啟示錄 21
1 ，我看見了一個新天新地，因為先前的天與先前的地已不見了，海也沒有了。
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 我看見那新耶路撒冷聖城，從天上由天主那裏降下，就如一位裝飾好迎接自己丈夫的新娘。
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 我聽見由寶座那裏有一巨大聲音說：「這就是天主與人同在的帳幕，他要同他們住在一起；他們要作他的人民，他親自要『與他們同在，』作他們的天主；
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 他要拭去他們眼上的一切淚痕；以後再也沒有死亡，再也沒有悲傷，沒有哀號，沒有苦楚，因為先前的都已過去了。」
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 那位坐在寶座上的說：「看，我已更新了一切。」又說：「你寫下來！因為這些話都是可信而真實的。」
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 他又給我說：「已完成了！我是「阿耳法」和「敖默加，」元始和終末。我要把生命的水白白地賜給口渴的人喝。
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 勝利者必要承受這些福分：我要作他的天主，他要作我的兒子。
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
9 那拿著七個滿盛最後七種災禍盂的七位天使，其中有一位來告訴我說：「你來！我要把羔羊的淨配新娘指給你看。」
And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
10 天使就使我神魂超拔，把我帶到一座又大又高的山上，將那從天上，由天主那裏降下的聖城耶路撒冷，指給我看。
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 這聖城具有天主的光榮；城的光輝，好似極貴重的寶石，像水晶那麼明亮的蒼玉；
Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 城牆高而且大，有十二座門，守門的有十二位天使，門上寫著以色列子民十二支派的名字。
And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 東面三門，北面三門，南面三門，西面三門。
On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 城牆有十二座基石，上面刻著羔羊的十二位宗徒的十二個名字。
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 同我談話的那位天使拿著金蘆葦測量尺，要測量那城、城門和城牆。
And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 城是四方形的，長寬相同。天使用蘆葦測量尺測量了那城，共計一萬二千「斯塔狄，」長、寬、高都相等；
And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
17 又測量了城牆，有一百四十四肘；天使用的，是人的尺寸。
And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 城牆是用水蒼玉建造的，城是純金的，好像明淨的玻璃。
And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 城牆的基石，是用各種寶石裝飾的：第一座基石是水蒼玉，第二座是藍玉，第三座是玉髓，第四座是翡翠，
And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 第五座是赤瑪瑙，第六座是斑瑪瑙，第七座是橄欖石，第八座是綠柱石，第九座是黃玉，第十座是綠玉，第十一座是紫玉，第十二座是紫晶。
The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21 十二座門是十二種珍珠，每一座門是由一種珍珠造的；城中的街道是純金的，好似透明的玻璃。
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22 在城內我沒有看見聖殿，因為上主全能的天主和羔羊就是她的聖殿。
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 那城也不需要太陽和月亮光照，因為有天主的光榮照耀她；羔羊就是她的明燈。
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 萬民都要藉著她的光行走，世上的君王也要把自己的光榮帶到她內。
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 她的門白日總不關閉，因為那裏已沒有黑夜。
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 萬民都要把自己的光榮和財富運到她內。
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 凡不潔淨、行可恥的事及撒謊的，絕對不得進入她內；只有那些記載在羔羊生命冊上的，纔得進入。
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
