\subsection{Revelation 21}
|
|
\VS{1} And I saw [a] new heaven and [a] new earth, for the first heaven and the first
|
|
earth departed, and the sea no longer is.
|
|
\VS{2} And I saw the new holy city Jerusalem descending out of heaven from God,
|
|
prepared as [a] bride adorned for her husband.
|
|
\VS{3} And I heard [a] great voice from the throne saying: Behold
|
|
the tent of God [is] with men, and he will tent with them, and they will be his
|
|
people, and God himself will be with them.
|
|
\VS{4} And he will wipe every tear from their eyes, and death will be no longer,
|
|
for the first [things] have departed.
|
|
\VS{5} And the [one] having sat upon the throne said: Behold I make everything new.
|
|
And he says: Write, for these words are trustworthy and true.
|
|
\VS{6} And he said to me: It is come to pass. I [am] the Alpha and the Omega\footnote{Alpha: the first letter of the Greek alphabet, Omega the last. ``I [am] the A and Z''}, the
|
|
beginning and the end. To the [one] thirsting I myself will give [a] gift from the
|
|
springs of the water of zoe-life\fnZoe{}.
|
|
\VS{7} The [one] overcoming will inherit these [things],
|
|
and I will be God to him, and he will be son to me.
|
|
\VS{8} But to the timid\footnote{or ``cowardly''} and non-believing and abominable
|
|
and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars [will have]
|
|
their part in the lake burning with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.
|
|
\VS{9} And one of the angels having the seven bowls filled with the seven
|
|
last plagues came and spoke with me saying: Come! I will show you the bride,
|
|
the wife of the lamb.
|
|
\VS{10} And he brought me in the spirit to [a] great and
|
|
high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem descending out of
|
|
heaven from God,
|
|
\VS{11} having the glory of God, her radiance like [a]
|
|
precious stone, like jasper, clean as crystal,
|
|
\VS{12} having [a] great and
|
|
high wall, having twelve gates, and upon the gates twelve angels, and names
|
|
inscribed, which are the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
|
|
\VS{13} From the east [are] three gates, and from the north [are] three gates,
|
|
and from the south [are] three gates, and from the west [are] three gates.
|
|
\VS{14} And the wall of the
|
|
city [was] having twelve foundations, and upon them twelve names of the twelve
|
|
apostles of the lamb.
|
|
\VS{15} And the [one] speaking with me had [a] golden
|
|
measuring rod, in order that he measure the city and her gates and her wall.
|
|
\VS{16} And the city lay square, and her length [was] as great as [her] breadth. And
|
|
he measured the city with [a] rod, twelve thousand stadiums\footnote{approx
|
|
1300 miles (1 stade = 607 ft).}; her length and breadth and height are
|
|
equal.
|
|
\VS{17} And he measures her wall, one hundred forty four
|
|
cubits\footnote{about 150 feet (1 cubit equals approximately 18 inches)},
|
|
[according to the] measure of man, which is of [the] angel.
|
|
\VS{18} And the material of her wall is
|
|
jasper, and the city [was] pure gold like pure crystal.
|
|
\VS{19} The foundations
|
|
of the wall of the city [were] adorned with every precious stone, the first
|
|
foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth
|
|
emerald,
|
|
\VS{20} the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh
|
|
chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the
|
|
eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
|
|
\VS{21} And the twelve gates [are] twelve
|
|
pearls, each one of the gates was from one pearl. And the street of the city
|
|
[is] pure gold as transparent glass.
|
|
\VS{22} And I saw no temple in her, for the
|
|
Lord God almighty [is] her temple, and the lamb.
|
|
\VS{23} And the city has no
|
|
need of the sun nor of the moon, in order that they shine on her, for the
|
|
glory of God illumined her, and her lamp [is] the lamb.
|
|
\VS{24} And the nations walk through her light,
|
|
and the kings of the land bring their glory into her,
|
|
\VS{25} and her gates will \negd{not} be shut by day, for there will be no night there.
|
|
\VS{26} And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into her.
|
|
\VS{27} And there shall \negd{not} enter into her any common
|
|
and the [one] doing abomination and falsehood, except those
|
|
written in the scroll of zoe-life\fnZoe{} of the lamb.
