< Revelation 21 >
1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.
Mgbe ahụ, ahụrụ m eluigwe ọhụrụ na ụwa ọhụrụ. Eluigwe nke mbụ na ụwa nke mbụ agabigala, osimiri adịghịkwa.
2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
Ahụkwara obodo nsọ ahụ bụ Jerusalem ọhụrụ ka o si nʼeluigwe ebe Chineke nọ na-arịdata. Ọ mara mma dịka nwaagbọghọ ejikwara nke ọma maka ịgakwuru di ya.
3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people; and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
Anụkwara m oke olu si nʼocheeze ahụ kwuo okwu sị, “Leenụ! Ebe obibi Chineke adịla ugbu a nʼetiti ụmụ mmadụ. Ọ ga-ebinyere ha. Ha ga-abụkwa ndị ya, nʼezie, Chineke nʼonwe ya ga-anọkwa nʼetiti ha bụrụkwa Chineke ha.
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more. The first things have passed away.”
Ọ ga-ehichapụ anya mmiri niile dị nʼanya ha. Ọnwụ agaghị adịkwa ọzọ. Ọ bụladị iru ụjụ na ịkwa akwa na ahụhụ agaghị adịkwa. Ihe ndị ochie niile agabigala.”
5 He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.”
Onye ahụ nọ nʼocheeze ahụ kwuru sị, “Lee, ana m eme ka ihe niile dị ọhụrụ.” Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịkwara, “Detuo ihe ndị a, nʼihi na okwu ndị a bụ ihe e kwesiri ịtụkwasị obi, bụrụkwa eziokwu.”
6 He said to me, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.
Ọ sịrị m, “E mezuola ihe niile. Abụ m Alfa na Omega, Mmalite na Ọgwụgwụ. Aga m enye onye akpịrị na-akpọ nkụ mmiri nke si nʼisi iyi mmiri nke ndụ dịka ihe onyinye.
7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.
Ndị ọbụla na-emeri emeri ga-enweta ihe nketa ndị a. Aga m abụkwa Chineke ha, ha onwe ha ga-abụ ụmụ m.
8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire (Limnē Pyr ) and sulfur, which is the second death."
Ma ndị na-atụ ụjọ, ndị na-ekweghị ekwe, na ndị na-emetọ onwe ha, na ndị ogbu mmadụ, na ndị na-akwa iko, na ndị ha na mmụọ ọjọọ na-akparịta ụka, na ndị na-ekpere arụsị, na ndị ụgha niile, ihe ha ga-eketa bụ ikpe ọmụma nke ịbanye nʼime olulu ahụ e ji nkume na-enwu ọkụ kwanye ọkụ. Nke bụ ọnwụ nke ugboro abụọ.” (Limnē Pyr )
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls which were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”
Otu nʼime ndị mmụọ ozi asaa ahụ, nke ji efere asaa ahụ nke ihe ntaramahụhụ dị nʼime ya bịakwutere m sị m, “Soro m, ka m gosi gị nwaagbọghọ ahụ bụ nwunye Nwa Atụrụ ahụ.”
10 He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
O buuru m nʼime Mmụọ buga m nʼotu ugwu buru ibu nke ịdị elu ya dịkwa ukwuu. O gosiri m obodo nsọ ahụ bụ Jerusalem ka o si na mbara eluigwe ebe Chineke nọ na-arịdata.
11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
O jupụtara nʼebube Chineke, na-enwu ma na-achakwa dịka nkume dịkarịsịrị oke ọnụahịa, dịka nkume jaspa, na-enwu dịka kristal.
12 having a great and high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
Mgbidi ya niile dị obosara dịkwa elu. O nwekwara ọnụ ụzọ iri na abụọ. Ọ bụkwa ndị mmụọ ozi iri na abụọ na-eche ọnụ ụzọ ndị a nche. E dekwara aha ebo iri na abụọ nke ụmụ Izrel nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ndị a nʼotu nʼotu.
13 On the east were three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
Ọnụ ụzọ ama atọ dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, atọ dị nʼakụkụ ugwu, atọ dị nʼakụkụ ndịda, ebe atọ dị nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ.
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
Mgbidi ahụ nwere nkume iri na abụọ e ji tọọ ntọala ya. Nʼelu nkume ndị a nʼotu nʼotu ka e dere aha ndị ozi iri na abụọ nke Nwa Atụrụ ahụ.
15 He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.
Onye ahụ na-agwa m okwu ji osisi e ji atụ ihe, nke e ji ọlaedo mee, nʼaka ya. O ji ya tụọ obodo ahụ na ọnụ ụzọ ama ya, na mgbidi ya.
16 The city is square. Its length is as great as its width. He measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand twelve stadia. Its length, width, and height are equal.
Nʼobodo ahụ, enweghị otu akụkụ nʼime akụkụ anọ nke mgbidi ya karịrị ibe ya. Ogologo ya na obodobo ya ha otu. O ji ihe ọtụtụ tụọ ya, ogologo ya na obodobo nakwa ịdị elu ya ha, ọtụtụ ya dị puku kilomita abụọ na narị kilomita abụọ.
17 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
Ọ tụkwara ịdị igbidi nke mgbidi ahụ chọpụta na ọ dị narị nzọ ụkwụ atọ, dịka ihe ọtụtụ nke mmụọ ozi ahụ si gụpụta.
18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.
Ihe e ji rụọ mgbidi ya bụ nkume dị oke ọnụahịa a na-akpọ jaspa, jiri ezi ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha, nke na-enwu dịka enyo dị ọcha rụọ obodo ahụ.
19 The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire; the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
E ji nkume niile dị oke ọnụahịa chọọ ntọala mgbidi obodo ahụ mma. Ntọala nke mbụ, bụ nkume a na-akpọ jaspa, ntọala nke abụọ, nkume a na-akpọ safaia, ntọala nke atọ, nkume a na-akpọ kaldoni, nke anọ, nkume a na-akpọ emeralụdụ,
20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
nke ise, nkume a na-akpọ ọniks, nke isii, nkume a na-akpọ kanelian, nke asaa, nkume a na-akpọ krisolaịt, nke asatọ, nkume a na-akpọ beril, nke itoolu, nkume a na-akpọ topaazi, nke iri, nkume a na-akpọ krisoprez, nke iri na otu, nkume a na-akpọ jasint, nke iri na abụọ, nkume a na-akpọ ametisiti.
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
Ọnụ ụzọ ama iri na abụọ ahụ bụ pieal iri na abụọ, ọnụ ụzọ ama ọbụla ka e ji otu nkume pieal rụọ nʼotu nʼotu. Ihe e ji rụọ okporoụzọ dị nʼobodo ahụ bụ naanị ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha ọbụla, nke dị ọcha dịka enyo e hichaziri nke ọma.
22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
O nweghị ụlọnsọ ukwu ọbụla m hụrụ nʼime obodo ahụ nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na Nwa Atụrụ ahụ bụ ụlọnsọ ukwu obodo ahụ nwere.
23 The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb.
Ọ dịkwaghị mkpa ọ dịrị obodo ahụ ka anwụ maọbụ ọnwa mụkwasị ya, nʼihi na ebube nke Chineke bụ ìhè ya, oriọna ya bụkwa Nwa atụrụ ahụ.
24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
Mba niile ga-eji ìhè ya jegharịa. Ndị eze ụwa niile ga-abịakwa webata ebube ha nʼime ya.
25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
A naghị emechi ọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ emechi. Ha na-eghe oghe ụbọchị niile nʼihi abalị ọbụla adịghịkwa nʼebe ahụ.
26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.
Ebube na nsọpụrụ nke mba niile ka a ga-ewebata nʼime ya.
27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Ọ dịkwaghị ihe ọbụla rụrụ arụ ga-abata nʼime ya. Otu a kwa, ọ dịkwaghị onye na-eme ihe arụ, maọbụ onye ụgha ga-abata nʼime ya, kama ọ bụ naanị ndị ahụ e dere aha ha nʼakwụkwọ nke ndụ Nwa Atụrụ ahụ.
