[1] AND I saw new heavens and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth had gone, and the sea was no more.
[2] And the holy city, Urishlem the new, I saw descending from heaven from Aloha, prepared as the bride is decked for her husband.
[3] And I heard a great voice from heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of Aloha is with men; and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people; and Aloha himself will be with them, and will be their God.
[4] And every tear shall be wiped away from their eyes, and death shall be no more; nor sorrow, nor clamour, nor pain, shall be any more; for the former things are passed away.
[5] And He who sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said, Write: for these are the faithful and true words of Aloha.
[6] And he said to me, I am Olaph and Thau, the Beginning and the End. To him who thirsteth I will give of the water of life freely.
[7] He who overcometh shall inherit these; and I will be to him Aloha, and he shall be my son.
[8] But the fearful, and the faithless, and sinners, and the unclean, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and servers of idols, and all liars, [shall have] their portion in the lake which burneth with fire and sulphur; which is the second death.
[9] And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, came and spake with me. saying, Come, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
[10] And he led me in spirit upon a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city Urishlem, descending from heaven from Aloha;
[11] Having the glory of Aloha, as the clearness of light, like a stone of great price, as the stone Jaspon, resembling crystallos;
[12] Having a wall great and high, which had twelve gates, and names written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
[13] On the east three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
[14] And the wall of the city had twelve foundations; and upon them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
[15] And he who talked with me had a measure, a rod of gold, that he might measure the city and the gates and the walls thereof.
[16] And the city was set four-square, and the length of it was as the breadth: and he measured the city with the rod, upon twelve stadia of twelve thousand. And the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
[17] And he measured the wall of it, an hundred and forty and four measures of the cubits of a man, that is, of the angel.
[18] And the structure of the wall of it is [of] jaspis, and the city is of pure gold, like pure brightness.
[19] And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation was of jaspis, the second sathphiros, the third caledon, the fourth zmoragdo,
[20] The fifth sardonicos, the sixth sardion, the seventh crisuthilos, the eighth berulla, the ninth topadion, the tenth chrosoposius, the eleventh hyacinthos, the twelfth amuthistos.
[21] And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, each of every one of the gates [a pearl], and each of every one of the pearls [a gate]. And the wide street of the city was of pure gold as the brightness of light.
[22] And a temple I saw not in it; for the Lord, the Omnipotent, is the temple thereof and the Lamb.
[23] And the city hath no need of the sun nor of the moon to enlighten it; for the glory of Aloha illuminateth it, and the light thereof is the Lamb.
[24] And the nations of the saved walk by the light of it, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and the honour of the nations into it.
[25] And the gates of it shall not be shut by day, for night is not there.
[26] And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it;
[27] And nothing shall enter into it that defileth, nor that worketh uncleanness; but they who are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
