若望默示录 22

1And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2In the midst of the street thereof, and on both sides of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruits every month, and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3And there shall be no curse any more; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve him.

4And they shall see his face: and his name shall be on their foreheads.

5And night shall be no more: and they shall not need the light of the lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall enlighten them, and they shall reign for ever and ever.

6And he said to me: These words are most faithful and true. And the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to shew his servants the things which must be done shortly.

7And, Behold I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.

8And I, John, who have heard and seen these things. And after I had heard and seen, I fell down to adore before the feet of the angel, who shewed me these things.

9And he said to me: See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them that keep the words of the prophecy of this book. Adore God.

10And he saith to me: Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

11He that hurteth, let him hurt still: and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is just, let him be justified still: and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still.

12Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to every man according to his works.

13I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

14Blessed are they that wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb: that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

15Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and unchaste, and murderers, and servers of idols, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.

16I Jesus have sent my angel, to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and stock of David, the bright and morning star.

17And the spirit and the bride say: Come. And he that heareth, let him say: Come. And he that thirsteth, let him come: and he that will, let him take the water of life, freely.

18For I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book: If any man shall add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues written in this book.

19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from these things that are written in this book.

20He that giveth testimony of these things, saith, Surely I come quickly: Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

1Et ostendit mihi fluvium aquæ vitæ, splendidum tamquam crystallum, procedentem de sede Dei et Agni.

2In medio plateæ ejus, et ex utraque parte fluminis, lignum vitæ, afferens fructus duodecim per menses singulos, reddens fructum suum et folia ligni ad sanitatem gentium.

3Et omne maledictum non erit amplius: sed sedes Dei et Agni in illa erunt, et servi ejus servient illi.

4Et videbunt faciem ejus: et nomen ejus in frontibus eorum.

5Et nox ultra non erit: et non egebunt lumine lucernæ, neque lumine solis, quoniam Dominus Deus illuminabit illos, et regnabunt in sæcula sæculorum.

6Et dixit mihi: Hæc verba fidelissima sunt, et vera. Et Dominus Deus spirituum prophetarum misit angelum suum ostendere servis suis quæ oportet fieri cito.

7Et ecce venio velociter. Beatus, qui custodit verba prophetiæ libri hujus.

8Et ego Joannes, qui audivi, et vidi hæc. Et postquam audissem, et vidissem, cecidi ut adorarem ante pedes angeli, qui mihi hæc ostendebat:

9et dixit mihi: Vide ne feceris: conservus enim tuus sum, et fratrum tuorum prophetarum, et eorum qui servant verba prophetiæ libri hujus: Deum adora.

10Et dicit mihi: Ne signaveris verba prophetiæ libri hujus: tempus enim prope est.

11Qui nocet, noceat adhuc: et qui in sordibus est, sordescat adhuc: et qui justus est, justificetur adhuc: et sanctus, sanctificetur adhuc.

12Ecce venio cito, et merces mea mecum est, reddere unicuique secundum opera sua.

13Ego sum alpha et omega, primus et novissimus, principium et finis.

14Beati, qui lavant stolas suas in sanguine Agni: ut sit potestas eorum in ligno vitæ, et per portas intrent in civitatem.

15Foris canes, et venefici, et impudici, et homicidæ, et idolis servientes, et omnis qui amat et facit mendacium.

16Ego Jesus misi angelum meum testificari vobis hæc in ecclesiis. Ego sum radix, et genus David, stella splendida et matutina.

17Et spiritus, et sponsa dicunt: Veni. Et qui audit, dicat: Veni. Et qui sitit, veniat: et qui vult, accipiat aquam vitæ, gratis.

18Contestor enim omni audienti verba prophetiæ libri hujus: si quis apposuerit ad hæc, apponet Deus super illum plagas scriptas in libro isto.

19Et si quis diminuerit de verbis libri prophetiæ hujus, auferet Deus partem ejus de libro vitæ, et de civitate sancta, et de his quæ scripta sunt in libro isto:

20dicit qui testimonium perhibet istorum. Etiam venio cito: amen. Veni, Domine Jesu.

21Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi cum omnibus vobis. Amen.

1And he showed me the river of the water of life, shining like crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2In the midst of its main street, and on both sides of the river, was the Tree of Life, bearing twelve fruits, offering one fruit for each month, and the leaves of the tree are for the health of the nations.

3And every curse shall be no more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants shall serve him.

4And they shall see his face. And his name shall be on their foreheads.

5And night shall be no more. And they will not need the light of a lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illuminate them. And they shall reign forever and ever.

6And he said to me: “These words are entirely faithful and true.” And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his Angel to reveal to his servant what must occur soon:

7“For behold, I am approaching quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

8And I, John, heard and saw these things. And, after I had heard and seen, I fell down, so as to adore before the feet of the Angel, who was revealing these things to me.

9And he said to me: “Be careful not to do so. For I am your fellow servant, and I am among your brothers the prophets, and among those who keep the words of the prophecy of this book. Adore God.”

10And he said to me: “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book. For the time is near.

11Whoever does harm, he might still do harm. And whoever is filthy, he might still be filthy. And whoever is just, he may still be just. And one who is holy, he may still be holy.”

12“Behold, I am approaching quickly! And my repayment is with me, to render to each one according to his works.

13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”

14Blessed are those who wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb. So may they have a right to the tree of life; so may they enter through the gates into the City.

15Outside are dogs, and drug abusers, and the unchaste, and murderers, and those who serve idols, and all who love and do what is false.

16“I, Jesus, have sent my Angel, to testify to these things for you among the Churches. I am the Root and the Origin of David, the bright morning Star.”

17And the Spirit and the Bride say: “Draw near.” And whoever hears, let him say: “Draw near.” And whoever thirsts, let him draw near. And whoever is willing, let him accept the water of life, freely.

18For I call as witnesses all listeners of the words of the prophecy of this book. If anyone will have added to these, God will add upon him the afflictions written in this book.

19And if anyone will have taken away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his portion from the Book of Life, and from the Holy City, and from these things which have been written in this book.

20He who offers testimony to these things, says: “Even now, I am approaching quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
