AND I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Καὶ εἶδον οὐρανὸν καινὸν καὶ γῆν καινήν· ὁ γὰρ πρῶτος οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ πρώτη γῆ ἀπῆλθον, καὶ ἡ θάλασσα οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι.

И҆ ви́дѣхъ не́бо но́во и҆ зе́млю но́вꙋ: пе́рвое бо не́бо и҆ землѧ̀ пе́рваѧ преидо́ста, и҆ мо́рѧ нѣ́сть ктомꙋ̀.

2

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

καὶ τὴν πόλιν τὴν ἁγίαν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καινὴν εἶδον καταβαίνουσαν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἡτοιμασμένην ὡς νύμφην κεκοσμημένην τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς.

И҆ а҆́зъ і҆ѡа́ннъ ви́дѣхъ гра́дъ ст҃ы́й, і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ но́въ сходѧ́щь ѿ бг҃а съ небесѐ, пригото́ванъ ꙗ҆́кѡ невѣ́стꙋ ᲂу҆кра́шенꙋ мꙋ́жꙋ своемꙋ̀.

3

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

καὶ ἤκουσα φωνῆς μεγάλης ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ λεγούσης· ἰδοὺ ἡ σκηνὴ τοῦ Θεοῦ μετὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ σκηνώσει μετ᾿ αὐτῶν, καὶ αὐτοὶ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἔσονται, καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ Θεὸς μετ᾿ αὐτῶν ἔσται,

И҆ слы́шахъ гла́съ ве́лїй съ небесѐ, гл҃ющь: сѐ, ски́нїѧ бж҃їѧ съ челѡвѣ́ки, и҆ всели́тсѧ съ ни́ми: и҆ ті́и лю́дїе є҆гѡ̀ бꙋ́дꙋтъ, и҆ са́мъ бг҃ъ бꙋ́детъ съ ни́ми бг҃ъ и҆́хъ:

4

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

καὶ ἐξαλείψει ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν ὁ Θεὸς πᾶν δάκρυον ἀπὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ὁ θάνατος οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι, οὔτε πένθος οὔτε κραυγὴ οὔτε πόνος οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι· ὅτι τὰ πρῶτα ἀπῆλθον.

и҆ ѿи́метъ бг҃ъ всѧ́кꙋ сле́зꙋ ѿ ѻ҆́чїю и҆́хъ, и҆ сме́рти не бꙋ́детъ ктомꙋ̀: ни пла́ча, ни во́плѧ, ни болѣ́зни не бꙋ́детъ ктомꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ пє́рваѧ мимоидо́ша.

5

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ τῷ θρόνῳ· ἰδοὺ καινὰ ποιῶ πάντα. καὶ λέγει μοι· γράψον, ὅτι οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι πιστοὶ καὶ ἀληθινοί εἰσι.

И҆ речѐ сѣдѧ́й на прⷭ҇то́лѣ: сѐ, нова̑ всѧ̑ творю̀. И҆ гл҃а мѝ: напишѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сїѧ̑ словеса̀ и҆́стинна и҆ вѣ̑рна сꙋ́ть.

6

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

καὶ εἶπέ μοι· γέγονεν. ἐγὼ τὸ Α καὶ τὸ Ω, ἡ ἀρχὴ καὶ τὸ τέλος. ἐγὼ τῷ διψῶντι δώσω ἐκ τῆς πηγῆς τοῦ ὕδατος τῆς ζωῆς δωρεάν.

И҆ рече́ ми: соверши́шасѧ. А҆́зъ є҆́смь а҆́лфа и҆ ѡ҆ме́га, нача́токъ и҆ коне́цъ: а҆́зъ жа́ждꙋщемꙋ да́мъ ѿ и҆сто́чника воды̀ живо́тныѧ тꙋ́не.

7

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

ὁ νικῶν, ἔσται αὐτῷ ταῦτα, καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτῷ Θεὸς καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται μοι υἱός.

Побѣжда́ѧй наслѣ́дитъ всѧ̑, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ бг҃ъ, и҆ то́й бꙋ́детъ мнѣ̀ въ сы́на.

8

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

τοῖς δὲ δειλοῖς καὶ ἀπίστοις καὶ ἐβδελυγμένοις καὶ φονεῦσι καὶ πόρνοις καὶ φαρμακοῖς καὶ εἰδωλολάτραις καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ψευδέσι τὸ μέρος αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ λίμνῃ τῇ καιομένῃ ἐν πυρὶ καὶ θείῳ, ὅ ἐστιν ὁ θάνατος ὁ δεύτερος.

Страшли̑вымъ же и҆ невѣ̑рнымъ, и҆ сквє́рнымъ и҆ ᲂу҆бі́йцамъ, и҆ блꙋ́дъ творѧ́щымъ и҆ ча̑ры творѧ́щымъ, і҆дѡложе́рцємъ и҆ всѣ̑мъ лжи̑вымъ, ча́сть и҆̀мъ въ є҆́зерѣ горѧ́щемъ ѻ҆гне́мъ и҆ жꙋ́пеломъ, є҆́же є҆́сть сме́рть втора́ѧ.

9

And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Καὶ ἦλθεν εἷς τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀγγέλων τῶν ἐχόντων τὰς ἑπτὰ φιάλας τὰς γεμούσας τῶν ἑπτὰ πληγῶν τῶν ἐσχάτων, καὶ ἐλάλησε μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ λέγων· δεῦρο δείξω σοι τὴν νύμφην τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ ἀρνίου.

И҆ прїи́де ко мнѣ̀ є҆ди́нъ ѿ седмѝ а҆́гг҃лъ, и҆мꙋ́щихъ се́дмь фїа̑лъ и҆спо́лненыхъ седми́хъ ꙗ҆́звъ послѣ́днихъ, и҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀, глаго́лѧ: грѧдѝ, покажꙋ́ ти невѣ́стꙋ а҆́гнчꙋ женꙋ̀.

10

And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

καὶ ἀπήνεγκέ με ἐν πνεύματι ἐπ᾿ ὄρος μέγα καὶ ὑψηλόν, καὶ ἔδειξέ μοι τὴν πόλιν τὴν ἁγίαν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καταβαίνουσαν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ,

И҆ веде́ мѧ дꙋ́хомъ на горꙋ̀ вели́кꙋ и҆ высокꙋ̀ и҆ показа́ ми гра́дъ вели́кїй, ст҃ы́й і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ низходѧ́щь съ небесѐ ѿ бг҃а,

11

Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

ἔχουσαν τὴν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ· ὁ φωστὴρ αὐτῆς ὅμοιος λίθῳ τιμιωτάτῳ, ὡς λίθῳ ἰάσπιδι κρυσταλλίζοντι·

и҆мꙋ́щь сла́вꙋ бж҃їю: и҆ свѣти́ло є҆гѡ̀ подо́бно ка́мени драго́мꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ка́мени і҆а́спїсꙋ крѷсталлови́днꙋ:

12

And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

ἔχουσα τεῖχος μέγα καὶ ὑψηλόν, ἔχουσα πυλῶνας δώδεκα, καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς πυλῶσιν ἀγγέλους δώδεκα, καὶ ὀνόματα ἐπιγεγραμμένα, ἅ ἐστιν ὀνόματα τῶν δώδεκα φυλῶν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.

и҆мꙋ́щь стѣ́нꙋ вели́кꙋ и҆ высокꙋ̀, и҆мꙋ́щь вра́тъ двана́десѧть, и҆ на вратѣ́хъ а҆́гг҃лѡвъ двана́десѧть и҆ и҆мена̀ напи̑сана, ꙗ҆̀же сꙋ́ть и҆мена̀ двана́десѧтимъ колѣ́нѡмъ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ:

13

On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

ἀπ᾿ ἀνατολῶν πυλῶνες τρεῖς, καὶ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ πυλῶνες τρεῖς, καὶ ἀπὸ νότου πυλῶνες τρεῖς, καὶ ἀπὸ δυσμῶν πυλῶνες τρεῖς.

ѿ восто́ка врата̀ тро́ѧ и҆ ѿ сѣ́вера врата̀ тро́ѧ, ѿ ю҆́га врата̀ тро́ѧ и҆ ѿ за́пада врата̀ тро́ѧ.

14

And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

καὶ τὸ τεῖχος τῆς πόλεως ἔχον θεμελίους δώδεκα, καὶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῶν δώδεκα ὀνόματα τῶν δώδεκα ἀποστόλων τοῦ ἀρνίου.

И҆ стѣна̀ гра́да и҆мѣ́ѧше ѡ҆снова́нїй двана́десѧть, и҆ на ни́хъ и҆ме́нъ двана́десѧть а҆пⷭ҇лѡвъ а҆́гнчихъ.

15

And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

Καὶ ὁ λαλῶν μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ εἶχε μέτρον κάλαμον χρυσοῦν, ἵνα μετρήσῃ τὴν πόλιν καὶ τοὺς πυλῶνας αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ τεῖχος αὐτῆς.

И҆ глаго́лѧй со мно́ю и҆мѣ́ѧше тро́сть зла́тꙋ, да и҆змѣ́ритъ гра́дъ и҆ врата̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ стѣ́ны є҆гѡ̀.

16

And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

καὶ ἡ πόλις τετράγωνος κεῖται, καὶ τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς ὅσον καὶ τὸ πλάτος. καὶ ἐμέτρησε τὴν πόλιν ἐν τῷ καλάμῳ ἐπὶ σταδίους δώδεκα χιλιάδων· τὸ μῆκος καὶ τὸ πλάτος καὶ τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς ἴσα ἐστί.

И҆ гра́дъ на четы́ри ᲂу҆́глы стои́тъ, и҆ долгота̀ є҆гѡ̀ толи́ка є҆́сть, є҆ли́ка же и҆ широта̀. И҆ и҆змѣ́ри гра́дъ тро́стїю на ста́дїй двана́десѧть ты́сѧщъ: долгота̀ и҆ широта̀ и҆ высота̀ є҆гѡ̀ ра̑вна сꙋ́ть.

17

And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

καὶ ἐμέτρησε τὸ τεῖχος αὐτῆς ἑκατὸν τεσσαράκοντα τεσσάρων πηχῶν, μέτρον ἀνθρώπου, ὅ ἐστιν ἀγγέλου.

И҆ размѣ́ри стѣ́нꙋ є҆гѡ̀ во сто̀ и҆ четы́ридесѧть и҆ четы́ри ла̑кти, въ мѣ́рꙋ человѣ́ческꙋ, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть а҆́гг҃ла.

18

And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

καὶ ἦν ἡ ἐνδόμησις τοῦ τείχους αὐτῆς ἴασπις, καὶ ἡ πόλις χρυσίον καθαρόν, ὅμοιον ὑάλῳ καθαρῷ.

И҆ бѣ̀ созда́нїе стѣны̀ є҆гѡ̀ і҆а́спїсъ: и҆ гра́дъ зла́то чи́сто, подо́бенъ стклꙋ̀ чи́стꙋ.

19

And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

οἱ θεμέλιοι τοῦ τείχους τῆς πόλεως παντὶ λίθῳ τιμίῳ κεκοσμημένοι· ὁ θεμέλιος ὁ πρῶτος ἴασπις, ὁ δεύτερος σάπφειρος, ὁ τρίτος χαλκηδών, ὁ τέταρτος σμάραγδος,

И҆ ѡ҆снова̑нїѧ стѣны̀ гра́да всѧ́кимъ драги́мъ ка́менїемъ ᲂу҆кра́шєна бѧ́хꙋ: ѡ҆снова́нїе пе́рвое і҆а́спїсъ, второ́е сапфі́ръ, тре́тїе халкидѡ́нъ, четве́ртое смара́гдъ,

20

The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

ὁ πέμπτος σαρδόνυξ, ὁ ἕκτος σάρδιον, ὁ ἕβδομος χρυσόλιθος, ὁ ὄγδοος βήρυλλος, ὁ ἔνατος τοπάζιον, ὁ δέκατος χρυσόπρασος, ὁ ἑνδέκατος ὑάκινθος, ὁ δωδέκατος ἀμέθυστος.

пѧ́тое сардо́нѷѯъ, шесто́е са́рдїй, седмо́е хрѷсо́лїѳъ, ѻ҆смо́е вирѵ́ллъ, девѧ́тое топа́зїй, десѧ́тое хрѷсо́прасъ, первоена́десѧть ѵ҆акі́нѳъ, второена́десѧть а҆меѳѵ́стъ.

21

And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

καὶ οἱ δώδεκα πυλῶνες δώδεκα μαργαρῖται· ἀνὰ εἷς ἕκαστος τῶν πυλώνων ἦν ἐξ ἑνὸς μαργαρίτου. καὶ ἡ πλατεῖα τῆς πόλεως χρυσίον καθαρὸν ὡς ὕαλος διαυγής.

И҆ двана́десѧть вра́тъ двана́десѧть би́серѡвъ: є҆ди̑на ка̑ѧждо врата̀ бѣ́ша ѿ є҆ди́нагѡ би́сера. И҆ стѡ́гны гра́да зла́то чи́сто, ꙗ҆́кѡ сткло̀ пресвѣ́тло.

22

And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

Καὶ ναὸν οὐκ εἶδον ἐν αὐτῇ· ὁ γὰρ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ ναὸς αὐτῆς ἐστι, καὶ τὸ ἀρνίον.

И҆ хра́ма не ви́дѣхъ въ не́мъ: гдⷭ҇ь бо бг҃ъ Вседержи́тель хра́мъ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆́сть, и҆ а҆́гнецъ.

23

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

καὶ ἡ πόλις οὐ χρείαν ἔχει τοῦ ἡλίου οὐδὲ τῆς σελήνης ἵνα φαίνωσιν αὐτῇ· ἡ γὰρ δόξα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐφώτισεν αὐτήν, καὶ ὁ λύχνος αὐτῆς τὸ ἀρνίον.

И҆ гра́дъ не тре́бꙋѧ со́лнца и҆ лꙋны̀, да свѣ́тѧтъ въ не́мъ, сла́ва бо бж҃їѧ просвѣтѝ є҆го̀, и҆ свѣти́льникъ є҆гѡ̀ а҆́гнецъ.

24

And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

καὶ περιπατήσουσι τὰ ἔθνη διὰ τοῦ φωτὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς φέρουσι τὴν δόξαν καὶ τὴν τιμὴν αὐτῶν εἰς αὐτήν,

И҆ ꙗ҆зы́цы сп҃се́ни во свѣ́тѣ є҆гѡ̀ по́йдꙋтъ, и҆ ца́рїе зе́мстїи принесꙋ́тъ сла́вꙋ и҆ че́сть свою̀ въ него̀.

25

And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

καὶ οἱ πυλῶνες αὐτῆς οὐ μὴ κλεισθῶσιν ἡμέρας· νὺξ γὰρ οὐκ ἔσται ἐκεῖ·

И҆ врата̀ є҆гѡ̀ не и҆́мꙋтъ затвори́тисѧ во днѝ: но́щи бо не бꙋ́детъ тꙋ̀.

26

And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

καὶ οἴσουσι τὴν δόξαν καὶ τὴν τιμὴν τῶν ἐθνῶν εἰς αὐτήν.

И҆ принесꙋ́тъ сла́вꙋ и҆ че́сть ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ въ него̀:

27

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτὴν πᾶν κοινὸν καὶ ὁ ποιῶν βδέλυγμα καὶ ψεῦδος, εἰ μὴ οἱ γεγραμμένοι ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τῆς ζωῆς τοῦ ἀρνίου.

и҆ не и҆́мать въ него̀ вни́ти всѧ́ко скве́рно, и҆ творѧ́й ме́рзость и҆ лжꙋ̀, но то́кмѡ напи̑саныѧ въ кни́гахъ живо́тныхъ а҆́гнца.
