Insinulo 21
1 Linu chinabona iwulu ihya ni nikanda inhya, mukuti iwulu lyetanzi ni inkanda lyetanzi zibamani, imi kana kubasina iwate.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea exists no more.
2 Chinabona muleneñi, Jerusalema muhya, kuti chilizwa mukati kewulu kuzwa kwe Ireeza, yolibakanya sina museswa yolilotuseza muhyabwe.
And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Nibazuwi inzwi inkando lizwa hachihuna licho, “Bone! Chibaka chabwikalo bwa Ireeza chinakubantu, imi mwahale nabo. Kababe bantu bakwe, imi Ireeza iyemwine kabenabo imi kabe Ireeza wabo.
And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their God.
4 Kasinde zisonzi zonse mumenso abo, imi kese nikube nifu, kapa kubilayela, kapa kulila, kapa kuchiswa. Zintu zakale zibahiti.
And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any more, for the former things have passed away.
5 Yabakele hachihuna chati, “Bone! Nipanga zintu zonse buhya,” Nati, “Ñole izi hansi kakuli aa manzwi asakusima ni buniti.”
And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says [to me], Write, for these words are true and faithful.
6 Chati kwangu, “Izi zintu chizamana! Njime wetanzi ni wamamani mani, wa matanginzo ni wa mamaninizo. Yofwile innyotwa kanimuhe chakunywa nikusena chaliha kuzwa muchisima chamenzi abuhalo.
And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 Yetanazunde kayole izi zintu, imi Kanibe Ireeza wakwe, imi kabe mwan'a ngu.
He that overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be to him God, and he shall be to me son.
9 Limwi kumañiloi atenda iyanza in obele chilyeza kwangu, limwi libakukwete tuhambwe twizwile inziyezi zikwana iyanza nitobele, imi chati, “Wize kunu. Munikutondeze museswa, mwihyabwe we Mbelele.”
And there came one of the seven angels which had had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 Linu chanitwala Muluhuho helundu inkando liwumbukite imi nikunitondeza muleneñi uchenete wa Jerusalema niukazwa kwiwulu kwe Ireeza kwiza hansi.
And he carried me away in [the] Spirit, [and set me] on a great and high mountain, and shewed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,
11 Jerusalema ibene ikanya ya Ireeza, imi iseli lyateni libenya sina ibwe lyabutokwa, sina ibwe lyajaspe libelela sina kristal.
having the glory of God. Her shining [was] like a most precious stone, as a crystal-like jasper stone;
12 Ubikitwe mulukwakwa lukando lule kwina milyango ikwana ikumi ni yobele, ni mañiloi akwana ikumi niwobele. Imi hamilwango habañoletwe mazina abana ba Isilaele akwana ikumi ni wobele.
having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are those of the twelve tribes of [the] sons of Israel.
On [the] east three gates; and on [the] north three gates; and on [the] south three gates; and on [the] west three gates.
14 Imota lya muleneñi libena mitomo, ina ikumi ni milyango yobele, imi kwili kubena mazina ene ikumi ni obele abalutwana bena ikumi ni bobele be Imbelele.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Yabawambi name abena inkoli yakupimisa ibatendwa chegauda kupimisa Muleneñi, milyango ni mamota ateni.
And he that spoke with me had a golden reed [as] a measure, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
16 Muleneñi ubazalitwa chenkona zone; bule bwateni bubali kulikanelela ni mubufuhi bwateni, Abapimi muleneñi chenkoli yakupimisa, zikiti zina ikumi ni zobele mubule (bule bwao, zibalikuswana).
And the city lies four-square, and its length [is] as much as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed — twelve thousand stadia: the length and the breadth and height of it are equal.
17 Abapimi bulyo ni mota lyateni, bukima bwamakiyibbu ena 144 chamupimino wabuntu (Ili ichita chipimo cheñiloi hape).
And he measured its wall, a hundred [and] forty-four cubits, [a] man's measure, that is, [the] angel's.
18 Imota libazakwa chajaspe ni muleneñi chegauda ineine, ni gilasi ibelela.
And the building of its wall [was] jasper; and the city pure gold, like pure glass:
19 Mitomo yamamota abakabiswe chamabwe amifuta yonse. Chetanzi ibali jaspa, chabubeli ibali safiro, chabutatu ibali kalesedo, chabune ibali emeralda,
the foundations of the wall of the city [were] adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
20 Chikwana iyanza ibali sardlusi, chikwana iyanza ni chimwina ibali sardiyo, chikwana iyanza ni zobele ibali krisolito, chikwana iyanza ni zotatwe ibali berilo, chikwana iyanza ni zone ibali topazo, chikwana ikumi ibali krizoprazo, chikwana ikumi ni chimwina ibali jasinto, mi chikwana ikumi ni zobele ibali ametisto.
the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
21 Ziyazo zamilyango zibena ikumi ni zobele zibali zalipelela; umwi ni umwi wamilyango ubapangiwa hepelela yonke. Mikwakwa yamuleneñi ibali yagauda yineyine, sina igilazi ibelela.
And the twelve gates, twelve pearls; each one of the gates, respectively, was of one pearl; and the street of the city pure gold, as transparent glass.
22 Kananibaboni itempele mumuleneñi, chokuti Simwine Ireeza wina Maata Wonse ni Mbelele bekele mwitempele.
And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
23 Muleneñi kakubena intokwahalo yezuba kapa mwezi ili kutu kubenye mukuti ikanyaye Ireeza ibamuniki hateni, mi ilambi lyate imbelele.
And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine for it; for the glory of God has enlightened it, and the lamp thereof [is] the Lamb.
24 Mishobo kayiwambe cheli iseli lyowuna muleneñi. Malena bahansi kabalete chifumu chabo muwuli. Mushobo wete upuluswe kawuwambe cheseli lyowuna muleneñi.
And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it.
25 Minyango yateni keti niyiyale mukati kezuba, mi ketenikube masiku kwateni.
And its gates shall not be shut at all by day, for night shall not be there.
26 Kabalete mwateni chifumu chabo ni tompo yakumisho yabo,
And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations to it.
27 mikakwina chisajololi cheti nichinjile mwateni. Kapa zumwi ni zumwi yotenda chintu chonse chiswabisa kapa chichenga yeti nenjile, kono haisi abo bamazina añoletwe muMbuka ye Mbelele ya Buhalo.
And nothing common, nor that maketh an abomination and a lie, shall at all enter into it; but those only who [are] written in the book of life of the Lamb.
