1 Então, me mostrou o rio da água da vida, brilhante como cristal, que sai do trono de Deus e do Cordeiro. 2 No meio da sua praça, de uma e outra margem do rio, está a árvore da vida, que produz doze frutos, dando o seu fruto de mês em mês, e as folhas da árvore são para a cura dos povos. 3 Nunca mais haverá qualquer maldição. Nela, estará o trono de Deus e do Cordeiro. Os seus servos o servirão, 4 contemplarão a sua face, e na sua fronte está o nome dele. 5 Então, já não haverá noite, nem precisam eles de luz de candeia, nem da luz do sol, porque o Senhor Deus brilhará sobre eles, e reinarão pelos séculos dos séculos.

6 Disse-me ainda: Estas palavras são fiéis e verdadeiras. O Senhor, o Deus dos espíritos dos profetas, enviou seu anjo para mostrar aos seus servos as coisas que em breve devem acontecer. 7 Eis que venho sem demora. Bem-aventurado aquele que guarda as palavras da profecia deste livro.

8 Eu, João, sou quem ouviu e viu estas coisas. E, quando as ouvi e vi, prostrei-me ante os pés do anjo que me mostrou essas coisas, para adorá-lo. 9 Então, ele me disse: Vê, não faças isso; eu sou conservo teu, dos teus irmãos, os profetas, e dos que guardam as palavras deste livro. Adora a Deus.

10 Disse-me ainda: Não seles as palavras da profecia deste livro, porque o tempo está próximo. 11 Continue o injusto fazendo injustiça, continue o imundo ainda sendo imundo; o justo continue na prática da justiça, e o santo continue a santificar-se.

12 E eis que venho sem demora, e comigo está o galardão que tenho para retribuir a cada um segundo as suas obras. 13 Eu sou o Alfa e o Ômega, o Primeiro e o Último, o Princípio e o Fim. 14 Bem-aventurados aqueles que lavam as suas vestiduras [no sangue do Cordeiro], para que lhes assista o direito à árvore da vida, e entrem na cidade pelas portas. 15 Fora ficam os cães, os feiticeiros, os impuros, os assassinos, os idólatras e todo aquele que ama e pratica a mentira.

16 Eu, Jesus, enviei o meu anjo para vos testificar estas coisas às igrejas. Eu sou a Raiz e a Geração de Davi, a brilhante Estrela da manhã.

17 O Espírito e a noiva dizem: Vem! Aquele que ouve, diga: Vem! Aquele que tem sede venha, e quem quiser receba de graça a água da vida.

18 Eu, a todo aquele que ouve as palavras da profecia deste livro, testifico: Se alguém lhes fizer qualquer acréscimo, Deus lhe acrescentará os flagelos escritos neste livro; 19 e, se alguém tirar qualquer coisa das palavras do livro desta profecia, Deus tirará a sua parte da árvore da vida, da cidade santa e das coisas que se acham escritas neste livro.

20 Aquele que dá testemunho destas coisas diz: Certamente, venho sem demora. Amém! Vem, Senhor Jesus!

21 A graça do Senhor Jesus seja com todos.

1 And he showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, 2 in the midst of the street thereof. And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve manner of fruits, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no curse any more: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein: and his servants shall serve him; 4 and they shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads. 5 And there shall be night no more; and they need no light of lamp, neither light of sun; for the Lord God shall give them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

6 And he said unto me, These words are faithful and true: and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which must shortly come to pass. 7 And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.

8 And I John am he that heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel that showed me these things. 9 And he saith unto me, See thou do it not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren the prophets, and with them that keep the words of this book: worship God.

10 And he saith unto me, Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand. 11 He that is unrighteous, let him do unrighteousness still: and he that is filthy, let him be made filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him do righteousness still: and he that is holy, let him be made holy still. 12 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to each man according as his work is. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. 14 Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have the right to come to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. 15 Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.

16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And he that heareth, let him say, Come. And he that is athirst, let him come: he that will, let him take the water of life freely.

18 I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book: 19 and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.

20 He who testifieth these things saith, Yea: I come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with the saints. Amen.

1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.

4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

6 The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place."

7 "Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll."

8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me.

9 But he said to me, "Don't do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!"

10 Then he told me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near.

11 Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy."

12 "Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.

13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you "this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."

17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let the one who hears say, "Come!" Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.

19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

20 He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen.
