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 did pass away, and the sea is not any more;2 and I, John, saw the holy city -- new Jerusalem -- coming down from God out of the heaven, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband;3 and I heard a great voice out of the heaven, saying, `Lo, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and He will tabernacle with them, and they shall be His peoples, and God Himself shall be with them -- their God,4 and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and the death shall not be any more, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor shall there be any more pain, because the first things did go away.`5 And He who is sitting upon the throne said, `Lo, new I make all things; and He saith to me, `Write, because these words are true and stedfast;`6 and He said to me, `It hath been done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End; I, to him who is thirsting, will give of the fountain of the water of the life freely;7 he who is overcoming shall inherit all things, and I will be to him -- a God, and he shall be to me -- the son,8 and to fearful, and unstedfast, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their part [is] in the lake that is burning with fire and brimstone, which is a second death.`9 And there came unto me one of the seven messengers, who have the seven vials that are full of the seven last plagues, and he spake with me, saying, `Come, I will shew thee the bride of the Lamb -- the wife,`10 and he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and did shew to me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,11 having the glory of God, and her light [is] like a stone most precious, as a jasper stone clear as crystal,12 having also a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written thereon, which are [those] of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel,13 at the east three gates, at the north three gates, at the south three gates, at the west three gates;14 and the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.15 And he who is speaking with me had a golden reed, that he may measure the city, and its gates, and its wall;16 and the city lieth square, and the length of it is as great as the breadth; and he did measure the city with the reed -- furlongs twelve thousand; the length, and the breadth, and the height, of it are equal;17 and he measured its wall, an hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of the messenger;18 and the building of its wall was jasper, and the city [is] pure gold -- like to pure glass;19 and the foundations of the wall of the city with every precious stone have been adorned; the first foundation 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, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.21 And the twelve gates [are] twelve pearls, each several one of the gates was of one pearl; and the broad-place of the city [is] pure gold -- as transparent glass.22 And a sanctuary I did not see in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, is its sanctuary, and the Lamb,23 and the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp of it [is] the Lamb;24 and the nations of the saved in its light shall walk, and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it,25 and its gates shall not at all be shut by day, for night shall not be there;26 and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it;27 and there may not at all enter into it any thing defiling and doing abomination, and a lie, but -- those written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb.
