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 ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ سَمَاءً جَدِيدَةً وَأَرْضاً جَدِيدَةً لَا بَحْرَ فِيهَا، لأَنَّ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ الْقَدِيمَتَيْنِ قَدْ زَالَتَا.

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 وَأَنَا رَأَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ، أُورُشَلِيمَ الْجَدِيدَةَ، نَازِلَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ، مُجَهَّزَةً كَأَنَّهَا عَرُوسٌ مُزَيَّنَةٌ لِعَرِيسِهَا.

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 وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً هَاتِفاً مِنَ الْعَرْشِ: «الآنَ صَارَ مَسْكَنُ اللهِ مَعَ النَّاسِ، هُوَ يَسْكُنُ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَهُمْ يَصِيرُونَ شَعْباً لَهُ. اللهُ نَفْسُهُ يَكُونُ مَعَهُمْ إِلهاً لَهُمْ!

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 وَسَيَمْسَحُ كُلَّ دَمْعَةٍ مِنْ عُيُونِهِمْ. إِذْ يَزُولُ الْمَوْتُ وَالْحُزْنُ وَالصُّرَاخُ وَالأَلَمُ، لأَنَّ الأُمُورَ الْقَدِيمَةَ كُلَّهَا قَدْ زَالَتْ!»

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 وَقَالَ الْجَالِسُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ: «سَأَصْنَعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ جَدِيداً». ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «اكْتُبْ هَذَا، فَإِنَّ مَا أَقُولُهُ هُوَ الصِّدْقُ وَالْحَقُّ».

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 ثُمَّ قَالَ: «قَدْ تَمَّ. أَنَا الأَلِفُ وَالْيَاءُ (الْبِدَايَةُ وَالنِّهَايَةُ). أَنَا أَسْقِي الْعَطْشَانَ مِنْ يَنْبُوعِ مَاءِ الْحَيَاةِ مَجَّاناً.

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

7 هَذَا كُلُّهُ نَصِيبُ الْمُنْتَصِرِ، وَأَكُونُ إِلَهاً لَهُ، وَهُوَ يَكُونُ ابْناً لِي.

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 أَمَّا الْجُبَنَاءُ وَغَيْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَالْفَاسِدُونَ وَالْقَاتِلُونَ وَالزُّنَاةُ، وَالْمُتَّصِلُونَ بِالشَّيَاطِينِ وَعَبَدَةُ الأَصْنَامِ وَجَمِيعُ الدَّجَّالِينَ، فَمَصِيرُهُمْ إِلَى الْبُحَيْرَةِ الْمُتَّقِدَةِ بِالنَّارِ وَالْكِبْرِيتِ، الَّذِي هُوَ الْمَوْتُ الثَّانِي».

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 وَجَاءَ أَحَدُ الْمَلائِكَةِ السَّبْعَةِ الَّذِينَ أَفْرَغُوا كُؤُوسَ بَلايَاهُمُ السَّبْعِ الأَخِيرَةِ، وَقَالَ لِي: «تَعَالَ فَأُرِيَكَ عَرُوسَ الْحَمَلِ».

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 وَأَخَذَنِي بِالرُّوحِ إِلَى قِمَّةِ جَبَلٍ ضَخْمٍ عَالٍ، وَأَرَانِي الْمَدِينَةَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ نَازِلَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ

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

11 وَلَهَا مَجْدُ اللهِ، وَهِيَ تَتَلأْلأُ كَالأَحْجَارِ الْكَرِيمَةِ، وَكَأَنَّهَا مِنْ حَجَرِ الْيَشْبِ الْبِلَّوْرِيِّ!

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 لَهَا سُورٌ ضَخْمٌ عَالٍ وَاثْنَا عَشَرَ بَاباً يَحْرُسُهَا اثْنَا عَشَرَ مَلاكاً، وَقَدْ كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْهَا أَسْمَاءُ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ؛

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

13 إِلَى الشَّرْقِ ثَلاثَةُ أَبْوَابٍ؛ وَإِلَى الشِّمَالِ ثَلاثَةُ أَبْوَابٍ، وَإِلَى الْجَنُوبِ ثَلاثَةُ أَبْوَابٍ؛ وَإِلَى الْغَرْبِ ثَلاثَةُ أَبْوَابٍ.

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

14 وَيَقُومُ سُورُ الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ دِعَامَةً كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْهَا أَسْمَاءُ رُسُلِ الْحَمَلِ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ.

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

15 وَكَانَ الْمَلاكُ الَّذِي يُكَلِّمُنِي يُمْسِكُ قَصَبَةً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ لِيَقِيسَ بِها الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَبْوَابَهَا وَسُورَهَا.

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 وَكَانَتْ أَرْضُ الْمَدِينَةِ مُرَبَّعَةً، طُولُهَا يُسَاوِي عَرْضَهَا، فَلَمَّا قَاسَهَا بِالْقَصَبَةِ تَبَيَّنَ أَنَّ ضِلْعَهَا يُسَاوِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفِ غَلْوَة (أَلْفَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعْمِئَةِ كِيلُومِتْرٍ)، وَهِيَ مُتَسَاوِيَةُ الطُّولِ وَالْعَرْضِ وَالارْتِفَاعِ.

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

17 ثُمَّ قَاسَ السُّورَ، فَتَبَيَّنَ أَنَّهُ يُسَاوِي مِئَةً وَأَرْبَعاً وَأَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعاً، وَكَانَ الْمَلاكُ يَسْتَعْمِلُ قِيَاساً يُعَادِلُ ذِرَاعَ إِنْسَانٍ.

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

18 كَانَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ مَبْنِيَّةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ شَفَّافٍ كَالزُّجَاجِ النَّقِيِّ. أَمَّا سُورُهَا فَمِنَ الْيَشْبِ،

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 وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ دِعَامَةً مُرَصَّعَةً بِالأَحْجَارِ الْكَرِيمَةِ: كَانَتِ الدِّعَامَةُ الأُولَى مِنَ الْيَشْبِ؛ وَالثَّانِيَةُ مِنَ الْيَاقُوتِ الأَزْرَقِ؛ وَالثَّالِثَةُ مِنَ الْعَقِيقِ الأَبْيَضِ؛ وَالرَّابِعَةُ مِنَ الزُّمُرُّدِ الذُّبَابِيِّ؛

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 وَالْخَامِسَةُ مِنَ الْجَزْعِ الْعَقِيقِيِّ؛ وَالسَّادِسَةُ مِنَ الْعَقِيقِ الأَحْمَرِ؛ وَالسَّابِعَةُ مِنَ الزَّبَرْجَدِ؛ وَالثَّامِنَةُ مِنَ الزُّمُرُّدِ السِّلْقِيِّ؛ وَالتَّاسِعَةُ مِنَ الْيَاقُوتِ الأَصْفَرِ، وَالْعَاشِرَةُ مِنَ الْعَقِيقِ الأَخْضَرِ؛ وَالْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنَ الأَسْمَانْجُونِيِّ؛ وَالثَّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنَ الْجَمَشْتِ.

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 أَمَّا الأَبْوَابُ الاثْنَا عَشَرَ فَهِيَ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ لُؤْلُؤَةً: كُلُّ بَابٍ لُؤْلُؤَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ. وَسَاحَةُ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ كَالزُّجَاجِ الشَّفَّافِ.

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

22 وَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ هَيْكَلاً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الإِلهَ الْقَادِرَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَالْحَمَلَ هُمَا هَيْكَلُهَا.

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 وَلَمْ تَكُنِ الْمَدِينَةُ فِي حَاجَةٍ إِلَى نُورِ الشَّمْسِ أَوِ الْقَمَرِ، لأَنَّ مَجْدَ اللهِ يُنِيرُهَا، وَالْحَمَلَ مِصْبَاحُهَا.

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

24 سَتَسِيرُ بِنُورِهَا الأُمَمُ، وَيَأْتِيهَا مُلُوكُ الأَرْضِ بِكُنُوزِهِمْ.

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

25 وَلا تُقْفَلُ أَبْوَابُهَا أَبَداً طُولَ النَّهَارِ، لأَنَّ اللَّيْلَ لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا!

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

26 وَسَتُحْمَلُ إِلَيْهَا كُنُوزُ الأُمَمِ وَأَمْجَادُهَا.

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 وَلَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا شَيْءٌ نَجِسٌ، وَلا الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الْقَبَائِحَ وَيُدَجِّلُونَ، بَلْ فَقَطِ الَّذِينَ كُتِبَتْ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ فِي سِجِلِّ الْحَيَاةِ لِلْحَمَلِ!
