Aabenbaringen 21
1 Og jeg saa en ny Himmel og en ny Jord; thi den forrige Himmel og den forrige Jord var veget bort, og Havet var ikke mere.
And I saw a new heaven, and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth were passed away: and the sea was no more.
2 Og jeg saa den hellige Stad, det nye Jerusalem, stige ned fra Himmelen fra Gud, beredet som en Brud, der er smykket for sin Brudgom.
And I, John, saw the holy city, the New Jerusalem, descending from God, out of heaven, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Og jeg hørte en høj Røst fra Himmelen, som sagde: Se, Guds Telt er hos Menneskene, og han skal bo hos dem, og de skulle være hans Folk, og Gud selv skal være hos dem og være deres Gud.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall pitch his tent among them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be among them--their God.
4 Og han skal aftørre hver Taare af deres Øjne, og Døden skal ikke være mere, ej heller Sorg, ej heller Skrig, ej heller Pine skal være mere; thi det forrige er veget bort.
And he shall away wipe every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, nor grief, nor crying; nor shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 Og han, som sad paa Tronen, sagde: Se, jeg gør alle Ting nye. Og han siger til mig: Skriv; thi disse Ord ere troværdige og sande.
And he that sat upon the throne, said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said, Write, for these are true and faithful words.
6 Og han sagde til mig: De ere skete. Jeg er Alfa og Omega, Begyndelsen og Enden. Jeg vil give den tørstige af Livets Vands Kilde uforskyldt.
And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End: I will give to him that is athirst, of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 Den, som sejrer, skal arve dette, og jeg vil være hans Gud, og han skal være min Søn.
The conqueror shall inherit all things: and I will be to him a God, and he shall be to me my son.
9 Og en af de syv Engle, som havde de syv Skaaler, der vare fulde af de syv sidste Plager, kom og talte med mig og sagde: Kom, jeg vil vise dig Bruden, Lammets Hustru.
And there came one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues; and spoke with me, saying, Come, and I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 Og han førte mig i Aanden hen paa et stort og højt Bjerg og viste mig den hellige Stad, Jerusalem, stigende ned fra Himmelen fra Gud
And he brought me, in the Spirit, to a great and high mountain; and he showed me the city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 med Guds Herlighed. Dens Glans var som den kostbareste Sten, som krystalklar Jaspissten.
having the glory of God; (its luster was like that of a precious gem, even as a jasper stone, clear as crystal, )
12 Den havde en stor og høj Mur; den havde tolv Porte og over Portene tolv Engle og paaskrevne Navne, hvilke ere Israels Børns tolv Stammers;
having a great and high wall; having also twelve gates, and over the gates twelve angels, and names written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel:
13 mod Øst tre Porte og mod Nord tre Porte og mod Syd tre Porte og mod Vest tre Porte.
on the east, three gates; on the north, three gates; and on the south, three gates; and on the west, three gates.
14 Og Stadens Mur havde tolv Grundstene, og paa dem Lammets tolv Apostles tolv Navne.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations; and on them the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
15 Og han, som talte med mig, havde en Maalestok, et Guldrør, for at han skulde maale Staden og dens Porte og dens Mur.
And he that spoke with me, had a golden reed, that he might measure the city, and its gates and wall.
16 Og Staden ligger i Firkant, og dens Længde er lige saa stor som Bredden. Og han maalte Staden med Røret: Tolv Tusinde Stadier; dens Længde, Bredde og Højde ere lige.
And the city is square, and its length is equal to its breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: and its length and its breadth, and its hight are equal.
17 Og han maalte dens Mur, hundrede og fire og fyrretyve Alen, efter Menneskemaal, hvilket er Englemaal.
And he measured its wall, one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
18 Og dens Murværk var Jaspis, og Staden var rent Guld, lig det rene Glar.
And the wall was built of jasper, and the city was pure gold, like refined glass.
19 Stadmurens Grundstene vare prydede med alle Haande Ædelstene: Den første Grundsten var Jaspis, den anden Safir, den tredje Kalkedon, den fjerde Smaragd,
And the foundations of the walls of the city, were adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation is jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
20 den femte Sardonyks, den sjette Sarder, den syvende Krysolit, den ottende Beryl, den niende Topas, den tiende Krysopras, den ellevte Hyacint, den tolvte Ametyst.
the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.
21 Og de tolv Porte vare tolv Perler, hver af Portene var af een Perle, og Stadens Gade var rent Guld som gennemsigtigt Glar.
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: each of the gates was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 Og jeg saa intet Tempel i den; thi dens Tempel er Herren, Gud, den almægtige, og Lammet.
And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple of it.
23 Og Staden trænger ikke til Sol eller Maane til at skinne for den; thi Guds Herlighed oplyste den, og Lammet var dens Lys.
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it; for the glory of the Lord enlightened it, and the Lamb is the light of it.
24 Og Folkeslagene skulle vandre i dens Lys, og Jordens Konger bringe deres Herlighed til den,
And the nations of the saved shall walk in its light; and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and their honor into it.
25 og dens Porte skulle ikke lukkes om Dagen; thi Nat skal ikke være der,
And the gates of it shall not be shut by day; (for there shall be no night there.)
26 og de skulle bringe Folkeslagenes Herlighed og Ære til den.
And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
27 Og intet urent skal komme ind i den, ej heller nogen, som øver Vederstyggelighed og Løgn; kun de, som ere skrevne i Lammets Livets Bog.
And nothing unclean shall enter into it, nor anything which practices abomination and falsehood; but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
