¹天使又指示我一道明亮如水晶的生命水的河流，从　神和羊羔的宝座那里流出来，

¹And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, going forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb:

²经过城里的街道。河的两边有生命树，结十二次果子，每月都结果子；树叶可以医治列国。

²in the midst of its broad place, and of the river on this side and on that, [is] a tree of life, yielding twelve fruits, in each several month rendering its fruits, and the leaves of the tree [are] for the service of the nations;

³所有咒诅都不再有了。城里有　神和羊羔的宝座，他的仆人都要事奉他，

³and any curse there shall not be any more, and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him,

⁴也要见他的面。他的名字必写在他们的额上。

⁴and they shall see His face, and His name [is] upon their foreheads,

⁵不再有黑夜了，他们也不需要灯光或日光了，因为主　神要光照他们。他们要作王，直到永永远远。

⁵and night shall not be there, and they have no need of a lamp and light of a sun, because the Lord God doth give them light, and they shall reign — to the ages of the ages.

⁶耶稣再来天使对我说：“这些话是可信的、真实的！主，就是众先知之灵的　神，差遣了他的天使，把那快要发生的事，指示他的仆人。”

⁶And he said to me, `These words [are] stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly:

⁷“看哪！我必快来！那遵守这书上预言的人是有福的！”

⁷Lo, I come quickly; happy [is] he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.`

⁸听见又看见了这些事的，就是我约翰。我听见又看见了之后，就俯伏在指示我这些事的天使脚前要拜他。

⁸And I, John, am he who is seeing these things and hearing, and when I heard and beheld, I fell down to bow before the feet of the messenger who is shewing me these things;

⁹他对我说：“千万不可以这样！我和你，以及你的弟兄众先知，还有那些遵守这书上的话的人，都是同作仆人的。你应当敬拜　神。”

⁹and he saith to me, `See — not; for fellow-servant of thee am I, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those keeping the words of this scroll; before God bow.`

¹⁰他又对我说：“不要封住这书上的预言，因为时候近了。

¹⁰And he saith to me, `Thou mayest not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is nigh;

¹¹不义的，要他仍旧不义；污秽的，要他仍旧污秽；行义的，要他仍旧行义；圣洁的，要他仍旧圣洁。”

¹¹he who is unrighteous — let him be unrighteous still, and he who is filthy — let him be filthy still, and he who is righteous — let him be declared righteous still, and he who is sanctified — let him be sanctified still:

¹²“看哪，我必快来！赏赐在我，我要照着各人所行的报应他。

¹²And lo, I come quickly, and my reward [is] with me, to render to each as his work shall be;

¹³我是阿拉法，是俄梅格；我是首先的，也是末后的；我是创始的，也是成终的。”

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

¹⁴那些洗净自己袍子的人是有福的！他们可以有权到生命树那里，也可以从门进到城里。

¹⁴`Happy are those doing His commands that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of the life, and by the gates they may enter into the city;

¹⁵在城外，有那些狗，那些行邪术的、淫乱的、杀人的、拜偶像的，以及所有喜爱说谎的和实行说谎的人。

¹⁵and without [are] the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving and is doing a lie.

¹⁶“差遣了我的使者、为众教会向你们证明这些事的，就是我耶稣。我是大卫的根，又是他的后裔，我是明亮的晨星。”

¹⁶`I, Jesus did send my messenger to testify to you these things concerning the assemblies; I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star!

¹⁷圣灵和新娘都说：“来！”听见的人也要说：“来！”口渴的人也要来！愿意的人都要白白接受生命的水！

¹⁷And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come; and he who is hearing — let him say, Come; and he who is thirsting — let him come; and he who is willing — let him take the water of life freely.

¹⁸我警告所有听见这书上预言的人：如果有人在这些预言上加添什么，　神必把写在这书上的灾难加在他身上。

¹⁸`For I testify to every one hearing the words of the prophecy of this scroll, if any one may add unto these, God shall add to him the plagues that have been written in this scroll,

¹⁹如果有人从这书上的预言删减什么，　神必从这书上所记的生命树和圣城删去他的分。

¹⁹and if any one may take away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the scroll of the life, and out of the holy city, and the things that have been written in this scroll;`

²⁰证明这些事的那一位说：“是的，我必快来！”阿们！主耶稣啊，请你来吧！

²⁰he saith — who is testifying these things — `Yes, I come quickly!` Amen! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus!

²¹愿主耶稣的恩惠与所有的圣徒同在！阿们！

²¹The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all. Amen.
