Revelation 21
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more.
Og jeg saa en ny Himmel og en ny Jord; thi den forrige Himmel og den forrige Jord var veget bort, og Havet var ikke mere.
2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
Og jeg saa den hellige Stad, det nye Jerusalem, stige ned fra Himmelen fra Gud, beredet som en Brud, der er smykket for sin Brudgom.
3 And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] 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 and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed away.
Og han skal aftørre hver Taare 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 And he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith, Write: for these words are faithful and true.
Og han, som sad paa Tronen, sagde: Se, jeg gør alle Ting nye. Og han siger til mig: Skriv; thi disse Ord ere troværdige og sande.
6 And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
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 He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Den, som sejrer, skal arve dette, og jeg vil være hans Gud, og han skal være min Søn.
9 And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
Og en af de syv Engle, som havde de syv Skaaler, der vare fulde af de syv sidste Plager, kom og talte med mig og sagde: Kom, jeg vil vise dig Bruden, Lammets Hustru.
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and shewed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
Og han førte mig i Aanden hen paa et stort og højt Bjerg og viste mig den hellige Stad, Jerusalem, stigende ned fra Himmelen fra Gud
11 having the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal:
med Guds Herlighed. Dens Glans var som den kostbareste Sten, som krystalklar Jaspissten.
12 having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, which are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
Den havde en stor og høj Mur; den havde tolv Porte og over Portene tolv Engle og paaskrevne Navne, hvilke ere Israels Børns tolv Stammers;
13 on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
mod Øst tre Porte og mod Nord tre Porte og mod Syd tre Porte og mod Vest tre Porte.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Og Stadens Mur havde tolv Grundstene, og paa dem Lammets tolv Apostles tolv Navne.
15 And he that spake with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
Og han, som talte med mig, havde en Maalestok, et Guldrør, for at han skulde maale Staden og dens Porte og dens Mur.
16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: the length and the breadth and the height thereof are equal.
Og Staden ligger i Firkant, og dens Længde er lige saa stor som Bredden. Og han maalte Staden med Røret: Tolv Tusinde Stadier; dens Længde, Bredde og Højde ere lige.
17 And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
Og han maalte dens Mur, hundrede og fire og fyrretyve Alen, efter Menneskemaal, hvilket er Englemaal.
18 And the building of the wall thereof was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto pure glass.
Og dens Murværk var Jaspis, og Staden var rent Guld, lig det rene Glar.
19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
Stadmurens Grundstene vare prydede med alle Haande Ædelstene: Den første Grundsten var Jaspis, den anden Safir, den tredje Kalkedon, den fjerde Smaragd,
20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; 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 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the several gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent 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 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof.
Og jeg saa intet Tempel i den; thi dens Tempel er Herren, Gud, den almægtige, og Lammet.
23 And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine upon it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp thereof [is] the Lamb.
Og Staden trænger ikke til Sol eller Maane til at skinne for den; thi Guds Herlighed oplyste den, og Lammet var dens Lys.
24 And the nations shall walk amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory into it.
Og Folkeslagene skulle vandre i dens Lys, og Jordens Konger bringe deres Herlighed til den,
25 And the gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there):
og dens Porte skulle ikke lukkes om Dagen; thi Nat skal ikke være der,
26 and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it:
og de skulle bringe Folkeslagenes Herlighed og Ære til den.
27 and there shall in no wise enter into it anything unclean, or he that maketh an abomination and a lie: but only they which 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.
