< Revelation 21 >
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea exists no more.
Bongo namonaki Likolo ya sika mpe mabele ya sika, pamba te Likolo ya liboso mpe mabele ya liboso elimwaki, mpe ebale monene ezalaki lisusu te.
2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Namonaki engumba ya bule, Yelusalemi ya sika, kokita wuta na Lola epai ya Nzambe. Ebongisamaki lokola mwasi mobandami ya libala oyo asali monzele mpo na mobali na ye.
3 And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their God.
Nayokaki mongongo moko ya monene kobima wuta na Kiti ya Bokonzi mpe ezalaki koloba: « Botala, Nzambe atie evandelo na Ye kati na bato mpe akovanda elongo na bango. Bakozala bato na Ye, Ye moko Nzambe akozala elongo na bango mpe akozala Nzambe na bango.
4 And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any more, for the former things have passed away.
Akopangusa mpinzoli nyonso na miso na bango. Kufa, matanga, kolela to pasi ekozala lisusu te, pamba te makambo ya kala esili koleka. »
5 And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says [to me], Write, for these words are true and faithful.
Bongo Ye oyo avandaki na Kiti ya Bokonzi alobaki: « Nazali kokomisa biloko nyonso ya sika. » Alobaki lisusu: « Koma makambo oyo, pamba te maloba oyo ezali penza ya solo mpe ebongi na kotiela yango motema. »
6 And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Alobaki na ngai lisusu: « Ekokisami. Nazali Alifa mpe Omega, Ebandeli mpe Suka. Na moto oyo azali na posa ya mayi, nakopesa mayi ya ofele wuta na etima ya mayi ya bomoi.
7 He that overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be to him God, and he shall be to me son.
Yango nde ekozala libula ya moto oyo akolonga. Nakozala Nzambe na ye, mpe ye akozala mwana na Ngai.
8 But to the fearful and unbelieving, [and sinners], and those who make themselves abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [is] in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. (Limnē Pyr )
Kasi bato oyo batepaka-tepaka na kondima na bango, bato oyo bazangi kondima, bato oyo basalaka makambo ya soni, babomi, bandumba, bato ya maji, basambeli bikeko, mpe bato nyonso ya lokuta, bakobwakama kati na liziba ya moto mpe ya sofolo: yango nde kufa ya mibale. » (Limnē Pyr )
9 And there came one of the seven angels which had had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Moko kati na ba-anjelu sambo oyo bazalaki na bakopo sambo etonda na bitumbu sambo ya suka ayaki mpe alobaki na ngai: « Yaka, nakolakisa yo mwasi mobandami ya libala, mwasi ya Mpate. »
10 And he carried me away in [the] Spirit, [and set me] on a great and high mountain, and shewed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,
Bongo kati na Molimo, amemaki ngai na likolo ya ngomba moko ya monene mpe ya molayi; alakisaki ngai Yelusalemi, engumba ya bule, oyo ezalaki kokita wuta na Lola epai ya Nzambe.
11 having the glory of God. Her shining [was] like a most precious stone, as a crystal-like jasper stone;
Ezalaki kongenga na nkembo ya Nzambe, mpe kongenga na yango ezalaki lokola kongenga ya libanga ya talo makasi, lokola jasipe oyo emonisaka lokola krisitali.
12 having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are those of the twelve tribes of [the] sons of Israel.
Engumba yango ezalaki na mir moko ya molayi mpe emata na bosanda, mpe ezalaki na bikuke zomi na mibale, mpe na ba-anjelu zomi na mibale na bikuke yango. Bakombo ya mabota zomi na mibale ya Isalaele ezalaki ya kokomama na bikuke yango.
13 On [the] east three gates; and on [the] north three gates; and on [the] south three gates; and on [the] west three gates.
Bikuke misato ezalaki na ngambo ya este, misato na ngambo ya nor, misato na ngambo ya sude, mpe misato na ngambo ya weste.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Mir ya engumba yango etongamaki likolo ya miboko zomi na mibale, mpe bakombo ya bantoma zomi na mibale ya Mpate ezalaki ya kokomama na likolo na yango.
15 And he that spoke with me had a golden reed [as] a measure, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai asimbaki lokola emekelo molayi lingenda basala na wolo, mpo na komeka molayi ya engumba, ya bikuke na yango mpe ya mir na yango.
16 And the city lies four-square, and its length [is] as much as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed — twelve thousand stadia: the length and the breadth and height of it are equal.
Bangambo nyonso minei ya engumba yango ezalaki ndenge moko na molayi mpe na mokuse. Anjelu asalelaki lingenda na ye mpo na komeka molayi ya engumba: ezalaki na bakilometele pene nkoto mibale na nkama mibale na molayi, na mokuse mpe na bosanda.
17 And he measured its wall, a hundred [and] forty-four cubits, [a] man's measure, that is, [the] angel's.
Anjelu amekaki mpe kovimba ya mir kolanda ndenge bato basalaka: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku motoba na mitano.
18 And the building of its wall [was] jasper; and the city pure gold, like pure glass:
Mir yango etongamaki na jasipe, mpe engumba ezalaki ya wolo oyo basangisa na eloko mosusu te, peto lokola talatala.
19 the foundations of the wall of the city [were] adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
Babambaki mabanga ya talo ya ndenge na ndenge na miboko ya mir ya engumba yango: babambaki jasipe na moboko ya liboso, safiri na moboko ya mibale, shalisedwane na moboko ya misato, emerode na moboko ya minei,
20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
saridwane na moboko ya mitano, korinaline na moboko ya motoba, krizolite na moboko ya sambo, berili na moboko ya mwambe, topaze na moboko ya libwa, krizopraze na moboko ya zomi, tirikwaze na moboko ya zomi na moko, mpe ametisite na moboko ya zomi na mibale.
21 And the twelve gates, twelve pearls; each one of the gates, respectively, was of one pearl; and the street of the city pure gold, as transparent glass.
Bikuke wana zomi na mibale ezalaki lokola mayaka zomi na mibale; ekuke moko na moko esalemaki na liyaka moko. Balabala monene ya engumba yango ezalaki ya wolo oyo basangisa na eloko mosusu te, peto lokola talatala.
22 And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
Namonaki ata tempelo moko te kati na engumba, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso mpe Mpate nde bazali Tempelo na yango.
23 And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine for it; for the glory of God has enlightened it, and the lamp thereof [is] the Lamb.
Engumba yango ezali na posa te ya moyi to ya sanza mpo na kongengisa yango, pamba te engengisamaka na nkembo ya Nzambe; bongo Mpate azali mwinda na yango.
24 And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it.
Bikolo ekotambola na pole na yango, mpe bakonzi ya mokili bakomema nkembo na bango kati na engumba.
25 And its gates shall not be shut at all by day, for night shall not be there.
Bikuke ya engumba yango ekobanda kokangama te mokolo mobimba, pamba te butu ekozala kuna te.
26 And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations to it.
Bakomemela engumba yango nkembo mpe lokumu ya bikolo.
27 And nothing common, nor that maketh an abomination and a lie, shall at all enter into it; but those only who [are] written in the book of life of the Lamb.
Eloko moko te ya mbindo ekokota kuna, mpe moto moko te oyo asalaka makambo ya nkele mpe alobaka lokuta akokota kuna; kaka ba-oyo bakombo na bango ekomama kati na buku ya bomoi ya Mpate nde bakokota kuna.
