Nng'ibhulo 21
1 Alapu, gunikubhwene kunnungu kwa ambi, na shilambolyo sha ambi. Kunnungu kwa bhukala kula, na shilambolyo sha bhukala shila iobhile, wala bhaali jikapaliji kabhili.
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; also, the ocean was no more.
2 Gunishibhwene shilambo sha ukonjelo, ku Yelushalemu kwa ambi, kulituluka kukopoka kunnungu kwa a Nnungu, shieleywe ukoto mbuti mwali jwa shilombani, awashiywe kupinga aimane naka mbujegwe.
And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Na gumbilikene lilobhe likulungwa kukopoka ku shitengu sha ukulungwa lilinkuti, “Nnole! Ndamo ja a Nnungu jili pamo na bhandunji. Shibhatende ndamo jabho pamo na bhanganyabho, shibhabhanganje bhandu bhabho, nabhalabho shibhabhe a Nnungu bhabhonji.
And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying: “Take note, the tabernacle of God is with men and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people. Yes, God Himself will be with them.
4 Bhenebho shibhaaungutanje minyoi jabhonji jowe, pabha shiwo shikapagwa kabhili, wala kwiigutanjila, wala ililo wala mboteko, pabha ga bhukala gapitile.”
And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there will be no more death nor sorrow nor crying nor pain—they will exist no more because the first things have gone.”
5 Na bhene bhatemi pa shitengu sha ukulungwa bhala gubhashite, “Nnole, ngunaatenda yowe kubha ya ambi.” Kabhili gubhamalanjile, “Nnjandishe kuti, gene malobhe gano, ni gaakulupalika na ga kweli!”
Then He who sat on the throne said, “Take note, I make everything new!” And He says to me, “Write, because these words are true and faithful!”
6 Kungai gubhamalanjile, Gamaliile! Nne Alpha na Omega, yani, Nantando na Mpelo. Akwete nnjotajo, shinimpe mashi ga papila, ga shinyenyei sha mashi ga gumi, gwayoyo.
Then He said to me: “I have become the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts I will give of the spring of the water of Life freely.
7 Jwene shaakombolejo, shaapate yene mboka yowei, na nne shimme a Nnungu bhakwe, na jwalakwe shaabhe mwanangu.
He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be God to him and he will be a son to me.
9 Na malaika jumo, munkumbi gwa shabha bhakwetenje mikungu shabha, jagumbele mambukute shabha ga kumpelo bhala, nigwajile malanjila, “Nnjiye akuno, ninnangule mwali nkulombwa, nkagwe Mwana Ngondolo!”
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me saying, “Come, I will show you the woman, the Lamb's bride.”
10 Bhai nili Mmbumu, malaika jula gwambeleshe kuntundu shitumbi shikulungwa shashileu. Gwanangwile shilambo sha ukonjelo Yelushalemu, shilituluka kukopoka kunnungu, ku bhakulungwa a Nnungu,
So he transported me in spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 shiling'anyima kwa ukonjelo gwa a Nnungu. Shilangaya shakwe pushaliji mbuti sha liganga lya mmbiya yaigwinji, mbuti yashipi ja takata malinga shiyoo.
having the splendor of God. Her radiance was similar to a most precious stone, like a crystalline jasper stone;
12 Shashinkukola lugwani lukulungwa lwaluleu lwa matopali, na milango likumi limo na jibhili, na mmilango mula bhashinkupagwanga ashimalaika bha a Nnungu, likumi limo na bhabhili. Na kila pantundu nnango lyashinkujandikwa lina limo, lya munkumbi gwa mena ga makabhila likumi limo na gabhili, ga Ishilaeli.
she had a tremendous, high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, namely the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel;
13 Kila mmbali jashinkupagwa milango jitatu, kulikopoka lyubha milango jitatu, na kuliwila lyubha milango jitatu, na kuntundu jakwe, milango jitatu, na kwibhanda jakwe, milango jitatu.
looking from the east, three gates, and from the north, three gates, and from the south, three gates, and from the west, three gates.
14 Makumba ga lugwani lwa shene shilambosho, gashinkushengwa mmaganga ga tandubhila likumi limo na gabhili, na kila liganga pantundu jakwe, pashinkujandikwa lina limo, lya munkumbi gwa mena ga mitume likumi limo na bhabhili, bhaka Mwana Ngondolo bhala.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names, of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Na malaika abheleketaga na nne jula, ashinkukola imbo ja pimila ja shaabhu, nkupinga apime shene shilambosho, na milango jakwe, na makumba ga lugwani lwakwe.
Now he who spoke with me had a measure, a golden reed, so that he might measure the city and her gates.
16 Shilambo shiyene pushaliji sha ndumba nsheshe ya lingana kila upande. Bhai, nigwapimile shilambo shila kwa imbo jakwe, shashinkukola uleu, na shannyenje, na shipunda, puyaliji kilometa elupu mbili, na mmia pasheshe.
The city is laid out as a square; that is, her length is equal to her width. So he measured the city with the reed at twelve thousand and twelve stadia. Her length and width and height are equal.
17 Gwapimile na likumba lya lugwani lwakwe, pulyaaliji shipunda mita makumi shita kwa shipimilo sha meyo ga shigundu, shapimile malaika jula.
And he measured her wall, one hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man (which is of an angel).
18 Lwene lugwanilo lwashinkushengwa kwa maganga ga mmbiya yaigwinji ga yashipi, shilambo shiyene shashinkushengwa kwa shaabhu ja takata, ja mbuti shiyoo.
The material of her wall was jasper, and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
19 Kila liganga lya tandubhila lya lwene lugwanilo, lyashinkukelengelelwa na maganga ga mmbiya yaigwinji, ga kila namuna. Liganga lya ntai lya tandubhila pulyaaliji lya yashipi, na lya bhili yakuti shamawi, na lya tatu kalikedoni, na lya nsheshe shumalidi,
And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation had jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
20 na lya nng'ano shadoniki, na lya shita akiki, na lya shabha kilisholito, na lya nane shabalajadi, na lya tisha yakuti ja lindani, na lya kumi kilishopulasho, na lya kumi na limo iakinto, na lya kumi na gabhili ametishito.
the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
21 Na milango kumi na jibhili jila, pujaliji lulu kumi na ibhili. Kila nnango gwashinkualaywa na lulu jimo. Mpanda njindo gwa shilambo, gwashinkualaywa na shaabhu ja takata mbuti shiyoo.
And the twelve gates are twelve pearls; each individual gate was composed of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 Nangalibhona liekalu shene shilambosho, pabha Bhakulungwa a Nnungu Bhakwete Mashili gowe naka Mwana Ngondolo jula, ni liekalu lyakwe.
I saw no sanctuary in her, because the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb are her sanctuary.
23 Na shene shilambosho shikaalolela shilangaya sha lyubha wala sha lwei, pabha ukonjelo gwa a Nnungu unalangaya, na kandili jakwe ni Mwana Ngondolo jula.
And the city has no need of the sun or the moon, that they should shine on her, because the very glory of God illumines her, and the Lamb is her light.
24 Bhandunji bha ilambo ina, shibhaowanje nshilangaya shakwe, na bhapalume bha pa shilambolyo shibhapelekanje ukonjelo gwabhonji mwenemo.
And the nations will walk in her light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into her.
25 Milango jakwe jikaugalwa mui gowe, pabha mwenemo shikapagwa shilo.
Her gates will absolutely not be closed by day (and no night will exist there).
26 Ukonjelo na ishima ya bhandunji bha ilambo ina shiipelekwe mwenemo.
And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into her.
27 Ikabheje shakwa shoshowe sha nyata shipinga jinjila mwenemo, wala mundu jojowe atenda indu yangali ya mmbone, eu ya unami akajinjila mwenemo. Ikabheje bhene bhajandikwenje nshitabhu sha gumi, shika Mwana Ngondolo ni shibhajinjilangane mwenemo.
But anything ‘common’ or anyone perpetrating an abomination or a lie will absolutely not enter her; only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
