Revelation 21
1 And I sawe a newe heauen, and a newe earth: for the first heauen, and the first earth were passed away, and there was no more sea.
Kisha nikaona mbingu mpya na nchi mpya, kwa maana mbingu za kwanza na nchi ya kwanza vimekwisha kupita, wala hapakuwepo na bahari tena.
2 And I Iohn sawe the holie citie newe Hierusalem come downe from God out of heauen, prepared as a bride trimmed for her husband.
Nikaona Mji Mtakatifu, Yerusalemu mpya, ukishuka kutoka mbinguni kwa Mungu, ukiwa umeandaliwa kama bibi arusi aliyepambwa kwa ajili ya mumewe.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heauen, saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them: and they shalbe his people, and God himselfe shalbe their God with them.
Nami nikasikia sauti kubwa kutoka kile kiti cha enzi ikisema, “Sasa makao ya Mungu ni pamoja na wanadamu, naye atakaa pamoja nao. Yeye atakuwa Mungu wao nao watakuwa watu wake, naye Mungu mwenyewe atakuwa pamoja nao.
4 And God shall wipe away all teares from their eyes: and there shalbe no more death, neither sorow, neither crying, neither shall there be any more paine: for the first things are passed.
Atafuta kila chozi kutoka macho yao. Mauti haitakuwepo tena, wala maombolezo, wala kilio, wala maumivu, kwa maana mambo ya kwanza yamekwisha kupita.”
5 And he that sate vpon the throne, sayd, Behold, I make all things newe: and he sayde vnto me, Write: for these wordes are faithfull and true.
Naye yule aliyeketi juu ya kile kiti cha enzi akasema, “Tazama, nayafanya mambo yote kuwa mapya!” Kisha akasema, “Andika haya, maana maneno haya ni ya kuaminika tena ni kweli.”
6 And he said vnto me, It is done, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ende. I wil giue to him that is a thirst, of the well of the water of life freely.
Akaniambia, “Imekwisha kuwa. Mimi ni Alfa na Omega, Mwanzo na Mwisho. Yeye aonaye kiu nitampa kunywa kutoka chemchemi ya maji ya uzima bila gharama yoyote.
7 He that ouercommeth, shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my sonne.
Yeye ashindaye atayarithi haya yote, nami nitakuwa Mungu wake, naye atakuwa mwanangu.
9 And there came vnto mee one of the seuen Angels, which had the seuen vials full of the seuen last plagues, and talked with mee, saying, Come: I will shewe thee the bride, the Lambes wife.
Mmoja wa wale malaika saba waliokuwa na yale mabakuli saba ya hayo mapigo saba ya mwisho akaja akaniambia, “Njoo, nami nitakuonyesha bibi arusi, yaani, mke wa Mwana-Kondoo.”
10 And he caried me away in the spirit to a great: and an hie mountaine, and he shewed me that great citie, that holie Hierusalem, descending out of heauen from God,
Naye akanichukua katika Roho hadi kwenye mlima mkubwa na mrefu, akanionyesha ule Mji Mtakatifu, Yerusalemu, ukishuka kutoka mbinguni kwa Mungu.
11 Hauing the glorie of God: and her shining was like vnto a stone most precious, as a Iasper stone cleare as crystall,
Ulikuwa ukingʼaa kwa utukufu wa Mungu kama kito chenye thamani sana, kama yaspi, safi kama kioo.
12 And had a great wall and hie, and had twelue gates, and at the gates twelue Angels, and the names written, which are the twelue tribes of the children of Israel.
Ulikuwa na ukuta mkubwa, mrefu wenye malango kumi na mawili, pakiwa na malaika kumi na wawili kwenye hayo malango. Kwenye malango hayo yaliandikwa majina ya yale makabila kumi na mawili ya Israeli.
13 On the East part there were three gates, and on the Northside three gates, on the Southside three gates, and on the Westside three gates.
Kulikuwa na malango matatu upande wa mashariki, matatu upande wa kaskazini, matatu upande wa kusini na matatu upande wa magharibi.
14 And the wall of the citie had twelue foundations, and in them the Names of the Lambes twelue Apostles.
Ukuta wa huo mji ulikuwa na misingi kumi na miwili, na juu yake yaliandikwa majina ya wale mitume kumi na wawili wa Mwana-Kondoo.
15 And hee that talked with mee, had a golden reede, to measure the citie withall, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
Huyo malaika aliyesema nami alikuwa na ufito wa dhahabu wa kupimia huo mji, malango yake na kuta zake.
16 And the citie laie foure square, and the length is as large as the bredth of it, and he measured the citie with the reede, twelue thousande furlongs: and the length, and the bredth, and the height of it are equall.
Mji huo ulikuwa mraba, urefu wake ulikuwa sawa na upana wake. Akaupima huo mji kwa huo ufito akakuta una kama kilomita 2,200; urefu wake na upana wake na kwenda juu kwake vilikuwa sawa.
17 And hee measured the wall thereof, an hundreth fourtie and foure cubites, by the measure of man, that is, of the Angell.
Akaupima ukuta wake, ulikuwa na unene wa dhiraa 144 kwa kipimo cha kibinadamu ambacho huyo malaika alikuwa akikitumia.
18 And ye building of the wall of it was of Iasper: and the citie was pure golde, like vnto cleare glasse.
Ukuta huo ulijengwa kwa yaspi hali mji wenyewe ulijengwa kwa dhahabu safi, ikingʼaa kama kioo.
19 And the foundations of the wall of ye city were garnished with all maner of precious stones: the first foundation was Iasper: the second of Saphire: the third of a Chalcedonie: the fourth of an Emeraude:
Misingi ya kuta za mji huo zilipambwa kwa kila aina ya kito cha thamani. Msingi wa kwanza ulikuwa wa yaspi, wa pili yakuti samawi, wa tatu kalkedoni, wa nne zumaridi,
20 The fift of a Sardonix: the sixt of a Sardius: the seueth of a Chrysolite: the eight of a Beryl: the ninth of a Topaze: the tenth of a Chrysoprasus: the eleuenth of a Iacynth: the twelfth an Amethyst.
wa tano sardoniki, wa sita akiki, wa saba krisolitho, wa nane zabarajadi, wa tisa yakuti manjano, wa kumi krisopraso, wa kumi na moja hiakintho, wa kumi na mbili amethisto.
21 And the twelue gates were twelue pearles, and euery gate is of one pearle, and the streete of the citie is pure golde, as shining glasse.
Yale malango kumi na mbili yalikuwa ni lulu kumi na mbili, kila lango lilikuwa limetengenezwa kwa lulu moja. Barabara kuu ya mji huo ilikuwa ya dhahabu safi ingʼaayo kama kioo.
22 And I sawe no Temple therein: for the Lord God almightie and the Lambe are the Temple of it.
Sikuona Hekalu ndani ya huo mji kwa sababu Bwana Mungu Mwenyezi na Mwana-Kondoo ndio hekalu lake.
23 And this citie hath no neede of the sunne, neither of the moone to shine in it: for the glorie of God did light it: and the Lambe is the light of it.
Ule mji hauhitaji jua wala mwezi kuuangazia, kwa sababu utukufu wa Mungu ndio nuru yake na Mwana-Kondoo ndiye taa yake.
24 And the people which are saued, shall walke in the light of it: and the Kings of the earth shall bring their glorie and honour vnto it.
Mataifa yatatembea yakiangaziwa na nuru yake na wafalme wa duniani wataleta fahari yao ndani yake.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut by day: for there shalbe no night there.
Malango yake hayatafungwa kamwe, kwa maana hakutakuwa na usiku humo.
26 And the glorie, and honour of the Gentiles shall be brought vnto it.
Utukufu na heshima za mataifa zitaletwa humo.
27 And there shall enter into it none vncleane thing, neither whatsoeuer woorketh abomination or lies: but they which are written in ye Lambes booke of life.
Lakini kitu kichafu hakitaingia humo kamwe, wala mtu yeyote atendaye mambo ya aibu au ya udanganyifu. Bali watakaoingia humo ni wale tu ambao majina yao yameandikwa katika kitabu cha uzima cha Mwana-Kondoo.
