21:1  et vidi caelum novum et terram         1.  And I saw a new heaven and a new
novam primum enim caelum et prima terra      earth: for the first heaven and the
abiit et mare iam non est                    first earth were passed away; and there
                                             was no more sea.

21:2  et civitatem sanctam Hierusalem        2.  And I John saw the holy city, new
novam vidi descendentem de caelo a Deo       Jerusalem, coming down from God out of
paratam sicut sponsam ornatam viro suo       heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for
                                             her husband.

21:3  et audivi vocem magnam de throno       3.  And I heard a great voice out of
dicentem ecce tabernaculum Dei cum           heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle
hominibus et habitabit cum eis et ipsi       of God is with men, and he will dwell
populus eius erunt et ipse Deus cum eis      with them, and they shall be his
erit eorum Deus                              people, and God himself shall be with
                                             them, and be their God.

21:4  et absterget Deus omnem lacrimam       4.  And God shall wipe away all tears
ab oculis eorum et mors ultra non erit       from their eyes; and there shall be no
neque luctus neque clamor neque dolor        more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
erit ultra quae prima abierunt               neither shall there be any more pain:
                                             for the former things are passed away.

21:5  et dixit qui sedebat in throno         5.  And he that sat upon the throne
ecce nova facio omnia et dicit scribe        said, Behold, I make all things new.
quia haec verba fidelissima sunt et vera     And he said unto me, Write: for these
                                             words are true and faithful.

21:6  et dixit mihi factum est ego sum       6.  And he said unto me, It is done. I
Alpha et Omega initium et finis ego          am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
sitienti dabo de fonte aquae vivae           the end. I will give unto him that is
gratis                                       athirst of the fountain of the water of
                                             life freely.

21:7  qui vicerit possidebit haec et         7.  He that overcometh shall inherit
ero illi Deus et ille erit mihi filius       all things; and I will be his God, and
                                             he shall be my son.

21:8  timidis autem et incredulis et         8.  But the fearful, and unbelieving,
execratis et homicidis et                    and the abominable, and murderers, and
fornicatoribus et veneficis et               whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolatris et omnibus mendacibus pars         idolaters, and all liars, shall have
illorum erit in stagno ardenti igne et       their part in the lake which burneth
sulphure quod est mors secunda               with fire and brimstone: which is the
                                             second death.

21:9  et venit unus de septem angelis        9.  And there came unto me one of the
habentibus fialas plenas septem plagis       seven angels which had the seven vials
novissimis et locutus est mecum dicens       full of the seven last plagues, and
veni ostendam tibi sponsam uxorem agni       talked with me, saying, Come hither, I
                                             will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's
                                             wife.

21:10  et sustulit me in spiritu in          10.  And he carried me away in the
montem magnum et altum et ostendit mihi      spirit to a great and high mountain,
civitatem sanctam Hierusalem                 and shewed me that great city, the holy
descendentem de caelo a Deo                  Jerusalem, descending out of heaven
                                             from God,

21:11  habentem claritatem Dei lumen         11.  Having the glory of God: and her
eius simile lapidi pretioso tamquam          light was like unto a stone most
lapidi iaspidis sicut cristallum             precious, even like a jasper stone,
                                             clear as crystal;

21:12  et habebat murum magnum et altum      12.  And had a wall great and high, and
habens portas duodecim et in portis          had twelve gates, and at the gates
angelos duodecim et nomina inscripta         twelve angels, and names written
quae sunt nomina duodecim tribuum            thereon, which are the names of the
filiorum Israhel                             twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

21:13  ab oriente portae tres et ab          13.  On the east three gates; on the
aquilone portae tres et ab austro            north three gates; on the south three
portae tres et ab occasu portae tres         gates; and on the west three gates.

21:14  et murus civitatis habens             14.  And the wall of the city had
fundamenta duodecim et in ipsis              twelve foundations, and in them the
duodecim nomina duodecim apostolorum         names of the twelve apostles of the
agni                                         Lamb.

21:15  et qui loquebatur mecum habebat       15.  And he that talked with me had a
mensuram harundinem auream ut metiretur      golden reed to measure the city, and
civitatem et portas eius et murum            the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

21:16  et civitas in quadro posita est       16.  And the city lieth foursquare, and
et longitudo eius tanta est quanta et        the length is as large as the breadth:
latitudo et mensus est civitatem de          and he measured the city with the reed,
harundine per stadia duodecim milia          twelve thousand furlongs. The length
longitudo et latitudo et altitudo eius       and the breadth and the height of it
aequalia sunt                                are equal.

21:17  et mensus est murus eius centum       17.  And he measured the wall thereof,
quadraginta quattuor cubitorum mensura       an hundred and forty and four cubits,
hominis quae est angeli                      according to the measure of a man, that
                                             is, of the angel.

21:18  et erat structura muri eius ex        18.  And the building of the wall of it
lapide iaspide ipsa vero civitas auro        was of jasper: and the city was pure
mundo simile vitro mundo                     gold, like unto clear glass.

21:19  fundamenta muri civitatis omni        19.  And the foundations of the wall of
lapide pretioso ornata fundamentum           the city were garnished with all manner
primum iaspis secundus sapphyrus             of precious stones. The first
tertius carcedonius quartus zmaragdus        foundation was jasper; the second,
                                             sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the
                                             fourth, an emerald;

21:20  quintus sardonix sextus sardinus      20.  The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth,
septimus chrysolitus octavus berillus        sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the
nonus topazius decimus chrysoprassus         eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the
undecimus hyacinthus duodecimus              tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a
amethistus                                   jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

21:21  et duodecim portae duodecim           21.  And the twelve gates were twelve
margaritae sunt per singulas et              pearls: every several gate was of one
singulae portae erant ex singulis            pearl: and the street of the city was
margaritis et platea civitatis aurum         pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
mundum tamquam vitrum perlucidum

21:22  et templum non vidi in ea             22.  And I saw no temple therein: for
Dominus enim Deus omnipotens templum         the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are
illius est et agnus                          the temple of it.

21:23  et civitas non eget sole neque        23.  And the city had no need of the
luna ut luceant in ea nam claritas Dei       sun, neither of the moon, to shine in
inluminavit eam et lucerna eius est          it: for the glory of God did lighten
agnus                                        it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

21:24  et ambulabunt gentes per lumen        24.  And the nations of them which are
eius et reges terrae adferent gloriam        saved shall walk in the light of it:
suam et honorem in illam                     and the kings of the earth do bring
                                             their glory and honour into it.

21:25  et portae eius non cludentur per      25.  And the gates of it shall not be
diem nox enim non erit illic                 shut at all by day: for there shall be
                                             no night there.

21:26  et adferent gloriam et honorem        26.  And they shall bring the glory and
gentium in illam                             honour of the nations into it.

21:27  nec intrabit in ea aliquid            27.  And there shall in no wise enter
coinquinatum et faciens abominationem        into it any thing that defileth,
et mendacium nisi qui scripti sunt in        neither whatsoever worketh abomination,
libro vitae agni                             or maketh a lie: but they which are
                                             written in the Lamb's book of life.
