Apocalypsis Ioannis, 21

1. Et vidi caelum novum et ter ram novam; primum enim caelum et prima terra abierunt, et mare iam non est.

1. Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

2. Et civitatem sanctam Ierusalem novam vidi descendentem de caelo a Deo, paratam sicut sponsam ornatam viro suo.

2. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband;

3. Et audivi vocem magnam de throno dicentem: “Ecce tabernaculum Dei cum hominibus! Et habitabit cum eis, et ipsi populi eius erunt, et ipse Deus cum eis erit eorum Deus;

3. and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them;

4. et absterget omnem lacrimam ab oculis eorum, et mors ultra non erit, neque luctus neque clamor neque dolor erit ultra, quia prima abierunt”.

4. he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away."

5. Et dixit, qui sedebat super throno: “Ecce nova facio omnia”. Et dicit: “Scribe: Haec verba fidelia sunt et vera”.

5. And he who sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true."

6. Et dixit mihi: “Facta sunt! Ego sum Alpha et Omega, principium et finis. Ego sitienti dabo de fonte aquae vivae gratis.

6. And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the fountain of the water of life without payment.

7. Qui vicerit, hereditabit haec, et ero illi Deus, et ille erit mihi filius.

7. He who conquers shall have this heritage, and I will be his God and he shall be my son.

8. Timidis autem et incredulis et exsecratis et homicidis et fornicatoribus et veneficis et idololatris et omnibus mendacibus, pars illorum erit in stagno ardenti igne et sulphure, quod est mors secunda”.

8. But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death."

9. Et venit unus de septem angelis habentibus septem phialas plenas septem plagis novissimis et locutus est mecum dicens: “Veni, ostendam tibi sponsam uxorem Agni”.

9. Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke to me, saying, "Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb."

10. Et sustulit me in spiritu super montem magnum et altum et ostendit mihi civitatem sanctam Ierusalem descendentem de caelo a Deo,

10. And in the Spirit he carried me away to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,

11. habentem claritatem Dei; lumen eius simile lapidi pretiosissimo, tamquam lapidi iaspidi, in modum crystalli;

11. having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

12. et habebat murum magnum et altum et habebat portas duodecim et super portas angelos duodecim et nomina inscripta, quae sunt duodecim tribuum filiorum Israel.

12. It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed;

13. Ab oriente portae tres, et ab aquilone portae tres, et ab austro portae tres, et ab occasu portae tres;

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

14. et murus civitatis habens fundamenta duodecim, et super ipsis duodecim nomina duodecim apostolorum Agni.

14. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15. Et, qui loquebatur mecum, habebat mensuram arundinem auream, ut metiretur civitatem et portas eius et murum eius.

15. And he who talked to me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls.

16. Et civitas in quadro posita est, et longitudo eius tanta est quanta et latitudo. Et mensus est civitatem arundine per stadia duodecim milia; longitudo et latitudo et altitudo eius aequales sunt.

16. The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its breadth; and he measured the city with his rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and breadth and height are equal.

17. Et mensus est murum eius centum quadraginta quattuor cubitorum, mensura hominis, quae est angeli.

17. He also measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits by a man's measure, that is, an angel's.

18. Et erat structura muri eius ex iaspide, ipsa vero civitas aurum mundum simile vitro mundo.

18. The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, clear as glass.

19. Fundamenta muri civitatis omni lapide pretioso ornata: fundamentum primum iaspis, secundus sapphirus, tertius chalcedonius, quartus smaragdus,

19. The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every jewel; the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,

20. quintus sardonyx, sextus sardinus, septimus chrysolithus, octavus beryllus, nonus topazius, decimus chrysoprasus, undecimus hyacinthus, duodecimus amethystus.

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. Et duodecim portae duodecim margaritae sunt, et singulae portae erant ex singulis margaritis. Et platea civitatis aurum mundum tamquam vitrum perlucidum.

21. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.

22. Et templum non vidi in ea: Dominus enim, Deus omnipotens, templum illius est, et Agnus.

22. And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.

23. Et civitas non eget sole neque luna, ut luceant ei, nam claritas Dei illuminavit eam, et lucerna eius est Agnus.

23. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

24. Et ambulabunt gentes per lumen eius, et reges terrae afferunt gloriam suam in illam;

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

25. et portae eius non claudentur per diem, nox enim non erit illic;

25. and its gates shall never be shut by day -- and there shall be no night there;

26. et afferent gloriam et divitias gentium in illam.

26. they shall bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.

27. Nec intrabit in ea aliquid coinquinatum et faciens abominationem et mendacium, nisi qui scripti sunt in libro vitae Agni.

27. But nothing unclean shall enter it, nor any one who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
