¹ τότε συνεκάλεσεν ἰησοῦς τοὺς υἱοὺς ρουβην καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς γαδ καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς μανασση

² καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς ἀκηκόατε πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο ὑμῖν μωυσῆς ὁ παῖς κυρίου καὶ ἐπηκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς μου κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην ὑμῖν

³ οὐκ ἐγκαταλελοίπατε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὑμῶν ταύτας τὰς ἡμέρας καὶ πλείους ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας ἐφυλάξασθε τὴν ἐντολὴν κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν

⁴ νῦν δὲ κατέπαυσεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ἡμῶν ὃν τρόπον εἶπεν αὐτοῖς νῦν οὖν ἀποστραφέντες ἀπέλθατε εἰς τοὺς οἴκους ὑμῶν καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν τῆς κατασχέσεως ὑμῶν ἣν ἔδωκεν ὑμῖν μωυσῆς ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ ιορδάνου

⁵ ἀλλὰ φυλάξασθε ποιεῖν σφόδρα τὰς ἐντολὰς καὶ τὸν νόμον ὃν ἐνετείλατο ἡμῖν ποιεῖν μωυσῆς ὁ παῖς κυρίου ἀγαπᾶν κύριον τὸν θεὸν ὑμῶν πορεύεσθαι πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ προσκεῖσθαι αὐτῷ καὶ λατρεύειν αὐτῷ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς διανοίας ὑμῶν καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς ὑμῶν

⁶ καὶ ηὐλόγησεν αὐτοὺς ἰησοῦς καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτούς καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν

⁷ καὶ τῷ ἡμίσει φυλῆς μανασση ἔδωκεν μωυσῆς ἐν τῇ βασανίτιδι καὶ τῷ ἡμίσει ἔδωκεν ἰησοῦς μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ ιορδάνου παρὰ θάλασσαν καὶ ἡνίκα ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ἰησοῦς εἰς τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς

⁸ καὶ ἐν χρήμασιν πολλοῖς ἀπήλθοσαν εἰς τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν καὶ κτήνη πολλὰ σφόδρα καὶ ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ σίδηρον καὶ ἱματισμὸν πολύν καὶ διείλαντο τὴν προνομὴν τῶν ἐχθρῶν μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν

⁹ καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ρουβην καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ γαδ καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς υἱῶν μανασση ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν ισραηλ ἐκ σηλω ἐν γῇ χανααν ἀπελθεῖν εἰς γὴν γαλααδ εἰς γῆν κατασχέσεως αὐτῶν ἣν ἐκληρονόμησαν αὐτὴν διὰ προστάγματος κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ μωυσῆ

¹⁰ καὶ ἦλθον εἰς γαλγαλα τοῦ ιορδάνου ἥ ἐστιν ἐν γῇ χανααν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ υἱοὶ γαδ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ρουβην καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς μανασση ἐκεῖ βωμὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ ιορδάνου βωμὸν μέγαν τοῦ ἰδεῖν

¹¹ καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ λεγόντων ἰδοὺ ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ υἱοὶ γαδ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ρουβην καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς μανασση βωμὸν ἐφ' ὁρίων γῆς χανααν ἐπὶ τοῦ γαλααδ τοῦ ιορδάνου ἐν τῷ πέραν υἱῶν ισραηλ

¹² καὶ συνηθροίσθησαν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ εἰς σηλω ὥστε ἀναβάντες ἐκπολεμῆσαι αὐτούς

¹³ καὶ ἀπέστειλαν οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς ρουβην καὶ πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς γαδ καὶ πρὸς τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς μανασση εἰς γῆν γαλααδ τόν τε φινεες υἱὸν ελεαζαρ υἱοῦ ααρων τοῦ ἀρχιερέως

¹⁴ καὶ δέκα τῶν ἀρχόντων μετ' αὐτοῦ ἄρχων εἷς ἀπὸ οἴκου πατριᾶς ἀπὸ πασῶν φυλῶν ισραηλ ἄρχοντες οἴκων πατριῶν εἰσιν χιλίαρχοι ισραηλ

¹⁵ καὶ παρεγένοντο πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς γαδ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς ρουβην καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἡμίσεις φυλῆς μανασση εἰς γῆν γαλααδ καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγοντες

¹⁶ τάδε λέγει πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ κυρίου τίς ἡ πλημμέλεια αὕτη ἣν ἐπλημμελήσατε ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ ισραηλ ἀποστραφῆναι σήμερον ἀπὸ κυρίου οἰκοδομήσαντες ὑμῖν ἑαυτοῖς βωμὸν ἀποστάτας ὑμᾶς γενέσθαι ἀπὸ κυρίου

¹⁷ μὴ μικρὸν ἡμῖν τὸ ἁμάρτημα φογωρ ὅτι οὐκ ἐκαθαρίσθημεν ἀπ' αὐτοῦ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης καὶ ἐγενήθη πληγὴ ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ κυρίου

¹⁸ καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀποστραφήσεσθε σήμερον ἀπὸ κυρίου καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἀποστῆτε σήμερον ἀπὸ κυρίου καὶ αὔριον ἐπὶ πάντα ισραηλ ἔσται ἡ ὀργή

¹⁹ καὶ νῦν εἰ μικρὰ ὑμῖν ἡ γῆ τῆς κατασχέσεως ὑμῶν διάβητε εἰς τὴν γῆν τῆς κατασχέσεως κυρίου οὗ κατασκηνοῖ ἐκεῖ ἡ σκηνὴ κυρίου καὶ κατακληρονομήσατε ἐν ἡμῖν καὶ μὴ ἀποστάται ἀπὸ θεοῦ γενήθητε καὶ μὴ ἀπόστητε ἀπὸ κυρίου διὰ τὸ οἰκοδομῆσαι ὑμᾶς βωμὸν ἔξω τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν

²⁰ οὐκ ἰδοὺ αχαρ ὁ τοῦ ζαρα πλημμελείᾳ ἐπλημμέλησεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀναθέματος καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν ισραηλ ἐγενήθη ὀργή καὶ οὗτος εἷς μόνος ἦν μὴ μόνος οὗτος ἀπέθανεν τῇ ἑαυτοῦ ἁμαρτίᾳ

²¹ καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ρουβην καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ γαδ καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς μανασση καὶ ἐλάλησαν τοῖς χιλιάρχοις ισραηλ λέγοντες

²² ὁ θεὸς θεός ἐστιν κύριος καὶ ὁ θεὸς θεὸς κύριος αὐτὸς οἶδεν καὶ ισραηλ αὐτὸς γνώσεται εἰ ἐν ἀποστασίᾳ ἐπλημμελήσαμεν ἔναντι τοῦ κυρίου μὴ ῥύσαιτο ἡμᾶς ἐν ταύτῃ

²³ καὶ εἰ ᾠκοδομήσαμεν αὑτοῖς βωμὸν ὥστε ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ὥστε ἀναβιβάσαι ἐπ' αὐτὸν θυσίαν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων ἢ ὥστε ποιῆσαι ἐπ' αὐτοῦ θυσίαν σωτηρίου κύριος ἐκζητήσει

²⁴ ἀλλ' ἕνεκεν εὐλαβείας ῥήματος ἐποιήσαμεν τοῦτο λέγοντες ἵνα μὴ εἴπωσιν αὔριον τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν τοῖς τέκνοις ἡμῶν τί ὑμῖν κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ισραηλ

²⁵ καὶ ὅρια ἔθηκεν κύριος ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν καὶ ὑμῶν τὸν ιορδάνην καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὑμῖν μερὶς κυρίου καὶ ἀπαλλοτριώσουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν τοὺς υἱοὺς ἡμῶν ἵνα μὴ σέβωνται κύριον

²⁶ καὶ εἴπαμεν ποιῆσαι οὕτως τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι τὸν βωμὸν τοῦτον οὐχ ἕνεκεν καρπωμάτων οὐδὲ ἕνεκεν θυσιῶν

²⁷ ἀλλ' ἵνα ᾖ τοῦτο μαρτύριον ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν καὶ ὑμῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν γενεῶν ἡμῶν μεθ' ἡμᾶς τοῦ λατρεύειν λατρείαν κυρίῳ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς καρπώμασιν ἡμῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς θυσίαις ἡμῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς θυσίαις τῶν σωτηρίων ἡμῶν καὶ οὐκ ἐροῦσιν τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν τοῖς τέκνοις ἡμῶν αὔριον οὐκ ἔστιν ὑμῖν μερὶς κυρίου

²⁸ καὶ εἴπαμεν ἐὰν γένηταί ποτε καὶ λαλήσωσιν πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ ταῖς γενεαῖς ἡμῶν αὔριον καὶ ἐροῦσιν ἴδετε ὁμοίωμα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κυρίου ὃ ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν οὐχ ἕνεκεν καρπωμάτων οὐδὲ ἕνεκεν θυσιῶν ἀλλὰ μαρτύριόν ἐστιν ἀνὰ μέσον ὑμῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν υἱῶν ἡμῶν

²⁹ μὴ γένοιτο οὖν ἡμᾶς ἀποστραφῆναι ἀπὸ κυρίου ἐν ταῖς σήμερον ἡμέραις ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ κυρίου ὥστε οἰκοδομῆσαι ἡμᾶς θυσιαστήριον τοῖς καρπώμασιν καὶ ταῖς θυσίαις σαλαμιν καὶ τῇ θυσίᾳ τοῦ σωτηρίου πλὴν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κυρίου ὅ ἐστιν ἐναντίον τῆς σκηνῆς αὐτοῦ

³⁰ καὶ ἀκούσας φινεες ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς συναγωγῆς ισραηλ οἳ ἦσαν μετ' αὐτοῦ τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἐλάλησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ρουβην καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ γαδ καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς μανασση καὶ ἤρεσεν αὐτοῖς

³¹ καὶ εἶπεν φινεες ὁ ἱερεὺς τοῖς υἱοῖς ρουβην καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς γαδ καὶ τῷ ἡμίσει φυλῆς μανασση σήμερον ἐγνώκαμεν ὅτι μεθ' ἡμῶν κύριος διότι οὐκ ἐπλημμελήσατε ἐναντίον κυρίου πλημμέλειαν καὶ ὅτι ἐρρύσασθε τοὺς υἱοὺς ισραηλ ἐκ χειρὸς κυρίου

³² καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν φινεες ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν ρουβην καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν γαδ καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους φυλῆς μανασση ἐκ γῆς γαλααδ εἰς γῆν χανααν πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς ισραηλ καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτοῖς τοὺς λόγους

³³ καὶ ἤρεσεν τοῖς υἱοῖς ισραηλ καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς ισραηλ καὶ εὐλόγησαν τὸν θεὸν υἱῶν ισραηλ καὶ εἶπαν μηκέτι ἀναβῆναι πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς πόλεμον ἐξολεθρεῦσαι τὴν γῆν τῶν υἱῶν ρουβην καὶ τῶν υἱῶν γαδ καὶ τοῦ ἡμίσους φυλῆς μανασση καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐπ' αὐτῆς

³⁴ καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν ἰησοῦς τὸν βωμὸν τῶν ρουβην καὶ τῶν γαδ καὶ τοῦ ἡμίσους φυλῆς μανασση καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι μαρτύριόν ἐστιν ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν ὅτι κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτῶν ἐστιν

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 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

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 He will wipe away from them 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 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 He said to me, "It is done! 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 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.

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 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the wife, the Lamb's bride."

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 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it was a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

¹² having a great and high wall; having 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 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 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.

¹⁵ He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.

¹⁶ The city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, Twelve thousand Twelve stadia. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.

¹⁷ Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

¹⁸ The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.

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 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.

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 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple.

²³ The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

²⁴ The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.

²⁵ Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),

²⁶ and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.

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.
