Revelation 21
1 I saw the new heaven and the new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more.
Og jeg saa en ny Himmel og en ny Jord; thi den forrige Himmel og den forrige Jord var veget bort, og Havet var ikke mere.
2 And I, John, saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
Og jeg saa den hellige Stad, det nye Jerusalem, stige ned fra Himmelen fra Gud, beredet som en Brud, der er smykket for sin Brudgom.
3 And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: “Behold the tabernacle of God with men. And he will dwell with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be their God with them.
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.
4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no more. And neither mourning, nor crying out, nor grief shall be anymore. For the first things have passed away.”
Og han skal aftørre hver Taare 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.
5 And the One who was sitting upon the throne, said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And he said to me, “Write, for these words are entirely faithful and true.”
Og han, som sad paa Tronen, sagde: Se, jeg gør alle Ting nye. Og han siger til mig: Skriv; thi disse Ord ere troværdige og sande.
6 And he said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To those who thirst, I will give freely from the fountain of the water of life.
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.
7 Whoever prevails shall possess these things. And I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Den, som sejrer, skal arve dette, og jeg vil være hans Gud, og han skal være min Søn.
9 And one of the seven Angels, those holding the bowls filled with the seven last afflictions, approached and spoke with me, saying: “Come, and I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
Og en af de syv Engle, som havde de syv Skaaler, der vare fulde af de syv sidste Plager, kom og talte med mig og sagde: Kom, jeg vil vise dig Bruden, Lammets Hustru.
10 And he took me up in spirit to a great and high mountain. And he showed me the Holy City Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Og han førte mig i Aanden hen paa et stort og højt Bjerg og viste mig den hellige Stad, Jerusalem, stigende ned fra Himmelen fra Gud
11 having the glory of God. And its light was like that of a precious stone, even like that of the jasper stone or like crystal.
med Guds Herlighed. Dens Glans var som den kostbareste Sten, som krystalklar Jaspissten.
12 And it had a wall, great and high, having twelve gates. And at the gates were twelve Angels. And names were written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
Den havde en stor og høj Mur; den havde tolv Porte og over Portene tolv Engle og paaskrevne Navne, hvilke ere Israels Børns tolv Stammers;
13 On the East were three gates, and on the North were three gates, and on the South were three gates, and on the West were three gates.
mod Øst tre Porte og mod Nord tre Porte og mod Syd tre Porte og mod Vest tre Porte.
14 And the wall of the City had twelve foundations. And upon them were the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
Og Stadens Mur havde tolv Grundstene, og paa dem Lammets tolv Apostles tolv Navne.
15 And he who was speaking with me was holding a golden measuring reed, in order to measure the City, and its gates and wall.
Og han, som talte med mig, havde en Maalestok, et Guldrør, for at han skulde maale Staden og dens Porte og dens Mur.
16 And the city is laid out as a square, and so its length is as great as the width. And he measured the city with the golden reed for twelve thousand stadia, and its length and height and breadth were equal.
Og Staden ligger i Firkant, og dens Længde er lige saa stor som Bredden. Og han maalte Staden med Røret: Tolv Tusinde Stadier; dens Længde, Bredde og Højde ere lige.
17 And he measured its wall as one hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is of an Angel.
Og han maalte dens Mur, hundrede og fire og fyrretyve Alen, efter Menneskemaal, hvilket er Englemaal.
18 And the structure of its wall was of jasper stone. Yet truly, the city itself was of pure gold, similar to pure glass.
Og dens Murværk var Jaspis, og Staden var rent Guld, lig det rene Glar.
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was of jasper, the second was of sapphire, the third was of chalcedony, the fourth was of emerald,
Stadmurens Grundstene vare prydede med alle Haande Ædelstene: Den første Grundsten var Jaspis, den anden Safir, den tredje Kalkedon, den fjerde Smaragd,
20 the fifth was of sardonyx, the sixth was of sardius, the seventh was of chrysolite, the eighth was of beryl, the ninth was of topaz, the tenth was of chrysoprasus, the eleventh was of jacinth, the twelfth was of amethyst.
den femte Sardonyks, den sjette Sarder, den syvende Krysolit, den ottende Beryl, den niende Topas, den tiende Krysopras, den ellevte Hyacint, den tolvte Ametyst.
21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, one for each, so that each gate was made from a single pearl. And the main street of the city was of pure gold, similar to transparent glass.
Og de tolv Porte vare tolv Perler, hver af Portene var af een Perle, og Stadens Gade var rent Guld som gennemsigtigt Glar.
22 And I saw no temple in it. For the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
Og jeg saa intet Tempel i den; thi dens Tempel er Herren, Gud, den almægtige, og Lammet.
23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine in it. For the glory of God has illuminated it, and the Lamb is its lamp.
Og Staden trænger ikke til Sol eller Maane til at skinne for den; thi Guds Herlighed oplyste den, og Lammet var dens Lys.
24 And the nations shall walk by its light. And the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honor into it.
Og Folkeslagene skulle vandre i dens Lys, og Jordens Konger bringe deres Herlighed til den,
25 And its gates shall not be closed throughout the day, for there shall be no night in that place.
og dens Porte skulle ikke lukkes om Dagen; thi Nat skal ikke være der,
26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
og de skulle bringe Folkeslagenes Herlighed og Ære til den.
27 There shall not enter into it anything defiled, nor anything causing an abomination, nor anything false, but only those who have been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.
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.
