Aabenbaringen 21
1 Og jeg så en ny Himmel og en ny Jord; thi den forrige Himmel og den forrige Jord var veget bort, og Havet var ikke mere.
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 Og jeg så den hellige Stad, det nye Jerusalem, stige ned fra Himmelen fra Gud, beredt som en Brud, der er smykket før sin Brudgom.
I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, that came down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Og jeg hørte en høj Røst fra Himmelen, som sagde: Se, Guds Telt er hos Menneskene, og han skal bo hos dem, og de skulle være hans Folk, og Gud selv skal være hos dem og være deres Gud.
I heard a great voice from the throne saying, “Look! The dwelling place of God is with human beings, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and he will be their God.
4 Og han skal aftørre hver Tåre af deres Øjne, og Døden skal ikke være mere, ej heller Sorg, ej heller Skrig, ej heller Pine skal være mere; thi det forrige er veget bort.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, or grieving, or crying, or pain. The former things have passed away.
5 Og han, som sad på Tronen, sagde: Se, jeg gør alle Ting nye. Og han siger til mig: Skriv; thi disse Ord ere troværdige og sande.
The one who was seated on the throne said, “Look! I make all things new.” He said, “Write this down because these words are trustworthy and true.”
6 Og han sagde til mig: De ere skete. Jeg er Alfa og Omega, Begyndelsen og Enden. Jeg vil give den tørstige af Livets Vands Kilde uforskyldt.
He said to me, “These things are done! I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. To the one who thirsts I will give drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.
7 Den, som sejrer, skal arve dette, og jeg vil være hans God, og han skal være min Søn.
The one who conquers will inherit these things, and I will be his God, and he will be my son.
9 Og en af de syv Engle, som havde de syv Skåle, der vare fulde af de syv sidste Plager, kom og talte med mig og sagde: Kom, jeg vil vise dig Bruden, Lammets Hustru.
One of the seven angels came to me, the one who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and he said, “Come here. I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10 Og han førte mig i Ånden hen på et stort og højt Bjerg og viste mig den hellige Stad, Jerusalem, stigende ned fra Himmelen, fra Gud
Then he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God.
11 med Guds Herlighed. Dens Glans var som den kostbareste Sten, som krystalklar Jaspissten.
Jerusalem had the glory of God, and its brilliance was like a very precious jewel, like a stone of crystal-clear jasper.
12 Den havde en stor og høj Mur; den havde tolv Porte og over Portene tolv Engle og påskrevne Navne, hvilke ere Israels Børns tolv Stammers;
It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
13 mod Øst tre Porte og mod Nord tre Porte og mod Syd tre Porte og mod Vest tre Porte.
On the east were three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
14 Og Stadens Mur havde tolv Grundsten, og på dem Lammets tolv Apostles tolv Navne.
The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Og han, som talte med mig, havde en Målestok, et Guldrør, for at han skulde måle Staden og dens Porte og dens Mur.
The one who spoke with me had a measuring rod made of gold to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
16 Og Staden ligger i Firkant, og dens Længde er lige så stor som Bredden. Og han målte Staden med Røret: tolv Tusinde Stadier; dens Længde, Bredde og Højde ere lige.
The city was laid out in a square; its length was the same as its width. He measured the city with the measuring rod, twelve thousand stadia in length (its length, width, and height were the same).
17 Og han målte dens Mur, hundrede og fire og fyrretyve Alen, efter Menneskemål, hvilket er Englemål.
He also measured its wall, 144 cubits thick by human measurement (which is also the angel's measure).
18 Og dens Murværk var Jaspis, og Staden var af rent Guld, lig det rene Glar.
The wall was built of jasper and the city of pure gold, like clear glass.
19 Stadmurens Grundsten vare prydede med alle Hånde Ædelsten: den første Grundsten var Jaspis, den anden Safir, den tredje Kalkedon, den fjerde Smaragd,
The foundations of the wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first was jasper, the second was sapphire, the third was agate, the fourth was emerald,
20 den femte Sardonyks, den sjette Sarder, den syvende Krysolit, den ottende Beryl, den niende Topas, den tiende Krysopras, den ellevte Hyacint, den tolvte Ametyst.
the fifth was onyx, the sixth was carnelian, the seventh was chrysolite, the eighth was beryl, the ninth was topaz, the tenth was chrysoprase, the eleventh was jacinth, and the twelfth was amethyst.
21 Og de tolv Porte vare tolv Perler, hver af Portene var af een Perle, og Stadens Gade var rent Guld som gennemsigtigt Glar.
The twelve gates were twelve pearls; each of the gates was made from a single pearl. The streets of the city were pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 Og jeg så intet Tempel i den; thi dens Tempel er Herren, Gud, den almægtige, og Lammet.
I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 Og Staden trænger ikke til Sol eller Måne til at skinne for den; thi Guds Herlighed oplyste den, og Lammet var dens Lys.
The city had no need of the sun or the moon in order to shine on it because the glory of God shone on it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
24 Og Folkeslagene skulle vandre i dens Lys, og Jordens Konger bringe deres Herlighed til den,
The nations will walk by the light of that city. The kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.
25 og dens Porte skulle ikke lukkes om Dagen; thi Nat skal ikke være der,
Its gates will not be shut during the day, and there will be no night there.
26 og de skulle bringe Folkeslagenes Herlighed og Ære til den.
They will bring the splendor and the honor of the nations into it,
27 Og intet urent skal komme ind i den, ej heller nogen, som øver Vederstyggelighed og Løgn; kun de, som ere skrevne i Lammets Livets Bog.
but nothing unclean will ever enter into it, nor anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
