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.
Then I saw new heavens and a new earth. The former heavens and the former earth had passed away; and the sea has ceased to be.
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 saw the Holy City, Jerusalem, descending new out of heaven from God, like a bride adorned in readiness 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 loud voice from the throne, which said – “See! The tent of God is set up among people. God will live among them, and they will be his Peoples, and God himself will be among them,
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 will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, nor will there be any more grief or crying or pain. The old order has 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 who was seated on the throne said – “See, I make all things new!” And he said – “Write this, for these words may be trusted and are true.”
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 – “They are fulfilled. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End. To those who thirst I will give of the spring 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.
Those who conquer will enter into possession of these things, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.
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.
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, and were laden with the seven last curses, came and spoke to me. “Come here,” he said, “and I will show you the Bride, the Wife of the Lamb.”
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
He carried me away in a trance to a great high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the Holy City, descending out of heaven from God, filled with the glory of God.
11 med Guds Herlighed. Dens Glans var som den kostbareste Sten, som krystalklar Jaspissten.
Its brilliance was like a precious stone, like a jasper, transparent 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;
It had a great high wall, in which were twelve gates; and at these gates there were twelve angels, and there were names inscribed on the gates, the names of the twelve tribes of the Israelites.
13 mod Øst tre Porte og mod Nord tre Porte og mod Syd tre Porte og mod Vest tre Porte.
There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
14 Og Stadens Mur havde tolv Grundstene, og paa dem Lammets tolv Apostles tolv Navne.
The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, on which were the twelve 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 the angel who was speaking to me had as a measure a gold rod, with which to measure the city and its gates and its 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.
The city is square; the length and the breadth are the same. The angel measured with his rod; it was twelve hundred miles; its length, and breadth, and height are equal.
17 Og han maalte dens Mur, hundrede og fire og fyrretyve Alen, efter Menneskemaal, hvilket er Englemaal.
Then he measured the wall; it was two hundred and eighty-eight feet, as people measure, that is as the angel measured.
18 Og dens Murværk var Jaspis, og Staden var rent Guld, lig det rene Glar.
The material of the wall of the city was jasper, and the city was built of pure gold, which shone like clear glass.
19 Stadmurens Grundstene vare prydede med alle Haande Ædelstene: Den første Grundsten var Jaspis, den anden Safir, den tredje Kalkedon, den fjerde Smaragd,
The foundations of the wall of the city were ornamented with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was a jasper; the second a sapphire; the third a chalcedony; the fourth an 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 a sardonyx; the sixth a carnelian; the seventh a chrysolite; the eighth a beryl; the ninth a topaz; the tenth a chrysoprase; the eleventh a hyacinth; and the twelfth an 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.
The twelve gates were made of twelve pearls, each gate of one pearl. The street of the city was of pure gold, transparent as glass.
22 Og jeg saa intet Tempel i den; thi dens Tempel er Herren, Gud, den almægtige, og Lammet.
And I saw no Temple there, for the Lord, our God, the Almighty, and the Lamb are its Temple.
23 Og Staden trænger ikke til Sol eller Maane til at skinne for den; thi Guds Herlighed oplyste den, og Lammet var dens Lys.
The city has no need of the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God illuminated it, and its Lamp was the Lamb.
24 Og Folkeslagene skulle vandre i dens Lys, og Jordens Konger bringe deres Herlighed til den,
The nations walk by the light of it; and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it.
25 og dens Porte skulle ikke lukkes om Dagen; thi Nat skal ikke være der,
Its gates will never be shut by day, and there will be no night there.
26 og de skulle bringe Folkeslagenes Herlighed og Ære til den.
And people will bring the glory and honour 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.
Never will any unhallowed thing enter it, nor they whose life is shameful and false, but only those whose names have been written in the Lamb’s book of life.
