Ufunuo 21
1 Kisha nikaona mbingu mpya na nchi mpya, kwa maana mbingu za kwanza na nchi ya kwanza vimekwisha kupita, wala hapakuwepo na bahari tena.
AND I saw new heavens and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth had gone, and the sea was no more.
2 Nikaona Mji Mtakatifu, Yerusalemu mpya, ukishuka kutoka mbinguni kwa Mungu, ukiwa umeandaliwa kama bibi arusi aliyepambwa kwa ajili ya mumewe.
And the holy city, Urishlem the new, I saw descending from heaven from Aloha, prepared as the bride is decked for her husband.
3 Nami nikasikia sauti kubwa kutoka kile kiti cha enzi ikisema, “Sasa makao ya Mungu ni pamoja na wanadamu, naye atakaa pamoja nao. Yeye atakuwa Mungu wao nao watakuwa watu wake, naye Mungu mwenyewe atakuwa pamoja nao.
And I heard a great voice from heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of Aloha is with men; and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people; and Aloha himself will be with them, and will be their God.
4 Atafuta kila chozi kutoka macho yao. Mauti haitakuwepo tena, wala maombolezo, wala kilio, wala maumivu, kwa maana mambo ya kwanza yamekwisha kupita.”
And every tear shall be wiped away from their eyes, and death shall be no more; nor sorrow, nor clamour, nor pain, shall be any more; for the former things are passed away.
5 Naye yule aliyeketi juu ya kile kiti cha enzi akasema, “Tazama, nayafanya mambo yote kuwa mapya!” Kisha akasema, “Andika haya, maana maneno haya ni ya kuaminika tena ni kweli.”
And He who sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said, Write: for these are the faithful and true words of Aloha.
6 Akaniambia, “Imekwisha kuwa. Mimi ni Alfa na Omega, Mwanzo na Mwisho. Yeye aonaye kiu nitampa kunywa kutoka chemchemi ya maji ya uzima bila gharama yoyote.
And he said to me, I am Olaph and Thau, the Beginning and the End. To him who thirsteth I will give of the water of life freely.
7 Yeye ashindaye atayarithi haya yote, nami nitakuwa Mungu wake, naye atakuwa mwanangu.
He who overcometh shall inherit these; and I will be to him Aloha, and he shall be my son.
9 Mmoja wa wale malaika saba waliokuwa na yale mabakuli saba ya hayo mapigo saba ya mwisho akaja akaniambia, “Njoo, nami nitakuonyesha bibi arusi, yaani, mke wa Mwana-Kondoo.”
And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, came and spake with me. saying, Come, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
10 Naye akanichukua katika Roho hadi kwenye mlima mkubwa na mrefu, akanionyesha ule Mji Mtakatifu, Yerusalemu, ukishuka kutoka mbinguni kwa Mungu.
And he led me in spirit upon a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city Urishlem, descending from heaven from Aloha;
11 Ulikuwa ukingʼaa kwa utukufu wa Mungu kama kito chenye thamani sana, kama yaspi, safi kama kioo.
having the glory of Aloha, as the clearness of light, like a stone of great price, as the stone Jaspon, resembling crystallos;
12 Ulikuwa na ukuta mkubwa, mrefu wenye malango kumi na mawili, pakiwa na malaika kumi na wawili kwenye hayo malango. Kwenye malango hayo yaliandikwa majina ya yale makabila kumi na mawili ya Israeli.
having a wall great and high, which had twelve gates, and names written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
13 Kulikuwa na malango matatu upande wa mashariki, matatu upande wa kaskazini, matatu upande wa kusini na matatu upande wa magharibi.
On the east three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
14 Ukuta wa huo mji ulikuwa na misingi kumi na miwili, na juu yake yaliandikwa majina ya wale mitume kumi na wawili wa Mwana-Kondoo.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations; and upon them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Huyo malaika aliyesema nami alikuwa na ufito wa dhahabu wa kupimia huo mji, malango yake na kuta zake.
And he who talked with me had a measure, a rod of gold, that he might measure the city and the gates and the walls thereof.
16 Mji huo ulikuwa mraba, urefu wake ulikuwa sawa na upana wake. Akaupima huo mji kwa huo ufito akakuta una kama kilomita 2,200; urefu wake na upana wake na kwenda juu kwake vilikuwa sawa.
And the city was set four-square, and the length of it was as the breadth: and he measured the city with the rod, upon twelve stadia of twelve thousand. And the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
17 Akaupima ukuta wake, ulikuwa na unene wa dhiraa 144 kwa kipimo cha kibinadamu ambacho huyo malaika alikuwa akikitumia.
And he measured the wall of it, an hundred and forty and four measures of the cubits of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 Ukuta huo ulijengwa kwa yaspi hali mji wenyewe ulijengwa kwa dhahabu safi, ikingʼaa kama kioo.
And the structure of the wall of it is (of) jaspis, and the city is of pure gold, like pure brightness.
19 Misingi ya kuta za mji huo zilipambwa kwa kila aina ya kito cha thamani. Msingi wa kwanza ulikuwa wa yaspi, wa pili yakuti samawi, wa tatu kalkedoni, wa nne zumaridi,
And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation was of jaspis, the second sathphiros, the third caledon, the fourth zmoragdo,
20 wa tano sardoniki, wa sita akiki, wa saba krisolitho, wa nane zabarajadi, wa tisa yakuti manjano, wa kumi krisopraso, wa kumi na moja hiakintho, wa kumi na mbili amethisto.
the fifth sardonicos, the sixth sardion, the seventh crisuthilos, the eighth berulla, the ninth topadion, the tenth chrosoposius, the eleventh hyacinthos, the twelfth amuthistos.
21 Yale malango kumi na mbili yalikuwa ni lulu kumi na mbili, kila lango lilikuwa limetengenezwa kwa lulu moja. Barabara kuu ya mji huo ilikuwa ya dhahabu safi ingʼaayo kama kioo.
And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, each of every one of the gates (a pearl), and each of every one of the pearls (a gate). And the wide street of the city was of pure gold as the brightness of light.
22 Sikuona Hekalu ndani ya huo mji kwa sababu Bwana Mungu Mwenyezi na Mwana-Kondoo ndio hekalu lake.
And a temple I saw not in it; for the Lord, the Omnipotent, is the temple thereof and the Lamb.
23 Ule mji hauhitaji jua wala mwezi kuuangazia, kwa sababu utukufu wa Mungu ndio nuru yake na Mwana-Kondoo ndiye taa yake.
And the city hath no need of the sun nor of the moon to enlighten it; for the glory of Aloha illuminateth it, and the light thereof is the Lamb.
24 Mataifa yatatembea yakiangaziwa na nuru yake na wafalme wa duniani wataleta fahari yao ndani yake.
And the nations of the saved walk by the light of it, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and the honour of the nations into it.
25 Malango yake hayatafungwa kamwe, kwa maana hakutakuwa na usiku humo.
And the gates of it shall not be shut by day, for night is not there.
26 Utukufu na heshima za mataifa zitaletwa humo.
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it;
27 Lakini kitu kichafu hakitaingia humo kamwe, wala mtu yeyote atendaye mambo ya aibu au ya udanganyifu. Bali watakaoingia humo ni wale tu ambao majina yao yameandikwa katika kitabu cha uzima cha Mwana-Kondoo.
and nothing shall enter into it that defileth, nor that worketh uncleanness; but they who are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
