A nova jerusalém
A Nova Jerusalém é a cidade de Deus que desce do céu, morada eterna dos redimidos. Nela não haverá mar, morte, choro nem dor — Deus habitará com seu povo para sempre.
A cidade celestial
João viu a santa cidade, a Nova Jerusalém, descendo do céu como noiva adornada para o esposo. Ali Deus morará com seu povo.
And I, John, saw the holy city Jerusalem, new, coming down from heaven, made ready of God, as a wife adorned to her husband.
And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying, Lo! the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them; and they shall be his people, and he God with them shall be their God.
And God shall wipe away each tear from the eyes of them; and death shall no more be, neither mourning, neither crying, neither sorrow, shall be over; which first things went away.
And he took me up in Spirit into a great hill and high; and he showed to me the holy city of Jerusalem, coming down from heaven of God,
having the clarity of God; and the light of it like [to] a precious stone, as the stone jasper, as crystal.
And it had a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and in the gates of it twelve angels, and names written in, that be the names of [the] twelve lineages of the sons of Israel;
from the east three gates, and from the north three gates, and from the south three gates, and from the west three gates.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundaments, and in them, the twelve names of the twelve apostles, and of the lamb.
And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God almighty and the lamb, is the temple of it.
And the city hath no need of the sun, neither moon, that they shine in it; for the clarity of God shall lighten [or shall light] it; and the lamb is the lantern of it.
And he showed to me a flood of quick water, shining as crystal, coming forth of the seat of God, and of the lamb,
in the middle of the street of it. And on each side of the flood, the tree of life, bringing forth twelve fruits, yielding his fruit by each month; and the leaves of the tree be to health of folks.
And each cursed thing shall no more be; but the seats of God and of the lamb shall be in it. And the servants of him shall serve him.
And they shall see his face, and his name [shall be] in their foreheads.
And night shall no more be, and they shall not have need to the light of a lantern, neither to light of the sun; for the Lord God shall lighten [or shall light] them, and they shall reign into worlds of worlds.
A pátria celestial
Os patriarcas aguardavam uma cidade que tem fundamentos, cujo arquiteto e construtor é Deus. Nosso lar eterno está além desta vida.
but now they desire a better, that is to say, heavenly. Therefore God is not confounded, [or ashamed], to be called the God of them; for he made ready to them a city.
But ye have come nigh to the hill [of] Zion, and to the city of God living [or of living God], the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the multitude of many thousand angels,
and to the church of the first men, which be written in heavens, and to God, doomsman of all, and to the spirit of just perfect men,
and to Jesus, mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood, speaking better than Abel [or better speaking than Abel’s blood].
But that Jerusalem that is above, is free, which is our mother.
Be not your heart afraid, [or disturbed, or distroubled], nor dread it; ye believe in God, and believe ye in me.
In the house of my Father be many dwellings; if anything less, I had said to you, for I go to make ready to you a place.
And if I go, and make ready to you a place, again I [shall] come, and I shall take you to myself, that where I am, ye be.
A glória da Nova Jerusalém
Deus habitará no meio do seu povo. Sua presença será a luz da cidade, e o rio da vida fluirá do trono de Deus e do Cordeiro.
The fierceness of [the] flood maketh glad the city of God; the highest God hath hallowed his tabernacle.
By compass eighteen miles; and the name of the city shall be from that day, The Lord is there. Amen.
Daughter of Zion, praise thou, and be glad; for lo! I come, and I shall dwell in [the] middle of thee, saith the Lord.
And many folks shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall be to me into a people, and I shall dwell in the middle of thee; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts sent me to thee.
And the Lord shall wield Judah into his part, in the land hallowed, and shall choose yet Jerusalem.
Lo! I come soon; hold thou that that thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
And him that shall overcome, I shall make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall no more go out; and I shall write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, of the new Jerusalem, that cometh down from heaven of my God, and my new name.
And if any man [shall] do away of the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away the part of him from the book of life, and from the holy city, and from these things that be written in this book.
