Revelation 22 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Rev 22:1And 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:
Rev 22:2in 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;
Rev 22:3and 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,
Rev 22:4and they shall see His face, and His name is upon their foreheads,
Rev 22:5and 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.
Rev 22:6And 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:
Rev 22:7Lo, I come quickly; happy is he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.'
Rev 22:8And 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;
Rev 22:9and 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.'

The Final Message

Rev 22:10And he saith to me, 'Thou mayest not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is nigh;
Rev 22:11he 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:
Rev 22:12And lo, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to render to each as his work shall be;
Rev 22:13I am the Alpha and the Omega -- the Beginning and End -- the First and the Last.
Rev 22:14'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;
Rev 22:15and 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.
Rev 22:16'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!
Rev 22:17And 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.
Rev 22:18'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,
Rev 22:19and 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;'
Rev 22:20he saith -- who is testifying these things -- 'Yes, I come quickly!' Amen! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus!
Rev 22:21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all. Amen.
