
1 Te phoeiah vaan thai neh diklai thai ka hmuh. Lamhma kah vaan neh lamhma kah diklai tah khum coeng tih tuitunli om voel pawh.
Then I saw new heavens and a new earth. The former heavens and the former earth had passed away; and the sea has ceased to be.
2 A cim kho thai Jerusalem te khaw a va ham aka rhuengphong tih aka thoeihcam vasakung bangla vaan Pathen taeng lamkah ha suntla te ka hmuh.
And I saw the Holy City, Jerusalem, descending new out of Heaven from God, like a bride adorned in readiness for her husband.
3 Te vaengah ngolkhoel lamkah ol ue ka yaak. “Pathen kah dap tah hlang rhoek taengah om coeng ke. Te dongah amih taengah rhaeh vetih amih khaw a pilnam la om uh ni. Pathen amah khaw amih taengah om vetih amih kah Pathen la om ni.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne, which said — ‘See! the Tabernacle of God is set up among men. God will dwell among them, and they will be his Peoples, and God himself will be among them,
4 Te vaengah amih mik kah mikphi te boeih a huih vetih dueknah om voel mahpawh. Ngueknah neh rhungrhahnah, tlohtat om voel mahpawh. Lamhma kah aka om tah khum coeng.
and he will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, nor will there be any more grief or crying or pain. The old order has passed away.’
5 Te vaengah ngolkhoel sokah aka ngol loh, “A cungkuem he a thai la ka saii coeng he,” a ti. Te phoeiah, “Hekah olka tah a uepom tih oltak la a om dongah daek lah,” a ti.
And he who was seated on the throne said — ‘See, I make all things new!’ And he said — ‘Write this, for these words may be trusted and are true.’
6 Te phoeiah kai taengah ka coeng coeng. Kai tah Alpha neh Omega, hmapai neh hmakhap la ka om. Kai loh tui aka hal taengah hingnah tuisih lamkah tui te a yoe la ka paek ni.
And he said to me — ‘They are fulfilled. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who thirsts I will give of the spring of the Water of Life, freely.
7 Aka noeng loh he he a pang ni. Te vaengah anih ham Pathen la ka om vetih anih khaw ka ca la om ni.
He who conquers shall enter into possession of these things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my Son.
9 Te phoeiah bunang parhih aka pom puencawn parhih khuikah pakhat te ha pawk tih a hnukkhueng kah lucik parhih te muep hah. Te dongah kamah taengah a thui tih, “Halo lah, Tuca kah a yuu vasakung te nang kan tueng eh,” a ti.
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, and were laden with the seven last Curses, came and spoke to me. ‘Come here,’ he said, ‘and I will show you the Bride, the Wife of the Lamb.’
10 Mueihla neh tlang puei tlang sang la kai n'khuen tih Jerusalem kho cim vaan Pathen taeng lamkah ha suntlak te kai n'tueng.
He carried me away in a trance to a great high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the Holy City, descending out of Heaven from God, filled with the glory of God.
11 Pathen kah thangpomnah te a khueh. A aa tah lung vang phek la om tih maihae lung bangla cilrhik.
Its brilliance was like that of some very precious stone, like a jasper, transparent as crystal.
12 Pangbueng khaw a len neh a sang neh om tih vongka hlainit neh te vongka ah puencawn hlainit om. Te phoeiah te kah ming daek tangtae dongah Israel ca rhoek koca hlainit kah ming te om.
It had a great high wall, in which were twelve gates; and at these gates there were twelve angels, and there were names inscribed on the gates, the names of the twelve tribes of the Israelites.
13 Khothoeng ah thohka pathum om. Tlangpuei ah khaw thohka pathum, tuithim ah khaw thohka pathum, khotlak ah khaw thohka pathum om.
‘There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.’
14 Kho kah pangbueng tah khoengim hlainit om tih te rhoek dongah Tuca kah caeltueih rhoek hlainit kah ming hlainit te om.
The wall of the City had twelve foundation stones, on which were the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
15 Te phoeiah kai taengkah aka cal loh kho khaw, thohka neh pangbueng te nueh ham sui cungkui a pom.
And the angel who was speaking to me had as a measure a gold rod, with which to measure the City and its gates and its wall.
16 Khopuei tah hniboeng la om tih a yun neh a daang te vai uh rhoi. Kho te cungkui neh nueh hatah phalong thawng hlainit lo. A yun khaw, a daang khaw, a sang khaw vanat la om.
The City is square; the length and the breadth are the same. The angel measured with his rod; it was twelve hundred miles; its length, and breadth, and height are equal.
17 Pangbueng te a nueh vaengah puencawn la aka om hlang kah cungnueh ah dong ya sawmli pali lo.
Then he measured the wall; it was two hundred and eighty-eight feet, as men measure, that is as the angel measured.
18 Pangbueng saknah te maihae neh a sak. Khopuei tah sui cilh neh a sak tih hmaidan phek la cil.
The material of the wall of the City was jasper, and the City was built of pure gold, which shone like clear glass.
19 Khopuei pangbueng kah khoengim te lung vang cungkuem neh a thoeihcam. Khoengim lamhma te maihae, pabae te minhum, a pathum te rhohumlung, a pali te hingsuep lung,
The foundations of the wall of the City were ornamented with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was a jasper; the second a sapphire; the third a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald;
20 a panga te oitha, a parhuk te lungling, a parhih te tamsenlung, a parhet te tamkuei, a pako te vaya, a hlai te sungvalik, a hlaikaek te oithii, hlainit te cangullung neh a thoeihcam.
the fifth a sardonyx; the sixth a carnelian; the seventh a chrysolite; the eighth a beryl; the ninth a topaz; the tenth a chrysoprase; the eleventh a hyacinth; and the twelfth an amethyst.
21 Thohka hlainit te khaw laitha hlainit la om tih thohka pakhat rhip te laitha pakhat neh rhip om. Khopuei kah toltung khaw sui cilh la om tih hmaidan bangla cilrhik.
The twelve gates were made of twelve pearls, each gate of one pearl. The street of the City was of pure gold, transparent as glass.
22 Tloengkhoelh Pathen Boeipa neh Tuca tah a bawkim la a om coeng dongah a khuiah bawkim te ka hmuh moenih.
And I saw no Temple there, for the Lord, our God, the Almighty, and the Lamb are its Temple.
23 Khopuei loh a vang ham khomik neh hla khaw ngoe pawh. Pathen kah thangpomnah neh Tuca kah hmaiim loh a tue coeng.
The City has no need of ‘the sun or the moon to shine upon it, for the Glory of God illuminated it,’ and its Lamp was the Lamb.
24 Te vaengah Namtom rhoek tah, te kah vangnah dongah pongpa uh vetih diklai manghai rhoek loh amamih kah a thangpomnah te a khuila a khuen uh ni.
‘The nations walk by the light of it; and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it.
25 Te vaengah a thohka loh a khaih hnin ti om loengloeng mahpawh. Te ah te khoyin om mahpawh.
Its gates will never be shut by day,’ and there will be no night there.
26 Namtom rhoek kah a thangpomnah neh hinyahnah te a khuila a khuen uh ni.
And men will bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 Te phoeiah Tuca kah hingnah cayol khuiah a daek rhoek pawt atah a khuiah tanghnong boeih khaw, tueilaehnah aka saii khaw, laithae rhoek khaw kun uh loengloeng mahpawh.
‘Never shall any unhallowed thing enter it,’ nor he whose life is shameful and false, but only ‘those whose names have been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.’
