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.
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 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 John saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, prepared as 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, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall pitch his tent with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their own God.
4 Bhenebho shibhaaungutanje minyoi jabhonji jowe, pabha shiwo shikapagwa kabhili, wala kwiigutanjila, wala ililo wala mboteko, pabha ga bhukala gapitile.”
And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more; nor shall mourning, nor crying, nor toil be any more: because the former things are passed away.
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!”
And he that sat upon the throne said, Lo! I make all things new: and he said unto me, Write that these sayings 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.
And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end; I will give to him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 Jwene shaakombolejo, shaapate yene mboka yowei, na nne shimme a Nnungu bhakwe, na jwalakwe shaabhe mwanangu.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be to him a God, and he shall be to me a son.
8 Ikabheje bhandunji bha bhoga na bhakaakulupalilanga, na bhaatendanga ya nnjimwa, na bhaabhulaganga, na bha labhalabha, na bhaabhi, na bhakwiitindibhalilanga yanamu, na bha unami bhowe, ndamo jabhonji shijibhe nnitanda likolela moto gwa bhonga, shenesho ni shiwo sha bhili. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
But to those who shrink back through fear, and to the infidels, and to the abominable, and to murderers, and to whoremongers, and to those who use magical incantations, and to idolaters, and to all liars, is their portion appointed in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
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!”
And there came to me one of the seven angels who held the seven vases full of the seven last plagues, and he talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
10 Bhai nili Mmbumu, malaika jula gwambeleshe kuntundu shitumbi shikulungwa shashileu. Gwanangwile shilambo sha ukonjelo Yelushalemu, shilituluka kukopoka kunnungu, ku bhakulungwa a Nnungu,
And he bore me away in spirit unto a great and exceeding high mountain, and shewed 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 glory of God: and her brilliance was like the most precious gem, as a jasper stone, transparent as crystal;
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.
and she had a great wall and lofty, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children 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.
From the east three gates; from the north three gates; from the south three gates; 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 the 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.
And he that talked with me held a golden cane to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
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.
And the city is a quadrangle, and the breadth of it is just as much as the length of it; and he measured the city with the cane, twelve thousand furlongs: the breadth, and the length, and the height of it, are exactly proportioned.
17 Gwapimile na likumba lya lugwani lwakwe, pulyaaliji shipunda mita makumi shita kwa shipimilo sha meyo ga shigundu, shapimile malaika jula.
He measured also the wall of it a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, for such is that 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 structure of the wall of it was jasper, and the city 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 walls of the city were adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation a jasper; the second a sapphire; the third a chalcedony; the fourth an 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 a sardonyx; the sixth a sardius; the seventh a chrysolite; the eighth a beryl; the ninth a topaz; the tenth a chrysoprasus; the eleventh a jacinth; the twelfth an 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 were twelve several pearls; every one of the gates was of one pearl; and the street of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass.
22 Nangalibhona liekalu shene shilambosho, pabha Bhakulungwa a Nnungu Bhakwete Mashili gowe naka Mwana Ngondolo jula, ni liekalu lyakwe.
And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty is the temple thereof, even the Lamb.
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 had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine upon it: for the glory of God illuminates it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof.
24 Bhandunji bha ilambo ina, shibhaowanje nshilangaya shakwe, na bhapalume bha pa shilambolyo shibhapelekanje ukonjelo gwabhonji mwenemo.
And the nations of those that are saved shall walk about in the light thereof; and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and their honour into it;
25 Milango jakwe jikaugalwa mui gowe, pabha mwenemo shikapagwa shilo.
and her gates shall be never shut by day (for there is no night there);
26 Ukonjelo na ishima ya bhandunji bha ilambo ina shiipelekwe mwenemo.
and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it.
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.
And there shall no more enter into it any thing unclean, or that practises abomination and lying; but only those who are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
