Apocalypsis 21
1 Et vidi cælum novum, et terram novam. Primum enim cælum, et prima terra abiit, et mare iam non est.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was 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, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as 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:
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as 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.
‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former 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.
And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.”
6 Et dixit mihi: Factum est. ego sum?, et?: initium, et finis. Ego sitienti dabo de fonte aquæ vitæ, gratis.
And He told me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give freely from the spring of the water of life.
7 Qui vicerit, possidebit hæc, et ero illi Deus, et ille erit mihi filius.
The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and 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.
Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and said to me, “Come, 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,
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,
11 habentem claritatem Dei: et lumen eius simile lapidi pretioso tamquam lapidi iaspidis, sicut crystallum.
shining with the glory of God. Its radiance was like a most precious jewel, like a jasper, as 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.
The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve angels at the gates.
13 Ab Oriente portæ tres: et ab Aquilone portæ tres: et ab Austro portæ tres: et ab Occasu portæ tres.
There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.
14 Et murus civitatis habens fundamenta duodecim, et in ipsis duodecim nomina duodecim Apostolorum Agni.
The wall of the city had twelve foundations bearing the 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.
The angel who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls.
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, with its width the same as its length. And he measured the city with the rod, and all its dimensions were equal—12,000 stadia in length and width and height.
17 Et mensus est murum eius centem quadraginta quattuor cubitorum, mensura hominis, quæ est angeli.
And he measured its wall to be 144 cubits, by the human measure the angel was using.
18 Et erat structura muri eius ex lapide iaspide: ipsa vero civitas aurum mundum simile vitro mundo.
The wall was made of jasper, and the city itself of pure gold, as pure as glass.
19 Et fundamenta muri civitatis omni lapide pretioso ornata. Fundamentum primum, iaspis: secundum, sapphirus: tertium, calcedonius: quartum, smaragdus:
The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone: 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 carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, 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.
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, with each gate consisting of a single pearl. The main street of the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.
22 Et templum non vidi in ea. Dominus enim Deus omnipotens templum illius est, et Agnus.
But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God 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.
And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24 Et ambulabunt gentes in lumine eius: et reges terræ afferent gloriam suam, et honorem in illam.
By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory.
25 Et portæ eius non claudentur per diem: nox enim non erit illic.
Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there.
26 Et afferent gloriam, et honorem gentium in illam.
And into the city will be brought the glory and honor of the nations.
27 Non intrabit in eam aliquod coinquinatum, aut abominationem faciens, et mendacium, nisi qui scripti sunt in libro vitæ Agni.
But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
