The New Heaven and the New Earth
1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and so had the sea. 2 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 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 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 Everything is finished! I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will freely give water from the life-giving fountain to everyone who is thirsty. 7 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.
The 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 Nations will walk by the light of that city, and kings will bring their riches there. 25 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 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 life will be in the city.

Jaunō piļsāta.
1 Es redzēju jaunus dabasus un jaunu zemi, jo pirmī dabasi un pyrmō zeme beja pōrgōjuši, arī jyuras vairs nav. 2 Un es (Jōņs) redzēju svātū piļsātu, jaunū Jeruzalemu, kas nōce nu dabasim nu Dīva, kura beja īrūšta kai leigova, kas īsarūš sovam leigovaiņam. 3 Nu gūda krāsla es dzērdēju lelu bolsu saucam: Raug, šitei ir Dīva nūmetne storp ļaudim. Jei dzeivōs pi jim, un jī byus jōs tauta, un pats Dīvs dzeivōs storp jim. 4 Un Jys nūslauceis nu jūs acim ikvīnu osoru, un nabyus vairs ni nōves, ni sōpu, ni žālōšonōs, ni cīsšonu, jo tys īprīkšejais jau ir pagōjis.
5 Un tys, kas sēdēja gūda krāslā, saceja: Raug, es vysu doru jaunu, un tōļōk: Roksti: Šytī vōrdi ir patīseigi un taisneigi.
6 Un jys man saceja: Jau izapiļdeja. Es asmu Alfa un Omega, īsōkums un beigas. Slōpstūšajam es dūšu par breivu yudini nu dzeiveibas olūtim. 7 Uzvarātōjs tū īmontōs un es jam byušu Dīvs un jys man byus dāls. 8 Bet baileigī, naticeigī, satraipeitī, slapkovas, bezkauneigī, būri, dīvaklu kolpi un visi moldu mōceitōji sajims sovu daļu dagūšajā guņs un sāra mutulī. Šytei byus ūtrō nōve.
9 Tad pi manis atnōce vīns nu tim septenim engelim ar septenim kausim pylnim ar septenim pādejim mērim un man runōja saceidams: Nōc, es tev parōdeišu leigovu, Jāra sīvu. 10 Un jys mani pajēme gorā uz lela augsta kolna un parōdeja man svātū piļsātu Jeruzalemu, kaida jei nu dabasim nu Dīva nūkōpe Dīva gūdeibā. 11 Jei mirdzēja kai vysdōrgōkais dōrgakmiņs, kai kristalteirais Jaspids. 12 Jai beja lels augsts myurs un divpadsmit vōrtu un uz tim vōrtim divpadsmit engeļu un uzraksteiti vōrdi, kas ir divpadsmit Izraeļa bārnu ciļšu vōrdi. 13 Trejs vōrti beja uz austrumim, trejs uz zīmelim, trejs uz dīnvydim un trejs uz vokorim. 14 Piļsātas myuram beja divpadsmit pamatakmiņu, uz kurim beja uzraksteiti divpadsmit jāra apostolu vōrdi.
15 Tam, kas ar mani runōja, beja zalta mārs, lai izmēreitu piļsātu, jōs vōrtus un jōs myuru. 16 Piļsāta ir calta četrstyurī, cik gara tik arī plota. Jys piļsātā izmēreja ar (zalta) māru divpadsmit tyukstūšu stadiju; jai garums, plotums un augstums ir vīnaidi. 17 Myurūs jys izmēreja symts četrudesmit četras ūlekts, pēc cylvāku māra, kurs ir arī engeļu mārs. 18 Jōs myuri beja calti nu jaspida, poša piļsāta nu teira zalta, tik teira kai stykls. 19 Piļsātas myura pamatakmiņi beja īrūšti ar dažaidim dōrgakminim. Pyrmais pamatakmiņs beja jaspids, ūtrais — safirs, trešais — chalcedons, catūrtais — smaragds, 20 pīktais — sardoniks, sastais — sardis, septeitais — chrizolits, ostoitais — berills, deveitais — topazs, dasmytais — chrizopras, vīnpadsmytais — hyacynts, divpadsmytais — ametists. 21 Divpadsmit vōrti beja divpadsmit pērles, kotri vōrti beja nu vīnas pērles. Piļsātas īlas beja nu teira zalta, kai caurspeidūšs stykls.
22 Es tur naredzēju nivīnas svētneicas, jo Dīvs Kungs Vysvareigais un Jārs ir jōs svētneica. 23 Piļsātas apgaismōšonai navajadzēja ni saules, ni mēneša, jo Dīva gūdeiba jū apspeidēja un gaismas olūts jai beja Jārs. 24 Jō spūžumā dzeivōs tautas un vērszemes kēneni jamā īness sovu gūdu (un dōrgumu). 25 Jōs vōrti dīn natiks slāgti, bet nakts tur nabyus. 26 Jamā saplyuss tautu gūds un dōrgums. 27 Bet jamā nikod nikas nateirs naīkļyus, arī nivīns elku dīvu kolps un nivīns moldu mōceitōjs, bet tikai tī, kas ir īraksteiti Jāra dzeiveibas grōmotā.
