1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. 16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
1 Es redzēju jaunu debesi un jaunu zemi, jo pirmā debess un pirmā zeme bija zudusi, un jūras vairs nav.
2 Un es redzēju svēto pilsētu, jauno Jeruzālemi nokāpjam no debesīm no Dieva, sagatavotu kā savam vīram greznotu līgavu.
3 Un es dzirdēju stipru balsi no troņa sakām: „Redzi, Dieva mājoklis pie cilvēkiem, viņš mājos viņu vidū, un tie būs viņa ļaudis, un Dievs pats būs ar viņiem.
4 Viņš nožāvēs visas asaras no viņu acīm, nāves vairs nebūs, nedz bēdu, nedz vaidu, nedz sāpju vairs nebūs, jo kas bija, ir pagājis.“
5 Tas, kas sēdēja goda krēslā, teica: „Redzi, visu es daru jaunu.“ Tad viņš teica: „Raksti! Jo šie vārdi ir neapšaubāmi un patiesi.“
6 Un viņš man sacīja: „Ir noticis. Es esmu A un O, sākums un gals. Es došu izslāpušajam bez maksas no dzīvī-bas ūdens avota.
7 Kas uzvar, tas to iemantos, un es būšu viņa Dievs, un viņš būs mans dēls.
8 Bet bailīgajiem, neticīgajiem, apgānītājiem, slepkavām, netikļiem, burvjiem, elku kalpiem un visiem melkuļiem būs sava daļa degošā sēra uguns jūrā; tā ir otra nave.“
9 Tad atnāca viens no septiņiem eņģeļiem, kuriem bija septiņi kausi, pildīti ar septiņām pēdējām mocībām, runāja ar mani un sacīja: „Nāc, es tev rādīšu līgavu, Jēra sievu.“
10 Viņš mani aiznesa garā uz lielu, augstu kalnu un rādīja man svēto pilsētu Jeruzālemi nokāpjam no debesīm no Dieva.
11 Tā bija dievišķā godībā; tās spožums bija kā visdārgākā akmens spožums, kā kristalldzidrs jaspids.
12 Tai bija liels, augsts mūris ar divpadsmit vārtiem un uz vārtiem div-padsmit eņģeļu; tur bija uzrakstīti div-padsmit vārdi, tie ir Israēla divpadsmit cilšu vārdi;
13 Trīs vārti uz austrumiem, trīs uz ziemeļiem, trīs uz dienvidiem un trīs uz rietumiem.
14 Pilsētas mūrim pamatā bija divpadsmit akmeņi un uz tiem rakstīti divpadsmit vārdi. Jēra divpadsmit apustuļu vārdi.
15 Tam, kas ar mani runāja, bija mērogs, zelta niedre, pilsētas, tās vārtu un mūra mērīšanai.
16 Pilsēta celta četrstūrī, tikpat gajra cik plata. Viņš mērīja pilsētu ar niedri. Tur bija ap divpadsmit tūkstoš stadiju. Tās garums, platums un augstums bija vienādi.
17 Tad viņš mērīja tās mūri: simts četrdesmit četras olektis, pēc cilvēku mēra, kas ir eņģeļa mērs.
18 Tās mūris bija celts no jaspida, un pilsēta bija no tīra zelta, līdzīga skaidram stiklam.
19 Pilsētas mūra pamati bija rotāti ar dažādiem dārgakmeņiem. Pirmais pamatakmens bija jaspids, otrs safīrs, trešais chalkedons, ceturtais smaragds,
20 Piektais sardoniks, sestais sardijs, septītais chrizolits, astotais berils, devītais topāzs, desmitais chrisoprass, vienpadsmitais hiakinīs, divpadsmitais ametists.
21 Divpadsmit vārti bija divpadsmit pērles, katri vārti bija darināti no vienas pašas pērles; un pilsētas iela bija tīrais zelts kā caurspīdīgs stikls.
22 Tempļa es tur neredzēju. Jo Kungs Dievs visuvaldītājs ir viņas tem-plis, un Jērs.
23 Pilsētai saules un mēness gaismas nevajaga, jo Dieva spožums to apgaismo, un viņas gaisma ir Jērs.
24 Tautas staigās viņas gaismā, un visas zemes ķēniņi nesīs turp savu greznumu.
25 Viņas vārtus dienā nekad neaizslēgs, jo nakts tur nava.
26 Viņā sanesīs tautu greznumus un dārgumus.
27 Ne mūžam tur nekas neieies, kas nesvēts, un neviens, kas dara negantību un melo, bet vienīgi tie, kas rakstīti Jēra dzīvības grāmatā.
