< Revelation 21 >
1 And I saw a new Heaven and a new earth; for the first Heaven and the first earth were gone, and the sea no longer exists.
Mpawo ndakabona ijulu pya enyika mpya, nkambo ijulu lyakutanguna anyika yakusanguna zyakali zyfwa, alwizi telwakachiliwo.
2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God and made ready like a bride attired to meet her husband.
Ndakabona dolopo usalede iJelusalema impya, ilyakeza aansi kuzwa kujulu kuli Leza kalibambidwe mbuli mwinga mbabambila mulumi wakwe.
3 And I heard a loud voice, which came from the throne, say, "God's dwelling place is among men and He will dwell among them and they shall be His peoples. Yes, God Himself will be among them.
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 every tear from their eyes. Death shall be no more; nor sorrow, nor wail of woe, nor pain; for the first things have passed away."
Uyosiinda misozi yonseni kumenso aabo, alimwi takuchikabi lufu, kana kuusa, kana kulila, naba machise. Izintu zyechiindi zyamana.
5 Then He who was seated on the throne said, "I am re-creating all things." And He added, "Write down these words, for they 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 also said, "They have now been fulfilled. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To those who are thirsty I will give the privilege of drinking from the well of the Water of Life without payment.
Wakandaambila kuti eezi zintu zyayinda! Ndendime Alufa a Omega, imatalikilo amagozezyo. Kuli ooyo uumvwa nyota, ndinomupa chakunywa kakutakwe muulo kuzwa kukasensa kamaanzi abuumi.
7 All this shall be the heritage of him who overcomes, and I will be his God and he shall be one of My sons.
Ooyo uzunda uyokkona zintu eezi, alimwi ndiyoba Leza wakwe, alimwi uyoba mwana wangu.
8 But as for cowards and the unfaithful, and the polluted, and murderers, fornicators, and those who practise magic or worship idols, and all liars--the portion allotted to them shall be in the Lake which burns with fire and sulphur. This is the Second Death." (Limnē Pyr )
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 )
9 Then there came one of the seven angels who were carrying the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues. "Come with me," he said, "and I will show you the Bride, the Lamb's wife."
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 So in the Spirit he carried me to the top of a vast, lofty 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 and bringing with it the glory of God. It shone with a radiance like that of a very precious stone--such as a jasper, bright and transparent.
Jelusalemu yali abulemu bwa Leza, alimwi ibwebeesi bwayo bwali mbuli inchooko mbotu loko, mbuli ibbwe lyachimpanzi cha jasipa injoloma.
12 It has a wall, massive and high, with twelve large gates, and in charge of the gates were twelve angels. And overhead, above the gates, names were inscribed which are those of the twelve tribes of the descendants 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 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.
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 foundation stones, and engraved upon them were twelve names--the 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 Now he who was speaking to me had a measuring-rod of gold, with which to measure the city and its gates and its wall.
Ooyo wakaambuula andime wakajisi mweelo wakabulo kangolida wakweela idolopo, amilyango yalyo, abulambo bwalyo.
16 The plan of the city is a square, the length being the same as the breadth; and he measured the city furlong by furlong, with his measuring rod--it is twelve hundred miles long, and the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
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 And he measured the wall of it--a wall of a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to human measure, which was also that of the angel.
Wakeela alimwi ibwanda bwawo, wajana kuti buli azikokola zili mwanda amakumi aane azine, mbuli mumwelo wabuntu (kakuli alubo ngumweelo wendangilo).
18 The solid fabric of the wall was jasper; and the city itself was made of gold, resembling transparent glass.
Bulambo bwakayakidwe ajasipa alimwimidolopo lyakayakidwe aangolide lwayolwayo, mbuli bunjoloma bbalabala.
19 As for the foundation-stones of the city wall, which were beautified with various kinds of precious stones, the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius,
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 seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth 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 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each of them consisting of a single pearl. And the main street of the city was made of pure gold, resembling 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 sanctuary in the city, for the Lord God, the Ruler of all, is its Sanctuary, and so is the Lamb.
Tendakabona chikombelo pe mudolopo, nkambo i Mwami Leza mupati kampatila a Mwana wa Mbelele mbabo chikombelo chedolopo.
23 Nor has the city any need of the sun or of the moon, to give it light; for the glory of God has shone upon 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 live their lives by its light; and the kings of the earth are to bring their glory into it.
Imanyika anoyoyenda amumuni wadolopo eelyo. Ibaami baansi bayoyeta bulemu bwabo muli ndilyo.
25 And in the daytime (for there will be no night there) the gates will never be closed;
Milyango yalyo tayikoyojalwa pe chiindi chesikati, alimwi takukoyooba mansiku pe ooko.
26 and the glory and honor of the nations shall be brought into it.
Bayoyeta ibulumbu abulemu bwamanyika muli ndilyo.
27 And no unclean thing shall ever enter it, nor any one who is guilty of base conduct or tells lies, but only they whose names stand recorded 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.
