印了十四萬四千個以色列人

這事以後,我看見四位天使站在地的四極,掌握著地上的四風,不使風吹在地上、海上和任何樹上。 我又看見另外一位天使,從日出之地上來,拿著永活 神的印,向那四位得了權柄可以傷害地和海的天使,大聲呼喊, 說:“你們不要傷害地、海和樹木,等我們在 神眾僕人的額上先蓋上了印。” 我聽見被蓋印的人的數目,以色列子孫各支派中被蓋印的共有十四萬四千人:

猶大支派中被蓋印的,一萬二千人;

流本支派中,一萬二千人;

迦得支派中,一萬二千人;

亞設支派中,一萬二千人;

拿弗他利支派中,一萬二千人;

瑪拿西支派中,一萬二千人;

西緬支派中,一萬二千人;

利未支派中,一萬二千人;

以薩迦支派中,一萬二千人;

西布倫支派中,一萬二千人;

約瑟支派中,一萬二千人;

便雅憫支派中,一萬二千人。

各國各族的群眾前來敬拜

這些事以後,我觀看,見有一大群人,沒有人能數得過來,是從各邦國、各支派、各民族、各方言來的。他們都站在寶座和羊羔面前,身穿白袍,手裡拿著棕樹枝。 10 他們大聲呼喊,說:

“願救恩歸給那坐在寶座上我們的 神,也歸給羊羔!”

11 所有的天使都站在寶座、眾長老和四個活物的四周。他們在寶座前,面伏在地上敬拜 神, 12 說:

“阿們!願頌讚、榮耀、智慧、

感謝、尊貴、權能、力量,

都歸給我們的 神,

直到永永遠遠。阿們!”

13 長老中有一位問我:“這些身穿白袍的是誰?他們是從哪裡來的呢?” 14 我對他說:“我主啊,你是知道的。”他告訴我:“這些人是從大患難中出來的。他們用羊羔的血,把自己的衣袍洗潔白了。 15 因此,他們可以在 神的寶座前,並且日夜在他的聖所裡事奉他。那坐在寶座上的必展開帳幕覆庇他們。 16 他們必不再餓,也不再渴;太陽和一切炎熱必不傷害他們。 17 因為在寶座中間的羊羔必牧養他們,領他們到生命水的泉源那裡。 神也必抹去他們的一切眼淚。”

The Sealed of Israel

After this I saw four angels(A) standing at the four corners of the earth, restraining the four winds of the earth(B) so that no wind could blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. Then I saw another angel rising up from the east,(C) who had the seal of the living God.(D) He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who were allowed to harm the earth and the sea, ‘Don’t harm the earth or the sea or the trees(E) until we seal the servants of our God on their foreheads.’(F) And I heard the number of the sealed:

144,000 sealed from every tribe of the Israelites:(G)

12,000 sealed from the tribe of Judah,

12,000 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 sealed from the tribe of Benjamin.

A Multitude from the Great Tribulation

After this I looked, and there was a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language,(H) which no one could number,(I) standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes with palm branches in their hands.(J) 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:

Salvation belongs to our God,(K)
who is seated on the throne,
and to the Lamb!

11 All the angels stood around the throne, and along with the elders and the four living creatures they fell face down before the throne and worshipped God, 12 saying,

Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honour
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.(L) Amen.

13 Then one of the elders asked me, ‘Who are these people in white robes, and where did they come from? ’

14 I said to him, ‘Sir,[a] you know.’

Then he told me: These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation.(M) They washed their robes and made them white(N) in the blood of the Lamb.

15 For this reason they are before the throne of God,
and they serve him day and night(O) in his temple.(P)
The one seated on the throne will shelter[b] them:(Q)
16 They will no longer hunger;
they will no longer thirst;
the sun will no longer strike them,
nor will any scorching heat.(R)
17 For the Lamb who is at the centre of the throne
will shepherd them;(S)
he will guide them to springs of the waters of life,(T)
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.(U)

十四万四千以色列人

这之后,我又看见四个天使站在大地的四角。他们挡住了地球四面的风,不让风吹到陆上、海上或树上。 然后,我看见另一个天使从东方走来,他拿着活生生的上帝的印,大声呼唤那四个被赋予了毁坏大地和海洋的权力的天使。 他说∶“在我们给上帝的仆人的前额盖印之前,不要伤害地球、海洋和树木。” 前额上被盖了印的人的总数为:以色列各支派共十四万四千人,他们来自于以色列每个不同的支派:

犹大支派一万二千人;

流便支派一万二千人;

迦得支派一万二千人;

亚设支派一万二千人;

拿弗他利支派一万二千人;

玛拿西支派一万二千人;

西缅支派一万二千人;

利未支派一万二千人;

以萨迦支派一万二千人;

西布伦支派一万二千人;

约瑟支派一万二千人;

便雅悯支派一万二千人。

众人

接着,我看见面前有一大群人,谁也数不清有多少。这些人来自各个国家、各个支派、各个民族,说各种语言。他们站在宝座和羔羊面前,身穿白袍,手拿棕榈枝, 10 他们呼喊道∶“胜利属于宝座上的上帝,胜利属于羔羊!” 11 所有的天使都站在宝座、长老和四个生物的四周。他们在宝座前以面伏地,敬拜上帝。 12 他们说∶“阿们!愿赞美、荣耀、智慧、感恩、尊崇、权力和力量永远属于上帝,阿们!”

13 一位长老问我∶“那些穿白袍的人是谁?他们是从哪里来的?”

14 我回答说∶“先生,您知道他们是谁。”于是,他对我说∶“他们经历了大迫害,他们用羔羊的血,把自己的长袍洗得干净洁白。 [a] 15 所以他们站在上帝的宝座前,日夜在他的殿里敬拜他。宝座上的人会庇护他们, 16 让他们不再饥渴,不再让骄阳、烈炎灼伤他们。 17 宝座前中间的羔羊会牧养他们,领他们到赋予生命的泉水那里去。上帝会擦去他们的每一滴泪水。”

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.

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)

De 144.000 voor Gods troon

Daarna zag ik vier engelen op de vier hoeken van de aarde staan. Zij hielden de vier winden vast, zodat er nergens een zuchtje wind was. De zee was zo glad als een spiegel en er ritselde geen blad aan de bomen. Uit het oosten zag ik een andere engel opkomen, die het zegel van de levende God bij zich had. Hij riep naar de vier engelen die van God macht hadden gekregen om de aarde en de zee schade toe te brengen: ‘Wacht! Breng nog geen schade toe aan de aarde, de zee en de bomen, want wij moeten eerst het zegel van onze God op het voorhoofd van zijn dienaren drukken.’ En ik hoorde hoeveel mensen het zegel kregen: honderdvierenveertigduizend uit het volk van Israël: twaalfduizend uit elk van de twaalf stammen, dus uit Juda, Ruben en Gad, uit Aser, Naftali en Manasse, uit Simeon, Levi en Issaschar, uit Zebulon, Jozef en Benjamin.

Daarna zag ik een ontelbare menigte mensen. Zij kwamen uit alle rassen, volken, stammen en taalgroepen. Zij stonden voor de troon en voor het Lam, met witte kleren aan en palmtakken in de hand. 10 Zij riepen luid: ‘Onze redding komt van onze God, die op de troon zit en van het Lam!’ 11 Alle engelen stonden om de troon, de ouderlingen en de vier levende wezens. Zij lieten zich voor de troon op de knieën vallen, met hun hoofd voorover en aanbaden God. 12 ‘Amen,’ zeiden zij. ‘Alle lof, heerlijkheid, wijsheid en dank, alle eer, macht en kracht is voor onze God, voor altijd en eeuwig. Amen.’

13 Een van de ouderlingen vroeg mij: ‘Wie zijn die mensen in witte kleren? En waar komen zij vandaan?’ 14 Ik antwoordde: ‘Ik weet het niet, maar ú wel. Wilt u het mij zeggen?’ En hij zei tegen mij: ‘Dat zijn de mensen die de grote verdrukking hebben doorstaan. Zij hebben hun kleren wit gewassen in het bloed van het Lam. 15 Daarom staan zij voor de troon van God en dienen zij Hem dag en nacht in zijn tempel. Hij die op de troon zit, zal bij hen wonen. 16 Zij zullen geen honger of dorst meer hebben en ook niet meer door de brandende zon en de verzengende hitte gehinderd worden, 17 want het Lam, dat voor de troon staat, zal hun herder zijn en hen naar de waterbronnen van het leven brengen. En God zal alle tranen van hun ogen afwissen.’
