1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth departed, and the sea is no longer.2 And I saw a new holy city Jerusalem descending from out of heaven from Yahweh, having been prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.3 And I heard a great voice from out of the throne, saying: "Behold! The tabernacle of Yahweh is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and Yahweh Himself shall be with them,4 and He shall wipe every tear from their eyes, and death shall not be hereafter, nor grief, nor crying, nor toil, it shall be no longer: the former things have departed!"5 And He sitting upon the throne said: "Behold! I shall make all new things!" And He says: "Write! Because these words are trustworthy and true!"6 And He said to me: "They are made! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end! To he who thirsts I shall give freely from out of the fountain of the water of life.7 He who prevails shall inherit these things and I shall be a God for him and he shall be a son for Me.8 But for the cowards and the faithless and abominable and murderers and fornicators and drug-makers and idolaters and all those who lie, their fate is burning in the lake in fire and sulfur, which is the second death!"9 And one from among the seven messengers having the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying: "Come! I shall show to you the bride, the wife of the Lamb!"10 And he took me away in the Spirit up to a mountain great and high, and showed to me the holy city Jerusalem descending from out of heaven from Yahweh,11 having the effulgence of Yahweh, her radiance like precious stone as jasper stone, clear as crystal;12 having a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and above the gates twelve messengers, and names inscribed which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel:13 from the east three gates, and from the north three gates, and from the south three gates, and from the west three gates.14 And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and upon them the twelve names of the twelve ambassadors of the Lamb.15 And he speaking with me had a golden measuring-rod, that he may measure the city and her gates and her wall.16 And the city lies foursquare and her length as great as the breadth. And he measured the city with the rod for twelve thousand stades, her length and the breadth and the height are the same.17 And he measured her wall, a hundred forty-four cubits measure of a man, which is of a messenger.18 And the structure of her wall was jasper, and the city pure gold like pure glass.19 And the foundations of the walls of the city all adorned with precious stone: the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh olivine, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh hyacinth, the twelfth amethyst.21 And the twelve gates twelve pearls, each one of the gates was from of one pearl. And the streets of the city pure gold, as transparent glass.22 And I saw no temple in her, for Prince Yahweh Almighty is her temple, and the Lamb.23 And the city has not need of the sun nor of the moon that they would illuminate her, for the effulgence of Yahweh illuminates her, and her lamp is the Lamb.24 And the Nations shall walk by her light, and the kings of the earth shall bring their honor into her,25 and her gates shall not be closed by day (for there shall not be night there),26 and they shall bring the honor and the dignity of the Nations into her.27 And there may not enter into her anything common and which makes an abomination and a lie, except those written in the book of life of the Lamb.
