Emoniseli 21
1 Bongo namonaki Likolo ya sika mpe mabele ya sika, pamba te Likolo ya liboso mpe mabele ya liboso elimwaki, mpe ebale monene ezalaki lisusu te.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 Namonaki engumba ya bule, Yelusalemi ya sika, kokita wuta na Lola epai ya Nzambe. Ebongisamaki lokola mwasi mobandami ya libala oyo asali monzele mpo na mobali na ye.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Nayokaki mongongo moko ya monene kobima wuta na Kiti ya Bokonzi mpe ezalaki koloba: « Botala, Nzambe atie evandelo na Ye kati na bato mpe akovanda elongo na bango. Bakozala bato na Ye, Ye moko Nzambe akozala elongo na bango mpe akozala Nzambe na bango.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 Akopangusa mpinzoli nyonso na miso na bango. Kufa, matanga, kolela to pasi ekozala lisusu te, pamba te makambo ya kala esili koleka. »
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things have passed away.
5 Bongo Ye oyo avandaki na Kiti ya Bokonzi alobaki: « Nazali kokomisa biloko nyonso ya sika. » Alobaki lisusu: « Koma makambo oyo, pamba te maloba oyo ezali penza ya solo mpe ebongi na kotiela yango motema. »
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 Alobaki na ngai lisusu: « Ekokisami. Nazali Alifa mpe Omega, Ebandeli mpe Suka. Na moto oyo azali na posa ya mayi, nakopesa mayi ya ofele wuta na etima ya mayi ya bomoi.
And he said to me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 Yango nde ekozala libula ya moto oyo akolonga. Nakozala Nzambe na ye, mpe ye akozala mwana na Ngai.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
9 Moko kati na ba-anjelu sambo oyo bazalaki na bakopo sambo etonda na bitumbu sambo ya suka ayaki mpe alobaki na ngai: « Yaka, nakolakisa yo mwasi mobandami ya libala, mwasi ya Mpate. »
And there came to me one of the seven angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
10 Bongo kati na Molimo, amemaki ngai na likolo ya ngomba moko ya monene mpe ya molayi; alakisaki ngai Yelusalemi, engumba ya bule, oyo ezalaki kokita wuta na Lola epai ya Nzambe.
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Ezalaki kongenga na nkembo ya Nzambe, mpe kongenga na yango ezalaki lokola kongenga ya libanga ya talo makasi, lokola jasipe oyo emonisaka lokola krisitali.
Having the glory of God: and her light was like a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 Engumba yango ezalaki na mir moko ya molayi mpe emata na bosanda, mpe ezalaki na bikuke zomi na mibale, mpe na ba-anjelu zomi na mibale na bikuke yango. Bakombo ya mabota zomi na mibale ya Isalaele ezalaki ya kokomama na bikuke yango.
And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 Bikuke misato ezalaki na ngambo ya este, misato na ngambo ya nor, misato na ngambo ya sude, mpe misato na ngambo ya weste.
On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 Mir ya engumba yango etongamaki likolo ya miboko zomi na mibale, mpe bakombo ya bantoma zomi na mibale ya Mpate ezalaki ya kokomama na likolo na yango.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai asimbaki lokola emekelo molayi lingenda basala na wolo, mpo na komeka molayi ya engumba, ya bikuke na yango mpe ya mir na yango.
And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
16 Bangambo nyonso minei ya engumba yango ezalaki ndenge moko na molayi mpe na mokuse. Anjelu asalelaki lingenda na ye mpo na komeka molayi ya engumba: ezalaki na bakilometele pene nkoto mibale na nkama mibale na molayi, na mokuse mpe na bosanda.
And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and its height are equal.
17 Anjelu amekaki mpe kovimba ya mir kolanda ndenge bato basalaka: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku motoba na mitano.
And he measured its wall, an hundred and forty four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 Mir yango etongamaki na jasipe, mpe engumba ezalaki ya wolo oyo basangisa na eloko mosusu te, peto lokola talatala.
And the building of its wall was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
19 Babambaki mabanga ya talo ya ndenge na ndenge na miboko ya mir ya engumba yango: babambaki jasipe na moboko ya liboso, safiri na moboko ya mibale, shalisedwane na moboko ya misato, emerode na moboko ya minei,
And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 saridwane na moboko ya mitano, korinaline na moboko ya motoba, krizolite na moboko ya sambo, berili na moboko ya mwambe, topaze na moboko ya libwa, krizopraze na moboko ya zomi, tirikwaze na moboko ya zomi na moko, mpe ametisite na moboko ya zomi na mibale.
The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21 Bikuke wana zomi na mibale ezalaki lokola mayaka zomi na mibale; ekuke moko na moko esalemaki na liyaka moko. Balabala monene ya engumba yango ezalaki ya wolo oyo basangisa na eloko mosusu te, peto lokola talatala.
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22 Namonaki ata tempelo moko te kati na engumba, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso mpe Mpate nde bazali Tempelo na yango.
And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 Engumba yango ezali na posa te ya moyi to ya sanza mpo na kongengisa yango, pamba te engengisamaka na nkembo ya Nzambe; bongo Mpate azali mwinda na yango.
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God lightened it, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24 Bikolo ekotambola na pole na yango, mpe bakonzi ya mokili bakomema nkembo na bango kati na engumba.
And the nations of them who are saved shall walk in its light: and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honour into it.
25 Bikuke ya engumba yango ekobanda kokangama te mokolo mobimba, pamba te butu ekozala kuna te.
And its gates shall not be shut by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 Bakomemela engumba yango nkembo mpe lokumu ya bikolo.
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 Eloko moko te ya mbindo ekokota kuna, mpe moto moko te oyo asalaka makambo ya nkele mpe alobaka lokuta akokota kuna; kaka ba-oyo bakombo na bango ekomama kati na buku ya bomoi ya Mpate nde bakokota kuna.
And there shall by no means enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
