Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; also, the ocean was no more.

2 aparaM svargAd avarOhantI pavitrA nagarI, arthatO navInA yirUzAlamapurI mayA dRSTA, sA varAya vibhUSitA kanyEva susajjitAsIt|

And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying: “Take note, the tabernacle of God is with men and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people. Yes, God Himself will be with them.

4 tESAM nEtrEbhyazcAzrUNi sarvvANIzvarENa pramArkSyantE mRtyurapi puna rna bhaviSyati zOkavilApaklEzA api puna rna bhaviSyanti, yataH prathamAni sarvvANi vyatItini|

And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there will be no more death nor sorrow nor crying nor pain—they will exist no more because the first things have gone.”

5 aparaM siMhAsanOpaviSTO janO'vadat pazyAhaM sarvvANi nUtanIkarOmi| punaravadat likha yata imAni vAkyAni satyAni vizvAsyAni ca santi|

Then He who sat on the throne said, “Take note, I make everything new!” And He says to me, “Write, because these words are true and faithful!”

6 pana rmAm avadat samAptaM, ahaM kaH kSazca, aham Adirantazca yaH pipAsati tasmA ahaM jIvanadAyiprasravaNasya tOyaM vinAmUlyaM dAsyAmi|

Then He said to me: “I have become the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts I will give of the spring of the water of Life freely.

7 yO jayati sa sarvvESAm adhikArI bhaviSyati, ahanjca tasyEzvarO bhaviSyAmi sa ca mama putrO bhaviSyati|

He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be God to him and he will be a son to me.

But as for the cowardly and unbelieving and sinners and abominable and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters, and all who are false, their portion is in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me saying, “Come, I will show you the woman, the Lamb's bride.”

10 tataH sa AtmAviSTaM mAm atyuccaM mahAparvvatamEMka nItvEzvarasya sannidhitaH svargAd avarOhantIM yirUzAlamAkhyAM pavitrAM nagarIM darzitavAn|

So he transported me in spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

11 sA IzvarIyapratApaviziSTA tasyAstEjO mahArgharatnavad arthataH sUryyakAntamaNitEjastulyaM|

having the splendor of God. Her radiance was similar to a most precious stone, like a crystalline jasper stone;

she had a tremendous, high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, namely the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel;

13 pUrvvadizi trINi gOpurANi uttaradizi trINi gOpurANi dakSiNadiSi trINi gOpurANi pazcImadizi ca trINi gOpurANi santi|

looking from the east, three gates, and from the north, three gates, and from the south, three gates, and from the west, three gates.

14 nagaryyAH prAcIrasya dvAdaza mUlAni santi tatra mESAzAvAkasya dvAdazaprEritAnAM dvAdaza nAmAni likhitAni|

And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names, of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 anaraM nagaryyAstadIyagOpurANAM tatprAcIrasya ca mApanArthaM mayA sambhASamANasya dUtasya karE svarNamaya EkaH parimANadaNPa AsIt|

Now he who spoke with me had a measure, a golden reed, so that he might measure the city and her gates.

The city is laid out as a square; that is, her length is equal to her width. So he measured the city with the reed at twelve thousand and twelve stadia. Her length and width and height are equal.

17 aparaM sa tasyAH prAcIraM parimitavAn tasya mAnavAsyArthatO dUtasya parimANAnusAratastat catuzcatvAriMzadadhikAzatahastaparimitaM |

And he measured her wall, one hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man (which is of an angel).

18 tasya prAcIrasya nirmmitiH sUryyakAntamaNibhi rnagarI ca nirmmalakAcatulyEna zuddhasuvarNEna nirmmitA|

The material of her wall was jasper, and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.

And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation had jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.

And the twelve gates are twelve pearls; each individual gate was composed of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

22 tasyA antara Ekamapi mandiraM mayA na dRSTaM sataH sarvvazaktimAn prabhuH paramEzvarO mESazAvakazca svayaM tasya mandiraM|

I saw no sanctuary in her, because the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb are her sanctuary.

23 tasyai nagaryyai dIptidAnArthaM sUryyAcandramasOH prayOjanaM nAsti yata Izvarasya pratApastAM dIpayati mESazAvakazca tasyA jyOtirasti|

And the city has no need of the sun or the moon, that they should shine on her, because the very glory of God illumines her, and the Lamb is her light.

24 paritrANaprAptalOkanivahAzca tasyA AlOkE gamanAgamanE kurvvanti pRthivyA rAjAnazca svakIyaM pratApaM gauravanjca tanmadhyam Anayanti|

And the nations will walk in her light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into her.

25 tasyA dvArANi divA kadApi na rOtsyantE nizApi tatra na bhaviSyati|

Her gates will absolutely not be closed by day (and no night will exist there).

26 sarvvajAtInAM gauravapratApau tanmadhyam AnESyEtE|

And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into her.

27 parantvapavitraM ghRNyakRd anRtakRd vA kimapi tanmadhyaM na pravEkSyati mESazAvakasya jIvanapustakE yESAM nAmAni likhitAni kEvalaM ta Eva pravEkSyanti|

But anything ‘common’ or anyone perpetrating an abomination or a lie will absolutely not enter her; only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
