< Ugubutulu 21 >
1 Shakapanu moniti mpindi ya syayi na isi ya syayi. Kumpindi kulii kwa kwanja na pasipanu pa kwanja viwukiti na bahali iweriti ndiri kayi.
Then I saw new heavens and a new earth. The former heavens and the former earth had passed away; and the sea has ceased to be.
2 Nuluwona lushi lunanagala, Yerusalemu ya syayi, palusuluka kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu. Luweriti litandirwa weri gambira mdala gwa ndowa yakaheripizitwi kala kuliwona na mpalu gwakuwi.
And I saw the Holy City, Jerusalem, descending new out of heaven from God, like a bride adorned in readiness for her husband.
3 Shakapanu mpikaniriti liziwu likulu kulawa mushibanta sha ufalumi lilonga, “Guloli! Kaya ya Mlungu pamuhera na wantu. Hakalikali pakati pawu, nawomberi hawaweri wantu wakuwi, nayomberi hakaweri Mlungu gwawu.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne, which said – “See! The tent of God is set up among people. God will live among them, and they will be his Peoples, and God himself will be among them,
4 Yomberi hakapukuti masozi gawu goseri, toziya kuhowa hapeni kuweri kayi ama utama ama kulila ama kutama toziya pasipanu pagona papita.”
and he will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, nor will there be any more grief or crying or pain. The old order has passed away.”
5 Shakapanu ulii yakalivagiti pashibanta sha ufalumi kalonga, “Guloli, nankutenda goseri gasyayi.” Kayi kang'ambira, “Gulembi shitwatira ashi, toziya visoweru avi ndo vya ujimirika na vya nakaka!”
And he who was seated on the throne said – “See, I make all things new!” And he said – “Write this, for these words may be trusted and are true.”
6 Kayi kang'ambira, “Gatimiya! Neni mwanjiru na mperelu, Neni ndo gwa kwanja na gwa upeleru. Yakayimuluwa hanumpanani shilanda sha hera kulawa mumbwiru ya mashi ga ukomu.
And he said to me – “They are fulfilled. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End. To those who thirst I will give of the spring of the water of life, freely.
7 Mkanka yoseri hakanki ashi, na neni hanweri Mlungu gwakuwi, nayomberi hakaweri mwana gwangu.
Those who conquer will enter into possession of these things, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.
8 Kumbiti wantu yawawera na lyoga na yawajimira ndiri na yawagamira na yawalaga na wahumba na wahawi na yawaguwira vinyagu na yawapayira woseri na pahala pawu ndo hapaweri mulitanda lyalimema mabuwi ga baluti yagayaka motu, aku ndo kuhowa kwa pili.” (Limnē Pyr )
But as for cowards, unbelievers, the degraded, murderers, the impure, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars – their place will be in the burning lake of fire and sulphur. That is the Second Death.” (Limnē Pyr )
9 Su yumu gwa wantumintumi wa kumpindi saba walii yawaweriti na mabakuli saba galii yagamemiti makomangu saba ga upeleru, kiziti na kung'ambira, “Gwizi! Na neni hanukulanguziyi mdala gwa ndowa, mdala gwakuwi Mwanakondolu!”
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, and were laden with the seven last curses, came and spoke to me. “Come here,” he said, “and I will show you the Bride, the Wife of the Lamb.”
10 Su Rohu gwa Mlungu kanjegiti na ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kankweneziya palugongu lutali nentu. Kananguziyiti lushi lunanagala, Yerusalemu palusuluka kulawa kumpindi,
He carried me away in a trance to a great high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the Holy City, descending out of heaven from God, filled with the glory of God.
11 pawung'ereng'eta ukwisa wa Mlungu. Ulangala wakuwi uweriti gambira libuwi lya beyi nkulu lyalishemwa yasipi, gambira mabuwi gaherepa nentu ga beyi nkulu, lilangala gambira libuwi lyalimulika.
Its brilliance was like a precious stone, like a jasper, transparent as crystal.
12 Shiweriti na shibambaza sha liboma shitali na shikulu, lwaluwera na milyangu malongu na mawili na kila gumu guloleritwi na ntumintumi gwa kumpindi. Pa kila mlyangu palembitwi matawu ga makabila lilongu na mawili ga Israeli.
It had a great high wall, in which were twelve gates; and at these gates there were twelve angels, and there were names inscribed on the gates, the names of the twelve tribes of the Israelites.
13 Kuweriti na milyangu mikulu mitatu, uwega wa kwagulawiti mshenji kuweriti na milyangu mikulu mitatu na kushana milyangu mikulu mitatu na uwega wa kusika kuweriti na milyangu mikulu mitatu na uwega wa kwaguzyetiti mshenji kuweriti na milyangu mikulu mitatu.
There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
14 Vibambaza vya lushi alu viweriti vinyawa kwa mabuwi galyanjiru lilongu na mawili na kila libuwi lya lyanjiru palembitwi litawu limu lya wantumintumi lilongu na wawili wa Mwanakondolu.
The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, on which were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Su ntumintumi gwa kumpindi yakatakuliti naneni kaweriti na lubiki lwa zaabu lwa kupimira lushi, milyangu yakuwi na liboma lyakuwi.
And the angel who was speaking to me had as a measure a gold rod, with which to measure the city and its gates and its wall.
16 Lushi alu luweriti teratera kwa upana na utali wakuwi. Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kalupima lushi alu kwa shibiki shakuwi, luweriti na utali, upana na utali wa kugenda panani, handa kilumita elufu mbili na miya msheshi.
The city is square; the length and the breadth are the same. The angel measured with his rod; it was twelve hundred miles; its length, and breadth, and height are equal.
17 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kashipimiti shibambaza shakuwi viraa, nasheni shiweriti na upana wakuwi mita malongu sita kwa shipimu sha masu ga shimuntu, ntumintumi gwa kumpindi katendiriti.
Then he measured the wall; it was two hundred and eighty-eight feet, as people measure, that is as the angel measured.
18 Shibambaza ashi shiweriti washinyawa kwa mabuwi masheri ga beyi nkulu yagashemwa yasipi na lushi lweni luweriti walunyawa kwa zaabu iherepa, ilangala gambira libuwi lyalimulikiti.
The material of the wall of the city was jasper, and the city was built of pure gold, which shone like clear glass.
19 Mabuwi ga lyanjiru ga shibambaza gaweriti gaheripiziwa kwa kila ntambu ya mabuwi ga beyi nkulu. Libuwi lya kwanja lya lyanjiru liweriti libuwi lya beyi nkulu lyalishemwa yasipi lya pili yakuti samawati lya tatu kalikedoni lya msheshi zumaridi,
The foundations of the wall of the city were ornamented with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was a jasper; the second a sapphire; the third a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald;
20 lya mhanu saridoniki lya sita akiki lya saba krisolitu lya nane zabalajadi lya tisa topazi lya lilongu krisoparaso lya lilongu na yimu yasintu na lya lilongu na mbili ametistu.
the fifth a sardonyx; the sixth a carnelian; the seventh a chrysolite; the eighth a beryl; the ninth a topaz; the tenth a chrysoprase; the eleventh a hyacinth; and the twelfth an amethyst.
21 Na milyangu lilongu ilii na miwili iweriti lulu lilongu na miwili, kila mlyangu guweriti wagunyawa kwa lulu yimu. Njira nkulu ya lushi iweriti wayinyawa kwa zaabu iherepa, yilangala handa libuwi lyalimulika.
The twelve gates were made of twelve pearls, each gate of one pearl. The street of the city was of pure gold, transparent as glass.
22 Moniti ndiri Numba ya Mlungu mulushi alu, toziya Mtuwa Mlungu Yakawera na Makakala na Mwanakondolu wa amu pahala pakuwi.
And I saw no Temple there, for the Lord, our God, the Almighty, and the Lamb are its Temple.
23 Lushi alu lufira ndiri mshenji pota lyezi kulangalira, toziya ukwisa wa Mlungu gulangaziya na Mwanakondolu ndo shikoluboyi shakuwi.
The city has no need of the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God illuminated it, and its Lamp was the Lamb.
24 Wantu wa maisi hawalikali mugulangala gwakuwi na wafalumi wa pasipanu hawaujegeri ulunda wawu.
The nations walk by the light of it; and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it.
25 Milyangu ya lushi alu hayiweri lupalahera paliwala poseri, toziya amu hapeni kuweri na pashiru.
Its gates will never be shut by day, and there will be no night there.
26 Ukwisa na ligoya wa maisi havijegwi mngati amu.
And people will bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 Kumbiti kwahera shoseri shashiweriti shihumba hashingiri nakamu, ama muntu yoseri yakatenda vitwatira vya kukalaziya ama vya mpayu hapeni kingiri amu. Ndo wantu walii hera yawalembiritwi mushintola sha ukomu sha Mwanakakondolu ndo hawingiri amu.
Never will any unhallowed thing enter it, nor they whose life is shameful and false, but only those whose names have been written in the Lamb’s book of life.
