Revelation 22
1 The angel showed me the river of water [that causes people who drink from it] to live [forever]. The water was sparkling and clear like crystal. The river was flowing out from the throne where God and the [one who is like a] lamb [were sitting].
Linu iñiloi chi lyanitondeza iwate lya menzi a buhalo, a chena ulu kristale. Ibali kububa kuzwa ku mushukwe wa Ireeza ni ku e Ngunyana
2 It flowed down through the middle of the [main] street of the city. On each side of the river were trees [bearing fruit that causes people who eat it] to live forever. [The trees] bear twelve [crops] (OR, twelve [kinds]) of fruit; [they] produce one crop each month. The [people of the] nations [MTY] [use] the leaves of these trees [as medicine] in order that they may feel stronger
mukati ke tolopo. Ku mabbali onse o lwizi kubena isamu lya buhalo, libikite mifuta ya miselo itenda ikumi ni tobele, imi libika iyo miselo mwezi ni mwezi. Makoba e samu a kuhozisa inkanda.
3 There will never be [anyone or anything there that God] will be [under God’s] curse. The throne of God and the [one who is like a] lamb will be in the city. And God’s servants will worship him there.
Kete ni kube ni kukutwa hape. Lubona lwa Ireeza ni lwe ingunyana kalube mwi tolopo, imi bahikana bakwe muba musebeleze.
4 They will see him face-to-face, and his name will be [written] {[he] will [write] his name} on their foreheads.
Mubabone chifateho chakwe, imi izina lyakwe muliñolwe he mpata zabo.
5 There will never again be night. [God’s servants] will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine his light upon them. And they will rule forever. (aiōn g165)
Kete ni kube ni masiku hape; kete nikube ni ntuso ye seli lye ngunyana kapa iseli lye zuba kakuti Simwine Ireeza mwa ba benyeze. Muba buse kuya kusa mani. (aiōn g165)
6 The angel said to me: “These words that [God has revealed to you] are true, and he will certainly do what he has promised to do. The Lord God who ([inspires] the prophets/tells the prophets what to say) sent his angel to show the people who serve him the events that must happen soon.”
Iñiloi chinya wamba kwangu, “Aa manzwi asepahala imi e niti. Simwine, Ireeza we inhunho zama polofita, abatumi iñiloi lyakwe li kabonise ba hikana bakwe chiswanela ku pangahala hahanu.”
7 [Jesus says to all his people], “Listen [to] this! I am coming soon; [God will abundantly] bless everyone who obeys what [has been commanded] in this book.”
“Bone! Nikezite hahanu! yo fuyoletwe njozo yo kuteka manzwi atanikizwe mweyi imbuka.
8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw [in a vision] these things [that I have written down]. When I had heard and seen [them], I immediately knelt down at the feet of the angel who was showing them to me, in order to worship him.
Ime, Johani, njeme niba zuwi ni kubona izi zintu. hani zuwa ni kuzibona, china lala hanzi habusu bwa matende e iñiloi ku mulumbeka, iñiloi liba ni tondezi izi zintu.
9 But he said to me, “Do not [worship me] I am [just] your fellow servant! I am also the fellow servant of your fellow believers who are (the prophets/the ones who tell messages that come directly from God), and I am a fellow servant of those who obey what has been commanded in this book. [Instead], worship God!”
Chi lyawamba kwangu, “Sanzi uchiti bulyo! name niwa bamwi bahikana nina nanwe niba kwenu ba polofita nabana bakuteka manzwi ena mweyi imbuka. lumbeke Ireeza!”
10 He also said to me, “Do not keep secret the message about what [God] has foretold in this book, because it is almost time [MTY] for him to [what he has promised to do in this message].
Cha wamba kwangu, “Sanzi upangi i nkunutu manzwi a atanikizwe mweyi imbuka, inako ina hafuhi.
11 [Since that time is near, if] those who act in an evil manner [want to] continue to act that way [IRO], [that is up to them. God will soon] ([pay them back/punish them]) [for that. If] those who are vile [want to] continue to be vile [IRO], [that is up to them. God will soon] ([pay them back/punish them]) [for that]. Those who are [acting] righteously should continue to act righteously. And those who are holy should continue to be holy.”
Iye yasa shiyeme. mumusiye azwile habusu nikupanga zisa shiyeme. Iye yopanga busangu bubi, mumusiye azwile habusu ni busangu bubi. Iye yo shiyeme, mumu siye azwile habusu niku tenda zishiyeme. Iye yo jolola, mumu siye azwile habusu niku jolola.”
12 [Jesus says this to everyone]: “Listen! I am coming soon! And I will pay back everyone according to what each one has done, by [punishing or] rewarding them.
“Bone! Nikeza chakuhwela. Imi mupuzo wangu wina name, kuliha zumwi ni zumwi chakuya ba mwa batendeli.
13 I [am] the one who began all things [MET] and the one who will cause all things to end [MET]. I existed before [all things existed] and I will exist at the end [of all things] [DOU].
Njime alfa ni omega, kubusu ni kumasule, intanzi ni ma manimani.
14 [God] is very pleased with the people who wash their robes, [making themselves spiritually clean] [MET], because they will be able to [eat the fruit of] [MTY] the tree [that enables people] to live [forever], and because they will [be able] to enter the gates into the [holy] city.
Bafuyoletwe njabo bashanza minganjo yabo ili kuti babe ni intukelo ya kulya kwi samu lyabuhalo imi ni kwi njila mwitolopo cha mulyango.
15 [People who are unholy] will not be allowed to enter the city. They include people who practice sorcery, people who sin sexually, murderers, idol worshipers, and everyone who enjoys telling lies and are continual liars. [They can never enter that city].”
Hanze kwina bambwa, balozi, basangu, behayi, bamaswaniso, imi ni bonse basaka niku tenda mitendo isena buniti.
16 “I, Jesus, sent my angel in order that he might tell you who are in the congregations [that all] these things [that have been said are true]. I am the descendant of [King] David [whom the prophets promised would come] [MET]. I am the [one who is like] the bright morning star [MET], the one [that Moses promised would come].”
Jesu, nibatumi iñiloi lyangu kuha bupaki kwenu kuamana izi zintu che inkeleke. Njime ni muhisi ni isika lya Dafita, inkani i benya ya kuseni.”
17 [God’s] Spirit and [his people, who are like] [MET] the bride [of Christ], say [to each one who desires to believe], “Come!” Whoever hears [this] should also say [to each one who desires to believe], “Come!” [Spiritually thirsty people should come] [MET]! Everyone who desires the water [that enables people to] live [forever] should take it as a free gift!
Luhuho ni Musesiwa ziti, “Wize” Siye uzo yo zuwa ati, “Wize!” Yense yo fwile inyotwa, musiye eze, imi yense yo ilakaza, umusiye awane menzi abuhalo nikusena intifo.
18 “I, [Jesus, solemnly] warn everyone who hears what [I] have foretold in this book: If anyone adds anything to this message, God will cause him to experience the plagues that are {that [I] have} described in this book.
Niha bupaki kubonse ba zuwa manzwi e chi polofita cheyi imbuka: Heiba zumwi mwawekeze kuali, Ireeza kawekeze kwali inkoto zi ñoletwe kuamana ni mweyi imbuka.
19 If anyone omits any of the message about what [I] have foretold in this book, God will take away that person’s right [to eat fruit from] [MTY] the tree [that enables people] to live [forever]. He [will also take away] that person’s right [to enter] God’s city. [Both these things] are described {[I] have described [both these things]} in this book.”
Heiba zumwi uzwisa mu manzwi amweyi imbuka ya chipolofita, Ireeza kazwise inkabelo yakwe mwisamu lya buhalo imi ni mwitolopo ijololwa ziñoletwe kuamana mweyi imbuka.
20 [Jesus], who says that [all] the things written here are true, says, “Certainly I am coming soon!” [I, John, reply], “(May it be so!/Amen!) Lord Jesus, come!”
Iye yoha bupaki kwezi zintu uti, “Eee! Nikeza chokuhwela.” Amen! Wize, Simwine Jesu!
21 [I pray that our] Lord Jesus [will continue to] act kindly to all [of you who are God’s people]. (Amen!/May it be so!)
Imi musa wa Simwine Jesu ube ni zumwi ni zumwi. Amen.
