Revelation 21

The Message Bible MSG

1 I saw Heaven and earth new-created. Gone the first Heaven, gone the first earth, gone the sea.

2 I saw Holy Jerusalem, new-created, descending resplendent out of Heaven, as ready for God as a bride for her husband.

3 I heard a voice thunder from the Throne: "Look! Look! God has moved into the neighborhood, making his home with men and women! They're his people, he's their God.

4 He'll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good - tears gone, crying gone, pain gone - all the first order of things gone."

5 The Enthroned continued, "Look! I'm making everything new. Write it all down - each word dependable and accurate."

6 Then he said, "It's happened. I'm A to Z. I'm the Beginning, I'm the Conclusion. From Water-of-Life Well I give freely to the thirsty.

7 Conquerors inherit all this. I'll be God to them, they'll be sons and daughters to me.

8 But for the rest - the feckless and faithless, degenerates and murderers, sex peddlers and sorcerers, idolaters and all liars - for them it's Lake Fire and Brimstone. Second death!"

9 One of the Seven Angels who had carried the bowls filled with the seven final disasters spoke to me: "Come here. I'll show you the Bride, the Wife of the Lamb."

10 He took me away in the Spirit to an enormous, high mountain and showed me Holy Jerusalem descending out of Heaven from God,

11 resplendent in the bright glory of God.

12 She had a wall majestic and high with twelve gates. At each gate stood an Angel, and on the gates were inscribed the names of the Twelve Tribes of the sons of Israel:

13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, three gates on the west.

14 The wall was set on twelve foundations, the names of the Twelve Apostles of the Lamb inscribed on them.

15 The Angel speaking with me had a gold measuring stick to measure the City, its gates, and its wall.

16 The City was laid out in a perfect square. He measured the City with the measuring stick: twelve thousand stadia, its length, width, and height all equal.

17 Using the standard measure, the Angel measured the thickness of its wall: 144 cubits.

18 The wall was jasper, the color of Glory, and the City was pure gold, translucent as glass.

19 The foundations of the City walls were garnished with every precious gem imaginable: the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,

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

21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate a single pearl.

22 But there was no sign of a Temple, for the Lord God - the Sovereign-Strong - and the Lamb are the Temple.

23 The City doesn't need sun or moon for light. God's Glory is its light, the Lamb its lamp!

24 The nations will walk in its light and earth's kings bring in their splendor.

25 Its gates will never be shut by day, and there won't be any night.

26 They'll bring the glory and honor of the nations into the City.

27 Nothing dirty or defiled will get into the City, and no one who defiles or deceives. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life will get in.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et vidi caelum novum et terram novam primum enim caelum et prima terra abiit et mare iam non est

2 et civitatem sanctam Hierusalem novam vidi descendentem de caelo a Deo paratam sicut sponsam ornatam viro suo

3 et audivi vocem magnam de throno dicentem ecce tabernaculum Dei cum hominibus et habitabit cum eis et ipsi populus eius erunt et ipse Deus cum eis erit eorum Deus

4 et absterget Deus omnem lacrimam ab oculis eorum et mors ultra non erit neque luctus neque clamor neque dolor erit ultra quae prima abierunt

5 et dixit qui sedebat in throno ecce nova facio omnia et dicit scribe quia haec verba fidelissima sunt et vera

6 et dixit mihi factum est ego sum Alpha et Omega initium et finis ego sitienti dabo de fonte aquae vivae gratis

7 qui vicerit possidebit haec et ero illi Deus et ille erit mihi filius

8 timidis autem et incredulis et execratis et homicidis et fornicatoribus et veneficis et idolatris et omnibus mendacibus pars illorum erit in stagno ardenti igne et sulphure quod est mors secunda

9 et venit unus de septem angelis habentibus fialas plenas septem plagis novissimis et locutus est mecum dicens veni ostendam tibi sponsam uxorem agni

10 et sustulit me in spiritu in montem magnum et altum et ostendit mihi civitatem sanctam Hierusalem descendentem de caelo a Deo

11 habentem claritatem Dei lumen eius simile lapidi pretioso tamquam lapidi iaspidis sicut cristallum

12 et habebat murum magnum et altum habens portas duodecim et in portis angelos duodecim et nomina inscripta quae sunt nomina duodecim tribuum filiorum Israhel

13 ab oriente portae tres et ab aquilone portae tres et ab austro portae tres et ab occasu portae tres

14 et murus civitatis habens fundamenta duodecim et in ipsis duodecim nomina duodecim apostolorum agni

15 et qui loquebatur mecum habebat mensuram harundinem auream ut metiretur civitatem et portas eius et murum

16 et civitas in quadro posita est et longitudo eius tanta est quanta et latitudo et mensus est civitatem de harundine per stadia duodecim milia longitudo et latitudo et altitudo eius aequalia sunt

17 et mensus est murus eius centum quadraginta quattuor cubitorum mensura hominis quae est angeli

18 et erat structura muri eius ex lapide iaspide ipsa vero civitas auro mundo simile vitro mundo

19 fundamenta muri civitatis omni lapide pretioso ornata fundamentum primum iaspis secundus sapphyrus tertius carcedonius quartus zmaragdus

20 quintus sardonix sextus sardinus septimus chrysolitus octavus berillus nonus topazius decimus chrysoprassus undecimus hyacinthus duodecimus amethistus

21 et duodecim portae duodecim margaritae sunt per singulas et singulae portae erant ex singulis margaritis et platea civitatis aurum mundum tamquam vitrum perlucidum

22 et templum non vidi in ea Dominus enim Deus omnipotens templum illius est et agnus

23 et civitas non eget sole neque luna ut luceant in ea nam claritas Dei inluminavit eam et lucerna eius est agnus

24 et ambulabunt gentes per lumen eius et reges terrae adferent gloriam suam et honorem in illam

25 et portae eius non cludentur per diem nox enim non erit illic

26 et adferent gloriam et honorem gentium in illam

27 nec intrabit in ea aliquid coinquinatum et faciens abominationem et mendacium nisi qui scripti sunt in libro vitae agni
