Okubikkulirwa 22
1 Awo malayika n’andaga omugga ogw’amazzi ag’obulamu agamasamasa ng’endabirwamu, nga gukulukuta okuva mu ntebe ey’obwakabaka eya Katonda, n’ey’Omwana gw’Endiga,
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb,
2 nga gukulukutira wakati mu luguudo olunene. Ku mbalama zombi ez’omugga kwaliko emiti egy’obulamu, gumu ku buli ludda, egibala ebibala ekkumi n’ebibiri era nga buli mwezi kubeerako ebibala eby’engeri endala; n’amakoola gaagwo nga gakozesebwa ng’eddagala okuwonya amawanga.
in the middle of her street. And on either side of the river was a tree of life producing twelve fruits, yielding each month's fruit monthly; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
3 Mu kibuga ekyo tewalibaayo kikolimo nate. Entebe ey’obwakabaka eya Katonda n’ey’Omwana gw’Endiga ziribeera eyo, n’abaddu be balimuweereza,
There will be no accursed thing there, but the throne of God and of the Lamb are in her, and His slaves will minister to Him.
4 era banaalabanga amaaso ge, n’erinnya lye liriwandiikibwa mu byenyi byabwe.
They will see His face and His name is on their foreheads.
5 Teribaayo kiro, noolwekyo ettabaaza oba enjuba tebiryetaagibwa, kubanga Mukama Katonda y’anaabaakiranga era banaafuganga emirembe n’emirembe. (aiōn g165)
Night will not exist there and they will need neither lamp nor sunlight, because the Lord God illuminates them. And they will reign forever and ever. (aiōn g165)
6 Awo malayika n’aŋŋamba nti, “Ebigambo bino bituufu, bya mazima. Era Katonda w’emyoyo gya bannabbi, atumye malayika we okulaga abaddu be ebyo ebiteekwa okubaawo amangu.”
Then He says to me: “These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent His angel to show to His slaves the things that must shortly take place.
7 “Era laba, nzija mangu. Alina omukisa oyo akwata ebigambo by’obunnabbi ebiri mu kitabo kino.”
Take note, I am coming swiftly! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 Nze Yokaana nalaba era ne mpulira ebintu ebyo. Era bwe nabiraba ne mbiwulira ne ngwa wansi okusinza malayika oyo eyabindaga;
Now I, John, who heard and saw these things, when I had heard and seen I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things,
9 kyokka ye n’aŋŋamba nti, “Tokola kintu ekyo kubanga nange ndi muddu nga ggwe era nga baganda bo bannabbi bwe bali, awamu n’abo bonna abakwata ebigambo ebiwandiikiddwa mu kitabo kino. Ssinza Katonda.”
but he says to me: “Don't! I am your fellow slave and of your brothers the prophets, those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”
10 Awo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Ebyo by’owandiise eby’obunnabbi tobikuuma nga bya kyama kubanga biri kumpi okutuukirira.
Then he says to me: “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.
11 Era ekiseera ekyo bwe kirituuka, buli akola ebitali bya butuukirivu alyeyongera okukola ebitali bya butuukirivu, era n’omugwagwa alyeyongera okugwagwawala, kyokka abatuukirivu balyeyongera okuba abatuukirivu, n’abatukuvu balyeyongera okuba abatukuvu.
He who acts unjustly let him act unjustly still, and let the filthy one be filthy still, and let the righteous one still practice righteousness, and let the holy one still be sanctified.”
12 “Laba, nzija mangu nsasule buli omu ng’ebikolwa bye bwe biri.
“Take note, I am coming swiftly, and my reward is with me to give to each one according to his work.
13 Nze Alufa era nze Omega, Owoolubereberye era Asembayo, Entandikwa era Enkomerero.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, the First and the Last.”
14 “Balina omukisa abo abayoza ebyambalo byabwe, baliweebwa obuyinza okuyingira mu miryango gy’ekibuga ne balya ne ku bibala ebiva ku muti ogw’obulamu.
(Blessed are those who do His commands, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, even to enter through the gates into the city.
15 Ebweru w’ekibuga y’ebeera embwa, n’abalogo, n’abenzi, n’abassi, n’abasinza bakatonda abalala n’abo bonna abaagala era abakola eby’obulimba.
Outside are the ‘dogs’ and the sorcerers and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices a lie.)
16 “Nze Yesu, ow’omu kikolo era ow’omu lulyo lwa Dawudi, ntumye malayika wange gye muli okubuulira Ekkanisa ebigambo bino. Nze Mmunyeenye eyaka ey’Enkya.”
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you, in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright morning Star.
17 Omwoyo n’Omugole boogera nti, “Jjangu.” Na buli awulira ayogere nti, “Jjangu.” Buli alumwa ennyonta ajje, buli ayagala ajje anywe ku mazzi ag’obulamu ag’obuwa.
Both the Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ And let whoever hears say, ‘Come!’ And let whoever thirsts come; whoever wants to, let him take the water of life free of charge.
18 Ntegeeza buli omu awulira ebigambo eby’obunnabbi ebiri mu kitabo: Omuntu yenna alibyongerako, Katonda alimwongerako ebibonoobono ebiwandiikiddwa mu kitabo kino.
“I myself testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If any one adds to them, may God add to him the seven plagues written in this book!
19 Era omuntu yenna alikendeeza ku bigambo by’obunnabbi ebiri mu kitabo kino, Mukama alimuggyako omugabo gwe ku muti ogw’obulamu ne mu kibuga ekyo ekitukuvu ekiwandiikiddwako mu kitabo kino.
And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God remove his share from the tree of life and out of the Holy City, that stand written in this book!”
20 Oyo ayogedde ebintu bino agamba nti, “Weewaawo nzija mangu!” Amiina! Jjangu Mukama waffe Yesu!
He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming swiftly!” Oh yes! Come, Sovereign Jesus!
21 Ekisa kya Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo kibeerenga ne bonna. Amiina.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.
