Apocalipsis 7
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Los 144,000 sellados
7 Después de esto, vi a cuatro ángeles(A) de pie en los cuatro extremos[a](B) de la tierra, que detenían los cuatro vientos de la tierra(C), para que no soplara viento alguno, ni sobre la tierra ni sobre el mar ni sobre ningún árbol(D). 2 También vi a otro ángel que subía de donde sale el sol(E) y que tenía el sello(F) del Dios vivo(G). Y gritó a gran voz a los cuatro ángeles(H) a quienes se les había concedido hacer daño a la tierra y al mar: 3 «No hagan daño, ni a la tierra ni al mar ni a los árboles(I), hasta que hayamos puesto un sello(J) en la frente a los siervos de nuestro Dios(K)».
4 Oí el número de los que fueron sellados(L): 144,000 sellados(M) de todas las tribus de los israelitas. 5 De la tribu de Judá fueron sellados 12,000; de la tribu de Rubén, 12,000; de la tribu de Gad, 12,000; 6 de la tribu de Aser, 12,000; de la tribu de Neftalí, 12,000; de la tribu de Manasés, 12,000; 7 de la tribu de Simeón, 12,000; de la tribu de Leví, 12,000; de la tribu de Isacar, 12,000; 8 de la tribu de Zabulón, 12,000; de la tribu de José, 12,000 y de la tribu de Benjamín fueron sellados 12,000.
Los redimidos de todas las naciones
9 Después de esto miré, y vi una gran multitud, que nadie podía contar, de todas las naciones, tribus, pueblos, y lenguas(N), de pie delante del trono(O) y delante del Cordero(P), vestidos con vestiduras blancas(Q) y con palmas en las manos(R). 10 Clamaban[b] a gran voz:
«La salvación pertenece a nuestro Dios(S) que está sentado en el trono(T), y al Cordero».
11 Todos los ángeles estaban de pie alrededor del trono(U) y alrededor de los ancianos(V) y de los cuatro seres vivientes(W). Estos cayeron sobre sus rostros(X) delante del trono y adoraron a Dios,
12 diciendo:
«¡Amén(Y)! La bendición(Z), la gloria, la sabiduría, la acción de gracias, el honor, el poder y la fortaleza, sean a nuestro Dios por los siglos de los siglos. Amén(AA)».
13 Uno de los ancianos habló[c](AB) diciéndome: «Estos que están vestidos con vestiduras blancas(AC), ¿quiénes son y de dónde han venido?». 14 Y le respondí[d]: «Señor mío, usted lo sabe». Y él me dijo: «Estos son los que vienen de la gran tribulación(AD), y han lavado sus vestiduras(AE) y las han emblanquecido(AF) en la sangre del Cordero(AG). 15 Por eso están delante del trono de Dios(AH), y le sirven(AI) día y noche en Su templo[e](AJ); y Aquel que está sentado en el trono(AK) extenderá Su tabernáculo sobre ellos(AL). 16 Ya no tendrán hambre ni sed, ni el sol les hará daño[f], ni ningún calor abrasador(AM), 17 pues el Cordero que está en medio del trono los pastoreará(AN) y los guiará a manantiales de aguas de vida(AO), y Dios enjugará toda lágrima de sus ojos(AP)».
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)

English Standard Version
The 144,000 of Israel Sealed
7 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back (A)the four winds of the earth, (B)that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel ascending (C)from the rising of the sun, with (D)the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, 3 saying, (E)“Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God (F)on their foreheads.” 4 And (G)I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:
5 12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed,
12,000 from the tribe of Reuben,
12,000 from the tribe of Gad,
6 12,000 from the tribe of Asher,
12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali,
12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,
7 12,000 from the tribe of Simeon,
12,000 from the tribe of Levi,
12,000 from the tribe of Issachar,
8 12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun,
12,000 from the tribe of Joseph,
12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed.
A Great Multitude from Every Nation
9 After this I looked, and behold, (H)a great multitude that no one could number, (I)from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, (J)clothed in white robes, with (K)palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, (L)“Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and (M)the four living creatures, and they (N)fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 (O)saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, (P)clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” 14 I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of (Q)the great tribulation. (R)They have washed their robes and (S)made them white (T)in the blood of the Lamb.
15 “Therefore they are before the throne of God,
and (U)serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne (V)will shelter them with his presence.
16 (W)They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;
(X)the sun shall not strike them,
nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb in the midst of the throne (Y)will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of (Z)living water,
and (AA)God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Revelation 7
The Message
The Servants of God
7 Immediately I saw Four Angels standing at the four corners of earth, standing steady with a firm grip on the four winds so no wind would blow on earth or sea, not even rustle a tree.
2-3 Then I saw another Angel rising from where the sun rose, carrying the seal of the Living God. He thundered to the Four Angels assigned the task of hurting earth and sea, “Don’t hurt the earth! Don’t hurt the sea! Don’t so much as hurt a tree until I’ve sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!”
4-8 I heard the count of those who were sealed: 144,000! They were sealed out of every Tribe of Israel: 12,000 sealed from Judah, 12,000 from Reuben, 12,000 from Gad, 12,000 from Asher, 12,000 from Naphtali, 12,000 from Manasseh, 12,000 from Simeon, 12,000 from Levi, 12,000 from Issachar, 12,000 from Zebulun, 12,000 from Joseph, 12,000 sealed from Benjamin.
* * *
9-12 I looked again. I saw a huge crowd, too huge to count. Everyone was there—all nations and tribes, all races and languages. And they were standing, dressed in white robes and waving palm branches, standing before the Throne and the Lamb and heartily singing:
Salvation to our God on his Throne!
Salvation to the Lamb!
All who were standing around the Throne—Angels, Elders, Animals—fell on their faces before the Throne and worshiped God, singing:
Oh, Yes!
The blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving,
The honor and power and strength,
To our God forever and ever and ever!
Oh, Yes!
13-14 Just then one of the Elders addressed me: “Who are these dressed in white robes, and where did they come from?” Taken aback, I said, “O Sir, I have no idea—but you must know.”
14-17 Then he told me, “These are those who come from the great tribulation, and they’ve washed their robes, scrubbed them clean in the blood of the Lamb. That’s why they’re standing before God’s Throne. They serve him day and night in his Temple. The One on the Throne will pitch his tent there for them: no more hunger, no more thirst, no more scorching heat. The Lamb on the Throne will shepherd them, will lead them to spring waters of Life. And God will wipe every last tear from their eyes.”
