Holman Christian Standard Bible

The New Creation

21 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth,(A) for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea no longer existed.(B) 2 I also saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,(C) prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.(D)

3 Then I heard a loud voice from the throne:[a]

Look! God’s dwelling[b] is with humanity,
and He will live with them.
They will be His people,(E)
and God Himself will be with them
and be their God.[c]
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.(F)
Death will no longer exist;(G)
grief, crying, and pain will exist no longer,(H)
because the previous things[d] have passed away.(I)

5 Then the One seated on the throne said, “Look! I am making everything new.” He also said, “Write, because these words[e] are faithful and true.”(J) 6 And He said to me, “It is done!(K) I am the Alpha and the Omega,(L) the Beginning and the End.(M) I will give water as a gift to the thirsty(N) from the spring of life.(O) 7 The victor(P) will inherit these things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.(Q) 8 But the cowards, unbelievers,[f] vile, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars—their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur,(R) which is the second death.”

The New Jerusalem

9 Then one of the seven angels, who had held the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues,(S) came and spoke with me: “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 He then carried me away in the Spirit[g](T) to a great and high mountain(U) and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, 11 arrayed with God’s glory.(V) Her radiance was like a very precious stone, like a jasper stone, bright as crystal. 12 The city had a massive high wall, with 12 gates. Twelve angels were at the gates; the names of the 12 tribes of Israel’s sons were inscribed on the gates. 13 There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.(W) 14 The city wall had 12 foundations, and the 12 names of the Lamb’s 12 apostles were on the foundations.

15 The one who spoke with me had a gold measuring rod(X) to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.(Y) 16 The city is laid out in a square; its length and width are the same. He measured the city with the rod at 12,000 stadia.[h] Its length, width, and height are equal. 17 Then he measured its wall, 144 cubits according to human measurement, which the angel used. 18 The building material of its wall was jasper, and the city was pure gold like clear glass.

19 The foundations of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone:(Z)

the first foundation jasper,
the second sapphire,
the third chalcedony,
the fourth emerald,
20 the fifth sardonyx,
the sixth carnelian,
the seventh chrysolite,
the eighth beryl,
the ninth topaz,
the tenth chrysoprase,
the eleventh jacinth,
the twelfth amethyst.

21 The 12 gates are 12 pearls; each individual gate was made of a single pearl. The broad street[i] of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

22 I did not see a sanctuary in it, because the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its sanctuary. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because God’s glory illuminates it, and its lamp is the Lamb.(AA) 24 The nations[j] will walk in its light,(AB) and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.[k](AC) 25 Each day its gates will never close because it will never be night there. 26 They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.[l](AD) 27 Nothing profane will ever enter it:(AE) no one who does what is vile or false, but only those written in the Lamb’s book of life.(AF)

Pahayag 21
Ang Salita ng Diyos

Ang Bagong Jerusalem

21 At nakita ko ang isang bagong langit at ang bagong lupa, sapagkat ang unang langit at ang unang lupa ay lumipas na. Ang dagat ay wala na.

2 At akong si Juan, nakita ko ang banal na lungsod, ang bagong Jerusalem na buma­babang mula sa Diyos na buhat sa langit. Ito ay inihanda na katulad ng isang babaeng ikakasal na ginayakan para sa kaniyang magiging asawa. 3 Narinig ko ang isang malakas na tinig na mula sa langit. Sinabi nito: Narito, ang tabernakulo ng Diyos ay nasa mga tao. Siya ay mananahang kasama nila. Sila ay magiging mga tao niya. Ang kanilang Diyos mismo ang sumakanila at siya ang kanilang magiging Diyos. 4 Pupunasin ng Diyos ang bawat luha sa kanilang mga mata. Mawawala na ang kamatayan, ang pagtangis, ang pag-iyak o ang kabalisahan. Ang mga bagay sa nakaraan ay lumipas na.

5 Ang nakaupo sa trono ay nagsabi: Tingnan ninyo, ginawa kong bago ang lahat ng bagay. At sinabi niya sa akin: Isulat mo ito sapagkat ang mga salitang ito ay totoo at tapat.

6 At sinabi niya sa akin: Ang lahat ay naganap na. Ako ang Alpha at Omega, ang simula at ang wakas. Ibibigay ko ang tubig ng buhay na walang bayad sa sinumang nauuhaw. 7 Ang magtatagumpay ay magmamana ng lahat ng bagay. Ako ay kaniyang magiging Diyos at siya ay magiging anak ko. 8 Ngunit ang mga natatakot at ang mga hindi sumasam­palataya, ang mga kinamumuhian ng Diyos, mga mamamatay-tao, mga mapakiapid, mga manggagaway, mga sumasamba sa diyos-diyosan at lahat ng mga sinungaling, ang bahagi nila ay sa lawa na nagniningas sa apoy at asupre. Ito ang ikalawang kamatayan.

9 Ang isa sa pitong anghel ay nagpakita sa akin. Sila ang mga anghel na may pitong mangkok na puno ng pitong huling mga salot at nagsalita sa akin: Halika rito. Ipapakita ko sa iyo ang babaeng ikakasal na asawa ng Kordero. 10 Dinala niya ako sa Espiritu patungo sa isang dakila at mataas na bundok. Ipinakita niya sa akin ang isang dakilang lungsod, ang banal na Jerusalem. Ito ay bumababang buhat sa langit mula sa Diyos. 11 Taglay nito ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos. Ang ningning nito ay katulad sa isang napaka­halagang bato, katulad ng isang kristal na batong haspe. 12 Ito ay may isang dakila at mataas na moog at labindalawang tarangkahan. Sa tarangkahan ay may labindalawang mga anghel. May nakaukit na pangalan sa tarangkahan. Ito ay ang mga pangalan ng labindalawang lipi ng mga anak na lalaki ni Israel. 13 Tatlong tarangkahan ang nasa gawing silangan. Tatlong tarangkahan ang nasa gawing hilaga. Tatlong tarangkahan ang nasa gawing timog. Tatlong tarang­kahan ang nasa gawing kanluran. 14 Ang pader ng lungsod ay may labindalawang saligan. Sa kanila ay ang labindalawang pangalan ng mga apostol ng Kordero.

15 Ang nagsalita sa akin ay may isang gintong panukat. Taglay niya ito upang sukatin niya ang lungsod, ang tarangkahan nito at ang pader nito. 16 Ang lungsod ay pari­sukat. Ang haba nito ay katulad din ng luwang nito. Sinukat niya ang lungsod ng panukat. Ang haba, ang luwang at ang taas nito ay magkakasukat na dalawanglibo at dalawangdaang kilometro. 17 Sinukat niya ang moog at ito ay isangdaan at apatnapu’t apat na siko. Ito ang sukat ng haba ng siko ng isang tao, na siya ring sukat ng anghel. 18 Ang pader ay yari sa haspeng bato. Ang lungsod ay yari sa dalisay na ginto, katulad ng malinaw na salamin. 19 Ang mga saligan ng lungsod ay nagayakan ng lahat ng uri ng mga mahalagang bato. Ang una ay haspeng bato. Ang pangalawa ay sapirang bato. Ang pangatlo ay kalsedonyang bato. Ang pang-apat ay esmeraldang bato. 20 Ang panglima ay batong onise. Ang pang-anim ay batong kornalina. Ang pangpito ay batong krisolito. Ang pangwalo ay batong berilo. Ang pangsiyam ay batong topasyo. Ang pangsampu ay batong krisopraso. Ang panglabing-isa ay batong hasinto. Ang panglabindalawa ay batong amatista. 21 Ang labindalawang tarangkahan ay labindalawang perlas. Ang bawat tarang­kahan ay isang perlas. Ang lansangan ng lungsod ay dalisay na ginto katulad ng salaming malinaw.

22 At wala akong nakitang anumang banal na dako dito. Ang dahilan ay ang Panginoong Diyos na Makapangyarihan sa lahat at ang Kordero ay ang mga banal na dako nito. 23 Ang lungsod ay hindi nangailangan ng araw o buwan upang magliwanag dito sapagkat ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos ang nagbigay-liwanag dito. Ang Kordero ay ang ilawan nito. 24 Ang mga bansa ng mga iniligtas ng Diyos ay maglalakad sa liwanag nito. Ang mga hari sa lupa ay magbibigay ng kanilang kaluwalhatian at karangalan dito. 25 Kailanman ay hindi isasara ang tarangkahan nito sa araw sapagkat wala ng gabi roon. 26 Dadalhin nila ang kaluwalhatian at karangalan ng mga bansa dito. 27 Kailanman ay hindi makakapasok doon ang anumang marumi o ang ang sinumang gumagawa ng kinapopootan ng Diyos o ang gumagawa ng kasinunga­lingan. Ang makakapasok lamang doon ay yaong ang mga pangalan ay nakasulat sa aklat ng buhay ng Kordero.

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)
