Revelation 21
1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and the sea no longer existed.
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.
2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, prepared like a bride made beautiful for her husband.
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.
3 I heard a loud voice from the throne say, “Now God's home is with human beings and he will live with them. They will be his people. God himself will be with them as their God.
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.
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will never happen again. There will be no mourning or crying or pain ever again for the former world no longer exists.”
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.
5 The one who sits on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” He told me, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
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.
6 Then he said to me, “Everything's done! I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. To anyone who is thirsty I will give the free gift of water from the spring of the water of life.
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.
7 Those who are victorious will inherit all these things, and I will be their God and they shall be my children.
Den, som sejrer, skal arve dette, og jeg vil være hans God, og han skal være min Søn.
8 But anyone who is a coward, who doesn't trust me, who does disgusting things, who is a murderer, who is sexually immoral, who practices witchcraft, who worships idols, who tells lies—their chosen place is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and spoke to me. He told me, “Come with me. I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.”
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.
10 He took me in the Spirit to the top of a very high mountain. There he showed me the holy city Jerusalem descending from God out of heaven,
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
11 shining with the glory of God's presence. The light sparkled like that from a gemstone, a jasper, clear and bright.
med Guds Herlighed. Dens Glans var som den kostbareste Sten, som krystalklar Jaspissten.
12 The city wall was high and thick, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. On the gates were inscribed the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.
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;
13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.
mod Øst tre Porte og mod Nord tre Porte og mod Syd tre Porte og mod Vest tre Porte.
14 The city wall had twelve foundations, and inscribed on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Og Stadens Mur havde tolv Grundsten, og på dem Lammets tolv Apostles tolv Navne.
15 The angel who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
Og han, som talte med mig, havde en Målestok, et Guldrør, for at han skulde måle Staden og dens Porte og dens Mur.
16 The city was square. The length was the same as the width. He measured the city with the rod, it was 12,000 furlongs. The length, width, and height were all the same.
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.
17 He measured the wall and it was 144 cubits thick in human measurements that the angel was using.
Og han målte dens Mur, hundrede og fire og fyrretyve Alen, efter Menneskemål, hvilket er Englemål.
18 The wall was built out of jasper. The city was made of pure gold that looked like glass.
Og dens Murværk var Jaspis, og Staden var af rent Guld, lig det rene Glar.
19 The foundations of the city wall were decorated with all kinds of gemstones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
Stadmurens Grundsten vare prydede med alle Hånde Ædelsten: den første Grundsten var Jaspis, den anden Safir, den tredje Kalkedon, den fjerde Smaragd,
20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth, chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
den femte Sardonyks, den sjette Sarder, den syvende Krysolit, den ottende Beryl, den niende Topas, den tiende Krysopras, den ellevte Hyacint, den tolvte Ametyst.
21 The twelve gates were made of pearl, each one made from a single pearl. The main street was made of pure gold, clear like glass.
Og de tolv Porte vare tolv Perler, hver af Portene var af een Perle, og Stadens Gade var rent Guld som gennemsigtigt Glar.
22 I did not see a temple there, because the Lord God the All-powerful One, and the Lamb, they are its temple.
Og jeg så intet Tempel i den; thi dens Tempel er Herren, Gud, den almægtige, og Lammet.
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it because the glory of God provides its light—the Lamb is its lamp.
Og Staden trænger ikke til Sol eller Måne til at skinne for den; thi Guds Herlighed oplyste den, og Lammet var dens Lys.
24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory into the city.
Og Folkeslagene skulle vandre i dens Lys, og Jordens Konger bringe deres Herlighed til den,
25 The gates of the city will never be shut during the day (and there will be no night there).
og dens Porte skulle ikke lukkes om Dagen; thi Nat skal ikke være der,
26 The nations' honor and glory will be brought into the city.
og de skulle bringe Folkeslagenes Herlighed og Ære til den.
27 Nothing unclean will ever enter into it, or anyone who worships idols, or who is a liar—only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
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.
