1 Vi novo céu e nova terra, pois o primeiro céu e a primeira terra passaram, e o mar já não existe. 2 Vi também a cidade santa, a nova Jerusalém, que descia do céu, da parte de Deus, ataviada como noiva adornada para o seu esposo. 3 Então, ouvi grande voz vinda do trono, dizendo: Eis o tabernáculo de Deus com os homens. Deus habitará com eles. Eles serão povos de Deus, e Deus mesmo estará com eles. 4 E lhes enxugará dos olhos toda lágrima, e a morte já não existirá, já não haverá luto, nem pranto, nem dor, porque as primeiras coisas passaram.

5 E aquele que está assentado no trono disse: Eis que faço novas todas as coisas. E acrescentou: Escreve, porque estas palavras são fiéis e verdadeiras. 6 Disse-me ainda: Tudo está feito. Eu sou o Alfa e o Ômega, o Princípio e o Fim. Eu, a quem tem sede, darei de graça da fonte da água da vida. 7 O vencedor herdará estas coisas, e eu lhe serei Deus, e ele me será filho. 8 Quanto, porém, aos covardes, aos incrédulos, aos abomináveis, aos assassinos, aos impuros, aos feiticeiros, aos idólatras e a todos os mentirosos, a parte que lhes cabe será no lago que arde com fogo e enxofre, a saber, a segunda morte.

9 Então, veio um dos sete anjos que têm as sete taças cheias dos últimos sete flagelos e falou comigo, dizendo: Vem, mostrar-te-ei a noiva, a esposa do Cordeiro; 10 e me transportou, em espírito, até a uma grande e elevada montanha e me mostrou a santa cidade, Jerusalém, que descia do céu, da parte de Deus, 11 a qual tem a glória de Deus. O seu fulgor era semelhante a uma pedra preciosíssima, como pedra de jaspe cristalina. 12 Tinha grande e alta muralha, doze portas, e, junto às portas, doze anjos, e, sobre elas, nomes inscritos, que são os nomes das doze tribos dos filhos de Israel. 13 Três portas se achavam a leste, três, ao norte, três, ao sul, e três, a oeste. 14 A muralha da cidade tinha doze fundamentos, e estavam sobre estes os doze nomes dos doze apóstolos do Cordeiro.

15 Aquele que falava comigo tinha por medida uma vara de ouro para medir a cidade, as suas portas e a sua muralha. 16 A cidade é quadrangular, de comprimento e largura iguais. E mediu a cidade com a vara até doze mil estádios. O seu comprimento, largura e altura são iguais. 17 Mediu também a sua muralha, cento e quarenta e quatro côvados, medida de homem, isto é, de anjo. 18 A estrutura da muralha é de jaspe; também a cidade é de ouro puro, semelhante a vidro límpido. 19 Os fundamentos da muralha da cidade estão adornados de toda espécie de pedras preciosas. O primeiro fundamento é de jaspe; o segundo, de safira; o terceiro, de calcedônia; o quarto, de esmeralda; 20 o quinto, de sardônio; o sexto, de sárdio; o sétimo, de crisólito; o oitavo, de berilo; o nono, de topázio; o décimo, de crisópraso; o undécimo, de jacinto; e o duodécimo, de ametista. 21 As doze portas são doze pérolas, e cada uma dessas portas, de uma só pérola. A praça da cidade é de ouro puro, como vidro transparente. 22 Nela, não vi santuário, porque o seu santuário é o Senhor, o Deus Todo-Poderoso, e o Cordeiro. 23 A cidade não precisa nem do sol, nem da lua, para lhe darem claridade, pois a glória de Deus a iluminou, e o Cordeiro é a sua lâmpada. 24 As nações andarão mediante a sua luz, e os reis da terra lhe trazem a sua glória. 25 As suas portas nunca jamais se fecharão de dia, porque, nela, não haverá noite. 26 E lhe trarão a glória e a honra das nações. 27 Nela, nunca jamais penetrará coisa alguma contaminada, nem o que pratica abominação e mentira, mas somente os inscritos no Livro da Vida do Cordeiro.

1 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. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 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: 4 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. 5 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. 6 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. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 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.

9 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. 10 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, 11 having the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal: 12 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: 13 on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 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. 16 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. 17 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. 18 And the building of the wall thereof was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto pure glass. 19 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; 20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. 21 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. 22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof. 23 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. 24 And the nations shall walk amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it. 25 And the gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there): 26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it: 27 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.

1 Then I saw "a new heaven and a new earth," "for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

4 'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' "or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

6 He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.

7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.

8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars —they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."

10 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.

11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.

13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west.

14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls.

16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia "in length, and as wide and high as it is long.

17 The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits "thick. [^5]

18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.

19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,

20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. [^6]

21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.

22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.

24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.

25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there.

26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.

27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
