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.”

Откровение 7
Bulgarian New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Сто четиридесет и четири хиляди на Израел
7 След това видях четири ангела, които стояха в четирите краища на земята и държаха четирите земни ветрове, за да не духа вятър нито върху земята или морето, нито в дърветата. 2 После видях друг ангел, който идваше от изток и носеше печата на живия Бог. Той извика високо на четирите ангела, които имаха власт да навредят на земята и морето: 3 „Не причинявайте вреда на земята или на морето, нито на дърветата, докато не сложим печат на челата на слугите на нашия Бог.“ 4 Тогава чух колко души бяха белязани с печата — сто четиридесет и четири хиляди. И сред тях имаше хора от всяко племе на народа на Израел[a]:
5 Белязани с печата бяха
дванадесет хиляди от племето на Юда
дванадесет хиляди от племето на Рувим,
дванадесет хиляди от племето на Гад,
6 дванадесет хиляди от племето на Асир,
дванадесет хиляди от племето на Нефталим,
дванадесет хиляди от племето на Манасий,
7 дванадесет хиляди от племето на Симеон,
дванадесет хиляди от племето на Левий,
дванадесет хиляди от племето на Исахар,
8 дванадесет хиляди от племето на Завулон,
дванадесет хиляди от племето на Йосиф
и дванадесет хиляди от племето на Вениамин.
Огромното множество
9 Тогава погледнах и видях пред себе си огромна тълпа, неизброимо много хора — от всяко племе и раса, от всеки народ и език. Те стояха пред престола и пред Агнето, облечени в бели роби и с палмови клонки в ръцете си, 10 и викаха: „Победата принадлежи на нашия Бог, който е седнал на престола, и на Агнето!“ 11 Около престола, старейшините и четирите живи същества стояха всички ангели и те паднаха по очи пред престола и се поклониха на Бога, 12 като казаха: „Амин! Благословение, слава, мъдрост, благодарност, чест, власт и сила да бъде на нашия Бог за вечни векове. Амин!“
13 Тогава един от старейшините ме попита: „Кои са тези хора, облечени в бели роби? Откъде дойдоха?“
14 „Ти знаеш, господине“ — отговорих му аз.
А той ми каза: „Това са хората, преминали голямото страдание. Те изпраха робите си в кръвта на Агнето и ги направиха чисти и бели. 15 Затова сега са пред Божия престол и ден и нощ му се покланят в неговия храм, а Седналият на престола ще ги закриля. 16 Те никога вече няма да са гладни, нито пък жадни; нито слънце ще ги гори, нито жега. 17 Агнето по средата пред престола ще бъде техният пастир и ще ги заведе при извори с животворна вода, а Бог ще изтрие всяка сълза от очите им.“

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.
