Apocalypsis 21
1 Et vidi cælum novum, et terram novam. Primum enim cælum, et prima terra abiit, et mare iam non est.
I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.
2 Et ego Ioannes vidi sanctam civitatem Ierusalem novam descendentem de cælo a Deo, paratam, sicut sponsam ornatam viro suo.
I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Et audivi vocem magnam de throno dicentem: Ecce tabernaculum Dei cum hominibus, et habitabit cum eis. Et ipsi populus eius erunt, et ipse Deus cum eis erit eorum Deus:
I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look, the tabernacle of God is with humans, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
4 et absterget Deus omnem lacrymam ab oculis eorum: et mors ultra non erit, neque luctus, neque clamor, neque dolor erit ultra, quia prima abierunt.
And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, nor will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the first things have passed away."
5 Et dixit qui sedebat in throno: Ecce nova facio omnia. Et dixit mihi: Scribe, quia hæc verba fidelissima sunt, et vera.
He who sits on the throne said, "Look, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."
6 Et dixit mihi: Factum est. Ego sum α, et ω: initium, et finis. Ego sitienti dabo de fonte aquæ vitæ, gratis.
He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.
7 Qui vicerit, possidebit hæc, et ero illi Deus, et ille erit mihi filius.
He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.
9 Et venit unus de septem Angelis habentibus phialas plenas septem plagis novissimis, et locutus est mecum, dicens: Veni, et ostendam tibi sponsam, uxorem Agni.
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, full of the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."
10 Et sustulit me in spiritu in montem magnum, et altum, et ostendit mihi civitatem sanctam Ierusalem descendentem de cælo a Deo,
He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 habentem claritatem Dei: et lumen eius simile lapidi pretioso tamquam lapidi iaspidis, sicut crystallum.
having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it was a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 Et habebat murum magnum, et altum, habentem portas duodecim: et in portis Angelos duodecim, et nomina inscripta, quæ sunt nomina duodecim tribuum filiorum Israel.
having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
13 Ab Oriente portæ tres: et ab Aquilone portæ tres: et ab Austro portæ tres: et ab Occasu portæ tres.
On the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 Et murus civitatis habens fundamenta duodecim, et in ipsis duodecim nomina duodecim Apostolorum Agni.
The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Et qui loquebatur mecum, habebat mensuram arundineam auream, ut metiretur civitatem, et portas eius, et murum.
He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
16 Et civitas in quadro posita est, et longitudo eius tanta est quanta et latitudo: et mensus est civitatem de arundine aurea per stadia duodecim millia: et longitudo, et altitudo, et latitudo eius æqualia sunt.
The city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, one thousand three hundred eighty miles. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.
17 Et mensus est murum eius centem quadraginta quattuor cubitorum, mensura hominis, quæ est Angeli.
Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by human measurement, that is, of an angel.
18 Et erat structura muri eius ex lapide iaspide: ipsa vero civitas aurum mundum simile vitro mundo.
The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.
19 Et fundamenta muri civitatis omni lapide pretioso ornata. Fundamentum primum, iaspis: secundum, sapphirus: tertium, calcedonius: quartum, smaragdus:
The foundations of the city's wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
20 quintum, sardonyx: sextum, sardius: septimum, chrysolithus: octavum, beryllus: nonum, topazius: decimum, chrysoprasus: undecimum, hyacinthus: duodecimum, amethystus.
the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.
21 Et duodecim portæ, duodecim margaritæ sunt, per singulas: et singulæ portæ erant ex singulis margaritis: et platea civitatis aurum mundum, tamquam vitrum perlucidum.
The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 Et templum non vidi in ea. Dominus enim Deus omnipotens templum illius est, et Agnus.
I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 Et civitas non eget sole, neque luna ut luceant in ea. Nam claritas Dei illuminavit eam, et lucerna eius est Agnus.
The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
24 Et ambulabunt gentes in lumine eius: et reges terræ afferent gloriam suam, et honorem in illam.
The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring their splendor into it.
25 Et portæ eius non claudentur per diem: nox enim non erit illic.
Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
26 Et afferent gloriam, et honorem gentium in illam.
and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
27 Non intrabit in eam aliquod coinquinatum, aut abominationem faciens, et mendacium, nisi qui scripti sunt in libro vitæ Agni.
There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
