Pahayag 21
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Ang Bagong Langit at ang Bagong Lupa
21 Pagkatapos, (A) nakakita ako ng bagong langit at ng bagong lupa; sapagkat lumipas na ang unang langit at ang unang lupa, at wala na ang dagat. 2 Nakita (B) ko ring bumababa mula sa langit, galing sa Diyos, ang banal na lungsod, ang bagong Jerusalem, inihandang tulad ng isang babaing ikakasal na inayusan para sa kanyang asawa. 3 At (C) mula sa trono, isang malakas na tinig ang aking narinig,
“Masdan ninyo, ang tahanan ng Diyos ay kasama na ng mga tao.
Maninirahan siya sa kanila bilang Diyos nila;
sila'y magiging bayan niya,
at ang Diyos mismo ay makakasama nila at magiging Diyos nila;[a]
4 papahirin (D) niya ang bawat luha sa kanilang mga mata.
Hindi na magkakaroon ng kamatayan;
ni magkakaroon ng pagluluksa at pagtangis, at kahit kirot ay di na rin mararanasan,
sapagkat lumipas na ang mga unang bagay.”
5 At nagsalita ang nakaupo sa trono, “Ngayon, ginagawa kong bago ang lahat ng bagay.” Sinabi rin niya, “Isulat mo, sapagkat ang mga salitang ito ay tapat at totoo.” 6 Pagkatapos (E) ay sinabi niya sa akin, “Nangyari na! Ako ang Alpha at ang Omega, ang simula at ang wakas. Sa nauuhaw ay ibibigay ko nang walang bayad ang tubig mula sa bukal ng tubig ng buhay. 7 Ang (F) nagtatagumpay ay magmamana ng mga ito, at ako ang magiging Diyos niya, at siya'y magiging anak ko. 8 Ngunit para sa mga duwag, sa mga hindi sumasampalataya, sa mga karumal-dumal, mga mamamatay-tao, mga mapakiapid, mga mangkukulam, mga sumasamba sa diyus-diyosan, at sa mga sinungaling, ang kalalagyan nila ay sa lawa na nagliliyab sa apoy at asupre; ito ang ikalawang kamatayan.”
Ang Bagong Jerusalem
9 Pagkatapos, ang isa sa pitong anghel na may pitong mangkok na puno ng pitong huling salot ay dumating at nagsabi sa akin, “Halika, ipakikita ko sa iyo ang babaing ikakasal, ang asawa ng Kordero.” 10 Habang (G) nasa Espiritu, dinala niya ako sa isang malaki at mataas na bundok, at ipinakita niya sa akin ang banal na lungsod ng Jerusalem na bumababa mula sa langit, galing sa Diyos. 11 Taglay nito ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos at ang ningning nito ay tulad sa isang mamahaling bato, gaya ng haspe, na kasinlinaw ng kristal. 12 Mayroon (H) itong malaki at mataas na pader na may labindalawang pintuan. Sa mga pintuan ay may labindalawang anghel, at sa mga pintuan ay nakasulat ang mga pangalan ng labindalawang lipi ng mga anak ni Israel. 13 Sa silangan ay may tatlong pintuan, sa hilaga ay may tatlong pintuan, sa timog ay may tatlong pintuan, at tatlo rin sa kanluran. 14 Ang mga pader ng lungsod ay may labindalawang saligan, at sa kanila ay nakasulat ang labindalawang pangalan ng labindalawang apostol ng Kordero.
15 Ang (I) anghel na nakipag-usap sa akin ay may panukat na ginto, upang sukatin ang lungsod at ang mga pintuan at pader nito. 16 Parisukat ang pagkagawa sa lungsod; ang haba nito ay katulad ng luwang nito. Sinukat ng anghel ang lungsod gamit ang kanyang panukat, labindalawang estadia;[b] ang haba, luwang at taas nito ay magkakapareho. 17 Sinukat din niya ang pader nito, isandaan apatnapu't apat na siko ang taas, ayon sa sukat ng tao, na siyang ginamit ng anghel. 18 Ang (J) (K) malaking bahagi ng pader ay haspe at dalisay na ginto naman ang lungsod, na kasinlinaw ng kristal. 19 Ang mga saligan ng pader ng lungsod ay napapalamutian ng iba't ibang mamahaling bato. Haspe ang una, safiro ang ikalawa, kalsedonya ang ikatlo, esmeralda ang ikaapat, 20 onise ang ikalima, kornalina ang ikaanim, krisolito ang ikapito, berilo ang ikawalo, topasyo ang ikasiyam, krisoprasio ang ikasampu, hasinto ang ikalabing-isa, amatista naman ang ikalabindalawa. 21 Ang labindalawang pintuan ay labindalawang perlas, ang bawat pintuan ay yari sa isang perlas. Ang lansangan ng lungsod, ay dalisay na ginto, kasinlinaw ng salamin.
22 At wala akong nakitang templo sa lungsod, sapagkat ang templo nito'y ang Panginoong Diyos na Makapangyarihan sa lahat at ang Kordero. 23 Hindi (L) na kailangan pa ng lungsod ang araw o buwan upang tumanglaw doon, sapagkat ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos ang liwanag nito, at ang Kordero ang ilaw nito. 24 Sa pamamagitan ng liwanag nito ay lalakad ang mga bansa, at ang mga hari sa daigdig ay magdadala ng kanilang kaluwalhatian sa lungsod. 25 Ang (M) mga pintuan nito ay hindi isasara kailanman, sapagkat wala nang gabi doon. 26 Sa loob nito ay dadalhin ang kaluwalhatian at karangalan ng mga bansa. 27 Subalit (N) hindi makapapasok doon ang anumang maruming bagay, ang sinumang may gawaing karumal-dumal o sinungaling, kundi yaon lamang may mga pangalang nakasulat sa aklat ng buhay ng Kordero.

Revelation 21
New Living Translation
The New Jerusalem
21 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
3 I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.[a] 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”
5 And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.” 6 And he also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life. 7 All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.
8 “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
9 Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10 So he took me in the Spirit[b] to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. 11 It shone with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious stone—like jasper as clear as crystal. 12 The city wall was broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates. 13 There were three gates on each side—east, north, south, and west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, its length and width and height were each 1,400 miles.[c] 17 Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick[d] (according to the human standard used by the angel).
18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass. 19 The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve precious stones:[e] the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
21 The twelve gates were made of pearls—each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass.
22 I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. 24 The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their glory. 25 Its gates will never be closed at the end of day because there is no night there. 26 And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city. 27 Nothing evil[f] will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
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.
