< Revelation 21 >

1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.
ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ سَمَاءً جَدِيدَةً وَأَرْضاً جَدِيدَةً لَا بَحْرَ فِيهَا، لأَنَّ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ الْقَدِيمَتَيْنِ قَدْ زَالَتَا.١
2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
وَأَنَا رَأَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ، أُورُشَلِيمَ الْجَدِيدَةَ، نَازِلَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ، مُجَهَّزَةً كَأَنَّهَا عَرُوسٌ مُزَيَّنَةٌ لِعَرِيسِهَا.٢
3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people; and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً هَاتِفاً مِنَ الْعَرْشِ: «الآنَ صَارَ مَسْكَنُ اللهِ مَعَ النَّاسِ، هُوَ يَسْكُنُ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَهُمْ يَصِيرُونَ شَعْباً لَهُ. اللهُ نَفْسُهُ يَكُونُ مَعَهُمْ إِلهاً لَهُمْ!٣
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more. The first things have passed away.”
وَسَيَمْسَحُ كُلَّ دَمْعَةٍ مِنْ عُيُونِهِمْ. إِذْ يَزُولُ الْمَوْتُ وَالْحُزْنُ وَالصُّرَاخُ وَالأَلَمُ، لأَنَّ الأُمُورَ الْقَدِيمَةَ كُلَّهَا قَدْ زَالَتْ!»٤
5 He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.”
وَقَالَ الْجَالِسُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ: «سَأَصْنَعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ جَدِيداً». ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «اكْتُبْ هَذَا، فَإِنَّ مَا أَقُولُهُ هُوَ الصِّدْقُ وَالْحَقُّ».٥
6 He said to me, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.
ثُمَّ قَالَ: «قَدْ تَمَّ. أَنَا الأَلِفُ وَالْيَاءُ (الْبِدَايَةُ وَالنِّهَايَةُ). أَنَا أَسْقِي الْعَطْشَانَ مِنْ يَنْبُوعِ مَاءِ الْحَيَاةِ مَجَّاناً.٦
7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.
هَذَا كُلُّهُ نَصِيبُ الْمُنْتَصِرِ، وَأَكُونُ إِلَهاً لَهُ، وَهُوَ يَكُونُ ابْناً لِي.٧
8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
أَمَّا الْجُبَنَاءُ وَغَيْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَالْفَاسِدُونَ وَالْقَاتِلُونَ وَالزُّنَاةُ، وَالْمُتَّصِلُونَ بِالشَّيَاطِينِ وَعَبَدَةُ الأَصْنَامِ وَجَمِيعُ الدَّجَّالِينَ، فَمَصِيرُهُمْ إِلَى الْبُحَيْرَةِ الْمُتَّقِدَةِ بِالنَّارِ وَالْكِبْرِيتِ، الَّذِي هُوَ الْمَوْتُ الثَّانِي». (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)٨
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls which were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”
وَجَاءَ أَحَدُ الْمَلائِكَةِ السَّبْعَةِ الَّذِينَ أَفْرَغُوا كُؤُوسَ بَلايَاهُمُ السَّبْعِ الأَخِيرَةِ، وَقَالَ لِي: «تَعَالَ فَأُرِيَكَ عَرُوسَ الْحَمَلِ».٩
10 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,
وَأَخَذَنِي بِالرُّوحِ إِلَى قِمَّةِ جَبَلٍ ضَخْمٍ عَالٍ، وَأَرَانِي الْمَدِينَةَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ نَازِلَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ١٠
11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
وَلَهَا مَجْدُ اللهِ، وَهِيَ تَتَلأْلأُ كَالأَحْجَارِ الْكَرِيمَةِ، وَكَأَنَّهَا مِنْ حَجَرِ الْيَشْبِ الْبِلَّوْرِيِّ!١١
12 having a great and high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
لَهَا سُورٌ ضَخْمٌ عَالٍ وَاثْنَا عَشَرَ بَاباً يَحْرُسُهَا اثْنَا عَشَرَ مَلاكاً، وَقَدْ كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْهَا أَسْمَاءُ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ؛١٢
13 On the east were three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
إِلَى الشَّرْقِ ثَلاثَةُ أَبْوَابٍ؛ وَإِلَى الشِّمَالِ ثَلاثَةُ أَبْوَابٍ، وَإِلَى الْجَنُوبِ ثَلاثَةُ أَبْوَابٍ؛ وَإِلَى الْغَرْبِ ثَلاثَةُ أَبْوَابٍ.١٣
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
وَيَقُومُ سُورُ الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ دِعَامَةً كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْهَا أَسْمَاءُ رُسُلِ الْحَمَلِ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ.١٤
15 He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.
وَكَانَ الْمَلاكُ الَّذِي يُكَلِّمُنِي يُمْسِكُ قَصَبَةً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ لِيَقِيسَ بِها الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَبْوَابَهَا وَسُورَهَا.١٥
16 The city is square. Its length is as great as its width. He measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand twelve stadia. Its length, width, and height are equal.
وَكَانَتْ أَرْضُ الْمَدِينَةِ مُرَبَّعَةً، طُولُهَا يُسَاوِي عَرْضَهَا، فَلَمَّا قَاسَهَا بِالْقَصَبَةِ تَبَيَّنَ أَنَّ ضِلْعَهَا يُسَاوِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفِ غَلْوَة (أَلْفَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعْمِئَةِ كِيلُومِتْرٍ)، وَهِيَ مُتَسَاوِيَةُ الطُّولِ وَالْعَرْضِ وَالارْتِفَاعِ.١٦
17 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
ثُمَّ قَاسَ السُّورَ، فَتَبَيَّنَ أَنَّهُ يُسَاوِي مِئَةً وَأَرْبَعاً وَأَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعاً، وَكَانَ الْمَلاكُ يَسْتَعْمِلُ قِيَاساً يُعَادِلُ ذِرَاعَ إِنْسَانٍ.١٧
18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.
كَانَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ مَبْنِيَّةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ شَفَّافٍ كَالزُّجَاجِ النَّقِيِّ. أَمَّا سُورُهَا فَمِنَ الْيَشْبِ،١٨
19 The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire; the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ دِعَامَةً مُرَصَّعَةً بِالأَحْجَارِ الْكَرِيمَةِ: كَانَتِ الدِّعَامَةُ الأُولَى مِنَ الْيَشْبِ؛ وَالثَّانِيَةُ مِنَ الْيَاقُوتِ الأَزْرَقِ؛ وَالثَّالِثَةُ مِنَ الْعَقِيقِ الأَبْيَضِ؛ وَالرَّابِعَةُ مِنَ الزُّمُرُّدِ الذُّبَابِيِّ؛١٩
20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
وَالْخَامِسَةُ مِنَ الْجَزْعِ الْعَقِيقِيِّ؛ وَالسَّادِسَةُ مِنَ الْعَقِيقِ الأَحْمَرِ؛ وَالسَّابِعَةُ مِنَ الزَّبَرْجَدِ؛ وَالثَّامِنَةُ مِنَ الزُّمُرُّدِ السِّلْقِيِّ؛ وَالتَّاسِعَةُ مِنَ الْيَاقُوتِ الأَصْفَرِ، وَالْعَاشِرَةُ مِنَ الْعَقِيقِ الأَخْضَرِ؛ وَالْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنَ الأَسْمَانْجُونِيِّ؛ وَالثَّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنَ الْجَمَشْتِ.٢٠
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
أَمَّا الأَبْوَابُ الاثْنَا عَشَرَ فَهِيَ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ لُؤْلُؤَةً: كُلُّ بَابٍ لُؤْلُؤَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ. وَسَاحَةُ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ كَالزُّجَاجِ الشَّفَّافِ.٢١
22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
وَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ هَيْكَلاً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الإِلهَ الْقَادِرَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَالْحَمَلَ هُمَا هَيْكَلُهَا.٢٢
23 The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb.
وَلَمْ تَكُنِ الْمَدِينَةُ فِي حَاجَةٍ إِلَى نُورِ الشَّمْسِ أَوِ الْقَمَرِ، لأَنَّ مَجْدَ اللهِ يُنِيرُهَا، وَالْحَمَلَ مِصْبَاحُهَا.٢٣
24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
سَتَسِيرُ بِنُورِهَا الأُمَمُ، وَيَأْتِيهَا مُلُوكُ الأَرْضِ بِكُنُوزِهِمْ.٢٤
25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
وَلا تُقْفَلُ أَبْوَابُهَا أَبَداً طُولَ النَّهَارِ، لأَنَّ اللَّيْلَ لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا!٢٥
26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.
وَسَتُحْمَلُ إِلَيْهَا كُنُوزُ الأُمَمِ وَأَمْجَادُهَا.٢٦
27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
وَلَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا شَيْءٌ نَجِسٌ، وَلا الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الْقَبَائِحَ وَيُدَجِّلُونَ، بَلْ فَقَطِ الَّذِينَ كُتِبَتْ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ فِي سِجِلِّ الْحَيَاةِ لِلْحَمَلِ!٢٧
