Tshenolo 21
1 Mme ka bona lefatshe le lesha (go sena mawatle!) le legodimo le lesha, gonne lefatshe le legodimo la pele di ne di nyeletse.
I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.
2 Mme nna, Johane ka bona motse o o Boitshepo, Jerusalema yo mosha, a fologa kwa legodimong a tswa kwa Modimong. E ne e le pono e e galalelang a le montle jaaka monyadiwa kwa lonyalong lwa gagwe.
I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Mme ka utlwa lentswe le tlhaeletsa le tswa kwa setilong sa Bogosi le re, “Bonang bonno jwa Modimo jaanong bo mo bathong, mme o tlaa nna le bone mme ba tlaa nna batho ba One; ee, Modimo ka bo one o tlaa nna mo go bone.
I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people; and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
4 O tlaa phimola dikeledi tsotlhe mo matlhong a bone, mme ga go kitla go tlhola go nna le loso, kgotsa bohutsana kgotsa selelo kgotsa kutlobotlhoko. Tsotlhe di nyeleletse ruri.”
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more. The first things have passed away.”
5 Mme yo o ntseng mo setilong sa bogosi a re, “Bona, ke shafatsa dilo tsotlhe!” Mme a nthaya a re, “Kwala se, gonne se ke se go bolelelang se boikanyo le boammaaruri!
He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.”
6 Go fedile! Ke nna Alefa le Omega, Tshimologo le Bokhutlo. Ke tlaa naya ba ba nyorilweng metswedi ya metse a botshelo, e le mpho!
He said to me, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.
7 Mongwe le mongwe yo o fenyang o tlaa rua masego a otlhe, mme ke tlaa nna Modimo wa gagwe le ene o tlaa nna morwaake.
He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.
8 Mme magatlapa a a mphuralelang, le ba ba sa ikanyegeng mo go nna le ba ba bodileng, ke babolai, baitshekologi, ba ba buang le mewa e e maswe, le baobamedi ba medimo ya disetswa le baaki botlhe, tatlhego ya bone e mo lecheng le le tukang ka molelo le sebabole. Se ke loso lwa bobedi.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
9 Mme mongwe wa baengele ba ba supang, ba ba neng ba tsholola megotswana e e neng e na le dipetso tsa bofelo, a tla mme a nthaya a re, “Ntshala morago mme ke tlaa go supegetsa monyadiwa, mosadi wa ga Kwana.”
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls which were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”
10 Mo ponatshegelong a ntseela kwa setlhoweng sa thaba e e goletseng kwa godimo mme ya re ke le mo go yone ka lebelela motse oo wa Jerusalema yo o Boitshepo, o fologa kwa legodimong o tswa kwa Modimong.
He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 O ne o tletse kgalalelo ya Modimo mme o phatsima jaaka lentswe le le botlhokwa, legakwa le le phepa jaaka jasepara.
having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 Dipota tsa one di ne di atlhame di goletse kwa godimo di na le dikgoro di le lesome le bobedi di disitswe ke baengele ba le lesome le bobedi. Mme maina a ditso di le lesome le bobedi tsa merafe ya Iseraele a bo a kwadilwe mo dikgorong.
having a great and high wall with 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 Go ne go na le dikgoro di le tharo mo ntlheng nngwe le nngwe, bokone, borwa, botlhaba le bophirimatsatsi.
On the east were three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
14 Dipota di ne di na le maje a motheo a le lesome le bobedi, mme mo go one ga bo go kwadilwe maina a baaposetoloi ba ba lesome le bobedi ba ga Kwana.
The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
15 Mme moengele a bo a tshotse selekanyo sa gauta go lekanya motse le dikgoro tsa one le dipota.
He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.
16 Mme e rile a lekanya, a fitlhela o lekalekana; tota boleele jwa one bo ne bo lekana le boatlhamo, gonne go tsholetsega ga one go ne go lekana le boleele le bophara jwa one, e le dimaele di le sekete le makgolo a matlhano.
The city is square. Its length is as great as its width. He measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand twelve stadia. Its length, width, and height are equal.
17 A lekanya bokima jwa dipota mme a fitlhela di le selekanyo sa dikgato di le makgolo a mabedi le lesome le borataro, go kgabaganya, (mme moengele a mpiletsa dilekanyo tse, a dirisa molao wa go lekanya dilo).
Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
18 Motse ka bo one o ne o itshekile o galalela jaaka galase ya gauta! Dipota di ne di dirilwe ka jasepera, mme di agilwe mo dithakong tse di lesome le bobedi tsa maje a motheo o o neng o kgabisitswe ka majana a botlhokwa. Mme motheo wa ntlha e ne e le jasepera; wa botlhano e le Saredonukese;
The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.
The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire; the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
20 wa borataro e le Saredise; wa bosupa e le Kerusolete; wa bofera bobedi e le berile; boferabongwe e le topase; wa lesome e le Kerusaperase; wa lesome le bongwe e le Yakinithe; wa lesome le bobedi e le Amethuseta:
the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
21 Dikgoro tse di lesome le bobedi di ne di dirilwe ka diperela, kgoro nngwe le nngwe e dirilwe ka perela e le nngwe! Mme mmila o mo tona o ne o dirilwe ka gauta e e galalelang, jaaka galase.
The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 Go ne go sena tempele epe e e bonalang mo motsing, gonne Morena Modimo Mothatayotlhe le Kwana ke bone tempele ya motse oo.
I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 Mme motse ga o tlhoke letsatsi kgotsa ngwedi go o bonessa gonne kgalalelo ya Modimo le ya ga Kwana di a o bonesa.
The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb.
24 Lesedi la one le tlaa bonesa dichaba tsa lefatshe, mme babusi ba lefatshe ba tlaa tla ba o leretse kgalalelo.
The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
25 Dikgoro tsa one ga di ke di tswalwa di nna di butswe letsatsi lotlhe, ebile ga go na bosigo!
Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
26 Mme kgalalelo le tlotlo ya dichaba tsotlhe di tlaa tlisiwa mo go one.
and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.
27 Ga go na sepe se se bosula se se tlaa letlelelwang mo go one, ke raya le fa e le yo o boitshekologo kgotsa yo o sa ikanyegeng, mme fa e se fela ba maina a bone a kwadilweng mo Lokwalong lwa Botshelo lwa ga Kwana.
There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
