WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 και ειδον ουρανον καινον και γην καινην· ο γαρ πρωτος ουρανος και η πρωτη γη απηλθον, και η θαλασσα ουκ εστιν ετι.
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 και την πολιν την αγιαν ιερουσαλημ καινην ειδον καταβαινουσαν εκ του ουρανου απο του θεου, ητοιμασμενην ως νυμφην κεκοσμημενην τω ανδρι αυτης.
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 και ηκουσα φωνης μεγαλης εκ του ουρανου λεγουσης· ιδου η σκηνη του θεου μετα των ανθρωπων, και σκηνωσει μετ αυτων, και αυτοι λαος αυτου εσονται, και αυτος ο θεος μετ αυτων εσται,
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 και εξαλειψει [απ αυτων] ο θεος παν δακρυον απο των οφθαλμων αυτων, και ο θανατος ουκ εσται ετι, ουτε πενθος ουτε κραυγη ουτε πονος ουκ εσται ετι· οτι τα πρωτα απηλθον.
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 και ειπεν ο καθημενος επι τω θρονω· ιδου καινα ποιω παντα. και λεγει [μοι]· γραψον, οτι ουτοι οι λογοι πιστοι και αληθινοι εισιν.
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 και ειπεν μοι· γεγονεν. εγω το α και το ω, η αρχη και το τελος. εγω τω διψωντι δωσω εκ της πηγης του υδατος της ζωης δωρεαν.
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 ο νικων, εσται αυτω ταυτα, και εσομαι αυτω θεος και αυτος εσται μοι υιος.
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 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 εν πυρι και θειω, ο εστιν ο θανατος ο δευτερος.
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 και ηλθεν εις των επτα αγγελων των εχοντων τας επτα φιαλας τας γεμουσας των επτα πληγων των εσχατων, και ελαλησεν μετ εμου λεγων· δευρο δειξω σοι την νυμφην την γυναικα του αρνιου.
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 και απηνεγκεν με εν πνευματι επ ορος μεγα και υψηλον, και εδειξεν μοι την πολιν την αγιαν ιερουσαλημ καταβαινουσαν εκ του ουρανου απο του θεου,
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 εχουσαν την δοξαν του θεου· ο φωστηρ αυτης ομοιος λιθω τιμιωτατω, ως λιθω ιασπιδι κρυσταλλιζοντι·
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 εχουσα τειχος μεγα και υψηλον, εχουσα πυλωνας δωδεκα, και επι τοις πυλωσιν αγγελους δωδεκα, και ονοματα επιγεγραμμενα, α εστιν [ονοματα] των δωδεκα φυλων των υιων ισραηλ.
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 απ ανατολων πυλωνες τρεις, και απο βορρα πυλωνες τρεις, και απο νοτου πυλωνες τρεις, και απο δυσμων πυλωνες τρεις.
13 Al oriente tres puertas; al norte tres puertas; al mediodía tres puertas; al poniente tres puertas.
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 και το τειχος της πολεως εχον θεμελιους δωδεκα, και επ αυτων δωδεκα ονοματα των δωδεκα αποστολων του αρνιου.
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 και ο λαλων μετ εμου ειχεν μετρον καλαμον χρυσουν, ινα μετρηση την πολιν και τους πυλωνας αυτης και το τειχος αυτης.
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 και η πολις τετραγωνος κειται, και το μηκος αυτης οσον [και] το πλατος. και εμετρησεν την πολιν [εν] τω καλαμω επι σταδιους δωδεκα χιλιαδων· το μηκος και το πλατος και το υψος αυτης ισα εστιν.
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 και εμετρησεν το τειχος αυτης εκατον τεσσαρακοντα τεσσαρων πηχων, μετρον ανθρωπου, ο εστιν αγγελου.
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 και ην η ενδομησις του τειχους αυτης ιασπις, και η πολις χρυσιον καθαρον, ομοιον υαλω καθαρω.
18 Y el material de su muro era de jaspe: mas la ciudad era de oro puro, semejante al vidrio limpio.
18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.
19 οι θεμελιοι του τειχους της πολεως παντι λιθω τιμιω κεκοσμημενοι· ο θεμελιος ο πρωτος ιασπις, ο δευτερος σαπφειρος, ο τριτος χαλκηδων, ο τεταρτος σμαραγδος,
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;
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 ο πεμπτος σαρδονυξ, ο εκτος σαρδιον, ο εβδομος χρυσολιθος, ο ογδοος βηρυλλος, ο ενατος τοπαζιον, ο δεκατος χρυσοπρασος, ο ενδεκατος υακινθος, ο δωδεκατος αμεθυστος.
20 El quinto, sardónica; el sexto, sardio; el séptimo, crisólito; el octavo, berilo; el nono, topacio; el décimo, crisopraso; el undécimo, jacinto; el duodécimo, 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 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.
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 και ναον ουκ ειδον εν αυτη· ο γαρ κυριος ο θεος ο παντοκρατωρ ναος αυτης εστιν, και το αρνιον.
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 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.
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 και περιπατησουσιν τα εθνη δια του φωτος αυτης, και οι βασιλεις της γης φερουσιν την δοξαν και [την] τιμην αυτων εις αυτην,
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 και οι πυλωνες αυτης ου μη κλεισθωσιν ημερας· νυξ γαρ ουκ εσται εκει·
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 και οισουσιν την δοξαν και την τιμην των εθνων εις αυτην.
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 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.
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.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“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.
