The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 et ostendit mihi fluvium aquae vitae splendidum tamquam cristallum procedentem de sede Dei et agni
1
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 in medio plateae eius et ex utraque parte fluminis lignum vitae adferens fructus duodecim per menses singula reddentia fructum suum et folia ligni ad sanitatem gentium
2
In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 et omne maledictum non erit amplius et sedes Dei et agni in illa erunt et servi eius servient illi
3
And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.

They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.
5 et nox ultra non erit et non egebunt lumine lucernae neque lumine solis quoniam Dominus Deus inluminat illos et regnabunt in saecula saeculorum

There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
