요한계시록 21

1또 내가 새 하늘과 새 땅을 보니 처음 하늘과 처음 땅이 없어졌고 바다도 다시 있지 않더라 2또 내가 보매 거룩한 성 새 예루살렘이 하나님께로부터 하늘에서 내려오니 그 예비한 것이 신부가 남편을 위하여 단장한 것 같더라 3내가 들으니 보좌에서 큰 음성이 나서 가로되 보라 하나님의 장막이 사람들과 함께 있으매 하나님이 저희와 함께 거하시리니 저희는 하나님의 백성이 되고 하나님은 친히 저희와 함께 계셔서 4모든 눈물을 그 눈에서 씻기시매 다시 사망이 없고 애통하는 것이나 곡하는 것이나 아픈 것이 다시 있지 아니하리니 처음 것들이 다 지나갔음이러라 5보좌에 앉으신 이가 가라사대 보라 내가 만물을 새롭게 하노라 하시고 또 가라사대 이 말은 신실하고 참되니 기록하라 하시고 6또 내게 말씀하시되 이루었도다 나는 알파와 오메가요 처음과 나중이라 내가 생명수 샘물로 목마른 자에게 값없이 주리니 7이기는 자는 이것들을 유업으로 얻으리라 나는 저의 하나님이 되고 그는 내 아들이 되리라 8그러나 두려워하는 자들과 믿지 아니하는 자들과 흉악한 자들과 살인자들과 행음자들과 술객들과 우상 숭배자들과 모든 거짓말하는 자들은 불과 유황으로 타는 못에 참예하리니 이것이 둘째 사망이라 9일곱 대접을 가지고 마지막 일곱 재앙을 담은 일곱 천사 중 하나가 나아와서 내게 말하여 가로되 이리 오라 내가 신부 곧 어린 양의 아내를 네게 보이리라 하고 10성령으로 나를 데리고 크고 높은 산으로 올라가 하나님께로부터 하늘에서 내려오는 거룩한 성 예루살렘을 보이니 11하나님의 영광이 있으매 그 성의 빛이 지극히 귀한 보석 같고 벽옥과 수정 같이 맑더라 12크고 높은 성곽이 있고 열두 문이 있는데 문에 열두 천사가 있고 그 문들 위에 이름을 썼으니 이스라엘 자손 열두 지파의 이름들이라 13동편에 세 문, 북편에 세 문, 남편에 세 문, 서편에 세 문이니 14그 성에 성곽은 열두 기초석이 있고 그 위에 어린 양의 십이 사도의 열두 이름이 있더라 15내게 말하는 자가 그 성과 그 문들과 성곽을 척량하려고 금 갈대를 가졌더라 16그 성은 네모가 반듯하여 장광이 같은지라 그 갈대로 그 성을 척량하니 일만 이천 스다디온이요 장과 광과 고가 같더라 17그 성곽을 척량하매 일백사십사 규빗이니 사람의 척량 곧 천사의 척량이라 18그 성곽은 벽옥으로 쌓였고 그 성은 정금인데 맑은 유리 같더라 19그 성의 성곽의 기초석은 각색 보석으로 꾸몄는데 첫째 기초석은 벽옥이요 둘째는 남보석이요 셋째는 옥수요 넷째는 녹보석이요 20다섯째는 홍마노요 여섯째는 홍보석이요 일곱째는 황옥이요 여덟째는 녹옥이요 아홉째는 담황옥이요 열째는 비취옥이요 열한째는 청옥이요 열두째는 자정이라 21그 열두 문은 열두 진주니 문마다 한 진주요 성의 길은 맑은 유리 같은 정금이더라 22성 안에 성전을 내가 보지 못하였으니 이는 주 하나님 곧 전능하신 이와 및 어린 양이 그 성전이심이라 23그 성은 해나 달의 비췸이 쓸 데 없으니 이는 하나님의 영광이 비취고 어린 양이 그 등이 되심이라 24만국이 그 빛 가운데로 다니고 땅의 왕들이 자기 영광을 가지고 그리로 들어오리라 25성문들을 낮에 도무지 닫지 아니하리니 거기는 밤이 없음이라 26사람들이 만국의 영광과 존귀를 가지고 그리로 들어오겠고 27무엇이든지 속된 것이나 가증한 일 또는 거짓말하는 자는 결코 그리로 들어오지 못하되 오직 어린 양의 생명책에 기록된 자들뿐이라

1I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. 2I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. 3I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.” 5He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.” 6He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life. 7He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son. 8But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers,idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” 9One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the wife, the Lamb’s bride.” 10He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, 11having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. 13On the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 14The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb. 15He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city, its gates, and its walls. 16The city is square, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, Twelve thousand twelve stadia. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. 17Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 18The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass. 19The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; 20the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst. 21The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. 22I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple. 23The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 25Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there), 26and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter. 27There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

1En ik zag een nieuwen hemel en een nieuwe aarde; want de eerste hemel, en de eerste aarde was voorbijgegaan, en de zee was niet meer. 2En ik, Johannes, zag de heilige stad, het nieuwe Jeruzalem, nederdalende van God uit den hemel, toebereid als een bruid, die voor haar man versierd is. 3En ik hoorde een grote stem uit den hemel, zeggende: Ziet, de tabernakel Gods is bij de mensen, en Hij zal bij hen wonen, en zij zullen Zijn volk zijn, en God Zelf zal bij hen en hun God zijn. 4En God zal alle tranen van hun ogen afwissen; en de dood zal niet meer zijn; noch rouw, noch gekrijt, noch moeite zal meer zijn; want de eerste dingen zijn weggegaan. 5En Die op den troon zat, zeide: Ziet, Ik maak alle dingen nieuw. En Hij zeide tot mij: Schrijf, want deze woorden zijn waarachtig en getrouw. 6En Hij sprak tot mij: Het is geschied. Ik ben de Alfa en de Omega, het Begin en het Einde. Ik zal den dorstige geven uit de fontein van het water des levens voor niet. 7Die overwint, zal alles beerven; en Ik zal hem een God zijn, en hij zal Mij een zoon zijn. 8Maar den vreesachtigen, en ongelovigen, en gruwelijken, en doodslagers, en hoereerders, en tovenaars, en afgodendienaars, en al den leugenaars, is hun deel in den poel, die daar brandt van vuur en sulfer; hetwelk is de tweede dood. 9En tot mij kwam een van de zeven engelen, die de zeven fiolen hadden, welke vol geweest waren van de zeven laatste plagen, en sprak met mij, zeggende: Kom herwaarts, ik zal u tonen de Bruid, de Vrouw des Lams. 10En hij voerde mij weg in den geest op een groten en hogen berg, en hij toonde mij de grote stad, het heilige Jeruzalem, nederdalende uit den hemel van God. 11En zij had de heerlijkheid Gods, en haar licht was den allerkostelijksten steen gelijk, namelijk als den steen Jaspis, blinkende gelijk kristal. 12En zij had een groten en hogen muur, en had twaalf poorten, en in de poorten twaalf engelen, en namen daarop geschreven, welken zijn de namen der twaalf geslachten der kinderen Israels. 13Van het oosten waren drie poorten, van het noorden drie poorten, van het zuiden drie poorten, van het westen drie poorten. 14En de muur der stad had twaalf fondamenten, en in dezelve de namen der twaalf apostelen des Lams. 15En hij die met mij sprak, had een gouden rietstok, opdat hij de stad zou meten, en haar poorten, en haar muur. 16En de stad lag vierkant, en haar lengte was zo groot als haar breedte. En hij mat de stad met den rietstok op twaalf duizend stadien; de lengte, en de breedte, en de hoogte derzelve waren even gelijk. 17En hij mat haar muur op honderd vier en veertig ellen, naar de maat eens mensen, welke des engels was. 18En het gebouw van haar muur Jaspis; en de stad was zuiver goud, zijnde zuiver glas gelijk. 19En de fondamenten van den muur der stad waren met allerlei kostelijk gesteente versierd. Het eerste fondament was Jaspis, het tweede Saffier, het derde Chalcedon, het vierde Smaragd. 20Het vijfde Sardonix, het zesde Sardius, het zevende Chrysoliet, het achtste Beryl, het negende Topaas, het tiende Chrysopraas, het elfde Hyacinth, het twaalfde Amethyst. 21En de twaalf poorten waren twaalf paarlen, een iedere poort was elk uit een paarl; en de straat der stad was zuiver goud; gelijk doorluchtig glas. 22En ik zag geen tempel in dezelve; want de Heere, de almachtige God, is haar Tempel, en het Lam. 23En de stad behoeft de zon en de maan niet, dat zij in dezelve zouden schijnen; want de heerlijkheid Gods heeft haar verlicht, en het Lam is haar Kaars. 24En de volken, die zalig worden, zullen in haar licht wandelen; en de koningen der aarde brengen hun heerlijkheid en eer in dezelve. 25En haar poorten zullen niet gesloten worden des daags; want aldaar zal geen nacht zijn. 26En zij zullen de heerlijkheid en de eer der volken daarin brengen. 27En in haar zal niet inkomen iets, dat ontreinigt, en gruwelijkheid doet, en leugen spreekt; maar die geschreven zijn in het boek des levens des Lams.
