Emoniseli 22
1 Bongo anjelu alakisaki ngai ebale ya mayi ya bomoi; ezalaki kongenga lokola talatala mpe ezalaki kobima wuta na Kiti ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe mpe ya Mpate.
Then the angel showed me a pure river of the water of life, as bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 Ezalaki kotiola na kati-kati ya balabala monene ya engumba. Na esika oyo ebale ekabwanaki na biteni mibale, ezalaki na nzete ya bomoi oyo ebotaka bambuma mbala zomi na mibale na mobu, elingi koloba ete ebotaka bambuma sanza na sanza; mpe makasa na yango ebikisaka bikolo.
In the middle of the city street, and on each side of the river, is the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
3 Elakeli mabe ekozala lisusu te. Kiti ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe mpe ya Mpate ekozala kati na engumba, mpe bawumbu na Ye bakosalela Ye.
No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
4 Bakomona elongi na Ye, mpe Kombo na Ye ekokomama na bambunzu na bango.
They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
5 Butu ekozala lisusu te. Bakozala na posa te ya pole ya mwinda to ya moyi, pamba te Nkolo Nzambe akongengisa bango na pole na Ye. Mpe bakokonza seko na seko. (aiōn g165)
There will be no night there, and they will not need any lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light, and they will reign forever and ever. (aiōn g165)
6 Anjelu alobaki na ngai: « Maloba oyo ezali ya solo mpe ebongi na kotiela yango motema. Nkolo, Nzambe ya milimo ya basakoli, atindaki anjelu na Ye mpo na kolakisa na basali na Ye makambo oyo esengeli kosalema kala mingi te. »
Then the angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.
7 Yoka! Nazali koya kala mingi te. Esengo na moto oyo abatelaka maloba ya masakoli oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo.
“Behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 Ngai Yoane, nayokaki mpe namonaki makambo oyo. Mpe tango nayokaki mpe namonaki yango, nafukamaki na makolo ya anjelu oyo alakisaki ngai yango mpo na kogumbamela ye.
I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me.
9 Kasi anjelu alobaki na ngai: « Kosala bongo te! Nazali moninga na yo ya mosala, ya bandeko na yo, basakoli; mpe ya ba-oyo nyonso babatelaka maloba ya buku oyo. Gumbamela nde Nzambe! »
But he said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant of yoʋrs, and of yoʋr brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”
10 Bongo alobaki na ngai lisusu: « Kobomba te maloba ya masakoli ya buku oyo, pamba te tango ekomi pene.
Then he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.
11 Tika ete moto oyo asalaka mabe akoba kosala mabe, tika ete moto oyo azali mbindo akoba kozala mbindo, tika ete moto oyo azali sembo akoba kozala sembo, mpe tika ete moto azali bule akoba kozala bule! »
Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”
12 Yoka! Nazali koya kala mingi te! Nakomema elongo na Ngai lifuti mpo na moto na moto kolanda misala na ye.
“Behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to repay each person according to their works.
13 Nazali Alifa mpe Omega, Moto ya liboso mpe Moto ya suka, Ebandeli mpe Suka.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
14 Esengo na bato oyo basukolaka bilamba na bango mpo na kozwa ndingisa ya kolia bambuma ya nzete ya bomoi mpe ya koleka na bikuke mpo na kokota na engumba.
Blessed are those who keep his commandments, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates.
15 Kasi bambwa, bato ya maji, bandumba, babomi, basambeli bikeko mpe bato nyonso oyo balingaka mpe basalelaka lokuta, bakozala na libanda ya engumba.
Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the fornicators, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 Ngai Yesu, natindaki anjelu na Ngai mpo na kotatola bosolo ya makambo oyo kati na Mangomba. Nazali Mosisa mpe mokitani ya Davidi; Monzoto ya tongo, oyo engengaka.
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and offspring of David, the bright morning star.”
17 Molimo mpe Mwasi mobandami ya libala balobi: — Yaka! Tika ete ye oyo azali koyoka maloba oyo aloba: « Yaka! » Tika ete ye oyo azali na posa ya mayi aya; mpe tika ete ye oyo alingi kozwa mayi ya bomoi azwa yango na ofele.
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. And let anyone who wishes to do so take the water of life freely.
18 Ngai Yoane, nazali koyebisa moto nyonso oyo azali koyoka maloba ya masakoli ya buku oyo: soki moto abakisi ata likambo moko na likolo ya makambo oyo, Nzambe akobakisela ye bitumbu oyo ekomami kati na buku oyo;
I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues that are written in this book.
19 mpe soki moto alongoli ata likambo moko na maloba ya masakoli ya buku oyo, Nzambe mpe akolongola ye ndingisa ya kolia bambuma ya nzete ya bomoi mpe ya kokota kati na Engumba ya Bule, oyo etalisami kati na buku oyo.
If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are written about in this book.
20 Motatoli ya makambo oyo alobi: — Iyo, nazali koya kala mingi te. Amen: Nkolo Yesu, yaka!
He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. So shall it be. Come, Lord Jesus!
21 Tika ete ngolu ya Nkolo Yesu ezala na bino nyonso!
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.
