< Revelation 21 >
1 And I saw a new Heaven and a new earth; for the first Heaven and the first earth were gone, and the sea no longer exists.
AND I saw new heavens and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth had gone, and the sea was no more.
2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God and made ready like a bride attired to meet her husband.
And the holy city, Urishlem the new, I saw descending from heaven from Aloha, prepared as the bride is decked for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice, which came from the throne, say, "God's dwelling place is among men and He will dwell among them and they shall be His peoples. Yes, God Himself will be among them.
And I heard a great voice from heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of Aloha is with men; and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people; and Aloha himself will be with them, and will be their God.
4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death shall be no more; nor sorrow, nor wail of woe, nor pain; for the first things have passed away."
And every tear shall be wiped away from their eyes, and death shall be no more; nor sorrow, nor clamour, nor pain, shall be any more; for the former things are passed away.
5 Then He who was seated on the throne said, "I am re-creating all things." And He added, "Write down these words, for they are trustworthy and true."
And He who sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said, Write: for these are the faithful and true words of Aloha.
6 He also said, "They have now been fulfilled. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To those who are thirsty I will give the privilege of drinking from the well of the Water of Life without payment.
And he said to me, I am Olaph and Thau, the Beginning and the End. To him who thirsteth I will give of the water of life freely.
7 All this shall be the heritage of him who overcomes, and I will be his God and he shall be one of My sons.
He who overcometh shall inherit these; and I will be to him Aloha, and he shall be my son.
8 But as for cowards and the unfaithful, and the polluted, and murderers, fornicators, and those who practise magic or worship idols, and all liars--the portion allotted to them shall be in the Lake which burns with fire and sulphur. This is the Second Death." (Limnē Pyr )
But the fearful, and the faithless, and sinners, and the unclean, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and servers of idols, and all liars, (shall have) their portion in the lake which burneth with fire and sulphur; which is the second death. (Limnē Pyr )
9 Then there came one of the seven angels who were carrying the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues. "Come with me," he said, "and I will show you the Bride, the Lamb's wife."
And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, came and spake with me. saying, Come, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
10 So in the Spirit he carried me to the top of a vast, lofty mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God,
And he led me in spirit upon a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city Urishlem, descending from heaven from Aloha;
11 and bringing with it the glory of God. It shone with a radiance like that of a very precious stone--such as a jasper, bright and transparent.
having the glory of Aloha, as the clearness of light, like a stone of great price, as the stone Jaspon, resembling crystallos;
12 It has a wall, massive and high, with twelve large gates, and in charge of the gates were twelve angels. And overhead, above the gates, names were inscribed which are those of the twelve tribes of the descendants of Israel.
having a wall great and high, which had twelve gates, and names written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.
On the east three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and engraved upon them were twelve names--the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations; and upon them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Now he who was speaking to me had a measuring-rod of gold, with which to measure the city and its gates and its wall.
And he who talked with me had a measure, a rod of gold, that he might measure the city and the gates and the walls thereof.
16 The plan of the city is a square, the length being the same as the breadth; and he measured the city furlong by furlong, with his measuring rod--it is twelve hundred miles long, and the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
And the city was set four-square, and the length of it was as the breadth: and he measured the city with the rod, upon twelve stadia of twelve thousand. And the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
17 And he measured the wall of it--a wall of a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to human measure, which was also that of the angel.
And he measured the wall of it, an hundred and forty and four measures of the cubits of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 The solid fabric of the wall was jasper; and the city itself was made of gold, resembling transparent glass.
And the structure of the wall of it is (of) jaspis, and the city is of pure gold, like pure brightness.
19 As for the foundation-stones of the city wall, which were beautified with various kinds of precious stones, the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius,
And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation was of jaspis, the second sathphiros, the third caledon, the fourth zmoragdo,
20 the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
the fifth sardonicos, the sixth sardion, the seventh crisuthilos, the eighth berulla, the ninth topadion, the tenth chrosoposius, the eleventh hyacinthos, the twelfth amuthistos.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each of them consisting of a single pearl. And the main street of the city was made of pure gold, resembling transparent glass.
And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, each of every one of the gates (a pearl), and each of every one of the pearls (a gate). And the wide street of the city was of pure gold as the brightness of light.
22 I saw no sanctuary in the city, for the Lord God, the Ruler of all, is its Sanctuary, and so is the Lamb.
And a temple I saw not in it; for the Lord, the Omnipotent, is the temple thereof and the Lamb.
23 Nor has the city any need of the sun or of the moon, to give it light; for the glory of God has shone upon it and its lamp is the Lamb.
And the city hath no need of the sun nor of the moon to enlighten it; for the glory of Aloha illuminateth it, and the light thereof is the Lamb.
24 The nations will live their lives by its light; and the kings of the earth are to bring their glory into it.
And the nations of the saved walk by the light of it, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and the honour of the nations into it.
25 And in the daytime (for there will be no night there) the gates will never be closed;
And the gates of it shall not be shut by day, for night is not there.
26 and the glory and honor of the nations shall be brought into it.
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it;
27 And no unclean thing shall ever enter it, nor any one who is guilty of base conduct or tells lies, but only they whose names stand recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life.
and nothing shall enter into it that defileth, nor that worketh uncleanness; but they who are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
