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.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
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.
I also saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned 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 I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them.
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.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more, and there will no longer be mourning, crying, or pain, for the former things have passed away.”
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.
Then he who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And he said to me, “Write this down, for these words are true and trustworthy.”
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.
He also said to me, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To him who thirsts I will freely give from the spring of the water of life.
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 inherit these things; 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)
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.
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show yoʋ the wife, the bride of the Lamb.”
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 carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me the great city, the holy 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;
The city shone with the glory of God, and its radiance was like a very precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.
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.
It had a great, high wall with twelve gates. Twelve angels were at the gates, and on the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
13 From the east three gates; from the north three gates; from the south three gates; from the west three gates.
There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were 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.
The angel who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, 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.
The city is laid out as a square; its length is the same as its width. The angel measured the city with the rod and found it to be twelve thousand stadia. (The length, width, and height were all equal, each measuring twelve thousand stadia.)
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.
Then he measured its wall and found it to be one hundred forty-four cubits according to human measurement, which the angel was using.
18 The structure of the wall of it was jasper, and the city pure gold, like clear glass.
The wall was made of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear 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 foundations of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, agate; 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, carnelian; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; and 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.
The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each one of the gates was made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty is the temple thereof, even the Lamb.
I did not see a temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and so is the Lamb.
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.
The city has no need of sun or moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp 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;
The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring the glory and honor of the nations into the city to present to God.
25 and her gates shall be never shut by day (for there is no night there);
Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, for there will be no night there.
26 and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it.
They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into the city.
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.
But no unclean thing and nothing that causes an abomination or a lie will ever enter it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
