啟示錄 21
新天新地
1 我又看見一個新天新地，因為先前的天和先前的地已經過去了，海也不再有了。 2 我又看見聖城，新耶路撒冷由上帝那裏，從天而降，預備好了，就如新娘打扮整齊，等候丈夫。 3 我聽見有大聲音從寶座出來，說： 「看哪，上帝的帳幕在人間！ 他要和他們同住， 他們要作他的子民。 上帝要親自與他們同在。t
4 上帝要擦去他們一切的眼淚； 不再有死亡， 也不再有悲哀、哭號、痛苦， 因為先前的事都過去了。」
5 那位坐在寶座上的說：「看哪，我把一切都更新了！」他又說：「你要寫下來，因為這些話是可信靠的，是真實的。」 6 他又對我說：「成了！我是阿拉法，我是俄梅戛；我是開始，我是終結。我要把生命的泉水白白賜給那口渴的人喝。 7 得勝的要承受這些為業；我要作他的上帝，他要作我的兒子。 8 至於膽怯的、不信的、可憎的、殺人的、淫亂的、行邪術的、拜偶像的和一切說謊話的人，他們將在燒著硫磺的火湖裏有份；這是第二次的死。」
新耶路撒冷
9 拿著七個金碗、盛滿末後七種災禍的七位天使中，有一位來對我說：「你來，我要給你看新娘，就是羔羊的妻子。」 10 我在聖靈感動下，天使帶我到一座高大的山，給我看由上帝那裏、從天而降的聖城耶路撒冷， 11 這城有上帝的榮耀，它光輝如同極貴的寶石，好像碧玉，明如水晶。 12 它有高大的牆，有十二個門，門上有十二位天使，門上又寫著以色列人十二個支派的名字t。 13 東邊有三個門，北邊有三個門，南邊有三個門，西邊有三個門。 14 城牆有十二個根基，根基上有羔羊十二使徒的名字。
15 那對我說話的天使拿著金的蘆葦當尺，要量那城、城門和城牆。 16 城是四方的，長寬一樣。天使用蘆葦量那城，共有一萬二千斯他迪，長、寬、高都是一樣。 17 他又量了城牆，按著人的尺寸，就是天使的尺寸，共有一百四十四肘。 18 牆是碧玉造的；城是純金的，如同明淨的玻璃。 19 城牆的根基是用各樣寶石修飾的：第一個根基是碧玉，第二是藍寶石，第三是綠瑪瑙，第四是綠寶石， 20 第五是紅瑪瑙，第六是紅寶石，第七是黃璧璽，第八是水蒼玉，第九是紅璧璽，第十是翡翠，第十一是紫瑪瑙，第十二是紫晶。 21 十二個門是十二顆珍珠；每一個門是一顆珍珠造的。城內的街道是純金的，好像透明的玻璃。
22 我沒有看見城內有殿，因主—全能者上帝和羔羊就是城的殿。 23 那城內不用日月光照，因為有上帝的榮耀光照，又有羔羊為城的燈。 24 列國要藉著城的光行走；地上的君王要把自己的榮耀帶給那城。 25 城門白晝總不關閉，在那裏沒有黑夜。 26 人要將列國的榮耀尊貴帶給那城。 27 凡不潔淨的，和那行可憎與虛謊之事的人，都不得進那城，只有名字寫在羔羊生命冊上的才得進去。
REVELATION 21
The New Heaven and //the New Earth
1 t I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and so had the sea.
2 t Then I saw New Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down from God in heaven. It was like a bride dressed in her wedding gown and ready to meet her husband.
3 t I heard a loud voice shout from the throne:
God's home is now with his people. He will live with them, and they will be his own. Yes, God will make his home among his people.
4 t He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain. These things of the past are gone forever.
5 Then the one sitting on the throne said:
I am making everything new. Write down what I have said. My words are true and can be trusted. 6 t Everything is finished! I am Alpha and Omega, t the beginning and the end. I will freely give water from the life-giving fountain to everyone who is thirsty.
7 t All who win the victory will be given these blessings. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
8 But I will tell you what will happen to cowards and to everyone who is unfaithful or dirty-minded or who murders or is sexually immoral or uses witchcraft or worships idols or tells lies. They will be thrown into that lake of fire and burning sulfur. This is the second death.tThe New Jerusalem
9 I saw one of the seven angels who had the bowls filled with the seven last terrible troubles. The angel came to me and said, “Come on! I will show you the one who will be the bride and wife of the Lamb.”
10 t Then with the help of the Spirit, he took me to the top of a very high mountain. There he showed me the holy city of Jerusalem coming down from God in heaven.
11 The glory of God made the city bright. It was dazzling and crystal clear like a precious jasper stone. 12 t The city had a high and thick wall with twelve gates, and each one of them was guarded by an angel. On each of the gates was written the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 Three of these gates were on the east, three were on the north, three more were on the south, and the other three were on the west.
14 The city was built on twelve foundation stones. On each of the stones was written the name of one of the Lamb's twelve apostles.
15 t The angel who spoke to me had a gold measuring stick to measure the city and its gates and its walls. 16 The city was shaped like a cube, because it was just as high as it was wide. When the angel measured the city, it was about 2,400 kilometers high and 2,400 kilometers wide.
17 Then the angel measured the wall, and by our measurements it was about 60 meters high.
18 t t The wall was built of jasper, and the city was made of pure gold, clear as crystal. 19 Each of the twelve foundations was a precious stone. The first was jasper, t the second was sapphire, the third was agate, the fourth was emerald, 20 the fifth was onyx, the sixth was carnelian, the seventh was chrysolite, the eighth was beryl, the ninth was topaz, the tenth was chrysoprase, the eleventh was jacinth, and the twelfth was amethyst.
21 Each of the twelve gates was a solid pearl. The streets of the city were made of pure gold, clear as crystal.
22 I did not see a temple there. The Lord God All-Powerful and the Lamb were its temple.
23 t And the city did not need the sun or the moon. The glory of God was shining on it, and the Lamb was its light.
24 t Nations will walk by the light of that city, and kings will bring their riches there. 25 t Its gates are always open during the day, and night never comes. 26 The glorious treasures of nations will be brought into the city. 27 t But nothing unworthy will be allowed to enter. No one who is dirty-minded or who tells lies will be there. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of lifet will be in the city.
