Revelation 22

1 And hee shewed me a pure riuer of water of life, cleare as crystall, proceeding out of the throne of God, and of the Lambe.

Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

2 In the middes of the street of it, and of either side of ye riuer, was the tree of life, which bare twelue maner of fruits, and gaue fruit euery moneth: and the leaues of the tree serued to heale the nations with.

down the middle of the main street of the city. On either side of the river stood a tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit and yielding a fresh crop for each month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

3 And there shalbe no more curse, but ye throne of God and of the Lambe shall be in it, and his seruants shall serue him.

No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be within the city, and His servants will worship Him.

4 And they shall see his face, and his Name shalbe in their foreheads.

They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.

5 And there shalbe no night there, and they neede no candle, neither light of the sunne: for the Lord God giueth them light, and they shall reigne for euermore. (aiōn g165)

There will be no more night in the city, and they will have no need for the light of a lamp or of the sun. For the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign forever and ever. (aiōn g165)

6 And he said vnto me, These wordes are faithfull and true: and the Lord God of the holy Prophets sent his Angell to shewe vnto his seruants the things which must shortly be fulfilled.

Then the angel said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His angel to show His servants what must soon take place.”

7 Beholde, I come shortly. Blessed is hee that keepeth the woordes of the prophecie of this booke.

“Behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of prophecy in this book.”

8 And I am Iohn, which sawe and heard these thinges: and when I had heard and seene, I fell downe to worship before the feete of the Angell which shewed me these things.

And I am John, who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown me these things.

9 But he sayde vnto me, See thou doe it not: for I am thy fellowe seruaunt, and of thy brethren the Prophets, and of them which keepe the woordes of this booke: worship God.

But he said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”

10 And he said vnto me, Seale not the wordes of the prophecie of this booke: for the time is at hand.

Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of prophecy in this book, because the time is near.

11 He that is vniust, let him be vniust stil and he which is filthie, let him be filthie still: and hee that is righteous, let him be righteous stil: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Let the unrighteous continue to be unrighteous, and the vile continue to be vile; let the righteous continue to practice righteousness, and the holy continue to be holy.”

12 And beholde, I come shortly, and my reward is with mee, to giue euery man according as his worke shall be.

“Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”

14 Blessed are they, that doe his commandements, that their right may be in the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the Citie.

Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates.

15 For without shall be dogs and inchanters, and whoremongers, and murtherers, and idolaters, and whosoeuer loueth or maketh lies.

But outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16 I Iesus haue sent mine Angell, to testifie vnto you these things in the Churches: I am the root and the generation of Dauid, and the bright morning starre.

“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.”

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth, say, Come: and let him that is a thirst, come: and let whosoeuer will, take of the water of life freely.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let the one who hears say, “Come!” And let the one who is thirsty come, and the one who desires the water of life drink freely.

18 For I protest vnto euery man that heareth the words of the prophecie of this booke, If any man shall adde vnto these things, God shall adde vnto him the plagues, that are written in this booke:

I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.

19 And if any man shall diminish of the wordes of the booke of this prophecie, God shall take away his part out of the Booke of life, and out of the holie citie, and from those things which are written in this booke.

And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and the holy city, which are described in this book.

20 He which testifieth these things, saith, Surely, I come quickly. Amen. Euen so, come Lord Iesus.

He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

21 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you all, AMEN.

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.
