1Pamwepo ndidawona kudzulu kupsa* na dziko la pantsi lipsa, nakuti kudzulu kwakuyamba na dziko la pantsi lakuyamba bzikhadamala. Ndipo nyandza pakhalibe. 2Ndidawona Mzinda Wakucena†, Jerusalema mupsa, omwe akhabuluka kucokera kudzulu kuna Mulungu, wakukondzekera ninga wakulowodwa‡ wakubzidekesera mwamuna wace. 3Ndidabva fala lamphambvu likhacokera kumpando wa umambo likhambalewa kuti: “Tsapano cikumbi ca Mulungu§ ciri pakati pa wanthu, ndipo Iye an'dzakhala nawo. Iwo an'dzakhala mbumba ya Mulungu ndipo Iye an'dzakhala na iwo ndipo an'dzakhala Mulungu wawo. 4Iye an'dzawapukuta misozi yentse m'maso**. Ndipo impfa in'dzawoneka lini pomwe††, napo kutsukwala napo kulira napo kuwawidwa, nakuti bzinthu bzakale bzamala”.

5Ndipo Ule omwe akhadakhala pampando wa umambo adati: “Ndirikucita papsa bzinthu bzentse!” Ndipo adalewa pomwe kuti “Unembe bzimwebzi, nakuti mafala yamweyo ni yacadidi ndipo bzin'funika kuyakhulupirira”.

6Adandiuza pomwe kuti “Bzamala. Ine ndine Alfa ndipo na Omega, wakuyamba na kumalizira‡‡. Omwe ana nyota, nin'dzamupasa bzakumwa mwakusaya kulipira bzakucokera ntsantsa ya madzi§§ ya moyo. 7Wakukunda an'dzakhala na utaka bwentsenebu, ndipo Ine nin'dzakhala Mulungu wace*** ndipo iye an'dzakhala mwana wangu. 8Tsono wamantha, wakusaya cikhulupiriro, wakufuna bzakunyantsa, wakupha andzawo, wa malume yakuletsedwa, wa ufiti, wakutumbiza bzifanikizo na wentse wakunama, mbuto yawo in'dzakhala kuthawale la moto lomwe limbagaka na enxofre. Imweyi ni impfa yaciwiri”.

9M'bodzi wa anju anomwe (7) omwe akhana tacu zinomwe (7) zomwe zikhadadzala na bzisi bzinomwe (7) bzakumalizira, adafendera ndipo adandiuza kuti: “Bwera, ine nin'dzakuwonesa wakulowodwa, mkazi wa Bira”. 10Iye adanditenga muMzimu Wakucena aciyenda na ine kuphiri likulu litali,††† ndipo adandiwonesa Mzinda Wakucena, Jerusalema, omwe ukhabuluka kucokera kudzulu kuna Mulungu. 11Ndipo ukhayetima na ukulu bwa Mulungu, ndipo kuyetima kwace kukhali ninga mwala wa phindu kwene-kwene, ninga jasipe‡‡‡ wakungwerewera ninga vidru. 12Ndipo kukhana litsito likulu litali na misuwo khumi na miwiri (12) na anju khumi na awiri (12) m'misuwo. M'misuwomo mukhadanembedwa madzina ya madzindza khumi na mawiri (12) ya Ijirayeri. 13Kumabva-dzuwa kukhana misuwo mitatu (3), kucithunthu kwace kukhana mitatu (3), kunyantsi kukhana mitatu (3), ndipo kumadokero mitatu (3)§§§. 14Litsito la mzindawo likhana majomicomi khumi na mawiri (12), ndipo iyo yakhana madzina ya atumiki khumi na awiri (12) wa Bira.

15Anju omwe akhalewa-lewa na ine akhana kamuti ninga mphimo yakukondzedwa na oro, kuti apime mzinda*, misuwo yace na litsito lace. 16Mzinda ukhali wa makhona manai (4) muutali na mukufuthuka ukhadandendemerana. Iye adapima mzinda na kamuti. Ukhana bzulu bziwiri na madzana mawiri (2.200) ya kirometru† muutali. Kufuthuka na kutalimpha bzikhadandendemerana na muutali. 17Iye adapima litsito, ndipo likhana metru makumi matanthatu na maxanu (65) ya nchinya‡, malinge na mphimo ya wanthu yomwe anju akhaphatisa basa. 18Ndipo litsitolo likhadakondzedwa na jasipe§ ndipo mzinda ukhali wa oro caiyo, yakulingana na vidru caiyo. 19Madjomicomi ya litsito la mzinda, yakhadadekesedwa na mitundu yentse ya minyala ya phindu. Jomicomi lakutoma likhadadekesedwa na mwala wa jasipe, laciwiri likhadadekesedwa na safira, lacitatu likhadadekesedwa na kalisedonya, lacinai na ejimerada, 20lacixanu na sardonyo, lacitanthatu na sardiyo, lacinomwe na crisolito, lacisere na berilo, lacipfemba na topaziyo, lacikhumi na crisopraso, lacikhumi na libodzi na jasinto, lacikhumi na ciwiri na ametisita. 21Misuwo khumi na miwiri (12) ikhali ya misanga khumi na miwiri (12), msuwo ubodzi na ubodzi ukhadakondzedwa na msanga ubodzi. Mseu ukulu wa mzinda ukhali wa oro caiyo ninga vidru yakungwerewera**.

22Ndiribe kuwona mbuto yakucena na ibodziyo m'mzinda, nakuti mbuto yakucena ya mumzindawo ni Mbuya Mulungu Wamphambvu-zentse na Bira. 23Mzinda un'funika lini dzuwa napo mwezi†† kuti bziubvunikire, nakuti kuyetima kwa ukulu bwa Mulungu ndiko kunibvunikira, ndipo Bira ni ciphaniphani cace. 24Madziko yan'dzafamba mukubvunikira kwace, ndipo azimambo wa padziko la pantsi an'dzam'bweresera ukulu bwawo. 25Misuwo ya mzindawo in'dzafunga lini cipo, nakuti kumweko kun'dzakhala lini na usiku. 26Ukulu na udali bwa madziko‡‡ bzin'dzabweresedwa kuna mzindawo. 27Muna iwo mun'dzapita lini pomwe cinthu cakusaya kucena cipo§§, napo omwe an'dzacita bzakupasisa manyazi ayai bzakunama, tsono okhawo wale omwe madzina yawo yadanembedwa muLivu la Moyo la Bira.
