1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. 2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. 3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God’s dwelling is with people; and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more. The first things have passed away."
5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true." 6 He said to me, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life. 7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son. 8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls which were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife." 10 He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12 having a great and high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. 13 On the east were three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
15 He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls. 16 The city is square. Its length is as great as its width. He measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand twelve stadia. Its length, width, and height are equal. 17 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass. 19 The foundations of the city’s wall 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 pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there), 26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter. 27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
1 我又看见一个新天新地， 因为先前的天地都过去了， 海也再没有了。
2 我又看见圣城， 新耶路撒冷， 从天上由 神那里降下来， 预备好了， 好像打扮整齐等候丈夫的新娘。
3 我听见有大声音从宝座那里发出来， 说： "看哪！ 神的帐幕在人间， 他要与人同住， 他们要作他的子民。 神要亲自与他们同在， 要作他们的 神。
4 他要抹去他们的一切眼泪， 不再有死亡， 也不再有悲哀、哭号、痛苦， 因为先前的事都过去了。"
5 坐在宝座上的那一位说： "看哪， 我把一切都更新了！ "又说： "你要写下来， 因为这些话是可信的、真实的。"
6 他又对我说： "成了！ 我是阿拉法， 是俄梅格； 我是创始的， 也是成终的。我要把生命的泉水， 白白赐给口渴的人喝。
7 得胜的， 必要承受这些福分。我要作他的 神， 他要作我的儿子。
8 只是那些胆怯的、不信的、可憎的、杀人的、淫乱的、行邪术的、拜偶像的和所有说谎的人， 他们的分是在烧着硫磺的火湖里。这就是第二次的死。"
9 拿着七个盛满着末后七灾的碗的七位天使中， 有一位走来对我说： "你来！ 我要把新娘， 就是羊羔的妻子， 指示你。"
10 我在灵里被那天使带到一座高大的山上， 他把从天上由 神那里降下来的圣城耶路撒冷指示我。
11 这城有 神的荣耀， 城的光辉好像极贵的宝石， 又像晶莹的碧玉。
12 有高大的城墙， 有十二个门， 门口有十二位天使， 门上写着以色列十二支派的名字。
13 东边有三个门， 南边有三个门， 西边有三个门， 北边有三个门。
14 城墙有十二座根基， 根基上有羊羔的十二使徒的名字。
15 那对我说话的天使拿着一根金的芦苇， 要量那城、城门和城墙。
16 城是四方的， 长宽都一样。天使用芦苇量那城， 共有二千四百公里（"二千四百公里"原文作"一万二千司他町"）， 城的长、宽、高都一样；
17 又量了城墙， 约有六十公尺（"六十公尺"原文作"一百四十四肘"）。天使用的标准， 就是人量度的标准。
18 城墙是用碧玉做的， 城是用明净像玻璃的纯金做的。
19 城墙的根基是用各样宝石装饰的： 第一座根基是碧玉， 第二座是蓝宝石， 第三座是玛瑙， 第四座是绿宝石，
20 第五座是红玛瑙， 第六座是红宝石， 第七座是黄璧玺， 第八座是水苍玉， 第九座是红璧玺， 第十座是翡翠， 第十一座是紫玛瑙， 第十二座是紫晶。
21 十二个门是十二颗珍珠， 每一个门是用一颗珍珠做的。城里的街道是纯金的， 好像透明的玻璃。
22 我没有看见城里有圣所， 因为主全能的 神和羊羔就是城的圣所。
23 这城不需要日月照明， 因为有 神的荣耀照明， 而羊羔就是城的灯。
24 列国要借着城的光行走， 地上的众王要把他们的荣华带到这城来。
25 城门白天决不关闭。在那里并没有黑夜。
26 列国的荣华尊贵都被带到这城。
27 所有不洁净的、行可憎的和说谎的， 决不可以进入这城。只有名字记在羊羔生命册上的才可以进去。
