1Ndipo mngeloyo anandionetsa mtsinje wamadzi amoyo, oyera ngati mwala wa krustalo ukutuluka ku mpando waufumu wa Mulungu ndi wa Mwana Wankhosa, 2Ukuyenda pakati pa msewu waukulu wa mu mzindawo. Mbali iliyonse ya mtsinjewo kunali mtengo wamoyo, utabala zipatso khumi ndi ziwiri. Kubereka zipatso mwezi uliwonse. Ndipo masamba a mtengowo ndi mankhwala wochiritsa anthu a mitundu ina. 3Sipadzakhalanso temberero lililonse. Mpando waufumu wa Mulungu ndi wa Mwana Wankhosa udzakhala mu mzindawo, ndipo atumiki ake adzamutumikira. 4Iwo adzaona nkhope yake ndipo dzina lake lidzalembedwa pa mphumi zawo. 5Sipadzakhalanso usiku. Sadzafuna kuwala kwa nyale kapena kwa dzuwa pakuti Ambuye Mulungu adzakhala kuwala kwawo. Ndipo adzalamulira kwamuyaya.

Yesu Akubweranso
7“Taonani, ndikubwera posachedwa! Wodala ndi amene asunga mawu oneneratu za kutsogolo a mʼbuku ili.”
8Ine Yohane, ndine amene ndinamva ndi kuona zinthu izi. Ndipo pamene ndinamva ndi kuona izi ndinagwa pansi kuti ndipembedze mngelo amene amandionetsa zimenezi. 9Koma mngeloyo anandiwuza kuti, “Usatero ayi! Ine ndine wotumikira monga iwe pamodzi ndi abale ako aneneri ndi onse amene amasunga mawu a mʼbuku pembedzani Mulungu.”
10Kenaka anandiwuza kuti, “Usabise mawu onena zamʼtsogolo a mʼbuku ili chifukwa nthawi yayandikira. 11Wochita zoyipa apitirire kuchita zoyipazo; wochita zonyansa apitirire kuchita zonyansazo; wochita zabwino apitirire kuchita zabwinozo; ndipo woyera mtima apitirire kukhala woyera mtima.”

12“Taonani, ndikubwera posachedwa! Ndikubwera ndi mphotho zanga kuti ndidzapereke kwa aliyense malinga ndi zimene anachita. 13Ine ndine Alefa ndi Omega, Woyamba ndi Wotsiriza, Chiyambi ndi Chimaliziro ndine.
14“Odala amene achapa mikanjo yawo, kuti akhale ndi ufulu wopita ku mtengo wamoyo ndi kuti akalowe mʼzipata za mu mzindawo. 15Kunja kuli agalu, amatsenga, achiwerewere, akupha anthu, opembedza mafano ndi aliyense amene amakonda bodza ndi kulichita.
16“Ine Yesu, ndatuma mngelo wanga kuti achitire umboni uwu ku mipingo. Ine ndine Muzu ndi Chipatso cha Davide ndipo ndine Nthanda Yonyezimira.”

Ameni. Bwerani Ambuye Yesu.
21Chisomo cha Ambuye Yesu chikhale ndi anthu onse. Ameni.
The Earth Is Made Like New Again
1Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life. It was as clear as crystal. It flowed from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2It flowed down the middle of the city’s main street. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing 12 crops of fruit. Its fruit was ripe every month. The leaves of the tree bring healing to the nations. 3There will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city. God’s servants will serve him. 4They will see his face. His name will be on their foreheads. 5There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun. The Lord God will give them light. They will rule for ever and ever.
John and the Angel
6The angel said to me, “You can trust these words. They are true. The Lord is the God who gives messages to the prophets. He sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”
7“Look! I am coming soon! Words of prophecy are written in this book. Blessed is the person who obeys them.”
8I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. After that, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel. He is the one who had been showing me these things. 9But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I serve God, just as you do. I am God’s servant, just like the other prophets. And I serve God along with all who obey the words of this book. Worship God!”
10Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy in this book. These things are about to happen. 11Let the person who does wrong keep on doing wrong. Let the evil person continue to be evil. Let the person who does right keep on doing what is right. And let the holy person continue to be holy.”
The Revelation Ends With Warnings and Blessings
12“Look! I am coming soon! I bring my rewards with me. I will reward each person for what they have done. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the First and the Last. I am the Beginning and the End.
14“Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will have the right to come to the tree of life. They will be allowed to go through the gates into the city. 15Outside the city are those who are impure. These people include those who practice witchcraft. Outside are also those who commit sexual sins and murder. Outside are those who worship statues of gods. And outside is everyone who loves and does what is false.
16“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this witness for the churches. I am the Root and the Son of David. I am the bright Morning Star.”
17The Holy Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And the person who hears should say, “Come!” Anyone who is thirsty should come. Anyone who wants to take the free gift of the water of life should do so.
18I am warning everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book. Suppose someone adds anything to them. Then God will add to that person the plagues told about in this book. 19Suppose someone takes away any words from this book of prophecy. Then God will take away from that person the blessings told about in this book. God will take away their share in the tree of life. God will also take away their place in the Holy City.
20Jesus is a witness about these things. He says, “Yes. I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
21May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.
