Apocalipse 21

1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. 2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. 3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God’s dwelling is with people; and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more. The first things have passed away."

5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true." 6 He said to me, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life. 7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son. 8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners,*21:8 TR and NU omit "sinners" abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers,*21:8 The word for "sorcerers" here also includes users of potions and drugs. idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls which were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife." 10 He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12 having a great and high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, 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 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.

15 He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls. 16 The city is square. Its length is as great as its width. He measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand twelve stadia.*21:16 12,012 stadia = 2,221 kilometers or 1,380 miles. TR reads 12,000 stadia instead of 12,012 stadia. Its length, width, and height are equal. 17 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits,*21:17 144 cubits is about 65.8 meters or 216 feet by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass. 19 The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire,*21:19 or, lapis lazuli 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, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there), 26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter. 27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Te Rangi Hou me te Whenua Hou

1 Ā, i kite ahau i te rangi hou, i te whenua hou. Kua pahemo hoki te rangi tuatahi, me te whenua tuatahi, ā, kāhore atu he moana. 2 I kite anō ahau i te pā tapu, i Hiruhārama hou, e heke iho ana i te rangi i te Atua, rite rawa, ānō he wahine mārena hou kua oti te whakapaipai mō tāna tāne. 3 I rongo anō ahau i te reo nui i te rangi e mea ana: "Nā, kei ngā tāngata te tapenākara o te Atua, ā, e noho ia ki a rātou; ko rātou hoki hei iwi māna, ko te Atua nei anō hei a rātou, hei Atua mō rātou. 4 Ka murua hoki e ia ngā roimata katoa i ō rātou kanohi; ā, kore ake he mate; kāhore hoki he auē, kāhore he tangi, kāhore he mamae, i ngā wā i muri nei. Kua pahemo atu hoki ngā mea ō mua."

5 Ā, ka kōrero mai tērā e noho rā i runga i te torōna: "Nā, ka hangā houtia e ahau ngā mea katoa." I mea mai anō ia ki ahau, "Tuhituhia. Nō te mea he pono, he tika ēnei kupu."

6 I mea mai anō ia ki ahau, "Kua oti ēnei mea. Ko ahau te Ārepa, te Ōmeka, te tīmatanga, te whakamutunga. Ka hoatu noa e ahau ki te tangata matewai he wai i te puna o te wai o te ora. 7 Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitōria, e whiwhi ia ki ēnei mea; ko ahau hoki hei Atua mōna, ko ia hei tama māku. 8 Nā, ko te hunga wehi, ko te hunga whakateka, ko te hunga whakarihariha, ko ngā kaikōhuru, ko te hunga moepuku, ko te hunga mākutu, ko te hunga karakia ki te whakapakoko, ko te hunga teka katoa, ko te wāhi mō rātou kei te roto e kā ana i te ahi, i te whānāriki. Ko te matenga tuarua tēnei."

Te Hiruhārama Hou

9 Nā, ka haere mai ki ahau tētahi o ngā anahera e whitu, kei a rātou nei ngā oko e whitu e kī ana i ngā whiu whakamutunga e whitu; ka kī mai ki ahau, ka mea, "Haere mai, māku e whakakite ki a koe te wahine mārena hou, te wahine a te Reme." 10 Nā, haria ana ahau e ia i roto i te wairua ki tētahi maunga nui, tiketike, ā, ka whakakitea mai ki ahau te pā tapu, a Hiruhārama, e heke iho ana i te rangi i te Atua. 11 Kei taua pā anō te korōria o te Atua. Rite tonu tōna mārama ki tō te kōhatu utu nui whakaharahara, ānō he kōhatu hahapa, mārama tonu me he karaihe; 12 he taiepa kōhatu anō tōna, he mea nui, tiketike, tekau mā rua ngā tatau, kotahi tekau mā rua anō ngā anahera i ngā tatau, tuhituhi rawa ki te ingoa, arā ki ngā ingoa o ngā hapū kotahi tekau mā rua o ngā tama a Īharaira. 13 I te rāwhiti e toru ngā tatau; i te hauraro e toru ngā tatau; i te tonga e toru ngā tatau; i te hauāuru e toru ngā tatau. 14 Ā, ko te taiepa o te pā, kotahi tekau mā rua ōna tūranga, kei aua tūranga anō ngā ingoa o ngā āpōtoro a te Reme, kotahi tekau mā rua.

15 Nā, ko tērā i kōrero rā ki ahau, he kākaho kōura tāna hei whanganga māna i te pā, i ōna tatau, i tōna taiepa kōhatu. 16 Nā, ko te takoto o te pā, e whā ngā poti, tōna roa rite tonu ki tōna whānui. Nā, ka whangangatia e ia te pā ki te kākaho, kotahi tekau mā rua mano ngā pāronga. Ko tōna roa, ko te whānui, ko te ikeike, rite tonu. 17 Nā, ka whangangatia anō e ia tōna taiepa, kotahi rau e whā tekau mā whā ngā whatīanga, he rūri nā te tangata, arā nā te anahera. 18 Nā, ko te mea i hangā ai tōna taiepa he hahapa, he kōura parakore anō hoki te pā, rite tonu ki te karaihe mārama. 19 Ko ngā tūranga o te taiepa o te pā he mea whakapaipai ki ngā kōhatu utu nui katoa. Ko te tūranga tuatahi he hahapa, ko te tuarua, he hapaira, ko te tuatoru, he karakeroni, ko te tuawhā, he emerara, 20 ko te tuarima, he hararonika, ko te tuaono, he harariu, ko te tuawhitu, he karihorita, ko te tuawaru, he perira, ko te tuaiwa, he tōpaha, ko te ngahuru, he karihoparaha, ko te tekau mā tahi, he hakiniti, ko te tekau mā rua, he ametihita. 21 Nā, ko ngā tatau kotahi tekau mā rua, kotahi tekau mā rua peara. Ko tēnei tatau, ko tēnei tatau, kotahi tonu peara. Ko te huarahi hoki o te pā he kōura parakore, ko ia ānō kei te karaihe pīata.

22 Nā, kīhai ahau i kite i tētahi whare tapu i reira. Ko te Ariki hoki, ko te Atua Kaha Rawa rāua ko te Reme te whare tapu o reira. 23 Kāhore hoki taua pā i mea ki te rā mōna, ki te marama rānei, hei whiti ki roto. E whakamāramatia ana hoki a reira e te korōria o te Atua, ko te Reme hoki tōna mārama. 24 E haere hoki ngā tauiwi i waenganui o tōna mārama, ā, e kawea mai anō hoki e ngā kīngi o te ao tō rātou korōria ki reira. 25 E kore hoki ōna tatau e tūtakina i te awatea; kore ake hoki o reira pō. 26 Ā, e kawea mai hoki te korōria me te hōnore o ngā tauiwi ki reira. 27 E kore anō e tomo ki roto tētahi mea whakanoa, te tangata rānei e mahi ana i te whakarihariha, i te teka rānei. Ko te hunga anake kua oti te tuhituhi ki tā te Reme pukapuka o te ora.
