1 The angel also showed me the river of the water of life, sparkling like crystal, and coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 and flowing down the middle of the city's street. On each side of the river was the tree of life, which bears fruit twelve times a year, once each month; and its leaves are for the healing of the nations. 3 Nothing that is under God's curse will be found in the city.
The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will worship him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no more night, and they will not need lamps or sunlight, because the Lord God will be their light, and they will rule as kings forever and ever.
The Coming of Jesus
6 Then the angel said to me, “These words are true and can be trusted. And the Lord God, who gives his Spirit to the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must happen very soon.”
7 “Listen!” says Jesus. “I am coming soon! Happy are those who obey the prophetic words in this book!”
8 I, John, have heard and seen all these things. And when I finished hearing and seeing them, I fell down at the feet of the angel who had shown me these things, and I was about to worship him. 9 But he said to me, “Don't do it! I am a servant together with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all those who obey the words in this book. Worship God!” 10 And he said to me, “Do not keep the prophetic words of this book a secret, because the time is near when all this will happen. 11 Whoever is evil must go on doing evil, and whoever is filthy must go on being filthy; whoever is good must go on doing good, and whoever is holy must go on being holy.”
12 “Listen!” says Jesus. “I am coming soon! I will bring my rewards with me, to give to each one according to what he has done. 13 I am the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
14 Happy are those who wash their robes clean and so have the right to eat the fruit from the tree of life and to go through the gates into the city. 15 But outside the city are the perverts and those who practice magic, the immoral and the murderers, those who worship idols and those who are liars both in words and deeds.
16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to announce these things to you in the churches. I am descended from the family of David; I am the bright morning star.”
17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!”
Everyone who hears this must also say, “Come!”
Come, whoever is thirsty; accept the water of life as a gift, whoever wants it.
Conclusion
18 I, John, solemnly warn everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book: if any add anything to them, God will add to their punishment the plagues described in this book. 19 And if any take anything away from the prophetic words of this book, God will take away from them their share of the fruit of the tree of life and of the Holy City, which are described in this book.
20 He who gives his testimony to all this says, “Yes indeed! I am coming soon!”
So be it. Come, Lord Jesus!
21 May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with everyone.
1 Viņš man rādīja dzīvības ūdens upi, tā bija skaidra kā kristāls un iztecēja no Dieva un Jēra goda krēsla. 2 Viņas ielas vidū un upei abās pusēs bija dzīvības koks, tas nesa augļus divpadsmit reizes, katru mēnesi savu augli, un viņa lapas bija tautām par dziedināšanu. 3 Nekas tur nebūs vairs nolādēts. Tur stāvēs Dieva un Viņa Jēra tronis, un Viņa kalpi Tam kalpos. 4 Tie skatīs Viņa vaigu, un Viņa Vārds būs tiem uz pierēm. 5 Tur nebūs vairs nakts, ne sveces, ne saules gaisma tiem nebūs vajadzīga; jo Kungs Dievs izlies gaismu pār viņiem, un viņi valdīs mūžīgi mūžam. 6 Tad viņš man sacīja: "Šie vārdi ir uzticami un patiesi. Tas Kungs, praviešu garu Dievs, ir sūtījis Savu eņģeli atklāt Saviem kalpiem, kam drīzumā jānotiek. 7 Redzi, Es nāku drīz!" Svētīgs, kas tur šīs grāmatas pravietojuma vārdus. 8 Es, Jānis, to visu dzirdēju un redzēju. Un, kad es to dzirdēju un redzēju, es kritu pie kājām eņģelim, kas man to rādīja, un gribēju viņu pielūgt. 9 Bet viņš man saka: "Nedari to! Es esmu tāds pats kalps kā tu, kā tavi brāļi pravieši un visi tie, kas tur šīs grāmatas vārdus. Pielūdz Dievu!" 10 Tad viņš man saka: "Neaizzīmogo šīs grāmatas pravietojuma vārdus! Jo noliktais laiks ir tuvu. 11 Netaisnais lai dara vēl netaisnību, nešķīstais lai grimst vēl nešķīstībā, bet taisnais lai dara arī turpmāk taisnību, svētais lai pastāv arī turpmāk svētumā." 12 "Redzi, Es nāku drīz un Mana alga līdz ar Mani atmaksāt ikvienam pēc viņa darbiem. 13 Es esmu Alfa un Omega, Pirmais un Pēdējais, Sākums un Gals. 14 Svētīgi, kas mazgā savas drēbes, lai tiem būtu daļa pie dzīvības koka un varētu pa vārtiem ieiet pilsētā. 15 Ārā paliek suņi, burvji, netikļi, slepkavas, elku kalpi un visi, kas mīl un runā melus. 16 Es, Jēzus, esmu sūtījis Savu eņģeli, lai jums šo liecību dotu draudzēs. Es esmu Dāvida sakne un dzimums, spožā Rīta Zvaigzne." 17 Un Gars un līgava saka: "Nāc!" Un, kas to dzird, lai saka: "Nāc!" Kam slāpst, lai nāk; kas grib, lai ņem dzīvības ūdeni bez maksas. 18 Es apliecinu katram, kas dzird šās grāmatas pravietojuma vārdus: ja kas tiem ko pieliek, tam Dievs uzliks tās mocības, par kurām rakstīts šinī grāmatā. 19 Ja kas ko atņem no šīs grāmatas pravietojuma vārdiem, tam Dievs atņems viņa daļu pie dzīvības koka un pie svētās pilsētas, par ko rakstīts šinī grāmatā. 20 Tas, kas visu šo apliecina, saka: "Tiešām, Es nāku drīz. Āmen." Tiešām, nāc, Kungs Jēzu! 21 Mūsu Kunga Jēzus žēlastība lai ir ar visiem! Āmen!
