Revelation 21

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

1 接着我看见一个新天新地， 因为以前的天地都消逝了，海洋也不复存在了。

2 I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

2 我又看见圣城新耶路撒冷从天上的上帝那里降下，预备好了，像妆饰整齐等候新郎的新娘。

3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God.

3 我听见从宝座中传来响亮的声音说：“看啊！上帝的居所设立在人间，祂要与人同住。他们要成为祂的子民，上帝要亲自与他们同在，做他们的上帝。

4 ‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”

4 上帝要擦干他们所有的眼泪，再没有死亡、忧伤、哭泣和痛苦，因为以前的事都已成过去。”

5 And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.”

5 坐在宝座上的那位说：“看啊！我已经将一切都更新了。你要将这一切记录下来，因为这些话真实可信。”

6 And He told me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give freely from the spring of the water of life.

6 祂又对我说：“一切都成了！我是阿拉法，我是俄梅加；我是开始，我是终结。我要将生命泉的水白白赐给口渴的人。

7 The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.

7 得胜者必承受这一切福分，我要做他的上帝，他要做我的儿子。

8 But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

8 至于那些胆怯的、不信的、行为可憎的、杀人的、淫乱的、行邪术的、拜偶像的和所有说谎的，他们的结局是被扔进硫磺火湖里，这就是第二次的死。”

9 Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

9 七位天使手里拿着盛满最后七灾的七个碗，其中有一位来对我说：“你来，我要将新娘，就是羔羊的妻子指给你看。”

10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,

10 我被圣灵感动，天使带着我到一座高大的山上，将从天上的上帝那里降下的圣城耶路撒冷指给我看。

11 shining with the glory of God. Its radiance was like a most precious jewel, like a jasper, as clear as crystal.

11 城中充满上帝的荣光，璀璨如贵重的宝石，晶莹如碧玉。

12 The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve angels at the gates.

12–13 城墙高大，有十二个城门，东、北、南、西每面三个门，每个城门都有一位天使把守，门上写着以色列十二支派的名字。

13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.

14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations bearing the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

14 城墙共有十二块基石，基石上有羔羊的十二位使徒的名字。

15 The angel who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls.

15 那和我说话的天使拿了一根金量杆要丈量圣城、城墙和城门。

16 The city lies foursquare, with its width the same as its length. And he measured the city with the rod, and all its dimensions were equal—12,000 stadia in length and width and height.

16 圣城是正方形的，长宽相等。天使用量杆丈量那城，长、宽、高都是两千二百公里 。

17 And he measured its wall to be 144 cubits, by the human measure the angel was using.

17 他又丈量了城墙，按人的尺寸，也是天使的尺寸来算，是六十五米 厚。

18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city itself of pure gold, as pure as glass.

18 城墙是用碧玉砌成的，城本身是用纯金造的，跟玻璃一样明净。

19 The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone: The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

19 城墙的基石用各种宝石装饰：第一块基石是碧玉，第二块是蓝宝石，第三块是绿玛瑙，第四块是绿宝石，

20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

20 第五块是红玛瑙，第六块是红宝石，第七块是橄榄石，第八块是水苍玉，第九块是黄宝石，第十块是翡翠，第十一块是紫玛瑙，第十二块是紫晶。

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, with each gate consisting of a single pearl. The main street of the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.

21 十二个城门是用十二颗珍珠造的，每一个城门都是一颗珍珠，城中的街道是纯金的，好像透明的玻璃一样。

22 But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

22 我看见城中没有圣殿，因为全能的主上帝和羔羊就是圣城的殿。

23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp.

23 圣城里不需要太阳和月亮的光照耀，因为有上帝的荣光照耀，羔羊就是圣城的灯。

24 By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory.

24 万民要在圣城的光中行走，地上的君王也要将他们的荣耀带进圣城。

25 Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there.

25 城门整天都开着，那里没有黑夜。

26 And into the city will be brought the glory and honor of the nations.

26 人们将列国的荣耀和尊贵带进圣城。

27 But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

27 所有污秽的、做可憎之事的、撒谎的都不得进入圣城。唯有名字记录在羔羊的生命册上的人才有资格进去。
