Revelation · Chapter 22

[ edit] And he ſhewide to me a flood of quyk watir, ſhinynge as criſtal, comynge forþ of þe ſeete of God, and of þe lomb. In þe myddil of þe ſtreet of it, and on ech ſijde of þe flood, þe tree of lijf, bringyng to twelue fruytes, bi eche moneþes ȝeldinge his fruyt; and þe leefes of þe tree to helþe of folkis. And ech curſid þing ſhal no more be; but þe ſeetes of God and of þe lomb ſhulen be in it. And þe ſeruauntis of him ſhulen ſerue to hym. And þei ſhulen ſee his face, and his name in her forhedis. And niȝt ſhal no more be, and þei ſhulen not haue nede to þe liȝt of lantern, neþir to liȝt of þe ſunne; for þe Lord God ſhal liȝtne hem, and þei ſhulen regne in to worldlis of worldlis.

And he ſeide to me, Þes wordis ben mooſt feiþful and truewe. And þe Lord God of ſpiritis prophetis ſente his aungel, for to ſhewe his ſeruauntis, what þinges it bihoueþ for to be don ſoone. And lo! I come ſwiftli. Bleſſid is he, þat kepiþ þe wordis of prophecie of þis book. And I Joon, þat herde and ſiȝe þes þinges. And aftir þat I hadde herd and ſeyn, I fel doun, þat I ſhulde worſchipe bifor þe feet of þe aungel, þat ſchewide to me þes þinges. And he ſeide to me, See þat þou do not; forſoþe I am þin euen ſeruaunt, and of þi briþeren, prophetis, and of hem þat kepen þe wordes of prophecie of þis book; worſchipe þou God.

And he ſeide to me, Signe, or ſeele, þou not þe wordes of prophecie of þis book; forſoþe þe tyme is niȝ. He þat noyeþ, noye ȝit; and he þat is in filþis, wexe foul ȝit; and he þat is iuſt, be he ȝit iuſtified; and þe holy, be he halewid ȝit. Lo! I come ſoone, and my mede wiþ me, for to ȝelde to ech man aftir his werkes. I am alpha and oo, þe firſte and þe laſte, bigynnyng and ende. Bleſſid þei, þat waſchen her ſtooles in þe blood of þe lomb, þat þe power of hem be in þe book of lijf, bi ȝatis entre in to þe citee. Forſoþe wiþ oute forþ, houndes, and venym doers, or poyſeners, and unchaaſt men, and manquellers, and ſeruynge to ydoles, and ech þat loueþ and doiþ leſyng.

I Jheſus ſente myn aungel, for to witneſſe to ȝou þes þinges in chirchis. I am þe roote and kynde of Dauid, a ſhynynge moru ſterre. And þe huſbonde and þe ſpouſe, or wijf, ſeyn, Come þou. And he þat heriþ, ſeieþ, Come þou; and he þat þirſtiþ, come; and he þat wole, take freely þe watir of lijf. Forſoþe I witneſſe to ech man heringe þe wordes of prophecie of þis book, if ony man ſchal put to þes, God ſchal putte on him þe plages writun in þis book. And if ony man ſhal do awey of þe wordis of þe book of þis prophecie, God ſhal take awey þe paart of him fro þe book of lijf, and fro þe holy citee, and fro þes þinges þat ben writun in þis book.

He ſeiþ, þat beriþ witneſſyng of þeſe þingis, Ȝhe, amen. I come ſoone. Amen. Come þou, Lord Jheſu. Þe grace of oure Lord Jheſu Criſt be wiþ ȝou alle. Amen. Here endiþ Apocalips.
