Pahayag 21

Ang Bagong Langit at ang Bagong Daigdig

1 Pagkatapost nito, nakita ko ang isang bagong langit at isang bagong daigdig. Wala na ang dating langit at daigdig, wala na rin ang dagat. 2 Att nakita ko ang Banal na Lunsod, ang bagong Jerusalem na bumababa mula sa langit buhat sa Diyos, gaya ng isang babaing ikakasal. Maganda ang bihis at handa na siya sa pagsalubong sa lalaking kanyang mapapangasawa. 3 Narinigt ko ang isang malakas na tinig mula sa trono, “Tingnan ninyo, ang tahanan ng Diyos ay nasa piling na ng mga tao! Maninirahan siyang kasama nila, at sila'y magiging bayan niya. Makakapiling nilang palagi ang Diyos at siya ang magiging Diyos nila.

4 Att papahirin niya ang bawat luha sa kanilang mga mata. Wala nang kamatayan, dalamhati, pagtangis, at paghihirap sapagkat lumipas na ang dating mga bagay.”
5 Pagkatapos ay sinabi ng nakaupo sa trono, “Pagmasdan ninyo, binabago ko na ang lahat ng bagay!” At sinabi niya sa akin, “Isulat mo, maaasahan at totoo ang mga salitang ito.” 6 Sinabit pa rin niya sa akin, “Naganap na! Ako ang Alpha at ang Omega, ang simula at ang wakas. Ang sinumang nauuhaw ay bibigyan ng tubig na walang bayad na mula sa bukal na nagbibigay-buhay; 7 itot ang makakamtan ng magtatagumpay. At ako'y magiging Diyos niya at siya nama'y magiging anak ko.

8 Subalit malagim ang kasasapitan ng mga duwag, ng mga taksil, ng mga nagpapasasa sa kasuklam-suklam na kahalayan, ng mga mamamatay-tao, ng mga nakikiapid, ng mga mangkukulam, ng mga sumasamba sa diyus-diyosan, at lahat ng mga sinungaling. Ang magiging bahagi nila'y sa lawa ng nagliliyab na asupre. Ito ang pangalawang kamatayan.”

Ang Bagong Jerusalem

14 Ang pader ng lunsod ay may labindalawang pundasyon at nakasulat dito ang pangalan ng labindalawang apostol ng Kordero.
15 Angt anghel na nagsalita sa akin ay may hawak na gintong panukat upang sukatin ang lunsod, gayundin ang mga pinto at ang pader nito. 16 Parisukat ang ayos ng lunsod, kung ano ang haba, ganoon din ang luwang. Sinukat ng anghel ang lunsod, at ang lumabas na sukat ng lunsod ay 2,400 kilometro ang haba at ang luwang, gayundin ang taas. 17 Sinukat din niya ang pader at animnapu't limang metro naman ang taas nito, ayon sa panukat na dala ng anghel. 18 Batongt t jasper ang pader, at ang lunsod ay lantay na gintong kumikinang na parang kristal. 19 Ang saligan ng pader ay puno ng lahat ng uri ng mahahalagang bato. Jasper ang una, safiro ang ikalawa, kalsedonia ang ikatlo, esmeralda ang ikaapat, 20 onise ang ikalima, kornalina ang ikaanim, krisolito ang ikapito, berilo ang ikawalo, topaz ang ikasiyam, krisopraso ang ikasampu, hasinto ang ikalabing isa, at amatista ang ikalabindalawa.

21 Perlas ang labindalawang pinto, bawat pinto ay yari sa iisang perlas. Purong ginto ang lansangan ng lunsod at kumikinang na parang kristal.
22 Napansin ko na walang templo sa lunsod sapagkat ang nagsisilbing templo roon ay ang Panginoong Diyos na Makapangyarihan sa lahat at ang Kordero. 23 Hindit na kailangan ang araw o ang buwan upang bigyang liwanag ang lunsod, sapagkat ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos ang nagbibigay ng liwanag doon; ang Kordero naman ang siyang ilawan. 24 Sat liwanag nito'y lalakad ang lahat ng tao, at dadalhin doon ng mga hari sa lupa ang kanilang kayamanan. 25 Mananatilingt bukás sa buong maghapon ang mga pinto ng lunsod sapagkat hindi na sasapit doon ang gabi. 26 Dadalhin sa lunsod ang yaman at dangal ng mga bansa, 27 ngunitt hindi makakapasok doon ang anumang bagay na marumi sa paningin ng Diyos. Ito'y ang mga gumagawa ng masama at ang mga sinungaling. Ang mga tao lamang na ang pangalan ay nakasulat sa aklat ng buhay na iniingatan ng Kordero ang siyang makakapasok sa lunsod.

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.t

The New Jerusalem

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.
