1 Luego vi un cielo nuevo y una tierra nueva - porque el primer cielo y la primera tierra desaparecieron, y el mar no existe ya.1 I saw the new heaven and the new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more.
2 Y vi la Ciudad Santa, la nueva Jerusalén, que bajaba del cielo, de junto a Dios, engalanada como una novia ataviada para su esposo.2 And I, John, saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Y oí una fuerte voz que decía desde el trono: «Esta es la morada de Dios con los hombres. Pondrá su morada entre ellos y ellos serán su pueblo y él Dios - con - ellos, será su Dios.3 And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: “Behold the tabernacle of God with men. And he will dwell with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be their God with them.
4 Y enjugará toda lágrima de sus ojos, y no habrá ya muerte ni habrá llanto, ni gritos ni fatigas, porque el mundo viejo ha pasado».4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no more. And neither mourning, nor crying out, nor grief shall be anymore. For the first things have passed away.”
5 Entonces dijo el que está sentado en el trono: «Mira que hago un mundo nuevo». Y añadió: «Escribe: Estas son palabras ciertas y verdaderas».5 And the One who was sitting upon the throne, said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And he said to me, “Write, for these words are entirely faithful and true.”
6 Me dijo también: «Hecho está: yo soy el Alfa y la Omega, el Principio y el Fin; al que tenga sed, yo le daré del manantial del agua de la vida gratis.6 And he said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To those who thirst, I will give freely from the fountain of the water of life.
7 Esta será la herencia del vencedor: yo seré Dios para él, y él será hijo para mi.7 Whoever prevails shall possess these things. And I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 Pero los cobardes, los incrédulos, los abominables, los asesinos, los impuros, los hechiceros, los idólatras y todos los embusteros tendrán su parte en el lago que arde con fuego y azufre: que es la muerte segunda.8 But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and drug users, and idolaters, and all liars, these shall be a part of the pool burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.”
9 Entonces vino uno de los siete Angeles que tenían las siete copas llenas de las siete últimas plagas, y me habló diciendo: «Ven, que te voy a enseñar a la Novia, a la Esposa del Cordero».9 And one of the seven Angels, those holding the bowls filled with the seven last afflictions, approached and spoke with me, saying: “Come, and I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10 Me trasladó en espíritu a un monte grande y alto y me mostró la Ciudad Santa de Jerusalén, que bajaba del cielo, de junto a Dios,10 And he took me up in spirit to a great and high mountain. And he showed me the Holy City Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 y tenía la gloria de Dios. Su resplandor era como el de una piedra muy preciosa, como jaspe cristalino.11 having the glory of God. And its light was like that of a precious stone, even like that of the jasper stone or like crystal.
12 Tenía una muralla grande y alta con doce puertas; y sobre las puertas, doce Angeles y nombres grabados, que son los de las doce tribus de los hijos de Israel;12 And it had a wall, great and high, having twelve gates. And at the gates were twelve Angels. And names were written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
13 al oriente tres puertas; al norte tres puertas; al mediodía tres puertas; al occidente tres puertas.13 On the East were three gates, and on the North were three gates, and on the South were three gates, and on the West were three gates.
14 La muralla de la ciudad se asienta sobre doce piedras, que llevan los nombres de los doce Apóstoles del Cordero.14 And the wall of the City had twelve foundations. And upon them were the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
15 El que hablaba conmigo tenía una caña de medir, de oro, para medir la ciudad, sus puertas y su muralla.15 And he who was speaking with me was holding a golden measuring reed, in order to measure the City, and its gates and wall.
16 La ciudad es un cuadrado: su largura es igual a su anchura. Midió la ciudad con la caña, y tenía 12.000 estadios. Su largura, anchura y altura son iguales.16 And the city is laid out as a square, and so its length is as great as the width. And he measured the city with the golden reed for twelve thousand stadia, and its length and height and breadth were equal.
17 Midió luego su muralla, y tenía 144 codos - con medida humana, que era la del Angel -.17 And he measured its wall as one hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is of an Angel.
18 El material de esta muralla es jaspe y la ciudad es de oro puro semejante al vidrio puro.18 And the structure of its wall was of jasper stone. Yet truly, the city itself was of pure gold, similar to pure glass.
19 Los asientos de la muralla de la ciudad están adornados de toda clase de piedras preciosas: el primer asiento es de jaspe, el segundo de zafiro, el tercero de calcedonia, el cuarto de esmeralda,19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was of jasper, the second was of sapphire, the third was of chalcedony, the fourth was of emerald,
20 el quinto de sardónica, el sexto de cornalina, el séptimo de crisólito, el octavo de berilo, el noveno de topacio, el décimo de crisoprasa, el undécimo de jacinto, el duodécimo de amatista.20 the fifth was of sardonyx, the sixth was of sardius, the seventh was of chrysolite, the eighth was of beryl, the ninth was of topaz, the tenth was of chrysoprasus, the eleventh was of jacinth, the twelfth was of amethyst.
21 Y las doce puertas son doce perlas, cada una de las puertas hecha de una sola perla; y la plaza de la ciudad es de oro puro, trasparente como el cristal.21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, one for each, so that each gate was made from a single pearl. And the main street of the city was of pure gold, similar to transparent glass.
22 Pero no vi Santuario alguno en ella; porque el Señor, el Dios Todopoderoso, y el Cordero, es su Santuario.22 And I saw no temple in it. For the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
23 La ciudad no necesita ni de sol ni de luna que la alumbren, porque la ilumina la gloria de Dios, y su lámpara es el Cordero.23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine in it. For the glory of God has illuminated it, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24 Las naciones caminarán a su luz, y los reyes de la tierra irán a llevarle su esplendor.24 And the nations shall walk by its light. And the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honor into it.
25 Sus puertas no se cerrarán con el día - porque allí no habrá noche -25 And its gates shall not be closed throughout the day, for there shall be no night in that place.
26 y traerán a ella el esplendor y los tesoros de las naciones.26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
27 Nada profano entrará en ella, ni los que cometen abominación y mentira, sino solamente los inscritos en el libro de la vida del Cordero.27 There shall not enter into it anything defiled, nor anything causing an abomination, nor anything false, but only those who have been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.
