1 我又看见一个新天新地, 因为先前的天地都过去了, 海也再没有了。

2 我又看见圣城, 新耶路撒冷, 从天上由 神那里降下来, 预备好了, 好像打扮整齐等候丈夫的新娘。

3 我听见有大声音从宝座那里发出来, 说: "看哪! 神的帐幕在人间, 他要与人同住, 他们要作他的子民。 神要亲自与他们同在, 要作他们的 神。

4 他要抹去他们的一切眼泪, 不再有死亡, 也不再有悲哀、哭号、痛苦, 因为先前的事都过去了。"

5 坐在宝座上的那一位说: "看哪, 我把一切都更新了! "又说: "你要写下来, 因为这些话是可信的、真实的。"

6 他又对我说: "成了! 我是阿拉法, 是俄梅格; 我是创始的, 也是成终的。我要把生命的泉水, 白白赐给口渴的人喝。

7 得胜的, 必要承受这些福分。我要作他的 神, 他要作我的儿子。

8 只是那些胆怯的、不信的、可憎的、杀人的、淫乱的、行邪术的、拜偶像的和所有说谎的人, 他们的分是在烧着硫磺的火湖里。这就是第二次的死。"

9 拿着七个盛满着末后七灾的碗的七位天使中, 有一位走来对我说: "你来! 我要把新娘, 就是羊羔的妻子, 指示你。"

10 我在灵里被那天使带到一座高大的山上, 他把从天上由 神那里降下来的圣城耶路撒冷指示我。

11 这城有 神的荣耀, 城的光辉好像极贵的宝石, 又像晶莹的碧玉。

12 有高大的城墙, 有十二个门, 门口有十二位天使, 门上写着以色列十二支派的名字。

13 东边有三个门, 南边有三个门, 西边有三个门, 北边有三个门。

14 城墙有十二座根基, 根基上有羊羔的十二使徒的名字。

15 那对我说话的天使拿着一根金的芦苇, 要量那城、城门和城墙。

16 城是四方的, 长宽都一样。天使用芦苇量那城, 共有二千四百公里("二千四百公里"原文作"一万二千司他町"), 城的长、宽、高都一样;

17 又量了城墙, 约有六十公尺("六十公尺"原文作"一百四十四肘")。天使用的标准, 就是人量度的标准。

18 城墙是用碧玉做的, 城是用明净像玻璃的纯金做的。

19 城墙的根基是用各样宝石装饰的: 第一座根基是碧玉, 第二座是蓝宝石, 第三座是玛瑙, 第四座是绿宝石,

20 第五座是红玛瑙, 第六座是红宝石, 第七座是黄璧玺, 第八座是水苍玉, 第九座是红璧玺, 第十座是翡翠, 第十一座是紫玛瑙, 第十二座是紫晶。

21 十二个门是十二颗珍珠, 每一个门是用一颗珍珠做的。城里的街道是纯金的, 好像透明的玻璃。

22 我没有看见城里有圣所, 因为主全能的 神和羊羔就是城的圣所。

23 这城不需要日月照明, 因为有 神的荣耀照明, 而羊羔就是城的灯。

24 列国要借着城的光行走, 地上的众王要把他们的荣华带到这城来。

25 城门白天决不关闭。在那里并没有黑夜。

26 列国的荣华尊贵都被带到这城。

27 所有不洁净的、行可憎的和说谎的, 决不可以进入这城。只有名字记在羊羔生命册上的才可以进去。

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.
