Apocalipsis 7
Dios Habla Hoy
Escenas intermedias
7 Después de esto, vi cuatro ángeles que estaban en pie sobre los cuatro puntos cardinales, deteniendo los cuatro vientos para que no soplaran sobre la tierra ni sobre el mar ni sobre ningún árbol. 2 También vi otro ángel que venía del oriente, y que tenía el sello del Dios viviente. Este ángel gritó con fuerte voz a los otros cuatro que habían recibido poder para hacer daño a la tierra y al mar: 3 «¡No hagan daño a la tierra ni al mar ni a los árboles, mientras no hayamos puesto un sello en la frente a los siervos de nuestro Dios!»
4 Y oí el número de los que así fueron señalados: ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil de entre todas las tribus israelitas. 5 Fueron señalados doce mil de la tribu de Judá, doce mil de la tribu de Rubén, doce mil de la tribu de Gad, 6 doce mil de la tribu de Aser, doce mil de la tribu de Neftalí, doce mil de la tribu de Manasés, 7 doce mil de la tribu de Simeón, doce mil de la tribu de Leví, doce mil de la tribu de Isacar, 8 doce mil de la tribu de Zabulón, doce mil de la tribu de José y doce mil de la tribu de Benjamín.
9 Después de esto, miré y vi una gran multitud de todas las naciones, razas, lenguas y pueblos. Estaban en pie delante del trono y delante del Cordero, y eran tantos que nadie podía contarlos. Iban vestidos de blanco y llevaban palmas en las manos. 10 Todos gritaban con fuerte voz:
«¡La salvación se debe a nuestro Dios
que está sentado en el trono,
y al Cordero!»
11 Y todos los ángeles estaban en pie alrededor del trono y de los ancianos y de los cuatro seres vivientes; y se inclinaron delante del trono hasta tocar el suelo con la frente, y adoraron a Dios 12 diciendo:
«¡Amén!
La alabanza, la gloria,
la sabiduría, la gratitud,
el honor, el poder y la fuerza
sean dados a nuestro Dios por todos los siglos.
¡Amén!»
13 Entonces uno de los ancianos me preguntó: «¿Quiénes son estos que están vestidos de blanco, y de dónde han venido?» 14 «Tú lo sabes, señor», le contesté. Y él me dijo: «Éstos son los que han pasado por la gran tribulación, los que han lavado sus ropas y las han blanqueado en la sangre del Cordero.
15 »Por eso están delante del trono de Dios,
y día y noche le sirven en su templo.
El que está sentado en el trono
los protegerá con su presencia.
16 Ya no sufrirán hambre ni sed,
ni los quemará el sol,
ni el calor los molestará;
17 porque el Cordero, que está en medio del trono,
será su pastor
y los guiará a manantiales de aguas de vida,
y Dios secará toda lágrima de sus ojos.»
啟示錄 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
為上帝的僕人蓋印
7 這些事情之後,我看見四位天使分別站在地的四個角落控制著四面的風,使風不再吹向地面、海洋和樹木。 2 我又看見一位天使從東方日出之地上來,手裡拿著永活上帝的印。他對那領受權柄能傷害地和海的四位天使大聲說: 3 「我們還沒在上帝的奴僕額上蓋印之前,你們不可傷害地、海和樹木。」 4 我聽見以色列各支派中蓋了印的共有十四萬四千人: 5 猶大支派有一萬二千,呂便支派有一萬二千,迦得支派有一萬二千, 6 亞設支派有一萬二千,拿弗他利支派有一萬二千,瑪拿西支派有一萬二千, 7 西緬支派有一萬二千,利未支派有一萬二千,以薩迦支派有一萬二千, 8 西布倫支派有一萬二千,約瑟支派有一萬二千,便雅憫支派有一萬二千。
劫後餘生的上帝子民
9 後來我又看見一大群人,多得不可勝數。他們來自各國家、各部落、各民族、各語言族群,身穿白袍,手拿棕樹枝,站在寶座和羔羊面前, 10 大聲呼喊說:「救恩來自我們坐在寶座上的上帝,也來自羔羊!」 11 眾天使都站在寶座、眾長老和四個活物的周圍,在寶座前俯伏敬拜上帝,說: 12 「阿們!願頌讚、榮耀、智慧、感謝、尊貴、權柄、能力都歸給我們的上帝,直到永永遠遠。阿們!」
13 長老中有一位問我:「這些身穿白袍的人是誰?他們從哪裡來?」
14 我回答說:「先生,你知道答案。」
他便說:「這些都是經過大災難的人,他們用羔羊的血將衣裳洗得純淨潔白。 15 因此,他們在寶座前,在聖殿中不分晝夜地事奉上帝。坐在寶座上的那位要庇護他們。 16 他們不會再受饑餓和乾渴的折磨,也不會再受太陽和酷熱的煎熬, 17 因為在寶座中央的羔羊要作他們的牧人,引導他們到生命之泉那裡,上帝要擦乾他們所有的眼淚。」
Revelation 7
New International Version
144,000 Sealed
7 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. 2 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) 3 “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.” 4 Then I heard the number(I) of those who were sealed: 144,000(J) from all the tribes of Israel.
5 From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed,
from the tribe of Reuben 12,000,
from the tribe of Gad 12,000,
6 from the tribe of Asher 12,000,
from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,
from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,
7 from the tribe of Simeon 12,000,
from the tribe of Levi 12,000,
from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,
8 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
9 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:
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)

Revelation 7
Common English Bible
One hundred forty-four thousand sealed
7 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth. They held back the earth’s four winds so that no wind would blow against the earth, the sea, or any tree. 2 I saw another angel coming up from the east, holding the seal of the living God. He cried out with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given the power to damage the earth and sea. 3 He said, “Don’t damage the earth, the sea, or the trees until we have put a seal on the foreheads of those who serve our God.”
4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed from every tribe of the Israelites:
5 From the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were sealed;
from the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand;
from the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand;
6 from the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand;
from the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand;
from the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand;
7 from the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand;
from the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand;
from the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand;
8 from the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand;
from the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand;
from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed.
The great crowd and seventh seal
9 After this I looked, and there was a great crowd that no one could number. They were from every nation, tribe, people, and language. They were standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They wore white robes and held palm branches in their hands. 10 They cried out with a loud voice:
“Victory belongs to our God
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”
11 All the angels stood in a circle around the throne, and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell facedown before the throne and worshipped God, 12 saying,
“Amen! Blessing and glory
and wisdom and thanksgiving
and honor and power and might
be to our God forever and always. Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders said to me, “Who are these people wearing white robes, and where did they come from?”
14 I said to him, “Sir, you know.”
Then he said to me, “These people have come out of great hardship. They have washed their robes and made them white in the Lamb’s blood. 15 This is the reason they are before God’s throne. They worship him day and night in his temple, and the one seated on the throne will shelter them. 16 They won’t hunger or thirst anymore. No sun or scorching heat will beat down on them, 17 because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them. He will lead them to the springs of life-giving water,[a] and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
