Apocalipsis 14
Traducción en lenguaje actual
Una canción nueva
14 Entonces miré, y vi al Cordero[a] de pie en el monte Sión.[b] Junto a él estaban ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil seguidores suyos, que tenían escritos en la frente los nombres del Cordero y del Padre. 2 Después oí una voz que venía del cielo. Era como el estruendo de enormes cataratas, o como el fuerte resonar del trueno; era un sonido semejante al de muchos músicos tocando arpas.[c] 3 Los ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil estaban de pie delante del trono, y delante de los cuatro seres vivientes y de los veinticuatro ancianos, y cantaban una canción que nunca antes se había escuchado. Nadie podía aprenderse la letra de aquella canción, a no ser los que fueron salvados de entre la gente de este mundo, 4 los cuales no adoraron a dioses falsos ni fueron infieles a Dios. Todos ellos seguían al Cordero por dondequiera que él iba, y habían sido salvados para ser el primer regalo que se ofreciera a Dios y al Cordero, 5 pues nunca mintieron ni hicieron lo malo.
El mensaje de los tres ángeles
6 Vi entonces a otro ángel, que volaba en lo alto del cielo. Llevaba buenas noticias de valor eterno, para la gente de todos los países, razas, idiomas y pueblos. 7 Decía con fuerte voz:
«Honren a Dios y alábenlo;
ha llegado el momento
en que él juzgará al mundo.
Adoren al creador
del cielo y de la tierra,
del mar y de los manantiales.»
8 Lo seguía otro ángel que decía:
«¡Ya cayó la gran Babilonia![d]
Ya ha sido destruida la ciudad
que enseñó a todos los países
a pecar y a obedecer a dioses falsos.»
9 Luego los siguió un tercer ángel, que decía con fuerte voz:
«Si alguno adora al monstruo o a su estatua, o deja que le pongan su marca en la frente o en la mano, 10 Dios se enojará mucho y lo castigará duramente. No será un castigo suave, sino que lo hará sufrir con fuego y azufre ardiente, y los santos ángeles y el Cordero[e] lo verán sufrir su castigo. 11 El humo del fuego que lo hará sufrir nunca dejará de subir, pues los que adoran al monstruo y a su estatua, y tienen la marca de su nombre, nunca dejarán de sufrir, ni de día ni de noche.»
12 El pueblo de Dios debe aprender a soportar con fortaleza las dificultades y los sufrimientos. También debe obedecer los mandatos de Dios y seguir confiando en Jesús.
13 Entonces oí una voz del cielo, que me decía: «Escribe esto: “¡Dios bendecirá a los que de ahora en adelante mueran unidos al Señor Jesucristo!”»
Y el Espíritu de Dios dice: «Así es, porque ellos descansarán de todos sus sufrimientos y dificultades, pues Dios los premiará por todo el bien que han hecho.»
El juicio final
14 Luego vi una nube blanca, sobre la que estaba sentado alguien que parecía un hijo de hombre.[f] Tenía una corona de oro en la cabeza, y en la mano llevaba una hoz afilada. 15 Y otro ángel salió del templo, y gritó con fuerte voz al que estaba sentado en la nube: «¡Empieza a cortar con tu hoz, y recoge la cosecha![g] y ha llegado la hora de recogerla.»
16 El que estaba sentado en la nube pasó la hoz sobre la tierra, y recogió la cosecha.
17 Entonces salió del templo otro ángel, que también llevaba una hoz afilada. 18 Y del altar salió el ángel que tiene poder sobre el fuego, y le dijo al ángel que llevaba la hoz afilada: «¡Empieza a cortar con tu hoz! ¡Recoge las uvas del viñedo de la tierra, porque las uvas ya están maduras!»
19 El ángel pasó la hoz sobre la tierra, y cortó las uvas de los viñedos. Luego las echó en el recipiente grande que se usa para exprimirlas, y que representa el enojo de Dios. 20 Las uvas fueron exprimidas fuera de la ciudad, y del recipiente salió tanta sangre que subió hasta un metro y medio de altura, en una extensión de trescientos kilómetros.

Revelation 14
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]

Revelation 14
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
The Lamb And The 144,000 Stand On Mt. Zion, Singing a New Song
14 And I saw, and behold— the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one-hundred forty four thousand having His name and the name of His Father having been written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a sound from heaven like a sound of many waters, and like a sound of loud thunder. And the sound which I heard was like that of harpists harping with their harps. 3 And they[a] are singing something like a new song before the throne and before the four living-creatures and the elders. And no one was able to learn the song except the one-hundred forty four thousand, the ones having been bought[b] from the earth. 4 These are ones who were not stained[c] with women, for they are virgins. These are[d] the ones following the Lamb wherever He goes. These were bought from mankind to be the firstfruit to God and to the Lamb. 5 And falsehood was not found in their mouth. They are without-blemish.
Three Angels Proclaim God’s Message To The Earth
6 And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven[e], having eternal good-news to announce-as-good-news to[f] the ones sitting on the earth— indeed, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people, 7 saying with a loud voice “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment came[g]. And give-worship to the One having made the heaven and the land and sea and springs of waters”. 8 And another angel, a second, followed, saying “Babylon the great fell[h], it fell— she who has given-a-drink-to all the nations from the wine of the passion[i] of her sexual-immorality”. 9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying 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 himself will also drink from the wine of the fury of God having been mixed undiluted in the cup of His wrath. And he will be tormented with fire and sulphur in the presence of holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. And they do not have a rest by day and by night[j]— the ones worshiping the beast and his image, and if anyone receives the mark of his name. 12 Here[k] is the endurance of the saints, the ones keeping the commandments of God and the faith of [l] Jesus. 13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write— ‘Blessed[m] are the dead dying in the Lord from-now-on! Yes, says the Spirit, so that they will rest from their labors, for their works are following with them”.
The Reaping of Mankind
14 And I saw and behold— there was a white cloud, and one sitting on the cloud resembling a son[n] of man, having a golden crown[o] upon his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying-out with a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, “Send your sickle and reap, because the hour to reap came, because the harvest of the earth was dried-up[p]”. 16 And the one sitting on the cloud cast his sickle over[q] the earth, and the earth was reaped. 17 And another angel came out of the temple in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came-out from the altar— the one having[r] authority over the fire. And he called-out with a loud voice to the one having the sharp sickle, saying, “Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters from the grapevine of the earth, because its grapes became ripe”. 19 And the angel cast his sickle into the earth, and gathered the grapevine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the fury of God. 20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city. And blood came out of the winepress up to the bridles of the horses, one-thousand six-hundred stades[s] away.

啟示錄 14
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
十四萬四千人的歌
14 我又觀看,看見羔羊站在錫安山,和他在一起的有十四萬四千人,都有他的名和他父親的名寫在額上。 2 我聽見從天上有聲音,像眾水的聲音和大雷的聲音,我所聽見的聲音好像琴師所彈的琴聲。 3 他們在寶座前,和在四活物及眾長老前唱新歌,除了從地上買來的那十四萬四千人以外,沒有人能學這歌。 4 這些人未曾沾染婦女,他們原是童身。羔羊無論往哪裏去,他們都跟隨他。他們是從人間買來的,作為初熟的果子歸給 神和羔羊。 5 在他們口中找不出謊言,他們是沒有瑕疵的。
三位天使的信息
6 我又看見另一位天使在空中飛翔,有永遠的福音要傳給住在地上的人,就是各邦國、各支派、各語言、各民族。 7 他大聲說:「要敬畏 神,把榮耀歸給他,因為他施行審判的時候已經到了。要敬拜那創造天、地、海和水源的主。」
8 另有第二位天使接着說:「傾覆了!那曾叫列國喝淫亂、烈怒之酒的大巴比倫傾覆了!」
9 另有第三位天使接着他們,大聲說:「若有人拜那隻獸和獸像,在額上或在手上受了印記, 10 他也必喝 神烈怒的酒;這酒是斟在 神憤怒的杯中的純酒。他要在聖天使和羔羊面前,在火與硫磺之中受痛苦。 11 使他們受痛苦的煙往上冒,直到永永遠遠。那些拜獸和獸像,受了牠名字的印記的人,晝夜不得安寧。」
12 在此,遵守 神命令[a]和堅信耶穌真道的聖徒要有耐心。
13 我聽見從天上有聲音說:「你要寫下:從今以後,在主裏死去的人有福了。」聖靈說:「是的,他們要從自己的勞苦中得安息,因為工作的成果永隨着他們。」
地上的收割
14 我又觀看,看見有一片白雲,雲上坐着一位好像是人子的,頭上戴着金冠冕,手裏拿着鋒利的鐮刀。 15 另有一位天使從聖所出來,向那坐在雲上的大聲喊着:「伸出你的鐮刀來收割吧,因為收割的時候已經到了,地上的莊稼已經熟透了。」 16 於是那坐在雲上的把鐮刀向地上揮去,地上的莊稼就收割了。
17 另有一位天使從天上的聖所出來,他也拿着鋒利的鐮刀。 18 另有一位天使從祭壇出來,是有權柄管火的,向那拿着鋒利鐮刀的大聲喊着說:「伸出鋒利的鐮刀來,收取地上葡萄樹的果子,因為葡萄熟透了。」 19 那天使就把鐮刀向地上揮去,收取了地上的葡萄,扔進 神憤怒的大醡酒池裏。 20 那醡酒池在城外被踹踏,有血從醡酒池裏流出來,漲到馬的嚼環那麼高,約有一千六百斯他迪[b]那麼遠。
