Revelation 21
1 Then [in the vision] I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and the oceans no longer existed.
Potem zobaczyłem nowe niebo i nową ziemię. Pierwsze niebo bowiem i pierwsza ziemia przeminęły i nie było już morza.
2 I saw [God’s] holy city, which is the new [city of] Jerusalem. It was coming down out of heaven from God. [The city] had been prepared [and decorated] {[God] had prepared [and decorated the city]} as [SIM] a bride is decorated {decorates herself} [beautifully in order to marry] her husband.
A ja, Jan, zobaczyłem święte miasto, nowe Jeruzalem, zstępujące z nieba od Boga, przygotowane jak oblubienica przyozdobiona dla swego męża.
3 I heard a loud voice that spoke from the throne [of God]. It said, “Listen to this! Now God will live with people. He will live [right in the midst of] them [DOU]! They will be his people. God himself will be with them, and he will be their God.
I usłyszałem donośny głos z nieba: Oto przybytek Boga [jest] z ludźmi i będzie mieszkał z nimi. Oni będą jego ludem, a sam Bóg będzie z nimi i [będzie] ich Bogiem.
4 [As a result], he will [cause them to no longer be sad. It will be as though he will] [MTY] wipe every tear from their eyes. [None of them] will ever again die or mourn or cry [DOU] or suffer pain, because the former things [that make us sad] will have disappeared.”
I otrze Bóg wszelką łzę z ich oczu, i śmierci już nie będzie ani smutku, ani krzyku, ani bólu nie będzie, bo pierwsze rzeczy przeminęły.
5 Then [God], who sits on the throne, said, “Listen to this! I am [now] making everything new!” He said [to me]: “Write these things [that I have told you], because you can trust [that I will certainly cause them to happen].”
A zasiadający na tronie powiedział: Oto wszystko czynię nowe. I powiedział do mnie: Napisz, bo te słowa są wiarygodne i prawdziwe.
6 He said to me, “I have finished [doing all the things I needed to do]. I am the one who began all things [MET] and the one who will cause all things to end [MET]. To everyone who is [spiritually] thirsty [MET], I will (freely give/give as a free gift) water from the spring [that causes people] to live [forever].
I powiedział do mnie: Stało się. Ja jestem Alfa i Omega, początek i koniec. Ja spragnionemu dam darmo ze źródła wody życia.
7 I will give this to every person who is victorious over [the evil powers] (OR, [over Satan]). I will be their God, and they will be my children.
Kto zwycięży, odziedziczy wszystko i będę dla niego Bogiem, a on będzie dla mnie synem.
8 But those who are cowardly, those who do not believe [in me], those [who do] detestable things, those who are murderers, those who sin sexually, those who commit sorcery, those who worship idols, and every liar, will [all suffer] in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. [Anyone who suffers in that lake] will be dying the second time.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
9 One of the seven angels who had one of the seven bowls that had been full of [the wine/liquid causing] [MTY] the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come [with me] and I will show you [the people who have permanently united with Christ, the one who is like a] lamb! They will be [like] [MET] a bride [for him].”
I przyszedł do mnie jeden z siedmiu aniołów, którzy mieli siedem czasz napełnionych siedmioma ostatecznymi plagami, i odezwał się do mnie, mówiąc: Chodź tutaj, pokażę ci oblubienicę, małżonkę Baranka.
10 Then, while [God’s] Spirit [controlled me], the angel took/carried me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed me [God’s] holy city, [the New] Jerusalem. It was coming down out of heaven from God.
I przeniósł mnie w duchu na górę wielką i wysoką, i pokazał mi wielkie miasto, święte Jeruzalem, zstępujące z nieba od Boga;
11 It was shining with his glory. The city was shining like a very precious jasper stone [shines, and] it was clear like crystal.
Mające chwałę Boga. Jego blask podobny [był] do drogocennego kamienia, jakby jaspisu, przezroczystego jak kryształ.
12 [Around the city] was a very high wall. The wall had twelve gates. An angel was at each gate. The names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written {[God] had written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel} over the gates. [Each gate had the name of one tribe].
Miało ono wielki i wysoki mur, miało dwanaście bram, a na bramach dwunastu aniołów i wypisane imiona, które są [imionami] dwunastu pokoleń synów Izraela.
13 Three gates were on the east [side], three gates were on the north [side], three gates were on the south [side], and three gates were on the west [side].
Od wschodu trzy bramy, od północy trzy bramy, od południa trzy bramy i od zachodu trzy bramy.
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundation [stones]. On each foundation [stone was] the name of one of the twelve apostles of [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb.
A mur miasta miał dwanaście fundamentów, a na nich dwanaście imion dwunastu apostołów Baranka.
15 The angel who was speaking to me carried a golden measuring rod, in order to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
A ten, który rozmawiał ze mną, miał złotą trzcinę, aby zmierzyć miasto, jego bramy i jego mur.
16 The city was square [in shape]; it was as long as it was wide. After the angel measured the city with his rod, [he reported that it was] (1,500 miles/2,400 kilometers) long, and that its height was the same as [its length and width].
Miasto ma kształt czworoboku, a jego długość jest taka sama jak i szerokość. I wymierzył miasto trzciną na dwanaście tysięcy stadiów. Jego długość, szerokość i wysokość są równe.
17 He measured its wall [and reported that it was] ([216 ft./70 meters]) [thick] (OR, [high]). The angel used the measure that people [normally use].
I wymierzył jego mur na sto czterdzieści cztery łokcie [według] miary człowieka, która jest [miarą] anioła.
18 The [city] wall was made of [something like the green stone that we call] jasper. The city [itself] was [made of something like] pure gold [that looked] like clear glass.
Jego mur jest zbudowany z jaspisu, miasto zaś ze szczerego złota podobnego do czystego szkła.
19 The foundations of the wall of the city were beautifully made with [wonderful stones that are like] precious stones [on earth]. The first foundation [stone was a crystalline stone like] jasper, the second [foundation stone was a blue stone like] sapphire, the third [foundation stone was a green stone like] agate, the fourth [foundation stone was a green stone like] emerald,
Fundamenty muru miasta ozdobione [były] wszelkimi drogimi kamieniami. Pierwszy fundament to jaspis, drugi – szafir, trzeci – chalcedon, czwarty – szmaragd;
20 the fifth [foundation stone was a brown and white layered stone like] sardonyx, the sixth [foundation stone was a red stone like] carnelian, the seventh [foundation stone was a yellow stone like] chrysolite, the eighth [foundation stone was a green stone like] beryl, the ninth [foundation stone was a yellow stone like] topaz, the tenth [foundation stone was a green stone like] chrysoprase, the eleventh [foundation stone was a blue stone like] hyacinth, and the twelfth [foundation stone was a purple stone like] amethyst.
Piąty – sardoniks, szósty – karneol, siódmy – chryzolit, ósmy – beryl, dziewiąty – topaz, dziesiąty – chryzopraz, jedenasty – hiacynt, dwunasty – ametyst.
21 The twelve gates [of the city] were [something like huge] pearls. Each gate was like [it was] a single pearl. The [ground of] the main plaza of the city (OR, The streets of the city) [appeared to be] pure gold [that looked] like clear glass.
A dwanaście bram [to] dwanaście pereł. Każda brama była z jednej perły. A rynek miasta to szczere złoto, jak przezroczyste szkło.
22 There was no temple in the city. The Lord God Almighty [himself], and the [one who is like a] lamb, are [there, so there was no need for] [MET] a temple.
Lecz świątyni w nim nie widziałem, bo jego świątynią jest Pan Bóg Wszechmogący oraz Baranek.
23 The city will not need the sun or the moon to light the city, because the glory of God will illuminate the city, and [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, will also be its light.
A miasto nie potrzebuje słońca ani księżyca, aby świeciły w nim, bo oświetla je chwała Boga, a jego lampą jest Baranek.
24 The people of [MTY] the nations will live with the light of the city [shining upon them]. And the kings of the earth will bring their wealth into the city [to honor God and the one who is like a lamb].
Narody, które będą zbawione, będą chodziły w jego świetle, a królowie ziemi wniosą do niego swoją chwałę i cześć.
25 The gates of the city will not be shut {No one will shut the gates of the city} [at the end of each day as they usually are shut], because there will be no night there.
W dzień jego bramy nie będą zamknięte, bo nocy tam nie będzie.
26 The [people of the] world will also bring their wealth into the city to honor [God and the one who is like a lamb].
I wniosą do niego chwałę i cześć narodów.
27 No one who is morally impure, no one who does things [that God considers] detestable, and no one who tells lies, will ever enter that city. Only those people whose names are written in the book of the [one who is like a] lamb {whose [names] the [one who is like a] lamb has written in his book}, [the names] of people who have [eternal] life, will be there.
I nie wejdzie do niego nic nieczystego ani ten, kto popełnia obrzydliwość i kłamstwo, tylko ci, którzy są zapisani w księdze życia Baranka.
