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].
Shesho ontumi wandanga isoho elyemenze ege womi, amenze gali galabha nashi ebilauli. Gali afuma witengo elyeshimwene elya Ngolobhe na eshe Mwana Ngole.
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
Ashilile pahati piboma. Shila mshenje wisoho mwali nikwi elye womi, wawupapa ehaina ilongo na gabhele enzye mandondo, nakapupa shila mwezi. Amajani egikwi kwajili ya ponye we mataifa.
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.
Wala sepabhabhe namakhosi nantele. Itengo elyeshimwene elya Ngolobhe nelya Mwana Ngole libhabhe mhati eyemenze na asontozo bhakwe bhabhasontezewe.
4 They will see him face-to-face, and his name will be [written] {[he] will [write] his name} on their foreheads.
Bhayihulola pamaso na pa maso nanitawa lyakwe libhabhe pamwanya pamonji na maso gabho.
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)
Sepaibha nosiku nantele; wala sepaibha na amahitaji egemwanga owetaala olwenje isanya husababu ya Gosi Ongolobhe ailavya pamwanya yabho bhape bhaitawala hani hani. (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.”
Ontumi wambozia, “Amazu ega gahwaminishe neloli. Ogosi Ongolobhe owe Mpepo ezia kuwa atumwilwe ontumi wakwe abhalanje asontezo bhakwe hahaibhoneha eshinanali.”
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.”
“Enya! Ewenza nanali! Abalikiwe yagogopa amazu gakuwa oweshitabu eshi.”
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.
Awe, ne Yohana nengovwezye nagalolole amambo ega nehagovwa na galolele, nagwiye pansi nene pitagalila pamanama aga ntumi ahupute, ontumi yandanjile amambo ega.
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!”
Wambozia, “Osabhombe esho! Nane endisontezo nashi awe pandwemo na aholo bhahho asontezo, pandwemo nabhawogopa amazu ega egeshitabu eshi. Putaji Ongolobhe!”
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].
Osaga, “Khome omhuri amazu agakuwa weshitabu eshi, maana ewakati upalamie.
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.”
Yashele sewe haki, ayedelelaje abhesewe haki. Yashele chafu eshe madili, na ayendelelaje abhechafu eshe madili. Owe haki. Ayendelele abhe haki yali takatifu, ayendelele abhe takatifu.”
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.
“Enya! Ewenza nanali. Ne mposhezo zyane zilipandwemo nane, ahuposhezye shila omo alengane ne mbombo ya bhombile.
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].
Ane endi Alfa na Omega, wa Hwande na wa Malishilo, Wawande na Wamalishilo.
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.
Bhabalikiwe bhala bhabhawoziwa amenda gabho aje bhapate ehaki eyalye afume hwikwi elye womi nahwinjile hwiboma ashilile humandyango.
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].”
Hwonze huli embwa, abhitenga, amalaya, bhabhagoga, bhabhaputa esanamu, shila yagana nayashudila eshahidi owilenka.
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].”
Ane, ne Yesu, etumile ontumi wane abhashudile ahusu amambo ega huu makanisa. Aneendi malaya humpapo ya Daudi, Entondwe eya Sapwiti yehwaha.”
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!
Ompepo no bibi arusi ayanga, “Enzi!” Na omwene yatejelezyo ayanje, “Enzii!” Yayonti ya neshomela, na ayenze, yayonti yatiliha apate amenze ege womi wene.
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.
Ehusalifya shila mntu yahovwa amazu ya kuwa weshitabu eshi: Kama yeyote ataongeza katika hayo, Mungu atamuongezea mapigo yaliyoandikwa katika kitabu hiki.
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.”
Nkashele omntu yoyonte abhawefye amazu aga mshitabu eshi esha ukuwa, Ongolobhe ayefya esehemu yakwe mwikwi elya womi na hwiboma ilinza, lyashele enongwa zyakwe zisimbilwe mhati yeshitabu eshi.
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!”
Oyo yashuhudila amambo ega ayanga, “Ena! Ewenza nanali.” Ena! Enza, Ogosi oYesu!
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!)
Emposhelo ya Gosi oYesu ibhe na shila mntu lyoli. Amina.
