Fweny 21
1 Eka ne aneno polo manyien gi piny manyien. Polo mokwongo gi piny mokwongo noselal, to nam bende noselal kamano.
Then [in the vision] I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and the oceans no longer existed.
2 Bangʼe naneno Dala Maduongʼ Maler, ma en Jerusalem manyien kalor piny oa e polo ir Nyasaye, ka oikore ka miaha morwakore maber ni chwore.
I saw [God’s] holy city, which is the new [city of] Jerusalem. It was coming down out of heaven from God. [The city] had been prepared [and decorated] {[God] had prepared [and decorated the city]} as [SIM] a bride is decorated {decorates herself} [beautifully in order to marry] her husband.
3 To ne awinjo dwol maduongʼ moa e kom duongʼ mar loch mawacho niya, “Koro Nyasaye osebiro dak gi ji kendo enodag kodgi, ginibed joge, to Nyasaye owuon enobed kodgi kendo nobed Nyasachgi.
I heard a loud voice that spoke from the throne [of God]. It said, “Listen to this! Now God will live with people. He will live [right in the midst of] them [DOU]! They will be his people. God himself will be with them, and he will be their God.
4 Enoywe pi wengegi duto. Tho kata ywak gi nduru kod rem ok nochak obedie kendo ngangʼ, nikech gik machon oserumo.”
[As a result], he will [cause them to no longer be sad. It will be as though he will] [MTY] wipe every tear from their eyes. [None of them] will ever again die or mourn or cry [DOU] or suffer pain, because the former things [that make us sad] will have disappeared.”
5 Jal manobedo e kom duongʼ mar loch nowacho niya, “Neuru! Aloso gik moko duto bedo manyien!” Eka nowachona kendo niya, “Ndik ma, nikech wechegi gin migeno kendo gin adiera.”
Then [God], who sits on the throne, said, “Listen to this! I am [now] making everything new!” He said [to me]: “Write these things [that I have told you], because you can trust [that I will certainly cause them to happen].”
6 Bangʼ mano nowachona niya, “Gik moko osetimore. An e Alfa gi Omega, Chakruok gi Giko. Ngʼat ma riyo oloyo anami omodh pi soko mar ngima nono ma ok ochulo gimoro.
He said to me, “I have finished [doing all the things I needed to do]. I am the one who began all things [MET] and the one who will cause all things to end [MET]. To everyone who is [spiritually] thirsty [MET], I will (freely give/give as a free gift) water from the spring [that causes people] to live [forever].
7 Ngʼat molocho noyud gigi duto kaka girkeni, kendo anabed Nyasache, to enobed wuoda.
I will give this to every person who is victorious over [the evil powers] (OR, [over Satan]). I will be their God, and they will be my children.
8 To joma luor, gi joma ok oyie kod jo-koko gi jonek kod joma terore, gi jojuogi gi joma lamo nyiseche manono kod jo-miriambo duto, kargi nobed mana ataro mar mach maliel mager, ma en tho mar ariyo!” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
But those who are cowardly, those who do not believe [in me], those [who do] detestable things, those who are murderers, those who sin sexually, those who commit sorcery, those who worship idols, and every liar, will [all suffer] in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. [Anyone who suffers in that lake] will be dying the second time.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
9 Eka achiel kuom malaike abiriyogo mane nigi tewni abiriyo motingʼo masiche abiriyo mogik nobiro ira mowachona niya, “Bi, mondo anyisi miaha ma en chi Nyarombo.”
One of the seven angels who had one of the seven bowls that had been full of [the wine/liquid causing] [MTY] the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come [with me] and I will show you [the people who have permanently united with Christ, the one who is like a] lamb! They will be [like] [MET] a bride [for him].”
10 Roho nopongʼa kendo malaikano notingʼa motera malo ewi got mabor, mi nonyisa Jerusalem, ma en Dala Maduongʼ Maler, kalor piny aa e polo ir Nyasaye.
Then, while [God’s] Spirit [controlled me], the angel took/carried me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed me [God’s] holy city, [the New] Jerusalem. It was coming down out of heaven from God.
11 Ne orieny gi ler mar duongʼ Nyasaye, to lerne ne rieny ka kidi ma nengone tek, kaka jaspa maler ahinya.
It was shining with his glory. The city was shining like a very precious jasper stone [shines, and] it was clear like crystal.
12 Ne en gi ohinga maduongʼ kendo mabor man-gi dhorangeye apar gariyo kendo man-gi malaike apar gariyo e dhorangeyego. Bende e dhorangeyego nondikie nying ogendini apar gariyo mag Israel.
[Around the city] was a very high wall. The wall had twelve gates. An angel was at each gate. The names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written {[God] had written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel} over the gates. [Each gate had the name of one tribe].
13 Dhorangeye adek ne ni yo wuok chiengʼ, to adek yo nyandwat, kendo adek yo milambo bende adek mamoko yo podho chiengʼ.
Three gates were on the east [side], three gates were on the north [side], three gates were on the south [side], and three gates were on the west [side].
14 To ohinga mar dalano ne nigi mise apar gariyo, mane ondikie nying joote apar gariyo mag Nyarombo.
The wall of the city had twelve foundation [stones]. On each foundation [stone was] the name of one of the twelve apostles of [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb.
15 Malaikano mane owuoyo koda, ne nigi luth mar rapim molos gi dhahabu mipimogo dalano, gi dhorangeyene kod ohingane.
The angel who was speaking to me carried a golden measuring rod, in order to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
16 Dalano noger ma bethene angʼwen romre, ka borne ne rom gi lachne. Nopimo dala gi luth kendo noyudo ni borne gi lachne kod borne modhi malo ne romo kilomita alufu ariyo gi mia ariyo maromre.
The city was square [in shape]; it was as long as it was wide. After the angel measured the city with his rod, [he reported that it was] (1,500 miles/2,400 kilometers) long, and that its height was the same as [its length and width].
17 Bende ne opimo ohingane, mi oyudo ni pek mar kore oromo bede mia achiel gi piero angʼwen gangʼwen, kipimo gi bat mar dhano, ma en rapim mane malaika otiyogo.
He measured its wall [and reported that it was] ([216 ft./70 meters]) [thick] (OR, [high]). The angel used the measure that people [normally use].
18 Ohingano noger gi jaspa, to dalano noger gi dhahabu lilo marieny ka kio maler.
The [city] wall was made of [something like the green stone that we call] jasper. The city [itself] was [made of something like] pure gold [that looked] like clear glass.
19 Mise mar ohinga mar dala nokedi gi kite mabeyo duto ma nengogi tek. Mise mokwongo nolos gi jaspa, to mar ariyo ne safir, eka mar adek ne kalkedo kendo mar angʼwen ne emerald,
The foundations of the wall of the city were beautifully made with [wonderful stones that are like] precious stones [on earth]. The first foundation [stone was a crystalline stone like] jasper, the second [foundation stone was a blue stone like] sapphire, the third [foundation stone was a green stone like] agate, the fourth [foundation stone was a green stone like] emerald,
20 to mar abich ne sardonikso, mar auchiel ne sardius, eka mar abiriyo ne krusolith, to mar aboro ne berul, mar ochiko ne topaz, to mar apar ne kruskopraso, kendo mar apar gachiel ne jasinth, to mar apar gariyo ne amethusto.
the fifth [foundation stone was a brown and white layered stone like] sardonyx, the sixth [foundation stone was a red stone like] carnelian, the seventh [foundation stone was a yellow stone like] chrysolite, the eighth [foundation stone was a green stone like] beryl, the ninth [foundation stone was a yellow stone like] topaz, the tenth [foundation stone was a green stone like] chrysoprase, the eleventh [foundation stone was a blue stone like] hyacinth, and the twelfth [foundation stone was a purple stone like] amethyst.
21 Dhorangeye apar gariyogo ne gin kite mag lulu ma nengogi tek, kendo dhorangach ka dhorangach nolos gi lulu achiel achiel moriwore. Yor dalano ne dhahabu lilo marieny maler ka kio.
The twelve gates [of the city] were [something like huge] pearls. Each gate was like [it was] a single pearl. The [ground of] the main plaza of the city (OR, The streets of the city) [appeared to be] pure gold [that looked] like clear glass.
22 To ne ok aneno hekalu ei dalano, nikech Ruoth Nyasaye Maratego kod Nyarombo ema obedo hekalu mare.
There was no temple in the city. The Lord God Almighty [himself], and the [one who is like a] lamb, are [there, so there was no need for] [MET] a temple.
23 Dalano ok dwar chiengʼ kata dwe mondo orienyne, nikech duongʼ Nyasaye ema miye ler, kendo Nyarombo e tache.
The city will not need the sun or the moon to light the city, because the glory of God will illuminate the city, and [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, will also be its light.
24 Ogendini nowuothi e lerne, kendo ruodhi mag pinje nokel duongʼ-gi e iye.
The people of [MTY] the nations will live with the light of the city [shining upon them]. And the kings of the earth will bring their wealth into the city [to honor God and the one who is like a lamb].
25 Dhorangeyene ok nolor odiechiengʼ moro amora, to otieno bende ok nobedie ngangʼ.
The gates of the city will not be shut {No one will shut the gates of the city} [at the end of each day as they usually are shut], because there will be no night there.
26 Duongʼ gi mwandu mag ogendini mag pinje nokel e iye.
The [people of the] world will also bring their wealth into the city to honor [God and the one who is like a lamb].
27 To gimoro amora ma ok ler, kata ngʼato matimo gik makwero, kata mariambo, ok nodonjie, makmana jogo ma nying-gi ondiki e kitap Nyarombo mar ngima kende.
No one who is morally impure, no one who does things [that God considers] detestable, and no one who tells lies, will ever enter that city. Only those people whose names are written in the book of the [one who is like a] lamb {whose [names] the [one who is like a] lamb has written in his book}, [the names] of people who have [eternal] life, will be there.
