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.
Nipele nakuweni kwinani kwa sambano ni chilambo cha sambano. Pakuŵa kwinani kwaandanda ni chilambo cha ndanda ipiite, ni bahali nganijipagwa sooni.
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.
None nauweni musi wauswela, Yelusalemu ja sambano, uchitulukaga kutyochela kwinani kwa Akunnungu uli uŵichikwe chile, mpela mwali jwaulombela jwaŵichikwe chile kwa ŵankwakwe.
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.
Napilikene liloŵe lyekulungwa kutyochela pa chitengu cha umwenye lichitiji, “Nnole! Kumusi kwa Akunnungu kuli pasikati ja ŵandu! Nombewo chatame pasikati ja ŵanyawo nombe ŵanyawo chaaŵe ŵandu ŵakwe. Akunnungu asyene chatame nawo ni chaaŵe Akunnungu ŵao.
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.”
Ŵelewo chiŵasyule misosi jao jose. Chiwa ngachipagwa sooni, atamuno ngaipagwa ipetesi, atamuno kulila, atamuno masauko sooni, pakuŵa indu yose ya kalakala ipiite!”
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].”
Nipele jwakutama pa chitengu cha umwenye jula ŵaŵechete, “Nnole! Yose nguipanganya ya sambano.” Sooni ŵasalile, “Nnembe indu yi, pakuŵa aga maloŵe gali gakukulupilichika ni gasyene!”
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].
Nipele ŵasalile, “Gamasile! Une ndili Alufa ni Omega, yaani, Jwakuitandisya indu yose ni Jwakumalichisya indu yose. Jwakwete njota chinaape meesi ga kung'wa kutyochela mu uliŵa wa meesi ga umi pangali malipilo.
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.
Juchapunde chapochele gelega, ni une chime Akunnungu jwao, nombejo chaaŵe mwanangu.
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].”
Nipele jumo jwa achikatumetume ŵa kwinani saba jwali ni mbale saba syasigumbele iputiko saba ya mbesi ŵaiche ni kuusalila, “Njise! Ni une chinannosye mwali jwaulombela, ŵankwakwe Mwanangondolo.”
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.
Nipele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵanongwesye ni katumetume jwa kwinani jo ŵanyigele mpaka kuchikwesya chachileu. Ŵanosisye musi weswela yaani Yelusalemu uchitulukaga kutyochela kwinani kwa Akunnungu,
11 It was shining with his glory. The city was shining like a very precious jasper stone [shines, and] it was clear like crystal.
uching'alimaga kwa ukulu wa Akunnungu. Musi wo kung'alima kwakwe kukulandana ni lilanguka lya liganga lya ndalama jekulungwa lyalikuŵilanjikwa yaspi, lyalikuchenga mpela lindala.
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].
Sooni musi wo waliji ni likumba lyalileu ni lyalikulungwa, lilyaliji ni minango kumi na mbili, ni kila nnango umo wagosekwe ni katumetume jwa kwinani. Ni pachanya pa kila nnango palembekwe liina limo mwa meena ga ngosyo kumi na mbili sya ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli.
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].
Mbande syose syaliji ni minango jitatu, kulikukopoka lyuŵa kwana minango jitatu ni kumpoto kwana minango jitatu ni kulikutiŵila lyuŵa kwana minango jitatu ni kulujenda kwana minango jitatu.
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.
Likumba lya wele musi lyataŵikwe pachanya misingi ja maganga kumi na mbili ni pa misingi jo galembekwe meena ga achinduna kumi na mbili ŵa Mwanangondolo.
15 The angel who was speaking to me carried a golden measuring rod, in order to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
Katumetume jwa kwinani juŵaŵechetaga none ŵaliji ni chitela cha kupimila chachikolochekwe ni sahabu, kuti akombole kuupima musi ni minango jakwe ni makumba gakwe.
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].
Nipele musi ula waliji ni mbande ncheche syakulandana, uleu ni mapana gakwe yalandene, ŵaupimile musi ula kwa chitela chakwe, uleu ni wipi ni lisusa, mpela maili elufu moja na mia tano.
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].
Katumetume jwa kwinani jula ŵapimile likumba lya musi ula, lyaliji makono sitini kwa chipimo chiŵasyoŵelele ŵandu.
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.
Lyele likumba lyaliji litaŵikwe kwa maganga gamachejeu ga ndalama jekulungwa gagakuŵilanjikwa yasipi ni musi usyene waliji utaŵikwe ni sahabu jambone, jajikuchenga mpela lindala.
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,
Maganga gagataŵile nsingi wa likumba lyo kusyungula musi gakolochekwe ni maganga ga ndalama. Nsingi waandanda wataŵikwe kwa maganga gamachejeu gagali mpela maganga ga yasipi, ni nsingi waŵili waliji wa maganga ga safilo ni nsingi waatatu wa maganga ga kalikedoni ni nsingi waancheche wa maganga ga sumalidi,
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.
nsingi wa nsano waliji wa salidoniki ni nsingi wa sita waliji wa akiki ni nsingi wa saba waliji wa kilisolito ni nsingi wa nane waliji wa sabalajadi ni nsingi wa tisa waliji wa manjano ni nsingi wa kumi waliji wa kilisopiloso ni nsingi wa kumi na moja waliji wa yasinto ni nsingi wa kumi na mbili waliji wa ametisito.
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.
Ni minango jajikulungwa kumi na mbili jila, kila umo wakolochekwe kwa lulu jimo. Litala lyekulungwa lya musi lyakolochekwe kwa sahabu jambone jajikuchenga mpela lindala.
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.
Mmusi ula nganinajiwona Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, pakuŵa Ambuje Akunnungu ŵa Ukombole ni Mwanangondolo alinji pelepo, kwayele Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ngajikusachilwa.
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.
Nipele mu musi mo ngamukusachilwa lyuŵa liŵale atamuno lwesi, pakuŵa ukulu wa Akunnungu ukwalanguchisya kwa lumuli lwakwe lwaluli Mwanangondolo.
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].
Ŵandu ŵa ilambo chatame mu lyele lilanguka ni mamwenye ŵa ilambo yose chauichisye musi wo ukulu.
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.
Minango jekulungwa ja musi ula ngajiugalikwa kose, pakuŵa ngachipagwa chilo.
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].
Ŵandu wose ŵa ilambo chaiichisye ukulu ni luchimbichimbi mmusi mo.
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.
Nambo chachili chose chakunyakala ngachijinjila mwelemo ng'o, atamuno mundu jwalijose jwakuintendekanya yakuchima pane ya unami. Nambo chajinjile aŵala pe ŵaŵalembekwe meena gao mu chitabu cha umi cha Mwanangondolo.
