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 我又看見一個新天新地；因為先前的天地已經過去了，海也不再有了。

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 我又看見聖城新耶路撒冷由上帝那裏從天而降，預備好了，就如新婦妝飾整齊，等候丈夫。

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 我聽見有大聲音從寶座出來說：「看哪，上帝的帳幕在人間。他要與人同住，他們要作他的子民。上帝要親自與他們同在，作他們的上帝。

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 上帝要擦去他們一切的眼淚；不再有死亡，也不再有悲哀、哭號、疼痛，因為以前的事都過去了。」

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 坐寶座的說：「看哪，我將一切都更新了！」又說：「你要寫上；因這些話是可信的，是真實的。」

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 他又對我說：「都成了！我是阿拉法，我是俄梅戛；我是初，我是終。我要將生命泉的水白白賜給那口渴的人喝。

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

7 得勝的，必承受這些為業：我要作他的上帝，他要作我的兒子。

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 惟有膽怯的、不信的、可憎的、殺人的、淫亂的、行邪術的、拜偶像的，和一切說謊話的，他們的分就在燒着硫磺的火湖裏；這是第二次的死。」

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 拿着七個金碗、盛滿末後七災的七位天使中，有一位來對我說：「你到這裏來，我要將新婦，就是羔羊的妻，指給你看。」

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 我被聖靈感動，天使就帶我到一座高大的山，將那由上帝那裏、從天而降的聖城耶路撒冷指示我。

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

11 城中有上帝的榮耀；城的光輝如同極貴的寶石，好像碧玉，明如水晶。

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 有高大的牆，有十二個門，門上有十二位天使，門上又寫着以色列十二個支派的名字。

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

13 東邊有三門，北邊有三門，南邊有三門，西邊有三門。

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

14 城牆有十二根基，根基上有羔羊十二使徒的名字。

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

15 對我說話的，拿着金葦子當尺，要量那城和城門城牆。

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 城是四方的，長寬一樣。天使用葦子量那城，共有四千里，長、寬、高都是一樣；

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

17 又量了城牆，按着人的尺寸，就是天使的尺寸，共有一百四十四肘。

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

18 牆是碧玉造的；城是精金的，如同明淨的玻璃。

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 城牆的根基是用各樣寶石修飾的：第一根基是碧玉；第二是藍寶石；第三是綠瑪瑙；第四是綠寶石；

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 第五是紅瑪瑙；第六是紅寶石；第七是黃璧璽；第八是水蒼玉；第九是紅璧璽；第十是翡翠；第十一是紫瑪瑙；第十二是紫晶。

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 十二個門是十二顆珍珠，每門是一顆珍珠。城內的街道是精金，好像明透的玻璃。

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

22 我未見城內有殿，因主上帝－全能者和羔羊為城的殿。

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 那城內又不用日月光照；因有上帝的榮耀光照，又有羔羊為城的燈。

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

24 列國要在城的光裏行走；地上的君王必將自己的榮耀歸與那城。

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

25 城門白晝總不關閉，在那裏原沒有黑夜。

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

26 人必將列國的榮耀、尊貴歸與那城。

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 凡不潔淨的，並那行可憎與虛謊之事的，總不得進那城；只有名字寫在羔羊生命冊上的才得進去。
