Chiyubunuzyo 22
1 Alimwi mungelo wakanditondezya mulonga wamanzi abuumi, abalangala mbuli klusti. Akali kweenda kuzwa kuchuno chaLeza achaMwana ambelele
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 kwiinda akati kamigwagwa yachisi. Kumbali lyawo mulonga kwakali musamu wabuumi, kuzyede ikumi ayibili misyobo yamichelo, aboobo nkuzyalo michelo yawo amweezi amweezi. Maatu amusamu ngakuponya nyika.
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, [was there] the tree of life, which bare twelve [manner of] fruits, [and] yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree [were] for the healing of the nations.
3 Takuyoba limbi lutuko. Chuuno chaLeza achaMwana mbelele chiyoba muchisi, aboobo babelesi bakwe bayomubelekela.
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 Bayoobona busyu bwakwe, aboobo izina lyakwe liyooba ankumu zyabo.
And they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] in their foreheads.
5 Takuyoba limbi mansiku tabachiyoyandi mumuni walampi nikuba wazuba nkaambo Mwami Leza uuyobamunikila. Bayoyendelezya lyoonse alyonse. (aiōn g165)
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
6 Mungelo wakandambila kuti, “Aya majwi ngalusyomo akasimpe. Mwami, Leza wamyuuya yabasinsimi, watuma mungelo wakwe kuti atondezye babelesi bakwe azezyo zitachitike lino.”
And he said unto me, These sayings [are] faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7 “Langa! Ndila boola lino! Ulilongezedwe oyo usyoma majwi abusinsimi bwamubbuku eli.”
Behold, I come quickly: blessed [is] he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8 Ime, nde Joni, ndime ndakamvwa akubona eezi zintu. nindakamvwa akuzibon, ndakawida ansi ndimukombe oyo mungelo wakali kunditondezya zintu ezyo.
And I John saw these things, and heard [them]. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
9 Wakandambila kuti, “Utachiti obo! Andime ndimubelesi nyokwe, mwana wabanakwanu waba sinsimi, ababo basyoma majwiamubbuku eli. Kkomba Leza!”
Then saith he unto me, See [thou do it] not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
10 Alimwi wakandambila kuti, “Utanamatiki majwi abusinsimi abbuku eli, nkaambo nchiindi chili afwifwi.
And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 Oyo utaluleme, muleke kachiya buchita zitaluleme. Oyo uchilisimatombe muleke kachiyabuchitisya bululam. Oyo usalala muleke kachiyabuchitisya busalali.”
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 “Langa! Ndila boola lino. Bulumbu bwangu buli andime, bwakulumbula awumwi kumilimo yakwe.
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 Ndime Alufa aOmega, kusanguna akumanisizya, matalikilo amamanino.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Balilongezedwe abo basanzya zikobelo zyabo kuchitila kuti babe achelelo chakulya musamu wabumi akunjila mumulyango wamunzi.
Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 Anze mpubali babwa abalozi abasibwamu abajayi, abakomba mizimu, aboonse bayanda kuchita bubeji.
For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 Ime, nde Jesu, ndakatuma mungelo kuti amulungunwide makani aya muzikombelo. Ndime muyanda walunyungu lwa Davida, intanda imwekesya yakubuchedo.”
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, [and] the bright and morning star.
17 Muuya anabwinga bati, “Boola!” Muleke oyo umvwa awambe kuti, “Boola!” Oyo woonse uli anyota, mumuleke awangunuke kunwa manzi abuumi.
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 Ndalungulula kuli woonse oyo umvwa majwi abusinsimi bwabbuku eli: Na umwi wayungizya kuli ngawo, Leza ulamuyungizizya zipenzyo ezyo zilembedwe atala aleli bbuku.
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 Na umwi wagwisya kuzwa mumajwi abbuku lyabusinsimi, Leza uyoomugwisisya lukono lwakwe kumusamu wabuumi amuchiisi chisalala ezyo zilembedwe atala abbuku eli.
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book.
20 Oyo ulungulula eezi zintu uti, “Iyii! Ndilaboola lino.” Ameni! Boola, Mwami Jesu!
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 Luzyalo lwaMwami Jesu lube anywe moonse. Ameni.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
