Apocalipsa 14
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Mielul şi cei o sută patruzeci şi patru de mii
14 M-am uitat şi iată că Mielul stătea pe muntele Sion, şi împreună cu El erau o sută patruzeci şi patru de mii, care aveau scrise pe frunţile lor Numele Lui şi Numele Tatălui Său. 2 Şi am auzit un glas din cer, ca vuietul multor ape şi ca sunetul unui tunet puternic. Sunetul pe care l-am auzit era ca al harpiştilor care cântă la harfele lor. 3 Ei cântau un cântec nou înaintea tronului şi înaintea celor patru făpturi vii şi a bătrânilor. Nimeni nu putea învăţa acel cântec, în afară de cei o sută patruzeci şi patru de mii care fuseseră răscumpăraţi de pe pământ. 4 Aceştia sunt cei care nu s-au întinat cu femei, căci sunt virgini[a]. Ei Îl urmează pe Miel oriunde merge. Ei au fost răscumpăraţi dintre oameni ca prime roade pentru Dumnezeu şi pentru Miel. 5 Şi în gura lor nu s-a găsit minciună; ei sunt fără vină.
Mesajele celor trei îngeri
6 Am văzut un alt înger, care zbura în înaltul cerului. El avea de vestit Evanghelia veşnică celor ce trăiesc pe pământ – la fiecare neam, seminţie, limbă şi popor. 7 El spunea cu glas puternic: „Fiţi temători de Dumnezeu şi daţi-I slavă, pentru că a sosit ceasul judecăţii Lui! Închinaţi-vă Celui Ce a făcut cerul, pământul, marea şi izvoarele de apă!“
8 Un alt înger, al doilea, a urmat spunând: „A căzut, a căzut Babilonul cel mare, cel care a dat să bea la toate neamurile din vinul mâniei[b] datorat desfrânării lui[c]!“
9 Un alt înger, al treilea, le-a urmat spunând cu glas puternic: „Dacă i se închină cineva fiarei şi imaginii ei şi primeşte un semn pe frunte sau pe mână, 10 va bea şi el din vinul mâniei lui Dumnezeu, turnat neamestecat[d] în paharul mâniei Lui, şi va fi chinuit în foc şi pucioasă înaintea îngerilor sfinţi şi înaintea Mielului. 11 Fumul chinului lor se ridică în vecii vecilor. Şi nu au odihnă nici ziua, nici noaptea, cei ce se închină fiarei şi imaginii ei şi cei ce primesc semnul numelui ei.“ 12 Aici este răbdarea sfinţilor – a celor ce păzesc poruncile lui Dumnezeu şi credinţa în Isus[e].
13 Am auzit un glas din cer spunând: „Scrie: ferice[f] de morţii care, de acum, mor în Domnul! Da, zice Duhul, pentru că ei se vor odihni de ostenelile lor, căci faptele lor îi urmează.“
14 Apoi m-am uitat şi iată că era un nor alb, iar pe nor şedea „Cineva Care era ca un fiu al omului“[g]. Avea pe cap o coroană de aur, iar în mână avea o seceră ascuţită. 15 Un alt înger a ieşit din Templu, strigând cu glas puternic Celui Ce şedea pe nor: „Trimite secera Ta şi seceră, întrucât a sosit ceasul să seceri, pentru că recolta pământului este coaptă!“ 16 Cel Ce şedea pe nor şi-a aruncat secera pe pământ şi pământul a fost secerat.
17 Un alt înger a ieşit din Templul din cer, având şi el o seceră ascuţită. 18 Un alt înger, care are autoritate peste foc, a ieşit de la altar şi a strigat cu glas puternic către cel ce avea secera ascuţită: „Trimite secera ta ascuţită şi culege ciorchinii de struguri ai viei pământului, pentru că strugurii ei sunt copţi!“ 19 Îngerul şi-a aruncat secera pe pământ, a cules via pământului şi a aruncat strugurii în teascul cel mare al mâniei lui Dumnezeu. 20 Teascul a fost călcat în picioare în afara cetăţii şi din teasc a ieşit sânge până la zăbalele cailor, pe o distanţă de o mie şase sute de stadii[h].

New International Version
The Lamb and the 144,000
14 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb,(A) standing on Mount Zion,(B) and with him 144,000(C) who had his name and his Father’s name(D) written on their foreheads.(E) 2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters(F) and like a loud peal of thunder.(G) The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.(H) 3 And they sang a new song(I) before the throne and before the four living creatures(J) and the elders.(K) No one could learn the song except the 144,000(L) who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins.(M) They follow the Lamb wherever he goes.(N) They were purchased from among mankind(O) and offered as firstfruits(P) to God and the Lamb. 5 No lie was found in their mouths;(Q) they are blameless.(R)
The Three Angels
6 Then I saw another angel flying in midair,(S) and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth(T)—to every nation, tribe, language and people.(U) 7 He said in a loud voice, “Fear God(V) and give him glory,(W) because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made(X) the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”(Y)
8 A second angel followed and said, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’[a](Z) which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”(AA)
9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast(AB) and its image(AC) and receives its mark on their forehead(AD) or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury,(AE) which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.(AF) They will be tormented with burning sulfur(AG) in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever.(AH) There will be no rest day or night(AI) for those who worship the beast and its image,(AJ) or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”(AK) 12 This calls for patient endurance(AL) on the part of the people of God(AM) who keep his commands(AN) and remain faithful to Jesus.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord(AO) from now on.”
“Yes,” says the Spirit,(AP) “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
Harvesting the Earth and Trampling the Winepress
14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud,(AQ) and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man[b](AR) with a crown(AS) of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Then another angel came out of the temple(AT) and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle(AU) and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest(AV) of the earth is ripe.” 16 So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17 Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.(AW) 18 Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar(AX) and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle(AY) and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” 19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.(AZ) 20 They were trampled in the winepress(BA) outside the city,(BB) and blood(BC) flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.[c]

The Lamb and the 144,000
14 Then I looked, and there was the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the sound of a loud thunderclap. The sound that I heard was also like the sound of harpists playing their harps. 3 They were singing[a] a new song in front of the throne and the four living creatures and the elders. No one was able to learn that song except the 144,000, who had been purchased from the earth. 4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, because they are virgins. They continually follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb. 5 And no lie was found in their mouths. They are blameless.[b]
The Three Angels
6 Then I saw another angel flying in the middle of the sky. He had the everlasting gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth, to every nation, tribe, language, and people. 7 He said with a loud voice:
Fear God and give him glory,
because the hour of his judgment has come.
Worship him who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and the springs of water.
8 Another angel, a second,[c] followed. He said, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great,[d] who made every nation drink from the wine of her adulterous desire.”
9 Another angel, a third one, followed them. He said with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he will also drink from the wine of God’s wrath, which has been poured undiluted[e] into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment is going to rise forever and ever. Those who worship the beast and his image, and anyone who receives the mark of his name, are going to have no rest day and night.”
12 Here patient endurance is needed by the saints, who hold on to the commands of God and their faith in Jesus. 13 And I heard a voice from heaven say,[f] “Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, “because they will rest from their labors, for their works follow them.”
The Harvest
14 Then I looked, and there was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man. He had a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Another angel came out of the temple and cried with a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, “Swing your sickle and begin reaping, for the time to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is very ripe.” 16 And the one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17 Another angel, who also had a sharp sickle, came out of the temple, which is in heaven. 18 And another angel, who was in charge of the fire, came from the altar and cried with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Swing your sharp sickle and harvest the grape clusters from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” 19 Then the angel swung his sickle over the earth, and he harvested the earth’s vine and threw it into the great winepress of God’s wrath. 20 The winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.[g]
