Revelation 21
|
| And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were gone; and there was no more sea. | And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more. |
| And I saw the holy town, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, like a bride made beautiful for her husband. | And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven of God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. |
| And there came to my ears a great voice out of the high seat, saying, See, the Tent of God is with men, and he will make his living-place with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be their God. | And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God: |
| And he will put an end to all their weeping; and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain; for the first things have come to an end. | and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed away. |
| And he who is seated on the high seat said, See, I make all things new. And he said, Put it in the book; for these words are certain and true. | And he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith, Write: for these words are faithful and true. |
| And he said to me, It is done. I am the First and the Last, the start and the end. I will freely give of the fountain of the water of life to him who is in need. | And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. |
| He who overcomes will have these things for his heritage; and I will be his God, and he will be my son. | He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. |
| But those who are full of fear and without faith, the unclean and takers of life, those who do the sins of the flesh, and those who make use of evil powers or who give worship to images, and all those who are false, will have their part in the sea of ever-burning fire which is the second death. | But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [shall be] in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. |
| And one of the seven angels who had the seven vessels in which were the seven last punishments, came and said to me, Come here, and see the bride, the Lamb's wife. | And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb. |
| And he took me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and let me see the holy town Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, | And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, |
| Having the glory of God: and her light was like a stone of great price, a jasper stone, clear as glass: | having the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal: |
| She had a wall great and high, with twelve doors, and at the doors twelve angels; and names on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. | having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, which are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: |
| And on the east were three doors; and on the north three doors; and on the south three doors; and on the west three doors. | on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. |
| And the wall of the town had twelve bases, and on them the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb. | And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. |
| And he who was talking with me had a gold measuring-rod to take the measure of the town, and of its doors, and its wall. | And he that spake with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. |
| And the town is square, as wide as it is long; and he took the measure of the town with the rod, one thousand and five hundred miles: it is equally long and wide and high. | And the city lieth foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: the length and the breadth and the height thereof are equal. |
| And he took the measure of its wall, one hundred and forty-four cubits, after the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. | And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. |
| And the building of its wall was of jasper, and the town was clear gold, clear as glass. | And the building of the wall thereof was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto pure glass. |
| The bases of the wall of the town had ornaments of all sorts of beautiful stones. The first base was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; | The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; |
| The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. | the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. |
| And the twelve doors were twelve pearls; every door was made of one pearl; and the street of the town was clear gold, as clear as glass. | And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the several gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. |
| And I saw no Temple there; because the Lord God, the Ruler of all, and the Lamb are its Temple. | And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof. |
| And the town has no need of the sun, or of the moon, to give it light: for the glory of God did make it light, and the light of it is the Lamb. | And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine upon it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp thereof [is] the Lamb. |
| And the nations will go in its light: and the kings of the earth will take their glory into it. | And the nations shall walk amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it. |
| And the doors of it will never be shut by day (for there is no night there): | And the gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there): |
| And the glory and honour of the nations will come into it: | and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it: |
| And nothing unclean may come into it, or anyone whose works are cursed or false; but only those whose names are in the Lamb's book of life. | and there shall in no wise enter into it anything unclean, or he that maketh an abomination and a lie: but only they that are written in the Lamb's book of life. |
