Ang 144,000 na Tinatakan sa Israel
7 Pagkatapos(A) nito, may nakita akong apat na anghel na nakatayo sa apat na sulok ng daigdig. Pinipigil nila ang apat na hangin upang huwag umihip sa lupa, sa dagat o sa alinmang punongkahoy. 2 At nakita kong umaakyat sa gawing silangan ang isa pang anghel, taglay ang pantatak ng Diyos na buháy. Sumigaw siya sa apat na anghel na binigyan ng kapangyarihang maminsala sa lupa at sa dagat, 3 “Huwag(B) muna ninyong pinsalain ang lupa, ang dagat o ang mga punongkahoy hangga't hindi pa namin nalalagyan ng tatak sa noo ang mga lingkod ng ating Diyos.” 4 At narinig ko ang bilang ng mga tinatakan, isandaan at apatnapu't apat na libo (144,000) buhat sa labindalawang (12) lipi ng Israel. 5-8 Tig-labindalawang libo (12,000) mula sa bawat lipi ng Israel: Juda, Ruben, Gad, Asher, Neftali, Manases, Simeon, Levi, Isacar, Zebulun, Jose, at Benjamin.
Ang mga Nagtagumpay Mula sa Lahat ng Bansa
9 Pagkatapos nito'y nakita ko ang napakaraming tao na di kayang bilangin ninuman! Sila'y mula sa bawat bansa, lipi, bayan, at wika. Nakatayo sila sa harap ng trono at ng Kordero, nakadamit ng puti at may hawak na mga palaspas. 10 Isinisigaw nila, “Ang kaligtasan ay nagmumula sa ating Diyos na nakaluklok sa trono, at sa Kordero!” 11 Tumayo ang lahat ng anghel sa palibot ng trono, ng matatandang pinuno, at ng apat na nilalang na buháy. Sila'y nagpatirapa sa harap ng trono at sumamba sa Diyos 12 na nagsasabi, “Amen! Sa ating Diyos ang papuri, kaluwalhatian, karunungan, pasasalamat, karangalan, kapangyarihan, at kalakasan magpakailanman! Amen.”
13 Tinanong ako ng isa sa matatandang pinuno, “Sino ang mga taong nakadamit ng puti, at saan sila nanggaling?”
14 “Ginoo,(C) kayo po ang nakakaalam,” ang sagot ko.
At sinabi niya sa akin, “Sila ang mga nanggaling sa matinding kapighatian. Nilinis nila at pinaputi ang kanilang damit sa dugo ng Kordero. 15 Iyan ang dahilan kung bakit sila ay nasa harap ng trono ng Diyos at naglilingkod sa kanya sa templo araw at gabi. At ang nakaupo sa trono ang siyang kukupkop sa kanila. 16 Hindi(D) na sila magugutom ni mauuhaw man; hindi na rin sila mabibilad sa araw ni mapapaso ng anumang matinding init, 17 sapagkat(E) ang Korderong nasa gitna ng trono ang magiging pastol nila. Siya ang gagabay sa kanila sa mga bukal ng tubig na nagbibigay-buhay, at papahirin ng Diyos ang bawat luha sa kanilang mga mata.”

Ang 144,000 na Tinatakan
7 Pagkatapos (A) nito, nakakita ako ng apat na anghel na nakatayo sa apat na sulok ng lupa, at pumipigil sa apat na hangin ng lupa, upang walang hanging makaihip sa lupa, sa dagat, at maging sa anumang puno. 2 Nakita ko ang isa pang anghel na umaakyat mula sa silangan, dala-dala ang tatak ng Diyos na buháy, at sumigaw nang malakas sa apat na anghel na binigyan ng kapangyarihang salantain ang lupa at ang dagat. 3 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Huwag (B) ninyong salantain ang lupa o ang dagat, o ang mga puno, hanggang matatakan na namin sa kanilang noo ang mga alipin ng ating Diyos. 4 At narinig ko ang bilang ng mga tinatakan—isandaan at apatnapu't apat na libo ang tinatakan, mula sa bawat lipi ng mga anak ni Israel:
5 Sa lipi ni Juda, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Ruben, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Gad, 12,000;
6 sa lipi ni Aser, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Neftali, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Manases, 12,000;
7 sa lipi ni Simeon, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Levi, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Isacar, 12,000;
8 sa lipi ni Zebulun, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Jose, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Benjamin, 12,000.
Ang Makapal na Bilang ng Tao mula sa Bawat Bansa
9 Pagkatapos nito ay tumingin ako, at naroon ang napakakapal na bilang ng taong hindi kayang bilangin ng sinuman, mula sa bawat bansa, mula sa lahat ng lipi, mga bayan, at mga wika. Nakatayo sila sa harap ng trono at sa harap ng Kordero, nakasuot ng puting damit at may hawak-hawak na mga sanga ng palma. 10 Sumisigaw sila na nagsasabi,
“Ang kaligtasan ay buhat sa ating Diyos na nakaupo sa trono at sa Kordero!”
11 At lahat ng anghel ay tumayo sa paligid ng trono, sa paligid ng matatanda, at ng apat na buháy na nilalang. Nagpatirapa sila sa harap ng trono at sinamba ang Diyos, 12 na nagsasabi,
“Amen! Sa aming Diyos ang kapurihan,
kaluwalhatian, karunungan, pasasalamat,
karangalan, kapangyarihan at kalakasan
magpakailanpaman! Amen.”
13 Isa sa matatanda ang nagtanong sa akin, “Sino ang mga ito na nakadamit ng puti, at saan sila nanggaling?” 14 Sinabi ko sa kanya, “Ginoo, (C) ikaw po ang nakaaalam.” At sinabi niya sa akin, “Ang mga ito ang nanggaling sa matinding kapighatian; hinugasan nila at pinaputi ang kanilang mga damit sa pamamagitan ng dugo ng Kordero.
15 Dahil dito, sila'y nasa harap ng trono ng Diyos,
at naglilingkod sa kanya araw-gabi sa kanyang templo,
at sila'y kukupkupin ng nakaupo sa trono.
16 Hindi (D) na sila magugutom ni mauuhaw man;
hindi na sila sasaktan ng sikat ng araw,
o ng anumang nakapapasong init;
17 sapagkat (E) ang Korderong nasa gitna ng trono ang kanilang magiging pastol,
at kanyang aakayin sila tungo sa mga bukal ng tubig ng buhay,
at papahirin ng Diyos ang luha sa kanilang mga mata.”
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.”

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.
