Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 И҆ ви́дѣхъ не́бо но́во и҆ зе́млю но́вꙋ: пе́рвое бо не́бо и҆ землѧ̀ пе́рваѧ преидо́ста, и҆ мо́рѧ нѣ́сть ктомꙋ̀.
1 Y VI un cielo nuevo, y una tierra nueva: porque el primer cielo y la primera tierra se fueron, y el mar ya no es.
1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.
2 И҆ а҆́зъ і҆ѡа́ннъ ви́дѣхъ гра́дъ ст҃ы́й, і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ но́въ сходѧ́щь ѿ бг҃а съ небесѐ, пригото́ванъ ꙗ҆́кѡ невѣ́стꙋ ᲂу҆кра́шенꙋ мꙋ́жꙋ своемꙋ̀.
2 Y yo Juan vi la santa ciudad, Jerusalem nueva, que descendía del cielo, de Dios, dispuesta como una esposa ataviada para su marido.
2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 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:
3 Y oí una gran voz del cielo que decía: He aquí el tabernáculo de Dios con los hombres, y morará con ellos; y ellos serán su pueblo, y el mismo Dios será su Dios con ellos.
3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people; and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
4 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.
4 Y limpiará Dios toda lágrima de los ojos de ellos; y la muerte no será más; y no habrá más llanto, ni clamor, ni dolor: porque las primeras cosas son pasadas.
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more. The first things have passed away.”
5 И҆ речѐ сѣдѧ́й на прⷭ҇то́лѣ: сѐ, нова̑ всѧ̑ творю̀. И҆ гл҃а мѝ: напишѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сїѧ̑ словеса̀ и҆́стинна и҆ вѣ̑рна сꙋ́ть.
5 Y el que estaba sentado en el trono dijo: He aquí, yo hago nuevas todas las cosas. Y me dijo: Escribe; porque estas palabras son fieles y verdaderas.
5 He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.”
6 И҆ рече́ ми: соверши́шасѧ. А҆́зъ є҆́смь а҆́лфа и҆ ѡ҆ме́га, нача́токъ и҆ коне́цъ: а҆́зъ жа́ждꙋщемꙋ да́мъ ѿ и҆сто́чника воды̀ живо́тныѧ тꙋ́не.
6 Y díjome: Hecho es. Yo soy Alpha y Omega, el principio y el fin. Al que tuviere sed, yo le daré de la fuente del agua de vida gratuitamente.
6 He said to me, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.
7 Побѣжда́ѧй наслѣ́дитъ всѧ̑, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ бг҃ъ, и҆ то́й бꙋ́детъ мнѣ̀ въ сы́на.
7 El que venciere, poseerá todas las cosas; y yo seré su Dios, y él será mi hijo.
7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.
8 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.
8 Mas á los temerosos é incrédulos, á los abominables y homicidas, á los fornicarios y hechiceros, y á los idólatras, y á todos los mentirosos, su parte [será] en el lago ardiendo con fuego y azufre, que es la muerte segunda.
8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
9 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.
9 Y vino á mí uno de los siete ángeles que tenían las siete copas llenas de las siete postreras plagas, y habló conmigo, diciendo: Ven acá, yo te mostraré la esposa, mujer del Cordero.
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls which were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”
10 И҆ веде́ мѧ дꙋ́хомъ на горꙋ̀ вели́кꙋ и҆ высокꙋ̀ и҆ показа́ ми гра́дъ вели́кїй, ст҃ы́й і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ низходѧ́щь съ небесѐ ѿ бг҃а,
10 Y llevóme en Espíritu á un grande y alto monte, y me mostró la grande ciudad santa de Jerusalem, que descendía del cielo de Dios,
10 He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 и҆мꙋ́щь сла́вꙋ бж҃їю: и҆ свѣти́ло є҆гѡ̀ подо́бно ка́мени драго́мꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ка́мени і҆а́спїсꙋ крѷсталлови́днꙋ:
11 Teniendo la claridad de Dios: y su luz era semejante á una piedra preciosísima, como piedra de jaspe, resplandeciente como cristal.
11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 и҆мꙋ́щь стѣ́нꙋ вели́кꙋ и҆ высокꙋ̀, и҆мꙋ́щь вра́тъ двана́десѧть, и҆ на вратѣ́хъ а҆́гг҃лѡвъ двана́десѧть и҆ и҆мена̀ напи̑сана, ꙗ҆̀же сꙋ́ть и҆мена̀ двана́десѧтимъ колѣ́нѡмъ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ:
12 Y tenía un muro grande y alto con doce puertas; y en las puertas, doce ángeles, y nombres escritos, que son [los] de las doce tribus de los hijos de Israel.
12 having a great and high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
13 ѿ восто́ка врата̀ тро́ѧ и҆ ѿ сѣ́вера врата̀ тро́ѧ, ѿ ю҆́га врата̀ тро́ѧ и҆ ѿ за́пада врата̀ тро́ѧ.
13 Al oriente tres puertas; al norte tres puertas; al mediodía tres puertas; al poniente tres puertas.

14 Y el muro de la ciudad tenía doce fundamentos, y en ellos los doce nombres de los doce apóstoles del Cordero.
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
15 И҆ глаго́лѧй со мно́ю и҆мѣ́ѧше тро́сть зла́тꙋ, да и҆змѣ́ритъ гра́дъ и҆ врата̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ стѣ́ны є҆гѡ̀.
15 Y el que hablaba conmigo, tenía una medida de una caña de oro para medir la ciudad, y sus puertas, y su muro.
15 He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.
16 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.
16 Y la ciudad está situada y puesta en cuadro, y su largura es tanta como su anchura: y él midió la ciudad con la caña, doce mil estadios: la largura y la altura y la anchura de ella son iguales.
16 The city is square. Its length is as great as its width. He measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand twelve stadia. Its length, width, and height are equal.
17 И҆ размѣ́ри стѣ́нꙋ є҆гѡ̀ во сто̀ и҆ четы́ридесѧть и҆ четы́ри ла̑кти, въ мѣ́рꙋ человѣ́ческꙋ, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть а҆́гг҃ла.
17 Y midió su muro, ciento cuarenta y cuatro codos, de medida de hombre, la cual es del ángel.
17 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
18 И҆ бѣ̀ созда́нїе стѣны̀ є҆гѡ̀ і҆а́спїсъ: и҆ гра́дъ зла́то чи́сто, подо́бенъ стклꙋ̀ чи́стꙋ.
18 Y el material de su muro era de jaspe: mas la ciudad era de oro puro, semejante al vidrio limpio.

19 И҆ ѡ҆снова̑нїѧ стѣны̀ гра́да всѧ́кимъ драги́мъ ка́менїемъ ᲂу҆кра́шєна бѧ́хꙋ: ѡ҆снова́нїе пе́рвое і҆а́спїсъ, второ́е сапфі́ръ, тре́тїе халкидѡ́нъ, четве́ртое смара́гдъ,
19 Y los fundamentos del muro de la ciudad estaban adornados de toda piedra preciosa. El primer fundamento era jaspe; el segundo, zafiro; el tercero, calcedonia; el cuarto, esmeralda;

21 Y las doce puertas eran doce perlas, en cada una, una; cada puerta era de una perla. Y la plaza de la ciudad era de oro puro como vidrio trasparente.
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 И҆ хра́ма не ви́дѣхъ въ не́мъ: гдⷭ҇ь бо бг҃ъ вседержи́тель хра́мъ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆́сть, и҆ а҆́гнецъ.
22 Y no vi en ella templo; porque el Señor Dios Todopoderoso es el templo de ella, y el Cordero.
22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 И҆ гра́дъ не тре́бꙋѧ со́лнца и҆ лꙋны̀, да свѣ́тѧтъ въ не́мъ, сла́ва бо бж҃їѧ просвѣтѝ є҆го̀, и҆ свѣти́льникъ є҆гѡ̀ а҆́гнецъ.
23 Y la ciudad no tenía necesidad de sol, ni de luna, para que resplandezcan en ella: porque la claridad de Dios la iluminó, y el Cordero [era] su lumbrera.
23 The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb.
24 И҆ ꙗ҆зы́цы сп҃се́ни во свѣ́тѣ є҆гѡ̀ по́йдꙋтъ, и҆ ца́рїе зе́мстїи принесꙋ́тъ сла́вꙋ и҆ че́сть свою̀ въ него̀.
24 Y las naciones que hubieren sido salvas andarán en la lumbre de ella: y los reyes de la tierra traerán su gloria y honor á ella.
24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
25 И҆ врата̀ є҆гѡ̀ не и҆́мꙋтъ затвори́тисѧ во днѝ: но́щи бо не бꙋ́детъ тꙋ̀.
25 Y sus puertas nunca serán cerradas de día, porque allí no habrá noche.
25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
26 И҆ принесꙋ́тъ сла́вꙋ и҆ че́сть ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ въ него̀:
26 Y llevarán la gloria y la honra de las naciones á ella.
26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.
27 и҆ не и҆́мать въ него̀ вни́ти всѧ́ко скве́рно, и҆ творѧ́й ме́рзость и҆ лжꙋ̀, но то́кмѡ напи̑саныѧ въ кни́гахъ живо́тныхъ а҆́гнца.
27 No entrará en ella ninguna cosa sucia, ó que hace abominación y mentira; sino solamente los que están escritos en el libro de la vida del Cordero.
27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And in the Apocalypse John saw this new [Jerusalem] descending upon the new earth. For after the times of the kingdom, he says, "I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat upon it, from whose face the earth fled away, and the heavens; and there was no more place for them." And he sets forth, too, the things …

And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, because the former things have passed away." Isaiah also declares the very same: "For there shall be a new heaven and a new earth; and there shall be no remembrance of the former, …
And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new." This city is said to come down out of heaven, because the grace with which God formed it is of heaven.
