התגלות 21
Habrit Hakhadasha/Haderekh
כא לאחר מכן ראיתי שמים חדשים וארץ חדשה ללא ימים, כי השמים והארץ שקיימים היום נעלמו. 2 ראיתי גם את עיר הקודש, ירושלים החדשה, יורדת מן השמים מאת אלוהים. היא נראתה הדורה ככלה בחתונתה.
3 שמעתי קול רם מכיסא המלכות: "מעונו של אלוהים הוא בין בני-האדם; אלוהים יחיה איתם והם יהיו לו לעם. 4 הוא ימחה מעיניהם כל דמעה, ולא יהיה יותר מוות, אבל, קריאות צער או כאב. כל אלה ייעלמו לנצח!"
5 היושב על כיסא המלכות הכריז: "אני עושה הכול חדש!" הוא פנה אלי ואמר: "כתוב את אשר אומר לך, כי דברים אלה נכונים ואמיתיים: 6 תם ונשלם! אני האלף והתו – ההתחלה והסוף. את הצמא אשקה ממעיין מי-החיים חינם! 7 המנצח יירש את כל הברכות האלה; אני אהיה לו לאלוהים והוא יהיה לי לבן. 8 אך מוגי-הלב שמפנים לי את גבם, חסרי האמונה, הפושעים, המושחתים, הרוצחים, הנואפים, עובדי האלילים וכל השקרנים, יושלכו לאגם הבוער באש וגופרית אשר הוא המוות השני."
9 אחד משבעת המלאכים, שנשאו את שבע הקערות המלאות בשבע המגפות, ניגש אלי ואמר: "בוא איתי ואראה לך את הכלה – את אשת השה."
10 הוא נשא אותי ברוח אל הר גדול וגבוה, והראה לי את ירושלים עיר-הקודש יורדת מן השמים מאת אלוהים. 11 העיר הייתה מלאה כבוד אלוהים; היא זרחה והקרינה נוגה כשל אבן יקרה שמבהיקה כבדולח. 12 לעיר הייתה חומה גדולה וגבוהה ובה שנים-עשר שערים, ובכל שער עמד מלאך. על השערים היו כתובים שמות שנים-עשר שבטי ישראל. 13 שלושה שערים היו בצד מזרח, שלושה בצד צפון, שלושה בצד דרום ושלושה בצד מערב. 14 לחומת העיר היו שנים-עשר יסודות ועליהם כתובים שמות שנים-עשר שליחי השה.
15 המלאך אשר דיבר אלי החזיק בידו מכשיר-מדידה עשוי זהב, כדי למדוד את העיר, את שעריה ואת חומתה. 16 במדדו את העיר הוא נוכח לדעת שצורתה ריבועית – אורכה שווה לרוחבה. למעשה, צורת העיר כקובייה; כל הצלעות שוות – אורך, רוחב וגובה, כל צלע כ-2400 קילומטרים[a]. 17 המלאך מדד את עובי החומה ונוכח לדעת שעובייה כ-65 מטרים[b].
18 העיר עצמה הייתה עשויה זהב טהור ושקוף כזכוכית זכה ועדינה. החומה הייתה עשויה אבן-ישפה יקרה, 19 ובנויה של שתים-עשרה שכבות של אבני-יסוד משובצות באבני-חן יקרות.
אבן היסוד הראשונה משובצת בישפה
אבן היסוד השנייה משובצת בספיר
אבן היסוד השלישית משובצת בשבו
אבן היסוד הרביעית משובצת בברקת
20 אבן היסוד החמישית משובצת ביהלום
אבן היסוד השישית משובצת באודם
אבן היסוד השביעית משובצת בתרשיש
אבן היסוד השמינית משובצת בשוהם
אבן היסוד התשיעית משובצת בפטדה
אבן היסוד העשירית משובצת בנופך
אבן היסוד האחת-עשרה משובצת בלשם
אבן היסוד השתים-עשרה משובצת באחלמה.
21 שנים-עשר השערים היו שתים-עשרה פנינים – כל שער פנינה. רחובה המרכזי של העיר מרוצף זהב טהור ושקוף כזכוכית.
22 לא הבחנתי בהיכל בעיר, כי היכל העיר הוא ה' אלוהי צבאות והשה. 23 העיר הנפלאה הזאת אינה זקוקה לאור השמש או לאור הירח, שכן כבוד אלוהים וכבוד השה מאירים אותה באור רב. 24 עמי העולם יחיו לאורה, ומלכי העולם יביאו אליה את כבודם ותפארתם. 25 שערי העיר לא ייסגרו לעולם; הם יהיו פתוחים כל היום, כי לא יהיה לילה בעיר. 26 כבודם ותפארתם של כל העמים יובאו אליה. 27 עיר זאת תהיה קדושה וטהורה; לא יהיה בתוכה כל דבר טמא, לא יהיו בה חוטאים, שקרנים, נואפים ופושעים. רק הכתובים בספר-החיים של השה ייכנסו לעיר.

21 ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ سَمَاءً جَدِيدَةً وَأَرْضاً جَدِيدَةً لَا بَحْرَ فِيهَا، لأَنَّ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ الْقَدِيمَتَيْنِ قَدْ زَالَتَا. 2 وَأَنَا رَأَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ، أُورُشَلِيمَ الْجَدِيدَةَ، نَازِلَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ، مُجَهَّزَةً كَأَنَّهَا عَرُوسٌ مُزَيَّنَةٌ لِعَرِيسِهَا. 3 وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً هَاتِفاً مِنَ الْعَرْشِ: «الآنَ صَارَ مَسْكَنُ اللهِ مَعَ النَّاسِ، هُوَ يَسْكُنُ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَهُمْ يَصِيرُونَ شَعْباً لَهُ. اللهُ نَفْسُهُ يَكُونُ مَعَهُمْ إِلهاً لَهُمْ! 4 وَسَيَمْسَحُ كُلَّ دَمْعَةٍ مِنْ عُيُونِهِمْ. إِذْ يَزُولُ الْمَوْتُ وَالْحُزْنُ وَالصُّرَاخُ وَالأَلَمُ، لأَنَّ الأُمُورَ الْقَدِيمَةَ كُلَّهَا قَدْ زَالَتْ!» 5 وَقَالَ الْجَالِسُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ: «سَأَصْنَعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ جَدِيداً». ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «اكْتُبْ هَذَا، فَإِنَّ مَا أَقُولُهُ هُوَ الصِّدْقُ وَالْحَقُّ». 6 ثُمَّ قَالَ: «قَدْ تَمَّ. أَنَا الأَلِفُ وَالْيَاءُ (الْبِدَايَةُ وَالنِّهَايَةُ). أَنَا أَسْقِي الْعَطْشَانَ مِنْ يَنْبُوعِ مَاءِ الْحَيَاةِ مَجَّاناً. 7 هَذَا كُلُّهُ نَصِيبُ الْمُنْتَصِرِ، وَأَكُونُ إِلَهاً لَهُ، وَهُوَ يَكُونُ ابْناً لِي. 8 أَمَّا الْجُبَنَاءُ وَغَيْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَالْفَاسِدُونَ وَالْقَاتِلُونَ وَالزُّنَاةُ، وَالْمُتَّصِلُونَ بِالشَّيَاطِينِ وَعَبَدَةُ الأَصْنَامِ وَجَمِيعُ الدَّجَّالِينَ، فَمَصِيرُهُمْ إِلَى الْبُحَيْرَةِ الْمُتَّقِدَةِ بِالنَّارِ وَالْكِبْرِيتِ، الَّذِي هُوَ الْمَوْتُ الثَّانِي».

9 وَجَاءَ أَحَدُ الْمَلائِكَةِ السَّبْعَةِ الَّذِينَ أَفْرَغُوا كُؤُوسَ بَلايَاهُمُ السَّبْعِ الأَخِيرَةِ، وَقَالَ لِي: «تَعَالَ فَأُرِيَكَ عَرُوسَ الْحَمَلِ». 10 وَأَخَذَنِي بِالرُّوحِ إِلَى قِمَّةِ جَبَلٍ ضَخْمٍ عَالٍ، وَأَرَانِي الْمَدِينَةَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ نَازِلَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ 11 وَلَهَا مَجْدُ اللهِ، وَهِيَ تَتَلأْلأُ كَالأَحْجَارِ الْكَرِيمَةِ، وَكَأَنَّهَا مِنْ حَجَرِ الْيَشْبِ الْبِلَّوْرِيِّ! 12 لَهَا سُورٌ ضَخْمٌ عَالٍ وَاثْنَا عَشَرَ بَاباً يَحْرُسُهَا اثْنَا عَشَرَ مَلاكاً، وَقَدْ كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْهَا أَسْمَاءُ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ؛ 13 إِلَى الشَّرْقِ ثَلاثَةُ أَبْوَابٍ؛ وَإِلَى الشِّمَالِ ثَلاثَةُ أَبْوَابٍ، وَإِلَى الْجَنُوبِ ثَلاثَةُ أَبْوَابٍ؛ وَإِلَى الْغَرْبِ ثَلاثَةُ أَبْوَابٍ. 14 وَيَقُومُ سُورُ الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ دِعَامَةً كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْهَا أَسْمَاءُ رُسُلِ الْحَمَلِ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ. 15 وَكَانَ الْمَلاكُ الَّذِي يُكَلِّمُنِي يُمْسِكُ قَصَبَةً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ لِيَقِيسَ بِها الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَبْوَابَهَا وَسُورَهَا. 16 وَكَانَتْ أَرْضُ الْمَدِينَةِ مُرَبَّعَةً، طُولُهَا يُسَاوِي عَرْضَهَا، فَلَمَّا قَاسَهَا بِالْقَصَبَةِ تَبَيَّنَ أَنَّ ضِلْعَهَا يُسَاوِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفِ غَلْوَة (أَلْفَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعْمِئَةِ كِيلُومِتْرٍ)، وَهِيَ مُتَسَاوِيَةُ الطُّولِ وَالْعَرْضِ وَالارْتِفَاعِ. 17 ثُمَّ قَاسَ السُّورَ، فَتَبَيَّنَ أَنَّهُ يُسَاوِي مِئَةً وَأَرْبَعاً وَأَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعاً، وَكَانَ الْمَلاكُ يَسْتَعْمِلُ قِيَاساً يُعَادِلُ ذِرَاعَ إِنْسَانٍ. 18 كَانَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ مَبْنِيَّةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ شَفَّافٍ كَالزُّجَاجِ النَّقِيِّ. أَمَّا سُورُهَا فَمِنَ الْيَشْبِ، 19 وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ دِعَامَةً مُرَصَّعَةً بِالأَحْجَارِ الْكَرِيمَةِ: كَانَتِ الدِّعَامَةُ الأُولَى مِنَ الْيَشْبِ؛ وَالثَّانِيَةُ مِنَ الْيَاقُوتِ الأَزْرَقِ؛ وَالثَّالِثَةُ مِنَ الْعَقِيقِ الأَبْيَضِ؛ وَالرَّابِعَةُ مِنَ الزُّمُرُّدِ الذُّبَابِيِّ؛ 20 وَالْخَامِسَةُ مِنَ الْجَزْعِ الْعَقِيقِيِّ؛ وَالسَّادِسَةُ مِنَ الْعَقِيقِ الأَحْمَرِ؛ وَالسَّابِعَةُ مِنَ الزَّبَرْجَدِ؛ وَالثَّامِنَةُ مِنَ الزُّمُرُّدِ السِّلْقِيِّ؛ وَالتَّاسِعَةُ مِنَ الْيَاقُوتِ الأَصْفَرِ، وَالْعَاشِرَةُ مِنَ الْعَقِيقِ الأَخْضَرِ؛ وَالْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنَ الأَسْمَانْجُونِيِّ؛ وَالثَّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنَ الْجَمَشْتِ. 21 أَمَّا الأَبْوَابُ الاثْنَا عَشَرَ فَهِيَ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ لُؤْلُؤَةً: كُلُّ بَابٍ لُؤْلُؤَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ. وَسَاحَةُ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ كَالزُّجَاجِ الشَّفَّافِ. 22 وَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ هَيْكَلاً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الإِلهَ الْقَادِرَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَالْحَمَلَ هُمَا هَيْكَلُهَا. 23 وَلَمْ تَكُنِ الْمَدِينَةُ فِي حَاجَةٍ إِلَى نُورِ الشَّمْسِ أَوِ الْقَمَرِ، لأَنَّ مَجْدَ اللهِ يُنِيرُهَا، وَالْحَمَلَ مِصْبَاحُهَا. 24 سَتَسِيرُ بِنُورِهَا الأُمَمُ، وَيَأْتِيهَا مُلُوكُ الأَرْضِ بِكُنُوزِهِمْ. 25 وَلا تُقْفَلُ أَبْوَابُهَا أَبَداً طُولَ النَّهَارِ، لأَنَّ اللَّيْلَ لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا! 26 وَسَتُحْمَلُ إِلَيْهَا كُنُوزُ الأُمَمِ وَأَمْجَادُهَا. 27 وَلَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا شَيْءٌ نَجِسٌ، وَلا الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الْقَبَائِحَ وَيُدَجِّلُونَ، بَلْ فَقَطِ الَّذِينَ كُتِبَتْ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ فِي سِجِلِّ الْحَيَاةِ لِلْحَمَلِ!
Revelation 21
New International Version
A New Heaven and a New Earth
21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a](A) for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,(B) and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City,(C) the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,(D) prepared as a bride(E) beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them.(F) They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.(G) 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes.(H) There will be no more death’[b](I) or mourning or crying or pain,(J) for the old order of things has passed away.”(K)
5 He who was seated on the throne(L) said, “I am making everything new!”(M) Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”(N)
6 He said to me: “It is done.(O) I am the Alpha and the Omega,(P) the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost(Q) from the spring of the water of life.(R) 7 Those who are victorious(S) will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.(T) 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars(U)—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur.(V) This is the second death.”(W)
The New Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues(X) came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride,(Y) the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away(Z) in the Spirit(AA) to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.(AB) 11 It shone with the glory of God,(AC) and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper,(AD) clear as crystal.(AE) 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates,(AF) and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.(AG) 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations,(AH) and on them were the names of the twelve apostles(AI) of the Lamb.
15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod(AJ) of gold to measure the city, its gates(AK) and its walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia[c] in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17 The angel measured the wall using human(AL) measurement, and it was 144 cubits[d] thick.[e] 18 The wall was made of jasper,(AM) and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.(AN) 19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone.(AO) The first foundation was jasper,(AP) the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby,(AQ) the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.[f] 21 The twelve gates(AR) were twelve pearls,(AS) each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.(AT)
22 I did not see a temple(AU) in the city, because the Lord God Almighty(AV) and the Lamb(AW) are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God(AX) gives it light,(AY) and the Lamb(AZ) is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.(BA) 25 On no day will its gates(BB) ever be shut,(BC) for there will be no night there.(BD) 26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.(BE) 27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful,(BF) but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.(BG)

Revelation 21
King James Version
21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and 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 all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 And had a wall great and high, and had 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 three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate 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 Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
