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.
Van thak le lei thak ka mu hi: banghangziam cile amasa lei le van te bo zo a; tuipi zong om nawn ngawl hi.
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.
Khuapi thiangtho, Jerusalem thak sia a pasal atu a kipua khol monu bang in Pathian kung, vantung pan a tuaksuk, keima John in ka mu hi.
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.
Taciang van pan in aw ngingtak taw hibang in ci hi, En vun, Pathian i biakbuk sia mihing te tung ah om a, Ama sia mihing te taw om tu hi, amate sia Pathian i mihing te hi tu uh a, Pathian Ama tatak in a mite ompui in, amate i Pathian hi tu hi.
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.”
Pathian in thitui te sia amate i mit pan in nawlsak tu hi; taciang thina, he na, kaa na le natna te om nawn ngawl tu a: a lui theampo bo siat tu hi.
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].”
Kumpi tokhum tung ah a to pa in, En vun, na theampo a thak in ka vawt hi, ci hi. Taciang, hi thu te sia a maan le thutang a hikom, at in: hong ci hi.
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].
Taciang Ama in, ki man zo hi. Keima sia Alpha le Omega, a kipatna le a tawpna ka hihi. A dangtak te nuntakna ciktui a thong in ka pia tu hi, hong ci hi.
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.
Zawna a nga peuma in na theampo ngamh in lua tu hi; taciang keima sia ama i Pathian ka hi tu a, ama sia ka tapa hi tu hi.
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].”
A khakbel ngimna sali taw a dim kuang sali a toai vantungmi sali sung pan khat ka kung ah hongpai in hong paupui hi, Himun ah hongpai tan, monu a kici Tuuno i zi kong lak tu hi, hong ci hi.
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.
Taciang mualsang lian mama omna mun sang ah thaa in hong paipui a, khuapi le a thiangtho Jerusalem sia, Pathian kung van pan a tuaksuk hong lak hi,
11 It was shining with his glory. The city was shining like a very precious jasper stone [shines, and] it was clear like crystal.
Tua khuapi sia Pathian minthanna taw kidim hi: a khuavak zong suang manphabel jasper suang bang hi a, limlang bang in thiang hi;
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].
Taciang khuapi luphung sang mama le a thupi mama zong om hi, kongpi zong sawm le ni nei a, tua kongpi teng sawmleni tung ah vantungmi sawm le ni om hi, taciang Israel minam sawm le ni te i min te sia kongpi te tung ah ki at hi:
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].
Nisuana sang ah kongpi thum; saksang ah thum; thangsang ah thum le nitumna sang ah thum om hi.
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.
Taciang khuapi luphung ah phungkawng sawm le ni om a, Tuuno i sawltak sawm le ni te i min ki at hi.
15 The angel who was speaking to me carried a golden measuring rod, in order to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
Keima hong paupui sia in khuapi, a kongpi te le luphung te natu in kham phaikung nei hi.
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].
Hi khuapi sia king li nei a, a sauna le a zaina kibang hi: taciang ama in khuapi sia phaikung taw a te ciang in, tai tulkhat le tai za nga pha hi. A sauna, a zaina le a sanna sia kibang siat hi.
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].
Ama in luphung a te ciang in, tong za le sawm li le li sa a, mihing te i te bangma in vantungmi in te hi.
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.
Luphung sia jasper suang manpha taw kiciang hi: taciang khuapi sia kham thiang taw sa a, limlang bang in thiang sitset hi.
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,
Hi khuapi luphung i nuai ah luphung tawdap te sia suang manpha namcin taw kizeam hi. a khat na tawdap sia jasper; a ni na sia sapphire; a thum na sia chalcedony; a li na sia emerald;
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 nga na sia sardonyx; a luk na sia sardius; a sali na sia chrysolite; a liat na sia beryl; a kua na sia topaz, a sawm na sia chrysoprasus; a sawm le khat na sia jacinth; a sawm le ni na sia amethyst a hihi.
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.
Kongpi khatsim sia pale taw hi a; kongpi a vekpi in pale hi siat hi: khuapi sung lampi sia kham thiang hi a, limlang bang in ki mu thei liang hi.
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.
Hi khuapi sung ah biakinn ka mu bua hi: banghangziam cile Topa, na theampo hi thei Pathian le Tuuno te sia tua khuapi i biakinn a hihi.
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.
Hi khuapi khuavaksak tu in ni le tha te kisam ngawl hi: banghangziam cile Pathian i minthanna in khuavaksak a, Tuuno sia hi khuapi atu in meivak a hihi.
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].
Minam theampo sung pan ngupna nga te sia hi khuavak sung ah om tu uh hi: leitung kumpi te zong amate minthanna le upatna te keng tek uh hi.
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.
Tua kongpi te sia sun ciang zong ki khak ngawl tu hi: banghangziam cile tua mun ah zan om ngawl tu hi.
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].
Minam theampo in amate minthanna le upatna te sia tua khuapi sung ah keng tek uh hi.
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.
A niin te, a lipkhaphuai a vawt te le leilot thu son te kuama a sung ah tum thei ngawl tu a: Tuuno i nuntakna laibu sung ah min a ki at te bek tum thei tu hi.
