Ugubukulo 21
1 Kangi nawene kunani kwa Chapanga kwa mupya na mulima wa mupya, ndava kunani kwa Chapanga kwa kutumbula na mulima wula wamali kuwuka, nyanja nayene yavi lepi kavili.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 Nauwene muji wa msopi, Yelusalemu ya mupya wahuluka kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga ngati mdala wa ndowa mweatendelekiwi kupambwa ndava ya kukonganeka na mgwana waki.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Kangi nayuwini lwami luvaha kuhuma pachigoda cha unkosi yijova, “Lola! Nyumba ya Chapanga yavi pagati ya vandu, mwene yati itama pagati yavi na yati Chapanga wavi.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 Mwene yati akugahungula maholi gavi goha. Muni lifwa yati livya lepi kavili, amala lipyanda amala luvembu amala mvinisu, muni vindu vyoha vya kadeni vimali kupita.”
And God 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 have passed away.
5 Kangi yula mweatamili pachigoda cha unkosi akajova, “Lola, nikugakita goha gamupya.” Kangi akanijovela, “Yandikayi mambu aga muni malovi aga ndi gakusadikika na gachakaka!”
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 Ndi akanijovela, “Gatimili! Nene ndi Alfa na Omega, mana yaki Mtumbula na Mmalikisa. Mweavi na njota yati nikumpela manji ga kunywa waka kuhuma muchinyepa cha manji ga wumi changali kulipa.
And he said to me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 Yula mweihotola yati ipokela ago, nene yati nivya Chapanga waki, namwene yati ivya mwana vangu.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
9 Kangi mmonga wa vala vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga saba vevavili na nkeve saba gegamelili matovilu saba ga mwishu, akahegelela na kunijovela, “Bwela, nikulangisa kamwali wa ndowa, mdala wa Mwanalimbelele.”
And there came to me one of the seven angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
10 Mpungu Msopi akanilongosa na mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga, akanitola mbaka pachitumbi chivaha na chitali. Akanilangisa muji wamsopi ndi Yelusalemu wewihelela kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga.
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Muji wenuwo wing'asima kwa ukulu wa Chapanga. Lulangasa lwaki lwavi ngati liganga leliguliswa kwa mashonga gamahele lelikemelewa yasipi, leling'asima ngati chilolilo.
Having the glory of God: and her light was like a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 Kangi muji wenuwo wavili na luwumba lutali na luvaha, weuvi na milyangu kumi na yivili, kila umonga wavikiwi ulonda na mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga. Panani ya kila mlyangu payandikwi liina limonga la makabila kumi na gavili ga vandu va Isilaeli.
And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 Kila upandi kwavili na milyangu yidatu, upandi welihumila lilanga milyangu yidatu na upandi kwelitipama lilanga milyangu yidatu na kusini milyangu yidatu na kwe litipama lilanga milyangu yidatu.
On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 Luwumba lwa muji wenuwo wajengiwi mkingisa kumi na yivili ya maganga na panani ya mikingisa yeniyo payandikwi liina limonga la mahina kumi na gavili vamitumi kumi na vavili va Mwanalimbelele.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga mwealongelayi na nene avili na lidete la kupimila yeyatenganizwi kwa zahabu, ndava ya kupima muji wenuwo mlyangu waki na luwumba lwaki.
And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
16 Muji wene wajengiwi kwa pandi mcheche zeziwanangana upana na utali. Hinu mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga apimili muji wula na lidete la kupimila utali na upana na uvaha ndi vyoha vyavili ngati kilomita elufu zivili na miya mchehe.
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 its height are equal.
17 Kangi mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga apimili ukulupala wa luwumba, wene wavili mita sitini kulandana na chipimu cheahengili.
And he measured its wall, an hundred and forty four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 Luwumba ulo lwajengiwi kwa maganga gadung'u ga mashonga gamahele gegikemelewa yasipi, na muji wene wajengiwi kwa zahabu yabwina neju, yeying'asima ngati chilolilo.
And the building of its wall was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
19 Mkingisa wa luwumba lwa muji wenuwo wanyambiswi kwa maganga ndalindali gegiguliswa mashonga gamahele. Mkingisa wa kutumbula wavi wa liganga lidung'u, na liganga la pili lavi la yakuti samawati na liganga la datu lavi kalikedoni na liganga la mcheche lavi la zumalidi,
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 mkingisa wa mhanu lavi salidoniki na sita akiki na la saba kilisolito na la nane zabalajadi na la tisa topazi na la kumi kilisopalaso na la kumi na yimonga, yasinto na kumi na zivili ametisto.
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 Milyangu yivaha kumi na zivili yatengenizwi kwa lulu kumi na zivili, kila mlyangu umonga watenganizwi kwa lulu yimonga. Njila yikulu ya muji yatenganizwi kwa zahabu yabwina, yeying'asima ngati chilolilo.
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22 Mumuji wenuwo nayiwene lepi Nyumba ya Chapanga, muni Bambu witu Chapanga mweavi na makakala na yula Mwanalimbelele ndi Nyumba yaki.
And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 Muji wenuwo wigana lepi lumuli lwa lilanga amala mwehi, ndava muni ukulu wa Chapanga ulangasa na Mwanalimbelele ndi hahi yaki.
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God lightened it, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24 Vandu va milima yoha yati vitama mu lumuli lwaki na vankosi va mulima yoha yati vakuuletela muji wenuwo vindu vyavi vyamahele.
And the nations of them who are saved shall walk in its light: and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honour into it.
25 Milyangu yivaha katu yati yidindwa lepi muhi woha, muni yati kwivya lepi kilu mwenumo.
And its gates shall not be shut by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 Vandu va pamulima yati vakuuletela utopesa na ukulu muji wenuwo.
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 Nambu chindu chochoha chihakau katu yati chiyingila lepi mwenumo, amala mundu yoyoha mweikita mambu ga soni amala udese. Nambu vala ndu mahina gavi gegayandikwi muchitabu cha wumi cha Mwanalimbelele.
And there shall by no means enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
