¶ Y después de estas cosas vi cuatro ángeles que estaban sobre los cuatro ángulos de la tierra, deteniendo los cuatro vientos de la tierra, para que no soplara viento sobre la tierra, ni sobre el mar, ni sobre ningún árbol.

Y vi otro ángel que subía del nacimiento del sol, teniendo el sello del Dios vivo; y clamó con gran voz a los cuatro ángeles, a los cuales era dado hacer daño a la tierra y al mar,

diciendo: No hagáis daño a la tierra, ni al mar, ni a los árboles, hasta que señalemos a los esclavos de nuestro Dios en sus frentes.

Y oí el número de los señalados: ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil señalados de todas las tribus de los hijos de Israel.

De la tribu de Judá, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Rubén, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Gad, doce mil señalados.

De la tribu de Aser, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Neftalí, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Manasés, doce mil señalados.

De la tribu de Simeón, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Leví, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Isacar, doce mil señalados.

De la tribu de Zabulón, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de José, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Benjamín, doce mil señalados.

Después de estas cosas miré, y he aquí una gran compañía, la cual ninguno podía contar, de todas naciones y linajes y pueblos y lenguas, que estaban delante del trono y en la presencia del Cordero, vestidos de luengas ropas blancas, y palmas en sus manos;

10 y clamaban a alta voz, diciendo: Salvación al que está sentado sobre el trono de nuestro Dios, y al Cordero.

11 Y todos los ángeles estaban alrededor del trono, y de los ancianos, y de los cuatro animales; y se postraron sobre sus rostros delante del trono, y adoraron a Dios,

12 diciendo: Amén. La bendición y la gloria, la sabiduría, y la acción de gracias, la honra, la potencia y la fortaleza, sean a nuestro Dios para siempre jamás. Amén.

13 ¶ Respondió uno de los ancianos, y me preguntó: ¿Estos que están vestidos de luengas ropas blancas, quiénes son, y de dónde han venido?

14 Y yo le dije: Señor, tú lo sabes. Y él me dijo: Estos son los que han venido de gran tribulación, y han lavado sus luengas ropas, y las han blanqueado en la sangre del Cordero.

15 Por esto están delante del trono de Dios, y le sirven día y noche en su templo; y el que está sentado en el trono morará entre ellos.

16 No tendrán más hambre ni sed, y el sol no caerá más sobre ellos, ni ningún otro calor;

17 porque el Cordero que está en medio del trono los regirá, y los guiará a fuentes vivas de aguas; y Dios limpiará toda lágrima de los ojos de ellos.

One hundred forty-four thousand sealed

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. 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. 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.”

Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed from every tribe of the Israelites:

From the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were sealed;

from the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand;

from the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand;

from the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand;

from the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand;

from the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand;

from the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand;

from the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand;

from the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand;

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

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.”

144,000 Sealed

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. 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) “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.” Then I heard the number(I) of those who were sealed: 144,000(J) from all the tribes of Israel.

The Great Multitude in White Robes

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:

“Salvation belongs to our God,(N)
who sits on the throne,(O)
and to the Lamb.”

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)
