Aabenbaringen 21
1 Og jeg så 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 first Heaven and the first earth were gone, and the sea no longer exists.
2 Og jeg så den hellige Stad, det nye Jerusalem, stige ned fra Himmelen fra Gud, beredt som en Brud, der er smykket før sin Brudgom.
And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God and made ready like a bride attired to meet 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, which came from the throne, say, "God's dwelling place is among men and He will dwell among them and they shall be His peoples. Yes, God Himself will be among them.
4 Og han skal aftørre hver Tåre 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.
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death shall be no more; nor sorrow, nor wail of woe, nor pain; for the first things have passed away."
5 Og han, som sad på Tronen, sagde: Se, jeg gør alle Ting nye. Og han siger til mig: Skriv; thi disse Ord ere troværdige og sande.
Then He who was seated on the throne said, "I am re-creating all things." And He added, "Write down these words, for they are trustworthy and 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.
He also said, "They have now been fulfilled. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To those who are thirsty I will give the privilege of drinking from the well of the Water of Life without payment.
7 Den, som sejrer, skal arve dette, og jeg vil være hans God, og han skal være min Søn.
All this shall be the heritage of him who overcomes, and I will be his God and he shall be one of My sons.
9 Og en af de syv Engle, som havde de syv Skåle, der vare fulde af de syv sidste Plager, kom og talte med mig og sagde: Kom, jeg vil vise dig Bruden, Lammets Hustru.
Then there came one of the seven angels who were carrying the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues. "Come with me," he said, "and I will show you the Bride, the Lamb's wife."
10 Og han førte mig i Ånden hen på et stort og højt Bjerg og viste mig den hellige Stad, Jerusalem, stigende ned fra Himmelen, fra Gud
So in the Spirit he carried me to the top of a vast, lofty mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God,
11 med Guds Herlighed. Dens Glans var som den kostbareste Sten, som krystalklar Jaspissten.
and bringing with it the glory of God. It shone with a radiance like that of a very precious stone--such as a jasper, bright and transparent.
12 Den havde en stor og høj Mur; den havde tolv Porte og over Portene tolv Engle og påskrevne Navne, hvilke ere Israels Børns tolv Stammers;
It has a wall, massive and high, with twelve large gates, and in charge of the gates were twelve angels. And overhead, above the gates, names were inscribed which are those of the twelve tribes of the descendants of Israel.
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 on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.
14 Og Stadens Mur havde tolv Grundsten, og på dem Lammets tolv Apostles tolv Navne.
The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and engraved upon them were twelve names--the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
15 Og han, som talte med mig, havde en Målestok, et Guldrør, for at han skulde måle Staden og dens Porte og dens Mur.
Now he who was speaking to me had a measuring-rod of gold, with which to measure the city and its gates and its wall.
16 Og Staden ligger i Firkant, og dens Længde er lige så stor som Bredden. Og han målte Staden med Røret: tolv Tusinde Stadier; dens Længde, Bredde og Højde ere lige.
The plan of the city is a square, the length being the same as the breadth; and he measured the city furlong by furlong, with his measuring rod--it is twelve hundred miles long, and the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
17 Og han målte dens Mur, hundrede og fire og fyrretyve Alen, efter Menneskemål, hvilket er Englemål.
And he measured the wall of it--a wall of a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to human measure, which was also that of the angel.
18 Og dens Murværk var Jaspis, og Staden var af rent Guld, lig det rene Glar.
The solid fabric of the wall was jasper; and the city itself was made of gold, resembling transparent glass.
19 Stadmurens Grundsten vare prydede med alle Hånde Ædelsten: den første Grundsten var Jaspis, den anden Safir, den tredje Kalkedon, den fjerde Smaragd,
As for the foundation-stones of the city wall, which were beautified with various kinds of precious stones, the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius,
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 seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, 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 them consisting of a single pearl. And the main street of the city was made of pure gold, resembling transparent glass.
22 Og jeg så intet Tempel i den; thi dens Tempel er Herren, Gud, den almægtige, og Lammet.
I saw no sanctuary in the city, for the Lord God, the Ruler of all, is its Sanctuary, and so is the Lamb.
23 Og Staden trænger ikke til Sol eller Måne til at skinne for den; thi Guds Herlighed oplyste den, og Lammet var dens Lys.
Nor has the city any need of the sun or of the moon, to give it light; for the glory of God has shone upon it and its lamp is the Lamb.
24 Og Folkeslagene skulle vandre i dens Lys, og Jordens Konger bringe deres Herlighed til den,
The nations will live their lives by its light; and the kings of the earth are to bring their glory into it.
25 og dens Porte skulle ikke lukkes om Dagen; thi Nat skal ikke være der,
And in the daytime (for there will be no night there) the gates will never be closed;
26 og de skulle bringe Folkeslagenes Herlighed og Ære til den.
and the glory and honor of the nations shall be brought 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 no unclean thing shall ever enter it, nor any one who is guilty of base conduct or tells lies, but only they whose names stand recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life.
