Revelation 22

1 And he pointed out to me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, issuing forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,

He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,

2 in the midst of the broadway thereof. And, on this side of the river and on that, was a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, every several month, yielding its fruit; and, the leaves of the tree, were for the healing of the nations,

in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3 And, no curse, shall there be, any more; and, the throne of God and of the Lamb, shall be, therein, —and his servants will render divine service unto him,

There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him.

4 and they shall see his face, and, his name, [shall be] upon their foreheads.

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

5 And, night, shall be, no more; and they have no need of the light of a lamp or the light of a sun, because, the Lord, God, will give them light, —and they shall reign unto the ages of ages. (aiōn g165)

There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever. (aiōn g165)

6 And he said unto me—These words, are faithful and true; and, the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, hath sent his messenger, to point out, unto his servants, the things which must needs come to pass with speed.

He said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his bondservants the things which must happen soon.”

7 And—Lo! I come speedily! Happy, is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this scroll.

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

8 And, I, John, am he that was hearing and seeing these things; and, when I had heard and seen, I fell down to do homage at the feet of the messenger who had been pointing out unto me these things, —

Now I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who had shown me these things.

9 and he saith unto me—See [thou do it] not! A fellow-servant, am I, of thee, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them who keep the words of this scroll: unto God, do homage.

He said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

10 And he saith unto me—Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, for, the season, is, near:

He said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

11 He that is doing unjustly, let him do unjustly, still, and, he that is filthy, let him be made filthy, still; and, he that is righteous, let him do righteousness, still, and, he that is holy, let him be hallowed, still: —

He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”

12 Lo! I come speedily, and my reward is with me, to render unto each one as, his, work is.

“Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.

13 I, am the A and the Z, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

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

14 Happy, they who are washing their robes, that their right may be unto the tree of life and, by the gates, they may enter into the city.

Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

15 Outside, are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the unchaste, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one loving and doing falsehood.

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

16 I, Jesus, have sent my messenger, to bear witness unto you of these things, for the assemblies. I, am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright and the morning Star.

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

17 And, the Spirit and the Bride, say—Come! and, he that heareth, let him say—Come! and, he that is athirst, let him come, —he that will, let him take of the water of life, freely.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

18 I, bear witness, unto every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this scroll: —If anyone shall lay aught upon them, God, will lay upon him, the plagues which are written in this scroll;

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

19 And, if anyone shall take away from the words of this prophetic scroll, God, will take away his part, —from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, —[from] the things written in this scroll.

If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.

20 He that beareth witness of these things, saith—Yea! I come, speedily. Amen! come, Lord Jesus!

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

21 The favour of the Lord Jesus [Christ] be with the saints.

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