< Revelation 21 >

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
Mpawo ndakabona ijulu pya enyika mpya, nkambo ijulu lyakutanguna anyika yakusanguna zyakali zyfwa, alwizi telwakachiliwo.
2 I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, that came down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
Ndakabona dolopo usalede iJelusalema impya, ilyakeza aansi kuzwa kujulu kuli Leza kalibambidwe mbuli mwinga mbabambila mulumi wakwe.
3 I heard a great voice from the throne saying, “Look! The dwelling place of God is with human beings, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and he will be their God.
Ndakamvwa ijwi pati lizwa kuchuno chabulemu kaliti, “Boona! ibusena bwachikkalilo cha Leza buli mubantu, alimwi uyokkala ambabo. Byaoba bantu bakwe alimwi Leza lwakwe uyoba ambaabo alimwi uyoba Leza wabo.
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, or grieving, or crying, or pain. The former things have passed away.
Uyosiinda misozi yonseni kumenso aabo, alimwi takuchikabi lufu, kana kuusa, kana kulila, naba machise. Izintu zyechiindi zyamana.
5 The one who was seated on the throne said, “Look! I make all things new.” He said, “Write this down because these words are trustworthy and true.”
Ooyo iwakakkede achuno chabwami wakati, “Boona! Ndichita zintu zyonse kuti zibe zipya.” Wakati, “Lemba zintu eezi aansi nkambo aaya majwi alasyomeka alimwimi ngakasimpe.”
6 He said to me, “These things are done! I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. To the one who thirsts I will give drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.
Wakandaambila kuti eezi zintu zyayinda! Ndendime Alufa a Omega, imatalikilo amagozezyo. Kuli ooyo uumvwa nyota, ndinomupa chakunywa kakutakwe muulo kuzwa kukasensa kamaanzi abuumi.
7 The one who conquers will inherit these things, and I will be his God, and he will be my son.
Ooyo uzunda uyokkona zintu eezi, alimwi ndiyoba Leza wakwe, alimwi uyoba mwana wangu.
8 But as for the cowards, the faithless, the detestable, the murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. That is the second death.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
Pesi kuli abo bayowa, batakwe lusyomo, abazumina masunko, abajayi abasibwamu, bakomba zikozyanisyo, ababeji boonse, busena bwabo buyooba kubbibi pati lyamulilo uuyaka. Oolo ndolufu lwabili.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
9 One of the seven angels came to me, the one who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and he said, “Come here. I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
Umwi wangilozi izili musanu azibili, wakeza kuli ndime, oyo wakajisi insoosa zili musanu azibili izyakajisi michelo yamelelezyo ilimusanu azibili, alimwi wakati, “Kweza okuno! ndilakutondezya bwiinga, imukayintu wa Mwana wa Mbelele.
10 Then he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God.
Mpawo wakandibweza mumuunda wanditola kuchilundu ichipati chilamfu akuyonditondezya dolopo usalala Jelusalemu kaliza aansi kuzwa kujulu kuli Leza.
11 Jerusalem had the glory of God, and its brilliance was like a very precious jewel, like a stone of crystal-clear jasper.
Jelusalemu yali abulemu bwa Leza, alimwi ibwebeesi bwayo bwali mbuli inchooko mbotu loko, mbuli ibbwe lyachimpanzi cha jasipa injoloma.
12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
Yali abupati, ibulambo bulamfu buli amilyango ili kkumi ayibili, kakuli zyooko zili kkumi azibili kumilyango. Amilyango kwakali lembedwe imazina alikkumi aabili aamisyobo yabana ba Izilayeli.
13 On the east were three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
Kubuzwezuba kwakali milyango yotatwe, kumbo kwakali milyango yotatwe, kunsi kwakali milyango itaatu alimwi, akububbila kwakali milyango yotatwe.
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Ibulambo bwalubaya bwadolopo bwakali antalisyo zili kkumi azibili, alimwi antalisyo kwakali mazina aali kkumi aabili abasikwiiya ba Mwana wa Mbelele.
15 The one who spoke with me had a measuring rod made of gold to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
Ooyo wakaambuula andime wakajisi mweelo wakabulo kangolida wakweela idolopo, amilyango yalyo, abulambo bwalyo.
16 The city was laid out in a square; its length was the same as its width. He measured the city with the measuring rod, twelve thousand stadia in length (its length, width, and height were the same).
Idolopo lyakali tendebete bwelene mabbazu woonse, bulamfu bwalyo bwakalelene abwiinge bwalyo. Wakeela idolopo amweelo wakabulo, izyuulu ikkumi azibili zya sitadiya kumweelo wabulamfu ( bulamfu bwalyo, bwanda, abwiime mujulu zyakalelelene).
17 He also measured its wall, 144 cubits thick by human measurement (which is also the angel's measure).
Wakeela alimwi ibwanda bwawo, wajana kuti buli azikokola zili mwanda amakumi aane azine, mbuli mumwelo wabuntu (kakuli alubo ngumweelo wendangilo).
18 The wall was built of jasper and the city of pure gold, like clear glass.
Bulambo bwakayakidwe ajasipa alimwimidolopo lyakayakidwe aangolide lwayolwayo, mbuli bunjoloma bbalabala.
19 The foundations of the wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first was jasper, the second was sapphire, the third was agate, the fourth was emerald,
Intalisyo zyabulambo zyakali bambikene abubotu bwamisyobo yoonse yamabwe mebeesi. Itaanzi yakali jasipa, lyabili lyakali safile, lyatatu lyakali ageti, lyaane lyakali emaludi. Lyasanu lyakali Onikisi,
20 the fifth was onyx, the sixth was carnelian, the seventh was chrysolite, the eighth was beryl, the ninth was topaz, the tenth was chrysoprase, the eleventh was jacinth, and the twelfth was amethyst.
lyamusanu alimwi lyakali koneliyeni, lyamusanu aabili lyakali kilayisolayiti, lyamusanu aane lyakali tofazi, alyekkumi lyakali kilayisofelusi, lyakkumi alimwi lyakali jasiniti, alyakkumi aabili lyakali ametiyisiti
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls; each of the gates was made from a single pearl. The streets of the city were pure gold, like transparent glass.
Milyango ilikumi ayibili yakali ma piyeluzi aali kkumi aabili umwi awumwi mulyango wakabambidwe apiyeluzi yomwe. Migwagwa yedolopo yakali ngolida lwayo lwayo, mbuli bbalabal libalangala.
22 I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
Tendakabona chikombelo pe mudolopo, nkambo i Mwami Leza mupati kampatila a Mwana wa Mbelele mbabo chikombelo chedolopo.
23 The city had no need of the sun or the moon in order to shine on it because the glory of God shone on it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Idolopo telyakali kuyanda kumunikwa aazuba kana mweezi pe nkambo busalali bwakali kumweka aalindilyo, alimwi itunga mulilo lyayo ngu Mwana waMbelele.
24 The nations will walk by the light of that city. The kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.
Imanyika anoyoyenda amumuni wadolopo eelyo. Ibaami baansi bayoyeta bulemu bwabo muli ndilyo.
25 Its gates will not be shut during the day, and there will be no night there.
Milyango yalyo tayikoyojalwa pe chiindi chesikati, alimwi takukoyooba mansiku pe ooko.
26 They will bring the splendor and the honor of the nations into it,
Bayoyeta ibulumbu abulemu bwamanyika muli ndilyo.
27 but nothing unclean will ever enter into it, nor anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
Pesi takwe chisofweede pe chiyofwa chanjila muli ndilyo, nikuba umwi muntu uuchita chamasunko nakuti chakweneena, pesi aabo biyo bali amazina aalembedwe mubbuku lya Buumi lya Mamwana wa Mbelele.
