Okubikkulirwa 21
1 Awo ne ndaba eggulu eriggya n’ensi empya. Eggulu eryasooka n’ensi eyasooka byali biweddewo nga n’ennyanja tekyaliwo.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 Ne ndaba ekibuga ekitukuvu Yerusaalemi ekiggya nga kikka okuva ewa Katonda mu ggulu, nga kiri ng’omugole bw’abeera ku mbaga ey’obugole bwe, ng’ayonjereddwa bbaawe.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from YHWH out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Ne mpulira eddoboozi ery’omwanguka nga lyogera okuva mu ntebe ey’obwakabaka nti, “Laba eyeekaalu ya Katonda kaakano eri mu bantu, anaabeeranga nabo era banaabeeranga bantu be, Katonda yennyini anaaberanga nabo, era anaabeeranga Katonda waabwe.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of YHWH is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and YHWH himself shall be with them, and be their Elohim.
4 Alisangula amaziga mu maaso gaabwe, olwo nga tewakyali kufa, wadde ennaku, wadde okukaaba, wadde okulumwa kubanga byonna ebyasooka nga biweddewo.”
And YHWH 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 are passed away.
5 Oyo eyali atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka n’agamba nti, “Laba, ebintu byonna mbizzizza buggya.” Era n’aŋŋamba nti, “Wandiika bino, kubanga bigambo bya bwesigwa era bya mazima!”
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 N’aŋŋamba nti, “Bituukiridde, Nze Alufa era nze Omega, Entandikwa era Enkomerero. Buli alumwa ennyonta ndimuwa okunywa ku nsulo ez’amazzi amalamu, ag’obuwa.
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 Buli awangula alifuna ebyo byonna ng’omugabo, era nze nnaaberanga Katonda we, naye anaabanga mwana wange.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son.
9 Awo omu ku bamalayika omusanvu abaali bamaze okuyiwa ebibya ebyalimu ebibonoobono omusanvu eby’enkomerero n’ajja n’aŋŋamba nti, “Jjangu nkulage omugole w’Omwana gw’Endiga.”
And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 N’antwala ku ntikko y’olusozi olunene era oluwanvu mu kwolesebwa; n’andaga ekibuga Yerusaalemi ekitukuvu nga kikka okuva mu ggulu ewa Katonda,
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from YHWH,
11 nga kyonna kijjudde ekitiibwa kya Katonda era nga kimasamasa ng’ejjinja ery’omuwendo omungi, erya yasepi, eritangalijja.
Having the glory of YHWH: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 Bbugwe waakyo yali mugazi era nga mugulumivu, ng’aliko emiryango kkumi n’ebiri era nga gikuumibwa bamalayika kkumi na babiri, n’amannya g’ebika ekkumi n’ebibiri ebya Isirayiri nga gawandiikibbwa ku miryango egyo.
And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 Ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba kwaliko emiryango esatu, ne ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono nga kuliko emiryango esatu, ne ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo nga kuliko emiryango esatu, era ne ku luuyi olw’obugwanjuba nga kuliko emiryango esatu.
On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 Bbugwe yaliko amayinja ag’omusingi kkumi n’abiri ag’abatume b’Omwana gw’Endiga.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Malayika eyali ayogera nange yali akutte mu mukono gwe omuggo ogwa zaabu ogupimisibwa, apime ekibuga, emiryango gyakyo era ne bbugwe waakyo.
And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 Ekibuga kyali kyenkanankana enjuuyi zonna, n’obuwanvu nabwo nga bwenkana n’obugazi awamu n’obukiika. Byonna byali bipima kilomita enkumi bbiri mu ebikumi bina, buli kimu nga kyenkanankana ne kinnaakyo.
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 the height of it are equal.
17 Ate n’apima ne bbugwe waakyo ne kiweza mita nkaaga mu mukaaga ng’ekipimo ky’omuntu bwe kiri ng’apimye, awamu n’eky’abamalayika.
And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 Bbugwe waakyo yali azimbiddwa n’amayinja agayesipi nga n’ekibuga kya zaabu omulongoose nga kitangalijja ng’endabirwamu ennungi.
And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 Emisingi gya bbugwe w’ekibuga nga giyooyooteddwa n’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi ennyo aga buli ngeri. Omusingi ogusooka gwayooyootebwa n’amayinja aga yasepi, ogwokubiri aga safiro, ogwokusatu aga kalukedoni, ogwokuna aga nnawandagala,
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 ogwokutaano aga sadonukisi, ogw’omukaaga sadiyo, ogw’omusanvu aga kerusoliso, ogw’omunaana aga berulo, ogw’omwenda aga topazi, ogw’ekkumi aga kerusoperaso, ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu aga kuwakinso, n’ogw’ekkumi n’ebiri aga amesusito.
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 Ate emiryango ekkumi n’ebiri gyakolebwa n’amayinja ag’omuwendo aga luulu ennungi kkumi n’abiri, nga buli mulyango gukoleddwa n’ejjinja lya luulu limu. Ate lwo oluguudo olunene olw’ekibuga lwali lwa zaabu ennungi etangalijja ng’endabirwamu.
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22 Mu kibuga ekyo saalabamu yeekaalu, Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna awamu n’Omwana gw’Endiga, bo ye yeekaalu yaakyo.
And I saw no temple therein: for YHWH El-Shaddai and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 Era ekibuga ekyo tekyetaaga njuba wadde omwezi okukyakira, kubanga ekitiibwa kya Katonda kye kikimulisa, era Omwana gw’Endiga ye ttabaaza yaakyo.
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of YHWH did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 Ekitangaala kyakyo kye kinaamulisanga amawanga ag’omu nsi, era abafuzi ab’omu nsi balijja ne bakireetera ekitiibwa.
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 Emiryango gyakyo tegiggalwenga emisana, era yo teriba kiro.
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 Kirifuna ekitiibwa n’ettendo eby’amawanga.
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 Tewali ekitali kirongoofu ekirikkirizibwa okuyingira mu kyo, wadde abo abatambulira mu mpisa ezitali nnongoofu oba abalimba, wabula abalikibeeramu, beebo bokka, amannya gaabwe agaawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’obulamu eky’Omwana gw’Endiga.
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
