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.
Mgbe ahụ, ahụrụ m eluigwe ọhụrụ na ụwa ọhụrụ. Eluigwe nke mbụ na ụwa nke mbụ agabigala, osimiri adịghịkwa.
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.
Ahụkwara obodo nsọ ahụ bụ Jerusalem ọhụrụ ka o si nʼeluigwe ebe Chineke nọ na-arịdata. Ọ mara mma dịka nwaagbọghọ ejikwara nke ọma maka ịgakwuru di ya.
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.
Anụkwara m oke olu si nʼocheeze ahụ kwuo okwu sị, “Leenụ! Ebe obibi Chineke adịla ugbu a nʼetiti ụmụ mmadụ. Ọ ga-ebinyere ha. Ha ga-abụkwa ndị ya, nʼezie, Chineke nʼonwe ya ga-anọkwa nʼetiti ha bụrụkwa Chineke ha.
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.”
Ọ ga-ehichapụ anya mmiri niile dị nʼanya ha. Ọnwụ agaghị adịkwa ọzọ. Ọ bụladị iru ụjụ na ịkwa akwa na ahụhụ agaghị adịkwa. Ihe ndị ochie niile agabigala.”
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].”
Onye ahụ nọ nʼocheeze ahụ kwuru sị, “Lee, ana m eme ka ihe niile dị ọhụrụ.” Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịkwara, “Detuo ihe ndị a, nʼihi na okwu ndị a bụ ihe e kwesiri ịtụkwasị obi, bụrụkwa eziokwu.”
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].
Ọ sịrị m, “E mezuola ihe niile. Abụ m Alfa na Omega, Mmalite na Ọgwụgwụ. Aga m enye onye akpịrị na-akpọ nkụ mmiri nke si nʼisi iyi mmiri nke ndụ dịka ihe onyinye.
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.
Ndị ọbụla na-emeri emeri ga-enweta ihe nketa ndị a. Aga m abụkwa Chineke ha, ha onwe ha ga-abụ ụmụ m.
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)
Ma ndị na-atụ ụjọ, ndị na-ekweghị ekwe, na ndị na-emetọ onwe ha, na ndị ogbu mmadụ, na ndị na-akwa iko, na ndị ha na mmụọ ọjọọ na-akparịta ụka, na ndị na-ekpere arụsị, na ndị ụgha niile, ihe ha ga-eketa bụ ikpe ọmụma nke ịbanye nʼime olulu ahụ e ji nkume na-enwu ọkụ kwanye ọkụ. Nke bụ ọnwụ nke ugboro abụọ.” (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].”
Otu nʼime ndị mmụọ ozi asaa ahụ, nke ji efere asaa ahụ nke ihe ntaramahụhụ dị nʼime ya bịakwutere m sị m, “Soro m, ka m gosi gị nwaagbọghọ ahụ bụ nwunye Nwa Atụrụ ahụ.”
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.
O buuru m nʼime Mmụọ buga m nʼotu ugwu buru ibu nke ịdị elu ya dịkwa ukwuu. O gosiri m obodo nsọ ahụ bụ Jerusalem ka o si na mbara eluigwe ebe Chineke nọ na-arịdata.
11 It was shining with his glory. The city was shining like a very precious jasper stone [shines, and] it was clear like crystal.
O jupụtara nʼebube Chineke, na-enwu ma na-achakwa dịka nkume dịkarịsịrị oke ọnụahịa, dịka nkume jaspa, na-enwu dịka kristal.
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].
Mgbidi ya niile dị obosara dịkwa elu. O nwekwara ọnụ ụzọ iri na abụọ. Ọ bụkwa ndị mmụọ ozi iri na abụọ na-eche ọnụ ụzọ ndị a nche. E dekwara aha ebo iri na abụọ nke ụmụ Izrel nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ndị a nʼotu nʼotu.
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].
Ọnụ ụzọ ama atọ dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, atọ dị nʼakụkụ ugwu, atọ dị nʼakụkụ ndịda, ebe atọ dị nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ.
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.
Mgbidi ahụ nwere nkume iri na abụọ e ji tọọ ntọala ya. Nʼelu nkume ndị a nʼotu nʼotu ka e dere aha ndị ozi iri na abụọ nke Nwa Atụrụ ahụ.
15 The angel who was speaking to me carried a golden measuring rod, in order to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
Onye ahụ na-agwa m okwu ji osisi e ji atụ ihe, nke e ji ọlaedo mee, nʼaka ya. O ji ya tụọ obodo ahụ na ọnụ ụzọ ama ya, na mgbidi ya.
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].
Nʼobodo ahụ, enweghị otu akụkụ nʼime akụkụ anọ nke mgbidi ya karịrị ibe ya. Ogologo ya na obodobo ya ha otu. O ji ihe ọtụtụ tụọ ya, ogologo ya na obodobo nakwa ịdị elu ya ha, ọtụtụ ya dị puku kilomita abụọ na narị kilomita abụọ.
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].
Ọ tụkwara ịdị igbidi nke mgbidi ahụ chọpụta na ọ dị narị nzọ ụkwụ atọ, dịka ihe ọtụtụ nke mmụọ ozi ahụ si gụpụta.
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.
Ihe e ji rụọ mgbidi ya bụ nkume dị oke ọnụahịa a na-akpọ jaspa, jiri ezi ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha, nke na-enwu dịka enyo dị ọcha rụọ obodo ahụ.
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,
E ji nkume niile dị oke ọnụahịa chọọ ntọala mgbidi obodo ahụ mma. Ntọala nke mbụ, bụ nkume a na-akpọ jaspa, ntọala nke abụọ, nkume a na-akpọ safaia, ntọala nke atọ, nkume a na-akpọ kaldoni, nke anọ, nkume a na-akpọ emeralụdụ,
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.
nke ise, nkume a na-akpọ ọniks, nke isii, nkume a na-akpọ kanelian, nke asaa, nkume a na-akpọ krisolaịt, nke asatọ, nkume a na-akpọ beril, nke itoolu, nkume a na-akpọ topaazi, nke iri, nkume a na-akpọ krisoprez, nke iri na otu, nkume a na-akpọ jasint, nke iri na abụọ, nkume a na-akpọ ametisiti.
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.
Ọnụ ụzọ ama iri na abụọ ahụ bụ pieal iri na abụọ, ọnụ ụzọ ama ọbụla ka e ji otu nkume pieal rụọ nʼotu nʼotu. Ihe e ji rụọ okporoụzọ dị nʼobodo ahụ bụ naanị ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha ọbụla, nke dị ọcha dịka enyo e hichaziri nke ọma.
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.
O nweghị ụlọnsọ ukwu ọbụla m hụrụ nʼime obodo ahụ nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na Nwa Atụrụ ahụ bụ ụlọnsọ ukwu obodo ahụ nwere.
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.
Ọ dịkwaghị mkpa ọ dịrị obodo ahụ ka anwụ maọbụ ọnwa mụkwasị ya, nʼihi na ebube nke Chineke bụ ìhè ya, oriọna ya bụkwa Nwa atụrụ ahụ.
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].
Mba niile ga-eji ìhè ya jegharịa. Ndị eze ụwa niile ga-abịakwa webata ebube ha nʼime ya.
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.
A naghị emechi ọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ emechi. Ha na-eghe oghe ụbọchị niile nʼihi abalị ọbụla adịghịkwa nʼebe ahụ.
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].
Ebube na nsọpụrụ nke mba niile ka a ga-ewebata nʼime ya.
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.
Ọ dịkwaghị ihe ọbụla rụrụ arụ ga-abata nʼime ya. Otu a kwa, ọ dịkwaghị onye na-eme ihe arụ, maọbụ onye ụgha ga-abata nʼime ya, kama ọ bụ naanị ndị ahụ e dere aha ha nʼakwụkwọ nke ndụ Nwa Atụrụ ahụ.
