啟 示 錄 7
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
十四万四千以色列人
7 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。 2 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。 3 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。” 4 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：
5 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；
6 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；
7 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；
8 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
9 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。”

Revelation 7
New King James Version
The Sealed of Israel
7 After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, (A)holding the four winds of the earth, (B)that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, (C)“Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God (D)on their foreheads.” 4 (E)And I heard the number of those who were sealed. (F)One hundred and forty-four thousand (G)of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:
5 of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were [a]sealed;
of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;
6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;
7 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed;
8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
A Multitude from the Great Tribulation
9 After these things I looked, and behold, (H)a great multitude which no one could number, (I)of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, (J)clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, (K)“Salvation belongs to our God (L)who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 (M)All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and (N)worshiped God, 12 (O)saying:
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in (P)white robes, and where did they come from?”
14 And I said to him, [b]“Sir, you know.”
So he said to me, (Q)“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and (R)washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will (S)dwell among them. 16 (T)They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; (U)the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne (V)will shepherd them and lead them to [c]living fountains of waters. (W)And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Revelation 7
King James Version
7 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
