1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea exists no more.
2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God {is} with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their God.
4 And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any more, for the former things have passed away.
5 And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says {to me}, Write, for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be to him God, and he shall be to me son.
8 But to the fearful and unbelieving, {and sinners}, and those who make themselves abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part {is} in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
9 And there came one of the seven angels which had had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 And he carried me away in {the} Spirit, {and set me} on a great and high mountain, and shewed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,
11 having the glory of God. Her shining {was} like a most precious stone, as a crystal-like jasper stone;
12 having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are those of the twelve tribes of {the} sons of Israel.
13 On {the} east 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 spoke with me had a golden reed {as} a measure, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
16 And the city lies four-square, and its length {is} as much as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed-twelve thousand stadia: the length and the breadth and height of it are equal.
17 And he measured its wall, a hundred {and} forty-four cubits, {a} man's measure, that is, {the} angel's.
18 And the building of its wall {was} jasper; and the city pure gold, like pure glass:
19 the foundations of the wall of the city {were} adorned with every precious stone: 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, twelve pearls; each one of the gates, respectively, was of one pearl; and the street of the city pure gold, as transparent glass.
22 And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
23 And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine for it; for the glory of God has enlightened it, and the lamp thereof {is} the Lamb.
24 And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it.
25 And its gates shall not be shut at all by day, for night shall not be there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations to it.
27 And nothing common, nor that maketh an abomination and a lie, shall at all enter into it; but those only who {are} written in the book of life of the Lamb.
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。
