21:1 The new sky and the new earth

21Then I saw a new sky and a new earth, because the first sky and the first earth had gone away, and there weren’t any more oceans.[ref] 2Then I saw the chosen city—the new Jerusalem—coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride all dressed up for her husband,[ref] 3and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Listen, God will now live here with the people—he’ll live with them and they’ll be his people, and God himself will be with them.[ref] 4He’ll wipe all their tears away from their eyes, and there won’t be any more death or grieving, or crying or pain. They won’t even exist any longer—the original world is gone.”[ref]

5Then the one sitting on the throne said, “Listen, I’m remaking everything.” And he told me, “Write that down because these words are trustworthy and true.” 6And he told me, “Everything’s done. I’m the A and the Z—the beginning and the end. I’ll freely give from the spring of the water of life to anyone who’s thirsty.[ref] 7All of those who conquer will inherit those things, and I will be their God and they will be my children.[ref] 8But as for the cowardly and the unbelieving, the abhorred and murderers, fornicators and sorcerers, and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake burning with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

21And I_saw a_heaven new and an_earth new, because/for the the_first heaven and the first earth went_away, and the sea not is anymore.
2And the city the holy, Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim) the_new, I_saw coming_down out_of the heaven from the god, having_been_prepared as a_bride, having_been_adorned for_the husband of_her.
3And I_heard of_a_voice great out_of the throne saying:
Behold, the tent of_ the _god is with the humans, and he_will_be_sheltering with them, and they the_peoples of_him will_be, and himself the god will_be with them,
4and he_will_be_wiping_out every tear from the eyes of_them, and the death not will_be anymore, neither mourning, nor clamour, nor misery, not will_be anymore.
The first things went_away.
5And said the one sitting on the throne:
Behold, new I_am_making all things.
And he_is_saying to_me:
Write, because these the messages faithful and true are.
6And he_said to_me:
They_have_become.
I am the first_letter and the last_letter, the beginning and the end.
I to_the one thirsting will_be_giving of the spring of_the water of_ the _life undeservedly.
7The one overcoming will_be_inheriting these things, and I_will_be to_him god, and he will_be to_me a_son.
8But to_the fearful, and unbelieving, and having_been_detested, and murderers, and the_sexually_immoral, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, the portion of_them is in the lake which being_burned with_fire and sulfur, which is the death the second.

21:9 The new Yerushalem

9Then one of the seven messengers holding the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I’ll show you the bride—the lamb’s wife.” 10Then in the spirit, he carried me away to a very large, high mountain and he showed me the HOLY city, Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,[ref] 11shining like God’s splendourits brilliance being like a very precious stone—like a jasper stone shining like crystal. 12The city had wall that was both wide and high, with twelve gates and twelve messengers at the gates. The gates had the names of the twelve tribes (from Israel’s twelve sons) written on them.[ref] 13There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west. 14The city wall had twelve foundation stones, and they had the names of the lamb’s twelve missionaries written on them.

15The messenger speaking to me had a golden measuring rod so that he could measure the city and its gates and wall.[ref] 16The city was laid out square with the length equalling the width. Using the rod, the messenger measured the city at 2.2km on each edge, with the length, width, and height all being equal. 17He also measured the wall to be 70m using normal measurements.[fn] 18The wall was made of green jasper stone and the city itself was pure gold but as clear as glass.[ref] 19The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with many different kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21The twelve gates were twelve pearls—each one of the gates individually was from one pearl—and the city street was pure goldtransparent like glass.

22I didn’t see any temple in the city because the master, the all-powerful God, and the lamb are its temple. 23The city doesn’t need the sun or moon to illuminate it because God’s radiance illuminates it, and its lamp is the lamb.[ref] 24The nations will be able to walk around from its light, and the kings on the earth will bring their best into the city.[ref] 25It’ll never get dark there, so the city gates will never need to be closed[ref] 26and they will bring the prestige and the honour of the nations into it. 27However, nothing that’s ‘unclean’ will ever enter the city, and nor will those with shameful or dishonest behaviour—only those whose names have been written in the lamb’s book of life.[ref]


21:17 It’s not stated if that’s the height or the thickness of the city wall.


9And came one of the seven messengers, which having the seven bowls, which being_full of_the seven plagues the last, and he_spoke with me saying:
Come, I_will_be_showing to_you the bride, the wife of_the lamb.
10And he_carried_away me in the_spirit to a_mountain great and high, and he_showed to_me the city the holy Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim), coming_down out_of the heaven from the god, 11having the glory of of_ the _god.
The radiance of_it similar to_a_stone most_precious, as to_a_stone jasper crystalizing,
12having a_wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names having_been_inscribed, which is of_the twelve tribes of_the_sons of_Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl).
13From the_east three gates, and from the_north three gates, and from west three gates, and from the_south three gates.
14And the wall of_the city having twelve foundations, and in them the_twelve twelve names of_the ambassadors of_the lamb.
15And the one speaking with me was_having a_measure reed golden, in_order_that he_may_measure the city, and the gates of_it, and the wall of_it.
16And the city four_cornered is_lying, and the length of_it as_much_as the breadth.
And he_measured the city with_the reed at twelve stadiums thousands, the length, and the breadth, and the height of_it, equal is.
17And he_measured the wall of_it, of_a_hundred forty four cubits, a_measure of_human_origin that is also of_the_messenger.
18And was the structure of_the wall of_it was jasper, and the city was gold pure, similar to_glass clean.
19the foundations of_the wall of_the city with_every stone precious having_been_adorned.
The foundation the first 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 chrysoprase, the eleventh hyacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
21And the twelve twelve gates were pearls, each one each of_the gates was of one pearl.
And the road of_the city was gold pure as glass transparent.
22And a_temple not I_saw in it, because/for the master the god the almighty the_temple of_it is, and the lamb.
23And the city neither need is_having of_the sun nor of_the moon that they_may_be_shining in_it, because/for the glory of_ the _god enlightened it, and the lamp of_it is the lamb.
24And will_be_walking the nations by the light of_it, and the kings of_the earth are_bringing the glory of_them into it.
25And the gates of_it by_no_means not may_be_shut by_day, because/for night not will_be there.
26And they_will_be_bringing the glory and the honour of_the nations into it.
27And by_no_means not may_come_in into it any unclean thing, and the one practicing abomination and a_falsehood, except not/lest the ones having_been_written in the scroll of_ the _life of_the lamb.
