1 Pagkatapos nakita ko ang isang bagong langit at isang bagong mundo, dahil ang unang langit at unang mundo ay lumipas na, at ang dagat ay wala na.
Then [in the vision] I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and the oceans no longer existed.
2 Nakita ko ang banal na lungsod, ang bagong Jerusalem, na bumamababa mula sa langit mula sa Diyos, inihanda tulad ng isang babaeng ikakasal na pinaganda para sa kaniyang asawa.
I saw [God’s] holy city, which is the new [city of] Jerusalem. It was coming down out of heaven from God. [The city] had been prepared [and decorated] {[God] had prepared [and decorated the city]} as [SIM] a bride is decorated {decorates herself} [beautifully in order to marry] her husband.
3 Narinig ko ang isang malakas na tinig mula sa trono sinasabing: “Tingnan mo! Ang tirahan ng Diyos ay kasama ng mga tao, at siya ay naninirahan kasama nila. Sila ay magiging kaniyang bayan, at ang Diyos mismo ay makakasama nila at siya ay magiging kanilang Diyos.
I heard a loud voice that spoke from the throne [of God]. It said, “Listen to this! Now God will live with people. He will live [right in the midst of] them [DOU]! They will be his people. God himself will be with them, and he will be their God.
4 Papahirin niya ang bawat luha mula sa kanilang mga mata, wala nang kamatayan, o pagdadalamhati, o pag-iyak, o sakit. Ang naunang mga bagay ay lumipas na.
[As a result], he will [cause them to no longer be sad. It will be as though he will] [MTY] wipe every tear from their eyes. [None of them] will ever again die or mourn or cry [DOU] or suffer pain, because the former things [that make us sad] will have disappeared.”
5 Siya na nakaupo sa trono ay sinabing, “Tingnan mo! Ginawa kong bago ang lahat ng mga bagay.” Sinabi niya, “Isulat mo ito dahil ang mga salitang ito ay mapagkakatiwalaan at totoo.
Then [God], who sits on the throne, said, “Listen to this! I am [now] making everything new!” He said [to me]: “Write these things [that I have told you], because you can trust [that I will certainly cause them to happen].”
6 Sinabi niya sa akin, “Ang mga bagay ng ito ay tapos na, Ako ang Alpa at ang Omega, ang simula at ang katapusan. Sa sinumang nauuhaw ay bibigyan ko ng inuming walang bayad mula sa bukal ng tubig ng buhay.
He said to me, “I have finished [doing all the things I needed to do]. I am the one who began all things [MET] and the one who will cause all things to end [MET]. To everyone who is [spiritually] thirsty [MET], I will (freely give/give as a free gift) water from the spring [that causes people] to live [forever].
7 Ang isa na manlulupig ay magmamana ng mga bagay na ito, at ako ay magiging kaniyang Diyos, at siya ay magiging anak ko.
I will give this to every person who is victorious over [the evil powers] (OR, [over Satan]). I will be their God, and they will be my children.
8 Pero para sa mga duwag, sa walang pananampalataya, sa mga kasuklam-suklam, sa mga mamamatay-tao, sa mga sekswal na imoralidad, sa mga mangkukulam, mga sumasamba sa diyus-diyosan, at sa mga sinungaling, ang kanilang lugar ay sa dagat-dagatang apoy ng nagniningas na asupre. Na siyang ikalawang kamatayan. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
But those who are cowardly, those who do not believe [in me], those [who do] detestable things, those who are murderers, those who sin sexually, those who commit sorcery, those who worship idols, and every liar, will [all suffer] in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. [Anyone who suffers in that lake] will be dying the second time.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
9 Lumapit sa akin ang isa sa pitong mga anghel, siyang may hawak ng pitong mangkok na puno ng pitong huling mga salot, at sinabi, “Halika rito. Ipakikita ko sa iyo ang babaeng ikakasal, ang asawa ng Kordero.”
One of the seven angels who had one of the seven bowls that had been full of [the wine/liquid causing] [MTY] the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come [with me] and I will show you [the people who have permanently united with Christ, the one who is like a] lamb! They will be [like] [MET] a bride [for him].”
10 Pagkatapos dinala niya ako sa Espiritu sa isang malaki at mataas na bundok at ipinakita niya sa akin ang banal na lungsod, ang Jerusalem, na bumababa mula sa langit mula sa Diyos.
Then, while [God’s] Spirit [controlled me], the angel took/carried me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed me [God’s] holy city, [the New] Jerusalem. It was coming down out of heaven from God.
11 Mayroong kaluwalhatian ng Diyos ang Jerusalem, at ang kaningningan nito ay tulad ng isang pinakamamahaling hiyas, tulad ng isang batong kristal na malinaw na jaspe.
It was shining with his glory. The city was shining like a very precious jasper stone [shines, and] it was clear like crystal.
12 Mayroon itong isang kadakilaan, mataas na pader na may labingdalawang tarangkahan, na may labingdalawang anghel sa mga tarangkahan. Nakasulat sa mga tarangkahan ang mga pangalan ng labingdalawang lipi ng mga anak ng Israel.
[Around the city] was a very high wall. The wall had twelve gates. An angel was at each gate. The names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written {[God] had written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel} over the gates. [Each gate had the name of one tribe].
13 Sa silangan ay may tatlong tarangkahan, sa hilaga ay may tatlong tarangkahan, sa timog ay may tatlong tarangkahan, sa kanluran ay may tatlong tarangkahan.
Three gates were on the east [side], three gates were on the north [side], three gates were on the south [side], and three gates were on the west [side].
14 Ang pader ng lungsod ay may labingdalawang pundasyon, at doon ay may labingdalawang pangalan ng labindalawang apostol ng Kordero.
The wall of the city had twelve foundation [stones]. On each foundation [stone was] the name of one of the twelve apostles of [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb.
15 Ang siyang nagsalita sa akin ay may tungkod na panukat na gawa sa ginto para sukatin ang lungsod, ang mga tarangkahan at pader nito.
The angel who was speaking to me carried a golden measuring rod, in order to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
16 Ang pagkakatayo ng lungsod ay parisukat; magkatulad ang haba at ang lawak nito. Sinukat niya ang lungsod gamit ang tungkod na panukat, ang haba nito ay 12, 000 na mga estadio (ang haba, ang lawak, at ang taas ay magkakapareho).
The city was square [in shape]; it was as long as it was wide. After the angel measured the city with his rod, [he reported that it was] (1,500 miles/2,400 kilometers) long, and that its height was the same as [its length and width].
17 Sinukat din niya ang pader nito, 144 na kubit ang kapal sa panukat ng tao (na ganoon din sa panukat ng anghel).
He measured its wall [and reported that it was] ([216 ft./70 meters]) [thick] (OR, [high]). The angel used the measure that people [normally use].
18 Ang pader ay itinayo sa jaspe, at ang lungsod sa purong ginto, tulad ng malinaw na salamin.
The [city] wall was made of [something like the green stone that we call] jasper. The city [itself] was [made of something like] pure gold [that looked] like clear glass.
19 Ang pundasyon ng pader ay pinaganda ng iba't ibang uri ng mamahaling bato. Ang una ay jaspe, ang ikalawa ay safiro, ang ikatlo ay agate, ang ikaapat ay esmeralda,
The foundations of the wall of the city were beautifully made with [wonderful stones that are like] precious stones [on earth]. The first foundation [stone was a crystalline stone like] jasper, the second [foundation stone was a blue stone like] sapphire, the third [foundation stone was a green stone like] agate, the fourth [foundation stone was a green stone like] emerald,
20 ang ikalima ay oniks, ang ikaanim ay kornalina, ang ikapito ay krisolito, ang ikawalo ay berilo, ang ikasiyam topaz, ang ikasampu ay krisopraso, ang ikalabing-isa ay jacinto, at ang ikalabingdalawa ay amatista.
the fifth [foundation stone was a brown and white layered stone like] sardonyx, the sixth [foundation stone was a red stone like] carnelian, the seventh [foundation stone was a yellow stone like] chrysolite, the eighth [foundation stone was a green stone like] beryl, the ninth [foundation stone was a yellow stone like] topaz, the tenth [foundation stone was a green stone like] chrysoprase, the eleventh [foundation stone was a blue stone like] hyacinth, and the twelfth [foundation stone was a purple stone like] amethyst.
21 Ang labing dalawang tarangkahan ay labing dalawang perlas, ang bawat tarangkahan ay mula sa iisang perlas. Ang mga lansangan ng lungsod ay purong ginto, gaya ng malinaw na salamin.
The twelve gates [of the city] were [something like huge] pearls. Each gate was like [it was] a single pearl. The [ground of] the main plaza of the city (OR, The streets of the city) [appeared to be] pure gold [that looked] like clear glass.
22 Wala akong nakitang templo sa lungsod, dahil ang Panginoong Diyos, na siyang namumuno sa lahat, at ang Kordero ang kanilang templo.
There was no temple in the city. The Lord God Almighty [himself], and the [one who is like a] lamb, are [there, so there was no need for] [MET] a temple.
23 Hindi na kailangan ng lungsod ang araw o ang buwan para liwanagan ito dahil ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos ang nagliliwanag dito, at ang kaniyang ilawan ay ang Kordero.
The city will not need the sun or the moon to light the city, because the glory of God will illuminate the city, and [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, will also be its light.
24 Ang mga bansa ay maglalakad sa pamamagitan ng ilaw ng lungsod na iyon. Dadalahin ng mga hari ng mundo ang karangyaan nila dito.
The people of [MTY] the nations will live with the light of the city [shining upon them]. And the kings of the earth will bring their wealth into the city [to honor God and the one who is like a lamb].
25 Hindi isasara ang tarangkahan nito sa araw, at hindi na magkakaroon ng gabi dito.
The gates of the city will not be shut {No one will shut the gates of the city} [at the end of each day as they usually are shut], because there will be no night there.
26 Dadalhin nila ang karangyaan at ang karangalan ng mga bansa dito,
The [people of the] world will also bring their wealth into the city to honor [God and the one who is like a lamb].
27 at walang marurumi ang maaaring makapasok dito. Maging ang sinumang gumagawa ng anumang kahihiyan o panlilinlang ang makakapasok, pero ang mga nakasulat lamang ang pangalan sa aklat ng buhay ng Kordero.
No one who is morally impure, no one who does things [that God considers] detestable, and no one who tells lies, will ever enter that city. Only those people whose names are written in the book of the [one who is like a] lamb {whose [names] the [one who is like a] lamb has written in his book}, [the names] of people who have [eternal] life, will be there.
