印了神仆人的额

此后,我看见四位天使站在地的四角,执掌地上四方的风,叫风不吹在地上、海上和树上。 我又看见另有一位天使,从日出之地上来,拿着永生神的印。他就向那得着权柄能伤害地和海的四位天使大声喊着说: “地与海并树木你们不可伤害,等我们印了我们神众仆人的额。” 我听见以色列人各支派中受印的数目有十四万四千: 犹大支派中受印的有一万二千,鲁本支派中有一万二千,迦得支派中有一万二千, 亚设支派中有一万二千,拿弗他利支派中有一万二千,玛拿西支派中有一万二千, 西缅支派中有一万二千,利未支派中有一万二千,以萨迦支派中有一万二千, 西布伦支派中有一万二千,约瑟支派中有一万二千,便雅悯支派中受印的有一万二千。

无数的人站于宝座前

此后我观看,见有许多的人,没有人能数过来,是从各国、各族、各民、各方来的,站在宝座和羔羊面前,身穿白衣,手拿棕树枝, 10 大声喊着说:“愿救恩归于坐在宝座上我们的神,也归于羔羊!” 11 众天使都站在宝座和众长老并四活物的周围,在宝座前面伏于地,敬拜神, 12 说:“阿门!颂赞、荣耀、智慧、感谢、尊贵、权柄、大力都归于我们的神,直到永永远远!阿门。”

神必擦去一切人的眼泪

13 长老中有一位问我说:“这些穿白衣的是谁?是从哪里来的?” 14 我对他说:“我主,你知道。”他向我说:“这些人是从大患难中出来的,曾用羔羊的血把衣裳洗白净了。 15 所以,他们在神宝座前,昼夜在他殿中侍奉他;坐宝座的要用帐幕覆庇他们。 16 他们不再饥、不再渴,日头和炎热也必不伤害他们, 17 因为宝座中的羔羊必牧养他们,领他们到生命水的泉源;神也必擦去他们一切的眼泪。”

以色列人受印

这事以后,我看见四位天使站在大地的四角上,掌握着大地四方的风,不让风吹在大地、海洋或任何树木上。 接着,我看见另一位天使,拿着永生神的封印,从东方[a]上来。他对那些被准许伤害大地和海洋的四位天使大声呼喊, 说:“不要伤害大地、海洋和树木,直到我们在我们神的奴仆们额上盖了印。” 我又听见了那些被盖上印之人的数目,

以色列子民各支派中被盖上印的有十四万四千人:
犹大支派中被盖上印的有一万二千[b]人;
鲁本支派中[c]有一万二千人;
迦得支派中有一万二千人;
亚设支派中有一万二千人;
拿弗他利支派中有一万二千人;
玛拿西支派中有一万二千人;
西缅支派中有一万二千人;
利未支派中有一万二千人;
以萨迦支派中有一万二千人;
西布伦支派中有一万二千人;
约瑟支派中有一万二千人;
便雅悯支派中被盖上印的有一万二千人。

各族各方的群众

这些事以后,我观看,看哪,有一大群人,没有人能够数过来。他们来自各国家、各支派、各民族、各语言群体。他们身穿白袍,手里拿着棕榈枝,站在宝座和羔羊面前, 10 大声呼喊说:

“救恩属于坐在宝座上我们的神、
属于羔羊!”

11 所有的天使都站在宝座、长老们和四个活物的周围;他们在宝座前,把脸伏在地上,敬拜神, 12 说:

“阿们!愿颂赞、荣耀、智慧、
感谢、尊贵、权能、力量
都归于我们的神,直到永永远远!阿们。”

13 长老中有一位问我,说:“这些身穿白袍的是谁?他们是从哪里来的?”

14 我对他说:“我主啊,你是知道的。”

他就对我说:

“这些人都是从大患难中出来的。
他们用羔羊的血
洗净了自己的袍子,使它们洁白了。
15 因此他们在神的宝座前,
日夜在他的圣所中事奉他。
那位坐在宝座上的也将庇护他们[d]
16 他们将不再饥饿,也不再干渴;
太阳或任何炎热也不会伤到他们[e]
17 因为在宝座中的羔羊将牧养他们,
领他们到生命[f]水的泉源;
神要从他们的眼中抹去一切泪水。”

144,000 Sealed

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners(A) of the earth, holding back the four winds(B) of the earth to prevent(C) any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal(D) of the living God.(E) He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:(F) “Do not harm(G) the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads(H) of the servants of our God.” Then I heard the number(I) of those who were sealed: 144,000(J) from all the tribes of Israel.

From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed,

from the tribe of Reuben 12,000,

from the tribe of Gad 12,000,

from the tribe of Asher 12,000,

from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,

from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,

from the tribe of Simeon 12,000,

from the tribe of Levi 12,000,

from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,

from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000,

from the tribe of Joseph 12,000,

from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.

The Great Multitude in White Robes

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language,(K) standing before the throne(L) and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes(M) and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:

“Salvation belongs to our God,(N)
who sits on the throne,(O)
and to the Lamb.”

11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders(P) and the four living creatures.(Q) They fell down on their faces(R) before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:

“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”(S)

13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes(T)—who are they, and where did they come from?”

14 I answered, “Sir, you know.”

And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes(U) and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.(V) 15 Therefore,

“they are before the throne of God(W)
    and serve him(X) day and night in his temple;(Y)
and he who sits on the throne(Z)
    will shelter them with his presence.(AA)
16 ‘Never again will they hunger;
    never again will they thirst.(AB)
The sun will not beat down on them,’[a]
    nor any scorching heat.(AC)
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
    will be their shepherd;(AD)
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’[b](AE)
    ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’[c](AF)
