1 С лед това, ангелът ми показа река с вода на живот, бистра като кристал, която извираше от престола на Бога и на Агнето и течеше (Или: Която беше.) всред улицата му.

Then he showed me the river whose waters give life, sparkling like crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb

2 И от двете страни на реката имаше дърво на живот, което раждаше плод дванадесет пъти, като даваше плод всеки месец; и листата на дърветата бяха за изцеление на народите.

Through the middle of the broadway of the city; also, on either side of the river was the tree of life with its twelve varieties of fruit, yielding each month its fresh crop; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing and the restoration of the nations.

3 Н ищо проклето не ще има вече; и престолът на Бога и на Агнето ще бъде в него, и Неговите слуги ще Му служат.

There shall no longer exist there anything that is accursed (detestable, foul, offensive, impure, hateful, or horrible). But the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall worship Him.

4 Т е ще гледат лицето Му; и Неговото име ще бъде на челата им.

They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.

5 Н ощ не ще има вече; и не ще имат нужда от светене на светило или от слънчева светлина, защото Господ Бог ги осветява. И те ще царуват до вечни векове.

And there shall be no more night; they have no need for lamplight or sunlight, for the Lord God will illuminate them and be their light, and they shall reign forever and ever (through the eternities of the eternities).

6 И рече ми: Тия думи са верни и истинни; и Господ Бог на пророческите духове, прати ангела Си да покаже на Неговите слуги това, което трябва скоро да стане.

And he said to me, These statements are reliable (worthy of confidence) and genuine (true). And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His messenger (angel) to make known and exhibit to His servants what must soon come to pass.

7 И , ето, ида скоро. Блажен, който пази думите на написаното в тая книга пророчество.

And behold, I am coming speedily. Blessed (happy and to be envied) is he who observes and lays to heart and keeps the truths of the prophecy (the predictions, consolations, and warnings) contained in this book.

8 А з, Иоан, съм, който чух и видях, паднах да се поклоня пред нозете на ангела, който ми, беше показал това.

And I, John, am he who heard and witnessed these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell prostrate before the feet of the messenger (angel) who showed them to me, to worship him.

9 Н о той ми рече: Недей! Аз съм служител на тебе и на братята ти пророци и на тия, които пазят думите на тая книга. Поклони се Богу.

But he said to me, Refrain! I am a fellow servant along with yourself and with your brethren the prophets and with those who are mindful of and practice the messages of this book. Worship God!

10 О ще ми каза: Не запечатвай думите на написаното в тая книга пророчество; защото времето за изпълнението му е близу.

And he told me, Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book and make no secret of them, for the time when things are brought to a crisis and the period of their fulfillment is near.

11 К ойто върши неправда, нека върши и за напред неправда; и който е нечист, нека бъде и за напред нечист; и праведният нека върши и за напред правда, и светият нека бъде и за напред свет.

He who is unrighteous (unjust, wicked), let him be unrighteous still; and he who is filthy (vile, impure), let him be filthy still; and he who is righteous (just, upright, in right standing with God), let him do right still; and he who is holy, let him be holy still.

12 Е то, ида скоро; и у Мене е наградата, която давам, да отплатя на всекиго, според каквито са делата му.

Behold, I am coming soon, and I shall bring My wages and rewards with Me, to repay and render to each one just what his own actions and his own work merit.

13 А з съм Алфа и Омега, първият и последният, началото и краят.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last (the Before all and the End of all).

14 Б лажени, които изперат дрехите си, за да имат право да дойдат при дървото на живота, и да влязат през портите на града.

Blessed (happy and to be envied) are those who cleanse their garments, that they may have the authority and right to the tree of life and to enter through the gates into the city.

15 А отвън са псетата, чародейците, блудниците, убийците, идолопоклонниците и всеки, който обича лъжата и лъже.

without are the dogs and those who practice sorceries (magic arts) and impurity and the murderers and idolaters and everyone who loves and deals in falsehood (untruth, error, deception, cheating).

16 А з, Исус, изпратих ангела Си, да ви засвидетелствува това за църквите. Аз съм коренът и потомъкът Давидов, светлата утринна звезда.

I, Jesus, have sent My messenger (angel) to you to witness and to give you assurance of these things for the churches (assemblies). I am the Root (the Source) and the Offspring of David, the radiant and brilliant Morning Star.

17 И Духът и невестата казват: Дойди. И който чуе, нека рече: Дойди. И който е жаден нека дойде. Който иска, нека вземе даром водата на живота.

The Spirit and the bride (the church, the true Christians) say, Come! And let him who is listening say, Come! And let everyone come who is thirsty '> of those things by which the soul is refreshed, supported, and strengthened]; and whoever desires to do it, let him come, take, appropriate, and drink the water of Life without cost.

18 А з свидетелствувам на всекиго, който слуша думите на пророчеството в тая книга: Ако някой притури на тях, Бог ще притури върху него язвите, написани в тая книга,

I warn everyone who listens to the statements of the prophecy '> predictions and the consolations and admonitions pertaining to them] in this book: If anyone shall add anything to them, God will add and lay upon him the plagues (the afflictions and the calamities) that are recorded and described in this book.

19 и , ако някой отнеме от думите на тая пророческа книга, Бог ще му отнеме дела от дървото на живота и от светия град, които са описани в тая книга.

And if anyone cancels or takes away from the statements of the book of this prophecy '> predictions relating to Christ’s kingdom and its speedy triumph, together with the consolations and admonitions or warnings pertaining to them], God will cancel and take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the city of holiness (purity and hallowedness), which are described and promised in this book.

20 О ня, Който свидетелствува за това, казва: Наистина ида скоро. Амин! Дойди, Господи Исусе!

He Who gives this warning and affirms and testifies to these things says, Yes (it is true). I am coming quickly (swiftly, speedily). Amen (so let it be)! Yes, come, Lord Jesus!

21 Благодатта на Господа Исуса Христа да бъде със светиите. Амин.

The grace (blessing and favor) of the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) be with all the saints (God’s holy people, those set apart for God, to be, as it were, exclusively His). Amen (so let it be)!
