The New Jerusalem
21 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared. Now there was no sea. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem,[a] coming down out of heaven from God. It was prepared like a bride dressed for her husband.
3 I heard a loud voice from the throne. It said, “Now God’s home is with people. He will live with them. They will be his people. God himself will be with them and will be their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain. All the old ways are gone.”
5 The one who was sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this, because these words are true and can be trusted.”
6 The one on the throne said to me, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega,[b] the Beginning and the End. I will give free water from the spring of the water of life to anyone who is thirsty. 7 All those who win the victory will receive all this. And I will be their God, and they will be my children. 8 But those who are cowards, those who refuse to believe, those who do terrible things, those who kill, those who sin sexually, those who do evil magic, those who worship idols, and those who tell lies—they will all have a place in the lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
9 One of the seven angels came to me. This was one of the angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues. The angel said, “Come with me. I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 The angel carried me away by the Spirit to a very large and high mountain. The angel showed me the holy city, Jerusalem. The city was coming down out of heaven from God.
11 The city was shining with the glory of God. It was shining bright like a very expensive jewel, like a jasper. It was clear as crystal. 12 The city had a large, high wall with twelve gates. There were twelve angels at the gates. On each gate was written the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. 14 The walls of the city were built on twelve foundation stones. On the stones were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod made of gold. The angel had this rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 The city was built in a square. Its length was equal to its width. The angel measured the city with the rod. The city was 12,000 stadia[c] long, 12,000 stadia wide, and 12,000 stadia high. 17 The angel also measured the wall. It was 144 cubits[d] high. (The angel was using the same measurement that people use.) 18 The wall was made of jasper. The city was made of pure gold, as pure as glass.
19 The foundation stones of the city walls had every kind of expensive jewels in them. The first foundation stone was jasper, the second was sapphire, the third was chalcedony, the fourth was emerald, 20 the fifth was onyx, the sixth was carnelian, the seventh was yellow quartz, the eighth was beryl, the ninth was topaz, the tenth was chrysoprase, the eleventh was jacinth, and the twelfth was amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each gate was made from one pearl. The street of the city was made of pure gold, as clear as glass.
22 I did not see a temple in the city. The Lord God All-Powerful and the Lamb were the city’s temple. 23 The city did not need the sun or the moon to shine on it. The glory of God gave the city light. The Lamb was the city’s lamp.
24 The peoples of the world will walk by the light given by the Lamb. The rulers of the earth will bring their glory into the city. 25 The city’s gates will never close on any day, because there is no night there. 26 The greatness and the honor of the nations will be brought into the city. 27 Nothing unclean will ever enter the city. No one who does shameful things or tells lies will ever enter the city. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life will enter the city.

Apocalipsis 21
Ang Biblia, 2001
Ang Bagong Langit at ang Bagong Lupa
21 At(A) nakita ko ang isang bagong langit at ang isang bagong lupa; sapagkat ang unang langit at ang unang lupa ay lumipas na, at ang dagat ay wala na.
2 At(B) nakita ko ang banal na lunsod, ang bagong Jerusalem, na bumababa mula sa langit buhat sa Diyos, na nakahanda na gaya ng isang babaing ikakasal na nagagayakan para sa kanyang asawa.
3 At(C) narinig ko ang isang malakas na tinig na mula sa trono na nagsasabi,
“Masdan ninyo, ang tabernakulo ng Diyos ay nasa mga tao.
Siya'y maninirahang kasama nila,
at sila'y magiging bayan niya.
Ang Diyos mismo ay makakasama nila, at siya'y magiging Diyos nila.[a]
4 At(D) papahirin niya ang bawat luha sa kanilang mga mata,
at hindi na magkakaroon ng kamatayan;
hindi na rin magkakaroon pa ng pagdadalamhati, o ng pagtangis man, o ng kirot man,
sapagkat ang mga unang bagay ay lumipas na.”
5 At sinabi ng nakaupo sa trono, “Masdan ninyo, ginagawa kong bago ang lahat ng mga bagay.” Sinabi rin niya, “Isulat mo, sapagkat ang mga salitang ito ay tapat at tunay.”
6 At(E) sinabi niya sa akin, “Naganap na! Ako ang Alpha at ang Omega, ang pasimula at ang wakas. Ang nauuhaw ay aking paiinumin nang walang bayad sa bukal ng tubig ng buhay.
7 Ang(F) magtagumpay ay magmamana ng mga bagay na ito; at ako'y magiging Diyos niya at siya'y magiging anak ko.
8 Ngunit sa mga duwag, sa mga hindi nananampalataya, mga karumaldumal, mga mamamatay-tao, mga mapakiapid, mga mangkukulam, mga sumasamba sa mga diyus-diyosan, at sa lahat na mga sinungaling, ang kanilang bahagi ay sa lawa na nagliliyab sa apoy at asupre, na siyang ikalawang kamatayan.”
Ang Bagong Jerusalem
9 At dumating ang isa sa pitong anghel na may pitong mangkok na punô ng pitong huling salot, at nagsalita sa akin na nagsasabi, “Halika, ipapakita ko sa iyo ang babaing ikakasal, ang asawa ng Kordero.”
10 At(G) dinala niya akong nasa Espiritu sa isang malaki at mataas na bundok, at ipinakita sa akin ang banal na lunsod ng Jerusalem, na bumababa mula sa langit buhat sa Diyos,
11 na may kaluwalhatian ng Diyos, ang kanyang ningning ay katulad ng isang totoong mahalagang bato, na gaya ng batong jaspe, na malinaw na gaya ng kristal.
12 Ito(H) ay mayroong isang malaki at mataas na pader, na may labindalawang pintuan, at 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 tatlong pintuan, sa hilaga ay tatlong pintuan, sa timog ay tatlong pintuan, at sa kanluran ay tatlong pintuan.
14 At ang pader ng lunsod ay may labindalawang saligan, at sa mga ito'y ang labindalawang pangalan ng labindalawang apostol ng Kordero.
15 At(I) ang nakipag-usap sa akin ay may gintong panukat upang sukatin ang lunsod at ang mga pintuan at ang pader nito.
16 At ang pagkatayo ng lunsod ay parisukat, at ang kanyang haba ay gaya ng kanyang luwang, at sinukat niya ang lunsod ng kanyang panukat, labindalawang libong estadia.[b] Ang haba, luwang at ang taas nito ay magkakasukat.
17 Sinukat din niya ang pader nito, isandaan at apatnapu't apat na siko[c] ang taas, ayon sa sukat ng tao, na siyang ginagamit ng anghel.
18 Ang(J) malaking bahagi ng pader ay jaspe at ang lunsod ay dalisay na ginto, na tulad ng kristal.
19 Ang mga saligan ng pader ng lunsod ay ginagayakan ng sari-saring mahahalagang bato. Ang unang saligan ay jaspe, ang ikalawa ay safiro, ang ikatlo ay calcedonia, ang ikaapat ay esmeralda,
20 ang ikalima ay onix, ang ikaanim ay sardio, ang ikapito ay crisolito, ang ikawalo ay berilo, ang ikasiyam ay topacio, ang ikasampu ay crisopasio, ang ikalabing-isa ay jacinto, ang ikalabindalawa ay ametista.
21 At ang labindalawang pintuan ay labindalawang perlas, at bawat pinto ay yari sa isang perlas, at ang lansangan ng lunsod ay dalisay na ginto, na gaya ng naaaninag na salamin.
22 At hindi ako nakakita ng templo roon, sapagkat ang Panginoong Diyos na Makapangyarihan sa lahat at ang Kordero ang siyang templo roon.
23 At(K) ang lunsod ay hindi nangangailangan ng araw, o ng buwan man, upang magbigay-liwanag sa kanya, sapagkat ang liwanag niya ay ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos, at ang ilaw doon ay ang Kordero.
24 Ang(L) mga bansa ay lalakad sa pamamagitan ng liwanag nito; at ang mga hari sa lupa ay magdadala ng kanilang karangalan sa kanya.
25 At(M) ang mga pintuan niyon ay hindi isasara kailanman sa araw; sapagkat hindi magkakaroon doon ng gabi.
26 Dadalhin nila sa loob niyon ang karangalan at kapurihan ng mga bansa;
27 at(N) hindi makakapasok doon ang anumang bagay na marumi, o ang sinumang gumagawa ng karumaldumal o ng kasinungalingan, kundi sila lamang na nakasulat sa aklat ng buhay ng Kordero.

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)
