Revelation 22 (WEBP)

[1] He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,
[2] in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
[3] There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him.
[4] They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
[5] There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.
[6] He said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his bondservants the things which must happen soon.”
[7] “Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
[8] Now I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who had shown me these things.
[9] He said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”
[10] He said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.
[11] He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”
[12] “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.
[13] I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
[14] Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.
[15] Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
[16] I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
[17] The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.
[18] I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book.
[19] If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.
[20] He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus!
[21] The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.

Young’s Literal Translation

Revelation 22 (YLT)

[1] And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, going forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb:
[2] in the midst of its broad place, and of the river on this side and on that, is a tree of life, yielding twelve fruits, in each several month rendering its fruits, and the leaves of the tree are for the service of the nations;
[3] and any curse there shall not be any more, and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him,
[4] and they shall see His face, and His name is upon their foreheads,
[5] and night shall not be there, and they have no need of a lamp and light of a sun, because the Lord God doth give them light, and they shall reign-to the ages of the ages.
[6] And he said to me, ‘These words are stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly:
[7] Lo, I come quickly; happy is he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.’
[8] And I, John, am he who is seeing these things and hearing, and when I heard and beheld, I fell down to bow before the feet of the messenger who is shewing me these things;
[9] and he saith to me, ‘See-not; for fellow-servant of thee am I, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those keeping the words of this scroll; before God bow.’
[10] And he saith to me, ‘Thou mayest not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is nigh;
[11] he who is unrighteous-let him be unrighteous still, and he who is filthy-let him be filthy still, and he who is righteous-let him be declared righteous still, and he who is sanctified-let him be sanctified still:
[12] And lo, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to render to each as his work shall be;
[13] I am the Alpha and the Omega-the Beginning and End-the First and the Last.
[14] ‘Happy are those doing His commands that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of the life, and by the gates they may enter into the city;
[15] and without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving and is doing a lie.
[16] ‘I, Jesus did send my messenger to testify to you these things concerning the assemblies; I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star!
[17] And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come; and he who is hearing-let him say, Come; and he who is thirsting-let him come; and he who is willing-let him take the water of life freely.
[18] ‘For I testify to every one hearing the words of the prophecy of this scroll, if any one may add unto these, God shall add to him the plagues that have been written in this scroll,
[19] and if any one may take away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the scroll of the life, and out of the holy city, and the things that have been written in this scroll;’
[20] he saith-who is testifying these things-‘Yes, I come quickly!’ Amen! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus!
[21] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all. Amen.
