Offenbarung 21 | Верен
1И видях ново небе и нова земя; защото първото небе и първата земя преминаха и морето го няма вече.2И видях и светия град, новия Ерусалим*, да слиза от небето от Бога, приготвен като невяста, украсена за мъжа си.3И чух силен глас от престола, който казваше: Ето, скинията на Бога е с хората и Той ще обитава с тях; и те ще бъдат Негов народ и Сам Бог ще бъде с тях – техен Бог.4Той ще избърше всяка сълза от очите им и смърт няма да има вече, няма да има вече нито жалеене, нито писък, нито болка; първото премина.5И Седящият на престола каза: Ето, правя всичко ново. И ми каза: Запиши, защото тези думи са верни и истинни.6И ми каза: Сбъдна се! Аз съм Алфа и Омега, Началото и Краят. На жадния ще дам даром от извора на водата на живота.7Който победи, ще наследи всичко това и Аз ще му бъда Бог, и той ще Ми бъде син.8А колкото за страхливите, невярващите, нечистите, убийците, блудниците, чародеите, идолопоклонниците и всичките лъжци, техният дял ще бъде в езерото, което гори с огън и сяра. Това е втората смърт.9Тогава дойде един от седемте ангела, които държаха седемте чаши, пълни със седемте последни язви, и ми говори, като каза: Ела, ще ти покажа невястата, жената на Агнето.10И ме отведе в Духа на една голяма и висока планина и ми показа светия град, Ерусалим, слизащ от небето от Бога*,11и имаше славата на Бога*, като блестеше, както блести някой много скъпоценен камък, като яспис, прозрачен* като кристал.12Градът имаше голяма и висока стена с дванадесет порти и на портите – дванадесет ангела, и върху портите – написани имена, които са имената на дванадесетте племена на израилевите синове:13на изток – три порти, на север – три порти, на юг – три порти и на запад – три порти.14И градската стена имаше дванадесет основни камъка и на тях – имената на дванадесетте апостоли на Агнето.15И този, който ми говореше, имаше за мярка златна тръстика, с която да измери града, портите и стената му.16Градът беше четвъртит, с дължина равна на ширината му; и като измери града с тръстиката, той излезе дванадесет хиляди стадия2220 км. Дължината, ширината и височината му са еднакви.17Измери и стената му, която излезе сто четиридесет и четири лакти; а това беше човешка мярка, която е ангелска.18Стената му беше изградена от яспис, а градът – от чисто злато, подобно на чисто стъкло.19Основните камъни на градската стена бяха украсени с всякакви скъпоценни камъни: първият основен камък беше яспис, вторият – сапфир, третият – халкидон, четвъртият – смарагд,20петият – сардоникс, шестият – сард, седмият – хрисолит, осмият – вирил, деветият – топаз, десетият – хрисопрас, единадесетият – яцинт, дванадесетият – аметист.21И дванадесетте порти бяха дванадесет бисера, всяка една порта беше от един бисер; и улицата на града беше от чисто злато, като прозрачно стъкло.22И не видях храм в него, защото неговият храм е Господ Бог Всемогъщ и Агнето.23И градът нямаше нужда от слънце, нито от луна, за да го осветява, защото Божията слава го осветляваше* и неговото светило е Агнето.24И народите ще ходят в неговата светлина и земните царе ще донасят в него своята слава.25Портите му няма да се затварят през деня, защото нощ няма да има там.26И ще донасят в него славата и почитта на нациите.27И в него няма да влезе нищо нечисто, нито онзи, който върши мерзост, или който лъже, а само тези, които са записани в книгата на живота на Агнето.
New International Reader’s Version
A new heaven and a new earth
1I saw ‘a new heaven and a new earth.’ The first heaven and the first earth were completely gone. There was no longer any sea.2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem. It was coming down out of heaven from God. It was prepared like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.3I heard a loud voice from the throne. It said, ‘Look! God now makes his home with the people. He will live with them. They will be his people. And God himself will be with them and be their God.4“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death.” And there will be no more sadness. There will be no more crying or pain. Things are no longer the way they used to be.’5He who was sitting on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’ Then he said, ‘Write this down. You can trust these words. They are true.’6He said to me, ‘It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water to anyone who is thirsty. The water will come from the spring of the water of life. It doesn’t cost anything!7Those who have victory will receive all this from me. I will be their God, and they will be my children.8But others will be thrown into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur. Those who are afraid and those who do not believe will be there. Murderers and those who make themselves impure will join them. Those who commit sexual sins and those who practise witchcraft will go there. Those who worship statues of gods and all who tell lies will be there too. The lake of fire is the second death.’
The new Jerusalem is the bride of the Lamb
9One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke to me. The bowls were filled with the seven last plagues. The angel said, ‘Come. I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.’10Then he carried me away in a vision. The Spirit took me to a huge, high mountain. He showed me Jerusalem, the Holy City. It was coming down out of heaven from God.11It shone with the glory of God. It gleamed like a very valuable jewel. It was like a jasper, as clear as crystal.12The city had a huge, high wall with 12 gates. Twelve angels were at the gates, one at each of them. On the gates were written the names of the 12 tribes of Israel.13There were three gates on the east and three on the north. There were three gates on the south and three on the west.14The wall of the city had 12 foundations. Written on them were the names of the 12 apostles of the Lamb.15The angel who talked with me had a gold measuring rod. He used it to measure the city, its gates and its walls.16The city was laid out like a square. It was as long as it was wide. The angel measured the city with the rod. It was 1,400 miles long. It was as wide and high as it was long.17The angel measured the wall as human beings measure things. It was 70 metres thick.18The wall was made out of jasper. The city was made out of pure gold, as pure as glass.19The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of jewel. The first foundation was made out of jasper. The second was made out of sapphire. The third was made out of agate. The fourth was made out of emerald.20The fifth was made out of onyx. The sixth was made out of ruby. The seventh was made out of chrysolite. The eighth was made out of beryl. The ninth was made out of topaz. The tenth was made out of turquoise. The eleventh was made out of jacinth. The twelfth was made out of amethyst.21The 12 gates were made from 12 pearls. Each gate was made out of a single pearl. The main street of the city was made out of gold. It was gold as pure as glass that people can see through clearly.22I didn’t see a temple in the city. That’s because the Lamb and the Lord God who rules over all are its temple.23The city does not need the sun or moon to shine on it. God’s glory is its light, and the Lamb is its lamp.24The nations will walk by the light of the city. The kings of the world will bring their glory into it.25Its gates will never be shut, because there will be no night there.26The glory and honour of the nations will be brought into it.27Only what is pure will enter the city. No one who causes people to believe lies will enter it. No one who does shameful things will enter it either. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life will enter the city.
