Notes on this text (1)
- Includes the books not found in the Hebrew Bible (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, 1–3 Maccabees, 2 and 3 Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh), as in the Synodal editions.
1 И увидел я новое небо и новую землю, ибо прежнее небо и прежняя земля миновали, и моря уже нет.
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 И я, Иоанн, увидел святый город Иерусалим, новый, сходящий от Бога с неба, приготовленный как невеста, украшенная для мужа своего.
2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 И услышал я громкий голос с неба, говорящий: се, скиния Бога с человеками, и Он будет обитать с ними; они будут Его народом, и Сам Бог с ними будет Богом их.
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 И отрет Бог всякую слезу с очей их, и смерти не будет уже; ни плача, ни вопля, ни болезни уже не будет, ибо прежнее прошло.
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 И сказал Сидящий на престоле: се, творю все новое. И говорит мне: напиши; ибо слова сии истинны и верны.
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 И сказал мне: совершилось! Я есмь Альфа и Омега, начало и конец; жаждущему дам даром от источника воды живой.
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 Побеждающий наследует все, и буду ему Богом, и он будет Мне сыном.
7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.
8 Боязливых же и неверных, и скверных и убийц, и любодеев и чародеев, и идолослужителей и всех лжецов участь в озере, горящем огнем и серою. Это смерть вторая.
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 И пришел ко мне один из семи Ангелов, у которых было семь чаш, наполненных семью последними язвами, и сказал мне: пойди, я покажу тебе жену, невесту Агнца.
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 И вознес меня в духе на великую и высокую гору, и показал мне великий город, святый Иерусалим, который нисходил с неба от Бога.
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 Он имеет славу Божию. Светило его подобно драгоценнейшему камню, как бы камню яспису кристалловидному.
11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 Он имеет большую и высокую стену, имеет двенадцать ворот и на них двенадцать Ангелов; на воротах написаны имена двенадцати колен сынов Израилевых:
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 с востока трое ворот, с севера трое ворот, с юга трое ворот, с запада трое ворот.
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 Стена города имеет двенадцать оснований, и на них имена двенадцати Апостолов Агнца.
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
15 Говоривший со мною имел золотую трость для измерения города и ворот его и стены его.
15 He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.
16 Город расположен четвероугольником, и длина его такая же, как и широта. И измерил он город тростью на двенадцать тысяч стадий; длина и широта и высота его равны.
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 И стену его измерил во сто сорок четыре локтя, мерою человеческою, какова мера и Ангела.
17 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
18 Стена его построена из ясписа, а город был чистое золото, подобен чистому стеклу.
18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.
19 Основания стены города украшены всякими драгоценными камнями: основание первое яспис, второе сапфир, третье халкидон, четвертое смарагд,
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 пятое сардоникс, шестое сердолик, седьмое хризолит, восьмое вирилл, девятое топаз, десятое хризопрас, одиннадцатое гиацинт, двенадцатое аметист.
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 А двенадцать ворот — двенадцать жемчужин: каждые ворота были из одной жемчужины. Улица города — чистое золото, как прозрачное стекло.
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 Храма же я не видел в нем, ибо Господь Бог Вседержитель — храм его, и Агнец.
22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 И город не имеет нужды ни в солнце, ни в луне для освещения своего, ибо слава Божия осветила его, и светильник его — Агнец.
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 Спасенные народы будут ходить во свете его, и цари земные принесут в него славу и честь свою.
24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
25 Ворота его не будут запираться днем; а ночи там не будет.
25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
26 И принесут в него славу и честь народов.
26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.
27 И не войдет в него ничто нечистое и никто преданный мерзости и лжи, а только те, которые написаны у Агнца в книге жизни.
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 …
… everlasting punishment," it remains that he explain the connected words, "but the righteous into life eternal." "And I saw," he says, "a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away; and there is no more sea." This will take place in the order which he has by anticipation declared in the …

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.
