Revelation 21
1 Then I saw new heavens and a new earth. The former heavens and the former earth had passed away; and the sea has ceased to be.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲡⲉ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲁϩ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲛⲉⲥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϭⲉ
2 And I saw the Holy City, Jerusalem, descending new out of Heaven from God, like a bride adorned in readiness for her husband.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲥⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ⲉⲥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲏⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, which said — ‘See! the Tabernacle of God is set up among men. God will dwell among them, and they will be his Peoples, and God himself will be among them,
ⲅ̅ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲉⲥⲕⲏⲛⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
4 and he will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, nor will there be any more grief or crying or pain. The old order has passed away.’
ⲇ̅ⲛⲉϥϥⲱⲧⲉ ⲛⲣⲙⲉⲓⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲏⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ
5 And he who was seated on the throne said — ‘See, I make all things new!’ And he said — ‘Write this, for these words may be trusted and are true.’
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓ ⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲓⲉ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲥϩⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲛϩⲟⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲙⲉ ⲛⲉ
6 And he said to me — ‘They are fulfilled. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who thirsts I will give of the spring of the Water of Life, freely.

7 He who conquers shall enter into possession of these things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my Son.

9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, and were laden with the seven last Curses, came and spoke to me. ‘Come here,’ he said, ‘and I will show you the Bride, the Wife of the Lamb.’
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲁϣϥ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲥⲁϣϥⲉ ⲙⲫⲓⲁⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲙⲉϩ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲗⲏⲅⲏ ⲛϩⲁⲏ ⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲕ ⲉⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ⲧϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ
10 He carried me away in a trance to a great high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the Holy City, descending out of Heaven from God, filled with the glory of God.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲓⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉϫⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲟϭ ⲉϥϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲓ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲑⲓⲉⲗⲏⲙ ⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
11 Its brilliance was like that of some very precious stone, like a jasper, transparent as crystal.

12 It had a great high wall, in which were twelve gates; and at these gates there were twelve angels, and there were names inscribed on the gates, the names of the twelve tribes of the Israelites.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲃⲧ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲉϥϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲉⲩⲛ ⲙⲛⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲙⲡⲩⲗⲱⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲙⲛⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲓϫⲛ ⲙⲡⲩⲗⲱⲛ ⲉⲣⲉϩⲉⲛⲣⲁⲛ ⲥⲏϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲣⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲙⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲛⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲥⲗ
13 ‘There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.’
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲣⲉϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲙⲡⲩⲗⲱⲛ ϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲉⲃⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲙⲡⲩⲗⲱⲛ ⲉⲡⲙϩⲓⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲉⲡⲉⲙⲛⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲉⲡⲣⲏⲥ
14 The wall of the City had twelve foundation stones, on which were the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉϫⲛ ⲙⲛⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲥⲛⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲥⲟⲃⲧ ⲛⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲥⲏϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲙⲛⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ
15 And the angel who was speaking to me had as a measure a gold rod, with which to measure the City and its gates and its wall.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲁϣ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲛϣⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲓ ⲛⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲡⲩⲗⲱⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲥⲟⲃⲧ
16 The City is square; the length and the breadth are the same. The angel measured with his rod; it was twelve hundred miles; its length, and breadth, and height are equal.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛⲉⲥⲟ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲣⲁⲅⲱⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲥϣⲓⲏ ϣⲏϣ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲥⲟⲩⲱϣⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϣⲓ ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϣ ϣⲁ ⲙⲛⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲛϣⲉ ⲛⲥⲧⲁⲇⲓⲟⲛ ⲛϣⲓⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲥⲟⲩⲱϣⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲥϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲏϣ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ
17 Then he measured the wall; it was two hundred and eighty-eight feet, as men measure, that is as the angel measured.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϣⲓ ⲡⲉⲥⲥⲟⲃⲧ ⲛϣⲉ ϩⲙⲉ ⲧⲁϥⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲁϩⲉ ⲙⲡϣⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ
18 The material of the wall of the City was jasper, and the City was built of pure gold, which shone like clear glass.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲥⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ϥⲕⲏⲧ ⲛⲓⲁⲥⲡⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲕⲏⲧ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲃⲁϭⲏⲉⲓⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
19 The foundations of the wall of the City were ornamented with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was a jasper; the second a sapphire; the third a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲥⲛⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲥⲟⲃⲧ ⲛⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲧⲁⲙⲓⲏⲩ ϩⲓ ⲉⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲥⲛⲧⲉ ⲉⲥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲥⲡⲓⲥ ⲧⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲡⲡⲓⲣⲟⲥ ⲧⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲛⲭⲁⲣⲭⲏⲇⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲙⲉϩϥⲧⲟⲉ ⲛⲥⲙⲁⲣⲅⲇⲟⲥ
20 the fifth a sardonyx; the sixth a carnelian; the seventh a chrysolite; the eighth a beryl; the ninth a topaz; the tenth a chrysoprase; the eleventh a hyacinth; and the twelfth an amethyst.

21 The twelve gates were made of twelve pearls, each gate of one pearl. The street of the City was of pure gold, transparent as glass.

22 And I saw no Temple there, for the Lord, our God, the Almighty, and the Lamb are its Temple.

23 The City has no need of ‘the sun or the moon to shine upon it, for the Glory of God illuminated it,’ and its Lamp was the Lamb.
