Revelation 21
Worldwide English (New Testament)
21 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had gone away. There was no sea any more.
2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. It was all ready and waiting, like a woman dressed for her wedding and ready to meet her husband.
3 I heard a loud voice in heaven. It said, `Look! God's house is now set up among the people. God will live with them. They will be his people and God himself will be with them.
4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. No one will die. No one will ever cry or be sad for any reason. No one will ever have trouble. The old things are gone.'
5 The One who sat on the throne said, `Look, I make all things new.' And he said, `Write this, because these words can be trusted. they are true.'
6 He said to me, `It is finished! I am the First and the Last! I am the Beginning and the End. I will give the river of water that gives life to those who are thirsty. It will cost no money.
7 The one who wins will have these things. I will be his God and he will be my son.
8 Some people will be thrown into the big fire which burns with sulphur dust that chokes people. These are the people: those who give in to fear, those who do not believe, those who are bad, those who kill, those with wrong ways of using sex, the witch-doctors, those who worship idols, and all those who love lies. That fire is the second death.'
9 Then one of the seven angels who carried the seven bowls full of the last troubles came and talked to me. He said, `Come, I will show you the young woman who is the wife of the Lamb.'
10 The angel took me away in the Spirit to a very big hill. He showed me Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of heaven from God.
11 The light of God was shining from it. It was bright like a very fine stone called jasper. It was as clear as glass.
12 The city had a wall that was big and high. It had twelve doors. At the doors were twelve angels. Names were written on the doors. They are the names of the twelve tribes of the people of Israel.
13 There were three doors on the east side. There were three doors on the north side. There were three doors on the south side and three doors on the west side.
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones. On them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 The angel who talked to me had a gold stick to measure the city, its doors, and its walls.
16 The city is square. It is as long as it is wide. The angel measured the city with his stick and it was about fifteen hundred miles. It is as long as it is wide and as high as it is long.
17 Then he measured its wall. It was two hundred and sixteen feet by the way a man measures. That is the way the angel measured.
18 The wall of the city was made of a very fine stone called jasper. The city was all made of pure gold. It was clear like glass.
19 The bottom of the city wall was covered with all kinds of fine stones. The first stone was red jasper. The second stone was blue sapphire. The third stone was of many colours called agate. The fourth stone was green emerald.
20 The fifth stone was onyx. The sixth stone was red carnelian. The seventh stone was green crysolite. The eighth stone was green beryl. The ninth stone was yellow topaz. The tenth stone was green chrysoprase. The eleventh stone was red jacinth. And the twelfth stone was a blue amethyst.
21 The twelve doors were twelve pearls. Each door was made from one big pearl. The street of the city was all pure gold. It was as clear as glass.
22 I did not see any temple in the city. The Lord God, who has all power, and the Lamb, are its temple.
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to give light in it. The glory of God gives light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24 Those who are saved will walk in its light. The kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.
25 The doors of the city will never be shut in the day time, and there will be no night.
26 The glory and the honour of all nations will be brought into the city.
27 Nothing that is not holy will ever go in. People who do wrong things and tell lies will never go in. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life will go in.

O novo céu e a nova terra
21 E vi um novo céu e uma nova terra. Porque já o primeiro céu e a primeira terra passaram, e o mar já não existe. 2 E eu, João, vi a Santa Cidade, a nova Jerusalém, que de Deus descia do céu, adereçada como uma esposa ataviada para o seu marido. 3 E ouvi uma grande voz do céu, que dizia: Eis aqui o tabernáculo de Deus com os homens, pois com eles habitará, e eles serão o seu povo, e o mesmo Deus estará com eles e será o seu Deus. 4 E Deus limpará de seus olhos toda lágrima, e não haverá mais morte, nem pranto, nem clamor, nem dor, porque já as primeiras coisas são passadas.
5 E o que estava assentado sobre o trono disse: Eis que faço novas todas as coisas. E disse-me: Escreve, porque estas palavras são verdadeiras e fiéis. 6 E disse-me mais: Está cumprido; Eu sou o Alfa e o Ômega, o Princípio e o Fim. A quem quer que tiver sede, de graça lhe darei da fonte da água da vida. 7 Quem vencer herdará todas as coisas, e eu serei seu Deus, e ele será meu filho. 8 Mas, quanto aos tímidos, e aos incrédulos, e aos abomináveis, e aos homicidas, e aos fornicadores, e aos feiticeiros, e aos idólatras e a todos os mentirosos, a sua parte será no lago que arde com fogo e enxofre, o que é a segunda morte.
A nova Jerusalém
9 E veio um dos sete anjos que tinham as sete taças cheias das últimas sete pragas e falou comigo, dizendo: Vem, mostrar-te-ei a esposa, a mulher do Cordeiro. 10 E levou-me em espírito a um grande e alto monte e mostrou-me a grande cidade, a santa Jerusalém, que de Deus descia do céu. 11 E tinha a glória de Deus. A sua luz era semelhante a uma pedra preciosíssima, como a pedra de jaspe, como o cristal resplandecente. 12 E tinha um grande e alto muro com doze portas, e, nas portas, doze anjos, e nomes escritos sobre elas, que são os nomes das doze tribos de Israel. 13 Da banda do levante, tinha três portas; da banda do norte, três portas; da banda do sul, três portas; da banda do poente, três portas. 14 E o muro da cidade tinha doze fundamentos e, neles, os nomes dos doze apóstolos do Cordeiro.
15 E aquele que falava comigo tinha uma cana de ouro para medir a cidade, e as suas portas, e o seu muro. 16 E a cidade estava situada em quadrado; e o seu comprimento era tanto como a sua largura. E mediu a cidade com a cana até doze mil estádios; e o seu comprimento, largura e altura eram iguais. 17 E mediu o seu muro, de cento e quarenta e quatro côvados, conforme a medida de homem, que é a de um anjo. 18 E a fábrica do seu muro era de jaspe, e a cidade, de ouro puro, semelhante a vidro puro. 19 E os fundamentos do muro da cidade estavam adornados de toda pedra preciosa. O primeiro fundamento era jaspe; o segundo, safira; o terceiro, calcedônia; o quarto, esmeralda; 20 o quinto, sardônica; o sexto, sárdio; o sétimo, crisólito; o oitavo, berilo; o nono, topázio; o décimo, crisópraso; o undécimo, jacinto; o duodécimo, ametista. 21 E as doze portas eram doze pérolas: cada uma das portas era uma pérola; e a praça da cidade, de ouro puro, como vidro transparente. 22 E nela não vi templo, porque o seu templo é o Senhor, Deus Todo-Poderoso, e o Cordeiro. 23 E a cidade não necessita de sol nem de lua, para que nela resplandeçam, porque a glória de Deus a tem alumiado, e o Cordeiro é a sua lâmpada. 24 E as nações andarão à sua luz, e os reis da terra trarão para ela a sua glória e honra. 25 E as suas portas não se fecharão de dia, porque ali não haverá noite. 26 E a ela trarão a glória e honra das nações. 27 E não entrará nela coisa alguma que contamine e cometa abominação e mentira, mas só os que estão inscritos no livro da vida do Cordeiro.
