WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Entonces vi un nuevo cielo y una nueva tierra, porque la tierra, el mar y el cielo que conocemos desaparecieron.
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 Y vi la ciudad santa, la nueva Jerusalén, descender del cielo, de donde estaba Dios. Tenía la apariencia gloriosa y bella de una novia.
2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Oí entonces que una potente voz gritaba desde el trono: «La casa de Dios está ahora entre los seres humanos, y él vivirá con ellos. Ellos serán su pueblo y Dios mismo estará con ellos, y será su Dios.
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 Él les enjugará las lágrimas y no habrá muerte ni llanto ni clamor ni dolor, porque estos pertenecen a un pasado que no existe más».
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 Y el que estaba sentado en el trono dijo: «Yo hago nuevas todas las cosas». Luego me dijo: «Escribe, porque lo que te digo es digno de crédito y verdadero.
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 »¡Hecho está! ¡Yo soy la A y la Z, el principio y el fin! ¡Al sediento le daré a beber gratuitamente del manantial del agua de la vida!
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 El que salga vencedor heredará estas bendiciones 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 Pero los cobardes, los incrédulos, los corruptos, los asesinos, los que cometen inmoralidades sexuales, los que practican la brujería, los que adoran ídolos y los mentirosos, serán arrojados al lago que arde con fuego y azufre, que es la segunda muerte».
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 Entonces uno de los siete ángeles que habían derramado las copas que contenían las siete últimas plagas, vino y me dijo: «Ven y te presentaré a la novia, la esposa 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 Me llevó en el Espíritu a la cumbre de un monte alto, y desde allí contemplé una ciudad que bajaba del cielo, de delante de Dios. Era la santa Jerusalén.
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 Brillaba con la gloria de Dios, resplandecía como piedra preciosísima, como piedra de jaspe, diáfana como el cristal.
11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 Sus murallas eran amplias y altas, y doce ángeles custodiaban sus doce puertas. Los nombres de las doce tribus de Israel estaban escritos en las puertas.
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 Había tres puertas en el lado norte, tres en el sur, tres en el este y tres en el oeste.
13 On the east were three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
14 Doce piedras constituían los cimientos de la muralla, y en cada una de ellas estaba escrito el nombre de uno 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 El ángel traía en la mano una vara de oro para medir la ciudad, sus puertas y sus murallas.
15 He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.
16 La ciudad era completamente cuadrada. Su largo era igual a su ancho; su alto era exactamente igual al largo y al ancho: dos mil doscientos kilómetros.
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 La muralla tenía un espesor de sesenta y cinco metros. El ángel utilizaba medidas humanas.
17 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
18 La ciudad misma era de oro puro, transparente como el vidrio. La muralla era de jaspe.
18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.
19 Las doce piedras de sus cimientos estaban adornadas con piedras preciosas; la primera con jaspe, la segunda con zafiro, la tercera con ágata, la cuarta con esmeralda,
19 The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
20 la quinta con ónice, la sexta con cornalina, la séptima con crisólito, la octava con berilo, la novena con topacio, la décima con crisoprasa, la undécima con jacinto y la duodécima con amatista.
20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
21 Cada una de las doce puertas era una perla, y la calle principal de la ciudad era de oro puro, transparente como un cristal.
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 No vi en la ciudad templo alguno, porque el Señor Dios Todopoderoso y el Cordero son su templo.
22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 La ciudad no necesita que el sol ni la luna la alumbren, porque la gloria de Dios la ilumina y el Cordero es 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 Su luz iluminará a las naciones de la tierra y los gobernantes del mundo le llevarán sus gloriosas riquezas.
24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
25 Sus puertas jamás estarán cerradas, pues allí no existe la noche.
25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
26 La gloria y las riquezas de las naciones irán a ella.
26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.
27 No entrará en ella nada impuro, ni los idólatras ni los mentirosos; solamente los que están inscritos 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.

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 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.
