Revelation 21
1 AND I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were gone; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I saw the holy town, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, like a bride made beautiful for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall pitch his tent with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their own God.
And there came to my ears a great voice out of the high seat, saying, See, the Tent of God is with men, and he will make his living-place with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more; nor shall mourning, nor crying, nor toil be any more: because the former things are passed away.
And he will put an end to all their weeping; and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain; for the first things have come to an end.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Lo! I make all things new: and he said unto me, Write that these sayings are true and faithful.
And he who is seated on the high seat said, See, I make all things new. And he said, Put it in the book; for these words are certain and true.
6 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.
And he said to me, It is done. I am the First and the Last, the start and the end. I will freely give of the fountain of the water of life to him who is in need.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be to him a God, and he shall be to me a son.
He who overcomes will have these things for his heritage; and I will be his God, and he will be my son.
8 But to those who shrink back through fear, and to the infidels, and to the abominable, and to murderers, and to whoremongers, and to those who use magical incantations, and to idolaters, and to all liars, is their portion appointed in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
But those who are full of fear and without faith, the unclean and takers of life, those who do the sins of the flesh, and those who make use of evil powers or who give worship to images, and all those who are false, will have their part in the sea of ever-burning fire which is the second death. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
9 And there came to me one of the seven angels who held the seven vases full of the seven last plagues, and he talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
And one of the seven angels who had the seven vessels in which were the seven last punishments, came and said to me, Come here, and see the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 And he bore me away in spirit unto a great and exceeding high mountain, and shewed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
And he took me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and let me see the holy town Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 having the glory of God: and her brilliance was like the most precious gem, as a jasper stone, transparent as crystal;
Having the glory of God: and her light was like a stone of great price, a jasper stone, clear as glass:
12 and she had a great wall and lofty, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
She had a wall great and high, with twelve doors, and at the doors twelve angels; and names on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
13 From the east three gates; from the north three gates; from the south three gates; from the west three gates.
And on the east were three doors; and on the north three doors; and on the south three doors; and on the west three doors.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
And the wall of the town had twelve bases, and on them the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
15 And he that talked with me held a golden cane to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
And he who was talking with me had a gold measuring-rod to take the measure of the town, and of its doors, and its wall.
16 And the city is a quadrangle, and the breadth of it is just as much as the length of it; and he measured the city with the cane, twelve thousand furlongs: the breadth, and the length, and the height of it, are exactly proportioned.
And the town is square, as wide as it is long; and he took the measure of the town with the rod, one thousand and five hundred miles: it is equally long and wide and high.
17 He measured also the wall of it a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, for such is that of an angel.
And he took the measure of its wall, one hundred and forty-four cubits, after the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
18 The structure of the wall of it was jasper, and the city pure gold, like clear glass.
And the building of its wall was of jasper, and the town was clear gold, clear as glass.
19 And the foundations of the walls of the city were adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation a jasper; the second a sapphire; the third a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald;
The bases of the wall of the town had ornaments of all sorts of beautiful stones. The first base was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
20 the fifth a sardonyx; the sixth a sardius; the seventh a chrysolite; the eighth a beryl; the ninth a topaz; the tenth a chrysoprasus; the eleventh a jacinth; the twelfth an amethyst.
The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve several pearls; every one of the gates was of one pearl; and the street of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass.
And the twelve doors were twelve pearls; every door was made of one pearl; and the street of the town was clear gold, as clear as glass.
22 And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty is the temple thereof, even the Lamb.
And I saw no Temple there; because the Lord God, the Ruler of all, and the Lamb are its Temple.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine upon it: for the glory of God illuminates it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof.
And the town has no need of the sun, or of the moon, to give it light: for the glory of God did make it light, and the light of it is the Lamb.
24 And the nations of those that are saved shall walk about in the light thereof; and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and their honour into it;
And the nations will go in its light: and the kings of the earth will take their glory into it.
25 and her gates shall be never shut by day (for there is no night there);
And the doors of it will never be shut by day (for there is no night there):
26 and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it.
And the glory and honour of the nations will come into it:
27 And there shall no more enter into it any thing unclean, or that practises abomination and lying; but only those who are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
And nothing unclean may come into it, or anyone whose works are cursed or false; but only those whose names are in the Lamb's book of life.
