Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὴν νύμφην, τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ Ἀρνίου
the bride the wife ˱of˲_the Lamb
The angel is speaking as if the new Jerusalem were literally a bride who was going to marry the Lamb. He means that God’s people will now be united forever with Jesus their Savior. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “how the people of God will be united forever with Jesus”
21:9–22:9 This symbolic vision of the new Jerusalem uses vivid word pictures to describe the bride, the wife of the Lamb—all those who respond to Christ’s message of salvation (see 21:2; 22:17; Eph 5:22-32).
