Revelation 21
1 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.
Te phoeiah vaan thai neh diklai thai ka hmuh. Lamhma kah vaan neh lamhma kah diklai tah khum coeng tih tuitunli om voel pawh.
2 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.
A cim kho thai Jerusalem te khaw a va ham aka rhuengphong tih aka thoeihcam vasakung bangla vaan Pathen taeng lamkah ha suntla te ka hmuh.
3 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.
Te vaengah ngolkhoel lamkah ol ue ka yaak. “Pathen kah dap tah hlang rhoek taengah om coeng ke. Te dongah amih taengah rhaeh vetih amih khaw a pilnam la om uh ni. Pathen amah khaw amih taengah om vetih amih kah Pathen la om ni.
4 [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.”
Te vaengah amih mik kah mikphi te boeih a huih vetih dueknah om voel mahpawh. Ngueknah neh rhungrhahnah, tlohtat om voel mahpawh. Lamhma kah aka om tah khum coeng.
5 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].”
Te vaengah ngolkhoel sokah aka ngol loh, “A cungkuem he a thai la ka saii coeng he,” a ti. Te phoeiah, “Hekah olka tah a uepom tih oltak la a om dongah daek lah,” a ti.
6 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].
Te phoeiah kai taengah ka coeng coeng. Kai tah Alpha neh Omega, hmapai neh hmakhap la ka om. Kai loh tui aka hal taengah hingnah tuisih lamkah tui te a yoe la ka paek ni.
7 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.
Aka noeng loh he he a pang ni. Te vaengah anih ham Pathen la ka om vetih anih khaw ka ca la om ni.
8 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 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].”
Te phoeiah bunang parhih aka pom puencawn parhih khuikah pakhat te ha pawk tih a hnukkhueng kah lucik parhih te muep hah. Te dongah kamah taengah a thui tih, “Halo lah, Tuca kah a yuu vasakung te nang kan tueng eh?,” a ti.
10 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.
Mueihla neh tlang puei tlang sang la kai n'khuen tih Jerusalem kho cim vaan Pathen taeng lamkah ha suntlak te kai n'tueng.
11 It was shining with his glory. The city was shining like a very precious jasper stone [shines, and] it was clear like crystal.
Pathen kah thangpomnah te a khueh. A aa tah lung vang phek la om tih maihae lung bangla cilrhik.
12 [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].
Pangbueng khaw a len neh a sang neh om tih vongka hlainit neh te vongka ah puencawn hlainit om. Te phoeiah te kah ming daek tangtae dongah Israel ca rhoek koca hlainit kah ming te om.
13 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].
Khothoeng ah thohka pathum om. Tlangpuei ah khaw thohka pathum, tuithim ah khaw thohka pathum, khotlak ah khaw thohka pathum om.
14 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.
Kho kah pangbueng tah khoengim hlainit om tih te rhoek dongah Tuca kah caeltueih rhoek hlainit kah ming hlainit te om.
15 The angel who was speaking to me carried a golden measuring rod, in order to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
Te phoeiah kai taengkah aka cal loh kho khaw, thohka neh pangbueng te nueh ham sui cungkui a pom.
16 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].
Khopuei tah hniboeng la om tih a yun neh a daang te vai uh rhoi. Kho te cungkui neh nueh hatah phalong thawng hlainit lo. A yun khaw, a daang khaw, a sang khaw vanat la om.
17 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].
Pangbueng te a nueh vaengah puencawn la aka om hlang kah cungnueh ah dong ya sawmli pali lo.
18 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.
Pangbueng saknah te maihae neh a sak. Khopuei tah sui cilh neh a sak tih hmaidan phek la cil.
19 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,
Khopuei pangbueng kah khoengim te lung vang cungkuem neh a thoeihcam. Khoengim lamhma te maihae, pabae te minhum, a pathum te rhohumlung, a pali te hingsuep lung,
20 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.
a panga te oitha, a parhuk te lungling, a parhih te tamsenlung, a parhet te tamkuei, a pako te vaya, a hlai te sungvalik, a hlaikaek te oithii, hlainit te cangullung neh a thoeihcam.
21 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.
Thohka hlainit te khaw laitha hlainit la om tih thohka pakhat rhip te laitha pakhat neh rhip om. Khopuei kah toltung khaw sui cilh la om tih hmaidan bangla cilrhik.
22 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.
Tloengkhoelh Pathen Boeipa neh Tuca tah a bawkim la a om coeng dongah a khuiah bawkim te ka hmuh moenih.
23 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.
Khopuei loh a vang ham khomik neh hla khaw ngoe pawh. Pathen kah thangpomnah neh Tuca kah hmaiim loh a tue coeng.
24 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].
Te vaengah Namtom rhoek tah, te kah vangnah dongah pongpa uh vetih diklai manghai rhoek loh amamih kah a thangpomnah te a khuila a khuen uh ni.
25 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.
Te vaengah a thohka loh a khaih hnin ti om loengloeng mahpawh. Te ah te khoyin om mahpawh.
26 The [people of the] world will also bring their wealth into the city to honor [God and the one who is like a lamb].
Namtom rhoek kah a thangpomnah neh hinyahnah te a khuila a khuen uh ni.
27 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.
Te phoeiah Tuca kah hingnah cayol khuiah a daek rhoek pawt atah a khuiah tanghnong boeih khaw, tueilaehnah aka saii khaw, laithae rhoek khaw kun uh loengloeng mahpawh.
