< 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.
و دیدم آسمانی جدید و زمینی جدید، چونکه آسمان اول و زمین اول درگذشت و دریا دیگر نمی باشد.۱
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.
و شهر مقدس اورشلیم جدید را دیدم که از جانب خدا ازآسمان نازل می‌شود، حاضر شده چون عروسی که برای شوهر خود آراسته است.۲
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.
و آوازی بلنداز آسمان شنیدم که می‌گفت: «اینک خیمه خدا باآدمیان است و با ایشان ساکن خواهد بود و ایشان قوم های او خواهند بود و خود خدا با ایشان خدای ایشان خواهد بود.۳
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.”
و خدا هر اشکی ازچشمان ایشان پاک خواهد کرد. و بعد از آن موت نخواهد بود و ماتم و ناله و درد دیگر رو نخواهدنمود زیرا که چیزهای اول درگذشت.»۴
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].”
و آن تخت‌نشین گفت: «الحال همه‌چیز را نومی سازم.» و گفت: «بنویس، زیرا که این کلام امین و راست است.»۵
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].
باز مرا گفت: «تمام شد! من الف و یا و ابتدا وانتها هستم. من به هر‌که تشنه باشد، از چشمه آب حیات، مفت خواهم داد.۶
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.
و هر‌که غالب آید، وارث همه‌چیز خواهد شد، و او را خدا خواهم بود و او مرا پسر خواهد بود.۷
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)
لکن ترسندگان و بی ایمانان و خبیثان و قاتلان و زانیان و جادوگران و بت‌پرستان و جمیع دروغگویان، نصیب ایشان در دریاچه افروخته شده به آتش و کبریت خواهدبود. این است موت ثانی.» (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)۸
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].”
و یکی از آن هفت فرشته که هفت پیاله پر ازهفت بلای آخرین را دارند، آمد و مرا مخاطب ساخته، گفت: «بیا تا عروس منکوحه بره را به تونشان دهم.»۹
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.
آنگاه مرا در روح، به کوهی بزرگ بلند برد و شهر مقدس اورشلیم را به من نمود که از آسمان از جانب خدا نازل می‌شود،۱۰
11 It was shining with his glory. The city was shining like a very precious jasper stone [shines, and] it was clear like crystal.
و جلال خدا را دارد و نورش مانند جواهر گرانبها، چون یشم بلورین.۱۱
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].
و دیواری بزرگ و بلند دارد ودوازده دروازه دارد و بر سر دروازه‌ها دوازده فرشته و اسم‌ها بر ایشان مرقوم است که نامهای دوازده سبط بنی‌اسرائیل باشد.۱۲
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].
از مشرق سه دروازه و از شمال سه دروازه و از جنوب سه دروازه و از مغرب سه دروازه.۱۳
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.
و دیوار شهردوازده اساس دارد و بر آنها دوازده اسم دوازده رسول بره است.۱۴
15 The angel who was speaking to me carried a golden measuring rod, in order to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
و آن کس که با من تکلم می‌کرد، نی طلاداشت تا شهر و دروازه هایش و دیوارش رابپیماید.۱۵
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].
و شهر مربع است که طول و عرضش مساوی است و شهر را به آن نی پیموده، دوازده هزار تیر پرتاب یافت و طول و عرض وبلندی‌اش برابر است.۱۶
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].
و دیوارش را صد و چهل و چهارذراع پیمود، موافق ذراع انسان، یعنی فرشته.۱۷
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.
وبنای دیوار آن از یشم بود و شهر از زر خالص چون شیشه مصفی بود.۱۸
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,
و بنیاد دیوار شهر به هر نوع جواهر گرانبها مزین بود که بنیاد اول، یشم و دوم، یاقوت کبود و سوم، عقیق سفید و چهارم، زمرد۱۹
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.
و پنجم، جزع عقیقی و ششم، عقیق وهفتم، زبرجد و هشتم، زمرد سلقی و نهم، طوپاز ودهم، عقیق اخضر و یازدهم، آسمانجونی ودوازدهم، یاقوت بود.۲۰
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.
و دوازده دروازه، دوازده مروارید بود، هر دروازه از یک مروارید وشارع عام شهر، از زر خالص چون شیشه شفاف.۲۱
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.
و در آن هیچ قدس ندیدم زیرا خداوندخدای قادر مطلق و بره قدس آن است.۲۲
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.
و شهراحتیاج ندارد که آفتاب یا ماه آن را روشنایی دهدزیرا که جلال خدا آن را منور می‌سازد و چراغش بره است.۲۳
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].
و امت‌ها در نورش سالک خواهندبود و پادشاهان جهان، جلال و اکرام خود را به آن خواهند درآورد.۲۴
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.
و دروازه هایش در روز بسته نخواهد بود زیرا که شب در آنجا نخواهد بود.۲۵
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].
و جلال و عزت امت‌ها را به آن داخل خواهندساخت.۲۶
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.
و چیزی ناپاک یا کسی‌که مرتکب عمل زشت یا دروغ شود، هرگز داخل آن نخواهدشد، مگر آنانی که در دفتر حیات بره مکتوبند.۲۷
