< Revelation 21 >
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth passed away; and the sea is no more.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth did pass away, and the sea is not any more;
2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride is adorned for her husband.
and I, John, saw the holy city — new Jerusalem — coming down from God out of the heaven, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband;
3 And I heard a great voice speaking from the throne, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with the people, and he will tabernacle with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them:
and I heard a great voice out of the heaven, saying, 'Lo, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and He will tabernacle with them, and they shall be His peoples, and God Himself shall be with them — their God,
4 and he will wipe every tear out of their eyes; and there will be no more death, neither will there be any more sorrow, nor crying, nor pain: because the former things have passed away.
and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and the death shall not be any more, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor shall there be any more pain, because the first things did go away.'
5 And the one sitting on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says, Write: that these words are faithful and true.
And He who is sitting upon the throne said, 'Lo, new I make all things; and He saith to me, 'Write, because these words are true and stedfast;'
6 And he said to me, They are done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. To him who thirsts I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely.
and He said to me, 'It hath been done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End; I, to him who is thirsting, will give of the fountain of the water of the life freely;
7 The one conquering shall inherit all things; and I will be to him God, and he shall be to me a son.
he who is overcoming shall inherit all things, and I will be to him — a God, and he shall be to me — the son,
8 But to the cowardly, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and the murderers, and the fornicators, and the sorcerers, and the idolaters, and all liars, shall be their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. (Limnē Pyr )
and to fearful, and unstedfast, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their part [is] in the lake that is burning with fire and brimstone, which is a second death.' (Limnē Pyr )
9 And one of the seven angels having the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues, came and spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
And there came unto me one of the seven messengers, who have the seven vials that are full of the seven last plagues, and he spake with me, saying, 'Come, I will shew thee the bride of the Lamb — the wife,'
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,
and he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and did shew to me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,

having the glory of God, and her light [is] like a stone most precious, as a jasper stone clear as crystal,
12 having a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
having also a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written thereon, which are [those] of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel,
13 From the east, three gates; and from the north, three gates; and from the south, three gates; and from the west, three gates.
at the east three gates, at the north three gates, at the south three gates, at the west three gates;
14 And the wall of the city having twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And the one speaking with me, had a measure, a golden reed, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
And he who is speaking with me had a golden reed, that he may measure the city, and its gates, and its wall;
16 And the city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs; and the length, and the breadth, and the height of it are equal.
and the city lieth square, and the length of it is as great as the breadth; and he did measure the city with the reed — furlongs twelve thousand; the length, and the breadth, and the height, of it are equal;
17 And he measured the wall of it, a hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of the man, that is of the angel.
and he measured its wall, an hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of the messenger;
18 And the building of the wall was jasper: and the city pure gold, like transparent glass.
and the building of its wall was jasper, and the city [is] pure gold — like to pure glass;
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were ornamented with every precious stone: the first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedon; the fourth, emerald; the fifth, sardonyx;

22 And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God Almighty, and the Lamb, is its temple.
And a sanctuary I did not see in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, is its sanctuary, and the Lamb,
23 And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may light it:
and the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp of it [is] the Lamb;
24 and the nations will walk about through its light: and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.
and the nations of the saved in its light shall walk, and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it,
25 And the gates of it shall in no wise be shut in the day, for there will be no night there;
and its gates shall not at all be shut by day, for night shall not be there;
26 and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it;
27 And nothing unclean, and the one doing abomination, and falsehood, can at all enter into it: none except those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
and there may not at all enter into it any thing defiling and doing abomination, and a lie, but — those written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb.
