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.
Jaunas debesis un jauna zeme
1 Tad es ieraudzīju jaunas debesis un jaunu zemi, jo pirmās debesis un pirmā zeme bija zudušas un jūras vairs nebija. 2 Es ieraudzīju svēto pilsētu, jauno Jeruzālemi, nokāpjam no debesīm, no Dieva, kā līgavu, sapostu un izrotātu savam vīram. 3 Es dzirdēju varenu balsi atskanam no troņa: redzi, Dieva mājoklis pie cilvēkiem, un viņš mājos kopā ar viņiem, un viņi būs viņa tauta, pats Dievs būs ar viņiem un būs viņu Dievs. 4 Un Dievs noslaucīs visas asaras no viņu acīm, un nāves vairs nebūs, nedz bēdu, nedz vaimanu, nedz sāpju vairs nebūs, jo viss bijušais ir pagājis. 5 Tas, kas sēdēja tronī, teica: “Redzi, es visu daru jaunu. Tad viņš teica: raksti, jo šis vēstījums ir uzticams un patiess.” 6 Un viņš man sacīja: “Tas ir noticis. Es esmu Alfa un Omega, Sākums un Gals. Es došu izslāpušajam dzert bez maksas no dzīvā ūdens avota. 7 Kas uzvar, tas mantos šo visu, un es būšu viņa Dievs, un viņš būs mans dēls. 8 Bet bailīgajiem un neticīgajiem, negantniekiem, slepkavām un netikļiem, burvjiem un elku pielūdzējiem, un visiem meļiem būs daļa degošā uguns un sēra ezerā, kas ir otrā nāve.”
Jaunā Jeruzāleme
9 Tad nāca viens no septiņiem eņģeļiem, kuriem bija septiņi trauki, pildīti ar septiņām pēdējā laika sērgām, un uzrunāja mani: “Skaties, es tev rādīšu līgavu, Jēra sievu.” 10 Viņš mani garā aizveda uz lielu, augstu kalnu un rādīja man svēto pilsētu Jeruzālemi nokāpjam no debesīm, no Dieva, 11 ar dievišķu spožumu – tās mirdzums bija kā dārgakmenim, kā kristālskaidram jašmas akmenim. 12 Ap pilsētu bija liels, augsts mūris ar divpadsmit vārtiem, un uz vārtiem bija divpadsmit eņģeļi. Uz vārtiem bija rakstīti divpadsmit Israēla cilšu dēlu vārdi. 13 Austrumu pusē bija trīs vārti, ziemeļu pusē – trīs vārti, dienvidu pusē – trīs vārti un rietumu pusē – trīs vārti. 14 Un pilsētas mūris bija uz divpadsmit pamatakmeņiem un uz tiem – divpadsmit Jēra apustuļu vārdi. 15 Eņģelim, kas runāja ar mani, bija zelta mērāmnūja, lai mērītu pilsētu, tās vārtus un mūri. 16 Pilsētai bija četrstūra forma, tās garums bija tāds pats kā platums; eņģelis ar mērāmnūju izmērīja pilsētu – tur bija divpadsmit tūkstoši stadiju, tās platums un augstums, un garums bija vienādi. 17 Tad viņš izmērīja mūrus, tie bija simt četrdesmit četras olektis – eņģelis lietoja tādu pašu mēru, kādu lieto cilvēki. 18 Mūris bija celts no jašmas un pilsēta no tīra zelta, tik tīra kā dzidrs stikls. 19 Pilsētas mūra pamati bija izrotāti ar dažādiem dārgakmeņiem – pirmie pamati no jašmas, otrie – no safīra, trešie – no halcedona, ceturtie – no smaragda, 20 piektie – no sardonīka, sestie – no serdolika, septītie – no hrizolīta, astotie – no berila, devītie – no topāza, desmitie – no ahāta, vienpadsmitie – no hiacinta, divpadsmitie – no ametista. 21 Divpadsmit vārti bija divpadsmit pērles – katri vārti no vienas pērles; pilsētas iela bija no tīra zelta, kas bija caurspīdīgs kā stikls. 22 Templi es neredzēju, jo tās templis ir Kungs Dievs, Visuvaldītājs, un Jērs. 23 Pilsētai nav vajadzības pēc saules un mēness, lai to darītu gaišu, jo to apspīd Dieva spožums un tās gaismeklis ir Jērs. 24 Tautas staigās tās gaismā, un zemes ķēniņi nesīs tajā savu spožumu. 25 Dienā tās vārti netiks aizslēgti; nakts tur vairs nebūs. 26 Tajā ieplūdīs tautu spožums un gods. 27 Bet nekad tur neieies necienīgais, nešķīstais un melīgais. Tajā ieies tikai tie, kas ierakstīti Jēra dzīvības grāmatā.
