Revelation 21

Authored by: American Standard Version
21:1
Και ειδον ουρανον καινον και γην καινην ο γαρ πρωτος ουρανος και η πρωτη γη απηλθαν και η θαλασσα ουκ εστιν ετι
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more.
21:2
και την πολιν την αγιαν Ιερουσαλημ καινην ειδον καταβαινουσαν εκ του ουρανου απο του Θεου ητοιμασμενην ως νυμφην κεκοσμημενην τω ανδρι αυτης
And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
21:3
Και ηκουσα φωνης μεγαλης εκ του θρονου λεγουσης Ιδου η σκηνη του Θεου μετα των ανθρωπων και σκηνωσει μετ αυτων και αυτοι λαοι αυτου εσονται και αυτος ο Θεος μετ αυτων εσται αυτων θεος
And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God:
21:4
και εξαλειψει παν δακρυον εκ των οφθαλμων αυτων και ο θανατος ουκ εσται ετι ουτε πενθος ουτε κραυγη ουτε πονος ουκ εσται ετι οτι τα πρωτα απηλθαν
and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed away.

21:5
Και ειπεν ο καθημενος επι τω θρονω Ιδου καινα ποιω παντα και λεγει Γραψον οτι ουτοι οι λογοι πιστοι και αληθινοι εισιν
And he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith, Write: for these words are faithful and true.
21:6
και ειπεν μοι Γεγοναν εγω ειμι το Αλφα και το Ω η αρχη και το τελος εγω τω διψωντι δωσω εκ της πηγης του υδατος της ζωης δωρεαν
And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
21:7
ο νικων κληρονομησει ταυτα και εσομαι αυτω Θεος και αυτος εσται μοι υιος
He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
21:8
Τοις δε δειλοις και απιστοις και εβδελυγμενοις και φονευσιν και πορνοις και φαρμακοις και ειδωλολατραις και πασιν τοις ψευδεσιν το μερος αυτων εν τη λιμνη τη καιομενη πυρι και θειω ο εστιν ο θανατος ο δευτερος
But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
21:9
Και ηλθεν εις εκ των επτα αγγελων των εχοντων τας επτα φιαλας των γεμοντων των επτα πληγων των εσχατων και ελαλησεν μετ εμου λεγων Δευρο δειξω σοι την νυμφην την γυναικα του αρνιου
And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
21:10
Και απηνεγκεν με εν Πνευματι επι ορος μεγα και υψηλον και εδειξεν μοι την πολιν την αγιαν Ιερουσαλημ καταβαινουσαν εκ του ουρανου απο του Θεου
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
21:11
εχουσαν την δοξαν του Θεου ο φωστηρ αυτης ομοιος λιθω τιμιωτατω ως λιθω ιασπιδι κρυσταλλιζοντι
having the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal:
21:12
εχουσα τειχος μεγα και υψηλον εχουσα πυλωνας δωδεκα και επι τοις πυλωσιν αγγελους δωδεκα και ονοματα επιγεγραμμενα α εστιν τα ονοματα των δωδεκα φυλων υιων Ισραηλ
having a wall great and high; having 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:
21:13
απο ανατολης πυλωνες τρεις και απο βορρα πυλωνες τρεις και απο νοτου πυλωνες τρεις και απο δυσμων πυλωνες τρεις
on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
21:14
και το τειχος της πολεως εχων θεμελιους δωδεκα και επ αυτων δωδεκα ονοματα των δωδεκα αποστολων του Αρνιου
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
21:15
Και ο λαλων μετ εμου ειχεν μετρον καλαμον χρυσουν ινα μετρηση την πολιν και τους πυλωνας αυτης και το τειχος αυτης
And he that spake with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
21:16
και η πολις τετραγωνος κειται και το μηκος αυτης οσον και το πλατος και εμετρησεν την πολιν τω καλαμω επι σταδιων δωδεκα χιλιαδων το μηκος και το πλατος και το υψος αυτης ισα εστιν
And the city lieth foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: the length and the breadth and the height thereof are equal.
21:17
και εμετρησεν το τειχος αυτης εκατον τεσσερακοντα τεσσαρων πηχων μετρον ανθρωπου ο εστιν αγγελου
And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
21:18
Και η ενδωμησις του τειχους αυτης ιασπις και η πολις χρυσιον καθαρον ομοιον υαλω καθαρω
And the building of the wall thereof was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto pure glass.
21:19
οι θεμελιοι του τειχους της πολεως παντι λιθω τιμιω κεκοσμημενοι ο θεμελιος ο πρωτος ιασπις ο δευτερος σαπφιρος ο τριτος χαλκηδων ο τεταρτος σμαραγδος
The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
21:20
ο πεμπτος σαρδονυξ ο εκτος σαρδιον ο εβδομος χρυσολιθος ο ογδοος βηρυλλος ο ενατος τοπαζιον ο δεκατος χρυσοπρασος ο ενδεκατος υακινθος ο δωδεκατος αμεθυστος
the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
21:21
Και οι δωδεκα πυλωνες δωδεκα μαργαριται ανα εις εκαστος των πυλωνων ην εξ ενος μαργαριτου και η πλατεια της πολεως χρυσιον καθαρον ως υαλος διαυγης
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the several gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
21:22
Και ναον ουκ ειδον εν αυτη ο γαρ Κυριος ο Θεος ο Παντοκρατωρ ναος αυτης εστιν και το Αρνιον
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof.
21:23
και η πολις ου χρειαν εχει του ηλιου ουδε της σεληνης ινα φαινωσιν αυτη η γαρ δοξα του Θεου εφωτισεν αυτην και ο λυχνος αυτης το Αρνιον
And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine upon it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp thereof is the Lamb.
21:24
και περιπατησουσιν τα εθνη δια του φωτος αυτης και οι βασιλεις της γης φερουσιν την δοξαν αυτων εις αυτην
And the nations shall walk amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it.
21:25
και οι πυλωνες αυτης ου μη κλεισθωσιν ημερας νυξ γαρ ουκ εσται εκει
And the gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there):
21:26
Και οισουσιν την δοξαν και την τιμην των εθνων εις αυτην
and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it:
21:27
και ου μη εισελθη εις αυτην παν κοινον και ο ποιων βδελυγμα και ψευδος ει μη οι γεγραμμενοι εν τω βιβλιω της ζωης του Αρνιου
and there shall in no wise enter into it anything unclean, or he that maketh an abomination and a lie: but only they that are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
