En ny himmel och en ny jord

21 Sedan såg jag en ny himmel och en ny jord, för den första himlen och den första jorden var borta, och havet fanns inte mer. 2 Och jag såg den heliga staden, det nya Jerusalem, komma ner från himlen, från Gud. Den var smyckad som en brud för sin brudgum.

3 Jag hörde en stark röst från tronen säga: ”Se, nu har Gud sitt tält bland människorna! Han ska bo tillsammans med dem, och de ska vara hans folk, ja, Gud själv ska vara hos dem.[a] 4 Han ska torka alla tårar från deras ögon. Döden ska inte finnas mer, och inte heller någon sorg eller gråt eller plåga, för det som en gång fanns är borta.”

5 Han som sitter på tronen sa: ”Se, jag gör allting nytt!” Sedan sa han: ”Skriv ner detta, för dessa ord är trovärdiga och sanna.” 6 Han sa vidare till mig: ”Det har skett! Jag är alfa och omega,[b] början och slutet. Jag ska låta den som är törstig få dricka ur källan med livets vatten helt gratis.[c]

7 Den som segrar ska få ärva allt detta, och jag ska vara hans Gud och han ska vara min son. 8 Men de som är fega, trolösa, avskyvärda, mördare, ägnar sig åt sexuell omoral, är ockulta, avgudadyrkare, och alla lögnare, deras plats blir i sjön som brinner av eld och svavel. Det är den andra döden.”

Det nya Jerusalem

9 Sedan kom en av de sju änglar som hade skålarna med de sju sista plågorna och sa till mig: ”Kom, så ska jag visa dig bruden, Lammets hustru.[d]”

10 Sedan förde han mig i anden till ett stort och högt berg. Därifrån visade han mig den heliga staden, Jerusalem, som kom ner från himlen, från Gud. 11 Staden strålade av Guds härlighet, och den gnistrade som en dyrbar ädelsten, som en kristallklar jaspis. 12 Den hade en stor och hög mur med tolv portar, som vaktades av tolv änglar. Och namnen på Israels tolv stammar stod skrivna på portarna. 13 Tre av portarna låg mot öster, tre mot norr, tre mot söder och tre mot väster. 14 Stadsmuren hade tolv grundstenar, och på dem stod namnen på Lammets tolv apostlar[e].

15 Han som talade till mig höll en måttstock av guld i sin hand för att mäta staden och dess portar och dess mur. 16 Staden var byggd som en kub. Den var lika bred som den var lång. Han mätte upp den med sin måttstock, och alla mått var 12 000 stadier[f]; dess längd, bredd och höjd var lika. 17 Sedan mätte han muren och fann att tjockleken var 144 alnar[g] enligt människors sätt att mäta, som också ängeln använde.

18 Muren var byggd av jaspis. Staden var av rent guld, som liknade rent glas. 19 Grundstenarna i stadsmuren var av alla slags vackra ädelstenar. Den första var en jaspis, den andra en safir, den tredje en kalcedon, den fjärde en smaragd, den femte en sardonyx, 20 den sjätte en karneol, den sjunde en krysolit, den åttonde en beryll, den nionde en topas, den tionde en krysopras, den elfte en hyacint och den tolfte en ametist. 21 De tolv portarna var gjorda av tolv pärlor, och varje port bestod av en enda pärla. Den stora gatan genom staden var av rent guld, som liknade genomskinligt glas.

22 Jag såg inget tempel i staden, för Herren Gud, den Allsmäktige, är stadens tempel, han och Lammet. 23 Staden behöver varken sol eller måne för sitt ljus, för Guds härlighet strålar över den, och Lammet är dess ljus. 24 Folken ska ledas av detta ljus, och jordens kungar ska komma till staden med sin härlighet. 25 Portarna i staden ska aldrig stängas om dagen, och någon natt finns där inte. 26 All härlighet och ära som folken äger ska föras dit. 27 Men inget orent ska tillåtas att komma dit in, ingen som handlar skamligt eller ohederligt, utan bara de som har sina namn skrivna i livets bok[h] som tillhör Lammet.

Revelasyon 21
Haitian Creole Version

21 ¶ Apre sa, mwen wè yon lòt sièl ak yon lòt latè. Premie sièl la ak premie latè a te disparèt. pa t' gen okenn lanmè ankò.

2 Apre sa, mwen wè lavil Bondye a, lòt Jerizalèm nèf lan, ki t'ap desann soti bò kot Bondye ye nan sièl la. Li te byen abiye, li te pare tankou yon lamarye ki pral kontre fiyanse li.

3 Mwen tande yon vwa ki t'ap soti bò fòtèy la, li t'ap di byen fò: Koulye a, kay Bondye a se nan mitan moun l'ap ye. L'ap rete nan mitan yo, lèzòm ap yon pèp pou li. Se Bondye menm k'ap viv avèk yo, li va Bondye pou yo.

4 Li gen pou l' cheche tout dlo nan je yo. p'ap gen lanmò ankò, yo p'ap nan lapenn ankò, yo p'ap janm plenyen ankò, yo p'ap janm soufri ankò. Tout vie bagay sa yo pral disparèt.

5 Lè sa a, moun ki te chita sou fòtèy la di: Koulye a, mwen fè tout bagay vin nèf. Apre sa li di mwen: Ou mèt ekri sa, paske pawòl mwen se pawòl ki vre, pawòl tout moun dwe kwè.

6 Apre sa li di ankò: Bon. Tout bagay fin fèt. Mwen se A ak Z, mwen se konmansman, mwen se finisman. Si yon moun swaf dlo, m'a ba li bwè dlo gratis nan sous dlo ki bay lavi a.

7 Se sa moun ki va genyen batay la va resevwa nan men m'. M'a va Bondye yo, y'a va pitit mwen.

8 Men, pou moun ki lach yo, moun ki pa kenbe pawòl yo, ansasen yo, bann moun deprave yo, moun k'ap fè maji yo, moun k'ap adore zidòl ansanm ak moun k'ap bay manti, plas yo se nan letan dife ak souf k'ap boule a yo ye. Se sa yo rele dezyèm lanmò a.

9 ¶ Yonn nan sèt zanj ki te kenbe sèt gode plen ak sèt dènye kalamite yo vin di mwen: Vini non. Mwen pral moutre ou lamarye a, fiyanse ti Mouton an.

10 Nan vizyon an, mwen wè zanj lan mennen m' sou tèt yon mòn byen wo. Li moutre m' lavil Bondye a, Jerizalèm ki desann soti bò kote Bondye ye nan sièl la.

11 Li te klere byen bèl ak limiè prezans Bondye a. Lavil la te klere tankou yon piè bijou ki koute chè anpil, tankou yon piè jasp klè kou kristal.

12 Li te gen yon gwo miray byen wo avèk douz pòtay. Te gen yon zanj nan chak pòtay pou veye yo. Sou pòtay yo, yo te ekri non douz branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.

13 Te gen twa pòtay sou chak kote: twa pòtay sou bò lès, twa pòtay sou bò nò, twa pòtay sou bò sid, twa pòtay sou bò lwès.

14 Miray la te kanpe sou douz gwo wòch. Yo te ekri non douz apòt ti Mouton an sou wòch yo.

15 Zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan te gen yon baton pou mezire nan men li, yon baton wozo fèt an lò, pou l' te pran mezi lavil la, mezi pòtay yo ak mezi miray la.

16 Lavil la te tankou yon bwat kare, longè l' te menm ak lajè li. Zanj lan mezire lavil la ak baton wozo l' la. Lavil la gen demildesan (2.200) kilomèt longè. Lajè l' ak wotè l' te menm ak longè li.

17 Zanj lan mezire miray la: miray la te gen swasanndouz (72) mèt sou wotè, dapre mezi òdenè li t'ap sèvi a.

18 Miray la te bati an jasp. Lavil la menm te an bon lò, li te klere kou kristal.

19 Gwo wòch fondasyon miray lavil la te byen òne ak tout kalite piè bijou gwo pri. Premie wòch la te an jasp, dezyèm lan an safi, twazièm lan an agat, katriyèm lan an emwòd,

20 senkièm lan an oniks, sizièm lan an sadwan, setièm lan an krizolit, witièm lan an beril, nevièm lan an topaz, dizyèm lan an krizopraz, onzièm lan an tikwaz, douzyèm lan an ametis.

21 Douz pòtay yo te douz bèl grenn pèl. Chak pòtay yo te fèt ak yon sèl grenn pèl. Tout lari nan lavil la te fèt an bon lò, klè kou kristal.

22 Mwen pa t' wè tanp nan lavil la, paske Mèt la, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, te tanp li ansanm ak ti Mouton an.

23 Lavil la pa t' bezwen ni solèy, ni lalin pou klere l' paske limiè prezans Bondye a te klere l' nèt, ti Mouton an te tankou yon lanp pou li.

24 Gremesi limiè l' la, tout nasyon ki sou latè va wè pou yo mache. Tout wa latè yo va pote richès yo ba li.

25 Pòtay yo va rete louvri tout lajounen. Men, paske la p'ap janm fè nwit, pòtay yo p'ap janm fèmen.

26 Tout richès nasyon yo ansanm ak tout bèl bagay yo genyen va anpile nan lavil la.

27 Men, anyen ki pa bon pou sèvis Bondye p'ap antre nan lavil la. Ni yo p'ap kite moun k'ap fè bagay ki bay degoutans, moun k'ap bay manti, mete pie yo nan lavil la. Moun ki va antre nan lavil la, se sèlman moun ki gen non yo ekri nan liv ki nan men ti Mouton an, liv ki gen non moun ki gen lavi a.

Revelation 21
New King James Version

All Things Made New

21 Now (A)I saw a new heaven and a new earth, (B)for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, [a]John, saw (C)the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared (D)as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, (E)the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 (F)And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; (G)there shall be no more death, (H)nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

5 Then (I)He who sat on the throne said, (J)“Behold, I make all things new.” And He said [b]to me, “Write, for (K)these words are true and faithful.”

6 And He said to me, (L)“It[c] is done! (M)I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. (N)I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes [d]shall inherit all things, and (O)I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 (P)But the cowardly, [e]unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in (Q)the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

The New Jerusalem(R)

9 Then one of (S)the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came [f]to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you (T)the [g]bride, the Lamb’s wife.” 10 And he carried me away (U)in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me (V)the [h]great city, the [i]holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 (W)having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. 12 Also she had a great and high wall with (X)twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 (Y)three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.

14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and (Z)on them were the [j]names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he who talked with me (AA)had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand [k]furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. 17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 18 The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 19 (AB)The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve (AC)pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. (AD)And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

The Glory of the New Jerusalem

22 (AE)But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 (AF)The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine [l]in it, for the [m]glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 (AG)And the nations [n]of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor [o]into it. 25 (AH)Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (AI)(there shall be no night there). 26 (AJ)And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into [p]it. 27 But (AK)there shall by no means enter it anything [q]that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s (AL)Book of Life.

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)
